Electrical reporter interviewed Mr. Ke xianliu, the intelligent operation officer of Tungray.It was published in the first issue of electrical appliances, the authoritative journal of China's household appliance industry, 2019. Please pay attention.
"In 2018, we made two major breakthroughs in the application of high-frequency induction brazing automation. One is that the rotary table automation equipment has achieved multiple applications in air conditioning plants, and the other is that the automatic feeding equipment has been recognized by many compressor enterprises." On November 20, 2018, the operating officer of Tungray group, kexianliu, who is fully involved in the market promotion of Tungray Intelligent Technology (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as TIT), said excitedly in an interview with the reporter of electric appliance. In fact, it has been more than a year since TIT promoted the high-frequency brazing power supply technology in the household appliance industry . The successful listing of these two solutions marks that the application scheme based on the high-frequency welding power supply technology of Tungray group has passed the market test and been recognized by the market.
With the purpose of meeting customer needs, integrated solutions have been recognized by the market
"The core technology of turntable automation equipment is still the core technology of Tungray group - high frequency brazing power supply, which is a pipeline welding automation solution integrating turntable, manipulator, vision system and other equipment." Kexianliu emphasized. He told the reporter of "electric appliance" that the equipment can automatically weld the pipeline components of air conditioners and refrigerators on a large scale, including evaporators, condensers, etc. For the air conditioning and refrigerator industries that still weld pipelines with artificial flame at present, this solution is of great help to improve the production efficiency and production capacity of the whole machine.
The outstanding advantages make this set of equipment recognized by air conditioning enterprises as soon as it is launched. According to kexianliu, the equipment has been gradually promoted in mainstream air-conditioning brands such as Gree, Haier and Midea since the end of 2017. So far, we have received orders for 8 equipment, of which 6 have been delivered. "In terms of current sales opportunities, many mainstream air conditioning brands have decided to adopt our scheme, so we expect that the sales volume of turntable automation equipment will form a blowout situation in 2019, and the order volume will increase to 24 units, or even up to 38 units." But xianliu said proudly.
Another product launched by TIT in 2018 is automatic feeding equipment. The equipment is aimed at the compressor, the core component of the whole machine. This industry, like the whole machine factory, urgently needs to reduce labor costs and improve production efficiency.
According to kexianliu, in the past, when compressor enterprises used flame to weld compressor pipelines, operators needed to put on welding rings first to carry out this operation. Now, we have integrated the automatic feeding device on the high-frequency welding power supply to form a set of solutions to help customers achieve a higher degree of automation. In 2018, TIT successfully promoted the equipment to Wanbao, Dongbei, Haili, Qianjiang and other compressor enterprises .
The technology is constantly upgraded, and the future can be expected
In the view of kexianliu, there are three reasons for the smooth start of rotary table automation equipment and automatic feeding equipment. First, TIT met the needs of customers . On the one hand, at present, China's demographic dividend is gradually losing, and appliance enterprises, which have always been known for their labor-intensive, have begun to consider reducing labor costs. On the other hand, the current market competition is more intense, the efficiency of labor production is not high, and the stability of quality needs to be improved. Replacing labor with automatic equipment is a practice recognized by the industry. Second, help customers save costs, because manual flame welding consumes a lot of solder, and high-frequency welding technology can reduce energy consumption.
Third, in order to meet the changing needs of customers, TIT actively cooperated with the whole machine factory to develop new products , and continued to innovate and iterate in technology.
In terms of technology iteration, he said : "On the basis of the approval of the single welding head equipment, we have also launched the double welding head equipment, which can further improve the production efficiency. However, at present, although the double welding head equipment has not been officially launched, we have been making market plans with key suppliers in this regard. We expect it to be launched in 2019. Once the product is launched, it will accurately respond to the overall situation for the air-conditioning enterprises that have continued to expand production in the past two years The demand of the machine factory. "
For the actual capacity of double wire feeding equipment, Six data can be used to interpret to reporters: "From the perspective of reducing labor costs, the manual welding position on the air conditioning production line generally requires 3 people, plus 1 person in the detection link, a total of 4 people. A single welding head rotary table automation equipment can undertake the workload of these 4 people, and only one person is responsible for operating this equipment, which is very easy. From the perspective of production efficiency, the single welding head equipment can complete welding every 9 seconds, and the double welding head equipment can complete welding in only 4.5 seconds Welding, the efficiency is doubled. "
As the year 2019 is approaching, TIT, which is already well prepared, is confident of its goals for the next year . Kexianliu said frankly, "the main goal of TIT in 2019 is to further promote turntable automation equipment in Haier, Gree, Midea and Hisense. In addition, we will gradually develop a simplified version of turntable automation equipment through technological innovation and try to promote it in some second-line brands. At the same time, the sales of automatic feeding equipment in 2019 is expected to reach 40."
