Industrial automation is the use of robotic devices to complete manufacturing tasks. In this day and age of computers, industrial automation is becoming increasingly important in the manufacturing process because computerized or robotic machines are capable of handling repetitive tasks quickly and efficiently. Machines used in industrial automation are also capable of completing mundane tasks that are not desirable to workers. In addition, the company can save money because it does not need to pay for expensive benefits for this specialized machinery. There are both pros and cons for a company when it comes to industrial automation.
On the plus side, with soaring healthcare costs, paid days off, vacation time, and other costly employee benefits, companies can save money with industrial automation. While robotic machinery can initially be extremely expensive, the loss of monthly wages for production workers leads to incredible savings for the company. While machinery used for industrial automation can break down, it does not happen often. If it does, only a handful of maintenance or computer engineers are needed to handle repairs and get lines running smoothly again.
As the utility of industrial automation robotics has positively impacted the cost of manufacturing, the size of products that are being manufactured have influenced the size of robotics. The manufacturing of smaller and smaller electronic devices has had a great influence on the size of industrial automation robotics that are used to produce them. Some of the processes that industrial automation robotics are required to do would not be possible if the operations were manual. Consistent insertion of diodes and capacitors onto electronic boards or the insertion of tiny fasteners into assemblies are examples of chores that automation robotics perform very well.
Demands of production that are made on industrial robotics also require that tasks that are accomplished be very fast in addition to being accurate. The combination of speed and accuracy that is required has caused a shift in the use of some types of robots. SCARA robotics have been replaced in some cases by Delta robotics to get the precision and speed that is needed. The characteristic overhead mounting of Delta robotics make them the best for working in a larger area below the robot. Having six axis freedom the Delta robotic has the ability to perform multiple location movements to get parts into a wide variety of positions very quickly. The speed of these robots make them ideal for the assembly of very small electronic units.
There has also been a shift in the capabilities of other robot types. SCARA robots were once the only robot used in the assembly electronic products. Now with the speed increases that are capable of articulated arm robotics these units can effectively be used in soldering and solar cell construction. Articulated arm robots are easier to program and have good flexibility for assembly.
Tabletop articulates are very applicable to the application that assembles mobile phones. This robotic is very useful in taking parts from a vertical orientation to a horizontal. In the assembly and testing of mobile phones the robotic can take an electronic board from the vertical and place it into a testing position at the horizontal. These articulates are also very successful in handling very thin organic products in a vacuum environment with great precision.
