Taiwan's first domestically seven-axis robot arm appeared to current wisdom Automation & Robotics exhibition. Automated production lines currently on the market are mostly single machine robot arm, but there are many machine manufacturers have begun to people dexterous hands for the concept of human development arm robot, in order to create smarter of industrial automation production line; the current arms Robot Development center in Germany, mainly in Japan, but the Foundation Precision Machinery Research and Development Center has developed China's first seven-axis robot arms prototype stage can help Taiwan build 3C electronics manufacturing industry production tool and to narrow the technology gap between home and abroad.
Precision Machinery Research and Development Center of Wisdom Systems Development Team Leader Xiaoren Zhong said robot arm is expected to become an important future role in industrial automation production line, Japan, Germany and other manufacturers are actively developing robot manufacturer, while Taiwan's first industrial use seven-axis robot arm is finally unveiled.
Foundation Precision Machinery Research and Development Center of Wisdom Systems Development Team Leader Xiaoren Zhong said that just as the robot arms with flexible hands humanity in general, only one controller, you can make your arms synchronized action to achieve good, trajectory Flexible purpose, and thus has a high elastic operating space, more to overcome the multi-branch-arm robot production line easily interfere with each other, the problem of collisions. In addition, since the robot arms can assist each other, can also reduce the number of production line assembly fixture, a revolutionary impact on the future of the industry will Zhidong.
Xiaoren Zhong further noted that the robot arm is particularly suitable for 3C electronic and other "light duty" in parts assembly production line. In fact, a small amount, diversity, customized production has become a trend in mobile phones and other 3C product line holds many lessons, so that the robot can be easily disassembled to be demand, rapid changeover to meet those needs; and because of the independence of the robot arms high, not require specific assembly line fixtures and match, so when changes in the production line, only to be replaced at the end of the robot single fixture can be extremely high flexibility.
In fact, application and development of robot arms is still in its infancy on the market, the biggest challenge is the synchronization and coordination between the two arms of the machine, such as a robotic arm when one picked up a zero component, another branch robotic arm can move to the same X, Y, Z axis of the intersection, and collaborate assembly operations.
Xiaoren Zhong expected, is bound to set off a wave of robot arms import on the market in the future; and now the market is mainly into the development of the robot arms manufacturers are ABB, KUKA (KUKA), Yaskawa Electric (YASKAWA), Kawada Industries and Japanese Fujikoshi Among them Yaskawa Electric and Kawada Industries of technology is more skillful.
It is noteworthy that, this time in Taiwan wisdom Automation & Robotics exhibition, Foundation Precision Machinery Research and Development Center also exhibited a seven-axis robot arms. Xiaoren Zhong said that this is Taiwan's first domestically-fourth axis industrial robot arms, not only represents a major breakthrough in Taiwan's robot industry, but also a symbol of Taiwan is gradually narrow the technology gap with Germany, Japan and other major powers advanced robotics.
It is understood that seven-axis robot arm-based display of the high-speed digital communications software robot controller technology, the software control technology was developed by Foundation Precision Machinery Research and Development Center developed for a PC-based full software control platform using EtherCAT interface, combined with real-time operating system (RTOS), so that engineers can write this program on your system and by the Industrial PC (IPC) central processing unit (CPU) operation, can break the old IPC shall be placed all kinds of shafts card and then drive concept robot control, reduce cost and size robot controller province, and increase the flexibility of robot design through software control.
