Develop core competitiveness and establish a complete EDM value chain

■ Wu Qingchang

The global economy is in a slump, but domestic mold equipment leader CHMER is constantly reporting good news. The first linear motor completely developed by Chinese people and mounted on mold equipment has been successfully mass-produced, becoming the first domestic and second "linear motor" wire cutting machine manufacturer in the world. .

CHMER is one of the top five electric discharge machine and wire cutting machine manufacturers in the world and the largest in China. Among the global electric discharge machine manufacturers, it ranks second only to Switzerland's Charmiles, Japan's Sodick, Fanuc and Mitsubishi. CHMER's "linear motor" line The successful commercialization of cutting machines will demonstrate strong explosive power.

Wang Wuxiong, chairman of CHMER, is also the chairman of the Precision Machinery Research and Development Center (PMC). His greatest interest is the research and development of electromechanics. He has focused on the innovative research and development of mold equipment for 34 years, established a complete domestic electric discharge processing machine value chain, and became a mold manufacturer. The benchmark in the equipment industry.

Wang Wuxiong has won the 11th Youth Entrepreneurship Model and the "4th Elite Award" General Manager Professional Manager Award of the Small and Medium Enterprise Professional Managers Association of the Republic of China; CHMER has won the 8th National Rock Award and the 2nd Little Giant Award. Award, ISO and CE certification, Taiwan Excellence Award, Innovation Research Award, multiple product patents, Research Development Innovation Award, etc.

CHMER has developed key components and technologies for mold equipment with solid basic skills, breaking through the high-end technology threshold, and successfully self-made high-performance linear motors for use in wire cutting machines, completely improving the problem of backlash in machining. By the end of the year, it can be fully introduced into electric discharge mold engraving machines. , high-speed engraving and milling machines and deep-hole electric discharge processing machines, and gradually develop towards increasing the horse thrust to meet the needs of medium and large machines such as grinders and high-speed processing machines.

Wang Wuxiong believes that the machinery industry must develop complete core competitiveness and fully master key technologies. In addition to making high-end key components of "linear motors", CHMER is also actively developing energy-saving, carbon-reducing and high-efficiency equipment in response to the future high-price energy era. Successfully developed an electric energy recharging device, a pump energy-saving system, and coupled with design improvements, successfully launched the development of an energy-saving and carbon-reducing wire cutting machine, which greatly improved the efficiency of electric energy use. With 14K watts of electric energy per hour, it can save about 1.2K watts of electricity; Diao The mold electric discharge processing machine adopts a resistance-free current-limiting discharge circuit system, which greatly improves the processing efficiency by 50%.

Wang Wuxiong said that in response to the rapid rise of mainland-owned factories in China, which have the competitive advantages of localization and cheap prices, CHMER has recently established an operation center in mainland China for CHMER Industrial Suzhou Co., Ltd. In order to reduce costs and be closer to the market, CHMER has established vertical Integrate the marketing resources of three related companies, including CHMER, Shuohong, and Hongyou, and make every effort to cultivate the Chinese mainland market and seize market share.

Wang Wuxiong pointed out that the recent depreciation of the Taiwan dollar is beneficial to export orders for Taiwan-made machines. Although the appreciation of the yen is not conducive to the import of controllers, CHMER has cooperated with the Industrial Research Institute to develop CNC PC-Based numerical controllers. The control system is completely homemade. CHMER has its own With the innovation and improvement of technology, we have successfully launched wire cutting motors. The machine performance is closer to that of Japanese models, completely getting rid of the price competition between mainland Chinese machines and Korean machines.
