Many tool companies in China have achieved such transformations to varying degrees, and have achieved certain results. They also need to increase their efforts. The first is the innovation of material grades, which accounts for a large proportion of current tool innovations, especially A large, comprehensive company with cement and superhard materials development capabilities, these companies are introducing a number of new grades each year, making them the main selling point for their new tooling products. The idea of ​​its development is based on the characteristics of the application field, the advantages of integrated materials, coatings, and troughs, and the development of the "prescription under the medicinal" type, so that the blade shows a performance advantage in a certain range of applications, resulting in good processing results. Generally, the processing efficiency can be increased by more than 20%. It can also be seen that we must accelerate the process of building a cemented carbide R&D and production base.
The second is that coatings play a large role in tool innovation. Tool coating technology has evolved very rapidly since coating technology entered the tooling field. As the coating process, equipment, and component innovations continue to accelerate, its ability to modify the tool is also increasing. Due to the remarkable effect of coating technology on improving the performance of the tool, the flexibility of the process, and the rapid development of new grades, not only the cutting performance of the tool is greatly improved and improved, but also the innovation of the blade coating grade is Fast and good. Coatings have become the most important factor driving advances in cutting technology. Up to now, China does not have the ability to independently develop tool coating equipment and processes, which restricts the progress of cutting technology in China and the innovation of coating grades. It is imperative to vigorously develop tool coating technology.
The third is the strong momentum of the tool structure, showing great potential. We have had a strong era of cutting tool innovation, and thus gained a good reputation for the reputation of the tool as a human tooth. Later, we entered a low-end period of tool innovation. Everyone made the so-called stereotyped products of the same structure according to the drawings of the joint design, and at the same time they all made standard universal tools. With the development of computer-aided design and numerical control manufacturing technology, it provides a strong material foundation for the innovation of tool structure, and usher in a new era of tool innovation.
At present, the tool structure innovation momentum is very strong, and the new tool structure introduced by each tool company has become the highlight of the machine tool exhibition in recent years. The innovative tool structure not only improves the tool performance, but also has a great impact on the development of the tool variety. For example, the milling cutter structure can greatly expand the function of the milling cutter and reduce the time for tool change. The structural features have been extended to different types of milling tools, forming various milling cutters that can be ramp-milled. Promoted the development of milling processes and milling cutters. Another example is the large-feeding small-cutting deep-cutting cutter, the unequal-spiral vibration-reducing end mill, the light-vehicle blade, the threaded turning tool with the guide rail on the bottom of the blade, the contouring turning tool, the internal cooling structure of the cutter, etc. enumerate. As soon as each new tool emerged, it caught the attention of the industry and was quickly promoted in the industry, which played a big role in developing the variety of tools to improve the performance of the tool. Many tool companies in China only make tools that do not produce tool materials, and should pay more attention to the innovation of tool structure.
At present, there is still a lot of work to be done to speed up our country's tool innovation. In addition to the need to update the equipment hardware, we must pay attention to the following two aspects of work.
On the one hand, it is to improve the basic knowledge of metal cutting in the tool industry, including design, manufacturing, marketing, service and other aspects of personnel. For the innovation of grades and coatings, professionals engaged in materials and coatings must master the basic theory of metal cutting and become a compound talent. Pay attention to learning tool application technology, especially development, marketing and field service personnel. Without knowing the requirements of the tool and not analyzing and solving the problems in use, it is difficult to innovate the tool. The innovation of cutting tools must be based on the mastery and application of basic knowledge, we must strengthen this aspect of learning. Enterprises should organize their own classes or participate in classes held in the society, which should be valued and utilized.
The other is the transformation of the tool industry. We must complete the transformation from traditional tool manufacturers to “manufacturing-oriented, user-oriented†manufacturing cutting technology service providers and processing efficiency suppliers. “Managing for the manufacturing industry, facing the users†is the modern tooling (enterprise) industry. symbols of. To this end, we must be familiar with the process characteristics of the important industrial sectors of the manufacturing industry, the main workpiece materials, production models, development direction and product development, so as to correctly and timely determine the development direction of their products and become the driving force for innovation.
Many tool companies in China have achieved such transformations to varying degrees, and have achieved certain results, but also need to increase their efforts. Serving the users is a basic skill that must be possessed by the modern tool industry. Only through service can the first-hand information of tool innovation be obtained. As a tool for productivity, tools can only continue to find problems and innovate in applications. In addition, users' new demand information can be obtained in advance.
