18、he core fields between the manufactures?What are the main differences?Question 5:Conclude the major departments and characteristics of the manufacturers.AnswerTRANSLATION工业机器人生产商 几乎所有的工业机器人都是用来完成制造任务的，比如焊接、喷漆和装配等。然而，没有一个机器人品牌能够包揽整个机器人产业。目前工业机器人的主要生产国有意大利、瑞典、德国、日本、美国和中国等。虽然机器人制造商数量庞大，但由于公司合并、被收购或破产，机
19、器人制造商的数量逐步减少。本文仅讨论那些技术成熟的工业机器人制造商。日本的安川（YASKAWA）和FANUC、德国的库卡（KUKA）、瑞士的ABB四大家族为全球主要的工业机器人供应商，被称为四大家族，占据全球约50%的市场份额。TRANSLATION 工业机器人通常由核心零部件、机械本体和系统集成三部分构成。核心零部件包括减速机、伺服电机和控制器，核心零部件是工业机器人产业的核心壁垒。四大家族在各个技术领域内各有所长，安川电机的核心领域是伺服系统和运动控制器，FANUC的核心是数控系统，库卡的核心是控制系统和机械本体，ABB的核心领域是控制系统。发那科拥有三大部门。FA（工业自动化）包括CNC
20、数控系统、伺服电机、激光振荡器等。机器人包括协作机器人、大型与微型机器人、弧焊机器人等用于各行各业的工业机器人。数控机床包括小型加工中心、注塑机和纳米级超精密机床等。TRANSLATION 安川电机有四大部门，包括驱动控制，机器人，系统集成和IT与物流。驱动控制主要包括伺服电机、控制器等。机器人包括工业机器人、晶圆传送机器人、医疗机器人、协作机器人等。系统集成为机器人应用于钢铁、造纸、废水处理、铁路运输等行业提供解决方案。库卡有三个部门，分别为机器人，系统集成和Swisslog（瑞仕格公司）。机器人包含六轴机器人、医疗机器厂、码垛机器人等产品。系统集成提供汽车制造、电子加工、食品加工等行业应用的解决方案。Swisslog于2015年被库卡收购，为医院、仓库和配送中心实施先进的自动化解决方案。2017年库卡公司被美的企业收购。TRANSLATION ABB目前有4个主要部门：（1）电气产品事业部：包括电动集成基础设施、变电站、配电自动化、电气安装、测量和传感以及控制等产品；（2）机器人及运动控制部：包括电机、机械动力传动装置、机器人等；（3）工业自动化部：提供集成解决方案与服务；（4）电网事业部：提供电力和自动化产品、系统、服务和软件解决方案。THANK YOU
