In terms of technological trends
Continuous improvement in automation and intelligence:
1. It can achieve more complex automation operations in the injection molding process, from taking out injection molded parts, quality inspection, subsequent processing (such as deburring, secondary processing, etc.) to precise classification and palletizing, and a series of actions can be carried out in a coherent manner.
The application of intelligent algorithms enables robotic arms to automatically adjust action parameters and optimize path planning based on production data and environmental changes.
3. It has self diagnosis and maintenance prompt functions to reduce downtime caused by faults.
High precision and high speed:
1. Further improve the precision of movements to meet the production and processing needs of more precise injection molded products, such as medical and electronic precision components.
2. Accelerate the movement speed, improve production rhythm and overall production efficiency.
Enhanced perceptual ability:
1. Equipped with more advanced visual systems to achieve high-precision product recognition, positioning, defect detection, etc., not limited to recognizing two-dimensional images, but also capable of conducting three-dimensional detection and analysis.
2. Integrating multi-sensor technologies such as tactile sensation to better adapt to grasping injection molded parts of different shapes, materials, and surface characteristics, ensuring stability and reliability of grasping.
Collaborative development:
1. Collaborate more safely and efficiently with human workers in the same space. For example, in some processes that require manual adjustment or complex judgment, the robotic arm and workers can cooperate with each other.
2. The collaboration between other devices (such as injection molding machines, peripheral automation equipment, industrial robots, etc.) is closer and smoother, achieving seamless integration of the entire production system.
Design and Manufacturing Trends
Miniaturization and lightweighting:
Adapt to injection molding production sites with limited space, while reducing energy consumption and the requirements for the load-bearing capacity of injection molding machines.
Modularization and standardization:
1. Manufacturers produce standardized modules, which facilitate customers to quickly customize and assemble robotic arm systems according to their own needs, shorten delivery cycles, and reduce costs.
2. It is beneficial for later maintenance and component replacement.
Green and environmentally friendly:
1. Pay attention to the application of environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving processes in the production and manufacturing process.
2. Optimize energy management and reduce energy consumption during operation.
Market and application trends
The market size continues to expand:
With the continuous development of the global manufacturing industry, especially in emerging markets, the demand for injection molding robots is constantly increasing.
The demand for upgrading injection molding robots will also drive market development.
Expansion of application areas:
In addition to traditional fields such as automobiles, 3C electronics, home appliances, packaging, and healthcare, emerging fields such as aerospace, new energy (such as battery shell injection molding production), and smart wearables will gradually expand their applications.
In areas where labor-intensive industries are concentrated, such as Southeast Asia, injection molding robots will be more widely used with industrial upgrading.
Industry competition trends
Industry consolidation acceleration:
1. Advantageous enterprises expand their scale and market share through mergers and acquisitions, and increase industry concentration.
2. The cooperation and integration between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain are closer, forming a more competitive industrial ecosystem.
Service oriented transformation:
1. It's not just about equipment sales, suppliers provide full process services such as pre-sales consulting and planning, installation and debugging during sales, and after-sales maintenance and upgrades.
2. Based on technologies such as big data and cloud platforms, provide customers with value-added services such as remote operation and maintenance, process optimization, etc.
Talent demand trend
1. There is an increasing demand for composite talents who possess knowledge in multiple disciplines such as mechanics, automation, injection molding processes, and software programming.
2. The skill training and re education market for equipment operation and maintenance personnel will also develop accordingly.
