The basics and development history of textile instrument manufacturing

1. The development history of textile instruments my country's textile instrument manufacturing industry has a long history, dating back to the 1940s. In the 1980s, the Ministry of Textile Industry built six or seven designated textile instrument manufacturing plants, an instrument research and development base, and a textile instrument testing center, and established nearly 20 provincial textile measurement stations across the country, initially forming textile instruments Development, manufacturing, testing and maintenance systems; however, at that time only low-end mechanical instruments were the mainstay. Since the reform and opening up, driven by the market economy, the textile instrument manufacturing industry has developed rapidly. The participation of some military, private, and high-tech enterprises has promoted the improvement of my country's textile instrument design and manufacturing level, and products have gradually transitioned to electronics. Modernization and computerization, the varieties almost include all kinds of instruments needed by the textile industry. In terms of the number of products, the world's largest textile instrument manufacturing industry has been formed. Not only does textile instruments no longer rely on imports, they are also exported abroad. 2. Domestic textile equipment manufacturing enterprises At present, most of my country’s textile equipment manufacturing industry is joint-stock enterprises and private enterprises, including large and medium-sized enterprises transformed from military industrial enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises evolved from designated factories of the Ministry of Textiles in the past. A new type of joint-stock enterprise with a history of more than ten years. These enterprises cooperate with research institutes (institutes), universities and other research and development units, and have become the backbone of the textile instrument manufacturing industry. The scale and Ru0026D capabilities of textile equipment manufacturing enterprises are quite different: large enterprises have more than four to five hundred people, with annual sales of more than 200 million, and strong independent research and development capabilities; medium-sized enterprises generally have one to two hundred people , With annual sales of about one to twenty million yuan, most of which have certain Ru0026D capabilities; most companies have less than 50 employees, or even a few people, with annual sales ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million yuan, and their Ru0026D capabilities are relatively high. weak.   3. The popularization and application of computer and electrical measurement technology for domestic textile instruments shortens the research and development cycle of the instrument and improves the grade of the instrument. The variety of textile instruments has been continuously improved, and most of the test instruments required by various industries and processes from fiber, yarn, weaving, printing and dyeing, finishing, clothing and even large textiles can be produced in China. Some conventional instruments, especially those for yarn testing, have fully met the needs of the development of my country's textile industry and have completely replaced imports, and some have reached a higher level. Although the grades of domestic textile instruments are constantly improving, they are still dominated by general-purpose and low-end instruments, and only a few factories can produce high-end instruments. The overall level of domestic textile equipment, such as appearance and quality, is not as good as foreign products.     On the other hand, the level of my country's textile instrument manufacturing industry is relatively behind other industries. Established textile equipment manufacturing companies are not doing well, or even go bankrupt or change business; the products of emerging companies are mostly concentrated in some conventional and low-end instruments with low investment and large sales. If things go on like this, it will not only not change the backwardness of textile equipment, but also not meet the needs of the textile industry for high-end equipment. The price of domestic textile instruments is far lower than that of imported instruments. In addition to the limited manufacturing level, foreign instrument manufacturers are not interested in China's low-end and general-purpose instrument market. They mainly promote high-end instruments, especially chemical fiber testing instruments.
