Industrial equipment resin abrasives

Resin abrasive export status

According to authoritative reports, although China's machine tool exports have increased significantly in 2010, the structure of export products is not entirely reasonable. Low-grade resources and high energy consumption products account for a large proportion, and the structure of export products needs further optimization. The cutting tools and tools are the two largest types of products for the machine tool industry and account for 44.6% of the total export value of machine tool products. Among these two types of products, low-grade resin grinding tools and knives and other resources, high energy consumption products account for a large proportion.

Raw material price increase, resin grinding tool price or adjustment

The price of chemical raw materials rose, and the cost of resin abrasives increased or rose. During the Spring Festival, chemical raw materials have risen to varying degrees. From January 31st onwards, chemical raw materials have risen by nearly one thousand yuan per ton. The pressure on resin grinding tools manufacturers has increased. According to the experts of China phenolic resin network, there have been constant calls from resin manufacturers to learn more details. Faced with such a large increase, Manager Zhang of Shengquan Chemical Co., Ltd. said that the current domestic chemical raw materials increased significantly from February 10 to On February 15, the price of phenol rose by 500 yuan/ton, the price of bisphenol A rose by nearly 300 yuan/ton, and other raw materials such as formaldehyde rose slightly. Faced with the rise in price, Manager Zhang said that phenol accounts for more than half of the production cost of resin products, and the rise in phenol prices will certainly drive up the price of resin. Zhang confided that the profitability of current resin products has dropped to a very low level and that it is difficult for businesses to do so, and does not rule out the possibility of continuing to increase product prices. For the rise in resin prices, Zhang said that the current supply of domestic phenol products does not require, many still need to import. There are not many large manufacturers of phenol in the country, and monopoly products are produced among large enterprises. At the same time, the increase in raw materials and labor costs, and the increase in resin production costs, can only increase the price of products.

Difficulties and Solutions for New Product Development

The R&D and R&D strategy of new resin abrasive products is the lifeblood of resin grinding tool companies in the fierce technological competition. It is the upgrade of resin abrasive products that realize “production generation, trial generation, research generation and concept generation”. The important stage of the new generation's aim is to play a decisive role in the direction of product development, product advantages, opening up new markets, and improving economic efficiency. It is of great significance to discuss the research and development strategy of resin grinding tools. The research and development of new products is a daunting task for us in the resin grinding industry. The basic requirements of our resin grinding tools enterprises are to continuously improve the quality of products.

The status of new product development

Most domestic resin abrasives production companies adopt low-cost strategies (regardless of product quality, only downsizing costs, and lower sales prices). The real cost-reducing new products are the new products that provide the same performance at a lower cost. , mainly refers to the use of new technology companies to improve production processes or improve production efficiency, reduce the cost of the original product, but to maintain the original function of the new product, so many of the most domestic resin abrasive companies, the development of new products Investment is limited, and more work is required to stabilize product quality. This creates a vicious circle. Because of product instability, the market is more difficult to do, and there is no capital to research and develop new products. This low-error cost strategy is a double Jian Jian, on the one hand, has a strong competitive edge in the low-end market. On the other hand, product quality has been fluctuating due to the excessive pursuit of low costs. If there is a big change in the market, it will inevitably affect the survival of enterprises.

Many domestic resin abrasives companies are not clear about the choice of raw materials, regardless of the indicators, direct procurement, it is very difficult to do a good job of abrasive products. This point can be clearly seen from the purchase of foreign independent companies. Most of the foreign-funded enterprises provide clear product indicators for the procurement of raw material suppliers. They will be used after passing the inspection and test, and will not use the size of the raw material suppliers. Secondary or quality unrelated factors are purchase conditions. Some abrasive companies put forward technical indicators according to the company's production experience, and the resin powder production companies provide separate formulations for the abrasive company. However, the result of long-term use is that abrasive companies are not satisfied with the product quality results of their current suppliers and past suppliers. There is no innovation or improvement in any of these low-end products, which cannot bring new satisfaction and greater benefits to customers. The survival and development of resin abrasives enterprises is such that the development of the resin abrasive industry is not unfavorable.

Foreign company R&D experience

Leading international companies in the industry believe that the research and development of grinding products and grinding technology are inextricably linked. Because of the objective factors of raw materials and process, resin grinding tools can not be completed with more theoretical data to achieve stable quality and new product research and development. More practical experience and continuous experiments are needed to stabilize product quality and continuously develop new products. . The research and development of new products must proceed from the customer's needs. The customer's demand is to put forward higher requirements for the grinding of resin abrasive products. Unlike traditional fine grinding processes, high-speed grinding is a very high metal removal rate. If we look back at the history of grinding technology, it is not difficult to find that high-speed grinding technology started from the renovation of copper billets. In the process of turning steel, various defects such as cracks, wrinkles, crevices, and interlayers are generated on the surface of the blank from the ingot casting to the rolling. If these surface defects are not removed before the next process, it is bound to seriously affect the quality of the finished product. Renovation method. In the past, cold chisels were used. This method was noisy (such as using a gas chisel), was labor-intensive and incomplete, and failed to produce high-quality final products.

Leading companies in the industry

Golden Heron is investing in the field of cutting tool manufacturing in the context of a nationwide upgrade of the level of equipment manufacturing.
