Intelligent robots' going out 'of the hometown of bearings
2024-12-06
OK "," like ", turning" fingers ", bending" joints "... The robotic arm flexibly gestured and drew various gestures, attracting the attention of many viewers. This is the dexterous hand developed by Zhejiang Lingqiao Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., which recently appeared at the 2024 World Internet Conference "Internet Light" Expo. The industrial grade five finger dexterous hand has achieved mass production and can be used not only on humanoid robots, but also in medical assistance, industrial automation and other scenarios, with related technologies reaching the international advanced level. Including smart and intelligent technology, there are currently more than 20 intelligent robot parts and component enterprises in Xinchang County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, forming a general intelligent robot component industry chain. The overall scale is expected to exceed 5 billion yuan by 2025. Located in a mountainous area, Xinchang's location advantage is not obvious. Why can the intelligent robot industry bloom and bear fruit here? The reporter went to the local area to investigate. Emerging industries are taking root and sprouting. "The human hand has 21 degrees of freedom, and the dexterous hand has achieved 18 degrees, which can complete some complex actions," said Zhou Chen, the general manager of dexterous intelligent technology. The dexterous hand concentrates driving, motion, perception, and control in one palm, improving the operational ability of humanoid robots and expanding their application scope. The reason why I settled in Xinchang is because I valued the relatively complete supply chain in the local area Zhou Chen stated that manufacturing robots requires hundreds of components, and matching is very important. As the "hometown of bearings", Xinchang has more than 600 bearing enterprises with over 30000 employees and annual sales of bearings exceeding 10 billion yuan. The development of the robot industry has a solid foundation. How can the 'hometown of bearings' become the' cradle 'for nurturing the robotics industry? Harmonic reducers, like the "joints" of robots, are one of the key components. Zhejiang Wuzhou Xinchun Group Co., Ltd., located in Xinchang, has successfully developed flexible bearings for harmonic reducers and achieved mass production. Afterwards, the company broke through the bottleneck process of key components of RV reducers used in robots and achieved mass production of tapered roller bearings. Zhou Yilong, the person in charge of the R&D department, introduced that the company has developed more than 10 key component products in 5 categories for humanoid robots. From domestic substitution of industrial robot components to the development and production of humanoid robot components, Xinchang Haina Renhe Bearing Co., Ltd. has been using it for more than ten years. We have solved the difficulties in materials, processes, and other aspects, and achieved localization of the key transmission module of the robot composed of bearings, needle tips, and transmission shafts, "said Haina Ren and General Manager Ren Rongfu. Wang Liying, Deputy County Mayor of Xinchang County, introduced that the local government has guided local enterprises to enter the blue ocean of the robot industry, while attracting a group of high-quality robot enterprises to develop and take the lead in the robot industry chain. Emerging industries have taken root and sprouted, with research and development expenses reaching 1.2 billion yuan in the past two years. The development of intelligent robot industry has added a "new engine" to the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries such as bearings, textiles, and automotive parts in Xinchang. As an important textile machinery production base in the country, Xinchang Textile Machinery Industry started early, has a complete industrial system, and has more than 100 textile machinery enterprises. Once the program is programmed, the automatic welding robot will be very capable. Yuanxin Industrial Co., Ltd.'s digital intelligent sheet metal factory features welding robots that emit dazzling welding sparks, completing welding in less than two minutes with an accuracy of 0.1 millimeters. The welds are also very uniform, resulting in stable and beautiful product formation. As a high-end dyeing and finishing technology equipment supplier, Yuanxin Industry mainly produces textile machinery, printing and dyeing machinery, and mechanical accessories. We have introduced robots to upgrade and transform our production line, continuously improving the level of automation, "said Chen Shaojun, Chairman of Yuanxin Industry. With a 3-meter-long track, robots can weld 60 to 70 pieces per day, improving production efficiency and potentially leading to a significant increase in company profits. As a gathering place for the general robot industry, we have formulated a special industrial development plan around the construction of industrial ecology, innovation driven, scenario driven and other aspects, to strengthen and expand the application of robots in various industries Ding Aifeng, Director of the Management Committee of Xinchang High tech Industrial Park, said. The good ecology will bear the fruit of innovation, and the construction of Xinchang General Intelligent Robot Industrial Park will soon be completed, accepting enterprises to settle in. Yu Xiang, the project leader of Xinchang County High tech Innovation Holding Group, said that the industrial park will form a linkage with the science and technology innovation enclave in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Establish an innovation driven leadership group to coordinate and promote various tasks related to scientific and technological innovation; Rewarding enterprise technological innovation, 400 million yuan is allocated annually for technological innovation, talent introduction, and strategic industry development. The proportion of R&D funds in the county's gross domestic product has remained above 4% for several consecutive years... Xinchang continues to optimize its innovation ecosystem and improve its full lifecycle innovation services for enterprises. This year, Xinchang released a development plan for the general intelligent robot industry, introducing several policies to cultivate and develop the general intelligent robot industry. It will also establish a supporting fund for the general robot industry to further improve the business environment. Huang Xurong, Secretary of the Xinchang County Party Committee, stated that Xinchang will continue to actively cultivate future industries such as general intelligent robots, and strive to shape new development advantages through technological innovation.
