Industrial Robot with 7 Degrees of Freedom Designed by Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm
“This robot is used in the filling lines of petrochemical products and cement industries and can automatically fill the products in 50-kg bags and place them on the trailer. It is able to fill 20 bags per operation,” said Mohammad Ali Khazayee, the chairman of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company.
“In the maintenance section, our product is designed in such a way that if there is a problem in the operation of the robot, it can be easily removed from the line and continue to operate manually until the problem is settled,” he explained.
Khazayee noted that the company has also designed and indigenized over 150 parts and equipment used in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries for the first time in the country.
In a relevant development in April, researchers at a startup company in Iran had also acquired the know-how to make subsurface explorer robots that makes it possible to take photos and identify sunken objects up to a depth of 100 meters beneath the sea surface.
“We in this company are working on underwater robots with underwater imaging mission. We have targeted Remotely Operated vehicle (ROV) robots in this company. These robots are controlled by cables and the operator can control them online,” said Ali Golkar, the managing director of the Iranian startup company which operates in the maritime field.
“This robot can carry out the desired missions up to a depth of 100 meters. This means that it has the capability to carry out missions in the entire Persian Gulf,” the researcher also said.
Golkar pointed to the inspection operation as one of the capabilities of the subsurface explorer robot, which is made in a modular way, adding, “Extra operations can be added to this robot. It can operate 24 hours a day by connecting to a power source or a battery.”
