7 main application scenarios of robot arm
Introduction: scenario is an important part of new technology application. The more scenarios, the more extensive the application and the greater the expectation space in the future. However, if a technology is born without a practical application scenario, that is, it cannot be integrated into people's daily life and production, which will have a fatal impact on its subsequent development.
What are the application scenarios of the robot arm? Its application characteristics are very obvious. It mainly replaces manual work in dangerous scenes or replaces intensive and repetitive actions. If the working scene meets the above two characteristics, the manipulator can be applied.
The robot application scenarios are mostly in the manufacturing industry, with heavy industrial properties, such as metal processing, polishing, assembly, loading and unloading of machine tool, stacking / handling, rubber / plastic, sorting, etc.
Metal processing
Metal processing is the processing of raw materials such as copper, iron and aluminum to become articles, parts and components. It can complete forging, rolling, wire drawing, impact extrusion, bending, shearing and other processes instead of manual work.
2. Polishing
The robot drives the pneumatic grinder at the end to automatically change the sandpaper with different grain sizes, and perform rough grinding, fine grinding and polishing on the workpiece. The robot automatically removes and replaces sandpaper with different grain sizes. There are two stations, one for grinding and the other for loading and unloading workpieces. The grinding and polishing operation is always carried out in a water-based environment.
3. Assembly
Mechanical arm assembly here generally refers to automobile assembly. In the automatic production line, automobile assembly is divided into one procedure. The engineer sets various procedures to cooperate with the workers to meet the installation of doors, front covers, tires and other components.
4. Loading and unloading of machine tool
Machine tool feeding is mainly aimed at the problem of difficult feeding in production. For example, textile machine tools, the materials themselves are large and heavy, and manual operation is bound to require the cooperation of many people. The mechanical arm is used to load and unload materials. The program is fixed and the action is fixed. Only the materials need to be loaded and unloaded.
5. Stacking / handling
In the manufacturing industry or FMCG industry, due to the large supply volume and the rapid rise of labor costs, equipping the packing line with automatic stacking equipment can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. System features: the system is safe and stable, ensuring the stacking speed, ensuring that the appearance of the packaging box is not damaged, and ensuring the accurate position and stable stacking.
6. Rubber / plastic
In the production of tire skin, there are many blanking stations, which are boring and repetitive and have certain risks. Therefore, it is hoped that a computer system can be designed to replace the manual cutting work to improve the production efficiency. The one shift work system can be increased from robots to two to three shifts, so as to reduce the production cost in the long run.
7. Sorting
Under the guidance of vision, the robot follows and picks up the work on the conveyor belt, and then sorts it to different material trays. The feature is that the vision system performs positioning compensation and follows and grabs online.
The application of robot arms in production and manufacturing has formed a certain trend, which is benefited from the vigorous development of robot technology in recent decades, the continuous realization of new technology application integration, the new positioning of automatic manufacturing, and the continuous development of application scenarios. Technology is the driving force, and the scenario is benefit and value. Only the technology that generates value can be gradually and have a long-term impact.
