1. Major robot manufacturers are showing their talents to seize business opportunities such as Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing.
The 2017 Asian Industry 4.0 and Intelligent Manufacturing Series Exhibitions held in Nangang from September 6 to 9, 2017 has just officially concluded. In recent years, the world Trends such as Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing are emerging in various places. This Asian Industry 4.0 and Intelligent Manufacturing series exhibition includes industries such as automation industry, robots and intelligent automation, logistics and Internet of Things, and takes Industry 4.0 and intelligent automation as the main exhibition axis.
Manufacturers participating in the exhibition include ABB, YASKAWA Electric Corp., KUKA, EPSON, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Fujikoshi, Taiwan Mitsubishi, Taiwan Electric Power, Century Trading (agent for Japan Fanuc), Shanghai Banking Corporation, and Universal Major robot manufacturers such as Robots, Daming, and Xiangyi, as well as key component manufacturers such as controllers/motors/ reducers, Advantech, Delta, Huahan, Xindai, NEXHAN, TECO, and TECO Pei and Xinpu launched related products at the exhibition.
In particular, Taiwanese manufacturers have launched new products one after another in order to seize business opportunities such as Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. For example, NEXCOM, a major manufacturer of industrial computers and , has become the third company in the world to launch a joint venture with the American Energid company after Japan's Yaskawa Electric and Germany's KUKA. A jointly developed seven-axis robot manufacturer. However, for this seven-axis robot product, in addition to NEXCOM providing the software and controller, Energid is responsible for the seven-axis control software, but the robot arm body is produced by a Taiwanese manufacturer.
In addition, there is another example of a traditional major manufacturer transforming into the field of robotics. In addition to Guangming's Taman Robot, there is also Taiwan's lithium battery module manufacturer Xinpu Technology, which develops industrial robots and Key components, such as multi-axis robots, harmonic reducers with the highest technical threshold and multi-axis servo drives, were released for the first time at the Taiwan Robot and Intelligent Automation Exhibition.
2. Precision assembly of electronic products has become the focus of the development of small industrial robots
In recent years, due to the rising year-by-year labor costs in the global manufacturing industry, and driven by trends such as Industry 4.0 and intelligent automation, more and more companies want to introduce robots and automated production into their factories. Equipment, etc., Especially in terms of precision assembly of 3C electronic products , most robot manufacturers have invested more resources in developing multi-axis robots with movement control accuracy within plus or minus 0.025mm, more accurate drive controllers, and images for machine vision The identification accuracy of the identification system has been improved to a higher level.
At the same time, Taiwanese agents also displayed micro electric servo screwdriver products from companies such as Mountz in the United States. If multi-axis robots are equipped with more precise fixtures and micro electric servo screwdriver systems, they can repeatedly perform precise assembly of locking micro screws. For 3C electronic product assembly factories, this operation is a big step in the automation of factory production lines.
3. When a small industrial robot wears force-sensing skin, it transforms into a collaborative robot
In addition, in terms of collaborative robots, although it includes ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa Electric, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, EPSON, Techman and Universal Robots and others all displayed collaborative robots, but agent Salomon and start-up company Harami Technology respectively displayed products such as robot film force sensors and collaborative safety skins. Generally, small industrial robots only need to be covered with a piece of robot film to sense force. By using a detector or putting on a collaborative safety skin, can allow industrial robots to achieve the safety of collaborative robots while also taking into account the accuracy of industrial robots.
