In recent years, collaborative robots and mobile robots have developed rapidly, and the growth rate has far exceeded that of traditional industrial robots. This is not only due to the rapid development of the industry, but also the blessing of policies in recent years. It is understood that in the production cycle of a product, only about 5% of the time in terms of production time is used for the processing and manufacturing of products, while the remaining 95% of the time is used for logistics turnover, and at the same time, logistics links occupy about 40% of the proportion in terms of production costs. Therefore, the pain points of production and logistics in the manufacturing field are obvious, the cost and efficiency need to be improved, and there is a great demand for the innovative application of intelligent logistics equipment and solutions. As a result, composite robots came into being.
Elite is one of the earliest companies involved in composite robots in China, and it is also one of the manufacturers with the most application solutions for composite robots. Recently, the official website of Elite composite robot was launched, cool page, more case display, you can click on the bottom of the article "Read the original text" to log in to the website for reference, if you need Elite composite robot information, please pay attention to Elite official WeChat account, private message Xiao Ai "composite robot" can get yo——
Composite mobile robots are generally composed of robotic arms, mobile platforms, vision and end effectors, etc., aiming to make the robotic arms no longer limited by the location of the operation, and reach more and wider ranges to meet the growing flexible needs of customers. Composite mobile robots need to provide specific solutions according to the needs and pain points of different types of customers, and the main application scenarios can be divided into the following categories:
1. Labor-intensive and production fluctuations are obvious
2. High labor intensity or harsh environment
3. The cost of logistics land is high
4. As a process, there is a high degree of standardization
5. The requirements for management refinement are high
Elite composite robot is equipped with robotic arm, vision, gripper and other mechanisms for mobile operation, to realize the wafer box, cartridge, tray disk, CNC machining parts and other different materials or fixtures between different processes and equipment transfer and loading and unloading, fully embodies the advantages of the composite robot hand, eye, foot multi-component collaboration. Next, let's deepen our understanding of Elite composite robots through several application cases in different industries——
Automotive industry, smart charging
The gradual rise of new energy trams in the automotive industry has become a general trend, and with it comes the problem of setting charging piles. Especially in public parking lots, it is difficult to avoid the parking demand for non-charging fuel vehicles if there are too many charging spaces, and it is difficult to balance the two. The emergence of composite mobile robots can optimize resources to a greater extent.
Compared with the fixed charging pile, the advantage of the composite mobile robot is that the equipment is no longer limited by the location, it receives the instruction to automatically go to the designated place, the collaborative robot combined with the vision system to accurately identify and insert the charging port, and charge the vehicle, Elite composite robot has been successfully applied to a well-known new energy automobile factory in North China and East China.
3C industry, CNC machine loading and unloading applications
With the growing demand for customization and personalization of 3C products, the requirements for the flexibility of equipment and production lines such as robots and automation are also increasing. At the same time, the 3C industry has put forward new requirements for logistics handling: mass customization, shortened production cycles, requirements for flexible and matrix production, and logistics has the ability to respond quickly; In order to reduce risks, the dismantling of production lines is more subdivided, and the frequency of logistics increases, requiring higher efficiency; It can be connected with the MES system to accurately map the production information to the production operation, and accurately control the supply chain and production cycle.
Elite composite robot has been successfully introduced into the production line of well-known domestic 3C manufacturing industry and Apple cooperative suppliers to do CNC machine loading and unloading applications. This project involves a total of ten buffer lines in the production line, a buffer line has ten machines, through a number of composite robots for one-to-many feeding, reclaiming, a tray loaded with 30 mobile phone glass back covers, in the case of high load also has high requirements for accuracy, and at the same time limited by the on-site environment layout of the robot action path precise planning.
3C industry, material transfer applications
The customer is a national high-tech enterprise focusing on the R&D, production and sales of connectors, and its products are mainly used in 3C (computer, communication, consumer electronics), automotive and communication fields. The project application requires a composite robot to replace manual work to pick and place the electrode/workpiece in the material rack storage location, and the electrode is picked and placed on the CNC workbench quick-change base, which needs to cooperate with the customer's control system during the period; AGV is used to transport the material transfer of the electrode rack in the warehouse and CNC workshop, as well as the material transfer from the CNC workshop to the measuring room and from the measuring room to the warehouse.
The composite robot grabs the electrode from the electrode rack to the CNC machine for processing, the processed product is grabbed by the ARV and placed in the rack, and the AGV transports the full rack to the measurement room for testing;
The end execution accuracy of the manipulator arm of the composite robot is required to be ±1mm, and the gripping load is required to be greater than 6kg;
The composite robot adopts the latent jacking function, and the parking accuracy needs to be ±5mm;
The task section of the system executes the task order instruction by the MES side, and the AGV system delivers the task.
In recent years, the demand for composite robots has been in the channel of volume increase, and many companies have laid out product lines and solutions. In an increasingly complex and open competitive environment, Elite has always adhered to the logic of calming down and making good products. "Winning in stability" is not to slow down the pace, but to make products and solutions thorough and practical. With the increase in the actual landing scenarios of Elite composite robots and the increasing abundance of industry fields, we will create more practical solutions and gradually achieve the goal of platformization.
