PHS, Nokia , iphone, mobile phones are constantly changing and innovating, and the demand and requirements for smart phone cover glass are also increasing. As the visual port for human-computer interaction, the display screen plays an important role in the overall interactive experience. Luo Shi Robot pays attention to this demand and applies robots in the field of mobile phones to promote the rapid development of the cover glass industry.
In the past two years, the market for smartphones and tablets has been booming, and the demand for cover glass has also increased significantly. Moreover, in the context of the 5G era, smartphone backplanes are also developing towards glass, and the large-size development of vehicle displays are also driving the rapid development of the cover glass industry.
cover glass is the protective layer of touch screens and is widely used in consumer electronics, automotive central control screens, industrial control, etc. According to China Academy of Information and Communications Technology Phi data, China's cumulative smartphone shipments reached 343 million units in 2021, a cumulative increase of 15.9%, accounting for 97.7% of mobile phone shipments in the same period.
cover glass, also known as protective glass, is an ultra-thin glass used to protect and display the surface of the touch screen after the original alkali aluminum glass has been chemically strengthened. The main raw material of the product is ultra-thin flat glass, which has functions such as impact resistance, scratch resistance, oil resistance, anti-fingerprint, and enhanced light transmittance .
To achieve these functions and requirements, its production and processing processes are correspondingly more complex, such as cutting, CNC engraving, thinning, tempering, coating, printing, packaging and a series of processes. Among them, carving is an important step and requires a high level of craftsmanship.
The internal space of the precision engraving machine is limited, and the working environment is often filled with water vapor, oil mist, cutting fluid and other liquid splashes, which has a certain impact on the robot's automated loading and unloading. In terms of accuracy, volume and protection level, more comprehensive considerations are needed to meet the process requirements.
Luoshi improved its robotic technology to address this problem and developed the XB4 robot, which was actually used in the customer's factory in 2018.
In the past process flow, companies generally chose manual or special machine methods to coordinate the loading and unloading of engraving machines. Using a completely manual method, the work that workers need to complete is simple, but the work intensity and workload are large, and it is easy to delay picking and placing or inaccurate placement due to fatigue. In addition, there is a shortage of personnel for this type of work, and labor costs continue to increase.
In addition, although the use of special machine loading and unloading can solve manual problems to a certain extent, it still has shortcomings such as complex structure, easy damage, high failure rate for long-term operations, and high maintenance costs, which is not conducive to product structure adjustment and replacement. production, it is difficult to cope with the demand for flexible production.
The application of Luoshi XB4 robot can ensure product quality and stability as much as possible, better control labor costs, better match a variety of end products, and optimize loading and unloading methods.
Luoshi XB4 series robots have a more compact body shape and a central control design for the wrist, which can be more easily integrated into the internal operations of the precision engraving machine, eliminating the need for enterprises to redeploy production lines and saving space costs. In addition, Luoshi XB4 series robots can achieve repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm, ensuring high-precision processing results.
In view of the environment full of liquid splashing inside the engraving machine, Luo Shi Robot took the lead in obtaining SGS-certified IP67 level protection and built a pool in the test workshop to test the stability and reliability of the robot's operation in water for a long time. In addition, Luoshi robot products have previously obtained Siemens PI certification, EU CE certification, ISO certification , China CR certification, MTBF certification, etc., ensuring the long-term and stable operation of the robot in work scenarios as comprehensively as possible.
It is understood that the XB4 series robots have high operational stability and have been verified by many companies in practice, with a maximum operating time of nearly 7 years.In the actual production line operation, with the Luo Shi robot, production requires only one human to take care of multiple machine tools for batch feeding. The Luo Shi robot can operate uninterrupted 24 hours a day, and the enterprise's production line operation efficiency and product qualification rate are effectively guaranteed.
In the 5G era, the number and types of smart terminals have increased significantly, driving the demand for cover glass. Smart wearable devices and smart homes are paying more attention to touch screens and touch interactive operations. Cover glass protection has become standard, and future application areas and scenarios may will continue to increase.
ROKAE is a company focused on the research, development and innovation of flexible collaborative robots, light industrial robots and intelligent manufacturing technology. Relying on the company's independently developed high-performance universal control system, a complete and first-class product matrix has been established. The products have been successfully used in 3C electronics, auto parts, sewing and printing and other scenarios.
