Industrial robots are robots capable of automatically performing various industrial tasks. Their use not only liberates workers from heavy or harmful manual labor, addressing current labor shortages, but also improves production efficiency and product quality, enhancing overall enterprise competitiveness. They are widely applied in various industrial production processes, such as welding, machining, handling, assembly, sorting, and painting. In China, 60% of industrial robots are used in the automotive manufacturing industry, with over 50% being welding robots. In developed countries, automotive industrial robots account for over 53% of the total robot fleet. I. Automotive Manufacturing Statistics show that robots used in the global automotive industry account for 37% of the total, with approximately 24% used for automotive parts. In developed countries, over 60% of industrial robots are used in the automotive manufacturing industry, and in China, the automotive industry uses over 50%, representing a significant portion. With the continuous development and improvement of robot technology, the application of industrial robots effectively ensures the needs of industrial automation and flexibility, being widely applied in different production stages. They can also replace humans in harsh environments such as low temperatures, high temperatures, and toxic substances, ensuring product quality, improving production efficiency, and greatly promoting the development of the automotive manufacturing industry. Industrial robots consist of robotic arms, spindles, cutting tools, and other tools that facilitate production. Kasite utilizes high-speed electric spindles from Germany in its industrial robots, providing solutions for cutting, drilling, milling, and flexible floating deburring of metal (aluminum alloy, stainless steel, cast iron, etc.) and non-metal (ABS, SMC, carbon fiber, etc.) automotive parts, with significant results and high efficiency.

II. Electrical and Electronic Industries: The electrical and electronic industry accounts for approximately 30% of global industrial robot sales, making it the second largest user of industrial robots after the automotive and auto parts industries. In 2017, sales of industrial robots for the electrical/electronic industry increased by 65%, and the demand for industrial robots in this industry is expected to continue to grow in the future. Furthermore, semiconductor and chip manufacturers are continuously increasing their investment in automation, with large battery production facilities being installed to meet the growing demand for pure electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The rapid expansion of finished electrical and electronic products, coupled with the increasing demands on process equipment due to the trend towards product refinement and thinner designs, makes the replacement of manual labor by industrial robots an inevitable trend, enabling the automation and intelligent upgrading of production lines, reducing per capita costs, and improving production efficiency. Specific applications in the electrical and electronic manufacturing industry currently include manufacturing processes with significant demand for motion control products and systems, such as: 3C electronic products; PCB board production and assembly; metal and non-metal processing (e.g., milling, polishing, deburring); non-standard equipment; production assembly lines; and material handling and loading/unloading equipment. Kasite offers a variety of spindles that can be mounted on industrial robots for milling, polishing, deburring, and other processing of metal and non-metal components for electronic products.

III. Metal Processing Industry The metal industry is one of the most important industries, with a wide variety of metals widely used across various sectors. For metal processing techniques, such as cutting, milling, engraving, drilling, chamfering, polishing, and deburring of metals (stainless steel, aluminum alloys, cast iron, magnesium alloys, copper, chromium, titanium alloys, etc.), industrial robot automation solutions perfectly solve these problems. The modular structural design, flexible control system, and pre-packaged application packages of robot systems provide a relatively low-cost processing solution for producing metal products.
