Chinese tool companies should take the path of specialization

On the morning of June 13, 2012, the reporter walked into the “expert clinic” located at the W2-VIP for the first time at the current CIMES exhibition. The researcher-level senior engineer Zhao Bingyi of the China Metalworking Industry Tool Technology Co., Ltd. had a legitimate value in answering questions for the company. . Zhao Gong then shared with reporters some of the situations that he had come to visit this morning.

“The first company that came to consult today is a small factory. They responded that they found that they could pick out a lot of blades that have already been scrapped in the market. After grinding, they can continue to use them.” Zhao Gong said. In fact, this is very much in line with the direction of development of the current general trend - the recycling of resources, recycling, and recycling are beneficial to both environmental protection and ecology. What the Sandvik Group is already doing is to recycle some scrapped blades before they are recycled and recycled. Today, this small factory is puzzled by how the knives after regrind can guarantee its quality and accuracy. The problem they currently face in grinding is that the accuracy of the grinding wheel cannot be maintained. How can the grinding wheel be repaired? "Generally speaking, small factories like this have no conditions to buy regrind equipment," Zhao Gong told reporters, and Japan's repair industry is very developed, they have long attached importance to this business. However, in the past, we only attached the grinding plant to its own processing workshop or tool branch, unlike Japan where there is a professional grinding company. Companies like Japan focus on their familiar business areas. , fully in line with our current industrial development direction.

"There is also a factory consulting question is, how can only 2mm hole can achieve the required accuracy, surface roughness, etc.," Zhao Gong said, at present, this factory has been able to solve the 4mm hole requirements of the accuracy and surface roughness Degrees, but it looks a little helpless in the face of 2mm holes. The processing of small precision parts has a common problem - difficult to process, I later suggested them from the speed of the grinding head (related to the surface finish), the choice of abrasive particles (to be fine), the lubrication effect of cooling lubrication, and many other aspects Consider, re-adjust after processing.

Zhao Gong commented on the expert outpatient service at this time. Although usually communicating with some companies, most of them communicated with the telephone. It is not as straightforward as such face-to-face answers. Some parameters and processing details need to be sat down to understand. Zhuzhou Diamond has done a better job in China's current tool companies. They have embarked on the track of modern tool companies. An important sign is that tools can be developed for the industry, such as automotive, aerospace, and high-speed trains. Vertical industry. "In the case of tool products, the way behind closed doors should be abandoned. We must look at the market to meet the industry's needs and processing characteristics." Zhao Gong stressed that each industry is different, aerospace and more difficult to use materials, titanium alloys, but the volume is very small, and the automotive industry is very large quantities, the reliability of the tool is better, can not half-way bad knife and affect the progress of the entire production line . For different industries like this, tool providers must understand. Zhuzhou Diamond has established the concept of manufacturing-oriented services and is an important feature of modern tool development.

But for companies like Zhuzhou Diamond, we only have one at this time. How do we have a small group of cutting tool companies? Zhao Gong suggested that Chinese knife companies should take a specialization approach. Such as Zhengzhou Diamond, a class of tools to do a good job, with limited human and financial resources to do one thing. In fact, whether it is Sandvik Group or IMC Group, they gave us a great enlightenment, is the integration of different market representative tool suppliers to strengthen their own dominance. “From the perspective of China's cutting tool companies, only the Xiamen Golden Heron has upward signs. We hope that Xiamen Golden Heron can become the second Zhuzhou Diamond as soon as possible. There is only one Zhuzhou Diamond in China. It is not enough, but who can become? China's second Zhuzhou Diamond is hard to find." Zhao Gong’s last words are very meaningful. I hope that at the next CIMES exhibition, Chinese knife companies will be able to produce satisfactory transcripts and look forward to your coming to China!
