Typical Case Studies
Air Fryer Production Line: 2 hydraulic presses + 4 x 125t presses + 6 x 1.4m robotic arms + dual-station material rack (Source: Industry); Server Chassis: 10 x 5kg robotic arms + 8 x 200t presses / turnover and docking (Source: Industry); Electric Vehicle Wheel Hubs: Six-station material rack + custom turnover table (Source: Industry); Communication Chassis: 3kg swing-arm robot + dual-station material rack / saves 4 workers, increases efficiency by 15% (Source: Industry); Retrofitting: Line with 6 x 125t presses / connected via high-speed transfer arms (Source: Jiubeisu) — Applications: Home appliances / 3C electronics / cabinets (involving turnover, process conversion, and automatic docking).
IV.
Selection Criteria
Key factors include: Workpiece (dimensions/weight/shape); Cycle Time (cycles/minute); Precision (±0.05mm); Tonnage (80–200t); and Feeding Method (coil stock/sheet stock) — Selection approach: Workpiece + Cycle Time + Tonnage (determine layout plan first).
V. Supplier Evaluation
1. Experience (12+ years); 2. Case Studies (production lines in the same industry); 3. After-sales Service (network of regional offices; Source: Qinfeng); 4. Retrofitting Capability (phased investment allowing modification while maintaining production; Source: Jiubeisu); 5. Price (robots starting at 21,500 RMB; Source: Borunte)—Evaluation criteria: Experience, case studies, and after-sales service (starting with free solution design).
VI.
Trends
Reduced Manpower: One operator managing 10 machines (Source: Jiubeisu); Flexibility: Mobile robotic arms that do not require fixed mounting (Source: Industry); Safety: Detection and correction for single-sheet vs. double-sheet feeding (Source: Industry); Retrofitting: Priority on upgrading existing production lines;
Domestic Production: Dominance of domestically produced robotic arms (Source: Industry)—Key trends: Reduced manpower, flexibility, and retrofitting (to reduce workplace injuries and improve efficiency).
VII. Procurement Recommendations
1. Complete Lines: Choose Qinfeng (turnkey solutions); 2. Standalone Machines: Choose Borunte (cost-effectiveness); 3. Retrofitting: Choose Jiubeisu (phased implementation); 4. Material Feeding: Choose SUNRUI (coil stock);
5. Acceptance Testing: Verify cycle time and precision—Hardware stamping automation: Qinfeng for complete lines, Borunte for standalone units (select robots based on material type; verify cycle time and precision during acceptance).
