Beilun News Network (Reporter Chen Zhangkun Correspondent Yang Na) Recently, the reporter learned from DZICS Industrial Robot Technology Co., Ltd. that the company's feeding manipulator, which took nearly three years and invested more than 4 million yuan in research and development, has successfully gone through the stages of design and trial operation, and will soon be put into mass production. It is understood that more than 30 domestic CNC lathe manufacturers and users have installed this product on their CNC lathes.
Located in the Digital Technology Park, DZICS Industrial Robot Technology Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in the research and production of industrial robots and intelligent production lines, providing customers with customized intelligent automation production equipment, and offering intelligent core technologies for automation equipment manufacturers. It is understood that manipulators, also known as automatic hands, are automatic operating devices that can imitate certain functions of human hands and arms to grasp, move objects or operate tools according to fixed programs. They can replace heavy human labor and achieve mechanization and automation in production. Dai Xiang, general manager of DZICS Company, told the reporter that the widespread use of manipulators can reduce labor force and costs for production enterprises while improving production safety. "In the context of increasingly tight labor supply, manipulators that replace human labor are expected to be widely used in enterprises across China, especially in coastal areas with developed manufacturing industries."
It is understood that the DZICS manipulator mainly consists of three parts: the hand, the motion mechanism, and the control system. It is usually used as an additional device for machine tools or other machines, such as being installed on CNC machine tools for loading, unloading, and transferring.
"The DZICS feeding manipulator is not simply a replacement for human labor; it is a human-like electromechanical device that combines the strengths of both humans and machines. It has the human ability to quickly respond to and analyze environmental conditions, as well as the machine's ability to work continuously for long periods with high precision and resistance to harsh environments," Dai Xiang told the reporter. Relying on strong software development capabilities, the company has also innovatively provided a secondary language customization platform for the DZICS manipulator's control software. This means that customers can independently modify parameters such as the manipulator's movement speed, rotation angle, feeding timing, and control method. To ensure the reliability and safety of the manipulator, DZICS Company has also established a corresponding fault self-diagnosis system in its control system to identify and eliminate faults that occur during operation. The product has also been granted a utility model patent by the National Intellectual Property Office.
"Many CNC lathe manufacturers and some CNC lathe users have installed the DZICS feeding manipulator as an automatic feeding machine for CNC lathes to replace manual feeding," Wen Wen, the company's operations director, told the reporter. It is understood that the product has been well-received by the market since its launch. A relevant person in charge of Ningbo Yaofa CNC Lathe Manufacturing Co., Ltd. said that in the past, their CNC lathes required manual loading and unloading. After installing the manipulator, fully automatic processing can be achieved, improving efficiency by three to five times compared to before. Originally, one person could manage at most two CNC lathes, but with the manipulator, one person can now manage six to eight simultaneously.
