What is the difference between domestic and imported brands of industrial robots?
In recent years, under the background of the gradual fading of the demographic dividend and the progress of science and technology, the demand for automation upgrading and machine substitution of Chinese manufacturing enterprises is increasing year by year.

In recent years, under the background of the gradual fading of the demographic dividend and the progress of science and technology, the demand for automation upgrading and machine substitution of Chinese manufacturing enterprises is increasing year by year. China, known as the world's factory, ranked in the world's industrial robot market in 2013, and accounted for more than one-third of global robot sales in 2017, and ranked first in the world for five consecutive years. China's huge demand has attracted a high degree of concentration and investment from global industrial robot manufacturers.
Although the domestic robot market demand by leaps and bounds, but the domestic market has been monopolized by foreign brands. It is undeniable that China's local robot enterprises started late and are still catching up with the international high-end level in terms of product function, accuracy and stability. The early Chinese industrial robot market was occupied by the "four families"(ABB, Fanaco, KUKA, Yaskawa), with two key factors: one is the control system, and the core components. For example, the harmonic reducer has been occupied by Japanese brands for a long time, and the price of the domestic manufacturers is several times higher than that of the "big four. Software systems are similar. Therefore, domestic robots have neither technical advantages nor cost advantages in the initial stage.
The progress of core components, the gap between local and imported robots is narrowing.
The degree of development of national industry also represents the development of national strength to a certain extent. Robotics and automation have become part of the national strategy. China's manufacturing 2025, the conversion of new and old kinetic energy, etc., provide good development opportunities for domestic robot companies. In recent years, domestic policies have been vigorously promoted, and industrial robots have begun to be widely used. The localization of production line transformation has enabled domestic robots to obtain a large number of practice and exploration opportunities from core technology, research and development of key components to complete machine manufacturing, and some enterprise top soldiers have emerged in various fields in the industrial chain.
In terms of the core technology of industrial robots, the hardware includes core components such as reducers and motors, and the rise of brands such as domestic harmonic reducers Suzhou Green. With the improvement of domestic robot market share and quality demand, the core component product technology is also constantly iterating. Its technology maturity is getting higher and higher, and the price is more transparent, which provides a lot of opportunities for the development of domestic robots.
It is undeniable that there are still differences between domestic parts and imports, but at present, this is not the key factor that hinders the quality of domestic robots to catch up. Because the mainstream suppliers of robot core components have been globalized, the purchase price difference between domestic and foreign robot manufacturers is gradually approaching. The cost of domestic robots and imported robots on the same quality hardware is almost at the same level.
The more important part is the controller and software algorithms, the brain of the industrial robot-the control system. The core key is the software algorithm. At present, there are a few robot manufacturers in China who have realized the independent research and development of high-performance control system. Ten years ago, ABB demonstrated the advanced technology of its robot motion control system through a video. The industrial robot moved quickly between several neatly arranged cans. The gap between the cans and the tool at the end of the robot was only 1mm. What is shocking is that the robot moves at high speed and precision, and will not hit the tank wall. For a long time, the mid-to-high-end market has been monopolized by imported brands, and domestic robot practitioners have also felt the dilemma of core technology being controlled by others.
It was not until the 2017 Shanghai Industrial Expo that this technology was reproduced by domestic robots. Luoshi robot self-developed control system, through the algorithm to achieve drag teaching, collision detection, compliance control and other functions, but also gives the industrial robot high-precision, high-speed, stable, collaborative performance. In recent years, more and more local enterprises focus on technology-driven, into the high-end market. The control technology of some domestic enterprises can already match the international level. With the continuous development of the industrial chain, the technology gap between domestic robot manufacturers and imported brands will become smaller and smaller.
