Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

The motor is essentially an electromagnetic device that uses the law of electromagnetic induction to convert or transfer electrical energy.

The power tools that you see every day, including drilling, polishing, polishing, grooving, cutting, reaming and other tools, all need to use motors.

Various home appliances, washing machines, electric fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, tape recorders, video recorders, DVD players, vacuum cleaners, cameras, hair dryers, electric shavers, etc., also need to use motors.

It can be said that although people don't pay much attention to motors, they exist all the time in their lives.

Of course, the use of motors is so extensive, it is impossible for Nanshan to engage in all types of motors.

That's not realistic at all, and it's not necessary.

As the initial focus, it must first get out the motors used on the robot, and at the same time, get out the motors used on the machine tool.

Of course, the generators and starters used in cars are already under development, and they will definitely continue to be developed.

As for other products, they will develop slowly in the future.

If the stalls are too large and scattered, problems are likely to occur.

"Mr. Cao, is it too radical to use flat wires for the winding of this motor?"

"This requires high production equipment for copper wires and high quality requirements for copper wires. If you are not careful, there will be a lot of waste products."

Although Pan Jinxing is not a professional researcher on motors, as a machine tool expert, he naturally has research on motors.

During this period of time, Cao Yang spent all day in the laboratory, so he naturally had to study with him most of the time.

"Although the production of flat wires is more difficult, the advantages are too obvious."

"Under the same power, because the flat wire takes up less space, the outer diameter and volume of the motor can be reduced, resulting in a smaller flat wire motor with less material and lower cost."

"Under the same volume, because the flat wire takes up less space, more wires can be filled in the slot when the entire space of the motor remains the same, that is, the slot full rate of the motor will increase, and the power density of the motor will also increase. Generally The slot fill rate of round wire motors is about 40%, while the slot fill rate of flat wire motors can reach 60%.”

"Compared with round wire motors, flat wire motors can have a relatively smaller notch size, which can effectively reduce the cogging torque and reduce motor noise."

"Compared to round wire motors, flat wire motors have better armature stiffness."

"The internal gap of the flat wire motor winding is small, and the contact area between the wire and the wire, between the winding and the core slot is larger, so the heat dissipation and thermal conductivity are better, the temperature rise is lower, and the overall performance of the motor is better."

"For round wire motors, due to technical problems, the end is generally left a little longer to prevent damage to the copper wire during the process, while for flat wire motors, because the wires are all hard wires, the end can be left a little shorter to save Copper, reduce costs and improve efficiency."

Cao Yang is very clear that most of the motors used in electric vehicles in later generations are flat wires.

This is the direction of the future.

Since Nanshan wants to engage in motors, it must develop in the right direction.

Now lay out in advance, and a bunch of patents will be able to block many competitors out.

As a result, Nanshan's motors have become the industry leader.

As for the difficulties encountered now, they can be resolved completely.

Even if the defect rate is higher, it is acceptable.

"Mr. Cao, what you said is not wrong."

"However, with flat wires, it is difficult to serialize the design. For example, when the number of iron cores and slots is the same, but the length and number of coil turns are different, a series of motors can be easily designed for round wire motors, while flat wire motors because of The number of turns itself is small, and reducing or adding a few will have a relatively large impact on the performance of the motor, so it is difficult to design a series."

Pan Jinxing obviously felt that Cao Yang's steps were too big.

Flat line.

Which manufacturer's mass-produced motors use such windings?

Nanshan is so unconventional, is it really useful?

"Design is difficult, not impossible."

"Look at the current schemes, they all use flat wires. I have already designed the preliminary scheme with several technicians."

"The next step is to directly consider importing a batch of flat wire trial production lines."

"In the future, after the technology matures, a special factory will be built for production."

Cao Yang pointed to the drawings in his computer and motioned Pan Jinxing to take a look.

At the beginning, Pan Jinxing just glanced casually.

But soon, his eyes stopped moving.

It took less than half a month, and the design of the motor was completed?

It seems to be decent, there is no obvious problem.

this……

How can this be?

"Mr. Cao, the structure of this motor seems to be completely different from the dismantled FANUC motor."

"But there doesn't seem to be any problem, the structure is more compact and the weight is lighter."

Although Pan Jinxing is not a professional motor designer, he can still see the situation of the drawings in front of him at a glance.

"Why should it be the same as FANUC's?"

"The motor on this FANUC robot was at least five years ago, and it was not the most advanced product at that time."

"If we design the structure to be the same as the other party, let's not talk about whether there is a problem with the patent."

"Technology alone will lag a lot behind, which is certainly not what we want to see."

"From a round line to a flat line, to some extent, we are overtaking on a curve."

"Although some manufacturers in the industry are doing research in this area, the overall progress is not particularly great."

"As long as we do it well, it can be used in many motor products in the future."

"Even with the increase in output, those problems in the flat wire processing process can be gradually solved, leaving only the advantages of flat wire."

When Cao Yang said that, Pan Jinxing naturally had no way to refute.

"Then I will arrange people to build a trial production line as soon as possible. There are no manufacturers that can produce flat lines, so we can only do it ourselves."

"A motor is nothing more than a few key parts such as a stator and a rotor."

"Because the flat wire is made of copper, the cost ratio is relatively high."

"Even if we don't engage in internal control now, we will sooner or later, otherwise the key point of cost will be in the hands of others."

"Anyway, it's just a trial production line now. It doesn't matter if the output is lower or the degree of automation is lower."

"The key is to compress the time as much as possible. We can't keep Huaqiang factory waiting for us."

"We can't let FANUC and the robot manufacturers just lie there and make money."

In 2002, a welding robot cost RMB 500,000 or 600,000 or even millions of RMB.

But by 2023, the price will directly become hundreds of thousands, or even less than 100,000.

Instead, the performance of the product has been improved.

It is conceivable that the current welding robots, even if they cannot be said to be huge profits, are definitely high-profit products.

Various manufacturers have also maintained a certain tacit understanding, and will not easily engage in price wars.

Of course, once Chinese manufacturers enter this field, the price will start to drop.

Sometimes, Cao Yang didn't know how to evaluate this matter.

Chinese manufacturers have entered, and prices have dropped, which is a good thing for users.

However, if the price is reduced to a certain extent and disorderly competition is engaged in, it will actually do great harm to the industry.

Just like motorcycles have been exported to Southeast Asia in recent years.

At the beginning, Huaxia's low-cost motorcycles were exported to Southeast Asia, and the market share increased rapidly in just a few years, and Dongying Motors was defeated.

But soon, a bunch of motorcycle manufacturers in China exported their motorcycles to Southeast Asia.

After a few years, motorcycles will directly become the price of cabbage.

In order to compete with the price, the quality is getting worse and worse, and the word-of-mouth gradually disappears.

So by 2023, the motorcycle market in Southeast Asia will almost completely return to the hands of Dongying car companies.

Those domestic manufacturers were as crazy as they were back then, and then they were as disappointed as they were later.

But when you first started, you had to compete with the international giants for the market, and you couldn’t do without competing for the price.

You say that you are a technical genius, you have to sell it at the same price as others, and only if someone is willing to buy it.

Just like the shoe factories in China, is the technical level really not as good as that of Adi and Nike?

You must know that Adidas and Nike also find these manufacturers as OEMs.

But if you sell it yourself, unless you sell it at a low price, you won't be able to sell it.

The robot is similar, and there is also a brand effect in it.

Therefore, it is inevitable to fight a price war at the beginning.

It's just a question of whether to hit so hard.

The price has been reduced to a certain level, and if you lower it, you may not get more orders.

The degree here needs to be grasped.

"No problem, the trial production line of the copper wire will be done soon."

Pan Jinxing didn't question any more.

The attitude of the boss is so obvious.

What are you still struggling with?

...

"Chen Sang, are you sure that the Huaqiang Stamping Factory in Yangcheng did not obtain robots from any manufacturer?"

Yoshida Yongzheng, as the head of the sales department of FANUC Huaxia, is more ruthless towards Nanshan than anyone else.

Because of the emergence of the Nanshan CNC system, FANUC's business in China plummeted.

Nowadays, except for a small number of manufacturers who have received advance payment before, they are still looking for FANUC to purchase CNC systems, and 80% of customers have turned to Nanshan.

Originally, the products made by FANUC were not as high-end as Siemens. Now Nanshan has come up with a numerical control system with better technology and cheaper price. How can FANUC mess up?

What is even more frustrating is that Nanshan's CNC system actually won the first prize of the Huaxia National Science and Technology Progress Award.

For FANUC, this was like a thunderbolt from the day before yesterday.

If it weren't for the support of the robot business, FANUC's business team in China might consider disbanding.

"Minister, I have maintained communication with the personnel of OTC, Kawasaki, Yaskawa, Fujikoshi and other manufacturers. This time, everyone's position is very consistent."

"In the future, no matter what conditions Nanshan or Nanshan's affiliated manufacturers make, our robots will not be sold."

"Even other products, if Nanshan wants to buy them, they will try not to sell them as much as possible."

"Unless Nanshan can obtain better alternatives from other manufacturers, our position will not change."

When Chen Liang said this, he was full of confidence.

As one of Nanshan's victims, he is very active in dealing with Nanshan.

He knew very well that if he didn't suppress Nanshan, he would probably lose this job with less money and more money in the future.

"This time, the head of Toyota's Purchasing Division personally contacted the presidents of each company and asked everyone to act in unison."

"Until now, Nanshan has brought huge losses to Aisin Seiki, and Aida has also lost most of the Huaxia market."

"Even the other party has started to snatch orders from Aisin gearboxes and Aida presses in the international market."

"We at FANUC are not the only victims, and certainly won't be the last."

"This truth, you have to make the sales leaders of manufacturers like Kawasaki and Yaskawa understand."

"Otherwise, when everyone is not of one mind, it will be ugly if they are broken by others."

Yoshida felt that this time he could see the dawn of victory, and there must be no surprises.

The robot is not only needed by Huaqiang Stamping Factory, but also needed by Nanshan if it wants to automate the transformation of various parts in the future.

So the sooner you start restricting the sales of robots to Nanshan, the better the effect.

"Minister, don't worry, everyone understands this truth."

"Nanshan is the spoiler in the industry, a piece of rat shit, always doing things that disgust everyone."

"At that time, it will cause anger and resentment, let's see how they develop."

"It's also fortunate that they provoked Aisin, which led to Toyota Motor Station coming out to coordinate everyone to deal with them."

"Otherwise, relying on our FANUC alone, some robot manufacturers may be reluctant to give up orders from Nanshan."

When Chen Liang said this, Yoshida couldn't help but nodded.

Toyota Motor's influence in Japan's industrial industry is huge.

Although it can't be said that he is the leading brother, but in the field of automobiles, his influence is absolutely unmatched.

"After China's accession to the WTO, all walks of life have developed rapidly, and the demand for robots has also increased."

"If the company develops well, we plan to set up two separate sales departments under the sales department in the future. I have reserved the position of the head of the first sales department for you."

When Yoshida said this, the smile on Chen Liang's face immediately became brighter.

I work so hard, isn't it just for promotion and salary increase.

"Minister, I have been thinking about how to break the CNC system during this time."

"Actually, I don't think there is any way out."

"Nanshan has a cost advantage and is a local supplier, which is supported by policies."

"But we can definitely find a few local state-owned enterprises to cooperate with and produce CNC systems with them."

"At that time, we can use these state-owned enterprises to get the bill."

"As for the cost, for us, most of the research and development costs of the CNC system have been amortized."

"We can take out some old systems and make some money."

"Even if they can't make a lot of money, it's definitely okay to disgust Nanshan and make their business difficult."

Chen Liang felt that he needed to show his loyalty to the company again in order to secure the position of section chief.

Soon, Yoshida discussed the plan with him enthusiastically.

They have all stayed in China for many years, and know that some enterprises are actually quite active in the self-development of CNC systems.

If you can help them complete their tasks and come up with a win-win solution, the possibility is still very high.

It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly ticket
