China's mold industry develop high-end machine

30 years of reform and opening up, China mold manufacturing industry has made remarkable achievements, completion of the development process from small to large. In recent years, through the introduction of foreign capital, absorbing foreign advanced mold manufacturing experience, advanced technology and high-level talents, our mold design and manufacturing has been greatly improved. Die Network CEO, Shenzhen Institute of Deputy Secretary-General Luo Baihui mold technology, said in the car and motorcycle manufacturing, appliance manufacturing and the rapid development of IT and electronics manufacturing driven, mold quality and technology, production is also rising, the mold industry the size of Japan and the U.S. has been catching up. But by the financial crisis triggered by the global economic restructuring and growth mode transformation, an urgent need to speed up China's mold industry restructuring and development pattern, the realization of China mold manufacturing industry to grow stronger in great historical mission.

 

Global economic restructuring, high-end manufacturing industries first

 

Global economic restructuring and growth of the profound changes, an urgent need to accelerate the restructuring China's manufacturing industry and promote the development pattern. The development of high-end manufacturing to enhance the competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry is an urgent strategic choice. The development of high-end manufacturing industries, and promote China's manufacturing to China to create change, far-reaching, the task is arduous, heavy responsibility. But as long as the companies, industry associations, local government and the community's joint efforts of high-end manufacturing industries, including the entire industry, will be realized across the nature of the development, construction and industrial power of the grand goal can be achieved as soon as possible.

 

Luo Baihui that explore the development of high-end manufacturing industries in the process, one should focus on enhancing the high-end manufacturing capability of independent innovation. The second is to accelerate the development of internationally competitive large enterprises and groups. A country to a dominant position in the competition, the key is to have a number of competitive large enterprises and groups. The development of high-end manufacturing industries need to have a group of independent intellectual property rights and famous brands and strong international competitiveness of large enterprises as basic support. Necessary to promote market-oriented combined with the government to improve quality and efficiency as the goal, to encourage associated consolidation and reorganization, to promote integrated operation. Encourage competitive enterprises in the global scale, resources and value chain integration, and guide enterprises to implement brand strategy. In cultivating a core group of key industries competitive, leading edge products outstanding, internationally competitive conglomerates. Third, actively building the world's leading industrial base and industrial clusters. Practice shows that the industry can enhance the accumulation of industrial division of labor, lower the cost of innovation, optimizing allocation of production factors, is to improve industrial competitiveness an important way.

 

China's manufacturing industry in the development process, we should concentrate on developing a number of international advanced level industrial bases and industrial clusters, according to the rational layout, distinctive, intensive land use, environmental protection, and actively guide and promote the related industries to the industrial Park focus, focus on strengthening the chain of industrial clusters as a link building to further promote the accumulation of industrial development, land conservation use, resource use and pollution intensive focus on governance, efforts to cultivate a group of independent innovation, brand quality, energy conservation, service system construction has an obvious advantage of the world's high-end manufacturing industry base and industry cluster. Fourth, we should focus on the development of strategic new industries. Strategy for emerging industries in traditional industries and emerging industries, integration, representing the direction of technological innovation, but also represents the direction of industrial development. To speed up the microelectronics and optoelectronic equipment and devices, new functional materials, high-performance structural materials, nano materials and devices and other fields of science and technology research, as soon as possible with the world advanced level of new green materials and intelligent manufacturing systems. At the same time, but also to actively develop, including hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, solar power, biogas and geothermal and other clean energy and renewable energy.

 

The international financial crisis, accelerating global economic structure adjustment, the new pattern is emerging, as soon as possible out of the crisis and foster new economic growth point, the United States and other developed countries to re-focus on real economic development, made a re-industrialization, low-carbon economy, wisdom of the Earth and other new ideas, and have investments in technology, try new energy, new materials, aerospace, electronic information, environmental protection, life sciences and other emerging industries remain competitive, technological progress and the future of the industry to seize the commanding heights of development . At the same time, energy and strategic mineral resources in the sharp price oscillations, environmental issues have become increasingly prominent in the context of the energy saving and high-tech as the core of the green economy and low carbon development is becoming sought after by governments and economic development of the concept of enterprise . These are required not only to China's manufacturing industry based on the current, accelerating the upgrading of traditional industries, but also long-term perspective, focusing on strategic training and development of new industries, create new competitive advantages China's manufacturing industry. Luobai Hui said that China's equipment manufacturing industry from the "manufacturing power," transformed into "to create power," must make efforts from the following five areas:

 

1, enhance the independent innovation capability. In 2008, China's international patent 6089, two outstanding performance in industrial companies - Huawei and CITIC 2000 accounted for one of the many. This 6000 international patents is only about one-ninth of the United States, one-fifth of Japan and Germany third. Therefore, we must effectively promote enterprise as the core capability of independent innovation, and strive to technological innovation in the local area effective to achieve a breakthrough win for the industry to enter the field of high-end opportunities.

 

2, to enhance their own brand building. At present, China's exports of low value-added and low-tech products, exports accounted for a small independent brands with international influence of the name brand is still very lacking. 2009 world top 500 brands in mainland China only 18 brands were selected, of which only eight are manufacturing, far lower than some developed industrialized countries.

 

3, to accelerate improvements in the international competitiveness of large enterprises. Many of China's industrial output ranks first in the world, but scattered in many enterprises, the lack of internationally competitive large enterprises and groups.

 

4, increasing productivity and efficiency. China's manufacturing industry was 22.6%, respectively, compared with the United States and Japan 23% and 22% lower.

 

5, production services slow to develop, optimize and upgrade the manufacturing sector support is not enough. At present, China's service sector accounts for producer services accounted for 39.3%, respectively, lower than the United States and South Korea, 24 and 22 percentage points. Overall, China's manufacturing industry is still in the global value chain in the low-end.Equipment manufacturing industry is for the national economy and national defense technology and equipment to provide basic and strategic industries, the industry, industrial upgrading, technological progress and an important guarantee and comprehensive national strength of the concentrated expression. Equipment manufacturing industry is the high-end equipment manufacturing industry, high technology-intensive industries, is the core and key high-end manufacturing, with industries associated with high, strong ability to absorb employment, technology and capital intensive are such a feature. Actively seize the high-end equipment manufacturing industry in developed countries to seek power status of the strategic focus. Should be recognized, even though the equipment manufacturing industry in China is a big country, but the current China's equipment manufacturing industry and the world advanced level there is a gap, especially in some high-end manufacturing equipment, such as semiconductors, including electronic information processing equipment industry , deep ocean and oil equipment, million-ton ethylene plant in a large compressor is almost entirely dependent on imports, high-end automatic control systems such as aircraft navigation instrumentation, high-speed train's brake system is basically a foreign monopoly.

 

Therefore, to develop high-end equipment manufacturing industry, should be based on domestic economic and social development needs, relying on key projects, give priority to the development of key components of the core and foundation of the manufacturing process, accelerating new energy, high-end CNC machine tools, modern rail transportation equipment, intelligent instruments instrumentation, precision agriculture machinery, aerospace equipment, electronic equipment, specialized equipment and significant energy saving technologies and equipment and other major independent and localization. Focus on supporting the development of large complete sets of equipment manufacturers of general contracting, systems integration, and promote the development of equipment manufacturing services.

 

Mold thriving machine tool industry a substantial market

 

Before the financial crisis of 2008, China mold products sales of approximately 95 billion yuan, according to an annual average of 15 billion yuan if incremental, fixed assets investment-output ratio is roughly 1:1, about 60% of the funds being invested for to calculate the purchase of new equipment, the average annual 90 billion for the purchase date of equipment. This is the mold industry an estimated device market. Although the equipment market, compared with the total size of the machine tool industry is not only the ratio, but should not be ignored. Even if foreign-owned enterprises mainly in this part of the market share of foreign equipment removed, leaving the domestic machine tool industry also will have at least 60 billion yuan every year equipment market. If the level of domestic equipment and services competitive, foreign-funded enterprises are also willing to buy cheap domestic equipment. Financial crisis, the 4 trillion to stimulate investment and boost the equipment manufacturing industry, and economic crisis, producers speed up new product development, market demand for the total amount of mold is not falling significantly. Mold market remained stable up features for the machine tool industry a broad market space.

 

Now China has been able to produce the B-and below-grade cars and other passenger cars and commercial vehicles such as supporting the full range of automotive tooling for the electronics industry, supporting the accuracy of 2μm, more than 200 million times the life of the precision high-speed multi-position progressive mode, a single set of molds weighing over 100 tons of giant mold, up to 6 meters in large multi-position progressive die, light guide plate mold, the disc mold, mold and many other high-level bio-chip die. Some of the production of multi-position progressive die has been at 2000 times / min high-speed punching with an accuracy of 1μm. In large plastic mold, capable of producing 43 inches of domestic large-screen TV and 65-inch rear-projection TV Molded mold, car bumper, and the whole dashboard and other plastic mold. In precision plastic mold, the domestic production of cameras and mobile phones have been able to mold plastic parts, multi-cavity molds and small modulus gear accuracy 5μm, 7800 plastic mold cavity.

 

Development of high-end machine tools and equipment, actively respond to the high precision requirements

 

With the development of manufacturing, product miniaturization and precision parts requirements increase, the precision mold processing requirements are also increasing. Some precision mold requires less than 1μm, which requires the development of super-finishing. For the automotive, aircraft, precision mechanical micrometer precision machining; for the disk, drum manufacturing sub-micron (0.01μm) precision machining; for ultra-precision electronic devices nanometer level (0.001μm) precision machining.

 

Molding parts and components increasingly large-scale high-productivity requirements of a multi-cavity, a few tons to hundreds of tons of mold is very common, a mold cavity hundreds or even thousands of cavities. Therefore, the machine requires a large work surface can withstand the weight, which requires the device must have a large load-bearing characteristics and high rigidity, there must be large enough table size and corresponding work schedule. In addition, the mold cavity space for six more for complex surfaces and grooves of the composition, and many die with a deep cavity, which requires a multi-axis machine tools and good cutting ability of the deep cavity integrated in order to achieve 3D surface high-precision, high speed processing and high stability

 

High speed and high-power high-speed machining is the development direction of high-speed milling in the mold processing has shown great advantages. In order to meet the mold cavity surface processing, tool radius should be less than the minimum circle radius of the cavity surface, in order to avoid processing tool and the workpiece occur "interference." As the tool diameter is small, thus requiring very high spindle speed, and foreign high-speed machining spindle speed has reached 4 million to 10 million r / min. Cavity and other parts mold parts thick, often finishing in one clamping the workpiece to complete, so the spindle power to large, medium-size molds milling and machining center spindle power often 10 ~ 40kW, some even higher. To meet the complex curved surface processing, and a large amount of processing, thus requiring multi-axis machine can, and with a large information capacity of the CNC system.

 

In addition, a variety of grooves, a variety of materials formed in a mold, or assembled into a multi-component composite mold, requiring large processing programming process; mold the refinement of the composite processing equipment and tools The efficiency of more concern; high-speed milling hard materials with high processability, processing stability, cutting force is small, deformation of the workpiece temperature rise and small businesses many advantages to die more and more attention on high-speed machining; a variety of measurement techniques combined applications, high-speed measurement and reverse engineering for promoting the mold product development, design and manufacturing technology development, an important force.

 

On the one hand is the mold the market has expanded each year, for the rising demand for machine tools, machine tool industry to bring more and more opportunities, on the other hand is facing the machine tool business is not active embarrassing piece of cake . Industry experts have also expressed regret that such a phenomenon: "the domestic metal cutting machine tool manufacturers with 500 or so, CNC machine tool manufacturers have 150 or so, are able to do with CNC equipment, there are 30 or so, but the marketing machine into the mold companies are far from this figure, which is really a pity. "As the production of machine tooling equipment companies need to increase investment, but also need to adjust the production line in order to achieve the requirements of mold, which is why many domestic machine tool companies and the market for mold not very keen for a reason. And a small amount of mold companies a one-time contract, unlike a number of companies have a dozen sets of bulk orders. Jiazhi machine because of the mold with the technical requirements of processing more than the parts machining, such as numerical control systems, transmission equipment, precision parameters, etc., all have their individual reasonable demand, the domestic machine tool companies to research and design difficult. In this case, the machine tool business that mold manufacturing equipment input-output ratio is small, reluctant to invest effort in this area are inevitable.

 

Importance in view of the domestic machine tool industry is not in the equipment industry mold-made equipment in the market and lower market share, Luobai Hui said, the machine tool industry should pay close attention to the mold industry, attention to the mold industry equipment market, from long-term development starting from a strategic perspective to understand, and fully research the market and correct positioning. Variety mold processing equipment required, the situation is different, you can start with middle and low start, and then gradually to the high-end development, which may be a more realistic way. China is a big country mold, we must develop proprietary high-quality manufacturing equipment. Domestic machine tool companies to grasp this good opportunity, in the mold industry in China, for its wings, while the real play of its profits to help the development of positive role.
