Development trend of industrial robots
The key sectors for the application of industrial robots are enterprises in automobile manufacturing, construction machinery, motors, electronics and other industries. Reflected in the aircraft manufacturing industry, the production process must meet the long service life, light structure, short development cycle and low production cost of advanced manufacturing technology, the use of industrial robots is more prominent. For example, the use of CNC machine and cutting of large integral structural parts. In order to avoid the use of fasteners and mechanical connectors, such as integral panels, spars, fuselage frames, ribs, side walls and connecting joints, etc., CNC machining technology is widely used, equipped with large multi-coordinate, multi-spindle, high-speed, multi-station CNC machine tools and machining centers and other computer integrated flexible processes. Precision sheet metal forming technology uses a large-tonnage CNC skin stretch machine, so that large complex skin in the sheet metal stretching process to achieve numerical simulation and dynamic simulation, real-time tracking of three-dimensional shape detection and deformation control. The riveting process of aircraft siding uses a robot and a flexible automated assembly system consisting of a robot vision system, a large gantry robot, a dedicated flexible process equipment, a fully automatic drilling and riveting machine and a coordinate measuring machine. In aircraft design and manufacturing, in order to shorten the production cycle, improve production quality, reduce product costs, accelerate product replacement, on the basis of computer networking, the use of CAD/CAM integration technology, to paperless design, digital pre-assembly, virtual manufacturing and parallel engineering and other latest technology development.

With the vigorous development of China's manufacturing industry, all walks of life urgently need to improve product quality and increase the automation level of production process through technological progress, which is an effective way to enhance the international competitiveness of enterprises. This exchange with the person in charge of the robot project of the National 863 Plan made it more clear that the Chamber of Commerce should strengthen the research on the domestic and international markets of robot products in the import and export industry of mechanical and electrical products, and should not only grasp the overall trend of importing key equipment, but also seize the opportunity to promote domestic robots to go to the world in great strides. To optimize the production rhythm of the sheet metal automation line, the following aspects can be considered:

- Process optimization: Analyze and optimize the production process, reduce unnecessary processes or steps, and improve production efficiency.
- Equipment upgrade: Consider replacing or upgrading production equipment, and choose higher speed and more accurate sheet metal processing equipment to improve production speed and quality.
- Increased degree of automation: Introduce more automated equipment and technologies, such as automatic feeding robots, automatic stacking systems, etc., to reduce manual intervention and improve production efficiency and stability.
- Optimize the material supply chain: cooperate with suppliers to ensure the timeliness and stability of material supply, and avoid production stagnation caused by material shortage or delay.
- Data analysis and optimization: Establish a data monitoring system to monitor and analyze the production process in real time, find production bottlenecks and problems, and take timely measures to optimize.
- Training and personnel management: Ensure that operators have sufficient technical and operational training to improve their work efficiency and quality awareness, and at the same time manage and deploy personnel reasonably to ensure the stable operation of the production line.
