Innovation boosts development of Ningbo presses industry

Since the beginning of this year, the international crude oil price has soared. The prices of plastics and other raw materials have also risen. The injection molding machine market has been affected and demand has weakened significantly. In the face of a rapidly changing market environment, Ningbo injection molding machine manufacturers have accelerated technological innovation and new product development, constantly optimized production techniques, and forged the healthy development of the press industry.
Ningbo is one of China's most important plastics manufacturing sites. The output of presses accounts for 54% of the country's total output. Of the 10 largest presses in the country, Ningbo has 5 seats. Analysts believe that despite the rapid development of the Ningbo press industry, there are less than 20 of the more than 140 complete machine manufacturers with independent research and development capabilities, and the vast majority of manufacturers still rely on imitation, “buying expensive imported equipment and doing cheap "The consumer products", this is the pain of Ningbo manufacturing. Therefore, how to realize the change from big to strong as soon as possible has become a new topic faced by the Ningbo press industry. Not long ago, the national announcement focused on cultivating the “Eleventh Five-Year” China Famous Brand Product Catalogue. The injection molding machine was listed as the target for the establishment in 2007, which provided a good opportunity for Ningbo Plastic Machinery to become a Chinese brand name brand. At present, four key enterprises in the city have been listed in the work plan for creating famous brands in China, and a number of companies have also set up plans to create provincial brand names and city-level brand names.
Under the background of economic globalization, the path for the development of press manufacturing is destined to be independent innovation. Recently, Ningbo Haitian Group officially signed up for Ningbo R&D Park, and purchased a nearly 8,000 square meter independent research space in the R&D Park to expand the research and development of Ningbo Haitian Plastic Machinery Research Institute. This is the third enterprise project of Haitian Group. (Technology Center. It is reported that Haitian Group, which has always been committed to the research and development of new products and new technologies, invests 5% of its annual sales revenue as a research and development fund for scientific and technological innovations and strengthens the development of key technologies. This year's total funding is about 150 million yuan. Haitai Company always pays attention to the optimization and upgrading of products and technological innovation. A total of 45 million yuan has been invested in technological transformation. Recently, they successfully developed the HTSA2500 double servo control oil-electric composite energy-saving injection molding machine, which not only has good energy-saving effect (up to 40%). , And in the structure of the use of piston rotary injection cylinder, elastic rod nut, hollow spherical head plate and the tail plate of the plywood connected structure and other four patented technologies, product performance to achieve the advanced level at home and abroad, is expected to reach 2008 Production. The focus of research and development of Ningbo Hongxun Technology Co., Ltd. is on high-tech products such as control computers for electric injection molding machines, servo drive systems, injection molding machine network management systems, and numerical control machine control computers. At present, Ningbo’s leading backbone enterprises are continuously launching high-value-added, cost-effective presses that are in desperate need of the market, and large-scale second-plate machines, high-speed machines, and energy-savings that are independently researched and developed, according to the actual needs of domestic plastic processing companies. Variable frequency machines, all-electric injection molding machines and other models, have been in the domestic leading position in terms of technical performance.
In addition to presses companies to improve their own R & D and innovation capabilities, the Ningbo Municipal Government also gave the corresponding policy support for the press industry. In September this year, the municipal government issued the "Notice on the 2007 Special Project Plan for the Advancement of Key Technological Industries in Key Advantage Industries (the First Batch)", and the Haitian Group has an annual output of 3,000 full-electric injection molding machines and 15 technological transformations. Items are included in the plan. According to the spirit of the document, the projects included in the municipal special plan will be given 8% of the financial subsidies according to the project's actual investment in production equipment, test equipment, and technology. Not long ago, Ningbo Haitian Group Co., Ltd. received a national grant of 5 million yuan. They will build a precision plastic injection molding visualization experiment platform and a polymer material performance test platform, and purchase ultrasonic testing systems, rapid prototyping testing machines, and PVT testing systems. Simulation design software. It is reported that after the completion of the project with a total investment of more than RMB 40 million, domestic plastic machines will achieve major breakthroughs in energy saving, injection speed, positional error, product repeatability, and mechanical noise, and will shorten the gap with the international advanced level.
Secretary of the Ningbo Plastics Machinery Association, Shi Bo, stated at the 2007 China Injection Molding Annual Meeting that the production center, research and development center and new product launch center for Ningbo to become the world press has become the theme of the Ningbo Plastics Industry in the next few years. Cultivating plastic machinery talents, strengthening R&D investment, and introducing industry giants have become the three steps for Ningbo to build the world press center. According to reports, during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, Ningbo City will speed up the structural adjustment of plastic products. By 2010, the plastic machinery industry will reach 90,000 sets (sets) of output and 20 billion yuan in industrial output value, so that the output value of new presses The current 10% rises to 30% in 2010, turning large precision presses products almost entirely on imports into 50% on domestic production, and achieving a substantial change from large to strong in the press industry.
