1. Machining applications (2%)
The application of robots in the machining industry is not high, accounting for only 2%, probably because there are many automation equipment on the market that can be competent for machining tasks. Machining robots are mainly used in the fields of part casting, laser cutting, and waterjet cutting.
2. Robotic spraying application (4%)
Robot spraying here mainly refers to painting, dispensing, painting and other work, and only 4% of industrial robots are engaged in the application of spraying.
3. Robot assembly application (10%)
Due to the rapid development of robot sensor technology in recent years, robot applications are becoming more and more diversified, which directly leads to the decline in the proportion of robot assembly applications.
4. Robotic welding applications (29%)
Robotic welding applications mainly include spot welding and arc welding used in the automotive industry, although spot welding robots are more popular than arc welding robots, but arc welding robots have developed rapidly in recent years. Many machine shops are gradually introducing welding robots to automate welding operations.
5. Robotic Handling Applications (38%)
At present, handling is still the largest application field of robots, accounting for about 4% of the overall application of robots. Many automated production lines require robots for loading and unloading, handling, and palletizing. In recent years, with the rise of collaborative robots, the market share of handling robots has been increasing.

Universal Robots – an introduction to the features of the robot control system
(1) The control of the robot is closely related to the kinematics and dynamics of the mechanism. The state of the robot hand and foot can be described under various coordinates, and the reference coordinate system should be selected according to the specific needs, and the appropriate coordinate transformation should be done. There is often a need for forward kinematics and anti-kinematics.

Universal Robots – a common fault with welding robots
1. Welding deviation problem: it may be that the welding position is incorrect or there is a problem when looking for the welding gun. In this case, it is necessary to consider whether the TCP (welding torch center point position) is accurate and adjust it. If this situation occurs frequently, it is necessary to check the zero position of each axis of the robot, and re-calibrate it to repair.
