Analysis of the development of the global mold industry How to mold the second leap in China?

2017-01-17 10:10:38 VEO Industrial Limited Read

China's mold manufacturing technology has been a qualitative leap in recent decades, the mold industry from small to large, the rapid rise of the world's mold manufacturing power, we can call this stage of China's first mold takeoff.

With the development of China's auto industry, independent brands to high-end march, the rise of new energy vehicles, the market put forward new demands, we need to move from low-end mold to high-end mold, mold power from mold power to achieve China Mold the second take-off. How to achieve from low to high, from big to strong changes, how to achieve the second leap in China mold, is worth every Chinese mold factory, each Chinese mold people think.

At present, China, the United States, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Italy, the six largest mold manufacturer of the mold production occupies the absolute status of the world, China's mold output is the world's most.

The United States, Japan, Germany and other developed countries in the mold manufacturing industry in production and management has the following characteristics:

(1) staff to streamline, Europe and the United States on the scale of the majority of small enterprises, the number of employees more than a hundred people less, the number of mold enterprises are generally 20 to 50 people. Enterprises are very streamlined configuration of various types of personnel, more than a specialist, one more than the staff, companies do not see idlers.

(2) the use of specialized, product positioning standards. Most of the mold factory is around the automotive, electronics and other industries on the needs of various types of mold to determine their product positioning and market positioning. In order to survive in the market competition, and development, each mold manufacturers have their own advantages of technology and products, and have adopted a specialized mode of production. Europe and the United States on both the majority of mold enterprises have a number of long-term cooperation mold users in large mold companies around a number of mold production collaboration manufacturers.

(3) the advanced management information system, realizes the integrated management. Europe and the United States die enterprises, especially the larger die enterprises, basically to achieve the computer management. From the production planning, process development, quality control, inventory, statistics, and so on, the widespread use of computers, various departments within the company through the computer network to share information.

(4) process management advanced, high degree of standardization. With the domestic mold factory mostly to fitter-based or fitter lamination of the production organization mode is different from Europe and the United States mold manufacturers rely on advanced technology equipment and process routes to ensure the accuracy of parts and production schedule. Europe and the United States die advanced technology and advanced management, so that the production of large, sophisticated and complex mold, the promotion of automotive, electronics, telecommunications, home appliances and other industries played an extremely important role, but also to the mold business has brought good Economic benefits.

American mold industry

The United States existing about 7,000 mold enterprises, 15 people below 60%, 15-50 people accounted for 30%. As a result of the highly developed industrialization, the US mold industry has long been a mature high-tech industries, in the world. American mold specialization division of labor is very clear, each mold factory has its own advantages, the basic are specialized all the way, we have worked with the United States Synergis mold factory, for example, they are specialized to do chassis sub-frame mold, do Progressive die and multi-station mold. We have a model of sub-frame, respectively, manufacturing 3 copies, one in the Americas, one in Europe, one in Asia. We are responsible for processing, assembly, to achieve the initial acceptance of the degree of delivery by the US mold factory is responsible for the final commissioning. This cooperation is beneficial to both sides, we are also large-scale multi-station mold design and manufacturing learn a lot.

Ford mold factory side of the mold processing, manufacturing cycle only 8 weeks. This is a miracle in our view, but they did. Mold pre-process, the design is not in the mold factory, in the R & D department, mold factory is only responsible for the foam model from the beginning of the manufacturing process. As the preliminary work well, few changes in processing, which gave the mold to save a lot of time. Die processing plant to send a foam-casting, casting back to start CNC machining, as is the automatic conversion table, 24-hour non-stop, processing efficiency is very high. And because of pre-work such as springback, deformation, etc. to consider more detailed, coupled with actuarial technology, so the processing of the mold directly on the press commissioning, the first pieces of qualified rate can reach 85-90%, thus showing the US specialization Processing technology.

According to statistics, 2014 US per capita output value of mold about 1.27 million yuan.

Japan mold industry

According to the Japanese Ministry of Industry statistics, Japan has a total of about 10,000 mold manufacturing plant, of which 20 or less accounted for more than 91%, the Japanese mold industry to small and medium enterprises mainly rely on specialized division of labor, complete high-quality mold design, Processing. As Japan's specialized division of labor well, small and medium-sized mold manufacturing enterprises as a whole, the Japanese mold in the mold market occupies a higher share of the world.

I went to Japan in 1988, mold factory, the real type of casting field learning, mold factory only processing large pieces of the main pieces, the rest are assigned to the following small factory to process, design a special design company, missing block steel, a phone soon It is processed, sent to the designated location. Lack of screws or nails, but also a phone quickly sent to the designated location, the division of labor system, supporting system is perfect.

However, due to China, South Korea, the rise of mold, with the price advantage on Japan caused a great impact in the middle and low technology content of the mold market has become a Japanese small and medium enterprises die molder of the main competitors. It is precisely because of this, the Japanese mold enterprises have to focus on high-grade mold production and technology upgrades to avoid price competition. That is small and fine, small and specialized technology accumulation as a source of competitiveness, prompting small and medium enterprises die innovation, and create a sustainable development environment. Many Japanese mold manufacturers are actively expanding investment in equipment. In processing, a large number of unattended processing unit, or through the computer for online control. Mold technology development mainly to the high-precision, high speed, long life, complexity, large-scale, integration and high-performance aspects of development.

According to statistics in 2014 Japan's per capita output value of mold about 120 million yuan.

Germany mold industry

Germany is one of the earliest countries in mold production in Europe. Its mold manufacturing technology and mold quality are recognized by users all over the world. It is one of the most important high-end mold supplier in the world. After years of practice and exploration, the German mold manufacturers to form a consensus: that the whole industry must be coordinated, team work, technological innovation, complementarity and common progress, play a good overall advantage in order to obtain the success of the industry. In addition, in order to meet the needs of today's rapid development of new products, not only in Germany, large companies to establish a new development center, and many small and medium enterprises have to do, take the initiative to do research and development work for customers. Germany has always been very active in research and has become an important basis for its unbeaten in the international market. In the fierce competition, the German mold industry for many years to maintain a strong position in the international market, the export rate has been stable at around 33%. According to the German Machinery Manufacturers Association (VDMA) data show that the number of mold manufacturers about 5,000, but the mold industry structure is still small and medium enterprises: 20 people accounted for 80%, 20-100 people accounted for 19%, 100 1% or more.

According to statistics in 2014 the per capita output value of Germany die about 200 million yuan.
