Those problems encountered in the upgrading of the textile machinery industry

my country's testing-equipment' target='_blank'>textile industry is in a critical period of transformation and upgrading. In just a few years, a large number of new mechatronics textile equipment has continued to emerge and are welcomed by users. But it is undeniable that the overall situation of the textile industry has been slightly depressed after a period of sustained development and growth. As a part of the textile industry, the situation of textile machinery is not optimistic.  In order to reverse the unfavorable situation and strengthen the development momentum, my country's textile machinery industry needs to solve the following three problems.  Problem 1: Mechanized imitation    At present, domestic textile machinery equipment still has a big gap with foreign equipment in terms of stability, failure rate, and reliability. Compared with the running-in period of foreign equipment, which is generally half a month, the failure rate of domestic equipment is often a few months or even more than half a year. In addition, the author once heard the sales manager of a textile machinery factory describe their process of developing a combing machine. First, a relatively advanced combing machine was surveyed and mapped in a cotton spinning mill on site, and then it took less than half a year to manufacture the combing machine. The combing machine was introduced to the market. This may be an exaggeration, but it also reflects from the side that some domestic manufacturers only imitate mechanically and do not have the process of digestion, absorption, investment, and research. In this way, how can they produce high-quality machines? In fact, in the environment of global division of labor Independent innovation is a closely related comprehensive process including system integration, processing equipment and technology, and management level. The gap between my country's textile machinery equipment and foreign countries is not only a gap in technological invention, but also a lag in all aspects of technology, talent, and management.  Problem 2: One-sided exaggeration of product functions    In order to obtain orders and seize the market, some textile machinery companies have used the highest level achieved during the experiment as a normal index by configuring accessories and equipment that do not meet the original design requirements, and unilaterally exaggerating the function of the equipment. Take the spinning automatic doffing machine as an example. Some machines claim that it takes 3 to 4 minutes for each row of yarn to be collected, and the yarn retention rate is more than 97%. However, the actual yarn arranging takes more than 4.5 minutes on average and the yarn retention rate is less than 96%. The author walked through some companies, and the response was that the overall efficiency of the purchased new equipment was not up to expectations due to the poor quality of the components and equipment. The maintenance work is very heavy, and the machine material consumption is much higher than expected. This invisible loss is huge. This kind of disguised fraud is irresponsible to the user, and even more irresponsible to oneself.   In addition, in the process of introducing new products and equipment of my country's textile machinery to the market, there are still unstandardized operations. It is understood that the new equipment exhibited by textile machinery companies at the European International Textile Machinery Exhibition will be introduced to the market after at least two years of testing in the experimental factory or the factory of the company that cooperates with it. At present, there are still many domestic textile machinery factories that intentionally or unintentionally use cotton spinning mills directly as experimental factories, using lower-than-market prices as bait to promote equipment that has just been designed but has not been tested in practice. The problem is that the prototype is not a commodity. The prototype has not undergone fatigue tests such as reliability, stability, and failure rate for a considerable period of time in the experimental factory or affiliated spinning mill. It is often put on the market in a hurry. If the maximum efficiency is not obtained, the risk will eventually be passed on to the user plant, causing the user unit to consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Problem 3: The equipment can’t keep up with the main engine. Some textile machinery factories have irregular designs in Ru0026D equipment, or how to transform samples into practical products that satisfy users. They don’t pay attention to innovation, and fail to understand the function, material, and craftsmanship of each component. Wait for system coordination to consider and other issues.   First of all, it is manifested in the poor quality of key components or improper selection, and the accuracy of processing and assembly cannot meet the design requirements. The quality of equipment and components directly determines the quality of the whole machine. The equipment configuration is not in place and there is no standard. The price is only determined according to the agreement with the customer. The price is high, the configuration is good; the price is low, the configuration is poor. Secondly, textile machinery equipment and related supporting technologies lag behind. According to the author's understanding of the textile market, there are currently lags in the following three areas: first, the lag of equipment after high production of equipment is more prominent; second, the maintenance methods of high-end equipment cannot keep up with the requirements; third, the focus of high-speed new equipment maintenance and fueling specifications Lag. Thirdly, the related supporting technologies for process loading are not in place, so that the process cannot be truly stable for long-term loading. Textile machinery factories are often accustomed to mainframe production, and rarely study the production technology and software of popular products on the market. In fact, in some cases, it is not that the equipment performance is not good, but that there is no reasonable process according to the customer's production raw materials. Therefore, to a certain extent, textile machinery factories should also employ first-class textile technologists to assist in textile machinery design.
