Speaking of harmonic reducers, robots are not familiar with practitioners. Over the years, the core parts of the robot, which sometimes have a big hand, have been monopolized by foreign brands for a long time, and the total cost of about 30% of the robot has been occupied. This reality has also pushed up the cost of domestic robot applications objectively.
Now in Dongguan Songshan Lake, Dongguan Bob robot development and Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the" bot ") after several years of research and development and exploration, the first harmonic reducer in the city to realize the localization. According to Ruan Jingwen, the chairman of the robot, the domestic harmonic reducer, developed by the enterprise, has been formally put into production before the Spring Festival in 2016. Compared with the similar products of foreign brands, it has not only a clear price advantage, but also the stability of the product has been gradually approved by the market.

Self entrepreneurship aiming at robot application pain point

As the early layout and development of the area of the robot industry in China, Songshan Lake (Ecological Park) has accelerated the accumulation of high quality enterprises from the upstream and downstream of the robot industry in the past two years by building a perfect industrial innovation ecological circle. Now, three robot industrial agglomeration areas have been built. The run robot is one of the many come to the presence of the enterprises.

Ruan Jingwen and Xiong Jiapeng are the two founders of Ben run robot. According to Xiong Jiapeng, in the early years, he and Ruan Jingwen both in Dongguan Yangming Precision Plastic Hardware Electronics Co., Ltd. worked. At the same time, Xiong Jiapeng is the head of the factory automation department, Ruan Jingwen is the vice chairman of the factory, belongs to the upper and lower relations.

In 2006, with the support of Tan general and vice chairman Nguyen, chairman of Yangming company, Xiong Jiapeng began to start his own business by relying on Yangming's resource platform, and engaged in the development, manufacture and solution of automation equipment.

This change made Xiong Jiapeng accumulate much experience in automation technology, and gradually led him to the research and development field of robot core components. Xiong Jiapeng said that at that time, the object of his service was mainly to make automatic matching equipment and program services for NOKIA project. With the deepening of cooperation, he found that automation has its bottleneck of development, and is increasingly unable to adapt to the flexible production trend of Global trade with less quantity and less. In the end, Chinese manufacturing will eventually move towards intelligent manufacturing represented by robots. In 2011, seeing more and less orders from traditional large customers, the traditional automation equipment has begun to transform into robotics integration automation. In this trend, Xiong Jiapeng is determined to upgrade the company and aim at the field of industrial robots that have not been fully developed in fashion. At this time, Ruan Jingwen, from the increase in the cost of factory workers, realized that the upgrading of automation can improve the competitiveness of the market for the company, as well as the broad prospects for the development of the robot industry. A Xiong Jiapeng and Ruan Jingwen work Yu Xiaoju, Xiong Jiapeng told the development plan of his company to Ruan Jingwen, Ruan Jingwen encouraged Xiong Jiapeng to develop orientation to the core technology, the harmonic decelerator which has been high in price for many years as an independent research and development direction, hoping to produce a quality and cheap country. Instead of importing products, more Chinese manufacturing enterprises can use industrial robots at lower cost.

Do all the research and development in the dorm

In 2012, Ben run robot was formally established, and recruited a R & D production team of more than 10 people. Unlike most of the business model selected by the core parts and components of the robot, we have divided the core business into two pieces early in the beginning of the establishment, one is the domestic research and development of the harmonic reducer and the other is the integration of the intelligent manufacturing equipment application system.

"We are from the manufacturing industry. We know that theory always needs the guidance of practice, so in the process of R & D, it is necessary to keep in close contact with the market and practice through system integration, so that what is developed can meet the needs of actual production, and the system integration can bring income and profit to the enterprise. It can also be used to support R & D investment and reduce the risk of entrepreneurial failure. Ruan Jingwen told reporters that before they started their business, they had prepared for the difficulties of technological innovation, but did not expect it to be so difficult. Judging from the difficulties experienced by technological tackling, the setting of this mode really brings great impetus to the development of Ben run robot.

The prototype of the first harmonic reducer developed by the robot was made in 2013. At that time, in order to avoid the leakage of technology, the R & D team moved the production of the prototype from the workshop to the employee's dorm, but the effect made them disappointed. No matter the stability, accuracy and service life of robots, they are far from what they imagined.

In the next two years, the robot R & D team has long been unable to remember how many samples have gone through the loss, and as the R & D deepening, the R & D investment has also increased rapidly, the fund has already been used up, and the money sold by the system integrated equipment has also been put in, to the end, Ruan Jingwen and Xiong Jia Peng base Ben has invested all his achievements in the past decades.

Suitable for labor intensive enterprises

Fortunately, the R & D of harmonic reducer is a breakthrough in before they run out of ammunition and food supplies. By visiting the authority of the robotics industry at home and abroad, and combining the market feedback of the enterprise intelligent equipment application, they found the key breakthrough to restrict the industrial research and development, and successfully developed the first harmonic reducer product for production in 2015.

In the new office building in the robot industry gathering area of Songshan Lake, Ruan Jingwen showed reporters the innovative achievements they had developed.

"Do not see this reducer only a big palm, a few weight, but the technology content is very high, the Japanese manufacturers to buy at least 8000 yuan one, according to a six axis robot calculation, the need to buy 6, cost nearly 50 thousand yuan, and a common six axis robot other parts of the price is only seventy thousand or eighty thousand yuan, visible deceleration. The cost of the robot is high. "

Ruan Jingwen told reporters that their research and development decelerator is currently mainly used for small and medium sized robots under six and six axes, which are more suitable for electronic information manufacturing, toys and other industries represented by mobile phones. Earlier, the speed reducer Market in this field was mainly occupied by Japanese and other foreign brands. Compared with the speed reducer, the speed reducer, operating stability, noise control and service life also reached the same standard in the speed, stability, noise control and life of the reducer. Taking the service life as an example, the lifetime of the products currently tested by Ben run robot can reach 20 thousand to 30 thousand hours.

Ruan Jingwen revealed that the harmonic reducer of the robot was formally put into market by the end of 2015. Because it was suitable for small and medium labor-intensive enterprises to realize short cycle return, the market order increased rapidly. Only in the last month, hundreds of orders from Zhongshan, Dongguan and other places were received. It is estimated that in 2016, driven by the core product of harmonic reducer, the revenues and profits of enterprises will achieve substantial growth.
