Chapter 349: Technological Power
Ferruccio walked back, and he made an "OK" gesture with Lin Johnson.
"How? Did the University of Modena agree to cooperate? Lin Qiangsheng asked the interested old man.
Ferruccio laughed and said, "You are welcome to the University of Modena, and they want you to talk to them about the details." ”
"Then tomorrow, the sooner the better, although the small laboratories supported by the company are still operating, but the scientific research strength of the university is incomparable to them!" Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said.
Ferruccio said: "No problem, they wish that a rich man would contact them, and now the university life in Italy is not easy!" ”
"Really?" Lin Qiangsheng asked in surprise.
"Of course, the main source of income for universities, whether public or private, is the donations of the elite and the rich, and the government funding for public schools is very small. Now that the European and American economies are in crisis, many donors are not having a good time, and the university's income has naturally decreased greatly, and there are also a lot of hard expenses, which makes the University of Modena even more stretched! Ferruccio explained to Lin Johnson.
Lin Qiangsheng learned about some European and American education systems, it turns out that donations to education in European and American countries are very common, and even many famous private universities rely on donations to survive, such as Harvard and Stanford, they have a large number of famous and rich alumni, and these schools can receive a large number of donations every year.
"This is the leather processing area, and the areas that you see with circles on the leather fabrics are all defective. These imperfections will be marked even if they are even the most subtle, and the next step is to design the most suitable cutting method to avoid these imperfections as much as possible! Ferruccio continued to lead Qiangsheng Lin on a tour of the factory.
Lin Qiangsheng saw three Italian female workers lying on the board in this studio. They were inspecting the leather fabric inch by inch, and two master leather cutters were working on how to cut the leather fabric, and two young men were following them to assist.
"Hello!" Lin Qiangsheng paid tribute to the two leather masters. Both masters were around fifty years old. They were both wearing glasses, and the two looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise and then made an ancient etiquette to him.
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said to Ferruccio: "How many years have these two been working here?" ”
"It's been almost 20 years since they were teenagers when they were involved in leather processing, and then their parents brought it to Lamborghini themselves," says Ferruccio. ”
Lin Qiangsheng exclaimed: "Such a long time! Saying that, he sighed and shook his head, 20 years, if this was placed in the previous life, which worker in the domestic automobile production line could do a job for 20 years!
Anyway, Lin Johnson once came into contact with the car factory. Not to mention 20 years, front-line workers can get rid of one-tenth of them in the first year, and if they recruit college students, they can get rid of almost one-quarter!
Even those who remain are rarely settled down to do front-line work. I was thinking about how many years I would do and climb to a higher position so that I could be a line leader or something, and the salary was high and easy.
The society is developing too fast, and people's hearts are impetuous!
Lin Qiangsheng said meaningfully: "These workers are indeed good! ”
Ferruccio smiled and said, "Of course, every employee at Lamborghini is excellent!" ”
"That's right! Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to build a world-class sports car! Lin Qiangsheng thought for a while and said.
Then he suggested to Ferruccio: "I think the sports car is very interesting, hot. Affection and surging power. I would like to establish a supercar company in China as well. Can you help me find someone to help me? ”
Ferruccio raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Going to China to establish a supercar company, boss, you're not kidding, right?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng said angrily: "How can I be joking, I am very serious!" The sports car factory is established one day earlier and has one more day of experience and accumulation, what happened to the establishment of a supercar company in China? ”
Ferruccio hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sorry boss, I don't mean anything else, I admire your pioneering spirit very much!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Yes, it is to create a world-class supercar company in China!" ”
"Then I'm thinking about who to find!" Ferruccio scratched at his hair, the question was really hard for him. The employees in the company are extremely good, and he doesn't want to give up on any of them. Go to a distant and unfamiliar China to start a sports car company, and they may not be able to come back in a short time!
Lin Qiangsheng said at this time: "There is no need to transfer the company's personnel, you can see if there are any retired old workers who can withstand the long-distance bumps, and there is still some undying excitement in your heart. Affectionate recommendation to me. I hired them to develop a sports car business in China with a high salary! ”
Looking at the young boss's determined gaze, Ferruccio said helplessly: "Okay, I'll invite some retired old guys to have a party at home this weekend, and ask them if they want to go to China for a few years!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "I'll leave it to you, I believe that the Italians with a fighting spirit must be willing to go!" ”
Ferruccio smiled and said, "Of course, the Italians have written a lot of glorious history for the supercar industry!" Trust me, as long as they are involved, you won't be disappointed! ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and continued to visit the factory, he followed Ferruccio into the precision machining workshop, and the two changed their clothes and put on clean white overalls.
This workshop is processed by high-precision parts on the supercar, contrary to the imagination of ordinary people, this workshop is very quiet, even if the precision machine tool in the ultra-high-speed contact with the machined parts is not a spark splashing noise, amazing cutting sound, but a sound similar to running water.
With the technological development of automobile and other industries and the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, the processing accuracy and process requirements for parts are getting higher and higher. In order to meet the increasingly stringent engine emissions in European countries, for example, the fuel injection valve needs to be opened and closed quickly 5~8 times in each stroke, and the reciprocating stroke of the valve is only 20μm, and the requirements for the air tightness and dynamic characteristics of the valve are increasing, so that the requirements for its processing accuracy are also greatly improved.
In order to meet the requirements to build the best supercar, Lamborghini ordered the most advanced machine tools available in the world from GE Electric in the United States, regardless of the price or whether the subsequent parts were expensive!
The world's recognized machining accuracy level is 10~100μm tolerance level for ordinary machine tools, 3~10μm for precision machine tools, 0.1~3μm (100~3000nm) for high-precision machine tools, and 0.005~0.1μm (5~100nm) for ultra-precision machine tools.
The positioning accuracy of these high-precision machine tools bought by Lamborghini is about 1000nm, which is also the best processing equipment available in the world today.
From this transaction, Lin Qiangsheng felt that in terms of scientific and technological level and technology application, the United States is the first in the world. The United States began to study ultra-precision machine tools in the 50s, and China officially began to catch up with the world's advanced footsteps after 2000.
In history, in 1984 the famous American Lawrence . Livermore National Laboratory has developed a large optical diamond lathe (the legendary artifact LODTM) with a positioning accuracy of 2nm, which still represents the highest level of ultra-precision machining equipment, and its record is still unmatched!
The ORGM2500 six-axis CNC ultra-precision grinding machine developed by the Institute of Precision Engineering of Cranfield University in the United Kingdom in 1991 is still known as the two red flags in the field of ultra-precision machining along with LODTM.
If we take the field of diamond lathes as far as we go, Lawrence Laboratories can be regarded as the first; However, in the case of large ultra-precision machine tools, it is recognized as the OAGM2500 of the United Kingdom.
The self-lubricating bearings used in the Lamborghini body have a surface roughness of 1.2 μm for the bore and shaft, and the roundness and cylindricity are within 1 μm of accuracy.
There are also many parts that need to be used for mirror turning of high-precision diamond tools, and the matching accuracy of the valve core and valve sleeve of the precision servo valve in the precision hydraulic control system such as the steering mechanism is often at the sub-micron level, and it is processed by high-precision grinding methods.
In short, Lamborghini supercars are not only about speed and excitement. Love, its body still has the latest and most dazzling technology power! (To be continued......)
