Chapter 1778: Use of industrial robots

Qin Guan knows a little bit about the history of Han's launch vehicle development. Now, listening to the historical review of that year, Qin Guan's heart is constantly surging. Our launch vehicle was developed under foreign blockade. It is the crystallization of the continuous dedication and the courage to surpass the older generation of scientists. Fortunately, now, we have finally blossomed.
After the brief introduction, everyone put on clean clothes and headed for the interior of the assembly plant.
Almost the same as the requirements in the electronics factory, even if there is dust in the air, it may fall into the interior of the rocket. Even if a circuit is abnormal, the time will be delayed for a second, it will be a thousand miles away.
Therefore, the requirements here are very strict. Everyone is wearing white dust-proof clothing. When they walk in, they are covered with large masks, almost only their eyes are exposed.
"Wow, there are two rockets being assembled." When you walk in, you can see two rockets lying flat on the floor of the workshop.
When the rocket is assembled, there are two ways. Now it is lying down. This kind of assembly is quite easy. However, after the assembly is completed, it needs to be tested horizontally. When it reaches the destination, it needs to be tested again. , And if the assembly is installed vertically, it is enough to check once.
In later generations, when the manned spacecraft was built, the vertical assembly method was adopted for convenience, but at that time, it was not in the factory here, but directly near the launch site, and a new assembly was built. workshop.
Now, although the rocket is lying flat, you can also see the structure of the various parts inside. Workers are using smart robotic arms to stretch parts into it to assemble.
"Your assembly has actually been automated? This is simply amazing!" Seeing this, everyone sighed.
If you go to the production line of the car factory of later generations, you can see a large number of robotic arms. These are production robots. When it comes to robots, most people can think of the same as humans. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. In industry The robots are specially designed according to their own work. Most of the robots are a mechanical arm with various specific equipment in front, such as grippers, suction cups, welding torches and so on.
If you see a large number of robots on a production line, it means that it is advanced. If most of them are manual, it is a manual workshop. The products produced are not guaranteed.
With the disappearance of the demographic dividend, there will be fewer and fewer manual workers, so it is an inevitable trend for robots to replace workers. However, robots are not something that will only exist in later generations.
The first robot used for manufacturing appeared in 1956. At this time, the function was very simple and could not be programmed. It could only be operated by pre-setting the robot arm angle.
After that, this advanced machine began to be studied by many advanced countries. For example, the first programmable commercial industrial robot was developed by ABB in Svia in January 1974, which is the world's first. A robot controlled by a microprocessor has been mass-produced.
With the big waves washing the sand, in the parallel time and space of later generations, four famous manufacturing robot families appeared, namely FANUC, Yaskawa Electric, ABB and KUKA. Among them, FANUC and KUKA are mainly used in the automotive industry; ABB is mainly used in electronic and electrical and logistics handling, and Yaskawa Electric is mainly used in the motor and inverter industries.
It is only in the 1980s and advanced automobile factories have just begun to introduce robotic arms. As for rocket manufacturing, there is no such thing for the time being.
Because rocket manufacturing belongs to small-batch production, cars are production lines, and there are millions of cars produced by one production line. This robot is fixed here and will be used for several years.
But what about the Rockets? At most a dozen of them are manufactured a year, and they will even continue to be improved. Therefore, manual assembly is more than enough, and robots are not needed at all!
Qin Guan also smiled in his heart. Of course, this robotic arm was used to show them. Now, with the development of the production line, the northern heavy truck factory has begun to introduce robots to manufacture certain parts. The rocket assembly here The factory only started to introduce this first robotic arm this year. It is mainly used to study the role of robots in assembly. It is of an experimental nature. However, this just reflects our own technical level.
"We believe that with the development of technology, robots will be used more and more in the industry." Qin Guan began to speak from the side: "The current robots can only be programmed manually and passively accept the instructions of the program. In the future, technology will continue to improve, and they will learn independently and become good helpers for us as human beings."
This Qin Guan didn’t talk nonsense. Look at the parallel time and space. AI technology has been developed in full swing. Everywhere is calling for artificial intelligence. There are even fully simulated robot girlfriends who look like real people. Don’t give away gifts. No RV, can chat to relieve boredom, can warm the bed, is definitely a good friend of single men.
"President Qin, although what you said sounds like science fiction, we believe that that day will definitely come." Swangerang said on the side.
"Yeah, I just don't know if there will be a robot rebellion, and finally become a robot to rule the world." Another person said, this made everyone suddenly laugh.
After laughing, Qin Guan continued to explain to everyone: "Applying robots can control accuracy. In fact, our CNC machine tools can be regarded as a kind of robot. Now, many parts of our rockets are passed It is produced by advanced CNC machine tools. In terms of manufacturing, we have always strived for perfection at all costs. The welding of the rocket shell is also robot welding."
"We believe in your technology." Someone kept nodding their heads. Sure enough, this visit left a deep impression on them. They watched the robotic arm install the parts, and then extended it again. At the fixed position of the arm, there is a display screen. At this time, a smiling face is showing on that display screen.
This guy, who can still interact with people, has done a good job, and will show a smile?
"The rocket here is about to complete the final assembly." Dean He, who is in charge of the reception, said: "We will have a launch mission in the near future to launch two Beidou navigation satellites into the sky with one arrow and two stars."
