In industrial production, the installation of industrial robots is of paramount importance. Problems during installation can not only affect the robot's performance and reduce its lifespan, but also impact industrial safety and damage the company's economic benefits. Therefore, proper installation of industrial robots is crucial. Based on past experience, the author believes the following three aspects must be addressed during installation:
Understanding the Procedure: Before installation, personnel must have a thorough understanding of the industrial robot's operating procedures. This includes understanding the relationships between its components, identifying which dimensions must be precisely accurate, and which can be relaxed. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the installation drawings is necessary. It's essential to grasp the robot's working principles and functional structure, and to secure appropriate tools and equipment before installation to ensure a successful installation.
Developing a Plan: A detailed installation plan should be developed for each industrial robot, taking into account the actual production conditions. Contingency plans should also be established to ensure comprehensive and effective implementation. Furthermore, before actual installation, relevant work instructions should be developed. These instructions should clearly define specific operating procedures, key points, required personnel, and self-inspection requirements, providing a unified basis for the safety of industrial robot equipment. Multiple copies of the work instructions should be made, with each party-the production company, supervision department, installation and commissioning department, and on-site installation department-retaining a copy. This ensures accountability in case of future problems and avoids disputes.
Cognitive Execution refers to the need for a detailed review after each industrial robot installation. For example, after installing the connecting equipment, a detailed review of the critical dimensions of the installed components is necessary to prevent rework due to dimensional changes. After all industrial robot equipment is installed, a comprehensive self-inspection should be conducted. Problems should be identified and addressed before later commissioning to achieve a high standard of one-time acceptance, ensuring the installation progress is met and completed within the stipulated timeframe.
