Q2

What Factors Should Be Considered When Purchasing a Robot?

Ans

Application Needs: Consider the specific tasks the robot will perform, such as welding, assembly, material handling, etc.
Work Range and Payload: Choose a robot based on the required work range and the maximum payload it can handle.
Precision and Repeatability: Select a robot based on the required precision, especially for tasks that need high accuracy.
Flexibility and Programmability: Evaluate how easily the robot can adapt to different tasks and whether it supports simple programming.
Budget: Choose a robot model within your available budget, including considerations for future maintenance costs.
Maintenance and Support: Choose manufacturers who offer good after-sales service, ensuring support and maintenance.

Q3

Can Robots Be Compatible With Existing Equipment?

Ans

Yes, modern robots usually support standard communication protocols (such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profinet, etc.) and can integrate seamlessly with other equipment on the production line (e.g., PLCs, sensors, industrial computers). It's essential to ensure compatibility during selection.

Q4

Can Robots Perform Multiple Tasks?

Ans

Yes,  industrial robots are highly flexible and can perform various tasks by changing the end effector (e.g., grippers, welding guns, dispensing nozzles). Robots can also be easily reprogrammed to adapt to different workflows.

Q5

How Do Robots Achieve Vision-Guided Tasks?

Ans

Robots can integrate vision systems to perform tasks such as object identification and positioning. The vision system uses cameras and sensors to capture environmental data and transmit it to the robot control system for real-time adjustments and operations.

Q6

How Do Robots Enable Remote Operation and Monitoring?

Ans

 robot systems support remote operation and monitoring through dedicated software or applications. This allows operators to control the robot’s operation, configure programs, and troubleshoot remotely, improving production efficiency and reducing downtime.

Q7

What Is the Typical Lifespan of a Robot?

Ans

The lifespan of a robot typically depends on its operating environment, maintenance condition, and workload. Under normal circumstances, industrial robots can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years with regular maintenance and necessary component replacements.

Q8

How Do Robots Help Reduce Labor Costs?

Ans

Robots reduce the need for manual labor by automating repetitive tasks, lowering production costs. They also improve efficiency and precision, minimizing human error and labor-related risks such as fatigue or injury.
