'We devoted 40 years to this subdivision industry of car forging gears', said Fu Zhigang, chairman of Qingdao Samsung Forging Gear Co., Ltd. Samsung is the first specialized enterprise in China to produce precision forged gears, originally built in In 1976, from the beginning of the founding of the factory to determine the path of specialization, the main car, construction machinery for precision bevel gear differential and forging, heavy vehicles, construction machinery, agricultural machinery gear the top three .
Samsung gear products.
New product development cycle of about 20 days
From the Mercedes-Benz, Iveco, Volvo to FAW, heavy truck, Shaanxi Auto, Samsung 800 kinds of bevel gear products, covering most of the heavy vehicles at home and abroad, construction machinery bridge used by the differential bevel gear. As a result of precision forging technology, The tooth profile of the bevel gear can be directly forged and shaped, which saves 10% to 15% of the material and 20% to 30% of the processing cost compared with the traditional processing method, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency.
Fu Zhigang said that the current overall profitability of the automotive gear industry is not high, especially the annual drop in prices of car gear, to suppress the breathless business.In recent years, companies actively involved in the development of new automotive products company, the main growth from new products.
R & D each year about 10 kinds of models, more than 30 kinds of bevel gear new products, new models for each type of product development cycle of about 20 days, the market now appeared on the new model most of the bevel gear developed by Samsung R & D to seize the market First, Samsung is the first forging gear industry to achieve the first robot instead of manual operation automation precision forging bevel gear manufacturers to achieve a non-oxidation precision forging bevel gear technology.
Fu Zhigang said: 'In the past is a manual lathe, and later switched to CNC machine tools, now changed automation, the future direction is intelligent.' For example, a gear hobbing ordinary gear takes 40 minutes, and efficient hobbing machine, a key automation 6 minutes and a half, Efficiency increased dramatically.
Automated intelligent coupled with reduced manpower requirements, the benefits to the enterprise is self-evident.Samsung 8,000 square meters of new plant is expected to put into operation in the first half of next year, mechanical processing, manufacturing and heat treatment of three aspects of equipment will be fully automated intelligent. The original machine is to look at two machines, it is now a person to see ten. Hobbing machine is now an efficiency of top ten in the past, while grinding a top six units.
Today, one of the few workers in the Samsung workshop is doing simple work such as feeding, nursing equipment, and labor intensity is greatly reduced, although there is a certain distance from the unmanned factory envisaged in the future, the development trend has become clear.
Create a modern apprenticeship
Made in China to achieve 'butterfly change', there is an urgent need to change the past education model and train a group of highly skilled personnel with 'craftsmanship'. 'Craftsmanship' in Germany and other countries is closely related to its training system, especially modern apprenticeship Has become recognized as the dominant mode of education in vocational colleges and universities, Samsung is doing is also this point.
As a pilot unit of the Jiaozhou Modern Apprenticeship and Training Base, Samsung changed the mode of recruitment from society since 2007. Through cooperation with vocational schools, the university and university jointly set up a tube training class, in which students enter the Samsung classes, The first two years of school system learning theory, the last year to the enterprise training, internship two-way choice.Through targeted teaching, technical personnel to the school to explain, students come to plant training practice, master hands-on teaching experience, changed the past occupation Disconnection between theory and practice in education.
This year, two classes of 100 people eventually left 70, the first two years into the plant 50. Through the modern apprenticeship training mode, the past few years the factory imported a large number of young 'blood.' The more than 500 old enterprises, young people The proportion has accounted for about 80% of the young people are motivated children have a bright future, and automation of intelligence more need to understand the computer to understand the technology of young people, which Fu Zhigang very pleased.
Currently there is a social sense of resistance when faced with workers, Samsung made the slogan for the internal 'create Samsung brand, Samsung craftsmen' .Fu Zhigang believes that cultivating small and medium enterprises need to learn German, Japanese craftsman spirit, even if a small screw Must be high quality. 'The real foundation and foundation of the country lies in the advanced manufacturing industry, to sank to focus on physical, manufacturing and specialization, to promote labor to create value, to make the product a place in the world 'Said Fu Zhigang.
Excavate the car 'last piece of cake'
Let the old business rejuvenated, not only the younger talent team, there are changes in the development of the concept of keeping up with the relying on years of automotive gear technology accumulation, Samsung trying to open up new areas of development in the field of low-speed electric vehicles to further extend the industrial chain .
Fu Zhigang into the field of new energy vehicles is also an accident, originally only to help a friend to do electric vehicle gearbox equipment, did not expect the noise control and transmission efficiency to do better than their peers, then out of control .From the core to find professionals to make the vehicle Design and planning, transmission independent research and development, and Brilliance Jinbei cooperation in the use of its shell and chassis, motors, batteries, electric control 'Three Electricity' part of the procurement.So to explore the way forward, Samsung has become a new energy automotive industry a 'recruit' Own brand Xingrui priced between 40,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan, the maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, life of 150 km to 180 km. Has been used in scenic spot policing and community patrols.
Fu Zhigang that electric cars is the automotive industry 'the last piece of cake' is a disruptive industry that will have a huge impact on the traditional automobile industry, but the world are at the same starting line, even if Tesla, batteries and other components are not Their own, the main completion of the system design, which also gives him such opportunities and learn from SMEs. 'We mainly value the prospects for development, cooperation with large enterprises to try new things, did not invest too much, did not leave the main industry. In the future green industry, green travel is the development direction, but the market is still a small minority, in the promotion period. "Fu Zhigang said.
The road is tough, but Samsung is still trying its best to make a dream of making a car, perhaps attracting huge market for new-energy vehicles, perhaps due to the pressure of transition and maybe because of the corporate mission and feelings.
