Relieve the urgency of production tasks
In the era of transformation and upgrading in the manufacturing industry, more and more enterprises are shifting their original production lines to automated and intelligent production lines, and have put forward new requirements for the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, perception ability, and human-machine cooperation of robots in applications. However, traditional industrial robots often cannot adapt to this change, and collaborative robots that are more adaptable to flexible manufacturing have emerged.
FANUC has developed CRX series "industrial" collaboration robots with the characteristics of expandability, convenient mobility, higher flexibility, and greater flexibility by virtue of its rich knowledge of the industrial automation industry and its own keen market perception to help users cope with the changing production mode. According to different task requirements, the CRX series "industrial" collaborative robots can flexibly switch between collaborative mode and high-speed mode, and achieve precise positioning, intelligent recognition, and fine force control through visual systems and external force detection systems, achieving high-quality packaging, disassembly/stacking, transportation, assembly, welding, testing, and other operations.
Enterprise employment will never be "scarce"
CRX series "industrial" cooperative robots can assist field workers to complete various complex production tasks and solve the problems of difficult recruitment and high cost in manufacturing enterprises. First, it follows the fine tradition of FANUC industrial robots, has high reliability and safety, and can share working space with field workers. Secondly, it has high speed and precision. The combination of AC servo motor and harmonic reducer makes the response speed of starting, accelerating, and braking faster, and the repeated positioning accuracy higher. Once again, it has high flexibility and collaboration, especially suitable for application scenarios such as project renovation and limited space, and supports rich process software packages. Finally, it has high cost-effectiveness, a non integrated joint structure design that supports individual component replacement, as well as a 2-year warranty and 8-year maintenance free.
As a powerful assistant for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and an effective way for enterprises to solve the "labor shortage", collaborative robots have reached a critical moment of transition from quantitative to qualitative change.
Let's take a closer look at the specific effects that CRX series "industrial" collaborative robots can bring in practical applications by combining the typical doubts and answers raised by users during the promotion and application of several groups of FANUC collaborative robots.
Q&A
Q1: Will collaborative robots slow down production efficiency compared to industrial robots?
A1: In terms of linear speed, the maximum speed of collaborative robots is 2m/s, and some industrial robots can reach a maximum speed of 3-4m/s. Collaborative robots do not have significant advantages; But the flexible range of motion and on-site installation method of collaborative robots can make up for the gap in overall application rhythm.
Q2: Will collaborative robots replace industrial robots in the future?
A2: Cooperative robots are a supplement to existing automation solutions. FANUC provides users with professional robot selection reference according to different scenarios, processes, environments and other factors. For projects with fixed product models, large batch quantities, and ample project space, it is recommended to use industrial robots; For automated layouts with high degree of product customization, small batches and multiple varieties, and dense personnel, it is recommended to use collaborative robots.
Q3: Can FANUC collaborative robots be used in harsh environment scenarios such as welding?
A3: FANUC cooperative robots have the same IP67 protection level as industrial robots, and can also cope with harsh environmental scenarios such as welding. At the same time, FANUC collaborative robot has built-in professional welding software functions such as multi-layer and multi-channel, contact location, arc tracking, etc., and can quickly complete the identification and teaching of welds by manual traction, laser location finding, etc., which has more advantages in welding applications.
Q4: When the FANUC cooperative robot runs at the maximum speed of 2m/s, can it guarantee safety?
A4: FANUC cooperative robot has two motion modes - cooperation mode and high-speed mode. The maximum speed in high-speed mode is 2m/s, and the maximum speed in cooperation mode is 1m/s. In practical applications, users will determine the motion mode and running speed of collaborative robots based on factors such as on-site production technology, personnel density, and protective safety strategies.
