Seventeen sets of new 210kg SRD210B servo spot welding robot, independently developed by Shenyang SIASUN Robot and Automation Co., Ltd. (SIASUN), were delivered toFAW Car Co. Ltd. recently, signaling that homemade robots have broken the technological blockage of overseas automobile production lines, and becoming the main force in China’s automobile production.

Researchers of SIASUN have overcome the difficulties in mechanical system optimal design and motion stability control of high-speed and heavy load industrial robots, and realized good overall reliability and sound human-computer interaction of the new 210kg SRD 210B servo point welding robot. In July this year, the new robot participated in the 2012 China International Robot Show in Shanghai, and became a spotlight among strong competitors from home and abroad.

FAW Car Co. Ltd. is a share-holding subsidiary of the China First Automotive Works (FAW) Group, a leading state-owned automotive corporation based in China’s northern city of Changchun, Jilin Province. The company has an annual production volume of over 200,000 vehicles, and can perform hybrid production of switching between three vehicle platforms and six vehicle types. On the production line, the time of vehicle type switching needs only 8 seconds. Intelligent vehicle type switching on the main assembling and welding bench, intelligent high-speed transmission and body-in-white distributed testing and intelligent diagnosis can be realized in the production line of the company. Currently, it plays a leading role in general technological strength domestically.

Established in 2000, SIASUN is the first commercial company of Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Its leading industries include robot and advanced manufacturing equipment, new energy equipment, petroleum and petrochemical equipment, and special equipment.
