With an effort to continuously develop a technology in domestic robot industry, an international competitiveness of robot industry has increased higher. Yet such limitation has been pointed out that domestic robot industry highly depends upon overseas core robot parts. Without the technology independency and import substitute of core robot parts, it is difficult to dream of the advancement to a true powerful nation of robot industry.
For technology independency and import substitute, the government has been actively supporting the domestic production of core robot parts which have the weak industrial basis. It has been evaluated that The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and The Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement have promoted 'The Market Creation Type Robot Parts Supply Project, which largely contributes to the production of core domestic robot parts. This project substitutes the import core robot parts with high dependency on overseas and enhances the foreign competitiveness of domestic robot industry for finished product. The technology in robot parts shall be expanded to various rear industries of appliances, automobile, and machine industries to promote the improvement in the self generation of robot parts industry and the creation of a safe robot market.
This year, The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and The Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement plan actively for the domestic production of core robot parts by selecting The Bucheon Industry Promotion Foundation as a general institution. The supply project of robot parts selected in this year through public contest has a goal for the domestic production of four kinds of robot parts. These parts have had a high dependency on overseas parts. The development tasks for four types of robot parts are ▲ Quadruple axis driving module applicable to the process of manufacturing and inspection for small size precision parts ▲ driving module for gun barrel cleaning robot ▲ unmanned linear actuator with high output power and energy saving ▲ absolute encoder for robot position control.
The first development task is the supplying project of a quadruple axis driving module that is applicable to the process of manufacturing and inspection for the small size precision parts, which project is to substitute the import quadruple axis driving module from Fanuc of Japan with the domestic quadruple axis driving module. Hongjin Engineering and Robotro will compose of a consortium for the development of this project. Including governmental contribution, 250 million won fund and existing goods shall be invested. This project has a content such that the domestic quadruple axis driving module shall be improved to fit to the small precision vision examination system, and test beds shall be manufactured for the triple axis driving module performance test and the reliability verification test in order to evaluate the performance of quadruple axis driving module. Along with this, the project shall promote the performance of domestic quadruple axis driving module and the verification of its reliability, its domestic substitution by using test beds. Its domestic substitution from foreign quadruple axis is expected to result in effects of the reduction in import robot parts, the decrease in the import price of foreign robot system through domestic production, and the establishment of a smart factory through the active introduction of robots to the automated assembly and inspection facilities.
The second one to introduce is the supplying project of a driving module for gun bore cleaning robot. This project has a goal to substitute the DC planetary gear motor of SESAME company in Taiwan that has been applied to ‘Auto bore cleaner kit’ driving module, with the domestic sensorless BLDC planetary gear motor. HSG Motor Co., Ltd and Ecomotor Co., Ltd will compose of a consortium for the development, and its total invested project cost shall be 333 million won of funds and existing goods including governmental contribution. They will improve the domestic sensorless BLDC planetary gear motor (motor + planetary decelerator + driver) to fit to the driving part of gun barrel cleaning robot, and manufacture a performance tester to evaluate the performance of sensorless BLDC planetary gear motor and a reliability tester to evaluate reliability. In addition, under the same condition as the foreign DC planetary gear motor, they will promote the optimization through performance evaluation and performance improvement.
The application to the driving part of gun barrel cleaning robot shall be able to lead not only the domestic market but also the world market. It is expected to secure the competitiveness of national defense through the military supplies. This domestic planetary gear motor can be also used for the future artificial intelligence smart car rental.
The third one to introduce is the supplying project of unmanned high output power & energy saving linear actuator. This project is to substitute the rotary servo motor of German Pegasus that has been applied to UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) with the domestic linear servo motor. IR robot and Sungwoo Engineering will compose of a consortium for the development, and 200 million won of funds and existing goods shall be invested including governmental contribution.
Adapting to the demand of high reliability of unmanned aerial vehicle, they will improve the temperature characteristic of controller and the reliability of wear resistance of parts in driving system of vehicle; and to verify the wear resistance of servo and the durability of circuits at the actual driving and servo itself whether they could exceed 300 operation hours by mounting it on the actual unmanned aerial vehicle. It is expected to have an effect of import substitution by substituting a small size linear servo motor for unmanned aerial vehicle with a domestic servo, which currently depends entirely on foreign products. It seems that the project will help to secure the price competitiveness of domestic unmanned aerial vehicle. Especially, it is expected to contribute to the export expansion of unmanned aerial vehicles in the fields of private transportation, public transportation and military transportation.
The fourth one to introduce is the supplying project of absolute encoder for robot position control. The project is to substitute the high resolution optic encoder of Panasonic in Japan that has been applied to machine tools and robot driving modules with the domestic high resolution absolute type magnetic encoder. SEIN FLEX Co., Ltd and McSYS Co., Ltd will compose of a consortium for the development. Total 250 million won of funds and existing goods shall be invested including governmental contribution.
They will improve the domestic high resolution absolute type magnetic encoder to fit to the machine tools and driving modules for robots and manufacture a performance tester to evaluate the performance of high resolution absolute type magnetic encoder and a performance tester to evaluate the performance of AC servo motor for machine tools and robots. It will be possible to use this part for the encoder for future robot servo motor and for the application to various industrial groups. In addition, it can be utilized for the wheel sensor magnetic of automobile, and for the application to various fields of industrial machine tools.
If the present domestic production of four types of core robot parts would be successfully accomplished, the competitiveness of domestic robot industry should be more enhanced and the effect of import substitute of core parts should be largely expected. Especially, it seems that the core robot parts shall be applied widely to rear industry and industrial automation field. Thus, it is expected that the project shall contribute to the upgrade of the overall level of Korea's parts industry by one more level.
