With a human-like feel and touch, it can sense the difference in casting size and automatically adjust and polish castings of different shapes. A few days ago, the first domestic intelligent casting grinding robot made in Nanning was released. The casting grinding robot realizes intelligence, which not only saves manpower, but also improves efficiency, and fills the gap in the current domestic technology application. In the future, if the robot with sense of touch is applied to daily life, it can also help us make coffee, open the door, and even help us massage.

Casting grinding robot has a sense of touch and perception
A few days ago, the reporter came to Nanning Yuli Instrument Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yuli Company) located in the high-tech zone to see that this domestic first casting grinding robot can automatically grind castings of various shapes under the control of the control system.

Dr. Huang Yu, president of Nanning Yuli Instrument Co., Ltd., said that castings are widely used and there are a considerable number of casting enterprises in China. The casting needs to be polished in order to remove the flash and gate of the casting. However, at present, casting polishing is almost entirely dependent on manual work, the labor intensity of workers is high, the environment is bad, and safety accidents occur from time to time. There are fewer and fewer workers willing to engage in polishing work, and the labor cost is rising year by year. Many companies hope to use robots to complete the polishing work. However, the general industrial robot, can only simply repeat the same action, no touch, can not adapt to the size of the casting size changes. There is no good robot solution in the domestic or even international market.

The intelligent grinding robot developed by Yuli Company has successfully solved the above problems. Even the same type of casting, the size of the difference is a few millimeters. After integrating the six-axis force sensor, the intelligent polishing robot has the same hand feeling as a human, can sense the difference in casting size and automatically adjust, realize intelligence, and truly replace manual labor. "This intelligent polishing robot has a high technological content, and it can be said to be the first intelligent polishing robot in China to enter a casting factory." Huang said.

It can identify different parts and recycle dust.
The dust produced by casting factory is a big hidden danger of safe production.
Huang Yo said that this casting grinding robot can sense the concentration of dust during work, and can also recover dust by spraying water, I .e. adding water to wash the dust to the tray below while polishing, and recover all of it, reducing the dust concentration in the working environment and ensuring safe production.

Tang Mingfu, engineering manager of Yuli Company, said that the intelligent polishing robot instead of manual operation has greatly improved production efficiency. For example, it takes a minute for a worker to polish a model, and a robot only takes more than half a minute. In addition, robots replace manual processes, which reduces the risk of human management and saves costs for enterprises. "At present, there are 20 thousands or 30 thousands casting factories in China, each of which needs to use grinding process, and the parts of each casting factory are different." Tang Mingfu said that the intelligent grinding robot can sense the difference in casting size and automatically adjust it, and can do a lot of work, which can be said to be the "industrial revolution" in the casting industry, filling the current gap in the application of technology in this area in China.

According to Tang Mingfu, the company's R & D team spent more than a year developing this intelligent polishing robot, all of which were independently developed, including all core components, sensors, power loading systems, control systems, etc., which are technically at the domestic advanced level.

"Intelligent polishing robot can produce greater social benefits." Huang said that the dust generated during polishing is easy to cause lung disease and it is difficult to find polishing workers. Using robots to replace manpower has great social benefits. With the expansion of the functions of intelligent casting grinding robots and the reduction of costs, they believe that intelligent grinding robots will enter more and more factories, solve more and more problems, and keep people away from the dusty grinding workshop.
