Due to the problems of safety, high precision and intelligence in the process of human-machine collaboration, the core technology of collaborative robots has been monopolized by foreign manufacturers. At the same time, the high prices caused by the monopoly of foreign enterprises are also daunting to domestic manufacturing enterprises, which seriously affects the automation process of China's industry. However, with the announcement of the breakthrough of this neck technology, the situation of "being controlled by others" faced by China's manufacturing industry in this field will be fundamentally changed. In the future, with the market popularization of the second generation of global collaborative robots, the process of industrial automation in China is expected to accelerate.
Collaborative robots, as the name suggests, are short for a type of robot that works with production line workers to assist in production. Through robot substitution and human-machine collaboration, collaborative robots highly integrate the efficiency of robot work and human intelligence, so as to realize the automation upgrade of the production line and achieve the effect of improving product quality and efficiency. Compared with industrial robots, collaborative robots have the characteristics of human-machine collaboration, small working radius and safer and more accurate work, and can adapt to a relatively harsh working environment, which is favored by some special production enterprises, especially those with strong repetitive labor in the production process. At present, collaborative robots have a wide range of application scenarios in 3C, automotive, medical and other fields. In China, due to foreign technology monopoly, high prices and other reasons, collaborative robots have not been widely popularized, and there are few enterprises engaged in the research and development and production of collaborative robots.
What is the world's second-generation cobot?
Elite believes that the current first generation of cobots focuses on safe collaboration, easy programming, and flexible deployment. On the basis of the first generation of collaborative robots, the second-generation collaborative robots pay more attention to intelligence, platform, openness and interconnection. CS series robots, at the beginning of the project, carried the most simple belief of all members of the Elite CS project team: "to do the best products". From the underlying operating system, embedded hardware and software, process package and top computing power, and the module joint technology of collaborative robots, Elite has achieved complete independent research and development. With the help of the strong technical ecology and product development of Elite Robot, it not only solves the technical blockages commonly faced by the first generation of collaborative robots, but also leads similar enterprises in terms of intelligence, platform, openness, and interconnection. In terms of ecological expansion, CS series robots provide modular GUI human-computer interaction interface and custom plug-ins, which are convenient for users to integrate and expand.
As the first collaborative robot product in China to pass the ISO13849PLd Cat3 functional safety certification, the CS series has been comprehensively innovated from hardware to software, and has fully benchmarked against the international advanced level in terms of safety, ease of use, easy maintenance and scalability. For example, from the hardware level, the integrated, independent dual-core motherboard, high-speed system bus frequency, more IO ports (control box 24DI, 24DO, 2AI, 2AO), more powerful power driving capabilities (controller 24V continuous power supply capacity of 3A, external power supply capacity of 6A, tool side 24V continuous power supply capacity of 3A), stronger computing power and communication capabilities. From the software level, high-performance embedded security controller, multi-sensor fusion technology, flat, flowchart programming interface, modular, tree-diagram programming mode and python programming script flexible combination, extensible software architecture, more open custom interface, instructions, configuration functions, customizable security formula.
This time, Elite CS series robots have released a total of 3 models, CS63, CS66, and CS612, which can provide a maximum load of 3kg, 6kg, and 12kg respectively, as well as flexible deployment methods that can be wall-mounted, ground-mounted, and upside down, which also brings great convenience to enterprise installation and deployment. In addition, the human-computer interaction operation training courses held regularly by Elite Robot are also expected to further reduce the learning cost of enterprise production management personnel. At present, CS series robots can be applied in many industries such as 3C, automobile manufacturing, food processing and services.
Behind the successful development of CS series robots is the hard work of the R&D team of Elite Robot. People familiar with the matter said that in order to obtain a breakthrough in the core technology, the Elite robot product research and development team has endured the ruthless test of the epidemic, the lack of funds for start-ups and the blockade of technology by foreign companies. The difficulty of its technology research and development, the twists and turns of the research and development process, far higher than the imagination of many people in the project team, from the beginning for the dream, to the later down-to-earth, but also objectively reflect the situation of the project in the past three years. "The closer we get to the end, the more excited we become, and the feeling of realizing it step by step after we have walked through the road is wonderful" This is the psychological portrayal of the project team members.
The successful development of CS series products has made it possible for China's manufacturing enterprises to achieve corner overtaking and industrial transformation. In the post-epidemic era, affected by multiple factors such as geopolitics, escalation of international conflicts, manpower shortages and rising labor costs, China's manufacturing enterprises are generally facing problems such as rising product competition and increasing financial cost pressure. The successful research and development of CS series products has made more digital upgrades for manufacturers, tertiary industry service providers, and multi-scenario service providers more selective.
Cao Yunan, founder of Elite Robot, said that refinement and technology are important directions for future industrial upgrading, and they are also the main battlefield for future enterprise competition. In the scenario that 40% of the world's small and medium-sized enterprises contribute 70% of the world's production capacity, optimizing the labor cost structure of the production line will help improve the quality and competitiveness of products. As a technology-based enterprise, Elite Robot is willing to work with many partners in the technology ecology to empower every link of technology upgrading through the introduction and integration of cutting-edge technologies. It is hoped that the emergence of CS series robots can provide a new direction for China's industrial automation upgrading.
