Intelligent Industrial Empire

As the leader of a large state-owned enterprise with thousands of people, Pan Zhigao has never been as excited as he is now.

The downturn in domestic heavy industry, the rise of light industry, and the weak demand for heavy manufacturing equipment have reduced the number of employees in large machinery manufacturing companies like them by more than half, although the missing employees all work in the newly established machinery factory nearby. , But that does not belong to Hal Heavy Industry after all.

Heavy equipment requires very high production technology and capital, but it is not widely used. In the entire world, the demand for weight is not very large.

In the past, when the state planned the economy, it didn't matter. Anyway, all workers were raised by the state, and all costs were paid by the state.

Now that the enterprise is responsible for its own profits and losses, it can no longer be the same as before. There is no work and no work is the same. Everyone is willing to never work. Every day, a cup of tea and a newspaper in the office or workshop is one day. Then wait until the salary is paid directly to receive the salary.

Now that the company is responsible for its own profits and losses, and the company loses money, everyone's income is reduced.

Companies like Haer Heavy Industries have a small audience for their products. To ensure a stable income, it is not easy to make profits when the country does not have some heavy equipment production.

Of course, the profit of producing heavy equipment can be much higher than that of small equipment.

Otherwise, they would not be willing to cooperate with Jiuyi Heavy Industry in the research and development of heavy-duty CNC lathes.The machining of heavy-duty rotary parts for many large-scale products often requires high precision and complex shapes.

Ordinary heavy-duty machine tools are not only inefficient, but also difficult to ensure accuracy by humans.

For example, the production of rocket shells. Generally, rocket shells have a small taper and are a whole cone, so that they can conform to aerodynamics and reach the highest speed that rockets and missiles can reach.

The shell of the rocket is made of duralumin alloy, which itself is a thin-walled part. The stroke of the small pallet used to process the cone of the ordinary heavy lathe is only three to four hundred millimeters long. However, the length of the general missile or rocket is several meters or even several meters. Ten meters long, ordinary machine tool processing requires many times of knives, even experienced senior technical workers, it is difficult to make the overall processing marks uniform.

Therefore, the numerical control of heavy-duty lathes has a huge market.

However, when the domestic heavy equipment manufacturing market did not rise, when the heavy industry did not develop, the life of Haer Heavy Industry was very difficult.

Now that Jiuyi Heavy Industry puts out such a large order, the monthly profit will be millions of dollars, and it is no longer a problem to raise the workers left in the factory.

"Yes, but you know that the equipment we produce is small general-purpose equipment for the time being, but I don't know if you are interested in it!" Yun Fei said to Pan Zhigao embarrassedly.

"Yes, I'm so interested!" As long as there is a profit, the entire factory will no longer be layoffs, and the company's old workers with rich technical experience will no longer be laid off and retain the company's minimum production capacity. All businesses are interested.

The factory is in a recession, and it is not the workers who suffer the most, but Pan Zhigao as the factory director.

As a factory manager, especially a conscientious factory manager, seeing the company's downturn will definitely make life difficult.

I didn't look, is Pan Zhigao's hair all white?

"We are here this time, mainly because of this question. Before the National Day, can your company provide us with three hundred large castings for machining centers? It would be better if you could provide more..." CNC machine tools from casting to assembly , The production cycle is very long.

If it were not for the development of artificial aging technology, the production cycle would be even longer.

Those machine tool factories in Taiwan are still beginning to build the most basic workshops, and a large number of products will be launched on the market by March next year.

I didn't look at it. Several other factories are now renting other people's workshops for assembly. The CNC machine tools sold have already made the CEOs of those companies happy!

If it weren't for Yunfei's stubbornness, according to the meaning of Wu Zhongda and Jiang Jianxing, the newly emerging powerful figures of the two companies, the CNC machining center that Jiuyi Heavy Industry has just started to produce has now begun to be put on the market.

"Let them enjoy themselves first, expand their production scale, and let them cry directly at that time!" So Yunfei responded to the strong demand of Jiuyi Heavy Industry's senior management to push the domestic processing center to the market as soon as possible.

In order to increase the production capacity of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, the acquisition of Jinling Heavy Industry. Because the lion of the Jinling Municipal Government has opened up, Yunfei is now directly seeking supporting factories.

Haer Heavy Industries mainly produces traditional heavy-duty lathes, which has no competition with Jiuyi Heavy Industries.

Otherwise, Yun Fei would not do it.

"This..." Yun Fei's words not only embarrassed Pan Zhigao, but also embarrassed Huang Chaohai.

"Why? With the production capacity of your Haer Heavy Industry, it should be no problem to produce 300 large castings of the processing center in three months? Don't worry, the material advance payment, our labor union of Jiuyi Heavy Industry will call your account in advance... …" Hearing the resoluteness of the two people's agreement, Yun Fei's face is a bit ugly, but now hesitates.

These two goods are probably worried that their labor union on September 1st will default on funds.

Don't ask, when did Jiuyi Heavy Industry default on other people's money?

"Mr. Yun, I don’t mean that. In terms of funding, although our Haar Heavy Industry is currently in a recession, it is still a state-owned factory. In terms of production materials, we can still owe some credit in those factories that produce raw materials. We are a company that produces lathes. Now it will take a long time to produce large castings for machining centers, technical research and adaptation of mold making..." Huang Chaohai knew Yunfei had misunderstood.

He doesn't want this thing to go wrong.

Although the raw materials of the production lathe and the milling machine are the same, the production process is still very different.

The castings of the lathe are mainly subjected to the force of gravity and the torque generated during transmission in the main shaft gearbox.The force of those large castings in machining centers is much more complicated than that of lathes.

Especially the column that bears the weight of the entire main shaft and the vertical movement of the main shaft, the direction of force is very complicated, even if the same material, the casting process is still quite different.

Haer Heavy Industry does not have any basic production technology for milling machines.

"On this issue? The technology and production process are all provided by our Jiuyi Heavy Industry. You only need to produce according to the process we give. The main problem is that the casting cannot have too large casting defects. For specific requirements, we provide We have all the technical documents. In terms of technical issues, you can discuss with Director Qi of our foundry shop. Are there any other questions? "Since it is only a technical issue, it is not a problem.

Yunfei is not worried that after giving this technology to Haer Heavy Industries, Haer Heavy Industries produces CNC machine tools or machining centers. After all, CNC milling machines and machining centers are not only enough for casting technology, but also for subsequent assembly and automatic replacement. Knife device and tool magazine are the most critical core technologies.

What's more, a more high-end CNC system than Huashulong CNC system is also in the hands of Jiuyi Research Institute.

Of course, Capital One Machinery is specialized in manufacturing milling machines like this. Now it has its own CNC milling machine technology, and at the same time it has developed its own CNC system professional company. Yunfei will not give them such technology, even a little bit will not work. .

In the later stage, if CNC machine tools want to improve their accuracy, they need to start from various aspects, such as materials, processing technology, assembly, systems, etc. Any improvement in any aspect may make the accuracy of the machine tool to a higher level.

"If this is the case, there will be no problem!" Even if there are problems with such a large list, it is not a big problem. It is a big deal to organize a strong team to tackle technical problems!

In those days, the domestic technology obtained from the Soviet Union did not have the production technology of horizontal lathes with a turning diameter of more than 1.6 meters, and there was no super-heavy vertical lathe with a turning diameter of more than five meters. Now, Haar Heavy Industry does not also produce it. It's out!

"What?" Yun Fei couldn't help being a little strange when he saw Pan Zhigao want to say something.

Didn’t it mean there was no problem?

"Director Pan, we have many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and the cooperation time is also very long. If there are any problems, I will raise them all at once, or it will affect our cooperation later, that would not be great..." Solving the trouble once is the most ideal state. Don't wait until the critical moment of production to bring it up, as that will affect the entire production plan.

For this, Yun Fei has deep feelings.

In the machinery industry, there is a preparation time for any job. This preparation time is used to solve the problems that will be encountered during the processing in advance. Otherwise, wait until the processing time to solve it, and even affect the production of the entire factory. , Especially for enterprises that carry out batch processing.

"Mr. Yun, for your large-scale casting production scale, can you give us some rough machining operations for mechanical processing? After all, after the blanks are processed, the transportation will be easier, and it will also save a lot of transportation costs. ......" Now that Yun Fei said, Pan Zhigao stopped twitching.

If you only do the casting business, although the profit is huge, it is not as big as the machining business.

The processing capacity of the factory is readily available, and it is much better to share more profits from Jiuyi Heavy Industry than to find new market opportunities on its own.

"This..." Yun Fei did not directly answer Pan Zhigao, but looked at Zhao Xingbang embarrassedly.

For Jiuyi Heavy Industry, it can be roughed in the foundry and then transported to the Jiuyi Heavy Industry. That will save a lot of things. In the process of transportation, it can also carry out a period of natural aging on the blanks. There is artificial aging-whether it is train transportation or automobile transportation, the bumps along the way will cause considerable changes in the internal structure of the casting.
