On the 21st, KUKA Industrial Robot and its Chinese brand ambassador, table tennis athlete Tim · Bohr, participated in the 29th China International Rubber and Plastics Industry Exhibition. The relevant person in charge of KUKA said that the Foshan market has great potential and the market prospects are very good, "I hope that this time it can attract the attention of Foshan enterprises."
Increases the "haptics" function
The reporter communicated with some Foshan enterprises and found that they are more concerned about energy consumption. According to statistics, the energy consumption of lighting and material transmission in a factory alone accounts for more than half of the energy. Some experts pointed out that the presentation of robots will reduce unnecessary energy consumption such as air conditioning and lighting. It is reported that KUKA robots can now achieve the lowest power consumption of only 15 watts per hour, but still account for 30% of the energy consumption of production. Now KUKA is trying to make the robot smaller in order to reduce the size of the plant and keep the production capacity the same.
The reporter saw at the exhibition site that KUKA brought three intelligent and efficient products to the exhibition. One of the new 7-axis robots is equipped with sensors that will actively move away when it senses someone, and even more peculiarly, it can teach the robot how to work by hand. It is reported that the previous robots only had "vision" and mobility talents. When working with humans, it is common to injure people and even kill workers. When the robot has the "haptic" function, it can complete the man-machine operation mode, and can be quickly and actively programmed. "This will be the protagonist of Industry 4.0," said Xin Zhi, Regional Sales Director at KUKA. ”
"Know" to take back the dust
Robots can not only improve production value, but also replace humans in high-temperature, dust, corrosion, humidity and other environments that may endanger health. The Kunshan explosion killed the innocent workers, and the dust became the main culprit. The reporter saw at the exhibition that a robot knows how to "take back" the dust. The robot can polish and polish while adding water to flush the dust onto the tray underneath and take it back.
World-class table tennis player Tim · Ball has played against robots twice. It is reported that on March 11 last year, in order to celebrate the company's launch of the production line in China, KUKA held a man-machine table tennis match, and sent a single-arm robot KR AGILUS robot with the reputation of "the world's fastest robot". On March 11 of this year, the KUKA KR AGILUS robot made a comeback after "hardship and training" and performed a "revenge" duel, and in the end, it was still human beings who won the success. Tim · Boll admitted in an exclusive interview on the 21st that he did not expect that the KR AGILUS robot has made great progress in just one year. This time, the robot has been added, making it more precise and flexible. "I'm looking forward to competing against KUKA Robotics again." |
