Cutting tool features and applications impact factor analysis tool industry development pattern

As a "second five" first year, 2011, tool industry practitioners what should be done and how? International Mould & Metal & Plastic Industry Suppliers Association official Luo Baihui view, "Twelve Five" period, will become the transformation of economic development in various industries (including tool industry including) the primary task of development. In recent years, the domestic industry as a whole tool is located on a low level, the monotony of mass production of standardized products, the industry has become a tool to rapidly improve the level of a major resistance.
With the development of China's machine tool industry gold eight years, 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.
So, this cheap labor can not last? I remember years ago when he was vice president of Kennametal global CTO Xu Xing Yang had discussed this issue. He believes that the main purpose of the majority of people out of work, is to seek to live a better life. And to live a better life and improve labor remuneration of workers is indispensable. When the labor remuneration of workers increased, if the business does not improve labor productivity, then increase the manufacturing cost has become an inevitable result, the market competitiveness of products is relatively decreased.
"The results of this development should not be the way we want." Xu Xing Yang pointed out that to control the labor remuneration of workers while improving good manufacturing costs and product margins, an optional way to increase manufacturing capacity, improve labor productivity, enable enterprises to sustainable development....Of course, the transformation of economic development than just one aspect of improving labor productivity.
First, the transformation of economic development mode of the first basic requirement is to uphold the strategic adjustment of economic structure, accelerate the transformation of the main direction of economic development. For this "proposal" put forward to enhance the core competitiveness of the manufacturing sector, the development of strategic emerging industries, accelerate the development of services and other specific measures. So, how in the tool industry practice this measure? The answer is much easier said than done much that is provided from a single product model, to provide customers with technical solutions from prenatal to postpartum, economic analysis, research bottlenecks, optimize production processes and a series of solutions a full range of products plus services model transformation tool industry will fight the advanced manufacturing industry in both the second, third and modern service industry new industry model.
Secondly, the transformation of economic development mode of the second basic requirement is that adhere to scientific and technological progress and innovation to accelerate the transformation of economic development as an important support. "Proposal" Implementing the Strategy and depth of this strategy, the first full play to science and technology resources, productivity and talent first role in enhancing the capability of independent innovation, strengthen innovation and talent, and promote the development of major scientific and technological progress, improving the quality of workers to innovation in management, accelerate the specific requirements of building an innovation-oriented country.
From the tool industry, improving innovative capacity is undoubtedly necessary. Over the years, most of the cutting tool products or standard products consistent system for decades , such as the overwhelming standard HSS twist drill ; either copy the mature foreign products , such as lack of product innovation , and the lack of homogeneity of the characteristics , so competitiveness of their products are naturally more worse. However, the transformation of economic development industry to catch up and exceed international standards , the development of innovative products is an inevitable requirement. Without innovation, we can only become a market follower, but missed becoming the market leader. And to have this ability to innovate, improve the quality and level of our management staff , technicians and operators also very necessary . For many practitioners lack of innovative ideas and innovative approaches features tool industry in recent years , industry associations began to organize the design and manufacture of modern training tool , and included in the national "professional engineering and technical personnel to update their knowledge " ( ie, " 653 Project " ) , for the tool industry has cultivated a group meets the development needs of industry talent .Again, another basic requirement transformation of economic development is to adhere to building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society to accelerate the transformation of economic development as an important focal point. The idea is to save resources and thoroughly implement the basic national policy of environmental protection, energy conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity, the development of recycling economy, the promotion of low-carbon technologies, and actively respond to climate change, promote economic and social development and population, resources and the environment, the path of sustainable development road, while energy conservation is still an important part, and will continue as a quantitative binding targets. The tool industry, which is an important strategic direction. The tool is tungsten, cobalt, titanium and other resource consumption of a large industry, how to reduce the consumption of these resources throughout the life cycle of the tool in the tool to reduce carbon emissions throughout the life cycle, and how to build low-cost, high-capacity tool industry, is worth pondering.
In addition, the CPC Central Committee , " second five" plan proposed Part IV specifically also proposed " the development of modern industrial system, improve the core competitiveness of industries " such a strategic task. Its direction is upgrade the manufacturing industry . Luo Baihui that the manufacturing industry is focused on optimizing structure, improving the variety and quality , and enhance industrial supporting capacity, eliminate backward production capacity . The focus of development for the tool is fully applicable . In China , the tool industry with high-speed steel twist this single , century-old industrial products accounted for the vast majority of the entire value of the phenomenon is not a phenomenon to be happy . Product development and diversification tool industry reaches a certain economies of scale, according to their expertise and capabilities in the development and production of various market segments in line with customer needs the product market segments and avoid vicious competition is a very good choice. Now it has been in the development of new technologies, new products , which the tool industry made ​​a lot of new demand. What tool industry development direction of research and development progress of these customers and technology, the development of a suitable tool products and solutions , is an opportunity for the development of the industry, but also a challenge. If we can solve these customer needs, many companies will be able to achieve the transformation of the central government's goal to improve manufacturing , but also to hold in the next period of time certain competitiveness .
Can foresee the future, not only have many domestic brands become internationally renowned brand knives, knives and more domestic enterprises to hope like Geely acquisition of Volvo as a chance to have the strength of foreign acquisitions of well-known brands of tools, and learn to be an advanced foreign enterprises, improving own technology, optimize the management, changes in development thinking, so that Chinese tool industry has entered a world tool industry forefront.
In the metal cutting industry, in addition to the use of advanced technology choice. Growing demand for future processing, only the use of advanced processing technology to meet these needs.
 In order to respond to changing production requirements and increasingly challenging workpiece material, cutting tool technology is rapidly developing. Today's machinery and plant needs to be a different way to look past their cutting tools and tool suppliers.
Sandvik Coromant tool company responsible for the development of the aviation project manager ChrisMills pointed to the aviation industry, for example, in order to meet the industry demand for the next 20 years of manufacturing, manufacturing and processing capacity needs to be increased by 2 times on the existing basis. How can I do this? In the case of processing ability to maintain current levels simply increase the number of machine tools two times it? It is almost impossible. Increase the current level of technology tools meant to increase the number of machine operation the same proportion of workers, it is hard to imagine, because today's mechanical processing is difficult to hire enough qualified workers to operate the machine. Therefore, the processing capacity needs to be increased by 2 times by technological advances to meet, namely the use of cutting the number of existing staff to complete more work. 
So, these technological advances come from it? Machine, of course, including their faster, higher and higher precision. However, the work itself is not quite the same way in the development of progressive, they basically are constantly changing. Today, not only on the workpiece to be machined precision, delivery and quality requirements are high, and more and more difficult to machine materials using many shops had never met to manufacture. These materials include titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and compacted graphite iron (CGI), also includes a variety of engineering composite materials (in more and more applications, composites are replacing metal material). In other words, the speed and intensity of the work of development is now more than a tool for cutting them. In order to bridge the gap that exists between the machine and the workpiece, and to catch up with processing capacity of processing needs in today's metal cutting industry, the most important technological advances will come from cutting tools.
Cutting tools and tool suppliers role is changing faster and faster, than the machining process any other elements. In fact, the change of the cutting tool is so great that any enterprising machinery factory now need to re-evaluate their ideas about cutting tool. Not only do they need to study how to choose a particular tool, and the need to re-examine the basic concept of the workshop tools affect the entire application. In these core concepts, some have become obsolete today, because the rules of the cutting tool has changed.
Recently, there are three companies related with the cutting tool provides some insights about how today's mechanical processing requires a different way of thinking about the application of the tool. These companies include: ① Diamond Innovations Inc. (DiamondInnovations): a world-leading level of cubic boron nitride (CBN) and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tool material suppliers; ② Precision Dormer (PrecisionDormer): provided by two efficient Commonwealth of drilling tools and threading tools company formed; ③ Sandvik Coromant (SandvikCoromant): the world's top supplier of metal cutting tools.
The company's engineering experts have cited a series of influence in today's cutting tool features and applications of the elements, some elements include:
(1) with the workpiece material challenging. Including alternative metal alloy materials and difficult to machine materials. Some of the material workability less steel 1/4, and the price of some materials can be up to hundreds of dollars per pound.
(2) the increasingly complex workpiece geometries. For example, thin-walled workpieces and aerospace components of complex shape.
(3) the large size of the workpiece. In particular, the increasing demand for turbines and a variety of heavy machinery parts. Each of these high costs workpiece machining enormous demands.
