Core parts sealing and high-end manufacturing

A few days ago, the market re-passed the news and was one of the core components independently developed by XCMG – the XCMG 6-ton loader equipped with a new electronically-controlled gearbox was once again mass-produced, and the frequent favor of the high-end market further confirmed Xugong’s product innovation. The strength and position of the leader in the construction machinery industry.

The core components are inconvenient, and high-end manufacturing “sores the throat”

Many years ago, Bai Yimin published the "Mitsui Empire in Action," which reshaped the concept of "Made in China": If the core components of Chinese brand products are not their own, they can only be called "made in China." Indeed, it is an indisputable fact that China is a big manufacturing country. Not only has the industry's production and sales both ranked first in the world, it has also met nearly 90% of China's domestic market demand. However, the halo of manufacturing power is hard to hide the hollowness of core components. The data shows that for a long time, the import cost of key components such as engines, transmission systems, hydraulic components, and control components in China accounted for more than 40% of the manufacturing cost, and nearly 70% of the profits of the industry were captured by foreign investors.

After decades of hard work and accumulation, Xu Min, Chairman and Party Committee Secretary of XCMG Wang Min stated that "China's construction machinery industry has solved 90% of the difficulties, but the most critical thing is to overcome the last 10%. This is like climbing Everest. The last few hundred meters of the peak need to gather more power, use more financial resources, more wisdom and more talents to solve the last few hundred meters and 10% of the problems.” And the core components are to solve this The magic of the last 10% problem. Wang Min, chairman of the board at this time, "the peak of Mount Everest," pointed out the direction for the company.

Accelerating independent innovation, Xugong's three-way breakthrough in the core bottleneck and the technical bottlenecks are not beyond the pinnacle of the trend. First of all, to really improve the loader and other industrial problems, we must really break through the electronically controlled transmission and the wet drive axle. XCMG takes this as a breakthrough and has included the research and development of electronically controlled gearboxes and wet drive axles as major technological research projects. Companies have invested tens of millions of yuan to build and improve the drive technology laboratory, and actively build a strong technical team composed of international and domestic famous experts. After six years of grinding, R&D personnel have finally achieved the promise of being proud of their achievements in drive technology: XCMG’s R&D of electronic control boxes and wet drive axles with independent intellectual property rights is by far the most substantial breakthrough in the core technology of domestic loaders. It is the first key component technology company with independent intellectual property rights in the industry. It not only surpasses international well-known brands in technology, but also completely replaces imports by taking advantage of more adaptability to China's working conditions.

XCMG's new wet drive axle inherits and amplifies the "solid and heavy" style that XCMG has consistently adhered to. The strong over-load capacity is the distinctive feature of XCMG's drive axles. The 6-ton loader is used as a chassis and converted into a 25-ton stone fork loading machine. This is the best interpretation of this powerful overloading ability. The power capacity of the new XCMG gearbox is greater than 25% of the current domestic gearbox. XCMG electronic control box and wet drive axle completely overcome the shortcomings of many domestic traditional transmission faults and short service life. After a long period of harsh working conditions, the first time the fault-free use time is more than 8000 hours. The successful development and mass production of these two products have laid a solid foundation for the development of Xugong Transmission Parts.

At the same time, as a Xugong Hydraulic Parts Company with more than 30 years of professional hydraulic cylinder production history, it also focused on Xugong’s “three high and one great” technological innovation goal. In 2007, it invested 340 million yuan in the “Technical Improvement Project to Improve Hydraulic Cylinder Quality and Capacity”. In production, a high- and medium-pressure hydraulic cylinder, valve lock and complete hydraulic system production base with the domestic first-class level were built in Xugong. Since the beginning of 2009, after three years, XCMG broke the international market structure of excavator fuel tanks, realized the production capacity of excavator fuel tanks from 3.5T to 135T, and the longest trouble-free working time exceeded 10,000 hours, leading the domestic reliability. In 2011, the hydraulic accessories branch broke through the sales revenue of 100 million yuan to become one of the largest companies in the production of hydraulic soft pipe and joints in China, and acquired two European companies, AMCA and FT in the Netherlands, in one fell swoop. It has reached the manufacturing of high-end hydraulic parts and further expanded the capabilities of high-end components and key supporting core technologies to promote the need for differentiated development of the host. A hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic system, hydraulic soft and hard pipe, hydraulic valve, hydraulic pump, hydraulic motor, a full range of hydraulic components and complete hydraulic system providers and solvers are gradually forming, Xugong hydraulic parts are leading the trend of the industry, and gradually go international High-end.

In addition, the technology-leading, quality-reliable railway construction and maintenance equipment, underground space and tunnel construction equipment and four-wheeled parts and components provide a powerful driving force for the company's leap-forward development. The hot-forging and heat-treating core manufacturing technologies for the four-wheeled manufacturing area have demonstrated the new results of the parallel development of main engines and components, and built an industrial structure in which host machines and parts are developed in parallel. Xugong's basic parts and components companies such as Xuzhou Luote Aide Company, Xuzhou Meichi Axle Co., Ltd. (joint venture), Xuzhou Luote Aide Co., Ltd. (Joint Venture), Xugong Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. chassis division and other scale and efficiency are in the industry Leading level. Xuzhou Meichi Axle Co., Ltd. is the largest domestic company specialized in producing all kinds of construction machinery and axles for special vehicles.

Innovation Leads XCMG to Build High-end Core Parts System to Ascend the World's Peak Since ancient times, Xiong Guan has become as iron as it is. In the face of the status quo of the blockade technology of the most core components being blocked by foreign companies, after continuous exploration in recent years, XCMG has developed a unique path of “independent innovation + merger and acquisition digestion + joint and collaborative innovation”: independent breakthrough. High-end hydraulic cylinders, new transmissions, high-end electronic control systems and other key technologies; Acquired two European companies and European R&D centers as platforms to accelerate breakthroughs in core technologies such as valves, pumps, motors and hydraulic systems; with Germany, the United States, and South Korea Multinational companies, such as joint ventures and cooperation, have broken through bottleneck technologies such as slewing bearings, drive axles, engines, and control components. Sales volume of core components such as hydraulic cylinders, drive axles, and slewing bearings ranks first in the country.

XCMG, the leader in high-end core parts and components in China, is in this battleable position, and XCMG, with its profound understanding of the industry, has positioned itself in the context of multiple transformations in the Chinese construction machinery industry. The journey of the core components and components to become the first and the world’s advanced level of strategic goals is accelerating the pace of catching up and moving forward. As the 25th consecutive leader in the Chinese construction machinery industry and the 5th among the global construction machinery manufacturers, the XCMG Group continues to lead the local engineering machinery company Corps in an all-round way to the top of the world. The magnificent picture of a new round of development and development is taking a big step forward. The trend spreads in the land of Huaxia.
