According to estimates by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the number of industrial robots used in China is expected to exceed 428,000 units by 2017. “Companies will be forced to invest more in robotics to improve productivity and product quality,” said Gudrun Litzenberger, IFR Secretary General in Frankfurt, Germany. The industry is developing in the automotive industry, but in the next 2-3 years, the electronics industry will be the driving force.”
The application of robots in the 3C field will become the second largest industry of Industrial Robot applications after automobiles
The automotive industry has always been the industry that uses the most industrial robots. Globally, the sales of industrial robots in the automotive industry account for about 45%, while the sales of industrial robots in the electrical and electronic industry account for only about 20%.60% of domestic industrial robots are also used in the automobile manufacturing industry. The density of robots in the automobile industry has reached 305 units/10,000 units, far higher than the domestic average of 36 units/10,000 units, and has reached the level of manufacturing in developed countries.automationlevel, and the room for improvement in the future is limited.
In addition to the automobile industry, China is also a major consumer of home appliances and consumer electronics, as well as a major producer. Changes in market competition have prompted innovations in the production efficiency of 3C home appliance manufacturers. Agile manufacturing, flexible manufacturing, and lean manufacturing have become the development direction of 3C home appliance manufacturers, and the characteristics of industrial robots are catering to this manufacturing trend: high speed, high flexibility, and high precision products that help 3C home appliance manufacturers respond more quickly to market changes Replacement, access to more efficient manufacturing capabilities and higher quality product quality control.
At present, the automation rate of my country’s 3C industry is still low, and there is still a huge demand for automation transformation. 3C products consist of a large number of components (for example, mobile phones include large components such as touch screens, Display panels, motherboard PCBs, batteries, mid-boards, and back covers, as well as other small components such as cameras and structural components), and they are basically non-standard. Standard products, small size, high absolute accuracy requirements. However, the related parts manufacturing technology and the whole machine assembly technology (such as mobile phone casing, glass, cover plate, etc.), the technology and equipment are quite mature, the processing content is highly repetitive, and the labor intensity is high, which is in line with the characteristics of automatic transformation.
The density of robots in the Chinese market is still far behind developed countries: in the Chinese manufacturing industry, there are only 30 robots per 10,000 workers, compared with 323 in Japan, 282 in Germany and 282 in the United States. 152 units. Based on the huge scale of practitioners in my country’s 3C manufacturing industry, if the density of robots in the industry is to reach the level of developed countries such as Germany, the United States, and Japan, the automation transformation potential of the 3C manufacturing industry is huge.

FANUC’s small robots, which are good at assembling small workpieces, can perform the most complex tasks in a small space, install computer hard disks, grind optical lenses or assemble fuel cells, and are the best choice for production and operation processes in the precision field.
FANUC medium-sized robots are equipped with force control technology, which can achieve high-quality grinding and polishing and deburring and flashing, which is an ideal choice for finishing parts. FANUC 3C industrial robots can achieve the desired surface treatment effect, further improve product quality, extend production line uptime, and at the same time have the flexibility necessary for short cycle and mass production. FANUC large-scale robots can be used as loading and unloading hands of injection molding machines (IMM) and die-casting machines, engaged in the production of 3C product shell and cover parts, and can also be used for flat panel Display (FPD) handling. The FANUC spraying robot has become the industry standard model for the cover spraying of a series of products such as notebook computers and mobile phones.
l ABB robots in Switzerland meet the needs and help the 3C industry to leapfrog wisdom
ABB robots in Switzerland have always been committed to helping 3C (computer, communication and consumer electronics) manufacturers improve their manufacturing processes and increase production efficiency in various application fields. ABB 3C industrial robots can achieve the desired surface treatment effect, further improve product quality, increase the uptime of production lines, and combine the flexibility necessary for short cycle and high-volume production.

l GermanyKUKA Robot manmachine collaboration,accomplish3C productsflexible manufacturing
In the era of Industry 4.0, the development of “smart factories” is on the rise. Today, automated, networked, variable production lines are in demand, which can respond quickly and flexibly to shorter product life cycles. 3C products have the characteristics of fast replacement, and there are major changes every 6 months to 1 year, which brings the need for equipment replacement. The question of how to directly consider the individual needs of customers in industrial mass production is also becoming more and more important.
The KUKA LBR iiwa (Intelligent Industrial Robot Assistant) is the world’s first mass-produced sensitive industrial lightweight robot that can interact with humans without isolation. With its perfect design and excellent performance, it won the “Best Red Dot Award” at the 2014 Red Dot Design Award, which is known as the “Oscar” in the design industry. The KUKA LBR iiwa plays a central role in individualized series manufacturing. The lightweight robot with seven axes is very flexible and can optimally combine injection molding with additive manufacturing.
