059 The price of technology and experience

(Come back and see, the recommendation tickets for a few days, the clicks are not strong, brothers, the transitional chapter is over, what's wrong? Brothers, the chrysanthemums of the villagers are disabled now, it is terrible... Brothers who are okay can go to Check out the list of the new book list signed by new authors...)

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Yun Fei didn't eat a single bite of the food, and was poured alcohol from the moment the table was served.

In the end, he himself didn't know how to get off the table, and he couldn't remember how many times he vomited.Confused, he was helped to his single dormitory, where he slept on the bed for two full days before getting out of bed with all his strength.

For the past two days, Luo Xiaoli served tea and water every day before and after the run.Yun Fei was afraid of delaying the secretary who was not much older than him, so he resolutely refused the female secretary's attention, but Luo Xiaoli didn't care about Yun Fei's attitude at all, and continued to cook and feed water in her own way.

The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and there are many people in the factory going home to celebrate the New Year, but the entire factory has not stopped production because of the Chinese New Year.The original two shifts became a normal work and rest time because many people asked for leave to go home.

Although Yun Fei said he was going to leave, he has not left now, and still occupies the position of deputy factory director of Qingfeng Machinery.Around the Chinese New Year, although the entire factory had a backlog of orders, Yunfei did not force the workers who stayed in the factory to work overtime. After being busy for half a year, everyone took advantage of the Chinese New Year to relax for a few days.

The perfect organizational structure of the factory made him, the deputy factory manager, free. Even without him, the short-term production of the whole factory would not be chaotic.Yun Fei, who was waiting for news from Ren Zhiguo, was too lazy to wander around the workshop, and stayed in his office every day, thinking about adding a standard PMC axis drive module to the three-axis machining center.

This is fairly simple in theory.But in actual operation, it is extremely complicated.Not only does it involve electronic circuits, hydraulics and pneumatics, and the linkage of several different axes, but the most important thing is to design a single-chip microcomputer that can simultaneously control at least four axes of linkage.

The so-called single-chip microcomputer is to integrate a computer system onto a small piece of silicon.In later generations, this thing will be used in so many places, such as mobile phones, telephones, calculators, home phones, etc., will be used in most electronic products.

SCM can also be said to be a simple computer.However, the single-chip microcomputers used in CNC machine tools are not comparable to those used in these small electrical products.In this era, all CNC machine tools use dedicated industrial control chips.Since the technology is far from being as developed as later generations, most CNC machine tools use dozens or even hundreds of industrial control chips to connect in series at the same time, so as to satisfy the control of various complex actions during the machining process of the machine tool.

In this era in China, the research on single-chip microcomputers has just started. Yunfei doesn't know where to find someone who can develop industrial control chips that can control a four-axis machining center that performs a lot of complex calculations all the time.For the single-chip microcomputer, he only understands it.

In his previous life, Yun Fei originally wanted to study single-chip microcomputers when he was a graduate student, but later found that almost all the people sweeping the streets were graduate students.In the era when studying for a few years was not as beneficial as spending a few more years in school, Yun Fei joined the factory after graduation.

It was hard to find a job, which made him a majestic undergraduate student learn machine tool operation techniques from the workers and masters. From the simplest, it took a full ten years to get mixed up to the level of a senior technician.Not only did the leader have objections to Yunfei, but also colleagues in the entire department criticized Yunfei for not doing his job properly, but following the workers to learn how to operate the machine tool in front of a technician.

Yun Fei didn't care about the ridicule and ridicule of his colleagues.At least, the income and status of ordinary technicians like him are far from being comparable to those of master workers who are skilled workers.

In Yunfei's former factory, many master craftsmen in their 40s and [-]s worked as the most ordinary operators, but their salaries were higher than those of department managers.Every time there is a new product development, the department manager has to speak good words to those experienced and skilled masters.

If anyone offends the old master, he will just drop the work in hand and say, "If you have the ability, I will stop doing it..." Even the boss of the company will have to say good things to coax him.

Why?Isn't it because of the superb technology in his hands!Master craftsmen will never worry about not being able to find a job, and many small factories even support these master craftsmen.This is not for anything else, but for the master to be able to use his technology and experience to produce the product when encountering high-precision and difficult machining parts.

As we all know, the higher the precision, the more difficult it is to process parts, the higher the processing fee, which means the greater the profit.Yunfei had encountered such a thing many times in a friend's machining factory.

Once, a friend's factory equipment needed to use a complex special-shaped part, and holes on eight surfaces needed to be processed, and the error between each hole could not exceed 0.02mm.After looking for countless outsourcing processing factories, others dare not take over after seeing the drawings, and even refused without asking the price.In the end, my friend had no choice but to find a retired veteran technician of the aerospace system through the relationship. Others just read the drawings for a while, and then quoted a processing fee of 2 yuan!

Someone said, use a machining center with more than five axes.Those who say this are definitely people who don't know much about machining centers.Because no matter what kind of high-end equipment you have, you need to clamp the parts during processing. It is impossible for any high-end machine tool to complete the processing of such a mechanical part product with an incomparable shape that needs to be processed on every surface.

As long as the processing cannot be completed in one clamping, the accuracy requirements of the position cannot be guaranteed.

Yun Fei was present at the time, and felt a chill in his heart.This is simply Chi Guoguo's extortion!He thought, no matter what, the processing fee for a fist-sized part cannot be so outrageous!Unexpectedly, his friend readily agreed on the spot, and asked the master if 2 yuan was enough.

Yun Fei was dumbfounded at the time.

In the end, when I saw the old master working, his mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg.The master craftsman spent three days making a few small tools, and the processing time was less than an hour for each of the eight sides, and the time for actually starting the machine tool in less than an hour would never More than 5 minutes!The rest of the time is spent finding alignment!

In the end, Yun Fei asked the master, why did he charge such a high price for such a short period of time? Isn't this obviously extortion?

The master told Yunfei: "This is the price of technology and experience."

In the end, Yunfei's friend told him that the master's words were correct, and this is the price of technology and experience.If the part does not have the limitation of spatial dimension accuracy between the eight faces, any senior technician can do it.A four-axis or five-axis machining center can only process six faces of the part at the same time at most, and the position of the two faces and these processed faces is not easy to control.

After all, no matter how precise the CNC machining center is, there will be machining errors.And processing errors will accumulate.Machine tools are not human beings, so they don't know how to automatically eliminate those machining errors.

Later, Yunfei met a repairman and repaired the equipment that his company spent tens of millions of dollars on.Dozens of maintenance engineers in the whole factory worked for several days but couldn't find out the reason. Finally, they could only find maintenance personnel through the agent.

That maintenance cost 1 yuan.And all the maintenance guy did was reconnect a tiny wire!

Yunfei's boss was furious at the time: "You said you can connect such a cable, is it worth 1 yuan? If our engineers do it, it won't even cost [-] yuan!"

The repairman laughed on the spot: "Indeed, it costs less than 1 yuan to connect this wire. My fee structure is like this - the wiring fee is 99 yuan, and the connection fee is [-] yuan. .”

This is technology; this also requires a wealth of experience!

Because of these, Yunfei firmly believes that in order to become an excellent mechanical technician, one must be familiar with the operation of various equipment and master the performance of various machine tools.Only by understanding these can we be a better technician.Otherwise, I don’t even know how to process it, or even what equipment is needed to process the product in my hand. After the task is arranged, the operator will just say: “I’m sorry, I really can’t do this. , why don't you come and teach me how to turn an octahedron on a lathe without tooling..."

Once upon a time, Yunfei met a superb colleague.That guy just came out of school and studied mechanical design, but he was in charge of craftsmanship in Yunfei's factory. He directly found a miller and asked that miller to mill threads on an ordinary milling machine.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, not only did Ren Zhiguo not show up, he didn't even make a phone call.

Yun Fei became more and more anxious.He can count on the military behind Kamart to provide him with a group of various talents to develop the PMC axis drive module that is attached to the three-axis machining center.Without all kinds of experienced technicians and engineers in the hands of the military, how can he figure out the information related to it unless he has superpowers in the Internet, or carries a supercomputer from an alien civilization with him? Countless professional fourth axis to come?

Tomorrow is February 1992, 2, which is the 2th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be on February 29. There is still no news from Ren Zhiguo. Fang supports how he should start.

Working in Qingfeng Machinery is not only because Yunfei has no original capital to start, but more importantly, this talent belongs to the era of state monopoly. How difficult it is to open a technology-intensive and capital-intensive factory difficulty.

It gradually darkened.Yun Fei was smoking a cigarette in the office, thinking about what he should do next year.It is impossible for him to stay at Qingfeng Machinery and wait for an unknown result.

The originally planned trip to Guangshu must be brought forward.We can't wait for them to come up with an extremely low-end system until August. If that happens, the things they planned will be even more distant.

He doesn't want to see German or English printed on the high-end machine tools of the whole country 20 years after he came to this world.
