Before industrial robots brought vitality to the automotive industry, the application scope of industrial robot technology in the manufacturing industry has become wider and wider in the world. It has been extended from traditional manufacturing industry to other manufacturing industries, and then to various non manufacturing industries. However, the automotive industry is still the main application field of industrial robots. It is understood that% of industrial robots in the United States are used in automobile production; Industrial robots used in the automotive industry in the world have reached 37% of the total consumption, and industrial robots used in automotive parts account for about 24%.
In China, the initial application of industrial robot is in automobile and construction machinery industry, mainly used for spraying and welding of automobile and construction machinery. At present, due to the backwardness of robot technology and R & D, industrial robots are mainly used in manufacturing and less in non manufacturing. According to statistics, in recent years, more than half of the industrial robots produced by domestic manufacturers are provided to the automotive industry. It can be seen that the development of automobile industry is one of the driving forces for the growth of industrial robots in China in recent years.
At the same time, in the "notice on organizing and implementing the development of intelligent manufacturing equipment" issued by the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of finance, the Ministry of industry and information technology and other ministries and commissions, according to the current situation of the development of intelligent manufacturing equipment in China, the "special" will focus on supporting the research and development of intelligent complete sets of equipment and key intelligent components required in automobile manufacturing and other fields, In the near future, it will focus on promoting the application of industrial robots and key intelligent components, such as robot automobile welding automation production line related to automobile, digital workshop and intelligent logistics system. Among the new national major technical equipment projects with demand as the traction, process as the guide, emphasis on user participation and finally aiming at the industrialization and transformation results, there are as many as one project related to automobile equipment, accounting for more than one fifth of the total projects.
Nowadays, with the development of China's automobile industry and the continuous improvement of the requirements for automation level, it will provide a good opportunity for the rapid growth of the robot market. From the development trend of robot technology, industrial robots continue to develop in the direction of intelligence, and fully realize the group coordination and integrated control of robots in the production system, so as to achieve higher reliability and safety. The automobile production enterprises using industrial robots will not only obtain high-speed development under the conditions of high technology, high quality and low cost, but also bring new vitality to the development of automobile industry.
