What are the common types of industrial robots?
In history, there are many types of industrial robots, such as Cartesian coordinate system robot, cylindrical coordinate system robot and so on. With the passage of time and the development of technology, the industrial robot products introduced by major manufacturers are mainly articulated robots (vertical joint robots), parallel robots and SCARA robots.
Parallel robot, mainly used for material handling, generally has three, four and six joint axes, which has the characteristics of simple structure, high speed, high positioning accuracy and small footprint. With machine vision, transmission line tracking and parallel robot, a very flexible material handling production line can be created.
SCARA robot, mainly used for material handling and assembly applications, generally has four joint axes, consisting of three rotation axes and one joint axis that moves up and down. It has the characteristics of flexible action, simple structure, high speed and high positioning accuracy.
Components of industrial robots
Most of the industrial robots used in modern industrial automation applications are still teaching and reproducing robots, which are usually composed of two basic parts: mechanical arms and electrical systems.
What’s the use of robots?
Robots have many functions, such as welding, handling, spraying, palletizing, cutting and so on. Take the industrial field as an example, robots can replace human beings to complete a variety of repetitive tasks. Wuxi Jinhongying introduces the functions of 7 kinds of robots in detail below:
1. Mobile robot: mobile robot is a type of industrial robot, which is controlled by computer and has the functions of movement, automatic navigation, multi-sensor control, network interaction and so on. it can be widely used in machinery, electronics, textile, cigarette, medical, food, paper and other industries, such as flexible handling, transmission and other functions, but also used in automated three-dimensional warehouse, flexible processing system, flexible assembly system.
2. Spot welding robot: the welding robot has the characteristics of stable performance, large workspace, fast movement speed and strong load capacity, and the welding quality is obviously better than manual welding, which greatly improves the productivity of spot welding.
3. Arc welding robot: arc welding robot is mainly used in the welding production of all kinds of automobile parts. In this field, international large-scale industrial robot manufacturers mainly provide unit products to complete equipment suppliers.
4. Laser processing robot: laser processing robot applies robot technology to laser processing, and realizes more flexible laser processing through high-precision industrial robot. The system can be operated online through the teaching box, and can also be programmed off-line.
5. Palletizing robot: palletizing robot is an industrial robot engaged in palletizing. Objects that have been loaded into containers are placed on pallets and pallets (wood and plastic) according to a certain arrangement, which can be stacked automatically, which can be stacked in multiple layers, and then pushed out. It is convenient for forklifts to be transported to the warehouse for storage. Palletizing robot can be integrated in any production line to provide intelligent, robotic and networked production site, and can realize palletizing logistics for a variety of operations in beer, beverage and food industries. It is widely used in cartons, plastic boxes, bottles, bags, barrels, membrane packaging products and filling products.
6. Handling robot: the handling robot is an industrial robot that can carry out automatic handling operations. The handling robot can install different end-effectors to complete the work of handling workpieces of different shapes and states, which greatly reduces the heavy physical work of human beings. Its advantage is that it can complete a variety of expected tasks through programming, and has its own advantages of human and machine in its own structure and performance, especially reflecting artificial intelligence and adaptability.
7. Spraying robot: spraying robot, also known as painting robot, is an industrial robot that can spray paint or other paints automatically. Spray painting robot is mainly composed of robot body, computer and corresponding control system. Hydraulically driven painting robot also includes hydraulic oil sources, such as oil pump, fuel tank and motor. The painting robot is generally driven by hydraulic pressure, which has the characteristics of fast action speed and good explosion-proof performance. it can be taught by hand or point. Spray painting robot is widely used in automotive, instrumentation, electrical appliances, enamel and other process production departments. Due to the wide variety of robots, there must be many unexpected areas about the use of the robot industry.
What are the types of palletizers?
Automatic palletizer systems are generally divided into the following three categories:
High position palletizer

The high-position palletizer receives the palletizing products at a certain height or level above the pallet. Blank pallet from one
A silo or accumulation station goes down to the palletizer, where the machine stretches the pallet and positions it under a pallet; the product is loaded into a pallet and assembled into a layer or row.
The palletizer places the assembled product layer or product column on the pallet below them; then the palletizer continues to assemble the second layer of products, changing the arrangement format of the cartons to match the pallet format; after that, the pallet
And the first-tier product will go down one layer so that the second-tier product can be placed on the first-tier product. The pallet keeps falling.
Layer after layer of products continue to be high until the specified number is completed; the pallets then slowly descend to the ground level and are then transported to other sections by transporters or forklifts. Back and forth.

Middle and low position palletizer: the situation of middle and low position palletizer is similar to that of high position stacker. It’s just that the pallets on the middle and low position pallets do not need to be raised.
High and low, the product layer and product line are formed at a level close to the ground. Each layer of products is made on a tray.
After the shape, then lift it and place it on a fixed pallet. After that, the tray goes back to the starting point to load the next layer of products. Goods
After the tray is loaded, the palletizer unloads it, and another blank pallet replaces its original position, and so on.

Robotic palletizer: a robotic palletizer is often seen as a grab and placement system, which can be obtained from one or more locations.
Grab one or more cartons and place them in a pre-set location on the pallet. Basic computing power, plus
Sensors can be integrated to identify product changes, making the robot palletizer an intelligent system that can identify and distinguish a variety of products.
Products; a robot can automate multiple production lines, arranging the shipping ports of multiple production lines next to a robot station, and the robot can identify and process a variety of products; robot palletizing can also produce pallets of different sizes and shapes.
What factors need to be considered in the palletizing process?
The choice of warehouse has a great impact on the later operation of enterprises, and it is also the beginning of operation planning and layout. Many enterprises, especially those with rapid development, still rely on experience and feeling in choosing warehouse. The emphasis on immediate demand and the lack of long-term planning consciousness caused some limitations for the warehouse operation planning in the later stage.
Today, I would like to share with you several aspects that need to be considered in the location of the warehouse.
The location of the warehouse should follow three standards and two factors. First of all, let’s talk about the three criteria for warehouse location: basic standards, rigid standards, and room for appreciation.
First, the basic standards are the basic requirements for warehouse location. The more basic requirements are met, the more convenient the operation will be.
01
Transportation capacity
Warehouse logistics center must have convenient transportation conditions, preferably close to the transportation hub for layout. Close to the port, trunk road hub, railway marshalling yard or airport, there are more than two modes of transportation connected.
02
Surrounding public facilities
The location of the warehouse logistics center requires that the city’s roads, communications and other public facilities are complete, with adequate power supply, water, heat and gas capacity; the surrounding facilities can ensure the office and living problems of warehouse operators.
03
The warehouse is a flat layout.
The closer the warehouse is to the square, the better the layout, and the higher the operation efficiency. The storehouse needs to focus on the layout, the flow of goods upstairs and downstairs, as well as the renovation space of the storehouse.
04
Fire fighting facilities
The warehouse has fire-fighting facilities to meet the fire-fighting needs, and has the fire-fighting acceptance certificate of the fire department.
05
Requirements for warehouse posts
The columns in the reservoir had better be as few as possible, and the absolute parallelism of the columns should be ensured to facilitate the planning of the reservoir area and the rational use of the space in the reservoir area; parallel wire ropes should be drawn above the pillars to facilitate the suspension of lighting equipment at night.
Second, the rigid standard is the condition that must be met in the location of the warehouse, and only when these conditions are met can the warehouse have room for promotion.
1. Ground requirement
The ground should be hard, preferably epoxy floor, so as to facilitate the use of operating tools in the warehouse, reduce the production of dust and impurities, facilitate sanitary finishing and ensure the quality of the goods in the warehouse.
two。 Warehouse height
The warehouse should be high enough to facilitate the construction of shelves and guard against theft; to ensure the lighting of the warehouse, there should be lighting panels at the top and around the warehouse to facilitate daytime work and save money.
3. Support for network installation
4. Warehouse platform
The warehouse is preferably a circular platform, and the minimum requirements are bilateral platforms to facilitate the handling of goods; the height of the platform should be consistent with the height of the company’s vehicles to facilitate operation; the platform is equipped with rain-proof facilities to ensure the quality of goods handling.
5. The warehouse needs to have the relevant qualification certificate of business license and land use license.
Third, room for appreciation. Can the warehouse still have room for appreciation? The appreciation space mentioned here is not only the appreciation space of the real estate industry, but also depends on the availability of the warehouse.
What is palletizing in industry?
Palletizing: a machine for stacking objects.
The palletizer is to put the cartons that have been packed into containers on pallets and pallets (wood, plastic) according to a certain arrangement code, which can be stacked automatically, which can be stacked in multiple layers, and then pushed out to facilitate forklift transportation to the warehouse for storage. This equipment adopts PLC+ touch screen control to realize intelligent operation and management, which is simple and easy to master.
The labor force and labor intensity can be greatly reduced. The palletizer is the equipment in which the bags, cartons or other packaging materials transported by the conveyor are automatically stacked and transported according to the working mode required by the customer.
Extended data
Advantages of palletizing in industry:
1. Low box, less space, large production capacity
two。 The whole machine is controlled by PLC and runs automatically.
3. Suitable for a variety of stack types and bottle types, easy to adjust
4. Multiple security protection, can be controlled with touch screen
5. The use of high-quality conveyor chain sectional transmission, the output section can be arbitrarily lengthened
