The primary industrial applications of six-dimensional force sensors are assembly and grinding. Grinding is a field where robots are widely used. Based on the current market situation, the 3C industry, which has high requirements for grinding precision, is particularly affected. However, the 3C industry is highly labor-intensive, making automation a necessity. Furthermore, the 3C industry's need for greater flexibility necessitates a more intelligent grinding robot to better meet market demands.
(Six-dimensional force sensor)
Although six-dimensional force sensors can achieve six degrees of freedom in robots, improving the level of robot intelligence, their use in the industrial market is not very optimistic, especially in the domestic market, where there are not many grinding robot products using six-dimensional force sensors.
Currently, floating spindles are the most commonly used method for single-dimensional force control. There are two main reasons for this:
1. In industries where the requirements for precision grinding are not high, current force sensors can meet the needs of the grinding process, and companies are unwilling to spend more money to purchase grinding equipment equipped with six-dimensional force sensors;
2. Currently, the price of six-dimensional force sensors is relatively high, and the cost of upgrading projects is also high.
With the arrival of the 5G era, this round of innovation stems from breakthroughs in next-generation information technology, changes in market demand, and strong policy support. Therefore, the manufacturing industry must integrate new technologies to transform and upgrade to a new level.
With the strong support of big data and the Internet of Things, the entire industrial processing and manufacturing industry chain will become increasingly refined, and "flexibility" will become the competitive advantage of future industrial processing and manufacturing.
