ORUNTE:
BORUNTE is a rising Chinese robotics manufacturer with a diverse catalog robot models covering applications like injection molding, welding, machine tending, and surface finishing.
With almost 20 years of expertise, the company values community and proactively fosters innovation and entrepreneurship among its ecosystem of partners and users.
In this spotlight, we introduce BORUNTE’s background, applications, and key industries. We also explain how you can use BORUNTE robots to create production-ready automation cells for your facility.
The BORUNTE Story: Building an Industrial Robotics Portfolio
BORUNTE ROBOT Co. Ltd was founded in 2008 in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. Right from its very beginnings, the company positioned itself as a high-tech enterprise focused on R&D and strong industry partnerships.
Research and product development have continued as a defining feature of BORUNTE’s growth. The company continues to invest in new technologies, while continually strengthening its ecosystem through its comprehensive integrator program and industry events.
The company’s expanding product line reflects a strategy centered on practical industrial needs rather than simply innovation for the sake of it. This portfolio allows users to choose the automation route that suits them: Either adopting robots incrementally or implementing complete robotic workflows.
Industrial Scenarios Where BORUNTE Robots Operate
Rather than focusing on a single niche, BORUNTE has instead developed a broad catalog of robotic solutions that support diverse factory environments.
With an impressive range of robot models, the company has options to suit a vast number of applications. From compact collaborative workcells to heavy industrial manipulation.
Examples of some real-world scenarios:
- Structural welding in automotive components — This solution was designed to follow continuous welding paths on bucket car frames for repeatable structural joining applications.
- Hands-free CNC machine tending — Loading and unloading of CNC machines. This solution reduced idle time between cycles without the need for human operators.
- High-speed counting and sorting in production lines — With this project, the company automated ultrasonic nozzle counting and hole dividing. A task requiring consistent positioning accuracy at production speed.
- Multi-part assembly and adhesive application — This assembly solution was created to perform gluing and part assembly for a toothbrush manufacturing project.
- Small-part insertion and press-fit operations — In this project, the company created a system to automate nut embedding, a repetitive insertion task requiring consistent force and placement accuracy.
Such a broad range of applications underscores the company’s role as a flexible automation provider across diverse manufacturing sectors.
Programming Options for BORUNTE Robots
Before you decide on a robot model for your task, it’s important to choose a programming workflow that will streamline your deployment and make your life as easy as possible.
One way we often differentiate robot programming options is to split them into 3 types:
- Brand Programming: — Like most robot companies, BORUNTE has its own proprietary language, a scripting language that includes common robot commands like MOVEJ (joint move) and MOVC (move in a circle). This can be programmed offline or on the brand teach pendant.
- Teach Pendant Programming: FlexPendant — The company’s teach pendant is used for online programming of their manipulators. The touch screen FlexPendant includes a standard range of instructions and programming options.
- RoboDK Offline Programming: — With RoboDK, you have access to a powerful, feature-rich robot programming system that provides an easy way to program BORUNTE robots offline. This significantly improves your programming workflow with support for multiple BORUNTE models. Leading CAD/CAM software tools, and advanced functionality through the RoboDK API.
Language support is a further benefit of using RoboDK for BORUNTE robots. As the company is based in China, many of the company’s resources are still only available in Chinese. With RoboDK, you don’t have to worry about this. As our dedicated BORUNTE post-processor generates for you the programming instructions for you.
Spotlight on 3 Models in the RoboDK Library
BORUNTE has various ranges of robots, including 4 and 6 axis manipulators, a cobot model, and a vast selection of precise servo manipulators.
In the RoboDK Robot Library, we offer growing support for BORUNTE robots, especially 6-axis manipulators.
Here are 3 models from the library that you can download and use immediately:
Robot 1: BRTIRUS 0707A-v21
The BRTIRUS 0707A is a compact, 6-axis industrial robot built for precision and repetitive tasks, well-suited to lightweight tasks like assembly and dispensing.
The robot has a payload of 7 kg, a reach of up to 883 mm, and a repeatability of 0.03 mm. With dust and waterproofing, the manipulator has been designed with harsh environments in mind.
Download the 0707A model from our Robot Library.
Robot 2: BRTIRUS 1820A
From the company’s mid-sized robots, the BRTIRUS 1820A is tailored to injection-molding applications and other complex applications requiring high flexibility.
The robot has a payload of 20 kg, a reach of 1.85 m, and a repeatability of 0.05 mm. It is compatible with injection-molding machines with clamping forces of between 500-1300 tons.
Download the 1820A model from our Robot Library.
Robot 3: BRTIRUS 2030A
A higher-payload robot, the BRTIRUS 2030A is well-suited to tasks like machine loading and material handling that require less precision.
The robot has a payload of 30 kg, a reach of 2.07 m, and a repeatability of 0.08 mm.
Download the 2030A model from our Robot Library.
Simplifying BORUNTE Robot Deployment with RoboDK
Whatever BORUNTE model you choose, programming is a key step in the deployment process. By programming your robot with RoboDK, you can quickly and easily test your robot in a simulated environment and then seamlessly deploy it to your production environment.
Functions that help deployment include:
- Importing toolpaths directly from your CAD/CAM software into the simulation environment.
- Visualising and validating robot motion in 3D, with automatic collision detection.
- Generating BORUNTE-compatible robot code ready for deployment through dedicated post-processors.
- Extending your automation workflows with advanced functionality through the [RoboDK API][API].
To get started, download a trial copy of RoboDK and load your chosen BORUNTE model from the integrated library.
BORUNTE: Scalable Automation for Evolving Production Needs
The continued growth and innovation of BORUNTE reflects a broader shift in the robotics industry, with an increased focus on Chinese manufacturers.
With the company’s wide selection of robots, workstations, and tooling solutions, BORUNTE is providing manufacturers across industries with multiple practical entry points into automation.
We look forward to seeing the company continue to make waves in the industry, with programming made easier with RoboDK.
