The technological gap in the domestic textile machinery industry is narrowing

After years of development, although the weaving technology of domestic textile machinery equipment has achieved leapfrog development, it is undeniable that there are still many differences in domestic equipment. In order to understand the difference between domestic equipment and imported equipment, and which equipment users currently need in textile enterprises, the equipment management personnel conducted follow-up investigations, and carefully sorted out, classified and summarized these valuable survey data, forming this Group reports. We hope that through this group of reports, we can build a communication platform for textile and textile machinery enterprises, and ultimately promote the quality of domestic textile machinery equipment to reach international quality as soon as possible.  The gap of domestic equipment: low durability and poor reliability  Many domestic textile machinery companies are keen on copying, and they are not enthusiastic about basic research on new products, and the speed of research and development is slow. This has also led to gaps in domestic equipment such as high labor, poor reliability, low efficiency, low level of automation, and fewer energy-saving and consumption-reducing measures. At present, the division of labor in the textile industry is becoming more and more refined, and the trend of stronger professionalism is becoming more and more obvious. Although the current domestic equipment has greatly improved in material manufacturing, general equipment such as dyeing machines, dryers, carding machines, draw frames, rovings Machines, spinning frames, etc. have greatly improved in terms of product quality, but most of the textile machinery sold on the market now still has a certain gap in the durability of the electronic control system. In comparison, imported equipment has certain advantages in electronic control and precision equipment.  In the future development of textile enterprises, the traditional textile machinery equipment will be upgraded and replaced. The main gap between domestic equipment and imported equipment is that product performance, quality and reliability are still insufficient. At the same time, many domestic textile machinery companies are keen on copying and are not enthusiastic about basic research on new products. The speed is slower. This is mainly manifested in the high labor, poor reliability, low efficiency, low level of automation, and fewer energy-saving and consumption-reducing measures for domestic equipment. In production, domestic textile machines will also encounter problems such as large platform difference, poor stability, inoperable control system, distorted display data, difficulty in docking pipelines, and loose sealing of interfaces. Advantages of domestic equipment: excellent price, good accessories and full service. Domestic textile equipment greatly simplifies the structure of machinery and electrical appliances, reduces manufacturing costs, increases testing functions, and improves the technical content of the instrument. Domestic testing equipment has become a reliable source for technicians. assistant.   Generally speaking, the advantages of domestically-made equipment are affordable prices, good parts and services, simple operation techniques, and convenient maintenance. Domestically-made equipment does still have insufficient labor and poor reliability, but its advantages are also obvious, such as affordable prices and good parts and services. There are also technical personnel in textile companies who believe that although imported equipment has high production efficiency and good stability, the problem is that imported equipment requires a large investment and higher maintenance costs. Textile companies currently need equipment with a high degree of automation, reduced labor, and reasonable cost performance. The exhibits currently on display can basically meet the needs of enterprises.   In addition to the mainframe, the quality of some domestic equipment is also approaching that of foreign products, and has been affirmed and praised by many users. However, the use effect is already very good. The service speed of domestic equipment and equipment accessories is much faster than that of foreign enterprises, and the price of accessories is generally acceptable to domestic enterprises.
