Enhance competitiveness
As mentioned above, the application of robots originated in the automobile manufacturing industry. GM already has 40000 to 50000 robots, but it can continue to develop and use new methods. In order to make the robot more intelligent, a large number of new strategic choices have been used in precision parts processing. In the past two or three years, car prices have fallen. In order to continuously create profits, manufacturers have reduced production and structural costs. This is the only way. It usually takes hundreds of millions of dollars to buy equipment for the new model of automobile factory reconstruction. The focus of robot manufacturing technology in Guangdong mechanical processing plant is to increase applicability by reducing capital investment. New remote control applications have been found for automatic operation with special equipment. Its flexible performance, job automation play a more coordinated, and has a significant cost advantage.
Robot assistance
The main growth area of Guangdong machining plant is intelligent robot assisted device (IAD). The operator skillfully operates the robot, as if his hands and feet become longer and more powerful. This is remote control technology. No human or robot can replace it. It is a new version of products that help to transform human environment. It helps human partners in many aspects, including power supply, motion guidance, line tracking and program automation. Intelligent robot assistant device uses remote control technology to help people operate parts and payloads more, bigger, better and faster with less pressure. Using the human machine interface, operators and intelligent robot assistive devices work together to optimize openness, guidance and location mobility. Sensors, computer power and manipulation algorithms translate the operator's commands into human lifting devices.
New pattern of remote control
With the development of science and technology and the economic impact brought by Moore's method, Guangdong mechanical processing plant will continue to transform the capacity and price of computers. We should expect more innovation, more cost-effective remote control structure, and more applications beyond the traditional service focus. The biggest change of industrial remote control equipment is that they will form a wider variety of structures and mechanisms. In many cases, when it comes to the configuration of the automation system, it is not immediately considered a robot. For example, remote control devices that automatically operate semiconductor production are far different from those used in automobile manufacturing. We will have a day when there will be more types of programmable remote control devices than there are traditional remote control devices today. A sudden change is coming; Its potential is huge, because in the near future remote control equipment can not only improve cost-effectiveness, but also produce unprecedented advantages and operational applications. Although robot researchers hope to imitate human intelligence and appearance, they have never succeeded. Most robots are still invisible, not omnipotent, and can not quickly identify the target object. There are very few bipedal upright robots, such as the Honda P3, which focuses on research and demonstration samples. Less combined with industrial robot machine vision system, so it's not required for robot machine vision field. In the early days, machine vision paid a high price, and precision parts processing needed technical knowledge and "popular" system. For example, in the mid-1980s, Milacron flexible manufacturing system from Cincinnati had 0000's machine vision system. By 1998, the average price had dropped to 000 and continued to decline.
Today, from Cognex, Omron, 000 you can buy a simple model with a vision sensor. The price reduction reflects today's reduction in computer costs and the focus on developing visual systems for special tasks such as reconnaissance.
