At the beginning of 2010, when the orders from the United States and Europe continued to grow, Dragon City Precision Forging did indeed make a mistake for the company's production capacity. It is necessary to ensure that the plane, the outer circle and the inner hole of the generator claw pole are batch-processed for 24 hours without interruption, and the annual output is guaranteed to be 10 million pieces. It is almost impossible for the precision forging of Longcheng at that time only a few production lines. Task. At the time, the factory machining used the assembly line method. When the equipment was shut down, roughing and finishing could not be operated, which not only caused difficulties in production coordination, but also delayed the production period. In addition, as China's labor costs continue to rise, the strain of human resources is further constraining the expansion of production. Therefore, how to deliver the product on time and at the same time as the product quality is up to standard has become an urgent problem for the Longcheng precision forging manager. The engineers of Longcheng Precision Forging proposed various schemes. After fully comparing, the introduction of new automated production equipment and the adoption of intelligent production management system became the most effective solution unanimously agreed by managers. When it comes to automated production equipment, EMAG has naturally become the first company that engineers think of. “We have heard about EMAG's vertical lathes very early. Now, as a claw pole manufacturer with an annual output of 40 million pieces, automated production is crucial to improving our production capacity. The success story is convincing, and we are confident in our tailor-made VL 3 vertical lathe solution.†When talking about how to start the first cooperation with EMAG, Xu Jin, deputy general manager of Longcheng Precision Forging Production Tao, "After investing in automated production equipment, the production efficiency has reached 1.5 times that of the old production line, and the product machining cycle has been upgraded from 3 shifts to the current one. Previously, the roughing of the claw pole required 3 employees. Processing 1 employee, production line 450 production / class (8 hours); now roughing and finishing on the same production line, 1 operator can produce up to 900." Longcheng precision forging products are very diverse, can reach 40 kinds, production needs to change 2 times every 7 days. On the VL 3 vertical lathe, the spindle replaces the robot for loading and unloading, and the short stroke and compact design enable extremely short clamping and tact time. This ensures that the VL 3 vertical lathe is extremely flexible in the processing of frequently changing batch sizes and part modifications. With the help of EMAG automation solutions, Longcheng precision forging time savings of 34%. At the same time, the output of Longcheng is very large. Under the premise of ensuring the quality of the workpiece, the faster the tempo is, the better, but the less the operator, the better. In response to this production demand, EMAG selected two VL 3 machines with a reversing robot as a production unit, so that an operator can easily manage four machines. In addition, in order to ensure the quality of the product, EMAG chose a special rear pull arm chuck and cutter. The high-quality EMAG machine is equipped with high-quality chucks and knives to ensure continuous machining 24 hours a day. In addition, after the use of automated equipment, the logistics turnover rate of Longcheng Precision Forging has been greatly improved. The new equipment covers only 70% of the original production line, which also helps the company save space and operating costs. “Each VL 3 vertical lathe integrates a loading and unloading system. The circulating conveyor belt delivers the workpiece in the diamond frame to the loading and unloading station at the rear of the processing area. This allows the vertical lathe operator At any time, the machined parts can be removed and new blanks can be inserted at the front of the machine without the need to reset the CNC conveyor belt. This is very suitable for companies such as Longcheng Precision Forging, which pays great attention to processing efficiency.†EM Mark Marketing Director Yang Ming said. For Longcheng precision forging, EMAG is not only a supplier of production equipment, but also a reliable partner. EMAG can not only combine the future product development requirements and technical requirements of Longcheng Precision Forging to help enterprises achieve efficient processing, but also to ensure the safety of personnel and product quality. EMAG also provides relevant training courses for employees of Longcheng Precision Forging. It mainly includes the application, structure, performance and maintenance of the equipment. Xu Jin, deputy general manager of production, also mentioned: "At present, we have arranged the production line of Longcheng precision forging to participate in the training of process programming. The equipment manager and mechanic engineers have participated in the maintenance training. The training time is 3-5 days, from the actual In effect, it is very helpful for employees to be familiar with the production line operation process and improve their business level in machine maintenance." Chairman Zhuang Longxing said in his mention of the cooperation with EMAG: "Our goal is not only to become the leader of China's precision forging industry, but also to be the world's largest supplier of precision forged claws for automobile engines. And our cooperation Partner EMAG also has rich experience in the European and American markets, which can provide professional services for the new production technology and production process that we use in the future development, and provide assistance for the future international marketing strategy of Longcheng Precision Forging!" It is expected that 28 VL 3 production lines will be invested in the further expansion of Longcheng Precision Forging.

"In 2013, our goal is to expand the share of the global market to 35%, and strive to make one of every three cars in the world use the claws of the Dragon City forging!" Shang, Chairman Zhuang Longxing said with pride. Affected by the current slowdown in global economic growth, many international auto parts companies are facing a crisis of reduced orders and declining sales. Few companies are able to make such positive and optimistic expectations for the company's future development. However, Zhuang Longxing firmly believes that in view of the continuous supply of orders and efficient automation production capacity of Longcheng Precision Forging, it is not difficult to achieve sales exceeding 1 billion yuan in 2013.
