Will industrial robots be a "dark horse" rushing out?
On February 28, 2023, the National Bureau of Statistics issued the "Statistical Bulletin of the People's Republic of China on National Economic and Social Development in 2022". According to preliminary calculations, the output of industrial robots in 2022 will be 443,000 sets, an increase of 21.0% over the previous year. This shows that the industrial robot industry is booming.
Industrial robots are widely used in industrial manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, electrical appliances, food, etc., and can replace repeated mechanical manipulation tasks. They are machines that realize various functions by their own power and control ability. It can accept human command, and it can also operate according to pre-programmed programs.
A brief analysis of the five main components of industrial robots, industrial robots are mainly composed of controllers, sensors, motor equipment, end effectors, and robot arms. These components work together to complete various tasks.
1. The role of the controller is very important. It is mainly the central operating system that controls the work of the parts of the industrial robot. It is programmed with software that enables it to receive, interpret and execute commands.
2. Sensors in industrial robots are devices that detect or measure specific parameters and trigger corresponding responses to them. They are embedded in industrial robot structures for safety and control purposes. Safety sensors are used to detect obstacles to prevent industrial robots from colliding with other machinery. On the other hand, control sensors are used to receive cues from an external controller, which the robot then executes.
3. End effector is a general term that includes all devices that can be mounted on the wrist of an industrial robot. End effectors make robotic arms more dexterous, making industrial robots better suited for specific tasks.
4. A robotic arm is a part of an industrial robot used to perform tasks. Its structure is similar to that of a human arm, consisting of a shoulder, elbow and wrist. The shoulder is the part of the mechanical arm connected to the industrial robot host. The elbow is the jointed part of the arm that bends when moving, while the wrist is the end of the arm that performs the actual task.
5. Components such as robotic arms need to be equipped with motors to facilitate movement. It features linear and rotary actuators powered by electric, hydraulic or pneumatic energy. As actuators move at high speeds, they push and rotate robotic parts to create motion.
From the perspective of the development of industrial robots, human-machine collaboration, more intelligence, and autonomy are the future trends, and the supporting parts for industrial robots will be more perfect.
