Knowledge-Based Firm in Iran Produces Industrial Robots with Seven Degrees of Freedom
“Our company operates in two areas. One of our products is the seven-degree-of-freedom robot, for which we have obtained the knowledge-based badge. This robot does not have foreign-made equivalent and it has been developed by us for the first time in Iran and the world,” Mohammad Ali Khazaei, the chairman of the board of directors of the Iranian knowledge-based company said, according to a report by the website of the Iranian Vice Presidency for Science and Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
“The robot is used in the production lines of petrochemical and cement factories to automatically fill in 50 kg bags and place them on the conveyer. This robot is able to fill 20 bags per operation,” he said.
“In addition, we have designed and locally produced more than 150 pieces and equipment used in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries for the first time in the country. Due to sanctions and economic conditions, it was not possible to import these pieces. Fortunately, all of the 150 pieces have been installed and put into operation in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries and have performed successfully,” he added.
“When it comes to maintenance, our robot is designed in a way that if there is a problem in its functioning, it can be easily removed from the line and continue to operate manually until the flaw is resolved. This is while in the foreign-made products, it takes a long time until the parts arrive from overseas. Moreover, our product has saved the country monetarily to some extent {by meeting the domestic need}.”
“Twenty people have been directly employed in our group, and about sixty people work with us indirectly” Khazaei added.
