Industrial robot is a kind of automatic mechanical equipment with multiple functions and positions. It can complete some practical tasks in the manufacturing process and manufacture the main machine or production line through repeated programming and automatic control. Production, single machine or multi machine automation systems can be configured to realize production processes such as transportation, welding, assembly and spraying. Nowadays, industrial robots, technology and industry have developed rapidly, which have been widely used in production and become very important modern automation equipment in production. What are the key technologies of industrial robots and their applications?
Characteristics of industrial robots
Since the first generation of robots appeared in the United States in the early 1960s, the development and application of industrial robots have developed rapidly. The further development of production automation is flexible automation. Industrial robots can be programmed to work in a changing environment, so they can play a good role in flexible manufacturing processes with small batches, multiple types, balance and high efficiency. Industrial robot technology involves a wide range of topics, but it is a combination of precision machinery technology. The third generation intelligent robot not only has different types of sensors to obtain information about the external environment, but also has artificial intelligence, such as memory, language understanding, image recognition, logic, judgment, etc., which is closely related to the application of microelectronic technology, especially the application of computer technology.
Five application fields of industrial robots
1. Mechanical application (2%)
The application rate of robots in the mechanical industry is not high, only 2%. This may be the reason why there are many automation devices on the market that can execute important machines. Robotic machines are mainly used for casting parts, laser cutting and cutting off jet water.
2. Robot spraying application (4%)
The Robotics Association is mainly engaged in the installation, disassembly and maintenance of parts. In recent years, with the rapid development of robot sensor technology, robot applications have become more and more diversified, leading to a direct decline in the proportion of robot associations.
3. Application of welding robots (29%)
Robotic welding applications mainly include arc welding points used in the automotive industry. Although automatic welding is more popular than automatic arc welding, it has developed rapidly in recent years. Many workshops gradually develop and introduce automatic welding robots to realize this process.
