Recently, ABB and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, the world”s two largest suppliers of industrial automation robots, have reached a partnership. The two
will share knowledge and promote the development of collaborative robot projects, especially in the design of dual-arm robots.
Collaborative automation enables people and machines to work together, with each person contributing their unique strengths, providing knowledge,
insight, and improvisation, while the robots provide repetitive tasks and tireless stamina.
This is a cross-border cooperation. ABB is the largest robot supplier in Europe, and Kawasaki Asia is also a giant in the industry. The scale and speed
of the development of robots today are unimaginable. In addition to collaborative automation technology, the cooperation between the two also has a new way
of working together and creating industrial safety collaboration.
Collaborative robots can help society and the world cope with labor shortages and an aging population, especially those with arms that can interact with humans.
There is great potential to expand collaborative applications and processes, and people and technology to co-create solutions, and ABB and Kawasaki have
joined forces to bring a more human touch to drive advanced collaborative automation.
ABB has sold more than 300,000 robot solutions in different industries and is recognized as a leader in collaborative automation through yumi”s dual-arm robot
. It launched the world”s first true collaborative robot and has been using yumi robots for It enables humans and robots to safely complete common tasks such as small
electronic assembly. Kawasaki has launched a very unique and innovative dual-arm SCARA robot duaro that can work with people in various workplaces.
Kawasaki is now recognized as a global leader in a wide range of industries, providing state-of-the-art machinery and robotics for the marine, air,
environmental and energy sectors, with businesses ranging from marine transportation, rail and aerospace to recreational vehicles and motorcycles.
ABB robot manufacturing process revealed
Daqing Volvo Car Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a vehicle manufacturing enterprise jointly established by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Volvo Cars
(China) Investment Co., Ltd. in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. It mainly produces the S90 long-wheelbase luxury sedan. You must know that this However, it
is the most luxurious car made in China by any car brand in the world, and it is also the first time that a high-end car made in China is exported to the US market.
Today, we are going to go deep into the factory to see how these cars are manufactured by ABB robots.
As Volvo”s global benchmark factory, Volvo”s Daqing factory uses a large number of ultra-high-strength boron steel materials for the S90 models, and also uses
aluminum materials in many places to ensure the lightweight of the entire vehicle. In Volvo”s
modern welding workshop with unified global standards, more than 200 ABB robots are used, which are widely used in side lines, main lines, door lines,
roof lines, fender lines, and adjustment lines, involving handling, spot welding, automatic For punching and riveting, laser welding, piping, gluing and other
applications, the main line also uses ABB”s advanced body assembly positioning solution GateFramer, which meets Volvo”s high standards and strict requirements.
The S90 has a total of 5,789 welding
points, of which more than 4,000 are automatically completed by robots, with an automation rate of 70%.
In the fender line and roof line, Volvo also uses ABB robot safety software Safe Move to achieve human-machine collaboration, avoid unnecessary
downtime of the robot, and improve production efficiency.
The Daqing factory is Volvo”s global manufacturing base. The S90 models it produces not only meet the needs of the local market, but also
supply major global markets such as the United States and Europe. In addition to the welding workshop, ABB Robots also provides robots, advanced
applications and technical support for Volvo”s stamping and painting workshops.
