Looking forward to the future of China’s fixture industry
Let’s first look at the gap:
In the field of overall fixture design, such as innovation ability, design concept and business ability, China has been in the forefront of the world. (A-B grade)
In the field of basic components, such as precision machine tools, pneumatic components, hydraulic components, non-standard oil cylinders, and standardization of functional components, we are far from each other. (Relative to Level D)
In terms of automation: due to the lack of bottom industry, China’s automation is mainly based on foreign countries. (equivalent to Grade D)
Advanced Achievements of Chinese Fixtures
Innovation ability and design concept include: precision, intelligence, informatization, efficiency, lightweight, etc.
① Precision: with a large amount of money, we can still buy high-precision equipment. With good control means and advanced detection instruments, we can meet foreign requirements for precision: for example, the pin hole spacing is ± 0.007 (the previous standard is ± 0.01)
② Intelligentization: Fully automatic intelligent fixtures with “perception” and “adaptive” functions, such as pin break detection, identity recognition, invisible bracket, pressing plate (pressing, loosening, breaking) detection, positioning monitoring, accuracy self correction, chip removal design and other fields. This piece has already taken the lead in the world.
③ Informatization: This mainly uses the modern Internet to help our industry become information-based, visual and programmable. Dongfeng connected to the Internet is one of the world’s leading enterprises.
④ High efficiency: mainly refers to modularization, rapid type change and other fields (compared with the rigidity of other countries, China’s achievements are more flexible and adaptable)
⑤ Lightweight: the purpose is to reduce the weight of the fixture as much as possible to meet the requirements of multi axis equipment while ensuring rigidity and accuracy.
