Industrial robots into the machine in the field

Industrial robots are now marching into the machine in the field, and together with the machine for the user to give a variety of personalized intelligent manufacturing equipment. Current domestic enterprises in the machine tool applications robot is still in its infancy, many theories with practical issues have not yet know with sufficient resolve.

The rapid development of a robot with integrated application tools

Authoritative professional exhibition is a reflection of the overall situation of the industry with technological developments in the best window.

Reasons for this rapid growth developments, of course, with the Chinese industrial upgrading and transformation of bakelite hand wheel to bring the lead with catalytic rapid increase of Chinese labor costs, lower prices of industrial robots to enhance the performance of these common factor with a very big relationship, and there are special reasons for machine tools in the field, one is now with CNC machine tools continue to improve the technology, various automatic detection, motion compensation technology matures, the development of machine tool technology bakelite hand wheel has to enter a new stage of intelligence, adding robots just played one kind of role in fueling; the second is the integration of applications with robot machine also has some special advantages, such as, machine density to expand, enhance the utilization of the plant; auxiliary time shortened, bakelite hand wheel to enhance the efficiency of the machine; operating accuracy with repeatability higher than a natural person; greatly reduce the possibility of injury; can work long hours, but no emotional problems with emotional needs, and so on.

Second, the main form of robots with integrated application tools

In most applications of welding, handling, palletizing, assembly, the bakelite hand wheel industrial robots as host utilization. With this not the same, with tools supporting the robot it is generally to play a role as an accessory. Currently the specific application form are:

(1) single unloading

Stand-alone unloading robot on the machine with the most typical and most mature application bakelite hand wheel. Than artificial bakelite hand wheel loading and unloading more accurate, fast and safe. Production volume, short processing time of small parts processing, or heavy lifting required of the workpiece, the robot loading and unloading of the advantages of special significant.

Structural relationship with machine tool robot into the robot mounted on the external machine is formed integrally with two forms with the machine. Mounted on the outside of the robot machine, it is divided into fixed, mobile with? Frame types.

(2) the robot with machine components flexible production lines

Step conversion work undertaken by the robot workpiece, with a number of machine tools consisting of flexible production lines, is a stand-alone unloading more complex and more valuable than one application. In the current industrial upgrading and transformation experience, increasingly strong market demand.

In such applications, the machine bakelite hand wheel layout depends on factors outside the process route with the site conditions. Often we see are L-shaped, U-shaped with straight, opposite arrangement, etc., of which three CNC machine tools a U-shaped layout, by a robot in the middle of the site workpiece conversion, this layout is very compact.

(3) together with the tools to achieve processing experience

Robot clamp workpieces done on punching, bending machining operations, not simply bakelite hand wheel loading and unloading, but replaced all the original manual work. Now add accurate than manual operation with fast, so as to enhance the quality of products with the production efficiency. In particular, solve the pressing injury hazard class machine.

(4) Independent of processing steps

To install special gripper robot, the robot can achieve cutting, grinding, polishing, cleaning and other technology experience. Even allowing the robot directly holding the cutting tool, the workpiece drilling, tapping, riveting, machining can be performed. In this case, the robot itself is a machine.

With visual, tactile robots can be used to assemble parts sorting and other complex processes, even dedicated loading and unloading station equipment, but also to do with the positioning device.

Special equipment to the robot gripper, can be used in high temperature environments job casting, forging machinery, to achieve take iron, casting, heat up and down the rough, artificial replace hard work to achieve direct hot mold and so on.

Industrial robots are a highly flexible universal automation equipment, its applications with features have unlimited space to develop. In the integrated application with the machine, the application form of industrial robots which also continue to explore with innovation.

Third, the situation of the domestic machine tool companies to develop applications with robots

Since industrial robots in principle with the structure there are many similarities with CNC machine tools are controlled by the numerical control system, servo motor drive, complete the precise location of a mobile robot, so machine tool manufacturers have developed considerably in the industrial robot Advantage. Therefore, there are many domestic and foreign manufacturers have a robot machine manufacturer's foundation.

There are also a number of sharp-eyed machine tool companies, aware of the major opportunities coming from a few years ago involved the development and manufacturing of industrial robots. Expand the current domestic robot developed by the machine tool enterprises are mainly two types, one is the NC system vendors, such as wide number, central NC, Eston Nanjing, Dalian Koyo, Chengdu-Thai; the other product categories compared to the range, in OEMs have the advantage on the undertaking complete projects, such as Dalian Machine Tool, Shenyang Machine Tool, Xi'an North Village. In addition, the precision gear manufacturing known Qinchuan Machine Tool Group, after years of painstaking research, successfully developed a robot dedicated RV deceleration device, and has begun the trend of industrialization.

These companies, GSK with Nanjing Eston has to enter the ranks of the major domestic manufacturers of industrial robots, it has a considerable reputation with influence. GSK started the development of industrial robots have been six or seven years, now has a production capacity of 1,000 units, in the perspective of machine tool applications has accumulated a lot of success stories. Nanjing Eston more focused on robot applications on the forming machine. - Bakelite hand wheel Network

Four, to be concerned about some of the problems with the current settlement

Current domestic enterprises in the machine tool applications robot is still in its infancy, many theories with practical issues have not yet know with sufficient resolve. For example the most common form of application or the machine will simply combined with robots, each using a control system. To fully take advantage of the robot with integrated application tools, the need to make unremitting efforts.

(1) machine tool companies to develop the robot should be sufficient to play the inherent advantages of industry-related development goals set higher

From the study of basic theory with application, to improve the manufacturing process with the assembly, to slow down, servo motors and other basic components of a breakthrough, to continue its efforts to improve the level with the quality of domestic robots to contribute.

(2) to promote the increase machine with integrated robot application level, should step up research associated with the development of technical standards

In this area, the machine with a robot control system with mechanical structure has some special requirements, the need to regulate via standards.

(3) should be actively pursued universal machine X-RITE369 is the cultivation of talent with specialized knowledge of

Because it is a new industry, research and application of talent with the robot is very scarce. Especially the application point of view, the moment in the country, whether it is the robot integrator or user knowledge with the lack of experience is not the same degree, often resulting in frustration with failed objectives.

(4) machine tools with robots that work should have adequate automation

Such as automatic detection processing accuracy, bakelite hand wheel tool wear condition of compensation and automatic detection with automatic tool replacement to ensure continuous and stable operation of the flexible work unit.

(5) of the robot work with the machine should be jointly designed, respectively, the necessary adaptations

Not only the mechanical structure (such as protective structure) change here, there are also integrated control system, all kinds of bakelite hand wheel sensor arrangement, so as to form a unified spatial layout is reasonable, coordinated function of the organic whole.

Given the state of research and development of robots with integrated application tools, bakelite hand wheel related companies should build an effective organization liaison mechanisms to strengthen communication with cooperation, to share resources with adequate complementary advantages, timely construction of the necessary technical specifications with standard form force of industrial development. This transformation and upgrading of China bakelite hand wheel machine tool industry will also play a useful role.
