Development and Application of Industrial Robots

Abstract: With the continuous development of computer technology in the direction of intelligence, and the continuous expansion and deepening of robot applications, industrial robots have become a high-tech industry, which has played a huge role in industrial automation and will play a role in future production and social development. The more important the role it plays. The article describes the domestic and foreign development status and application trends of industrial robots, as well as the economic benefits they bring.

1. Introduction Industrial robots are a kind of robot, which consists of manipulators. Controller. The servo drive system and the detection sensor device constitute a kind of automated production equipment for mechanical and electrical integration, which can be used for automatic control of humanoid operation, repeatable programming, and can be used to complete various operations in a three-dilemma space. It is particularly suitable for flexible production of many varieties and variable batches. . It plays an important role in stabilizing and improving product quality, increasing production efficiency, and improving the rapid replacement of labor conditions.

2. Benefits brought by industrial robots Widely used industrial robots can gradually improve working conditions, have stronger and controllable production capabilities, and accelerate the upgrading of products. Improve production efficiency and product quality, eliminate dry and odorless work, save labor, provide a safer working environment, reduce labor intensity of workers, reduce labor risks, improve machine tools, reduce the workload during the process and reduce production downtime and inventory, Improve the competitiveness of enterprises.

3, the development of industrial robots With the continuous progress of science and technology, the development process of industrial robots can be divided into three generations, first-generation, to teach reproduction robot, it is mainly composed of robot controller and teaching box, can be in advance Guided actions record the repeated execution of information, which is currently applied most in industry. The second generation is a sensory robot. If it has a strong sense of touch and vision, it has the ability to make feedback adjustments on certain external information. It has now entered the application stage. The third generation is a smart robot. It has the ability to sense and understand the external environment. It can successfully complete tasks when the work environment changes. It is still in the experimental research stage.

3.1 Development of foreign industrial robots The United States is the birthplace of robots. As early as 1961, the United States Consolided Control Corp and AMF Corporation jointly developed the first practical teaching and reproducing robot. After more than 40 years of development, the robotics technology in the United States has always been a leader in the world. Its technology is comprehensive, advanced and adaptable.

Japan introduced the first robot from the United States in 1967. After 1976, with the rapid development of microelectronics and the sharp increase in market demand, Japan’s labor force was significantly insufficient. Industrial robots were welcomed by the “savior” in the enterprise, making Its Japanese industrial robots have developed rapidly. Now, regardless of the number of robots or the density of robots, it ranks first in the world and is known as the "Robot Kingdom." Germany had introduced robots about five to six years later than Britain and Sweden. However, the labor shortage caused by the war and the high level of nationals’ technical skills have provided favorable conditions for the development and application of industrial robots. In addition, in Germany, it is stipulated that for dangerous, toxic, and harmful jobs, robots must replace ordinary people's labor. This opens up a wide range of markets for robotic applications and promotes the development of industrial robotics. At present, the total number of German industrial robots accounts for second in the world, second only to Japan.

The French government has always attached importance to robotics technology. Through vigorously supporting a series of research projects, a complete scientific and technological system has been established, making the development of French robots relatively smooth. In government-organized projects, special emphasis is placed on the research of basic robotics technology and the focus is on the application of robots. Supported by the industrial sector in the application and development work, the two complement each other, enabling the rapid development and popularization of robots in the French business community, thus giving France an indispensable place in the international industrial robotics community.

At the end of the 1970s, Britain began to implement and implement a series of measures to support the development of robots. The British industrial robots started earlier than today’s robotic country, Japan, and had achieved early glory. However, at this time, the government imposed restrictions on the development of industrial robots. This mistake led to a slump in the UK's robotics industry and it was almost at the bottom in Western Europe. In recent years, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Finland, Denmark and other countries have developed very rapidly due to the large demand for their domestic robot market. At present, the international industrial robot companies are mainly divided into Japanese and European. Japanese companies mainly include Yaskawa, oTC, Panasonic, FANLUC, Fujitsu, and Kawasaki. In the European system, there are mainly KUKA in Germany, CLOOS, ABB in Sweden, CO in Italy, and GM in Austria.

3.2 Development of domestic industrial robots China's industrial robots started in the early 1970s. After more than 30 years of development, they have gone through three stages: the budding period in the 1970s, the development period in the 1980s, and the application period in the 1990s. With the rapid development of science and technology in the world in the 1970s, the application of industrial robots set off a climax in the world. In this context, China began to develop its own industrial robot in 1972. After entering the 1980s, with the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, under the impact of the high-tech wave, the development and research of China’s robotics technology has received the attention and support of the government. During the “7th Five-Year Plan” period, the state has invested funds to work. The robot and its components were researched and developed, and the development of teaching and reproducing industrial robot complete sets of technology was completed. Spray paint, spot welding, arc welding and handling robots were developed. The national high-tech research and development plan began to be implemented. After several years of research, a large number of scientific research achievements have been achieved. A group of special robots have been successfully developed.

From the early 90s of the 20th century, China’s national economy entered two fundamental transitional periods, setting off a new round of economic restructuring and technological progress. China’s industrial robots have also taken a big step forward in practice. Spot welding, arc welding, assembly, painting, cutting, handling, palletizing and other industrial robots for various purposes, and the implementation of a number of robot application engineering, formed a number of industrial robots industrialization base, for China's robot industry take-off Foundation. However, compared with developed countries, there is still a big gap between our country's industrial robots.

At present, China's industrial robot companies mainly include China Xinsong Machine Automation Co., Ltd. and Shougang Motoman Robot Co., Ltd.

4, the application of industrial robots With the depth and breadth of the development of industrial robots and the improvement of the level of robot intelligence, industrial robots have been applied in many fields. From the traditional automobile manufacturing field to the non-manufacturing field. For example, mining robots, construction robots, and hydropower systems are used to maintain robots. The use of industrial robots in defense military, medical and health, food processing, and life services is also increasing. Automobile manufacturing is a highly intensive technology and capital industry. It is also the most widely used industrial robot industry and accounts for almost half of the entire industrial robots. In China, industrial robots were initially used in the automotive and construction machinery industries. Industrial robots are a major type of braking equipment used in automobile production. They are used extensively in arc welding, spot welding, spraying, handling, gluing, stamping and other processes for the production of complete vehicles and parts. It is predicted that China is entering a period of rising auto ownership, and in the next few years, the automobile will still grow at a rate of about 15% per year. Therefore, the demand for industrial robots will show a rapid growth trend in the coming years, with an annual growth rate of about 50%. The application of industrial robots in the automotive industry in China will develop rapidly.

In addition to the widespread use of industrial robots in the automotive industry, the demand for industrial robots in the electronics, food processing, non-metal processing, consumer goods, and wood furniture processing industries has also grown rapidly. In Asia, 72,600 industrial robots were installed in 2005, an increase of 40% compared to 2004, and about 31% in the electronics industry. In Europe, according to statistics, the use of industrial robots in the food processing industry in 2005 and 2004 increased by about 17%, and that in non-metal processing industries increased by about 20%, and that in the consumer goods industry increased by 32%. The wood furniture processing industry has grown by about 18%. Industrial robots are also widely used in petroleum. For example, offshore oil drilling, production platforms, pipeline inspections, welding of refineries, large tanks, and storage tanks can all be accomplished using robots. In the next few years, sensing technology, laser technology, and engineering network technology will be widely used in the field of industrial robots. These technologies will make industrial robots more efficient, high-quality, and low-cost. It is predicted that robots will be used in the fields of medical care, health care, biotechnology and industry, education, disaster relief, marine development, machine maintenance, transportation, and aquaculture.

5. Concluding remarks In China, most of the industrial robot market share is occupied by foreign industrial robot companies. In the face of international strongholds, domestic industrial robot companies are facing considerable competitive pressures. Nowadays, China is moving from a “manufacturing power” to a “manufacturing powerhouse”. China's manufacturing industry faces great challenges in keeping with international standards and participating in the international division of labor. It is extremely urgent for China’s industrial automation to increase. The government must increase funding for robots. And policy support will inject new impetus into the development of the industrial robot industry.
