In Jili's fully automated body welding workshop, hundreds of pairs of eyes are looking at two fully automatic CNC spot welding robots on the hoisting line.

Most of them were journalists, and their eyes were full of excitement.

"Swiss ABB", people who have not understood it will not be able to appreciate the weight of these words.

It was formed in 1988 by the merger of two international companies with a history of more than 100 years: ASEA of Sweden and BBC Bron Boveri of Switzerland.

In 2018, ABB ranked 246th in the Global 500;

ABB is a global leader in power and automation technology;

ABB operates in more than 100 countries, employs 130,000 people and generated annual sales of $40 billion last year.

ABB has invented and manufactured a wide range of products and technologies, including the world's first three-phase power transmission system;

The world's first self-cooled transformer, high-voltage DC transmission technology;

The first electric industrial robots and the first to put them into commercial applications, among others.

ABB's heritage is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Now, Tianyi, a company that has been established for only two years, actually wants to challenge a behemoth like ABB, which is even more incredible in the eyes of all reporters at the scene than Geely's unmanned driving test a few days ago.

A female reporter from the new blue network of Zhejiang TV asked her colleague in a low voice, "Hey, which one do you think will win?"

The bespectacled male reporter next to him had an excited expression on his face, "It's hard to say! Tianyi Technology's R&D level is too perverted, as far as I know, their company has more than 200 patented inventions that have reached the international top level;

However, ABB started as an industrial company and has a very deep heritage.

You look at this curved arm CNC robot, it adopts the most advanced transmission structure assembly in the world, and the big arm and small arm are installed in the harmonic gears in the cavities on the left and right sides;

The crank arm and the small arm are connected into a whole by the linkage, and the rigidity of the overall structure is improved by designing the big arm, the small arm, the curved arm and the connecting rod into an integral frame structure, and the stability of the CNC robot is also improved.

Let me tell you this, if the traditional CNC welding robot can maintain an overclocking of 15% for two hours without the servo machine crashing,

This kind of curved arm CNC robot can be overclocked by 40% and work continuously for 72 hours, and the two are not at the same level at all. ”

After the male reporter finished speaking, he said with heartfelt emotion: "This is the crystallization of real technology! We don't know when China will be able to build it?"

The female reporter next to him asked him which one could win, and who knew that this male reporter had a long speech.

While speechless, he couldn't help but say: "Listening to your amazing blowing, wouldn't that Tianyi lose the day?"

"I didn't say that. ”

The male reporter didn't say it, but he really thought that Tianyi had little chance of winning.

............

At this time, on the two assembly lines, the spot welding CNC robot has been fully debugged.

Roy Terry, president of ABB Greater China, was whispering something to the engineer, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the Chinese man on the assembly line opposite, sneering.

He has long heard of Tianyi, and he started by hyping AR augmented reality, and he went to integrate sensors halfway;

Sensors are working on carbon nanotransistors again.

It's not over there, and I'm running to tinker with unmanned driving.

Well, unmanned driving has just been measured, and I will turn around and engage in industrial robots.

Whether he's really talented or not, Roy Terry can see that this guy is just a-stirring stick, stirring around and playing the next field with what he thinks is a pungent aroma.

Today, Roy Terry let him know the difference between professional and amateur.

After Lin Shufu and other two engineers finished debugging, they gave instructions to the staff, and the body welding line more than two meters wide began to start slowly.

Soon, the body of an SUV stopped under the CNC spot welding robot, and the two engineers responsible for starting it also stood next to the equipment.

All reporters at the scene turned on their video equipment and wore goggles.

"Game on!"

Both engineers pressed the start button at the same time.

"Hiss-hiss-hiss-"

"Sneer—"

The mechanical arm is flying in the air, and the graceful movements like flowing clouds are breathtaking, and the electric spark also shines rhythmically with the operation of the spot welding robot.

"Hiss-"

With the multi-point single-wire welding robot, after pulling out a long electric spark, the first car body has been welded in 33 seconds.

The curved arm welding robot of ABB in Switzerland is obviously a step behind, taking 45 seconds.

But the game has just begun.

The assembly line starts, and the next SUV body comes in.

"Hiss-hiss-hiss-"

"Sneer—"

The multi-point welding robot, two thick mechanical arms flying up and down in the air, with tacit understanding, while the opposite curved arm welding robot, because there is only one arm, appears to be alone, and even the momentum is weaker.

"Sneer—"

The gap came out after 15 minutes.

At the time of starting the assembly line, Tianyi has already begun to weld the fifth car, while the fourth car of ABB in Switzerland has just begun.

Roy Terry, who was full of confidence before the start, was about to drip out of his gloomy face at this time, and asked the engineer next to him in a low voice: "Can you hurry up more?"

"It's already in the state of overclocking, if it continues to speed up, the server is prone to problems, and the quality is ......"

Roy Terry gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about the quality. Their multi-point welding itself is sacrificing quality, and we will not be worse than them. ”

This is a game that ABB or Roy Terry must not lose.

Originally, he planned to let domestic customers see the strength of ABB through the competition, so that it would be easier to do business in East Asian countries.

But now he has some regrets in his heart, and it is good to say that if he wins, once he loses, it will be a big blow to ABB robots.

As the first company in the world to develop electric industrial robots, it is unforgivable to lose to China, a weak country in the robot industry.

What's more, he patted his chest to the board of directors before and promised that he would definitely win.

Once he loses, the old guys on the board probably have the heart to kill him.

At Roy Terry's behest, the curved arm robot was overclocked and welded again.

In the burst of sparks, the speed has indeed increased again.

But it didn't work.

The gap between the two sides is still falling.

Ten cars were welded, and after deducting the moving time of the assembly line, the total time of Tianyi multi-point welding robot was 5 minutes and 5 seconds;

ABB claims to be the most advanced curved arm welding robot, which takes 7 minutes and 3 seconds.

Faced with this number, everyone at the scene showed an expression of disbelief;

The four referees, including those from the International Federation of Robotics, were also dumbfounded.

"This ...... Did ABB release the water on purpose?"

"What are you kidding, there are so many reporters present, isn't it smashing your own signboard when you release water? ”

And the reporters at the scene were so excited that they were almost high, and while recording this scene with a camera, they even thought about tomorrow's news headlines.

"China's robotics technology shocked the world!"

"Tianyi Robot kills Swiss ABB Robot in seconds. ”

"Peak duel! Tianyi Robot uses its strength to tell you, who is the king of robots?"

Roy Terry said with a dark face: "Speed is not the key, quality is the most important criterion to measure the quality of a product." ”

Danny Bessimo, a referee from Finland, echoed, "Yes, I also think quality is the most important thing. ”

There are three welding inspection methods.

visual inspection;

radiography;

Non-destructive ultrasonic flaw detection;

The four referees first tested the car welded by Tianyi.

There may be deviations or artificial biases in visual inspection, but under the ultrasonic detector, it is clear at a glance whether the welding process causes damage to the body steel, and even fraud cannot be done.

After testing, Tianyi's multi-point welded cars are all in line with international standards.

Roy Terry exclaimed, "No way. At such a fast speed, how can there be no damage, you must be mistaken. ”

The four panelists of the Robotics Association all had helpless expressions, "Director Terry, this is a fact. Our equipment is all brought from abroad, and there is no room for error. ”

Roy Terry stopped talking.

With so many reporters on the scene, he can't be too rude, and it's ABB's people who lose it like that.

Lin Shufu, who had been waiting at the scene, was very happy when he heard the result, and patted Han Yi on the shoulder again and again, "Xiao Han, it's amazing!"

Han Yi smiled and didn't speak.

The referee team over there began to inspect ABB's welded body.

The first few cars are good, and they all meet international welding standards.

But from the fifth car onwards, there was a certain degree of damage to the body steel.

This is due to temperature instability caused by overclocking.

A total of two vehicles were found to be damaged.

Hearing this result, Roy Terry and the engineers on ABB's side all had embarrassed expressions.

I didn't get it in the face, but I was slapped in the face, which was a shame.

And the reporters at the scene were even more excited.

Nima's, the double king of speed and quality, is a bunker!
