Will large loads of co-robots become a trend?
Date：2020-07-31
Co-robots have their unique advantages, but their shortcomings are also obvious: To ensure the safety of robots, co-robots are generally required to have the characteristics of low weight and low power consumption. This directly leads to slow running speed of co-robots, usually only traditional industrial robots. One-third or one-half of that.
Most co-robots are small in size, and their payload is generally below 10kg, which is equivalent to the working range of a human arm and cannot be used in many situations. However, judging from the release of new products launched by domestic and foreign co-robot manufacturers in 2019, we can find a new phenomenon: co-robots are developing in the direction of large loads and large working ranges.
According to incomplete statistics, in 2019, co-robot manufacturers promoted some enterprises with a payload greater than 10kg:
From Techrobots(Shenzhen) 1.5kg simple collaborative manipulator to TB6 series 20kg co-robot, and then to Comau co-robot with a large load of 110kg or more, people can't help but start to think about how much suitable the final co-robot load is. ?
As co-robots with a load of less than 10 kg become increasingly "homogenized", the newly launched co-robots with a load of 10 kg-20 kg in 2019 not only enrich the products of major co-robot manufacturers, but also make The application field of co-robots has greater coverage. Does this indicate that large-load co-robots will be the focus of future development?
It can be said that the emergence of large-load co-robots is another subdivision of the co-robot market.
In auto parts, household appliances, food, logistics, construction and other industries, there will be 10~15kg and even heavier heavy parts, material handling, assembly, processing, and palletizing. In the application process, traditional industrial robots cannot realize easy-to-use, safe and flexible artificial power or cooperate with people to complete production tasks, while co-robots with a load of 10 kg and below cannot meet the requirements of high-load automatic processing.
For this kind of heavy material, the co-robot with heavy load and large reach has stronger working ability and larger working space, and has a greater advantage in the application field, which more effectively compensates for the work of light co-robots and traditional industrial robots. Gaps in the field.
