many polyurea engineering technicians, constructors and supervisors lack formal polyurea technology training original title: industry therefore, the measurement and control system of friction and wear testing machine has developed rapidly. Robot industry analysis in the first half of the year

▪ In the first half of 2018, the growth rate of industrial robot production slowed down, with a year-on-year increase of 23.9%

according to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the output of industrial robots in the first half of 2018 was 73849 sets, with a year-on-year increase of 23.9%. Compared with the growth rate of 52.3% in the first half of 2017, the growth rate of industrial robots has slowed down in the first half of 2018

experienced explosive growth in 2017. In 2018, the output of industrial robots began to enter a stable growth stage, and the demand for industrial robots also stabilized. According to the analysis of Mir databank, there are three main reasons: 1) in 2017, the market of various traditional industrial robot products tends to be saturated, and it is difficult to maintain a high growth rate in 2018; 2) Most local indicators of the strength of the experimental machine itself, the net profit of the manufacturing industry is not high, and there is a lack of funds for automation transformation; 3) Affected by the slowdown in the growth of downstream automotive, 3C and lithium battery industries, the output and demand of industrial robots in 2018 are also slowing down

agv and cooperative robots performed well

agv and cooperative robots performed well in the first half of 2018, mainly due to the release of demand from the intelligent warehousing and logistics and consumer electronics industry. The performance of traditional industrial robots tended to be stable in the first half of 2018 and not very optimistic in the second half of 2018 due to the saturated demand of downstream industries, insufficient funds, Sino US trade war and other factors

at present, China's collaborative robot market is in its infancy and the market scale is small, but collaborative robots have the characteristics of lightweight, miniaturization and refinement of processes, which can meet the supply needs and requirements of the consumer electronics industry for robots, and can also be applied in some environments that traditional industrial robots cannot adapt to. There is still a lot of demand in the next few years. Mir databank predicts that the sales volume of collaborative robots in China will increase nearly 30 times from 2015 to 2020

agv is also a product worthy of attention. In the warehousing and logistics industry, AGV has very obvious advantages, which not only reduces the time from order to delivery, reduces errors and the need for reverse logistics, reduces the labor burden, reduces the transportation mode between manufacturers and distribution centers, delays delivery beyond the traditional time, but also shows its better and faster processing capacity through IOT, These are incomparable to traditional industrial robots. In recent years, the e-commerce market has expanded day by day, and the demand for storage and logistics robot AGV has also increased year by year. In the first half of 2018, the sales volume of AGV increased by about 35% year-on-year. It is expected that the sales volume of AGV will increase nearly 10 times from 2015 to 2020

▪ The automobile industry in the downstream market of industrial robots has a weak growth, and 3C, lithium battery, medical treatment, ceramic bathroom and other industries will become new growth points

China's industrial robots are widely used in automobile, 3C, plastic, food, metal processing and other industries, mainly in the form of "automobile +3c" two wheel drive. At present, the industrial robot market in the automotive industry tends to be saturated and will grow steadily in the future, while the plastics, food, metal processing and other industries do not have much room for development. However, with the development of industrial robots in a deeper and farther direction and the improvement of the level of intelligence, their industrial applications will be extended to other manufacturing industries, such as semiconductors New energy (mainly lithium battery industry), medical treatment, ceramic sanitary ware and other industries

automobile industry: affected by the cancellation of preferential policies for the purchase tax of small displacement vehicles, the reduction of new energy subsidies, the reduction of automobile import tariffs and other factors, China's automobile market will continue to grow slowly in 2018. Mir databank predicts that the growth rate of the automobile industry in 2018 will be 3.4%. The sluggish growth of the automotive industry has greatly affected the application of industrial robots. The growth of industrial robots in the automotive industry will continue to slow down in the next few years, but the development of its sub industry, the electric vehicle industry, has provided new growth impetus for China's industrial robot market

3c industry: 3C is divided into traditional 3C and emerging 3C. Traditional 3C includes PC, tablet computer and smart, while emerging 3C refers to wearable devices, ar/vr and consumer drones represented by smart watches and smart bracelets. At present, the traditional 3C stock space is large, and PC, tablet computer and intelligent suppliers have begun to enter the competition pattern of the Red Sea. The rapid upgrading of products makes the production line and production equipment in a state of rapid renewal. It is understood that the renewal cycle of PC, tablet computer and intelligence is within three years, and the renewal of production line produces a huge demand for 3C industrial robots. Although the emerging 3C industry is in its infancy, it still cannot be underestimated. In recent years, the rapid growth of about 40%, the rapid upgrading and the production of a large number of new products have a great impact on the industrial robot market

lithium battery industry: a large number of industrial robots are needed in many links of lithium battery production process, such as shell entry, formation, capacity division, packaging, cell cleaning, appearance inspection, electrical property inspection, module assembly, assembly pressing, module welding, finished product inspection, etc. at present, the lithium battery industry is in a period of rapid development, and many lithium battery projects are in the stage of launch and upgrading, This has led to a large demand for industrial robots in the lithium battery industry. It is expected that the sales volume of industrial robots in the lithium battery industry will continue to maintain a double-digit rapid growth in the next few years

the suppliers of industrial robots are still led by four families

the market performance of foreign suppliers of industrial robots

at present, foreign robots applied in China are mainly divided into Japanese and European systems. Japanese companies mainly include Yaskawa, OTC, Panasonic, FANUC, Nachi, Kawasaki and other products, while European companies mainly include KUKA in Germany, abb in Sweden and Comau in Italy. These companies have become the pillar industries in their regions

comparing the sales of different foreign-funded manufacturers in the first half of 2018, foreign-funded manufacturers are still led by four families, namely FANUC, abb, Yaskawa and KUKA. The total sales of the four manufacturers accounted for nearly 60% of the total sales of foreign brands, of which FANUC had the highest sales

in the first half of 2018, due to the small number of new production lines with high-end capacity in the automotive and electronics industry, affected by the reduction in client demand, the shipment of FANUC, abb and KUKA industrial robots declined, while Yaskawa performed better in 3C electronics and semiconductors, with more new orders

market performance of local suppliers of industrial robots

from the perspective of brands, the domestic manufacturers with better market performance in 2018 were Anhui evert, Shenyang Xinsong, Nanjing Easton and Guangzhou CNC. Compared with other local manufacturers, these four manufacturers started earlier and have a certain scale and technical strength at present

in terms of industry, the application industry of domestic brand industrial robots in the first half of 2018 was relatively scattered, with food and beverage industry and plastic rubber industry as the main application industries, accounting for about 30%. Compared with the automotive industry and the electronic industry, the food and beverage industry and the plastic and rubber industry have relatively low requirements on the accuracy and stability of robots. Most domestic brand industrial robots are sold to the food and beverage industry and the plastic and rubber industry
