Super military empire

"Director Liu, let's take a look at the welding robots in the experimental workshop..." Koji Ikeda knew what rights the young man had.

Even, he also knew that it is very likely that the situation of Hicomb China would have serious consequences for them.

He did not agree to do this before. The Chinese side has no supervision on this area at all. They only supervise the finance and the company's development progress.This gave other Japanese managers a lot of ideas.

The reason they did this is that only in this way can young Chinese learn the essence of Japanese companies and the management model of Japanese companies.

Isn't Mainland China now learning the international management model and want to integrate with the international market?

Liu Yijiu is not clear. Even their own auto factories and computer factories rarely go there. The software is not their focus now. The development of military software is completely different from the civilian market. The computer team is developing various software.

Ikeda Koji was unwilling to communicate with him about such things, and he did not bother to discuss the consequences of this matter with the Japanese.

Originally, I came here to see the extent to which these Japanese who used Chinese funds to do things. In the original world, it was this Hicomb company, which had not been established for long, and established the world’s first A robot automatic welding production line, their welding workshop, only a few people are used.

He hopes that this production line can first appear in China, even if it is made by the Japanese in China.

A large part of the office building is the technical design room, which shares the same building with the office area.

In the light steel structure workshops on both sides are the experimental processing workshops of Hicomb. The products are designed, many of which require production samples to verify the performance and reliability of the products.

The workshop on the left has a large area, which is mainly used for trial production and practical improvement of welding equipment.

The Japanese do have very advanced management experience. In the entire workshop, various tools are arranged very neatly, which looks much neater than most Chinese manufacturing companies.

Things that shouldn't appear in the workshop are absolutely invisible.

In the production workshop, there is only a small amount of processing equipment, and many welding workers are testing the welding machine. The engineers are monitoring various data on the side, and constantly recording these data in their work notes.

"Where is the welding robot?" Liu Yijiu just wanted to see this.

After walking around, the experiments in the entire workshop are all ordinary welding machines, and there is no robot that uses program control for automatic welding.

"In the workshop at the back, the front is the technical basis of the welding robot behind. We need to obtain the basic data used by the robot through manual operation. After obtaining these data, set it into the welding robot to optimize the entire process..." Ikeda Koji explained to Liu Yijiu.

Liu Yijiu knows very well that this is necessary.

Robotic production lines are production technicians that use robots to replace humans. When these technicians operate, they mainly have a few actions that are repeated every day.

This is also brought after the subdivision of the process after the emergence of assembly line production.

According to this mode of production, the entire line can play a very high production efficiency.The more detailed the division of labor, the easier the quality control and the higher the production efficiency.

Each person in the process is only responsible for one or two processes. As a result, the level of technical proficiency is very high day after day, and even the top skilled workers cannot compare with them in this respect.

People need to rest, and long-term labor will make them unable to keep up with their physical strength.If one person has a problem, it affects the entire production line.

For robots, such problems will not arise.

While observing, he followed Ikeda Koji and walked into a workshop nearby.

Liu Yijiu has to admire the Japanese-managed companies. Even though the Ninth Institute has promoted 6s management in Daba Mountain for more than ten years, it is compared with the Japanese-managed factory that has not been established for a long time in China. There are many shortcomings.

"This is the experimental workshop of our welding robots. There are currently three welding robots undergoing testing and two more are being assembled." Ikeda Koji said to Liu Yijiu.

Through the large workshop in the front, you enter into a workshop with an area of ​​only a few hundred square meters in the back.This is an unmanned workshop, and Liu Yijiu was asked to wear anti-static white work clothes with Ikeda Koji.

This is not a dust-free workshop, after all, it is impossible to guarantee dust-free workshops where welding robots work.

What's more, although Japan's top manufacturing equipment is a rising star, its technical performance is still worse than that of the top German products, but it has not bad market performance.

The main reason is that the products of Japan's top manufacturing companies are not as harsh as German precision machinery and equipment. In layman's terms, they are durable.

The workshop is very empty. On one side of the middle aisle, there are three robotic arms, which are moving slowly and continuously.

In particular, there is one. When Liu Yijiu and his colleagues entered the workshop, they were welding the front two structural parts. This is a structural part similar to the main structure of a car, with some curvature and slope on the side, and the top of the robot arm. It is an automatic conveying device for welding wire. Under this device, the welding rod is continuously sent to the front, and then melted to weld the gap between the two structural parts.

Several staff in white coats, white hats and black protective goggles were standing nearby, waiting.

When the robotic arm stopped working, they quickly took off the goggles and moved towards the still dark red weld.

Liu Yijiu also leaned in to see that the welding seam was very smooth, which was much better than the welding effect of ordinary welders.

"No, we must continue to improve the control program. In addition, the control signal transmission line must be optimized, and the melting speed of the welding wire is a bit unstable..." A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face in his forties looked at the welding seam with a face. Are not satisfied.

"This weld is already very good!" Liu Yijiu couldn't help but say.

The Japanese engineer glared at Liu Yijiu dissatisfiedly, "Very good? This is the Chinese standard! The welding material around this weld is not smooth enough. Look at the shape of the edge. It is clear that the robotic arm is moving. The speed in the process is not uniform. Of course, this may also be caused by the uneven melting speed of the welding wire..."

The Japanese engineer spoke to Liu Yijiu rudely.

The rigor of the Japanese has inherited the Germans, which is known to the whole world.

"The automobile industry is nothing else, especially the outside painting and spraying processes, etc., under such a welding surface quality, it will not affect the subsequent process..." Liu Yijiu Ming knew what the Japanese said and asked deliberately. Tao.

"But there is a lot of welding slag generated during the welding process around here, which will affect the subsequent process. If we can’t make the welding quality higher, it will seriously affect the subsequent process. Even our customers need to increase A process to deal with these sputtering welding slag..." The Japanese engineer saw Ikeda Koji constantly hinting to him, knowing that the young man in front of him is not small, and patiently explained.

Liu Yijiu didn't say anything else, but asked the Japanese engineer in front of him, "If the robot is not running smoothly, what is the cause?"

"It may be caused by a problem with the design of the robot itself, or a problem with the program, which requires a lot of experimental verification..." The Japanese engineer did not hide anything.

The young man in front of him asked more professional questions.

"Director Liu, this is the biggest achievement of our automatic welding production line at present. As long as the welding robot research is completed, the entire production line can be operated on this basis." Ikeda Koji did not know Liu Yijiu's thoughts, some If things are not remedied, there will be consequences they cannot think of.

"How long will it take for the production line to be established?" Liu Yijiu asked.

Looking at the layout of automatic welding robots in the entire workshop, it should be possible to build a small experimental production line.

"According to our technology research and development progress, within one year, our technology will be stable..." Ikeda Koji did not answer Liu Yijiu's question, but looked at their technical engineer.

Japanese engineers did not conceal anything, nor did they exaggerate that it would be fast or take a long time.

"Accelerate the progress of research and development. In addition, we can now start the design of the automotive welding process production line. As long as the automatic transmission line is added, the automatic production of the entire welding process in the automotive production process can be fully realized." Liu Yijiu said calmly.

These words made Koji Ikeda's heart a lot easier.

Immediately, he told Liu Yijiu that their design work in this area was almost done. As long as the welding robot technology is stable, the production line can be realized.

Automobile manufacturing mainly uses carbon dioxide shielded welding. According to the operation of the welding manipulator just seen, the stability can be put into use, and the welding quality is also acceptable. In this era, it is naturally impossible to demand too much.

Even if personnel are specially arranged to deal with the welding slag spattered around these welds during the automatic welding process, it is more cost-effective.

The automobile production plant built by the Ninth Institute has a relatively high production capacity in this era. At least it is the largest automobile production plant in China, and they do not have enough technical personnel to realize this kind of production.
