According to the latest research from authoritative institutions, the demand for the global industrial robot market is still accelerating due to labor shortage and loss of demographic dividend. In recent years, China has actively led the transformation of economic development, coupled with the loss of demographic dividend, and the labor-intensive low-end manufacturing industry in China has gradually transformed itself into a technology-intensive high-end manufacturing industry. As a result, highly automated demand has skyrocketed. Pre-machines The demand for robots in China in 2016 is expected to reach 95,000 units.

Global Robot Market Trends in 2016

1. Big country policy leads to promote the growth of industrial and service robots. Big industrial countries propose robotics policies, such as the German “Industry 4.0”, the new Japanese robot strategy, the US Advanced Manufacturing Partner Program, China’s “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” and “Made in China 2025 National policies such as the inclusion of the robot industry as an important connotation will not only promote the continuous growth of the industrial robot market, but also drive the rapid growth of professional and personal/family service robot markets.

2. The automotive industry is still the main user of industrial robots At this stage, the automotive industry manufacturers are still the largest users of industrial robots. In terms of robot density used by the automotive industry in 2014, more than 10,000 people in Japan, Germany, the United States, and South Korea used More than 1,000 industrial robots, compared to 305 in mainland China. Since Japan, Germany, the United States, and South Korea are all major automotive industry countries, the main demand for future industrial robots still lies in the automotive industry.

3. Dual-arm cooperation robots are a new bright spot for the industrial robot market With the continuous increase in personnel costs, the burden of personnel costs, including assembly factories and SMEs, is relatively heavy, coupled with the shortage of labor force in countries with severe population aging, making them Collaborative robots have become solutions for reducing personnel costs, increasing productivity, and filling labor gaps. At the 2015 Tokyo International Robot Exhibition, the global robotics company vigorously promoted its collaborative robot products.

4. Service robot market growth momentum is very serviceable robots, at this stage to sweep the overall market with sweeping robots, entertainment robots and medical care machines. Advances in artificial intelligence have enabled service robots to have the ability to communicate and interact with humans. This will enable life companion service robots to become new forces in the market. In addition, the growing aging of agriculture in some countries and regions has also driven the growth of agricultural robots.

"Industrie 4.0" products have gradually become commercialized, and cooperative robots are optimistic about the innovation in information and communication to promote the explosive growth of mobile terminal applications. The opening of the Internet of Things era is also unveiled. It also stimulates the concept of "Industry 4.0" as the production end to launch a comprehensive industrial upgrading campaign. By the end of 2015, most of the “Industry 4.0” solutions or products exhibited by German, Japanese, and American manufacturers were still in the showroom or lab stage, and they had not yet been commercialized.

Some products are commercialized first, becoming future market acceptance indicators

The "Industry 4.0" technology in most R&D institutions of various countries has not yet matured, and it may still be a while before the distance can be transferred to the manufacturers. Relatively speaking, robot and machine tool manufacturers have developed faster on collaborative robots and networked machine tools. After commercialization, the real growth of the market will not be realized until 2016-2017.

The first type of product that is currently commercialized is the "cooperative robot." Switzerland ABB launched two arms of the "Yu-Mi" collaborative robot, Germany kuka launched "LBRiiwa", fanuc launched "CR-35iA", YASKAWA launched "MOTOMAN-HC10" and so on, most of which were introduced in 2015. The price of each product ranges from 16,000 euros to more than 100,000 euros.

Collaborative robots have fewer sharp corners, reduce speed or stop before people touch, and have security; built-in vision system can directly pull the robot arm to move and teach movements. Can work with operators.

    Meniscus lens is a lens which has two spherical curved surfaces, convex on one side and concave on the other side. It is thicker at the center than at the edges. The lens provides a smaller beam diameter in order to reduce the beam waste and spherical aberration.

    Positive meniscus lens is a convex-concave lens thicker at the center than at the edges. It is used to minimize spherical aberration. When used in combination with another lens, it will shorten the focal length, and increase the NA of system.

    Negative meniscus lens is a convex-concave lens thinner at the center than edges. It increases the divergence of the beam without introducing any significant spherical aberration. When used in combination with another lens, it will increase the focal length and decrease the NA of the system.
