Jie Dangyang, CEO of Junduo, said: I hope that the electric gripper can boost the market process of robots and automation equipment.
PART 1 How big can the electric gripper track be
is increasingly becoming more intelligent in the production and transformation of robots The market demand for automation equipment is strong. Driven by the development of the overall market, the gripper market to which the end effector belongs has gradually attracted attention from the outside world. As the core functional accessory of robots and automation equipment, grippers play an important role in the process of technological transformation and upgrading.
It is estimated that the global manufacturing industry consumes more than 30 million modular grippers every year. The market size of pneumatic grippers has reached 100 billion yuan, but it needs to be recognized that this field is currently dominated by foreign capital for a long time. , Domestic brands accounted for less than 10% of sales. In recent years, relying on the rapid development of the collaborative robot market in China and the release of the replacement demand for industrial automation, electric grippers have gradually expanded their application boundaries, driven by the development of flexible production tools represented by collaborative robots, and their product forms have become more abundant. , The potential is beginning to show; at the same time, as the small size, high power density, short deployment time, maintenance-free, and information-based drive technology matures, the electric gripper market has entered the fast lane of development.
After assisting customers in developing dozens of cases, Jie Dangyang, the founder of Suzhou Junduo Robot Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as Junduo), expressed his views on the current market: "3C Electronics The industry’s opportunities will inevitably extend to the entire manufacturing industry, especially in the field of industrial automation. More convenient, more efficient, and smarter electric grippers are bound to attract more people’s attention. It can at least help reduce integrators by 10-15%. At the same time, he said that in the field of electric grippers at this stage, domestic and foreign companies are basically at the same starting line. If you want to stand out from the competition, you must be fully prepared.
As a pioneer in the domestic electric gripper market, Jun Rudder Robot can quickly respond to market demand, carry out technological innovation, product optimization, and iterative upgrades, so it has certain first-mover advantages. Take the beginning of 2020 as an example. The sudden attack of the new crown epidemic has pressed the accelerator key for the digital transformation of enterprises.

PART 2 Jundang CEO Jie Dangyang: a robot that came out of the aerospace field
strong1p5p _strongp CEO _strongp CEO strong1 _strong4p , Ph.D. from the Institute of Robotics of Harbin Institute of Technology, under the tutelage of Academician Cai Hegao and Changjiang Scholar Professor Liu Hong, he chose the path of entrepreneurship after working in the system for nearly 10 years. With excellent grades, Jie Dangyang, who was interested in science and mechanical products since he was a child, chose Harbin Institute of Technology, which has the reputation of "engineers' cradle" when he applied for college volunteers. His major is mechanical and electronic engineering, which he is interested in. Because of his outstanding professional ability, during his Ph.D. study, he and his supervisor participated in the development of the first domestic light-weight manipulator for a space station in the German Aerospace Joint Laboratory. Since then, he has also plunged into the design and development of the robot end effector. After graduation, Jie Dangyang entered the First General Design Department of the First Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. After two years of work, he was promoted to the position of deputy leader of the key model general engineering group. He was also appointed by the Academy for exchanges abroad. Working in the state-owned system is an absolute "iron rice bowl", and it is still in a unit like the General Department of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group. He has good room for promotion and looks promising, but for Jie Dangyang, his pursuit does not stop there. "I think I am a very creative person, and I want to do something according to my own ideas." After many years of training in aerospace, his original intention was to serve the aerospace industry. Jie Dangyang decided to take this opportunity to use entrepreneurship as a battlefield. “At that time, our country lacked end tools that could cooperate with collaborative robots. I was always thinking about how to break the dependence of our country’s important facilities on foreign countries. I hope I can apply what I have learned. , To make better use of his expertise in robotics and contribute to the localization of my country’s automation industry.” Since then, Jie Dangyang’s life has also taken a new path. From zero to the breakthrough of the "first finger", it took 50 days for Dangyang. It is precisely because of this hand that accelerated his determination to "do more extreme". In 2018, when the electric jaw clamp was still monopolized by foreign equipment, Jie Dangyang chose to leave the state-owned enterprise to become a "pioneer".
In order to build the world's most cost-effective electric gripper, he devoted himself to research and conquered high-power servo drives, high-reliability magnetic encoders, ultra-thin electromagnetic brakes, and low-back high-load planetary gear sets. We have conducted in-depth research on customer sites and made in-depth research on the key technologies of many core components, making the products extremely easy to use, and invested a lot of money in the development and construction of molds and software platforms.
Junruo has mastered a variety of industrial-grade dexterous hands, robot body design, machine vision, robot teleoperation and other core technologies, and has successively developed a "2-minute configuration" intelligent electric motor for the integration of industrial and collaborative robots and automation systems.
