The current situation and distribution of my country's textile instrument market

Domestic textile equipment manufacturing enterprises At present, most of my country’s textile equipment manufacturing industries are joint-stock enterprises and private enterprises, including large and medium-sized enterprises transformed from military industrial enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises evolved from designated factories of the Ministry of Textiles in the past, and existing enterprises. New-type joint-stock enterprises 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. weak. The popularization and application of domestic textile instrument computer and electrical measurement technology shortens the instrument research and development cycle and improves the quality of the instrument. The varieties of textile instruments are constantly being improved, and most of the testing 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 the international advanced 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 advanced products. On the other hand, the level of my country's textile instrument manufacturing industry lags behind other industries. Established textile instrument manufacturing companies are not doing well, even going bankrupt or changing 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. The textile industry has a long process flow from fiber raw materials to spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing or other finished products. In order to control and improve product quality, it is necessary to conduct online inspection and monitoring of each process in the complex and multi-link process. Raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products are subject to quality inspection and quality control. Distribution of textile instruments: Fiber performance testing by fiber testing instruments is one of the more difficult aspects in the field of textile testing technology. The main reason is that there are many kinds of samples, the state is disorderly, and the quantity to be tested is huge. Domestic fiber instruments have a long history, from early manual, slow, single-index instruments to the current large-capacity test system, from cotton fiber, wool fiber quality testing instruments to hemp fiber, cashmere, chemical fiber And other testing equipment. But from an overall point of view, the degree of instrument automation is relatively backward, and many test mechanisms need to be further studied. The cotton fiber large-capacity testing system is a representative of high-end instruments in the fiber testing field, and it marks the manufacturing level of a country's textile instruments. Internationally represented by USTER HVI from Uster, India, PREMIER and Israel have this product. After several years of hard work, my country has developed the Ⅺ120 fast cotton fiber performance tester, which can give the cotton fiber length, length uniformity, specific strength, elongation, micronaire value, color, surface leaf debris, The performance of 16 indicators such as moisture regain is equivalent to that of the Swiss USTER HVI, marking that my country's textile instrument level has entered the international advanced ranks. Other secondary compression cotton fiber fineness meter that can simultaneously test cotton fiber fineness and maturity indicators, wool fineness meter developed by photoelectric detection technology and image processing technology, CSIRO-type wool length and strength testing system , Flax fiber testing equipment, fully automated filament crimp rate tester, etc. have also been developed in China, but the overall level of fiber equipment is still relatively backward. Yarn testing instruments The varieties of yarn testing instruments are very complete, such as capacitive evenness tester, photoelectric evenness tester, automatic single yarn strength tester, yarn defect classifier, twist tester, hairiness tester, count scale, etc. Some have reached the international advanced level. CT2000 automatic evenness tester can automatically test the evenness, hairiness and other indicators of 20 tubes of yarn, and can use the expert analysis and diagnosis system to evaluate the test results, and point out the faulty parts of the equipment and the defects of the process parameter setting; the appearance of CTloOO yarn The analyzer uses a high-speed CCD camera to detect the yarn diameter from perpendicular to each other, and gives the average diameter, unevenness, ovality, defect and other indicators, and simulates the effect of black sliver and simulated fabric, and provides a comprehensive understanding of yarn performance for textile enterprises It helps a lot. The test performance of these two instruments are close to similar instruments from Uster. At present, there are 10 domestic manufacturers that can manufacture capacitive evenness testers. There are more than 30 manufacturers of single yarn strength testers. More than half of them have fully automatic tester products, and some have high-speed stretching functions. Strong machines suitable for chemical fibers and cords are also available in China. The maximum tensile strength can reach 500 N and the elongation rate can reach 800%.
