Along with the continued promotion of the Internet of Things, the industrial Internet of Things when the storm clouds, more driven by the development of sensors. At the technical level, the sensor, which bears the heavy responsibility of data collection and transmission, is developing in the direction of intelligence, miniaturization, integration, networking, multi-function and low power consumption through the guidance of the Internet of Things. So, which industries are the key to trigger the application of industrial sensors for automation?
1. Automotive Manufacturing: Position detection for high-precision sensors in high demand
In addition to the configuration of sensing systems for automobiles, the application of sensors in the automotive manufacturing process has long been nothing new. In the automation process of automobile production, the position detection of parts has become an important part of sensor application, and is also the most demanding part of the sensor. To meet the high precision detection, high-precision sensors have been widely used in the automotive parts processing, engine manufacturing, stamping, painting, welding, assembly and other automated production of the whole car factory in a variety of position detection.
2. Electronics Manufacturing Industry: Vision sensors to meet the high-precision detection
In order to meet the rapidly developing market demand of the electronics manufacturing industry, the electronics manufacturing industry has applied industrial sensors in large quantities to comprehensively improve the overall production capacity. In the production line of electronics manufacturing, whether it is robot assembly, or electronic components inspection, are inseparable from the application of vision sensing equipment. At the same time, industry insiders believe that vision sensors will also become a sharp edge to cut into the smart manufacturing.
3.Industrial Robots: The future will require more micro and small sensors
In recent years, machine replacement has become a craze, and the industrial robot market has exploded. In order to improve the robot's ability to adapt and detect the operating environment in a timely manner, a large number of sensing devices are applied to the robot. These sensors improve the robot's working conditions and enable it to complete complex work more adequately.
In a robot, tactile sensors, visual sensors, force sensors, ultrasonic sensors and auditory sensors are integrated, and each of them has a clear division of labor to ensure that the robot can work properly as humans do. In addition, as robots tend to be miniaturized, sensor installation space is even more limited, so the application of robots will require more micro and small sensors in the future.
