Automated equipment refers to multi-jointed robotic arms or multi-degree-of-freedom machines used in the industrial field. These machines can actively perform tasks, relying on their own power and control capabilities to achieve various functions. Currently, with the widespread adoption of computer technology, industries such as industrial product manufacturing, parts processing, and consumer goods have all entered an era of fully automated production controlled by computer programmable logic controllers. Enterprise automation has become an inevitable trend in this era.

To alleviate environmental pressures and rising costs associated with factors like population and land, and considering the current development trend of China's population, the future aging population and labor shortage will become two major challenges restricting sustained economic growth. Therefore, it is necessary to seize the opportunity of "machine replacement" to generate "technological dividends" and create new cost advantages. Improving technological efficiency has become an effective focus for achieving transformation and development. Machines do not tire or experience mood swings, resulting in higher consistency in production quality, and assembly line operations can be further optimized.

Automated equipment is a type of machine that can perform tasks autonomously, relying on its own power and control capabilities to achieve various functions. It can be commanded by humans and can operate according to pre-programmed procedures. Modern industrial automated equipment can also act according to principles and guidelines established by artificial intelligence technology.Industrial automation equipment can replace humans in industrial production to perform certain monotonous, frequent, and repetitive long-term tasks, or work in dangerous or harsh environments. For example, in processes such as stamping, pressure forging, heat treatment, welding, painting, plastic product molding, machining, and simple assembly, as well as in sectors such as the nuclear energy industry, it can transfer or perform technical operations that are harmful to the human body.

With the sharp decline in my country's labor force and the upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry, driven by market demand and technological advancements, and supported by strong national policies, China's industrial automation equipment has experienced a boom in recent years. Industrial automation equipment is being continuously deployed in production, playing a crucial role in large-scale manufacturing. The automation equipment industry is entering a golden period of development. How to promote the integrated development of industrial automation equipment and machine tools, and how to achieve the mutual integration and application of industrial automation equipment and CNC machine tools, have become major topics in the upgrading of the modern equipment manufacturing industry.
