Heavy Machinery Group realizes "quality" leap

Zhang wisely said, “Let the two machines with similar functions be put together, one domestically produced, one imported, standing one meter away, you will feel that there is no difference between the two, but one step ahead, you will It was found that the two are very different in detail."

Zhang Zhiming is the chairman of Chongqing Machine Tool (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "Heavy Machinery"). His "domestic machine tools" also include his own products. He could not foresee how many years this "1 meter" would have to go for a company, but he clearly knew that the "1 meter phenomenon" was the goal of a heavy machine.

The market is forced to transform and upgrade

The strength and honor of the heavy machinery is unmatched by many domestic counterparts - the largest production base for complete sets of dental equipment in China, the world's largest manufacturer and sales volume of gear processing machine tools, the leader of China's gear machine tool industry, and the China Gear Tool Industry Standardization Committee. As a focal point, owns a national enterprise technology center...

Zhang wisely believes that the reason why heavy machinery has such achievements has benefited from the rapid development of China's automobile and motorcycle industry in the past 10 years. "Heavy machine products are gear machine tools. The development of the automobile and motorcycle industry has driven the demand for gearboxes, and the gear processing industry will also need to move."

Of course, the rapid growth of the domestic automobile and motorcycle industry has also revitalized many foreign machine tool companies.

If you go back for a few years, you will not care about the "1 meter phenomenon" if you are to worry about the heavy machine. Until one day, heavy machine customers began to pay attention to foreign gear processing machine equipment, heavy machine began to have a sense of urgency.

Heavy machine had to start planning its own transformation and upgrading.

Fast and slow choice

At the "Ninth Nanjing CNC Machine Tool Fair" held recently, the YW7232CNC CNC precision universal gear grinding machine, which is a heavy machine product, has attracted peers from Germany, Japan and the United States to stop and watch.

What kind of product is it to let the colleagues stay in the booth of the heavy machine, do not leave for a long time? This has never been before.

In June 2010, the parent company of the heavy machine, Mechatronics, acquired £20 million of the entire equity interest of the six companies under the British Precision Technology Group (PTG) and was placed in the trusteeship of the heavy machinery. This acquisition will allow Hyunki to harvest three hundred-year brands and five world-leading technologies, among which three are world-class technologies. Not only that, but also the heavy industry technology and international advanced level shortened by 10-15 years.

YW7232CNC CNC precision universal gear grinding machine was developed by Holloyd (PTG subsidiary), a heavy machine and a century-old grinding experience, through joint research and breakthroughs in a series of cutting-edge gear grinding machines in the world. .

Although hand in hand with the British century-old shop, so that the heavy machine to achieve running forward, but in some specific areas, heavy machine will choose to slow down.

After hosting the PTG Group, JUKI established a research and development center in the UK. Heavy Machines quickly established a good collaborative relationship with PTG, and this relationship can play a role in basic research.

Zhang Zhiming said that the R&D capability of heavy machinery in the field of gear machines has already represented the level of the national team, but he still spends huge sums every year to invest in basic research. There is a research office in JUKI's research center, which has trained a group of technical experts who are doing basic research. These seemingly no short-term benefits research, Zhang wisely persisted, and he thought this was the cornerstone of the development of heavy machinery.

95% of capacity and 5% of concept

A few months ago, a foreign colleague from PTG came to visit the aircraft. Zhang wise asked him, “How can heavy machine products enter the high-end market in the world?”

Heavy machine products have to reach 95% of the capacity in the international high-end market, but the remaining 5% gap may be very difficult. “Laowai said that the remaining 5% is the way of thinking. It is an understanding of refined production. Advanced manufacturing is the leading edge of detail.

Workers of German manufacturing companies have a meticulous "craftsman" culture, and in Chinese manufacturing companies, "almost on the line" is a collective consciousness.

Zhang wisely hopes that the heavy machinery will stick to it and insist that it will be able to surpass the “imperfection” of quantity and quality, becoming a real fear for foreign counterparts.
