Smart Industrial Empire

The lathe is the real mother of industry.All rotary equipment such as milling machines and drilling machines are improved from lathes.

Lathe processing is mainly that the parts do rotary motion, and the cutting tool does linear motion; while milling machine, the tool does rotary motion, and the parts do linear motion.Lathes and milling machines are the most widely used machining equipment in the world.

Although it will be gradually replaced by CNC lathes, machining centers, and other professional CNC machine tools in later generations, no matter how it is improved, CNC lathes are still lathes, and the principle of processing has not changed from ordinary lathes. The tool change, advance and retreat of the tool are replaced by computer chip control.

The same is true for the machining center, which also replaces the manual operation of workers on ordinary milling machines with computer chip control.

Lathes are the earliest machining and cutting equipment used in the world.

The first lathe appeared before the British Industrial Revolution.At that time, it was only used to process some rotary parts made of wood. It is said that in Britain at that time, the earliest simple lathe was mainly used to process the axles of carriages.However, due to the problem of machining accuracy at that time, the structure of the lathe was very simple, and it could even be said to be crude.Of course, the machining error is also calculated in millimeters.

With the promotion of the industrial revolution, various mechanical equipment have higher and higher requirements for precision. As the main mechanical processing equipment at that time, the lathe was continuously improved.With the continuous development of mechanical equipment, as well as new equipment and raw materials, the requirements for cutting machine tools are higher, and lathes are gradually becoming mature.

The earliest lathes used in the industrial revolution were powered by steam engines.

A lathe machine shop, the lathes are neatly arranged, and on top of the head of the lathe, there is a huge shaft with pulleys hanging on it, that is to say.Several lathes use the same drive shaft.As long as one lathe is running, the lathes that use the same transmission shaft, either without a belt or with a belt, must start.Moreover, when the machine tool is started, it is impossible to manually change the speed during the machining process.

According to parts with different diameters, the speed of the lathe must be adjusted before the machine is started.If you want to adjust, you have to stop all the lathes driven by that drive shaft.

to the back.With the emergence of electric motors, lathes are truly mature.Each lathe has an independent transmission system.

"Brother Yunfei, I heard that there are many factories in China producing lathes, and many factories are not very profitable." Although she has been staying in the hospital, Ni Lishuang was determined to become Yunfei's good wife since she was a child. , but has been concerned about Yunfei's affairs.

Ever since she knew that Yunfei had taken over the 9327 factory, although she didn't know where Yunfei got so much money from.But she is smart and doesn't ask about this matter.Many people are not optimistic about Yunfei's production of machine tools, but she still silently supports Yunfei.When she was in the hospital, she asked the Mao sisters to help her buy magazine papers on company management or find some mechanical aspects every day.

Since she was a child, although she did not receive professional training from the old men like Yun Fei and the others, she also attended a lot.She didn't want to know nothing about what her elder brother Yunfei did when she grew up.

Although I know a lot about the basic knowledge of mechanics.But I don't know anything about management.When she was in technical school, she was an accountant, and Yun Fei had already revealed to her that she wanted her to be the financial director of the entire company.Although she also wanted to be the financial director of a factory with thousands of people, she also understood.With the basic accounting knowledge she learned in technical school, it is difficult to make even the most basic financial statements. It is simply impossible to manage a company's finances.

If those old accountants under her command collude to tamper with the accounts, she, who is inexperienced, cannot bear the responsibility.

"You don't understand this. Although there are many factories producing lathes, their production experience is more abundant than ours. However, lathes are also the most widely used machine tools in the world, far more than milling machines and planers. Equipment. We have just entered the civilian machine tool market, and we can only produce lathes with the largest volume, which will not only open up the market, but also allow our factory to invest more funds in the development of new equipment.” When it came up, it produced the lathes with the most domestic manufacturers. Yunfei had never explained to anyone before.

The reason why Yunfei wanted to produce lathes from the very beginning was not only because Yunfei had a lot of contacts in the Pearl River Delta in the field of machining, and lathes could bring more funds to his company, but more importantly, if he wanted to develop CNC machine tools and CNC lathes are the entry-level CNC machine tools.

As long as the ball screw is developed and the stepping motor is used, it can produce a simple CNC lathe that still occupies the vast majority of the domestic market when Yunfei left his world.

The production of simple CNC lathes can not only accumulate a large amount of production experience, but with experience, it can develop in the direction of precision CNC lathes. Similarly, with the large profits brought by CNC lathes, there will be more research funds for CNC milling machines.

It's not that Yunfei doesn't want to produce CNC milling machines or more advanced CNC machining centers as soon as he comes up.

However, there are so many engineers and technicians from the Soviet network, although many of them have research experience in CNC machine tools, but Yunfei really sneered at the Soviet Union's technology in CNC technology.

They are going in the wrong direction, even further than China.

Although China has followed the Soviet Union's big brother in the wrong direction in the research of CNC machine tools, but due to its poor foundation and weak foundation, China has not gone far in the production of special machine assembly lines.Now if you want to develop CNC technology, you only need to understand the development direction of CNC technology in Europe and the United States. Although China has no foundation and a weak foundation, it is very difficult to research, but it will not be substituted by inertial thinking like the Soviet Union.

Yun Fei also knew that it was impossible to count on these electrical engineers from the Soviet Union to study CNC machine tools.For the first batch of CNC machine tools that the company will produce, he will use the Long CNC system produced by Huadu CNC.That system was originally copied by himself, and it is completely sufficient for a CNC machine tool that is not very sophisticated.

Yunfei didn't want to be hostile by those foreign CNC machine tool manufacturers when he was just starting out and fledgling.

He knew that if he cooperated with foreign CNC machine tool manufacturers, Taiwanese machine tool manufacturers would definitely serve as cannon fodder for foreigners.At that time, if I am bruised all over because of fighting with Taiwanese machine tool manufacturers, any company that exports CNC machine tools to China will be able to wipe out its Jiuyi Heavy Industry.

Now the production of CNC machine tools in China has become hot because of the emergence of Long CNC.Yunfei, a newly established factory, as long as it does not produce machine tools that are far superior to other domestic machine tool manufacturers in the same industry, it can develop silently, wait for the strength to be gathered, and suddenly explode, which will definitely make those foreign CNC machines When machine tool manufacturers did not react, they occupied half of the domestic market.

On the Internet in his own world, Yun Fei has also read many analysis papers of the so-called bricks and beasts, but he sneered at them.

Many people believe that as long as Chinese machine tool manufacturers unite, they can compete with foreign machine tool manufacturers.

This is simply not feasible.In China, a country where everything is determined by the state, if this can really make China's numerical control technology develop rapidly, will the state not support it?

If the whole country boycotts foreign CNC machine tools, it will be retaliated by all foreign CNC machine tool manufacturers.

Everyone knows that China cannot produce the most high-end, super-precision CNC machine tools, but if various domestic industries want to develop, especially the manufacturing of high-precision and cutting-edge production equipment, China cannot process them without those high-end CNC machine tools.

China needs foreign high-end CNC machine tools.Although the CNC machine tools sold in China can never be the most high-end, but they are not the highest-end CNC machine tools, and China cannot produce them.

Therefore, even in Yunfei’s era, due to the rise of some CNC machine tool manufacturers such as Huashu and Capital, they occupied half of the domestic CNC machine tool market, and even occupied most of the domestic market share in the low-end CNC machine tool market.

Even under such circumstances, no one dared to suggest that foreigners should be squeezed out of China from low-end CNC machine tools.

Under the trend of such a big environment, Yun Fei can only keep a low profile.You can't be like those time-travelers in the online articles. When you just arrive in an era, the whole world has to surrender as soon as the protagonist's aura shines on you. It can be done in minutes to catch up with the Premier League.Yun Fei, a true traveler, came to this era to understand that people of any era are not so simple.

Unless, as the protagonist, he has a top-grade artifact on his body, all technologies can appear out of thin air without too many people.

Even if there is technology, there is no production experience, and the technical level of the workers is not enough, it is impossible to produce it at all.

Take the current Yunfei as an example, he has a lot of design concepts of CNC machine tools in his hand. He also saw the real objects and understood the detailed functions in his own era, but only after he learned about this era did he understand that it is not because of the design. Drawings can turn drawings into reality.

This is why China has been imitating foreign high-precision cutting-edge machine tools, but it has never been able to achieve the precision of foreign imported machine tools.

Not only because of the material, but also because of the assembly technology.

Therefore, Yunfei still had to honestly start from the most basic lathe.Lathes are the foundation of all machine tools. Only by thoroughly understanding lathes can we gradually realize the accumulation of technology for other equipment. (To be continued..)
