With the development of industrial automation, industrial robots are used more and more widely. For business owners who are new to manipulator robots, how to select the robot equipment has become a difficult problem. For example, welding robot equipment used for workpiece welding, welding robot manufacturer technicians will explain gas shielded welding robots, argon arc welding robots, etc., so how do we choose?
1. We have to be clear about what kind of work we want robot equipment to complete instead of manual work, what kind of work environment it is used for, and what the whole work process is like? If you want equipment to complete certain tasks manually, it is suitable to use collaborative robots. If you want robot equipment to independently complete painting, palletizing, handling, cutting, etc., choose the appropriate equipment according to your needs. Spraying robot is used for spraying. If it is on injection molding machine, injection gripping manipulator can be used.
2. What is the degree of freedom (number of axes) of the robot equipment? Industrial robots generally have four, six, seven or even higher axes. If you want to prevent it from one position horizontally or vertically to another position, then Four-axis robots can basically meet the requirements, such as grabbing, palletizing, and handling items, you can choose four-axis robots such as grabbing robots, handling robots, and palletizing robots. If it is used in a relatively narrow or small job that requires multiple flips and rotations of the robot arm, a six-axis or even higher degree of freedom robot should be selected. Such as irregular cutting of auto parts, choose a cutting robot, injection molding machine loading and unloading, you can choose loading and unloading robots, etc. Robots have different degrees of freedom, and their robot quotations are different. For example, the price of welding robots used in the welding industry, if the cost allows, equipment with higher degrees of freedom has higher flexibility. In subsequent changes to robot applications, materials, or reprogramming, the risk of insufficient number of axes will also decrease.
3. What is the effective load of the robot equipment: What is the maximum load that the robot can carry in the workspace.
4. What is the maximum application range of the robot: What is the maximum working distance that the robot needs to reach in the application. When choosing a robot application range, you also need to consider how big its payload is.
5. What is the repeat accuracy of the robot equipment: The repeat accuracy requirements of industrial robot equipment with different applications and different functions are different, and the accuracy of welding robots is higher. Spraying. The accuracy of the robot is generally lower. The accuracy requirements are generally ±0.05---±0.02mm, or even higher accuracy. Everyone chooses equipment according to their actual needs.
