With the industrial transfer and upgrading, the implementation of the new labor contract law, the
rising cost of living in cities brought about by the transformation of economic structure, and the
difficulty and mobility of staff management in the post-1980s and post-1990s, PCB manufacturers are facing
more and more serious challenges of labor shortage and rising labor costs, as well as the consequent
challenges to production planning. The impact of planning, product quality and profitability. At the same
time, with the improvement of robot performance and the decrease of price, replacing the traditional
production mode of "automation equipment + industrial robot operation" with "automation equipment + manual
operation" will become the trend of PCB industry transformation and development.
Types and characteristics of industrial robots
Industrial robot is a kind of multi-functional and multi-degree-of-freedom Mechatronics automatic
mechanical equipment and system which can complete some operation tasks in the manufacturing process
through repetitive programming and automatic control. It can form single or multi-machine automation
system by combining the main machine or production line. It can be carried out without anyone's
participation. Welding, sorting, assembly and spraying and other production operations.
Since the first generation of robots came out in the United States in the early 1960s, the development
and application of industrial robots have developed rapidly, and they have been widely used in production.
They have become an important highly automated equipment in modern manufacturing industry.
Industrial robots are mainly composed of body (including mechanical trunk part, motor, reducer) and
control (including drive and control system). Its function is to use the end-effector instead of hand to
grasp objects or tools to complete different tasks. At present, there are three main types of industrial
robots, including SCARA (four-axis parallel joint robot), DELTA (parallel robot) and six-axis multi-joint
robot (including multi-joint robot with more than six axes and derivative dual-arm robot).
The most remarkable characteristics of industrial robots can be summarized as follows:
1. Programmable. The further development of production automation is flexible automation. Industrial
