In the era of intelligent manufacturing, industrial robotic arms, collaborative robots, as well as commercial and consumer robots, all need to realize the 360° unrestricted rotary transmission of control current, analog signals, digital signals, gas, liquid and other media. Therefore, conductive slip rings are widely applied to key components of modern robots such as the mechanical structure system, drive system, perception system and interactive system, becoming an indispensable part for robots to achieve intellectualization, automation and anthropomorphism.
For collaborative robots, which have developed rapidly in recent years, their flexibility has surpassed that of human hands. For example, collaborative robots support various installation positions including upright mounting, inverted mounting and side mounting. Each joint of the robot can achieve 360° rotation and operate in an all-round way within a basically spherical working space, with almost no blind working spots.
Collaborative robots generally have 3 to 6 axial joints, and each joint requires 360° unrestricted rotation, which means that each collaborative robot needs to use at least 3 to 6 conductive slip rings. From the perspective of market application, although collaborative robots are currently mainly targeted at the B-end manufacturing market such as automobile, electronics, medicine, food, textile and furniture industries, with their development toward intellectualization and lightweight, they are bound to gradually penetrate into the C-end market of commercial terminals and family individuals in education, service, exhibition and other fields. Collaborative robots will also evolve from relatively single tasks such as grasping, assembling, welding, finishing and spraying in the early stage to a series of highly intelligent and complex tasks such as inspection, detection, analysis and medical treatment. Due to the different division of labor of various collaborative robots, it is necessary to apply conductive slip rings with combinations of different transmission media such as conductive slip rings, photoelectric slip rings and radio frequency conductive slip rings.
In response to the demand characteristics of collaborative robots such as compact structure, lightweight and high flexibility, the micro cap-type conductive slip rings developed by Huasheng Electric are not only small in size, but also adopt fully automated production, which avoids defects caused by human factors in the production process. In addition, the dual protection structural design with multi-contact on a single circuit ensures extremely high consistency and reliability with an extremely low packet loss rate, fully meeting the high-quality transmission requirements of control current, optical signals and digital signals for collaborative robots.
