Under the background that the manufacturing industry continues to move towards the mid-to-high end, industrial upgrading is moving towards the road of "dual transformation" of digitalization and low-carbonization. It is worth noting that while balancing economic development and environmental protection, we also face the problem of labor shortage caused by the aging population. Whether it is to greatly improve operational efficiency or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, collaborative robots play an extremely important role. High efficiency × low energy consumption × easy maintenance Collaborative robots are programmable robots that work alongside human workers and have the potential to significantly improve energy efficiency in production and manufacturing. By optimizing the production process and safely cooperating with humans in the same workspace, collaborative robots can greatly improve work efficiency, quality and resource utilization, save a lot of human resources, and achieve high efficiency, precision and energy saving in the production process. This mode of human-machine collaboration coincides with strategies such as energy consumption optimization and labor efficiency improvement advocated in the "dual carbon" goal. CRX collaborative robot is based on FANUC's accumulated experience in servo motor and robot production for many years. It is specially designed for the field of industrial manufacturing and can help users achieve higher production efficiency and lower environmental impact. The CRX collaborative robot has the characteristics of small footprint, high repeat positioning accuracy, free installation method, etc., and has excellent durability, low energy consumption and economy. For example, under the same load conditions, the rated power of CRX-10iA and CRX-10iA/L collaborative robots is 25% lower than that of M-10iD series industrial robots, and the average power is 70% lower, which can further reduce energy consumption. Adhering to the consistent "high reliability" product development concept, the CRX collaborative robot adopts a special servo motor + reducer, and the joint failure rate is low. This series of collaborative robots adopts a non-integrated joint structure design, which can replace servo motors, reducers and other components separately, with lower maintenance and repair costs, further prolonging the service life of collaborative robots, avoiding direct scrapping, and achieving sustainable development. Intelligent application, rational use of resources Entering the era of Wuka, major manufacturers have carried out structural adjustments and vigorously promoted the automation process, and collaborative robots have become a "sharp weapon" for the upgrading of enterprises' intelligent manufacturing. Through the accelerated combination with cutting-edge technologies such as machine vision, autonomous navigation, and deep learning, collaborative robots are highly automated, intelligent, and visualized, and can quickly adap...
