Midea Industrial Technology High Performance Harmonic Reducer Appears at the 2023 Tokyo International Robot Exhibition in Japan
Currently, in order to address labor shortages, improve productivity and efficiency, the demand for industrial robots and their required robot reducers is constantly increasing around the world. Taking industrial robots as an example, the cost of precision reducers accounts for about 30%, which is even higher in humanoid robots. Therefore, the development of the reducer industry is constantly accelerating.
Midea Industrial Technology has been focusing on the research and manufacturing of precision reducers since 2019, with research directions covering key areas such as gears, bearings, materials, simulation, friction and wear, and lubrication. We are committed to providing precision reducer products with high reliability, strong consistency, and short delivery times.
Relying on a 15000 square meter intelligent manufacturing factory, industry-leading product technology, and the IATF-16949 quality management system covering precision reducer performance and reliability testing, Midea’s industrial technology high-performance harmonic reducer has attracted widespread attention since its launch:
Midea’s industrial technology high-performance harmonic reducer adopts industry high standard materials, which combine high precision and high rigidity. It has been certified by the industry’s high standard reliability laboratory, and its indicators of empty travel, hysteresis loss, transmission error, and torsional rigidity are comparable to industry benchmarks. If the initial accuracy of the product is ≤ 1 minute, and the accuracy degradation after 10000 hours is ≤ 1 minute, it is on par with the highest level abroad;
Secondly, the product adopts high-precision simulation technology to optimize structural design, and the flexible wheel variable wall thickness design adapts to large elastic deformation, while reducing the force on the flexible shaft and significantly improving the lifespan of the reducer. Tests have shown that Midea’s industrial technology high-performance harmonic reducer products have a lifespan of over 10000 hours and are at the forefront of the industry;
Thirdly, Midea’s industrial technology high-performance harmonic reducer has a unique M-tooth profile with continuous multi arc meshing surfaces, which improves the meshing rate of the tooth profile and significantly enhances the bearing capacity and lifespan, achieving more durable, reliable, smooth, and clean applications. The overall performance has obtained CRRI certification and international leading appraisal.
Relying on the advantages of Midea’s industrial technology in lean manufacturing, research and development, and patent fields, high-performance harmonic reducers have achieved forward design with independent intellectual property rights, and have laid out up to 80 patents. The overall performance has reached the world’s leading level, achieving a breakthrough in Midea’s precision transmission from 0 to 1. With the vision of “technology drives everything”, Midea’s industrial technology reducer R&D team will continue to research and invest, providing assistance for high-quality development in fields including metal processing machine tools, medical devices, bionic robots, industrial robots, aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing, etc. with high standard reducer products.
