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.
