Industrial robot arm is a new type of mechanical equipment in mechanized and automated production. In the automated production process, an automated device with grasping and moving is used, which can mainly simulate human actions in the production process to complete the work. It replaces people to carry heavy objects, work in high temperature, toxic, explosive and radioactive environments, and replaces people to complete dangerous and boring work, relatively reducing labor intensity and improving labor productivity. The robot arm is the most widely used automated mechanical device in the field of robotics technology, in the fields of industrial manufacturing, medical treatment, entertainment services, military, semiconductor manufacturing, and space exploration. The robot arm has a variety of different structural forms, cantilever type, vertical type, horizontal vertical type, gantry type, and the number of axis joints is named according to the number of axis mechanical arms. At the same time, the more axis joints, the higher the degree of freedom, that is, the working range angle. bigger. At present, the highest limit on the market is a six-axis robotic arm, but it is not that the more axes the better, it depends on the actual application needs.
Robotic arms can do many things in place of humans, and it can be applied to various production processes, ranging from simple tasks to precision tasks, such as:
Assembly: Traditional assembly tasks such as tightening screws, assembling gears, etc.
Pick and Place: Simple loading/unloading jobs like moving objects between tasks.
Machine Management: Increase productivity by transforming workflows into simple repetitive tasks that are automated by cobots and reassigning existing workers’ workflows.
Quality inspection: With a vision system, visual inspection is performed through a camera system, and routine inspections that require flexible responses can also be performed.
Air Jet: External cleaning of finished products or workpieces through spiral spraying operations and multi-angle compound spraying operations.
Gluing/bonding: Spray a constant amount of adhesive for gluing and bonding.
Polishing and Deburring: Deburring and surface polishing after machining improves the quality of the final product.
Packing and Palletizing: Heavy objects are stacked and palletized through logistical and automated procedures.
At present, robot arms are used in many fields, so what are the advantages of using robot arms?
1. Save manpower. When therobot arms is working, only one person needs to take care of the equipment, which relatively reduces the use of personnel and the expenditure of personnel costs.
2. High safety, the robot arm imitates human actions to work, and will not cause casualties when encountering emergencies during work, which ensures safety issues to a certain extent.
3. Reduce the error rate of products. During manual operation, certain errors will inevitably occur, but such errors will not occur in the robot arm, because the robot arm produces goods according to certain data, and will stop working by itself after reaching the required data. , effectively improve the production efficiency. The application of the robot arm reduces the production cost and improves the production efficiency.
