403 The impact of CNC machine tools on the aircraft industry

"Mr. Deng, you have wronged me. These female workers heard that you came to our Rongcheng Aircraft Factory to inspect the work, and spontaneously organized to welcome you!" Huang Qiaosong knew the old man's temper, so how dare he say it now? truth?

The old man has always disliked extravagance and waste, and he is very low-key wherever he goes. If he knows that in order to welcome him, most of the young female workers in the workshop will stop working to welcome him, he must be the factory manager.

Regarding Huang Qiaosong's words, the old man was noncommittal.

Although he didn't like this kind of welcome ceremony, since it was like this, he didn't pursue anything further, and walked forward to shake hands with the young female workers who waved plastic flowers in their hands and shouted welcome one by one.

At this time, the cameras imported from abroad in the hands of the reporters of the news media began to flicker rapidly, as if the film did not ask for money.

They can't participate in the itineraries with many elderly people in Rongcheng Aircraft Factory, because it involves military secrets, so they have to find news materials in these places to deal with their superiors.If anyone dared to go to the workshops of Factory 132 to take pictures, he would probably be invited to drink tea by some secret department before leaving the gate of Rongcheng Aircraft Factory.

"This is the boss of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, Yunfei..." Huang Qiaosong shook hands with the leaders of the inspection team one by one. Of course, the leaders of the provincial government who were arranged to accompany the old man in the afternoon also had to shake hands one by one. Although we meet every day, it's a formal occasion.But when it came to Yunfei, Huang Qiaosong saw such a young man, and thought it was the descendants of some big boss who had come to gain insight.

"Long-awaited, long-awaited... Boss Yun is indeed young and promising!" Huang Qiaosong held Yun Fei, the young boss, tightly.

With the development of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, Yun Fei, a young man who almost publishes newspapers every day, is a household name in Rongcheng. [

Rongcheng Aircraft Factory, a state-owned factory with tens of thousands of people, is not as profitable as a factory with less than 2000 people. How can he not pay attention to this young man?

Besides, CNC machine tools have a considerable impact on the aircraft industry. Many precise key parts require CNC machine tools to process to ensure quality.

The Rongcheng Aircraft Factory has merged with the 611 Institute and changed its name to Rongcheng Aircraft Industry Company. Its design and development capabilities are still very strong.

No matter how strong the design strength is.It has to be transformed into real objects to be verified.

Many parts on the aircraft are complex three-dimensional surfaces.For general equipment processing, the time for manual correction and polishing at the end is far longer than the time for pre-processing.Moreover, manual polishing is very error-prone, and if you don't pay attention, it will be scrapped.

As foreign high-precision three-axis machining centers are gradually released to mainland China, Rongcheng Aircraft Factory has acquired many CNC machine tools from European and American countries and small devils.However, it is not so easy for Rongcheng Aircraft Factory to obtain more three-axis CNC machine tools.

First, lack of money!Rongcheng Aircraft Factory did not make much profit in the case of a sharp drop in military orders.Even if there are profits from civilian products, research on all aspects of fighter jets must be supplemented. The country's annual financial allocation cannot fully satisfy all research projects.Where is there still a lot of money to purchase CNC machine tools imported from abroad?

Second, there is still a lack of money.Although the three-axis CNC milling machine produced by Jiuyi Heavy Industry has greatly reduced the price of imported CNC milling machines.But that's just CNC milling machines and CNC lathes.Rongcheng Aircraft Factory's demand for CNC machine tools is not CNC lathes and CNC milling machines. What they need are mid-to-high-end CNC machine tools with three-axis linkage or more!

At present, the number of four-axis machining centers in China does not exceed [-], and they are all divided up by the major factories of the two domestic aerospace systems.Want to buy more?Even if others are willing to sell, China is not willing to buy.

Even if the price of the four-axis CNC machining center has been greatly reduced, but one is more than 150 million US dollars!

What Rongcheng Aircraft Factory needs is a five-axis machining center that is more expensive than four-axis!

Not to mention that foreign countries will not export to China.That price alone is borne by Chinese law.

An international smuggling team has said that a set of 600 million US dollars can help China get a second-hand five-axis machining center.

This price is actually very fair. You must know that smuggling a five-axis machining center to mainland China involves the risk of being hunted down by the entire world.Ten years have passed since the Toshiba incident that year, but European and American countries are now embargoing China, which became the leader of the socialist camp after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, even more severely, but it has turned from the open to the dark.

It can greatly improve the manufacturing technology of military industry.Especially the manufacture of core components related to the improvement of the entire combat power, such as engine impellers and submarine propellers. On the surface, the five-axis machining center’s embargo against China is no longer as strong as it was during the Cold War, but China wanted to do it in the mid-90s. To the five-axis machining center, it is not easy at all. [

At that time, the Soviet Union obtained four five-axis machining centers from Japan, with a total cost of more than 3000 million US dollars.

You know, that was the price in the early 80s.

The average price per unit is over $750.What was China's per capita income in those years?three hundred?five hundred?

Therefore, the offer made by the smuggling team was not too high.

If China hadn't put the entire country's strategy on economic development in the mid-80s, let alone 600 million US dollars, it would be 6000 million US dollars, and China might bite the bullet and buy a few units.

Now that a world "war" cannot be fought at all, China's willingness to develop military industry is not so strong.

"Where, where! The boy is just an ordinary nouveau riche, with a superficial appearance..." Yun Fei answered Huang Qiaosong's words with a smile on his face.

Rongcheng Aircraft Factory is now mainly producing spare parts for some fighter jets and a small amount of fighter trainer planes. Most of its energy is devoted to the research of Xiaolong fighter jets, and at the same time it is working on the theoretical design of J-[-].

Yun Fei knew that the theoretical design of the Xiaolong fighter jet had been completed, and now it is estimated that the final assembly of the test prototype is about to be completed. The news he learned was that the Xiaolong fighter jet, which he began to study in [-], had its first flight in [-]. After all, the "performance" of this thing has not improved across generations. For China and Pakistan, it may be a relatively advanced fighter jet, but the third-generation fighter jets in foreign countries have entered service, and the fourth-generation design has come to an end. With the theoretical research of the fifth-generation fighter jets already underway, the aircraft produced by the Rongcheng Aircraft Factory pose no threat to the European and American powers.

But what caught Yun Fei the most was the J-[-] that Rongcheng Aircraft Factory made its first flight in [-].

China's third-generation fighter jets have been researched as early as the 80s, but they are limited to materials and manufacturing levels. Until now, they have not made much breakthrough progress.The most important thing is that in terms of design, Chinese designers do not have any real objects for reference.

In addition, China's research has to be based on Russian engines. The old Maozi is no different from the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union in the same camp back then restricted exports to China because of China's reform and opening up and worried that China would fall into the embrace of the capitalist camp. It is not the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the newly established Russian economy is extremely sluggish, and Russia will not export aircraft engines to China.

Even so, Lao Maozi often raises prices and puts forward some additional conditions.

"Mr. Yun, has your company made breakthrough progress in the research of CNC machine tools?" Huang Qiaosong is very looking forward to when Jiuyi Heavy Industry will be able to successfully develop a four-axis machining center.

If Rongcheng Aircraft Factory wants to upgrade its technology, it must first upgrade its manufacturing equipment on a large scale, and a machining center with more than three axes is what they lack the most.Machining centers in Taiwan can be bought in large quantities, but those things are not only expensive, but also the machining accuracy is not very high. It is very reluctant to process some precision aircraft parts.

"..." Yun Feiyu, this guy doesn't go to accompany the old man, but behaves well in front of those central leaders and the leaders of the boss Pakistan, but now he comes to ask about the situation of his company!

"Director Huang, let's talk about this matter when we come down, let's talk about it later..." Yun Fei could only gently remind Huang Qiaosong that now is not the time to talk about these things.

"Hehe..." After Yun Fei's reminder, Huang Qiaosong turned his glowing eyes to those leaders.

The main funder of the Xiaolong fighter is Pakistan, and the main purpose of Iran, Yugoslavia and other countries visiting China is to conduct military procurement.They are very interested in the Xiaolong fighter jet jointly developed by Pakistan and China, which is said to have produced a test prototype.

Heavy-duty fighter jets are not suitable for small countries like them, otherwise, once the pilot gets windy and accelerates, he will fly to the airspace of other countries...

In fact, what they most want to buy are Chinese guides.

China's guides are of good quality, high precision, and low price, and they are simply representatives of the world's most affordable and high-quality products.However, the base of the aerospace company next to Jiuyi Heavy Industry has not yet been completed, and the relocated are only some civilian product workshops that make auto parts and other civilian products. Otherwise, they would not go to the aerospace company after visiting Jiuyi Heavy Industry. After a while, he ran to see the fighter jets under the flicker of Pakistani officials.

"Everyone, after these years of continuous expansion and upgrading of plant and equipment, Rongcheng Aircraft Factory has an annual production capacity of [-] light fighters. Now these aircrafts being assembled are the most widely used fighter trainers in our country. Aircraft..." Huang Qiaosong led the crowd to the front of the aisle covered with green paint in the middle of the workshop, pointing at the aircraft being assembled and explaining.
