The next morning, after the production scheduling meeting was held, Xu Zhenming came to Yiming's light-duty factory, ready to learn about the prototype manufacturing progress of the clothing computer model cutting machine.
He paid special attention to this newly discovered business opportunity.This product is one of Yiming's main products for a long time in the future, and it is also an important link in the redevelopment of the customer resource chain.
In the two years between 1995 and 1996, Yiming's profit growth point was computerized embroidery machines, and its customer base was mainly concentrated in the textile and clothing industries.In the garment CADCMA system link, the garment computer model cutting machine is the most important, and then the garment computer cutting machine.
Once these two products are on the market, Yiming, which has a user base, can quickly open up the situation and quickly promote domestic clothing computer model cutting machines and clothing cutting machines.
The technical content of the garment cutting machine is relatively high, the cost is high, and the market demand is not large. Xu Zhenming does not want to invest energy and financial resources to develop this product for the time being.
Therefore, the clothing computer model cutting machine has become the key product of Xu Zhenming's special attention!
Relatively speaking, although the current sales of CNC flame cutting machines are relatively good, they can only be used as a supplement to Yiming's profit growth point for a long time.Only when the private machinery factory is booming can this kind of product sell well.
"Mr. Xu! The platform accessories of the clothing computer model cutting machine have been processed, and now they are preparing to assemble and debug!"
When Xu Zhenming was thinking about the industrial layout of Yiming's products, Zhang Lin pointed to the semi-finished product of the testing machine of the clothing computer model cutting machine and explained.
The clothing computer model cutting machine is actually an industry application of the computer cutting machine.Used in the clothing industry and textile industry, it is called a clothing computer model cutting machine, and used in the advertising industry is called a computer cutting machine.
The test machine in front of Xu Zhenming was transformed from the prototype of a computer cutting machine.An air chamber with better sealing performance is added under the working platform.
According to Xu Zhenming's original design, this air chamber should be stamped from aluminum alloy sheet.However, there is currently no processing machine tool that can process this kind of air chamber and high-strength aluminum alloy sheet.
In this case, Xu Zhenming now uses 2mm galvanized steel sheet metal and welding technology to manufacture this high-strength, good-sealing gas chamber.This air chamber is naturally several times heavier than aluminum alloy air chamber in weight!
"This air chamber is unqualified! The flatness of the installation plane along the board is not enough, and there is deformation!" Xu Zhenming frowned when he looked at the steel air chamber on the assembly cart.
No matter how it is handled, there will be a little distortion in the welding process.The edge of the riveting place between the air chamber and the work platform is slightly deformed, which will affect the air tightness of the air chamber, and cause air leakage, resulting in insufficient negative pressure in the air chamber.
"Mr. Xu! Such a small gap should not have much impact? Anyway, there are countless small holes on the work platform for ventilation, and I won't care about this gap!"
Zhang Lin has already understood the principles of the drawings of the clothing computer model cutting machine, and has some doubts about the question raised by Xu Zhenming, and said casually.
The work surface designed by Xu Zhenming is a medium-thick aluminum plate with rows of small holes drilled for ventilation. The negative pressure in the air chamber below the work surface is used to absorb the cardboard or plastic board on the work surface.This method is more advanced.However, the air tightness requirements of the air chamber and the workbench are very high.
Looking at Zhang Lin, who was a little disapproving, Xu Zhenming glared at him:
"As a product manager, how can you say the words'should'? There is no'can' and'should' in terms of product quality. You must give me a definite answer! I will change the technical requirements of the drawing of this air chamber. , Add a process of milling and installing the edge plane! Let’s experiment first!"
"Yes, Mr. Xu!"
Zhang Lin blushed and replied.
He knows Xu Zhenming's character and attaches great importance to quality.Although I didn't agree with Xu Zhenming's statement, he didn't dare to say it in person.With his grievances in his stomach, he directed the workers to get busy.
Not long after, the working platform and air chamber of the garment computer cutting machine were assembled and installed on the machine support.A green polyester fiber board is installed above the working platform.Rows of small holes have been drilled on this polyester fiberboard, which correspond to the small holes on the aluminum platform.
In this way, the working platform assembly system of the garment computer model cutting machine has been assembled, and the kraft paper or plastic board can be placed on it for cutting tests.
At this time, a technician in charge of debugging connected the pipe of the vacuum pump to the interface at the bottom of the gas chamber, and then started the vacuum pump.This vacuum pump is a domestic brand. Although it works stably, the noise is loud and it makes a humming roar.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zhenming smiled bitterly, frowned and said: "Hey...no way! Domestic accessories are only at this level! This vacuum pump needs to be replaced, choose a foreign brand!"
"What does it matter? It's just that the voice is louder, does the customer still talk?"
Seeing this situation, an older veteran fitter couldn't help it and asked Xu Zhenming curiously.
He was Xu Zhenming's old colleague when he was working in the machine repair shop.In his career, he has used many domestic brands of equipment like this: the performance is no problem, that is, the noise and ergonomics are much worse than imported products, and the user experience is very bad!
Looking at this old colleague, Xu Zhenming asked him sideways: "You bought a TV set at home, and the image is okay with noisy noises. What would you do?"
"Of course I need to return to the mall!"
The old master fitter spoke without hesitation.
Immediately, he understood the meaning of Xu Zhenming’s words and said with a blushing face: "Mr. Xu is right! Our customers have spent more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan on a high-tech smart device. It must not be tolerated. noise!"
"Yes! We can only choose foreign-branded vacuum pumps in the future, and the worst we need is our own Renwanwan brand! Otherwise, customers will choose to return!"
The workers at the scene understood the meaning of Xu Zhenming's words and shook their heads with regret.
They can't help it. This is the case nowadays, and they can't choose suitable products from domestic brand vacuum pumps.
"Bah..." As he was speaking, a burst of air leaks came from under the workbench of the clothing computer model cutting machine.
At this time, the green countertop of the workbench was covered with a large kraft paper, which blocked the ventilation holes on the countertop.The air chamber is currently under negative pressure. If there is no such air leakage, the negative pressure will always be maintained and the kraft paper on the work surface will be absorbed.
In this way, the kraft paper will not move along with the cutting blade when the head of the computerized clothing model cutting machine is working, and the precision of the cut clothing model can be guaranteed.And the air chamber is leaking, the adsorption force of the kraft paper will be obviously insufficient, and the accuracy of the clothing model will definitely not be guaranteed!
Seeing this, Zhang Lin gave instructions to his technicians: "Hurry up and check to see where the air is leaking!"
"Don't look! It must be air leaking at the edge of the air chamber!" Xu Zhenming glanced at Zhang Lin and told everyone what he had guessed.
Two technicians squatted down and followed the sound to find the leak.
Following Xu Zhenming's instructions, they quickly found three air leaks, all at the junction of the air chamber edge and the platform.It turned out that the deformation of the three edges was too large, even if rubber seals were used, it still failed to block the deformation gaps in these three places.
"Mr Xu really is leaking along the mouth!"
"Manager Zhang! Are we going to remove the air chamber and go to the gantry milling machine to brush the edge plane?"
The two technicians got out from under the clothing computer model cutting machine and reported on their work.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin turned his face to look towards Xu Zhenming, his eyes full of inquiries.Up to now, he is still not reconciled, and wants to start the clothing computer cutting machine to do a cutting test.
Those who engage in technology are all like this, they are all people who accept death.
If you don't convince him, he will hide his grievances in his heart.There are even people who say behind the scenes: "If you listen to my technical proposal, it must be what will happen!"
Xu Zhenming has encountered this situation.I have seen too many technicians complain about the boss behind, complain about their own boss, and complain about the technical authority in the company.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming smiled and told Zhang Lin: "Manager Zhang, go and pull the kraft paper on the working platform! If it doesn't move, we will continue to test; otherwise, we will immediately rework the air chamber! Doing product testing is to constantly discover problems. , Solve the problem. All the problems are solved before the product can be modeled!"
"Yes, Mr. Xu!"
After receiving Xu Zhenming's order, Zhang Lin came to the platform of the clothing computer model cutting machine with the idea of not believing in evil.He squeezed the edge of the cowhide with both hands and pulled it suddenly. The cowhide paper was pulled and moved about three or four centimeters.
Seeing this scene, he blushed and reported to Xu Zhenming: "Mr. Xu, you are still right! The air leakage point at the air chamber installation edge has a great influence on the negative pressure of the air chamber, and I have to pay attention to it!"
It was only now that he believed the principle that his boss Xu Zhenming had said, and he didn't dare to hold back.
"Hehe... or Mr. Xu has the most sense!"
"Of course! Xu is always the inventor of this kind of clothing computer model cutting machine, the most technically authoritative!"
"Big guys do it faster! Mr. Xu is still waiting for the experiment!"
At this time, Zhang Lin's technicians were disassembling the air chamber while talking in a low voice.
Through the scenes just now, these people admire their boss Xu Zhenming in their hearts.Not the kind of flattery to please, but convincing.Whoever wants to say that Xu Zhenming's technique is not good, they will even talk to you about it.
The technicians are all excellent, and you can't hold them without the real level.
Not long after, they shipped back the processed air chamber.The edge of the upper part of the air chamber is brushed flat, and the flatness error will not exceed 0.05 mm.
"It should be almost this time!"
"I think it will work! It should not leak!"
The technicians whispered while installing the air chamber.
Before long, they restored the testing machine of the clothing computer model cutting machine to its original shape and waited to test again.
The next morning, after the production scheduling meeting was held, Xu Zhenming came to Yiming's light-duty factory, ready to learn about the prototype manufacturing progress of the clothing computer model cutting machine.
