The goal of "Made in China 2025" is to seize a new round of industrial commanding heights, and intelligent manufacturing is the main direction. China's intellectual production requires robots. The automobile industry is a large robot user. It is closely related to industrial robots. Not only does it require robots for smart manufacturing, but many auto parts companies have also been involved in robot production. In order to comprehensively sort out the development of robots in the automotive industry, this newspaper specially planned a series of reports on "Robots lead the car intelligent manufacturing".

“In 2014, the total sales of industrial robots in the world was 250,000 units, and the sales volume in the Chinese market was 57,000 units, ranking first in the world. The Chinese robot market is expected to increase steadily in the future.†Zhang Zhenkui, Marketing Manager of Shanghai Xinshida Robotics Co., Ltd. accepted In an interview with our reporter, the use of industrial robots is concentrated in the automotive industry. From a global perspective, the automotive industry accounts for about 40% of industrial robots; in China, it accounts for 70%.
Under the constraints of core technology, it is difficult for industrial robots developed and manufactured by Chinese enterprises to enter the whole vehicle enterprise. At present, 90% of the automobile market is divided by Japanese Yaskawa, FANUC, Kawasaki, Hyundai, Ropstar, Alpa, European ABB, German KUKA, Italian Coma and other well-known foreign companies. .
■“Four Big Family†Leading the Frontier Technology At present, ABB, FANUC, Yaskawa, and KUKA are the “Four Big Family†in the industrial robot industry, and occupy an important position. The product performance and precision represent the world's leading level.
ABB is recognized worldwide as the world's leading robotics company, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Brose, Faurecia, Huizhong and many other global automotive and component companies. “Now it is possible to manufacture 6 models, with an average of 1 vehicle down the line in 1 minute.†Liang Rui, general manager of the robotics and application department of Shanghai ABB Engineering Co., Ltd., said that ABB has been able to help the car workshop achieve 90% automation, only 10 % needs to rely on manpower. It is understood that ABB currently provides Changan Ford with the latest flexible body assembly positioning system, which can realize the manufacturing of the same production line of the six models, achieving 18 seconds of fast switching.
Not only is technology leading, but also innovative, as a result, FANUC has maintained the top three positions in the world. The FANUC robot has a long-standing reputation in the fields of automotive welding, stamping, and final assembly. It is reported that FANUC is the only company in the world that uses robots to make robots. The only robot company that provides integrated vision systems is the only company in the world that provides both intelligent robots and intelligent machines. “The arc spot welder is the advantage product of Yaskawa, and many auto parts companies are our customers.†Yagawa Electric (China) Co., Ltd., the head of the business department of the robot business department, told reporters that Yaskawa is active in automobiles, machinery and motors. In various industrial sectors, it accounts for 20% of China's market.
Volkswagen's robots come from KUKA, Germany, because their robots have a PCBASED control system that can operate under the Microsoft Windows interface. This system, along with standardized PC hardware, and simple planning and setup, makes MTBF (mean fault) Interval time) over 75,000 hours. KUKA products not only have the rigor of German industry, but also are recognized by Volkswagen, and there are also fashion elements. It is reported that in 2013, KUKA passed the Tesla audit, and this year it also provided robots for the Volkswagen automatic fast charging system.
Although the Japanese OTC is not the same as the top four, it has a certain reputation in the field of welding. Yue Feng, director of robot sales at Xihe Electromechanical (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., said: "OTC is the world's third largest welding robot company, providing customers with high-performance welding services. OTC's welding systems represent the world's leading technology."
Hyundai, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Denso and many other auto and parts companies have also made achievements in the field of robot manufacturing. For example, Denso is known for producing small assembly robots. Liang Zhizhi, executive director of Denso's executive director and control system division, said that higher precision requirements and flexible requirements may be an important direction for future automotive robot applications.
â– Self-owned enterprises: “No one fully masters core technologiesâ€
The autonomous robot body technology is developing, but the limitations are key components. "China does not have completely independent research and development of robots, RV reducer, harmonic reducer, servo motor and drive, controller and other core components technology, independent enterprises can only achieve partial localization." Zhongke Xinsong Co., Ltd. Marketing Center Sales engineer Xu Xiaogang told reporters that although some robots claim to be self-developed, their core components are imported more or less.
With the support of national strategy, China's robot market is booming. Among nearly a thousand robot manufacturers, newcomers such as Shenyang Xinsong, Anhui Eft, Guangzhou NC, and Xinshida have begun to take the lead. Due to the high requirements of the car for the consistency and precision of the robot, the current share of autonomous robots in the automotive market is less than 5%. For autonomous robots to develop solidly, it is necessary to gradually break through key component technologies. "There are no more than 10 companies that can really make robots. Each has its own focus. In fact, there is no competition." Zhang Zhenkui told reporters that Xinshida and Eston mainly push welding robots. Xinsong specializes in transportation robots, CNC and The wide number of motors starting is in the basic stage. It is worth noting that the assembly robot is the world of foreign brands. “Being a good robot, you have the right to speak in the market.†Li Boji, assistant general manager of Guangzhou CNC Equipment Co., Ltd., said that Guangzhou CNC has just entered the automobile and parts market and is supporting four large robots for the automobile stamping. Xinsong was founded in 1999 with the strength of AGV and peripheral integration project capabilities. At present, AGV products have strong comprehensive competitiveness and are listed as key procurement targets by internationally renowned companies such as GM. Xu Xiaogang said that as a leading enterprise in domestic robots, we will use the technical strength of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to make the key components of the robot gradually localized.
