Chapter 431 Machining Centers and Precision Equipment

Wang Xu took Wang Fei's little hand and leisurely inspected his factory. Well, he really just showed Wang Fei.

Wang Xu doesn't like to engage in production, mainly because he doesn't have the ability. Of course, the imperial capital also doesn't welcome production-oriented companies that much.

As the head of Dynasty Laboratory, Senior Brother Yuzhuo naturally follows what Wang Xu wants. This is the basic quality of a professional manager.

Therefore, Brother Yuzhuo turned the factory in the Imperial Capital into an all-round factory, one that has all kinds of basic equipment and personnel, but everything is not in sufficient quantity.

It is equivalent to being specially used for Wang Xu to make small batches of parts or debug new products, while the things that really need mass production are transferred out through various cooperation or OEM methods.

Of course, Wang Xu's laziness also gave Senior Brother Yuzhuo a lot of room for maneuver. After all, although the company is not big, the profits are not low.

Such companies were not very popular in the 1980s, mainly because professional foundry companies were not yet mainstream around the world, whether it was chips or electronic boards.

The rise of professional OEM was in this era. Whether it was China, Bayan, or later Southeast Asia, it was during this period that large-scale OEM companies began to form.

Most of the companies at the moment are actually based on superficial craftsmanship of processing supplied materials. They can only earn some basic processing money, which can make some people rich first, but it is difficult to rely on this to become strong.

The kind of OEM in later generations is different. That kind of OEM is not just an OEM. It is not only a comprehensive improvement of management capabilities, but also includes complex design and implementation. This cannot be explained by a simple manpower intensity. .

In the later period, there was even an all-inclusive OEM model as long as you came up with ideas, otherwise it would not be possible for one person to make a mobile phone.

Going forward, cars seem to be able to do this too.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is a phenomenon that will only occur when the overall industrial system is strong and computer technology develops. Now, well, I can only say that we are on the right path.

In this life, the development of OEM companies has also made considerable progress. Although super OEM companies such as Foxconn and BYD have not yet emerged, compared with the same period in Wang Xu's previous life, there is a generation difference.

This is of course the benefit brought by the WTO. At this time, China's wages are lower and its degree of openness is higher. New materials and new products are selling well overseas, giving China more room to make profits in areas such as tariffs. .

A large number of overseas companies have begun to further increase investment in China, spurring the development of more foundry companies. The various new ideas brought by Wang Xu are gradually spreading rapidly from related companies to supporting companies.

The technologies that come from the Mizuki patent pool are often accompanied by strict industrial standards and requirements. To meet these requirements, corporate management must be improved.

Together, in order to get orders, upstream and downstream supporting companies have to follow the rising tide to provide supporting products.

This is the chain effect brought by new technology enterprises. If you don’t follow the trend, you won’t be able to get big orders, and you will be left behind. Then you will fall behind step by step, and will soon be eliminated by the times and the market.

What Wang Xu's factory is working on is a new generation of technology, OLED display screen technology.

Different from the method that uses LED backlight, what Wang Xu is doing here is an all-OLED diode mode. Well, it is not a backlight, but a direct pixel-level light-emitting mode.

Of course, this technology is not new. It has been invented for more than ten years, and the basic patents have expired. In fact, LCD and LED are similar, and the core patents have long expired. Everyone is rushing to take the lead in processing.

If you want to talk about the traditional LCD production model, Wang Xu really doesn’t have any good ideas. From the processing equipment to the raw materials, they all belong to others. If Wang Xu wants to do it here, he must either import it or develop it from scratch. There are many areas.

Since it's all about research, why not research something with better future development? What's more, Wang Xu is still worried.

Just like the one provided by the system, yes, it is the new OLED processing equipment brought by the camera project, another large-scale application of the growth method.

Therefore, Wang Xu simply started a new business, skipped LCD and plasma, and started researching OLED.

As for the plasma TV I made when I was young, well, that thing is okay for a TV, but it is not ideal for a small screen, and it consumes too much electricity.

This technology has not developed much, and has even been almost completely eliminated later. This is not just the monopoly patent of Xiaozhi, but also the reason why other countries are unwilling to play with him.

What's more, the rise of small screens such as computers, monitors, mobile phones, and MP3 players has brought about a trillion-level incremental display unit market. The battlefield has suddenly expanded from the traditional TV field to a full range of display fields. .

Plasma technology consumes electricity, is too thick, and is difficult to miniaturize, which has almost become a fatal shortcoming.

The same production line can produce both large and small products, or whether to establish separate production lines for each product has become an insurmountable problem, and then there is no way around it.

If we follow the history of Wang Xu's previous life, plasma technology has been developing rapidly in recent years, and the TV products produced are really amazing. They are less than ten centimeters thick, with bright colors and clear pictures. They are the best choice for watching DVDs.

But it’s expensive. Last year, Panasonic launched a 26-inch-plus plasma monitor. Can you believe that the price is almost as high as that of a Xiali.

But at this time, color LCD technology, especially TFT technology, has just begun. The mainstream products on the market are even monochromatic. The ability to use LED lights for background lighting is high-tech.

Everyone is still struggling with low brightness, low resolution, and low color gamut. So, if you want a high-definition, high-brightness, full-color large screen, you really need plasma.

In my childhood, I stumbled on plasma. There have been too many novels to popularize it, but LCD has proven successful in history. Wang Xu still did not choose, but directly chose a brand new track.

In addition to this being a systematic choice, well, well, Wang Xu admitted that the availability of ready-made drawings was of course the main reason. But the drawings are just drawings, and there is no explanation of how the principles and parameters of the technical equipment work.

After all, this thing is just a less important monitoring unit in the camera, and it is far less important than the treble coating in the microphone and speakers.

Therefore, it is a blessing that the system can provide Wang Xu with drawings of equipment and materials.

What's more, this thing is not a piece of equipment, but a set of hundreds of meters of assembly lines. This thing is a product processed in batches. Even if Wang Xu wants to reproduce it in the laboratory, it is really difficult. Need to study it carefully.

However, the good thing is that this thing is another derivative development of the growth method, and it is highly consistent with the current development direction of China's semiconductor industry. In China, especially in the current Shuimu, if you want to promote this technology Come on, it's not easy at all.

Therefore, when Wang Xu reported that he wanted to study this thing last year, TV manufacturers such as TCL, Haier, Konka, Peony, and Changhong almost immediately invested huge sums of money. 798 in Imperial Capital also invested a lot. It didn't work, so I just took a sack with cash and threw it into Wang Xu's house.

Well, it’s not uncommon for people to do this in this era. Not to mention many half-black industries, even the training courses around Shuimu are organized in this way. Lao Yu almost died because of this. You know this era. The atmosphere is so exaggerated.

However, Wang Xu's financial management here is still quite strict, and scientific research funds are all accounted for through public accounts. Although Dynasty Laboratory is operated as a company, it has always paid taxes honestly.

Although none of the required policies have been implemented, in addition to export tax rebates, there are also exemptions and reductions for joint ventures, deductions for technological innovation, etc., anyway, senior brother Yuzhuo has figured out the twists and turns here very clearly.

The same is true for Wang Jinghua and Tang Yun, but when running a business in the imperial capital, these things are not as flexible as outside. Therefore, whether it is Wang Chao from Dongcheng or Chaoyang Dynasty, they can be regarded as advanced tax payers in the district. .

In general, there are really no projects that Wang Xu is working on that are short of money. Dynasty currently employs dozens of college students on a long-term basis, mainly to make various small inventions that Wang Xu came up with. These are all Yuzhuo Senior brother came here by looking around.

Or why do you say that professional managers are professionals? Wang Xu never knew where he found so many college students. You know, in this era, it is nothing if a large factory can assign two college students a year. , a foreign company like Wang Xu actually made dozens of moves.

As a result, Brother Yuzhuo said directly, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no reason why you can't find it. College students who leave the system just want to make some money. Our company may not have many people, but it can't stand the profit.

Although it sounds like Hong Kong capital is not as dignified as the small days and ugly countries, we give money in real money, and the treatment is not lower than those of big companies.

Now that our recruitment notice is sent to the talent market, it is easy to receive hundreds of resumes.

Wang Xu was a little dazed. The talent market had already been established. It had only been two or three years. Wang Xu still remembered that when he first started his business, there was no such organization at all.

This was the case in the 1990s. Let alone not paying attention for a year or two, even within a few months, the changes could be shocking.

Of course, changes at this time are mainly concentrated in various policy, cultural and spiritual fields. Real physical changes will have to wait a little longer, after all, there is still a lack of money in this era.

However, this is not absolute. Lack of money is a general environment, but the economy in various places is extremely active. Privately, wealthy people have begun to spend money like water.

Just like Wangchao in Yangcheng and Magic City, the price is tens of thousands, but the daily sales can be described as a daily income. Even the western capitals, Rongcheng and Chang'an, have consumption capabilities that are not weaker than those along the western coast.

Can you believe that entry-level categories such as shorts and T-shirts that cost a thousand yuan a piece can be sold out for you?

Of course, the sales volume of various high-end products priced at tens of thousands is still not that high, but the number is enough to make Wang Xu feel dizzy when he sees it.

In fact, Wang Xu did not spend much effort on the OLED project that started two years ago. With the joint efforts of Dynasty Laboratory and Shuimu Electronics Department and Automation Department, the finished product of the laboratory, a six-inch screen, was produced in less than half a year. Thin, soft, and perfect in color, it made a sensation around the world when it was unveiled at the CES show in the following year.

In turn, manufacturers in other countries had to follow suit with large-scale investment. However, the craftsmanship and process level of this era are far less solid than those of later generations. In the absence of the key core technology of the growth method, this thing is really unparalleled in the world. .

For more than a year after that, I was actually busy with industrial production. Because it involved the secret of the growth method, it had to be a highly automated production line before it could be sold, and the process was as perfect as possible. Go inside the hardware to reduce the possibility of leaks.

Due to Wang Xu's reminder, the country has obviously increased its emphasis on patents, but this ideological change is really not that easy to achieve.

Many patent thefts and squatting incidents that occurred in history still occur, and Wang Xu has no good solution for this. This is the pain of the times, and you have to bear the pain.

Wang Xu's current factory in 798 is producing some core automation equipment for this production line. Yanshan Petrochemical in the Imperial Capital provides a series of high-purity chemical raw materials.

These are all gadgets derived from the same project. In the industrial field, if you add a prefix such as high purity and precision, nothing is cheap.

Of course, the same is true for the precision equipment provided by Wang Xu here. This is also one of the transformation plans Wang Xu provided for Senior Brother Yuzhuo.

Well, Wang Xu actually provided several plans to Senior Brother Yuzhuo. Then, Senior Brother Yuzhuo upheld the fine qualities of an adult and very boldly came up with one that I wanted them all.

Although things like speakers and recording studios are high-end, the quantities are really too small, and the sub-brands that focus on quantity are all built in the south or simply outsourced.

This makes Brother Yuzhuo feel that he really has nothing to do. After flying to various exhibitions for more than a year, now the reputation of Dynasty series speakers and recording equipment has been established, and all he needs to do in the future is to follow the steps.

Senior Brother Yuzhuo's heart problems were greatly improved under the nourishment of Aunt Jiang's delicious soup. Senior Brother Yuzhuo felt that he was okay again, and this was how the great transformation of the imperial capital part of the dynasty came about.

There are three plans, precision manufacturing, precision testing, and intelligent machining center. Wang Xu originally asked Brother Yuzhuo to pick one and then gradually develop it into the others.

As a result, Senior Brother Yuzhuo said, "These are precision equipment. Wouldn't it be better to work together? Can they be modularized and used universally?"

As a result, it really attracted Wang Xu's attention. All of Wang Xu's knowledge came from the repair skills. After being instilled, he really didn't organize it much. In addition, he had nothing to repair, so he was thrown away from time to time. The back of my head.

But what Senior Brother Yuzhuo said suddenly struck Wang Xu. Yes, the things in his mind were actually modular, but he only took out one at a time, which made it very fragmented.

You said how can a machining center be separated from precision manufacturing and precision testing? These three things are originally integrated. It is just a matter of which one is developed first. If the contents are divided into modules, they are really similar.

All kinds of equipment in the future will focus on modularity and standardization, but this was really not the case in the 1990s. You see why one generation of products in this era often has to be sold for many years without changing the design. It is because many things are designed individually. Yes, the cost of starting a new one is too high.

After coming back for a long time, many ideas have been assimilated into this era, but in fact, in the future, with the assistance of computers, many mechanical equipment will be modularized and standardized, which will lay a solid foundation for the rapid shaping of new products.

For example, if you look at the current automobile industry, selling a model for ten years is not considered a time-honored brand. Only selling it for decades is called accumulation and inheritance.

By the 1920s, domestic brands alone could launch hundreds of new models a year, of which computer-aided design and modular design and manufacturing were indispensable.

In this life, Wang Xu had developed the ability of computer-aided design in advance, and auxiliary manufacturing was also in full swing. So modular design is still a problem, of course not.

Therefore, Wang Xu agreed with Brother Yuzhuo's idea of ​​having everything, and applied for a subsidiary company of Dynasty Precision Machinery, specializing in the R\u0026D and manufacturing of precision equipment. The address was in a newly acquired factory in 798.

Although it was established not long ago, with Wang Xu's technical foundation and Brother Yuzhuo's efficient recruiting operations, the factory is now thriving.

The first-generation five-axis wire meter-level machining center has actually been developed a long time ago, but there are still some problems in mass production, and the localization rate is not high, and it is still being improved.

In fact, this thing is already on the market. The main reason is that Wang Xu feels sorry for the Dynasty brand that has not reached the top level in the world.

I still heard good news today. Several problems that have been bothering engineers have been overcome recently. In two to three months at most, a new generation of products will be almost ready.

That thing is something that can really be put on the market and compete with international products.

However, whether it can be announced or not needs to be discussed with the people above. It is estimated that the probability of internal sales is relatively high, so who is telling us to keep a low profile and bide our time.

But there is one thing to say. The error compensation algorithm and automatic detection and positioning capabilities developed by Wang Xu are destined to be irreplaceable. If it were not the first time to do it, the engineers had little experience and the workers' abilities were also lacking. It took a year of hard work before it was finally usable.

If Wang Xu had done it himself, it would not be difficult to directly create a micron-level or even higher-level five-axis machine.

In any case, millimeter-level equipment can definitely be sold. The machining centers of these days are more expensive than they were a few decades ago. Once they start selling, they will be making money every day.

But don’t think that the micron-level accuracy is low. The micron-level defined by Wang Xu here refers to a machining center that can achieve micron-level accuracy. Although it is still ten times worse than the micron level, in China at this time, that It is also the existence of carrying the tripod.

In fact, among machining centers, millimeter-level products account for the majority of sales, because there are very few parts that really require micron-level processing. Especially in the 1990s, the cost of micron-level processing was simply not something that ordinary enterprises could afford. .

Therefore, even in ugly countries, micron-level equipment is still a rare commodity. Of course, they are not sold to us yet.

Even for silk-meter-level machining centers with an accuracy of 0.01 mm, there are currently sales barriers to China such as application industries, so you can't just buy it if you want.

Therefore, even if Wang Xu sells rice-grade silk, it is not considered embarrassing. Well, okay, Wang Xu's stuff here is so arrogant, even the top stuff in the country, he still feels embarrassed.

——

Instead of saying sorry, I was not sincere. I just wanted to say that I was safe, that I was still there, and that I had not lost contact.

It’s my birthday today, I’m fifty, and I’m going to post a chapter to make my book friends happy.
