ABB six-axis robots, with their high flexibility, high precision and strong load capacity, have a wide range of applications in multiple industries. The following is a detailed introduction from three major aspects of industrial manufacturing, logistics warehousing, and special working environment:
1. Industrial manufacturing
Automobile manufacturing
Welding operations: In automotive body manufacturing, ABB's six-axis robots perform spot and arc welding tasks with precision. For example, in the body welding process, the robot can quickly and accurately weld each body part together according to the preset program, and the repeated positioning accuracy can reach ±0.05mm, which ensures the consistency of welding quality, greatly improves the production efficiency and welding quality, and reduces the errors and defects that may be caused by manual welding.
Spraying operation: can achieve uniform, high quality spraying effect. The robot can automatically adjust the spraying Angle and speed according to the shape and size of the body to ensure that the paint is evenly covered on the surface of the body, which not only improves the spraying quality, but also reduces the waste of paint and pollution to the environment. At the same time, the robot can work continuously in the harsh spraying environment, avoiding the health hazards that may be caused by manual operation.
Assembly operations: In the automotive parts assembly process, ABB six-axis robots can complete a variety of fine assembly tasks, such as the installation of engine parts, instrument panels, etc. Its flexible joint design allows it to easily reach tight Spaces for precise operation, improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.
Electronic manufacturing
Chip packaging: In the process of electronic chip packaging, the precision and operating environment requirements are extremely high. ABB's six-axis robot can precisely place the chip on the substrate in a clean room environment and perform micro-operations such as welding and lead bonding. Its high-precision motion control and stable performance ensure the quality and reliability of the chip package, and improve production efficiency and product yield.
2. Logistics and warehousing
Cargo handling
Palletizing: In logistics warehouses, ABB six-axis robots can neatly stack goods of different shapes and sizes on pallets. Its strong load capacity and flexible range of motion enable it to quickly adapt to the handling needs of various goods, improve palletizing efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity. For example, in the food, beverage and other industries, robots can place packaged products on pallets in accordance with the specified number of layers and arrangement, which is convenient for subsequent storage and transportation.
Unpalletizing operation: Corresponding to the palletizing operation, the robot can also remove the goods on the pallet one by one and place them in accordance with the specified position. In the automated logistics system, the depalletizing robot can be used in conjunction with the conveyor line, AGV (automatic guided vehicle) and other equipment to achieve rapid sorting and circulation of goods.
Sorting operation
Express sorting: In the express industry, ABB six-axis robots can quickly and accurately identify information on express packages, such as recipient address, tracking number, etc., through visual recognition systems, and sort packages to different areas or delivery lines according to preset rules. Its high-speed and efficient sorting capacity greatly improves the efficiency of express delivery processing and reduces the errors and delays that may occur in manual sorting.
3. Special working environment
Nuclear industry
Equipment maintenance: In the nuclear industry environment such as nuclear power plants, there are dangers such as radioactive contamination. ABB six-axis robots can replace manual inspection, maintenance and repair of equipment. For example, the pressure vessel, pipeline and other equipment of the nuclear reactor are regularly inspected, and the potential problems of the equipment are found in time through various sensors and detection equipment, and simple maintenance operations are carried out to reduce the risk of exposure to radioactive environment.
Nuclear waste disposal: In the process of disposing of nuclear waste, the robot can complete the tasks of grasping, transporting and storing the waste. Its sealed design and remote control function ensure the safety of operators and avoid the harm of nuclear waste to the environment and personnel.
Space exploration
Satellite assembly: In the satellite manufacturing process, ABB's six-axis robots can assemble satellite parts in a clean, precise environment. Its high-precision motion control and stable performance can meet the strict requirements for precision and quality of satellite assembly, and improve the manufacturing efficiency and reliability of satellites.
