Secondary Development and Application of Industrial Robot in Battery Typesetting System
[Purposes]In the production process of photovoltaic cell strings,due to the changing market demand for different packaging forms and product specifications,the production line needs to be ad-justed frequently,and the robot needs to be reprogrammed,resulting in a decrease in production effi-ciency.Therefore,the research and development of a robotic typesetting software system for photovoltaic cell modules will effectively realize the process optimization and benefit improvement of intelligent manufacturing.[Methods]Based on the Visual Studio platform,the secondary development of ABB in-dustrial robots was carried out,and the secondary development method provided by the robot manufac-turer was used to realize the information interaction and control between the PC desktop and the robot.This paper will provide intelligent solutions based on the problems encountered in the actual project of photovoltaic cell strings.Through the simulation software provided by the robot manufacturer,a digital simulation workstation is built,and the industrial APP is developed by using C#language programming methods,and the solution to the problem is displayed on the PC desktop through the software.[Findings]The content of the article focuses on the development of industrial APP to realize functions including start-up and monitoring,typesetting adjustment,production data and monitoring,preventive mainte-nance,event logs,data backup,etc.Finally,the software was packaged and the co-simulation worksta-tion was tested.The intelligent typesetting of battery strings with different process requirements was per-fectly solved through the secondary development of APP,which was simple to operate,effectively reduc-ing the difficulty of operator debugging and reducing the operator's on-duty time.[Conclusions]Based on the Visual Studio platform,the secondary development of ABB industrial robots can greatly improve productivity,reduce costs and increase efficiency for enterprises.
