Applications of Energy Components

There are many jobs in industries like manufacturing, agriculture, entertainment, etc. which require boring monotonous work that also requires a lot of precision. In such situations, robots are better suited than humans because they are precise, intelligent, and don’t get bored like humans! Because of these advantages, there are many applications of robots in almost all the industries you can imagine. But let’s see the top applications in these 8 industries now.

3d printed robots

Security

Imagine if all the security guards are robots. Even thieves would be scared! That’s why robots are being proposed as security agents as they can protect humans, and they wouldn’t be in danger like human security guards would be. These robots can help with crimes such as armed robberies, burglaries, domestic violence, fraud, hit, and runs, etc.

3d printed cars

Space Exploration

There are many things in space that are very dangerous for astronauts to do. Humans can’t roam on Mars all day to collect soil samples or work on repairing a spaceship from the outside while it’s in deep space! In these situations, robots are a great choice because there are no chances for the loss of human life then. For example, Mars Rover is an autonomous robot that travels on Mars.

3d printed hand

Agriculture

Agriculture is the sector that is the basis of human civilization. These include seeding, weed control, harvesting, etc. Robots are usually used for harvesting the crops which allow farmers to be more efficient.

Health Care

Robots have changed healthcare a lot. And all for the better! They can help doctors in performing operations more precisely, be used as prosthetic limbs, provide therapy to patients, etc. The possibilities are limitless.

3d printed planter

Food Preparation

Don’t want to cook? Don’t worry, there are robots that even can cook and create complete meals for you! These robot chefs can create food using hundreds of different recipes. All humans need to do is choose the recipe they want and provide the robot with pre-packaged containers of all the ingredients that are needed for that recipe.

3d printed food

Manufacturing

There are many repetitive and common tasks in the manufacturing industry that don’t require any usage of the mind like welding, assembly, packing, etc. These tasks can be easily done by robots while leaving the mentally challenging and creative tasks to humans. This option is also best for the manufacturing processes that are dangerous and may be harmful to humans.

3d printed robots

Military

Robots also have many applications in the military. They can be used as drones to keep surveillance on the enemy, they can also be used as armed systems to attack.

3d printed jewelry

Instant adjustment

Rapid prototyping eliminates production time and costs, which allows multiple changes to be made during execution. Designers can produce physical representations of products and make changes at different manufacturing stages due to faster and cheaper adjustments.

Improving Robotic Surfaces: Surface Treatment Techniques

Prototyping enables designers to make similar models of actual items. It's easier to spot and fix some bugs before an actual project comes out.

Fast

Rapid prototyping is there for a reason. In minutes, you can have a physical model of your product design and adjust for changes. This saves a lot of time which can be spent mastering the project.

Robotics Manufacturing FAQs

San-E can make minor and major components for robotic applications and custom end-uses. Our production solutions can be leveraged to making fundamental parts, specialty components, aesthetic fittings, mechanical, and even prosthetic end-effector for varying functions.

  • CNC Machining

We use 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC machines to carry out turning and milling operations that make robotic parts with complex geometries, high precision, tight tolerances, and excellent finishes.

  • Sheet metal fabrication

Sheet metal forming is popular for processing aluminum, steel, and titanium sheets into prototypes and precision parts that work in direct applications.

  • 3D Printing

San-E uses 3D printing to make quick prototypes and complex low-volume (1-100) units of parts and components for all types of robots.

  • Vacuum casting

We use vacuum casting to make low volume product for plastics parts of robots. This is similar to injection mold, but quickly and low cost.

Materials meant for manufacturing robotic parts and components must be strong, durable, corrosion, fire and heat resistant. Because robots usually function in assembly lines, medical industries, and processing operations that require high repeatability, the materials for production must be carefully selected to ensure that it meets quality standards and withstands harsh application environments. Here are some of the materials we use for robotic part production:
  • Natural andsynthetic rubber
  • Aluminum
  • Titanium
  • Brass
  • Nickel
  • Copper
  • Stainless steel
  • Anodizing
  • Parts can be immediately anodized to improve their corrosion resistance.
  • Polishing
  • probiotic parts and components can be polished to add the luster and shine that exudes quality and a premium feel.
  • Black Oxide/ Blackening
  • The blackening process utilizes black oxide to deliver enhanced rust protection. The process works by creating a conversion coating that works to isolate the air and protect your project.
  • Passivation
  • Our passivation process is one of the best available in the industry. We use high quality passivation methods to add a light coat of protective material, such as a metal oxide, to provide a shell against corrosion on your project. Other Spray painting Powder coating Electroplating Custom
