Since 1981, Epson industrial robots were born in response to the production needs of Seiko watch devices, whether it is the traditional G series four-axis robots, or LS and RS series SCARA robots, as well as the C series of six-axis robots, plus the newly released folding arm N series robots, all inherit the genes of Epson's "save small and fine". In 2015, Epson's industrial robot performance increased by 78% over the previous year, and in just 6 years of development in China, the installed capacity has reached 10,000 sets. What makes Epson Robotics so successful?
Epson Industrial Robot - the new N series application has greatly increased
The planning of the structure of the N series robot arm is to ensure that it has a very small gap between its precision performance and the four-axis robot, and retains the flexible characteristics of the six-axis product itself: on the one hand, it can continue to do assembly operations, and on the other hand, it can do more applications. For example, the mobile phone comprehensive test station, which is now all operated manually, can cope with a variety of sequencing machines if the folding robot is used and the desktop device is used, and the test machine can be placed in multiple layers, and the work that may require a two-meter, three-meter-long arm length robot can be done in a very small space. Mr. Tan Weiqing is very optimistic about the application prospects of the N series robots, and even predicts that the N series will not only show their skills in industrial shopping malls, but also in commercial shopping malls: "You can imagine that if pharmacies choose this robot for distribution and sorting, the accuracy and speed will be greatly improved, and his appearance will open a window for us to open up new shopping malls." ”
Epson Industrial Robots – Differentiating Features of Precision Manufacturing
At present, China's industrial robots are mainly used in painting, welding, assembly, transfer, palletizing and other links, mainly heavy-duty and large-scale robots, and are used in cars, logistics, and electronic products. Epson industrial robots serve 3C occupations with light and small industrial robots, as well as the production of car parts, integrate force sensing skills and visual skills into industrial robots, and quickly occupy the precision production device automation market in the 3C category with its high speed and high precision.
The degree of automation in China's car production category is high, and the cost of robots accounts for about 25%-30%; In the 3C category, it is unsatisfactory, the automation rate is about 5%, the robot can only complete a certain process or the automation of a certain operation station, and the cost accounts for about 25% of the overall automation acquisition cost. This status quo clarifies the domestic 3C category, and there is still a lot of shopping mall space for robots, and it also clarifies that there are many difficulties and points to be solved urgently in this category.
Epson Industrial Robots - Helping the Era of Mass Customization
With the increase in labor cost in China year by year, the lack of labor has become the number one problem for manufacturing enterprises; At the same time, the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry has put forward higher requirements for the listing cycle, product quality, production power, energy power, etc.; China's policies for the guidance, subsidies and rewards of key high-end equipment industries such as robots tend to be comprehensively improved. Under multiple factors, the future of robot development space will be more and more broad, according to the organization's estimates in the next five years, the total scale of sales of China's robot shopping malls is nearly 200 billion yuan.
In the face of 3C and 4 products (i.e., light industry occupations), as well as new energy and other new shopping malls, Epson has established a new form of sale - value-added solution provider, which is a form of sale that starts from sale or transaction and provides more added value of solutions. In the industrial category, robots will eventually replace people, and there is another important stage in the center, that is, the solution stage. What is Epson doing to the best of its ability? After in-depth understanding of occupational needs, accumulation of occupational solutions, and formation of general standardized solutions, to complete the improvement of process positions, and then complete the standardization of stacking, this process is a necessary stage.
