[Interview with Bokent Robotics] Expanding more application scenarios of parallel robots with direct drive technology and new force control technology

From September 19 to 23, the 23rd China International Industry Fair (hereinafter referred to as "CIIE") was grandly held at the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center. The theme of this CIIE is "Carbon Recycling New Industry, Digital Aggregation New Economy". As a "technology feast" that has returned after a three-year absence, the scale, level and number of new exhibits are the largest in the history of CIIE, attracting more than 2,600 companies from 27 countries and regions around the world to participate.

During the exhibition, Fu Jian, the sales director of Bekent Robotics, accepted an exclusive interview with Veken.com and introduced the innovation and product advantages of the new robot to us. He also gave a detailed interpretation of the future development of the industrial robot industry and how Bekent can leverage its own advantages to meet future challenges and opportunities.

Founded in 2017, Bekent (Zhenjiang) Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology-based enterprise integrating industrial robots and high-speed and high-precision automation solutions. Relying on its own technical reserves, the company has successively completed the research and development and marketing of parallel robots, serial-parallel hybrid robots, SCARA robots, BeMotion controllers and wireless teaching pendants, becoming a company with a full range of parallel and serial-parallel hybrid robot products.

Bokent Robotics takes technology research and development as the guide, constantly explores the optimization and innovation solutions of robot structure, control and visual algorithm, and has accumulated dozens of national patents. In terms of the performance of the body's quasi-beat speed, repeated positioning clarity, arm span range, and end flexibility, it has redefined the new standards in the industry, pioneered the application of motion teaching and wireless teaching pendants in the parallel and hybrid fields, and pushed the development of robots in the field of human-machine interaction to a new peak.

At present, Bokent robots have been recognized in the applications of material sorting and packaging, palletizing and boxing, production assembly, precision measurement, and precision positioning in the food, medicine, logistics, daily chemicals, 3C and new resource industries, and have established long-term and stable cooperative relationships with many internationally renowned companies. In particular, the company's after-sales service tenet of "2-hour response, 24-hour arrival, and 72-hour problem solving" has been actively affirmed by customers.

1. What are the innovations and competitiveness of the new parallel robot introduced this time?

The biggest innovation of this new product is the use of direct drive technology and new force control technology. Direct drive technology reduces the number of robot structural parts, allowing the robot to have better high-speed and high-precision performance, while reducing the robot's energy consumption. The new force control technology makes the drag teaching function the first in the parallel robot industry. Before this, drag teaching could only be achieved on collaborative robots .

At the same time, the new force control technology enables the robot to have collision perception capabilities, greatly increasing the safety of the robot. In the past, parallel robots needed to be placed on a large rack to ensure safety. Now that the new product has collision perception capabilities, the robot can achieve open operation, which has more application scenarios and improves the safety of operators.

2.What advantages does the direct drive system bring to the robot?

The direct drive system is a system where the active load is directly connected to the motor, eliminating the reducer link, changing the original working mode of the motor's forward and reverse rotation, and making the transmission structure simpler. The advantage of this design is that the simple structure will improve the durability and stability of the robot. At the same time, due to the reduction of internal connectors, the energy consumption in the intermediate process is reduced, and the energy utilization rate is improved accordingly.

3. What is the future development direction of robots? How does Bokent respond?

Artificial intelligence technology is evolving at an unimaginable speed, and the development of industrial robots will certainly keep pace with intelligence. The next generation of robots will integrate AI and machinery more, and can be empowered by AI, big data, etc., making robots more precise and easier to maintain.

As a manufacturer that has been deeply involved in the parallel robot field for many years, Bekent will continue to build competitiveness in the parallel robot field in which it excels, and leave the stage for other sub-segments to other partners. In terms of product lines, Bekent will also adhere to the consistent route, continue to develop parallel robots with different arm spans for different application scenarios, and gradually cover the full scene application of industrial manufacturing.
