176 Lathes are the mother of industry

Lathes are the true mother of industry. All the milling machines, drilling machines, these rotary equipment, are improved according to the lathe.

Lathe processing, mainly the parts do rotary motion, cutting tools do linear motion; In the case of milling machines, the cutters do the rotary motion and the parts do the linear motion. Lathes and milling machines are the most widely used machining equipment in the world.

Although it will gradually be replaced by CNC lathes and machining centers and other professional CNC machine tools in later generations, CNC lathes, no matter how they are improved, are still lathes, and the principle of ordinary lathe processing has not changed, but the original manual operation of workers to change the tool, advance and retreat of the knife replaced by computer chip control.

The machining center is the same, and the manual operation of ordinary milling machines is replaced by computer chip control.

Lathe is the earliest machining and cutting equipment used in the world.

The first lathes, which appeared before the Industrial Revolution in England. At that time, it was only used to process some rotary parts made of wood, and it is said that the earliest simple lathes in England were mainly used to process the axles of horse-drawn carriages. However, at that time, due to the problem of machining accuracy, the structure of the lathe was very simple, and it could even be said to be simple. Of course, machining errors are also calculated in millimeters.

With the promotion of the industrial revolution, all kinds of mechanical equipment have higher and higher requirements for precision, and lathes, which were the main mechanical processing equipment at that time, have been continuously improved. With the continuous development of machinery and equipment, as well as the continuous emergence of new equipment, as well as raw materials, the requirements for cutting machine tools are higher, and lathes have gradually become mature.

The first lathes used in the Industrial Revolution were powered by steam engines.

A lathe machine shop, the lathes are neatly arranged, and on top of the head of the lathe bed, there is a huge shaft on which the pulleys are hung, that is. Several lathes use the same drive shaft. As long as a lathe is running, the lathe using the same transmission shaft either does not have a belt, as long as the belt is hung, it has to be started. In addition, it is impossible to manually change the speed during the machining process when the machine is started.

Depending on the diameter of the parts, the speed of the lathe must be adjusted before the machine tool starts. If you want to adjust, you have to stop all the lathes that are driven by that drive shaft.

to the back. With the advent of electric motors, lathes have truly matured. Each lathe has its own drive system.

"Brother Yunfei, I heard that there are many factories in China that are producing lathes, and the efficiency of many factories is not very good." Although Ni Lishuang, who has been staying in the hospital and has been determined to become Yun Fei's virtuous helper since she was a child, she has always cared about Yun Fei's affairs.

Since Zhilu Daoyunfei took over the 9327 factory, although she doesn't know where Ludao Yunfei got so much money from. But she's smart enough to just ask about it. Yun Fei wants to produce machine tools, and many people are not optimistic, but she still silently supports Yun Fei. During her days in the hospital, she constantly asked the Mao sisters to help her buy magazine papers on company management or find some mechanical aspects.

Since she was a child, although she has not received professional training from old men like Yun Fei and the others, she has also audited a lot. She didn't want to grow up and be ignorant of what her brother Yun Fei had done.

Although I know a lot about the basics of mechanics. But I don't know anything about management. When she was in technical school, she was an accountant, and Yun Fei had already revealed to her that she wanted to make her the financial director of the entire company. Although she herself would like to be the financial director of a factory with thousands of people, she also understands it. With the basic accounting knowledge she learned in technical school, it is difficult to make even the most basic financial statements, and it is impossible to manage the finances of a company.

If those old accountants under her command collude to do tricks on the books, she can't afford this responsibility because she has no experience.

"You don't understand that. Although there are many factories producing lathes, they have more production experience than us. However, lathes are also the most used machine tools in the world, far more than milling machines and planers. We have just entered the civil machine tool market, can only produce the largest amount of lathes, so that not only can open the market, the same machine tool sales funds can allow our factory to have more funds to invest in the development of new equipment. "As for the lathes that produced the most domestic manufacturers as soon as they came up, Yun Fei had not explained to anyone before.

The reason why Yunfei wants to produce lathes at the beginning is not only because Yunfei has a lot of contacts in machining in the Pearl River Delta, and lathes can bring more funds to their company, but more importantly, if you want to engage in CNC machine tools, CNC lathes are entry-level CNC machine tools.

As long as the ball screw is made and the stepper motor is used, it can produce a simple CNC lathe that still occupies the vast majority of the market share in the domestic market when Yunfei leaves his world.

The production of simple CNC lathes, not only can accumulate a large number of production experience, with experience, you can develop in the direction of precision CNC lathes, similarly, with a large number of profits brought by CNC lathes, CNC milling machines will have more research funds.

It's not that Yunfei doesn't want to produce CNC milling machines or more advanced CNC machining centers as soon as they come up.

However, there are so many engineers and technicians from the Soviet network, although many of them also have research experience in CNC machine tools, but Yun Fei really scoffs at the Soviet Union's skills in CNC technology.

They are going in the wrong direction, even further than China.

Although China also followed the big brother of the Soviet Union in the research of CNC machine tools in the wrong direction, but due to the poor foundation and thin foundation, China has not gone far in the production of special machine assembly lines. Now if you want to develop CNC technology, as long as you understand the development direction of CNC technology in Europe and the United States, although China has no foundation and the foundation is very thin, it is very difficult to study, but it will not be replaced by inertial thinking like the Soviet Union.

Yun Fei also knew that it was impossible to expect these electrical engineers from the Soviet Union to study CNC machine tools. The company will produce the first batch of CNC machine tools, and he will use the dragon CNC system produced by Huadu CNC. That system, which was originally copied by himself, is completely sufficient for CNC machine tools that are not very sophisticated.

Yun Fei didn't want to be hostile to those foreign CNC machine tool manufacturers when he was just starting out and was fledgling.

He knew that if he did it with foreign CNC machine tool manufacturers, Taiwan's machine tool manufacturers would definitely act as cannon fodder for foreigners. At that time, if you are bruised because of the fight with Taiwan's machine tool manufacturers, any company that exports CNC machine tools to China will be able to destroy its own Jiuyi Heavy Industry.

Now the domestic production of CNC machine tools has begun to become hot because of the emergence of Dragon CNC. Yunfei this newly established factory, as long as it does not produce machine tools far beyond other domestic machine tool manufacturers in the same industry, they can develop their heads, wait to gather strength, and suddenly break out, which will definitely make those foreign CNC machine tool manufacturers occupy half of the country when they do not react.

On the Internet above his own world, Yun Fei has also read a lot of analysis papers by the so-called brick family called beasts, but he scoffs at them.

Many people believe that as long as China's machine tool manufacturers unite, they can fight with foreign machine tool manufacturers.

There is nothing feasible about this at all. In China, a country where everything is in charge of the state, if this can really make China's CNC technology develop rapidly, will the state not support this?

If the whole country boycotts foreign CNC machine tools, it will be retaliated against by all foreign CNC machine tool manufacturers.

Everyone knows that China cannot produce the most high-end, super-precision CNC machine tools, but if the domestic industries want to develop, especially the manufacture of high-precision and cutting-edge production equipment, without those high-end CNC machine tools, China will not be able to process them at all.

China needs high-end CNC machine tools from abroad. Although the CNC machine tools sold to China can never be the most high-end, but people are not the most high-end CNC machine tools, and China cannot produce them.

Therefore, even in the era of Yunfei, due to the rise of some CNC machine tool manufacturers such as Huashu and the capital, it occupied half of the domestic CNC machine tool market, and even occupied the vast majority of the domestic market share in the low-end CNC machine tool market.

Even in that case, no one dares to propose to squeeze foreigners out of China from low-grade CNC machine tools.

Under the trend of such an environment, Yunfei can only be low-key. can't be like those traversers in the online article, just arrived in an era, the halo of the protagonist on his body shines, and the entire world has to surrender, and catching up with the Premier League and the United States can be done in minutes. Yun Fei, a real traverser, came to this era to understand that people in any era are not so simple.

Unless, as the protagonist, he has the best artifact on his body, and all the technology doesn't need too many people, and he can appear out of thin air.

Even if there is a technical skill, there is no production experience, and the technical level of the workers is not enough, so it cannot be produced at all.

Take the current Yunfei as an example, there are a lot of CNC machine tool design concepts in his hands, he has also seen the real thing and understood the detailed functions in his own time, but after learning about this era, he understands that it is not possible to turn the drawings into reality without having design drawings.

This is also why China has been imitating foreign high-precision and cutting-edge machine tools, but it has never been able to achieve the precision of foreign imported machine tools.

Not only because of the material, but also because of the assembly technology.

Therefore, Yun Fei still has to honestly start from the most basic lathe. The lathe is the foundation of all machine tools, only the lathe is thoroughly understood, for other equipment, in order to gradually realize the accumulation of technology. (To be continued......)
