13 Applications for Industrial Robots

At present, with the increasing degree of automation and intelligence in manufacturing industry, the rapid development of industrial robots, in the field of processing and manufacturing, the application of industrial robots is becoming more and more mature.

So, what are the main areas in which industrial robots can be used?

Arc welding

Arc welding robot mainly has two types of melting pole welding operation and non-melting pole welding operation, which can carry out welding work for a long time, ensure the high productivity, high quality and high stability of welding work and so on.

Point welding

The spot welding robot performs spot welding operation according to the actions, order and parameters specified in the instruction procedure, and its process is completely automated, and it has an interface to communicate with the external equipment, through which it can accept the control commands of the upper-level master and management computer.

Laser welding

Laser welding is characterized by minimal deformation of welding work pieces, almost no connection gap, welding depth/width ratio is high, so the welding quality is higher than traditional welding methods.

Laser cutting

On the one hand, the robot laser cutting system has the characteristics of industrial robot: it can realize all kinds of complex three-dimensional curve processing trajectory freely and flexibly, on the other hand, it uses flexible and can transmit laser fiber from a distance as the transmission medium, which will not restrict the robot's motion path.

Machine feed up and down

The upper and lower material robot system has high efficiency and stability, the structure is simple and easier to maintain, can meet the production of different kinds of products, for the user, can quickly adjust the product structure and expand the production capacity, and can greatly reduce the labor intensity of industrial workers.

Forging.

Forging robot by advanced computer and program automatic control, can completely replace manual, complete the forging production process of continuous feeding, flipping, feeding and other high-risk, simple repetition, high labor intensity work, at the same time can effectively reduce labor intensity and danger, improve the degree of production automation, improve production efficiency.

Go burr

The latest multidisciplinary research results, such as mechanical and precision machinery, microelectronics and computers, automatic control and drive, sensor and information processing, and artificial intelligence, have not only solved many practical problems that are difficult to solve by human resources alone, but also promoted the process of industrial automation.

Stamping.

Stamping robot application robot is conducive to improve the material transfer, work parts loading and unloading, tool replacement and machine assembly automation, so as to improve labor productivity, reduce production costs, accelerate the pace of industrial production mechanization and automation.

Apply glue

With the use of robots, the efficiency of glue coating and dosing is greatly improved. Save a lot of manpower and reduce labor costs a lot. The robot can recover the cost after one year of operation, while the robot operates under normal maintenance for at least ten years. With the rise of high-volume fully automated glue production line, glue coating system will have a wider market prospects and development potential!

Assembly.

Assembly robot is the core equipment of flexible automatic assembly system, which consists of robot operator, controller, end-executor and sensor system. Among them, the structure types of the operator are horizontal joint type, right angle coordinate type, multi-joint type and cylindrical coordinate type, etc., the controller generally uses multi-CPU or multi-stage computer system to achieve motion control and motion programming, the end-executor is designed to adapt to different assembly objects into a variety of claws and wrists, etc., and the sensing system obtains information on the interaction between the assembly robot and the environment and the assembly object.

Robot vision

Robotic vision is one of the important parts of robot system, robot vision can obtain two-dimensional images of the environment through visual sensors, and through the visual processor analysis and interpretation, and then converted into symbols, allowing the robot to identify objects and determine their location.

Spraying.

Spray robots, also known as spray-painting robots, are industrial robots that can automatically paint or spray other coatings. The main advantages of spraying robot: (1) large flexibility, large operating range, (2) improve spray quality and material utilization, (3) easy to operate and maintain, can be programmed offline, greatly shorten the field commissioning time, (4) high equipment utilization rate, spray robot utilization rate of up to 90%-95%.

Sorting.

Sorting robot is a robot with sensors, goggles and electronic optics that can quickly sort goods. Now automatic sorting robots have been widely used. The Japanese-developed apple automatic feeder, which can select 540 apples per minute, is classified according to color, gloss, size, and fed into different containers.
