The non-standard automation equipment smoothing agent is worn between the friction surfaces, due to the wear of hard particles, the rust of the surface, and the welding and tearing between the metal surfaces. Therefore, by supplying enough smoothing agent to the friction surface, good smoothing conditions can be formed, preventing the destruction of the oil film, maintaining the matching accuracy of the parts, and greatly reducing wear.1. Avoid corrosion and maintain the appearance of metal:Automation equipmentThe mechanical appearance of non-standard automation equipment must inevitably come into contact with surrounding media (such as air, moisture, water vapor, corrosive gas and liquid, etc.) to cause rust, corrosion and damage to the metal surface of the machine. In particular, the low-temperature vehicles in metallurgical plants and the corrosion and wear of chemical plants are more serious.Smooth oil or grease has no corrosive effect on metals, and can isolate the moisture in the humid air and the corrosion of harmless media. We apply a layer of oil or grease with anti-corrosion and anti-rust additives on the metal surface of the machine, which can play the role of anti-corrosion, anti-rust and maintenance of the metal surface.2. Lower the temperature:Non-standard automation equipment smoothing agent can reduce the coefficient of friction and reduce the occurrence of frictional heat. The work done by the machine we operate to restrain friction is all converted into heat, partly dispersed from the body, and partly lowered the temperature of the machine from time to time. The concentrated circulation of liquid smoothing agent can take away the heat generated by friction, and play a role in cooling, so that the machine can be controlled to operate within the required temperature range.

Nowadays, many products have some special requirements during production. Some general-purpose equipment cannot meet the requirements of these products. In order to improve production efficiency, non-standard automation equipment can achieve these special requirements according to actual production needs. Now many companies produce products. At that time, the proportion of non-standard automation equipment is also increasing.The cost of non-standard automation equipment is relatively high, and it takes a long time to see the effect. However, because the profits obtained are relatively high, and the research value is relatively high, many manufacturers use this type of equipment.The main reasons why the recycling cycle of non-standard automation equipment is so long are as follows:1. The investment cost of automation non-standard equipment is relatively highThere are manpower investment, time investment and other material costs, manufacturing and scientific research costs, and so on.2. A relatively high level of technology is requiredIt is difficult to design machines for some products, and certain technical capabilities are required. Some materials also stipulate specificity. However, if parts of the equipment are to be changed, the materials used will also change, which will increase the production cost.3. The stability of the equipment is subject to the actual application of the productA complete equipment starts from R&D and manufacturing to its later successful assembly. In this process, it will definitely encounter many difficulties. It must be used in practice to ensure that the equipment can operate stably and reliably.Therefore, the cost of non-standard automation equipment must be invested before it can be profitable. However, sometimes there will be a lot of investment, and the return is not very high, because the cost of the later assembly and manufacturing of the equipment is difficult to recover in the short term. At this time, the various industries in the enterprise should be allowed to develop complementary, so that the follow-up industries can continue to develop.

The globalization of economy has intensified the market competition, and the intelligent, flexible and unmanned manufacturing industry has become a development trend, and the industrial automation industry has gained a broad space for development. In recent years, Germany has put forward the "Industry 4.0" plan, the United States has put forward the "National Manufacturing Innovation Network", Japan has put forward the "Innovative Industrial Structure Plan", and China has also put forward the "Made in China 2025" development plan. Their common ground is to make full use of the Internet of things, 5G communications, robots, artificial intelligence and other technical means to improve the intelligent and unmanned degree of manufacturing. Industrial automation products are an important premise and guarantee for modern factories to achieve scale, high efficiency, precision, intelligence and safe production. They are widely used and have a good development prospect. According to the Research data of Zion Market Research, the global industrial automation Market has reached 207.17 billion dollars in 2017. Due to the gradual maturity and commercial application of the Internet of Things, 5G technology and artificial intelligence technology, The global industrial automation market is expected to reach us $321.93 billion by 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of about 6.5%. The market for industrial automation services reached $42.1 billion in 2018 And is expected to reach $70.6 billion by 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of about 9%, according to Research And Markets. At present, the world's major industrial automation industry manufacturers include ABB, Siemens, General Electric, Schneider, Yaskawa, FANUC, Mitsubishi, Fuji Electric and so on. As an important part of high-end equipment, industrial automation control system is an important prerequisite and guarantee for modern industrial production to achieve scale, efficiency, precision, intelligence and safety.

According to the data of Markets and Markets, from 2010 to 2020, the scale of the global machine vision market has been on the rise. In 2020, the global machine vision market reached 10.7 billion US dollars, with a compound growth rate of 14.48% in the past five years. The first application of machine vision comes from the development of "robot". In the 1970s, the appearance of CCD image sensor and the replacement of silicon target camera by CCD camera is an important turning point in the development of machine vision. In the 1980s, the rapid progress of CPU, DSP and other image processing hardware technology provided the basic conditions for the rapid development of machine vision. Since the 20th century, the global machine vision industry started rapid growth, European and American enterprises in the global machine vision industry in a leading position.   According to Markets and Markets, Europe has the largest market share in machine vision globally, accounting for 36.4%. Next is North America, with a global share of 29.3%. With the growth of the Asia-Pacific region, where countries such as China, Japan, India and South Korea have some of the largest manufacturing facilities, automation of the manufacturing process has been regarded as a top priority, accounting for 25.3% of the global market share; South America, the Middle East and Africa accounted for 9.1 percent. Although the market share of Asia-Pacific and other regions has increased under the attention of the country, the current global machine vision industry is still dominated by European and American enterprises.   Since 2010, with the development of automation technology and the continuous innovation of industrial robot technology, the global demand for industrial robots has significantly accelerated. According to the latest report released by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the number of robot installations worldwide increased gradually from 2012 to 2018, although there were some in 2019
