Recently, Deputy Secretary General of Chinese Metalforming Association, said Qi Jun, r.: “‘Twelve Five’ period, China stamping, sheet metal industry, output value of not less than 10% average annual growth rate.”. However, the United States, than their counterparts in Japan, China stamping, sheet metal industry is still relatively backward technology and equipment, and the relatively low level of information, the future to achieve economies of scale, mass production and even the personality, the need to continue to improve and the use of advanced manufacturing processes.

Future directions: low-carbon environment protection and energy saving materials

Stamping, sheet metal manufacturing industries involved in all aspects of production, can be described as a large number of wide surface, shape and process different. Years, as China became the world’s manufacturing center and the consumer, one of the industry as a manufacturing base for stamping, sheet metal industry has also achieved unprecedented development.

It is understood that there are about 40,000 National stamping industry enterprises, 200 million employees, annual production 28 million tons stamping parts, total sales of 4,000 billion yuan, annual consumption of 3 mm or less thin steel plate 4,000 tons, procurement stamping Mold costs 400 million yuan, the new equipment purchased stamping fee of 200 million. And production of sheet metal industry with 30 000 enterprises, 180 million employees, annual production of about 42 million tons of sheet metal, total sales of 500 billion yuan.

The future of stamping, sheet metal industries must meet low-carbon, environmentally friendly, energy and materials design, production and consumption concept, the production must be to precise and efficient development, the enterprise must be to the specialization, scale, globalization .

American model: safe and reliable automated production

In contrast to domestic and foreign press, the current situation of sheet metal processing companies, Qi Chun River chosen as a reference the U.S. and Japan. U.S. stamping, sheet metal company the biggest difference is automated, the different levels of information.

First, the U.S. enterprises to adopt the closed-loop control of automated production more secure, reliable, easy to run the entire production line maintenance. Enterprise has its own maintenance shop tooling, mold, or embedded on a variety of sensors installed, the application of these sensors greatly improves the security of the entire production line reliability.

Second, the U.S. stamping, sheet metal business safety awareness high. The presses are equipped with safety grating, when workers from the press too close, the pressure will automatically shut down, so as to ensure the safety of workers.

Again, the U.S. enterprise has its own management information system. Its raw materials suppliers of the materials come with bar codes, storage, through scanning, raw materials, various kinds of information will automatically enter the production database. With access to raw materials processing, various processing aspects of mainframe computer processing of information will be automatically entered into the database, and the information will always be attached to the final product.

In addition, although the United States relatively large size of the business, but not very many products, they have fixed buyers, such as Delphi, Ford, product production volume is their common characteristics. American business model is our stamping, sheet metal business development in the future!

Japanese model: process equipment shocking

Overall, the Japanese production of professional stamping parts, high degree of automation, production scale, high precision, management of human, systematic, have basically the mold development, design and processing capabilities, and generally with their Japanese hosts plant users to set up sub-factories in China.

Professional business with the Japanese press, the Chinese press of the business professional enterprise level indicators are very far, to be improved. Japanese companies, especially in the production know-how accumulated in various production and process equipment, can be described as advanced manufacturing technology and human ingenuity of the perfect combination of tradition, so that all visitors are stunned. Therefore, China should gradually improve their own enterprises in the future manufacturing technology and process equipment.

Present: the introduction of advanced manufacturing industrial equipment

Qi Chun River states: stamping parts manufacturer in China is smaller overall, behind manufacturing equipment, production mainly manual, poor stability of product quality, production efficiency is low, it is difficult to achieve mass production, on time delivery. Industries and enterprises from the following aspects of the current need to be improved and enhanced.

First, the improvement of existing process equipment, work hard and skillfully, improve product quality, product quality and delivery requirements to meet the increasing market demand, and to have the ability of the premise, as far as possible the use of advanced manufacturing processes and equipment, the establishment sound quality assurance system, improve precision, specialization, automation, information technology and manufacturing standards, to meet high-volume and flexible production requirements.

Second, enterprises should continue to improve, increase production and sales, and continue to reduce their management costs, and ensure quality to management, to benefit and improve the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises.

Third, we should attach importance to the construction personnel, in the introduction of high-quality personnel needed by enterprises in the same time, but also attention to the existing workforce re-education and training, to maintain its technical and management level with the times, the same time, to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, understanding the level of domestic industry, an important industry gathering intelligence, broaden
