Explain the different applications of robots.

1�23. ROBOT DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS

1.23.1. MANUFACTURING APPLICATION OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOT
What is next in industrial robot?
Changing nature of manufactming and work.
L · Shift (rom high volume (or) low mix to low volume (or) high mix is having a
potential impact on manufacturing.
2. Many industries are facing acute shortage of skilled labour.
3. Quicker return of investment (ROI) of automation and rising wages are
eventually discouraging Jabour arbitrai:y.
.. 4. Increased focus is being placed on workplace safety.
Table 1.4. The potential m<mufacturinl! applications of industrial robots are:
I Material handing
. - Bottle loading
- Parts handing
- Transporting components
- Palletizing (or) Depalletizing
2 Machine loading (or) - Loading a punch press
unloading - Loading a die casting machine
components· - Loading parts on the test machine
- Loading parts to CNC machine tool
- Loading (or)orientating parts to transfer
machines.
- Loading electron beam welding machine and
laser beam welding machines
3 Spray painting - Painting of trucks (or) automobiles

Benefits of robots
Industrial robots offer. the following benefits:
1. Increased productivity 2. Reduced scrap and waste
3. Reduced reworking costs 4. Direct labour cost savings
5. Improved product quality 6. Savings in safety related costs
7. Reduced raw goods inventory 8. More consistent product quality
9. Savings from correctly forecasting product.ion schedules
10. Savings in overhead costs such as lighting; heating and cooling
fl.lture of the robotics
There are the following areas where the robotics .can be used vastly in future.
1. The robotics can be used in the medical field.
2. The robotics can be used for e-commerce.
3. The robotics can be used more than the industries.
4. The robotics can be raised with cloud based software. It will define new skills in
the robots.
