Industrial robots are advancing rapidly in the Chinese market

Automatic assembly line feels that with the rising of industrial robots and loading and unloading robots, "machine replacement" will become a trend. The six major manufacturing industries of automobile, electronics, food, chemical industry, plastic rubber, and metal products are regarded as the main fields for the current application of industrial robots. The agency predicts that there will be an annual demand of 1 million to 2 million sets in the future, accounting for about 70% of the market demand for industrial robots in China.

Since mankind created an industrial robot in the early 1960s, industrial robots have shown great vitality. In just over 50 years, robot technology has developed rapidly. Among many manufacturing fields, the industrial robot manipulator is widely used in the automobile and auto parts manufacturing industry, and is constantly expanding to other fields, such as mechanical processing industry, electronic and electrical industry Rubber and plastic industry, food industry, wood and furniture manufacturing, etc. In industrial production, industrial robots such as CNC manipulator, stamping manipulator, CNC robot, loading and unloading manipulator, mobile robot, spot welding robot, arc welding operator, laser processing robot, vacuum robot and cleaning robot have been widely used.

The reason why the industrial robot manipulator can emerge as a new force in the Chinese market is that the industrial robot is programmable and supports multi degree of freedom movement, so its application is more flexible. Although not as good as human beings, industrial robots are still much more flexible than many special planes commonly used in industrial automation. When the industrial application changes little, it is possible to meet the new requirements through robot reprogramming without making a large investment in hardware. In addition, in terms of cost, industrial robots are usually only a quarter of the labor cost; Secondly, robots can also bring a lot of new added value in terms of quality, efficiency, management, etc. Therefore, robot system integration manufacturers feel that China's industrial robot industry is in an era of blowout due to the combined effects of rapid improvement of robot technology, sharp drop in price, labor shortage, rising labor costs and other factors.
