在現代生產製造型企業的用人成本不斷增加，以及工業4.0的倡導下，自動化生產方式成為生產型企業的轉型方向與潮流。 使用自動化改造，提升生產效率、良率與安全，並使人員提升至更高附加價值的生產管理工作。 在自動化的進程中，而又以最接近人手複雜操作的生產工作最為難以自動化取代。而六自由度的高端機械手臂，且價格高昂，早期多應用在較大型製造工業應用，例如:車輛組裝、航太等領域。隨著機械手臂的輕量化，以及機械手臂的製造成本降低，在中小型的生產線上提供了更先進自動生產場景的可能性。 本文將探討以六自由度柔性協作手臂為主，以自動化為手段，改進案例中傳統的生產流程，分析可改造的生產線工位站點，探討柔性六自由度協作手臂的自動化生產導入的評估重點。;According to the continuous increase of the employment cost of modern manufacturing enterprises and the advocacy of industry 4.0, automatic production mode has become the transformation direction and trend of manufacturing enterprises.
The use of automation transformation improves production efficiency, yield, and safety, and makes personnel to higher value-added production management.
In the process of automation, it is most difficult to replace the production work which is closest to the complex operation of human hands. The high-end robot arm with six degrees of freedom and high price was widely used in the large-scale manufacturing industry in the early stage, such as vehicle assembly, aerospace, and other fields. With the lightweight of the manipulator and the reduction of the manufacturing cost of the manipulator, it is possible to provide more advanced automatic production scenarios in small and medium-sized production lines.
This paper will discuss how to improve the traditional production process in the case based on the 6-DOF flexible cooperative arm using automation, analyze the station of the production line that can be transformed, and discuss the evaluation focus of automatic production introduction of the flexible 6-DOF cooperative arm.
