Won a number of the world's first "domestic system" Elite launched the world's largest payload collaborative robot

40% of the world's small and medium-sized enterprises contribute 70% of production capacity, and optimizing the labor cost structure of production lines has become the main battlefield for enterprise competition in the future. In addition to the industrial robots we are familiar with, another form of "robotic arm robot" - collaborative robots is conquering the city.

Since the world's first collaborative robot landed, this "new species" has only been born for more than ten years, but in the past five years, it has gradually become the protagonist of intelligence. Although China's collaborative robot industry started late, at present, domestic collaborative robots have rapidly achieved technological rise, become the mainstream products in the Chinese market, and start the pace of going to sea.

Collaborative robots do not need to be locked in a "cage" like high-power, high-cost industrial robots, its biggest feature is safe collaboration, can allow people and machines to work together in an application scenario, and can also adapt to the flexible production of small batches and multiple varieties.

From handling materials to machine tool loading and unloading, from making coffee to making pancakes, collaborative robots move from factories to shopping malls, from B-end to C-end.

This is also an important track for the rise of China's manufacturing, traditional industrial robots are monopolized by foreign "four families", but now domestic collaborative robots can fill the gap with collaborative robots, and can achieve "straight-line overtaking" in performance. Recently, the domestic Elite Robot launched the world's largest payload collaborative robot CS625 at the same level, winning a number of world firsts in one fell swoop, with a maximum load of 25kg, handing over the latest solution to the "larger load" proposition of collaborative robots.

The 25kg "Mighty Player" has won a number of world firsts

Large-load collaborative robots with a high demand of more than 20kg are extremely high, especially in environments with special clean needs, such as medicine, biology, daily chemicals, food, chips and other fields, as well as in complex and harsh environments, it can replace manual high-risk operations and become the "first choice" for intelligent transformation of enterprises.

Elite CS625 has a load of up to 25kg and a weight of 60kg, entering the era of "60kg", which is 25% lighter than similar foreign products and has a load-to-weight ratio of more than 40%, making it the only "strong player" in the same class. The CS625 is equipped with a 5A load current on the tool side, which is the first in the world. In general, the external power supply current of the tool I/O of the cobot tool is usually less than 2A, and the external power supply of the tool I/O of the CS625 reaches 5A/120W, which is suitable for the power supply scenarios of high-power and high-load terminal tools, such as palletizing, machine tool management, welding, loading and unloading logistics, etc.

CS625 is equipped with a new motion control algorithm, and the running speed is 5% higher than that of similar foreign products and more than 35% higher than that of similar domestic products. In addition, the protection level can reach the world's leading IP68, and it is also the first collaborative robot in China to obtain four international certifications, and its safety is guaranteed.

The CS625 also has a large reach and a working radius of up to 1500mm. The large reach and large load can better meet the handling requirements of large workpieces than models with a load of 10kg and below, and the fastest running speed in the industry greatly improves the efficiency of handling and palletizing operations.

The man-machine safety, dragging and teaching, 360° rotation of the joint, easy to use and easy to deploy are very suitable for the needs ±of small batch and multi-variety arc welding, but the working radius of small and medium-sized collaborative robots is stretched and can only weld small parts. The CS625 has a huge working radius, which exceeds the general special arc welding industrial robot, and can realize the welding of large and medium-sized parts without relying on external shafts. Moreover, the repeat positioning accuracy reaches ±0.05mm, which fully meets the needs of high-precision arc welding process.

Large load, large radius, high precision, high speed, high power supply, and light dead weight are the outstanding characteristics of these two "strong players", which make up for the current situation that the load of collaborative robots is generally small.

3 years of grinding a sword to fill the domestic technology gap

As a development platform, CS series products have gone through 3 years of research and development, with a total cost of 200 million yuan, more than 100 mechanical and hardware optimizations, and more than 100,000 hours of test and simulation of the whole machine. There is no shortcut in research and development, nearly 1,000 performance, reliability, protection, temperature, vibration test tests, hundreds of calibration re-tests are carried out for each prototype iteration, and the finalized products have undergone hundreds of thousands of load durability tests and 0-90 °C high and low temperature cycle tests.

Elite CS series has achieved complete independent research and development in terms of the underlying operating system, embedded hardware and software, process package and top computing power, and module joint technology of collaborative robots.

It is based on the CS series platform that Elite has been able to intensively release new products with a maximum load of 20kg and 25kg in a short period of time, as well as the first self-developed collaborative robot with integrated force control sensors in China, and launched a new type of collaborative robot with a light load with a 1.9-meter arm span.

Domestic "overtaking" overseas outbreak of collaborative robots to meet the blue ocean of tens of billions of markets

GGII predicts that by 2026, China's six-axis and above collaborative robot shipments will be close to 60,000 units, global collaborative robot sales will reach 180,000 units, and the market size will be close to 23 billion yuan.

According to the relevant planning of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, by 2025, the scale of Shanghai's robot-related industries is expected to reach 100 billion yuan.

The Chinese market is still the main market for Elite, currently accounting for 70% of the total sales volume. On January 19, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other 17 departments issued the "Robot +" Application Action Implementation Plan. The plan mentions that by 2025, the density of robots in the manufacturing industry will double compared with 2020.

Elite is mainly used in 3C electronics, auto parts, machining and other industries, among which, machining, new energy, health care and other market segments have increased year-on-year. Because Elite cobots can perceive humans and are relatively safe, they are also used in service industries, such as scientific research and education, FMCG industries, etc.

At the same time, Elite has sold its products overseas, and has established branches in Germany, Japan and United States. Sales are impressive in Germany, Portugal and Turkey in Europe, Korea, Malaysia and Japan in Asia, and United States and Mexico in the Americas.

"Customers in the Asia-Pacific region are generally more sensitive to price, so the market competition is fierce, in addition to Japan, Korea's collaborative robots in the rapid development, at present, other countries for collaborative robots acceptance is in a relatively early stage, the vast majority of users are international large companies, small and medium-sized enterprises slowly began to accept and try; The European region is the birthplace of global collaborative robots, with mature product forms and application scenarios, coupled with its own very developed industry, so the acceptance of collaborative robots is very high. Cao Yunan, CEO of Elite, told the "IT Times" reporter.

In the past, domestic industrial robots started late and developed bumpy, while China used collaborative robots to find another way to quickly achieve corner overtaking. Today, Elite 25kg large-load collaborative robot CS625 has attacked the global market and even achieved "straight-line overtaking", which is also a confirmation that China's intelligent manufacturing has stood on the world-class stage.

The biggest advantage of cobots is that they are safer, easier to use, more efficient, and more flexible. The return on investment cycle is shorter, the deployment efficiency is higher, these two points are also the focus of the enterprise, the current return on investment cycle of Elite collaborative robot is 6-10 months, which can increase the efficiency of the factory by 30%-50%, and the deployment speed is more than 50% higher than the efficiency of traditional industrial robots.

Refinement and science and technology is an important direction of future industrial upgrading, and China's collaborative robot enterprises resonate with the market at the same frequency and change the competitive landscape in the international market. Cao Yunan mentioned: "ChatGPT, which has recently swept the world, has also brought us new problems and coping thoughts about human-machine collaboration. ”
