stamping
When Apple's early iPhone4 came out, the metal body's gorgeous texture and high-quality touch were praised by the industry. The metal body became a technology trend. In the past two years, the appearance of ceramic and glass casing has reduced the mobile phone to some extent. The metalworking process in the manufacturing process, but as a stable and reliable frame structure is still the first choice for the metal frame process.
In the process of metal frame processing, the metal stamping process is indispensable. In the early stage of the industry, the metal stamping process was manually controlled by a stamping machine. At present, the stamping line of mobile phone casings composed of stamping robots has been popularized in the industry.

Grinding and polishing
The metal casing obtained by the stamping process needs to be further surface-treated by grinding and polishing to reduce the surface roughness of the workpiece to obtain a bright, flat surface. The polishing process of the mobile phone case is mainly mechanical polishing, and the method of using CNC machining takes up the main part. The automatic polishing by industrial robot is also one of the polishing processes.

Spraying
The spraying process exists in the era of mobile phone plastic casing. In addition to the mobile phone casing, the notebook computer casing, the toy casing and the casing of the household appliance have been painted by a large number of surfaces. Spraying provides a variety of brilliant color effects for the phone case (including the protective case) to meet consumers' increasingly demanding appearance requirements.

Assembly
Mobile phone assembly is the final step in the product forming process. Mobile phone assembly is not only a labor-intensive industry but also a technology-intensive industry. The production line of hundreds of processes and the large number of assembled employees, Foxconn, BBK, Huawei and other mobile phone assembly plants are tens of thousands of people. The workers of 10,000 people have caused problems in management and difficulty in recruiting workers. Foxconn has been seeking machine substitutions for a long time, and its millions of robot factories in the early years have been famous.

The robots in the assembly process of mobile phones are mostly light-duty, multi-joint, SCARA, and Cartesian coordinates. They also have high requirements for anti-static and dust-free environments.
Solder In the mobile phone industry chain, the welding process is widely used in the process of motherboard soldering, FPC soldering (liquid crystal screen, motherboard, etc.), cable welding, etc. In the mobile phone industry chain, the soldering process is generally called solder, which is related to soldering operations. Robots are also known as solder robots.
The soldering process is to ensure that the two independent electronic devices are connected to each other. The soldering process needs to ensure the soldering effect. In addition to the appearance, it is necessary to ensure the connection stability in terms of connectivity, and there is no possibility of leakage soldering and poor connection. Traditional manual welding not only has uneven welding quality, but also requires a lot of manpower. It is also one of the goals of major manufacturers to gradually explore the artificial replacement of the soldering process.

At present, there are fewer multi-joint industrial robots for soldering, and SCARA robots and desktop robots are the mainstream.
Dispensing
Dispensing technology is widely used in the electronics industry represented by the mobile phone industry. Dispensing can play the role of adhesion, sealing and connection. In the process of dispensing, due to the fluid characteristics of the glue, there are problems such as uneven glue, overflow of glue, and incomplete sealing of glue. The industry has introduced an automatic dispensing equipment based on the glue machine.
Similar to solder robots, dispensers are desktop-type Cartesian robots.

Hit the screw
The basis of the mobile phone screwing robot is also the desktop robot. The screwing robot is formed by adding a screwing tool at the end of the desktop robot.

The screwing process mainly exists in the assembly of the mobile phone, and is the main means for achieving a firm connection between the mobile phone motherboard and the middle frame.
AGV
In the mobile phone industry, the automatic guided trolley (AGV) is mainly used for material handling of production lines and is one of the important equipments that constitute the production line logistics. The application of AGV in the mobile phone industry is relatively early. At present, mainstream AGV manufacturers have material handling solutions for the mobile phone industry chain.

In addition to material handling on the production line, such as PCB manufacturing, material handling in storage, etc. is also an important application of AGV in the mobile phone industry chain.
Clean robot
Cleanliness is very important for the mobile phone industry, especially the chip and panel industry upstream of mobile phones. The lack of cleanliness will have a significant impact on the yield of these products. Therefore, there is a need in the clean room for robots that work in clean spaces.

Clean robots are often used for wafer handling in the semiconductor industry and panel handling in the panel industry.
Logistics
Logistics is usually a part of the industry that is neglected by the industry. However, the cost is to remove energy and one of the highest places outside the factory. Effectively reducing logistics costs is also important for corporate efficiency.
In the logistics process, industrial robots are widely used in the logistics of loading and unloading, unpacking/packing, sorting, sorting, paste accessories, firewood/stacking. Among them, AGV and multi-joint industrial robots have more application cases.
The logistics sorting robot once fired on the Internet. As a representative of China's scientific and technological progress, it once landed on the CCTV promotional film. In Jingdong's internal logistics sorting process, the final sorting process represented by mobile phone products used the program.

In addition to logistics sorting, similar to the mobile phone delivery process, the process of frequent unpacking, unpacking, packing, and ordering has also appeared in the multi-joint industrial robot.
At present, the main application of industrial robots and the automotive industry, as the automotive industry's demand for industrial robots slows down, in the future, industrial robot manufacturers will turn their attention to the 3C electronics field with more development potential, and the mobile phone industry will be in the 3C electronics industry. The main application areas of industrial robots.
