Analysis of the current situation of the industrial robot industry

What is an Industrial Robot?

Industrial robot is a general term for robots used in industrial production, industrial robots are a kind of automatic operation through programming or teaching, with multiple joints or multiple degrees of freedom, and have certain perceptual functions, such as vision, force sense, displacement detection, etc., so as to achieve autonomous judgment and decision-making on the environment and work objects, and can replace manual labor to complete all kinds of heavy, boring or harmful environmental manual labor automation machines. The complete set of equipment consists of an independent automated production cell composed of industrial robots and peripheral and peripheral auxiliary equipment required to complete work tasks, which minimizes manual involvement and improves production efficiency.

What are the advantages of industrial robots?

Industrial robots and complete sets of equipment can be widely used in various production links of enterprises, such as welding, machining, handling, assembly, sorting, spraying, etc. The application of industrial robots and complete sets of equipment can not only liberate workers from heavy or harmful manual labor, solve the current labor shortage problem, but also improve production efficiency and product quality, and enhance the overall competitiveness of enterprises.

 Regional distribution of industrial robot industry

Industrial robots are widely used in automobile manufacturing, electronic and electrical, chemical, metallurgical and other fields. At present, China's industrial robot industry is mainly concentrated in East China and North China.

The core technology of industrial robot man

Reducer, servo motor, controller is the three major components of industrial robots, foreign industrial robot large enterprises often through the mastery of key parts technology to build core competitiveness.

The controller development of industrial robots is difficult, and most of them are developed by robot companies. Servo motor is the core driving mechanism of automation equipment such as robots, except for robot companies developed by motor companies (such as Yaskawa, Panasonic), servo motors are mostly purchased; There are two kinds of reducers commonly used in industrial robots: RV reducer and harmonic reducer, and the reducer technology development is the most difficult, mainly purchased from two companies in Japan, Nabtesco and Harmanaco.

Combined with the current situation in China, China's labor costs are still in the rising stage, and since the outbreak of industrial robots in 2013, the development of the industry has lasted less than 5 years, from Japan's 10 years of rapid growth experience trend, the robot industry is developing to a deeper and more comprehensive field.
