Clarify production requirements
*Product types and sizes *: Electronic and electrical products are diverse, such as mobile phones, computers, televisions, etc., and their component sizes vary. For small components such as phone buttons and chip pins, it is suitable to choose robots with small arm span and high precision for precise operation in small spaces; Larger sized stamped parts such as computer cases and large electronic device casings require robots with larger arm spans to complete handling and stamping tasks.
*Batch production: During large-scale production, robots are required to have high speed, high efficiency, and stability to ensure continuous operation of the production line and increase output; The small batch and multi variety production mode requires robots to have strong flexibility and fast programming ability, which can switch production tasks of different products in a short time, reduce equipment idle time, and lower production costs.
Consider robot performance
*Load capacity: Electronic and electrical components are mostly lightweight, but there are also heavier components such as transformer cores and large circuit boards. Robots with a general load of 10-50kg can meet the needs of stamping production for most electronic and electrical components. For example, a stamping production line for producing computer cases may require robots with a load capacity of 30-50kg; For the stamping of components for small electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets, robots with a load of 10-20kg are usually sufficient.
*Accuracy requirements: The electronic and electrical industry has extremely high requirements for component accuracy. The repeated positioning accuracy of stamping robots should be controlled within ± 0.1mm - ± 0.5mm to ensure accurate dimensions and stable quality of stamped components, which can meet the assembly requirements of electronic devices. For example, when producing high-precision components such as mobile phone buttons and connectors, robots need to have extremely high precision to ensure product consistency and reliability, and prevent assembly problems caused by dimensional deviations.
*Movement speed *: Production efficiency is one of the key concerns for enterprises, and the movement speed of robots directly affects the production rhythm. On the premise of ensuring accuracy and safety, robots with faster movement speed should be selected to improve production efficiency. However, it should be noted that the movement speed of robots of different brands and models may vary, and comprehensive consideration is needed.
*Degrees of Freedom: The more degrees of freedom a robot has, the higher its flexibility and the more complex the actions it can complete. For stamping production in the electronic and electrical industry, a 4-6 axis robot is generally sufficient to meet most production needs. 4-axis robots have a simple structure and low cost, suitable for some simple stamping operations; 6-axis robots have higher flexibility and adaptability, and can complete more complex actions such as flipping, tilting, etc., but the cost is relatively high.
*Brand and reputation: Choosing a well-known brand of stamping robot usually ensures better quality and after-sales service. You can learn about the reputation and market share of different brands of robots by consulting industry reports, consulting with other enterprise users, and viewing online reviews, in order to make more informed choices
*Service life*: The service life of stamping robots is also an important consideration factor. Generally speaking, high-quality robots can have a lifespan of 8-10 years or even longer under normal use and maintenance conditions. When choosing a robot, it is possible to understand the quality and performance of its key components, as well as the warranty period provided by the manufacturer, in order to evaluate its service life
*Fault repair*: Robots are inevitably prone to malfunctions during use, so it is necessary to consider the difficulty and cost of repairing their faults. Choose a manufacturer with a good after-sales service system that can provide timely technical support and maintenance services, reduce equipment downtime, and lower maintenance costs. In addition, some robots also have fault diagnosis and warning functions, which can help users discover and solve problems in a timely manner, and improve the reliability of production.
Consider compatibility and scalability
*Compatibility with other devices: Stamping production lines in the electronics and electrical industry typically include punching machines, molds, feeders, and other equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to choose stamping robots that have good compatibility with existing equipment to ensure that the entire production line can work together and achieve automated production. When choosing a robot, it is necessary to understand whether its communication interface, control mode, etc. are compatible with existing equipment, and whether it can be easily integrated into the system
*Scalability: With the development of the enterprise and changes in production needs, it may be necessary to upgrade and expand the stamping production line. Therefore, when choosing robots, it is necessary to consider their scalability, whether they can easily add new functional modules, increase the number of robots, or integrate with other automation equipment to meet future production needs.
Emphasize safety and maintainability
*Safety performance: There is a certain degree of danger in the stamping production process, so the safety performance of robots is crucial. Choosing robots with comprehensive safety protection functions, such as light curtain sensors, emergency stop buttons, safety door locks, etc., can effectively prevent operators from being injured and ensure the safety of the production process
*Maintenance*: The maintenance of robots is also a key factor affecting their long-term stable operation. Choosing robots with simple structures and easy maintenance can reduce maintenance costs and difficulties. At the same time, it is also very important to understand the maintenance manuals and training services provided by the manufacturer, as well as the supply of required maintenance tools and spare parts
