Industrial Robot Industry Knowledge Popularization

An industrial robot is a multi-joint manipulator or a multi-degree-of-freedom machine device for the industrial field. It can perform work automatically and is a machine that realizes various functions by its own power and control capabilities. It can be commanded by humans or run according to pre-programmed programs. Modern industrial robots can also act according to the principles and programs formulated by artificial intelligence technology.

Knowledge popularization of industrial robots
The robot control system is the brain of the robot and the main factor determining the function and performance of the robot. The main task of industrial robot control technology is to control the movement position, posture and trajectory, operation sequence and action time of industrial robots in the work space. It has the characteristics of simple programming, software menu operation, friendly human-computer interaction interface, online operation prompts and convenient use.

The advantages of industrial robots
1. High production efficiency
The time it takes for a robot to produce a product is fixed. In the same life cycle, the output of manipulators is also fixed, and will not fluctuate. Moreover, the production time of each mold is fixed, and the yield rate of the product is also high. It is more in the interests of the boss to use robots for production.
2. Cost saving
The robot can operate 24 hours a day. For example, take out the product and put it on the conveyor belt or the receiving platform, only one person needs to take care of it or one person can watch two or 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 factory space and make the whole factory planning smaller, more compact and exquisite. The description of the manipulator, please revise and perfect.
3. High safety factor
The use of manipulators for production can ensure the safety of workers to a greater extent. There will be no industrial accidents caused by work negligence or fatigue. In survival workshops where shifts are required, physiological fatigue is more likely to occur at night, leading to safety accidents, and the use of manipulators can ensure safe production. In addition, some more dangerous types of work are operated by industrial robots, which have higher precision, higher stability, and stronger safety, which can ensure the safety of personnel.
4. Easy to manage
In the past, it was difficult to accurately guarantee the daily production volume in enterprises, because there would always be some employees who were lazy. As a supervisor, there are so many things to do every day, it is difficult to check whether the employees are doing a good job all the time. After the use of manipulators for production, the number of workers is reduced, and employee management is more convenient.

Types of industrial robots
1. Mobile robot
Mobile robot (AGV) is a type of industrial robot, which is controlled by a computer and has functions such as movement, automatic navigation, multi-sensor control, and network interaction. It can be widely used in machinery, electronics, textiles, cigarettes, medical care, food, The functions of flexible handling and transmission in papermaking and other industries are also used in automated three-dimensional warehouses, flexible processing systems, and flexible assembly systems (using AGV as an active assembly platform); at the same time, it can be used as a transportation tool in the sorting of stations, airports, and post offices .
2. Spot welding robot
The welding robot has the characteristics of stable performance, large working space, fast movement speed and strong load capacity. The welding quality is obviously better than that of manual welding, which greatly improves the productivity of spot welding operations.
3. Arc welding robot
Arc welding robots are mainly used in the welding production of various auto parts. In this field, international large-scale industrial robot manufacturers mainly provide unit products to complete equipment suppliers.
4. Laser processing robot
Laser processing robots apply robot technology to laser processing, and realize more flexible laser processing operations through high-precision industrial robots. The system can be operated online through the teaching box, and can also be programmed offline. The system generates a model of the workpiece through automatic detection of the workpiece, and then generates a processing curve, and can also use CAD data for direct processing. It can be used for laser surface treatment, drilling, welding and mold repair of workpieces.
5. Vacuum robot
A vacuum robot is a robot that works in a vacuum environment and is mainly used in the semiconductor industry to transfer wafers in a vacuum chamber. Vacuum manipulators are difficult to import, restricted, large in use, and highly versatile. They have become a key component that restricts the research and development progress of semiconductor equipment and the competitiveness of complete machines. Moreover, foreign countries have strictly scrutinized Chinese buyers and belonged to the embargoed product catalogue. Vacuum manipulators have become a "stuck neck" problem that seriously restricts the manufacturing of semiconductor equipment in my country. Direct-drive vacuum robot technology is an original innovation.
6. Cleaning robot
A clean robot is an industrial robot used in a clean environment. With the continuous improvement of the production technology level, the requirements for the production environment are becoming increasingly stringent. Many modern industrial products are required to be produced in a clean environment. Clean robots are key equipment for production in a clean environment.

Industrial robot application
Typical applications of industrial robots include welding, painting, assembly, collection and placement (such as packaging, palletizing and SMT), product inspection and testing, etc.; all work is completed with high efficiency, durability, speed and accuracy.
1. Conveyor line
Robot and conveyor line logistics automation system is mainly composed of the following parts: automated conveyor line, robot system, automated three-dimensional storage and feeding system, full-line main control system, barcode data acquisition system, product automated testing system, production line monitoring/scheduling/management system.
