Challenges faced by the metal stamping parts manufacturing industry under the new situation

The challenges faced by the metal stamping parts manufacturing industry. With the development of the international market and the improvement of foreign productivity, the advantages of China's metal stamping parts manufacturing industry are gradually weakening or even losing. The main reasons are as follows: 1) Single product series, Lack of competitiveness in the international market. Chinese residents do not have high requirements for hardware stamping products used in building decoration and home furnishings. They mainly pursue reliable quality and rarely consider the comfort and aesthetics of use. However, in foreign markets, especially European and American markets, customers often Under the premise of considering the high quality of the product, there are more additional requirements such as aesthetics and ergonomics. Taking cabinet door stays as an example, domestic customers mainly require the door stays to play a good supporting role and be able to open and close multiple times; However, in addition to the above requirements, customers in the European and American markets also require the door brace to have damping characteristics, to prevent the elastic impact when the cabinet door is opened, and even have requirements for the angle and direction of the cabinet door. The purpose is to make more space utilization. Reasonable. PLM provides design and use standards for some foreign products. Domestic companies can form a database on this basis to produce serialized products and improve market competitiveness. 2) The production equipment is backward and the product accuracy is low. Due to the metal stamping parts The machining accuracy of the product is not high, and traditional machine tools can basically meet its requirements. Therefore, most domestic enterprises still use ordinary machine tools; however, in the face of ever-changing demand in the market, ordinary machine tools have the disadvantage of poor adaptability to new products. In recent years, due to the continuous increase in labor costs, some companies have gradually begun to use CNC machine tools, and even introduced manipulators. Companies are trying to reduce the proportion of labor costs required by the automation of production lines. In this context, PLM The application of technology has a certain hardware foundation. 3) Lack of new product research and development experience and technology accumulation. To a certain extent, China’s metal stamping products are copied from foreign products, which makes enterprises lack experience in new product development and design. The experience in standards and technical personnel training is particularly insufficient. The use of PLM technology can enable enterprises to quickly form new regulations for product development and greatly shorten the research and development cycle. 4) The labor cost is rapidly increasing. The domestic manufacturing industry is short of labor resources and labor costs. Increase is an indisputable fact. PLM technology can seamlessly connect the production process while shortening the product development cycle. With the support of certain equipment, it can greatly reduce the number of labor use.
