What is an industrial robot?
Industrial robot is a multi-joint manipulator or multi-degree of freedom machine device for the industrial field, it can automatically perform work, is a machine that relies on its own power and control ability to achieve various functions. It can be commanded by humans or run according to pre-programmed programs, and modern industrial robots can also act according to principles formulated by artificial intelligence technology.
The robot control system is the brain of the robot, which is the main factor to determine the function and performance of the robot. The main task of industrial robot control technology is to control the motion position, attitude and trajectory, operation sequence and action time of industrial robot in the working space. It has the characteristics of simple programming, software menu operation, friendly man-machine interaction interface, online operation prompt and easy to use.
Advantages of Industrial robots
1. Cost savings
The robot can operate 24 hours a day. For example, take out the product and place it on the conveyor belt or the undertaking table, only one person to watch or one person to see two or even more machines at the same time, effectively saving labor costs. In addition, using the mode of industrial manipulator operation, the automatic assembly line can save the plant more, so that the whole plant planning is smaller and more compact. Please modify the description of the manipulator.
2, high production efficiency
The time it takes the manipulator to produce a product is fixed. Within the same life cycle, the output of the manipulator is also fixed and will not rise and fall. And the production time of each mold is fixed, the product yield is also high, and the use of robot production is more in line with the interests of the boss.
3, high safety factor
The use of manipulator production can ensure the safety of workers to a greater extent. There will be no work-related accidents due to negligence or fatigue. In the survival workshop that requires shift work, physiological fatigue is more likely to occur at night, leading to safety accidents, and the use of robotic hands can ensure safe production. In addition, some of the more dangerous types of work, the use of industrial robots to operate, higher accuracy, higher stability, stronger safety, can ensure the safety of personnel.
4, easy to manage
In the past, it was difficult to accurately guarantee the daily production volume because there were always some employees who were lazy. As a supervisor, there are many things to do every day, and it is difficult to catch employees all the time whether they do things well. After the use of manipulator production, the number of workers is reduced, and staff management is more convenient.
Types of industrial robots
1. Mobile robot
Mobile robot (AGV) is a type of industrial robot, it is controlled by computer, with mobile, automatic navigation, multi-sensor control, network interaction and other functions, it can be widely used in machinery, electronics, textile, cigarette, medical, food, paper and other industries of flexible handling, transmission and other functions. Also used in automated warehouse, flexible processing system, flexible assembly system (AGV as the active assembly platform); At the same time, it can be used as a means of transportation in the sorting of goods at stations, airports and post offices.
2, spot welding robot
The welding robot has the characteristics of stable performance, large working space, fast moving speed and strong load capacity, and the welding quality is obviously better than manual welding, which greatly improves the productivity of spot welding operation.
3, arc welding robot
Arc welding robot is mainly used in the welding production of various auto parts. In this field, the international large-scale industrial robot manufacturers mainly provide unit products to complete equipment suppliers.
4, laser processing robot
Laser processing robot is the application of robot technology in laser processing, through high-precision industrial robots to achieve more flexible laser processing operations. The system can be operated online through the teaching box, and can also be programmed offline. Through the automatic detection of the workpiece, the system generates the model of the workpiece, and then generates the machining curve, and can also use the CAD data to process directly. Can be used for workpiece laser surface treatment, drilling, welding and mold repair.
5, vacuum robot
Vacuum robot is a robot that works in a vacuum environment and is mainly used in the semiconductor industry to realize the transmission of wafers in a vacuum chamber. Vacuum manipulator is difficult to import, limited, large dosage, and strong versatility, which has become a key component that restricts the research and development progress of semiconductor equipment and the competitiveness of the whole machine product. Moreover, foreign countries have strictly examined Chinese buyers and belong to the embargo product catalog, and the vacuum manipulator has become a "jam neck" problem that seriously restricts the manufacturing of semiconductor equipment in China. Direct drive vacuum robot technology belongs to the original innovation technology.
6, clean robot
Clean robot is an industrial robot used in a clean environment. With the continuous improvement of the level of production technology, its requirements for the production environment are increasingly harsh, many modern industrial products are required to produce in a clean environment, clean robots are the key equipment needed for production in a clean environment.
