It looks like that the industrial world will use more and more
industrial robot to improve the productivity, the qulity and to help
people to do the dangerous tasks.
But still some one want to know more details :why use and how to
chosse an industrial robot?

Bruce, this seems like a strange question. You've repeated it and made
similar posts over the past couple months. It looks like a homework
question, so I'm nost surprised you haven't gotten many responses.

You can't explain how to choose an industrial robot until you know why
you want to use one. You've already listed the reasons why to use one
- productivity or protection rom dangerous tasks. You might add
consistency, repeatability, accuracy, or any one of a dozen other
concerns associated with manufacturing, since industrial robots are
almost exclusively used in production.

What other answer are you looking for?

Thank you for your kindly reply. Randy.
yes.I know some reasons why we must use industrial robot.I also ask
this question to some of my friends who works for industrial robot
company,and their answer is that "the robot can do what a human can
not do." Yes.It is exactly right.
And this is not a homework question,I posted this question just want
to know what you guys think about this question? And you may have some
other special views about it.

Perhaps you'd like an example.

In the early 1980's Rockwell Int. was making gyros for nuclear
submarines. These electrostatically levatated beryllium spheres had to
be incredibly round and smooth, and any impurities left on them would
cause the field to discharge. So they had to be extremely clean as
well.

They tried to use clean room techniques with humans, but they just
weren't getting them clean. The very fact that they were humans
involved introduced the dirty they were trying to remove. For
instance, even the rubber gloves would sluff off particles during
handling.

So they built a small robot to do the cleaning. It would pick up the
lower case assembly in its grippers, and methodically swing it under a
stream of solvent, then set it down. Then the rotor ball, do the same,
set it down, and regrip at a different angle, and clean again, then
place in the lower cup. Then the upper cup was cleaned and placed over
the assembly.

The end result was with a human, and 24-hours effort to clean, about
30% passed inspection and became operational. With the robot, the
process took less than 20 minutes, and was near 100% perfect. Rockwell
chose to use an industrial robot for its repeatability, its
reliability, and its ability to be where humans should not be.

It is a good example to explain why we choose industrial robot. Thank
you!! Randy.
