I. Industrial robots can be used in the foundry and chemical industries.
(I) Foundry Industry
With its modular structural design, flexible control system, and dedicated application software, the robot can meet the highest requirements of automation applications across the entire foundry industry. It is not only waterproof but also dirt-resistant and heat-resistant.
It can even be used to remove workpieces directly next to, inside, and above the injection molding machine. Furthermore, it can reliably connect process units and production units. In addition, the robot performs exceptionally well in finishing operations such as deburring, grinding, or drilling, as well as in quality inspection.
(II) Chemical Industry
The chemical industry is one of the main application areas for industrial robots. Currently, the main cleanroom robots and automated equipment used in the chemical industry include atmospheric manipulators, vacuum manipulators, cleanroom coating manipulators, cleanroom AGVs, RGVs, and cleanroom logistics automated transport systems. Many modern industrial products require precision, miniaturization, high purity, high quality, and high reliability. A clean environment is essential for product manufacturing, and the level of cleanliness directly affects the product's yield. Cleanroom technology has continuously developed to meet increasingly stringent requirements for controlling pollutants in clean production environments, including control methods and facilities. Therefore, in the chemical field, as more chemical production sites demand increasingly higher levels of environmental cleanliness, cleanroom robots will be further utilized, thus possessing a vast market potential.
An automated palletizing and packing robot for synthetic rubber has been put into operation at Qilu Petrochemical Rubber Plant. For a long time, the plant relied on manual palletizing, which was not only labor-intensive but also physically demanding for employees. This robotic packing equipment can pack 600 pieces of synthetic rubber per hour, with a record of filling a box in 3 minutes. It can handle various types of international standard containers, saving 480,000 yuan in labor costs annually and enabling the reuse of the container system, reducing costs associated with utility construction and the degradation of plastic packaging bags.
II. How difficult is it to learn industrial robots?
Many people ask whether it is difficult to learn industrial robots. This question needs to be answered philosophically. The difficulty of a technology is relative and varies from person to person.
For someone completely new to the industry, with no prior knowledge, each part here might be challenging, as it's a field they've never encountered before. However, difficulty doesn't mean inability to learn. With effort and dedication, anyone can excel. We have examples of this: a student named Lin, who graduated from our industrial robot training center, originally studied humanities and had no prior knowledge of industrial robots. After two or three months of diligent study at our center, he is now working as an industrial robot application engineer at a company.
You mentioned that learning industrial robot technology is difficult for someone with no prior knowledge. Does that mean it's easy for someone with good PLC knowledge and experience? Not necessarily. Those with a foundation might pursue higher-level learning, such as designing automated production lines for industrial robots or project development. These require students to integrate and apply the various fragmented knowledge points they've learned, demanding a certain level of comprehensive ability. Therefore, this might be a challenge for them. If you can overcome this challenge, then you can become an industrial robot project development engineer.
The information on what you need to learn in industrial robot technology has been clearly explained. As for how difficult it is to learn, that depends on how much you can delve into it.
