Let’s talk about the application value hot fields of collaborative robots

Now with the advancement of technology, more more labor is replaced by machines. On the one hand, it is convenient does waste time, on the other hand, it may reduce costs. The same is true in factories. Many factories now have robots to replace labor.

1. Lifting pulling heavy objects

In production workshops with high vertical heights, heavy object lifting traction will encounter repetitive heavy object lifting. In traditional workshops, lifting platforms are often used to lift objects at fixed points, but the lifting platform has the problem of transferring the heavy objects nearby after lifting them. Therefore, the robot can continue to move to the required location of the objects after lifting traction, solving the point-to-point problem of the lifting platform.

2. Pipeline operation

The operation of the assembly line lies in the fact that robots can replace manual labor to perform intermediary operations in the assembly line links. For example, due to problems such as assembly line planning engineering production link planning, when manual processing operations are required between assembly lines, robots can be used to replace the intermediate links, thereby giving full play to the robot's stable long-term operating characteristics in the connection of assembly line operation links.

3. Duplicate item transfer

The reason for repeated item transfer is that in larger production factories, items often need to be transferred back forth. In traditional production processes, forklifts other light-duty operating tools are generally hired to perform the repetitive operations of transferring items by machines. Therefore, robots can be used in larger factories to replace forklifts other parallel transportation tools to reduce labor.

In the monotonous assembly line, repetitive lifting of heavy objects heavy lifting pulling, humans cannot compare with collaborative robots. Intelligent collaborative robots can completely replace manual work content, robots will be affected by fatigue emotions, which improves work efficiency. When larger machines are doing engineering operations such as cutting bending, robots can be used to assist in stable engineering operations, which is conducive to the protection of manual safety. The application value of intelligent collaborative robots in factories is so great that more more traditional manufacturing industries will gradually use them.

In what fields are collaborative robots primarily used?

Collaborative robots have become an important driving force for the rapid development of the industrial robot market because of their high safety, high flexibility high precision, as well as plug--play, simple intuitive programming, simple operation, which allows non-professionals to quickly master use them . So in what fields are collaborative robots primarily used?

1. Traditional industrial applications

Many traditional applications have benefited greatly collaborative robots that can perform repetitive heavy manual labor, such as assembly, loading/unloading, packaging, sorting, distribution, grinding polishing applications. As the adoption rate of robots in enterprises of all sizes increases, robots are no longer just for large industrial manufacturers. With today's collaborative technology, many machine manufacturers have found that the return on investment period is as short as less than 1 year. In addition to the advantages of reduced labor costs increased product productivity, these robots can also support factories to reduce the size of assembly lines can work directly next to their operators in the same place. Finally, collaborative robots can work in complex human environments without the need to install large external sensors barriers. This allows factories to deploy, remove robots deploy manpower as required by the current working environment. This can achieve the flexibility required for many types of small-batch manufacturing equipment.

2. Warehousing logistics

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have been used in the warehousing logistics industries for many years, but traditionally, large equipment investments have been required to support the operation of these vehicles. New navigation technologies support the operation of AGVs within a warehouse factory without the use of reflectors markers. In addition to new navigation technologies, an emerging technology has been developed by combining mobile robots articulated robots. This combination presents an exciting new opportunity to operate robots around equipment pick pack products by robots while working in human environments.

3. Remote security monitoring

Collaborative robots present an exciting opportunity in remote security surveillance. This application combines a variety of different technologies, including mobile robots, sensing video surveillance. Opportunities for these robots include national borders other large open areas such as farms, solar power plants, warehouses, airport parking lots military bases. Collaborative robots do require external safety barriers, as the number of deployments of these robots continues to increase, the number of applications that can benefit them will also increase. We are already seeing significant benefits of collaborative robots in industrial settings, complex/risky applications, warehousing logistics, security surveillance.

4. Complex risky applications

Collaborative, complex sensing robots can only work alongside operators, but also support complex dangerous applications it is difficult to deploy traditional robots. In applications such as spraying removing paint large ships, the average operator is usually exposed to various risks, including chemicals falls heights. Now, robots can be deployed to complete this work without the overly complex task of installing guide rods, tracks sensors on the ship. Another application is disaster recovery robots, which deploy robots to perform tasks in unfamiliar treacherous terrain.

5. Application in surgical operation

Reducing risk, shortening surgery time recovery time remain the focus of surgical robotics. By improving conventional laparoscopic arthroscopic inspection skills, surgical robots can provide surgeons with greater visibility, dexterity, accuracy comfort while working safely beside operating room personnel on patients. Today's surgical robots can reduce surgical trauma, improve patient outcomes, shorten postoperative hospital stays for patients undergoing prostate, cardiac, gynecological other surgeries. With the development of new surgical procedures, increasing global demand, continued innovation in collaborative technologies, the development potential of surgical robots is unlimited.Robot Design
