With the development of China machine industry, the tool industry has been an unprecedented development, a substantial increase in production for many companies, but this increase did not have much to rely on technological progress, but mainly in our country cheap labor-based.
For the tool industry, there is no doubt that the ability to innovate must be improved. Either copy mature foreign products, such as lack of product innovation, or lack of homogeneity of characteristics, so the competitiveness of its products will naturally deteriorate. However, the transformation of the economic development industry must catch up and exceed the international level, and the development of innovative products is an inevitable requirement. Without innovation, we can only become market followers but miss the opportunity to become market leaders. It is also necessary to have this innovative ability to improve the quality and level of our management personnel, technicians, and operators. In the tool industry, this is an important strategic direction. The tool is the consumption of tungsten, cobalt, titanium and other resources in a large industry, how to reduce the consumption of these resources in the entire life cycle of the tool to reduce the carbon emissions in the entire life cycle, and how to establish the cost of low emissions, The high-capacity tool industry is worth pondering.
Now we have been developing new technologies and new products, which have brought many new demands to the tool industry. The development direction of these tool industries is the R&D progress and technology of these customers, and the development of appropriate tool products and solutions is both an opportunity and a challenge for the industry. If we can meet the needs of these customers, many companies will be able to achieve the goal of central government transformation to improve the level of manufacturing and will remain competitive for a period of time in the future.
In the metal cutting industry, in addition to the use of advanced technology options. The demand for future processing is increasing, and only advanced processing technology can meet these needs.
In order to adapt to changing production requirements and increasingly challenging workpiece materials, cutting tool technology is rapidly developing. Today’s machinery and factories need to look at their cutting tools and tool suppliers in a different way.
The role of cutting tools and tool suppliers is changing, faster than any other element in the machining process. In fact, the changes in cutting tools are so great that any aggressive machinery factory now needs to reassess their thinking about cutting tools. Not only do they need to study how to choose specific tools, but they also need to re-examine the basic concepts of workshop tools that affect the entire application. In these core concepts, as the rules of cutting tools have changed, some are now obsolete.
The company’s engineering experts listed a series of factors that affect the function and application of cutting tools today, some of which include:
(1) It is challenging to the workpiece material. Including alternative metal alloy materials and difficult-to-machine materials. Some materials are 1/4 less machinable than steel, and some materials can cost as much as hundreds of dollars per pound.
(2) The geometry of the workpiece is increasingly complex. For example, thin-walled workpieces and complex-shaped aerospace components.
(3) The workpiece size is large. In particular, the demand for turbines and various heavy machinery parts is constantly increasing. There is a huge demand for each of these high-cost workpiece machining.
