On August 3, 2022, Zhou Guangxing, deputy general manager of STEP and general manager of Robotics Division, was invited to attend the 2022 (5th) High-Level Industrial Robot Integrators Association and deliver the keynote speech "Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions Led by PAC".Share STEP's core technology advantages of PAC, servo, frequency conversion, motor, encoder and other motion control and industrial robots, and empower partners with leading intelligent manufacturing solutions in multiple market segments.
Zhou Guangxing pointed out that with the introduction of intelligent manufacturing in more and more segmented industries, system integrators are facing the dilemma of diverse application scenarios and difficult process realization, which urgently needs the support of motion control and robot core technology. At the same time, domestic substitution is going into the deep water, and companies like STEP, which master the core technology of motion control and industrial robots, are beginning to show their market advantage. PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) is the key to the solution, with servo, motor, encoder, human-machine interface, SCARA, six axis robot combined with the production line, to meet the flexible production requirements.
"It is STEP's relentless pursuit of technological innovation that keeps us at the forefront of the industry," Zhou said. In particular, STEP has made a major technological breakthrough in robot dynamics algorithm, which increases the tempo of the robot by up to 30% and makes the robot run more stably. Using low-frequency vibration suppression technology, the robot has a longer life, has been the first in the industry through the MTBF20,000-hour certification; Autonomous path planning without teaching can realize the intelligent and easy use of robot. The performance of STEP robot has realized the parallel running with international brands, among which the palletizing robot beat 1200 bags/hour, full load, full speed, still can maintain the excellent characteristics of low operation noise, high operation stability. After 12 years of market validation, STEP 46-axis industrial robot has formed a total of 45 products with a load range of 3kg to 600kg.
In terms of robot manufacturing, STEP robot Gigafactory realizes robot manufacturing. Its high-precision assembly capacity, high-level raw materials and factory inspection can effectively guarantee the high quality of robot products. Currently, the factory, together with the Shenzhen plant, has an annual capacity of 20,000 units. This year, in the market environment where foreign brands are out of stock and the availability of goods is competitive, STEP targets the lithium industry, and the delivery time of many heavy-duty robot products is 30 days, helping the capacity expansion of high-growth industries.
In cooperation with integration strategy, STEP and be familiar with the user application scenario and key technology of integrators cooperation, PAC leading intelligent manufacturing solutions, to provide users with high efficiency, easy to use solution, develop the customer together, in the timing of the necessary capital power, signed long-term strategic cooperation, build ecosystem, bigger and stronger together. At present, it has taken the lead in the market segments of lithium electricity, photovoltaic, 3C, steel structure and rubber tires.

The lithium battery market shows high growth and is stepping into the TWh era. The continuous acceleration of lithium battery technology iteration and different module design structures have put forward higher requirements for lithium battery production automation. Based on rich motion control, robot product matrix, technology and service advantages, STEP can provide automatic solutions for lithium battery industry from coater, winding machine, laminator, die-cutting machine and other equipment to production line and factory.
In the rubber tire industry, STEP has completed the expansion from the first brand of mixer frequency converter to the leader of the rubber tire laser lettering industry. With SR series six-axis robot as the core, STEP is an intelligent solution for laser lettering of tires created by Zhongce Rubber and other enterprises, which eliminates the phenomenon of cycle brand overflow, reduces the repair rate and improves the product quality. Completely bid farewell to the cycle brand, steel ticket process caused by material, labor and error correction costs, improve the use of vulcanizing machine, achieve cost reduction and efficiency; It can automatically interact with the production MES system, automatically generate data, open up the MES and WMS system, and improve the digital and intelligent level of tire manufacturing.
In the industry of power tower and construction steel structure, we provide STEP arc welding robot workstation, which can realize automatic welding of workpiece in small batch by robot laser guidance and parametric programming. At present, we have won the recognition of leading enterprises in the industry.
