If you want to give the machinery industry a character judgment, then be willing to forge ahead in loneliness, is the label for the machine tool manufacturing. However, in recent years, companies that were originally lonely have not started to play an industrial robot.
In the past machine tool exhibition, as long as the audience paid a little attention, the machine tool manufacturing enterprises involved in the robot had many new faces. For example, Dalian Guangyang Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. first launched two robots at the exhibition.
One of the robots is good at handling, the other is good at milling, and can carry out three-dimensional carving of wood and stone. According to Yu Dehai, chairman of Guangyang Technology, the robot manipulator can not only grab 166 kg or 210 kg of heavy objects, but also engraving and cutting stones, light aluminum and wood with an error of no more than 0.01 mm.
Cross-border advantage
Among domestic machine tool companies, Guangyang Technology is not the first manufacturer to intervene in the industrial robot market. Years ago, Guangzhou CNC Equipment Co., Ltd., a professional supplier of CNC systems, began to develop industrial robots in 2007. By 2010, it has entered the stage of small batch production.
At the machine tool exhibition, Guangzhou NC brought RJ05, RJ10, RJ20 machine tool loading and unloading three-axis robot and RB20 side-hanging robot unit, the former is suitable for car, milling and other machine tool processing automation, compact structure, the price is only six-axis industrial robot About half. The latter consists of an RB20 robot, a rail and a machine. The advantage of this unit is that it saves space and is more flexible than traditional truss robots. It can be equipped with multiple machine tools (more than 4 machine tools, machine tools can be placed on the pendulum).
The above two companies plus Wuhan Huazhong CNC Co., Ltd., all three companies are focused on the field of CNC system development or the company that has considerable expertise in CNC control, and the key application of industrial robots is motion control, so cross-border can be described as natural.
In fact, in addition to these, the machine tool company has also been eyeing this booming market. In the early years, Zhu Zhiyang, chairman of Youjia Group, clearly stated in an interview with China Industrial News that the industrial robot market is an area that Youjia must seize. The leading companies in the domestic machine tool industry, Shenyang machine tools, Dalian machine tools, etc. have also prepared early.
Of course, foreign brands aiming at the Chinese industrial robot market are also increasing their horsepower. For example, Jing Xirui, general manager of Beijing Fanaco Electromechanical Co., Ltd. said that in 2013, FANUC only sold 5,000 robots in China.
An analysis from the market statistics of the China Robot Network Data Research Center shows that in the Chinese robot market in 2012, the top ten sales are still dominated by foreign brands. Among them, 3900 units of FANUC, 3850 sets of Yaskawa, 3470 sets of KUKA, 3200 sets of ABB, 2000 sets of Ou Dixi, 1600 sets of Panasonic, 1220 sets of Xinsong, and sales of Kawasaki, Nachi and Hyundai are all around 1,000.
Fanuc, Yaskawa, KUKA and ABB are known as the four giants of the international industrial robot industry. In 2012, their total sales reached 14,470 units, accounting for 53.8% of the sales of the Chinese robot market. In 2012, the sales volume of local brand robots was only 2,252 units, and the market share was 8.7%.
In this analysis, the company with the best performance in the domestic robot market in 2012 was Shenyang Xinsong Robot Co., Ltd., with sales of 1,220 units, followed by Dongguan Qifan 400 units, Anhui Efte 200 units, Shanghai. Wodi 200 sets, Guangzhou CNC 170 sets.
