Industrial robots are mainly composed of the three core components of servo system, controller and reducer, known as the “crown pearl” of manufacturing industry, is the carrier of emerging technologies, and important equipment for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry. At present, China has become the world’s largest industrial robot market, and the installed capacity of industrial robots has reached the first in the world.

XV-440-10TVB-1-50 What are the opportunities and paths for China to accelerate the development of industrial robots? On March 29, at the seventh “New quality Productivity Industry Salon” of the Science and Technology Innovation Board held by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, “New Evolution of industrial robots”, four representative enterprises in the field of industrial robots, Green Harmonic, Efte, Buke shares, and Hechuan Technology, deeply discussed the opportunities and challenges in the process of promoting the localization of industrial robots.

The participating companies believe that with the emergence of artificial intelligence technology and AI multi-modal large models, humanoid robots are expected to become a new generation of disruptive products in the industrial field.

Under the background of the in-depth implementation of the strategy of manufacturing power in China, the state has increased support for industrial robot technology breakthroughs and transformation applications from the aspects of machine, basic components and software, helping the domestic robot industry to enter the fast lane. In this process, green Harmonics and other science and technology board industrial robot industry chain enterprises accelerated the rise of China’s industrial robot “golden card”.

“As one of the three core parts of the robot, the reducer accounts for 1/3 of the cost of the robot, and has an important role in reducing the output speed and increasing the output torque.” For a long time, harmonic reducers have been monopolized by Japanese companies such as Hamenaco, with high prices and a long delivery cycle, which restricts the production and service of robot manufacturers.” Domestic harmonic reducer leading enterprise green harmonic general manager Zhang Yuwen said.

XV-440-10TVB-1-50 Green Harmonics has successfully developed a harmonic meshing tooth shape with independent intellectual property rights “P-type tooth” structure, taking the lead in breaking through the technical blockade of precision harmonic reducer, achieving industrial production and large-scale application, successfully breaking the monopoly of foreign brands, and driving the cost of domestic application side down significantly. At present, the reducer has achieved the whole industry chain coverage and large-scale production, and the domestic market share exceeds 60%.

In promoting domestic substitution at the same time, Green Harmonic actively layout overseas, leading the “made in China” harmonic reducer to the world stage, the current shipment ranks second in the world. Zhang Yuwen introduced, “Since 2015, the company has participated in Munich, Chicago and Tokyo and other international robot exhibitions, continue to enhance international visibility, has become ABB, General Electric, Alfa Laval and many other international high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises precision parts supplier.”

After 17 years of development and growth, Efte, the leader of the robot machine, has now entered the first echelon of domestic robots, and has taken the top seat of domestic spraying machines. Talking about the company’s development history, chief engineer Xiao Yongqiang said: “The company began to develop industrial robots in 2007, and successfully developed the first domestic 165 kg large-load robot for the automotive industry, creating an innovation record for Chinese enterprises.”
