With the rapid development of science and technology, the manufacturing of some batch and large-scale products obviously cannot meet the needs of enterprises. Therefore, a robot was born in the 1960s. After years of research and improvement, especially industrial robots, it has gradually been used in manufacturing, medical, logistics, automobile, space, diving and other fields.
The development of industrial robots has solved many problems unmatched by human resources. Production efficiency has virtually saved labor costs and improved production efficiency. The Robotic Industry Association of America defines robots as reprogrammable multi-functional manipulators used to handle materials, parts, tools, etc., or special equipment used to complete various work tasks through the debugging of different programs. For a country, the existence of robots reflects the development level of national productivity to a certain extent.
Robotic stacking is mainly used in the logistics industry and is also a typical example of industrial robot applications. The significance of stacking lies in that according to the concept of integrated unit, objects are stacked in a certain way to make them easy to handle, unload and store. In the process of object transportation, except for bulk or liquid goods, general goods are stored and transported in the form of stacking to save space and bear more goods.
Traditional stacking is done manually, and in many cases it cannot adapt to the development of high-tech. When the speed of the production line is too high or the product quality is too high, it is difficult for human resources to meet the requirements. There are many people using human resources to stack, and the labor cost is very high, but it cannot improve the production efficiency.
In order to improve the efficiency of handling and unloading, improve the quality of stacking, save labor costs, and ensure the life safety of enterprise employees, the research of stacking robot becomes very important. In recent years, the automation equipment of factories in China has become more and more advanced, and it is necessary to improve the required logistics efficiency to reduce production costs. The application of automatic high-speed stacking robots is more and more extensive, but the development of stacking robots in China is still at a low level. Factories use stacking robots introduced from abroad, and there are relatively few independent development brands. It is of great practical significance to solve the problems existing in the development of domestic stacking robots and develop stacking robots that meet the production needs of factories in China.
