Analysis of the relationship between advanced manufacturing technology and mechanical manufacturing process
The connotation of advanced manufacturing technology and mechanical manufacturing process
Advanced manufacturing technology integrates cutting-edge technologies such as informatization, automation, and new materials to achieve automation, intelligence, and efficiency in the manufacturing process. It is a key support for driving the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, improving quality and efficiency, and contributing to enhancing core competitiveness.
Mechanical manufacturing processes are the key to transforming design intent into qualified products. They span the entire process from raw material processing to product assembly and directly impact product precision, performance, and production efficiency. With technological advancements, manufacturing processes are evolving towards digitalization, intelligence, flexibility, environmental friendliness, and efficiency.
The close relationship between advanced manufacturing technology and mechanical manufacturing process
Advanced manufacturing technology is inseparable from the support of mechanical manufacturing processes, and the development of mechanical manufacturing processes is also continuously optimized under the impetus of advanced manufacturing technology. The two complement each other and jointly promote the development of manufacturing towards intelligent and efficient development.
Advanced manufacturing technologies provide new means for optimizing mechanical manufacturing processes. For example, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and intelligent sensing have significantly improved automation and product quality. At the same time, the integration of information technology has accelerated the transformation of mechanical manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.
Application of advanced manufacturing technology in mechanical manufacturing
CNC machining technology
CNC machining, which uses computer programs to control machine tools, offers high precision, high efficiency, and strong adaptability, making it one of the most widely used advanced manufacturing technologies in machinery manufacturing. With the development of multi-axis linkage and high-speed cutting technologies, CNC machining enables high-precision manufacturing of complex parts, widely meeting the needs of industries such as aviation and automotive.
Additive Manufacturing Technology
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is a technology that directly manufactures parts by depositing materials layer by layer based on 3D model data, eliminating the need for molds and tools. It overcomes the limitations of difficult-to-process complex structures and offers significant advantages in shortening development cycles, improving material utilization, and enabling personalized manufacturing.
Intelligent Manufacturing Technology
Intelligent manufacturing is the product of the integration of advanced manufacturing and new-generation information technology. Through intelligent equipment, industrial Internet, etc., it realizes the digitization, networking and intelligence of mechanical manufacturing, and promotes changes in production methods.
Optimization measures for advanced manufacturing technology and mechanical manufacturing processes
Intelligent Transformation
In the context of “Internet Plus” and Industry 4.0, companies should accelerate the development of information infrastructure and the application of intelligent equipment to promote the intelligent transformation of mechanical manufacturing processes. Through the Industrial Internet, automated equipment, the Internet of Things, and big data technologies, the entire process from design to service can be intelligentized, improving production efficiency and quality, and moving towards less-manned and even unmanned production.
Process parameter optimization
Mechanical manufacturing process parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut are key factors affecting product precision, quality, and production efficiency. Traditional process parameter setting often relies on the worker’s experience and skills, making accuracy and consistency difficult to guarantee. The application of advanced manufacturing technologies provides new technical means for optimizing process parameters.
Manufacturing Process Innovation
Faced with increasingly fierce market competition, machinery manufacturing companies need to seek new profit growth points through manufacturing process innovation, the introduction of advanced technologies, and the development of high-value-added products. Companies should focus on overcoming common technical challenges in areas such as new materials and precision machining, and master key technologies with independent intellectual property rights, such as additive manufacturing and high-energy beam processing.
Quality Management Improvement
Quality is the lifeline of machinery manufacturing. While advanced manufacturing technologies improve production efficiency and flexibility, they also place higher demands on quality management. Machinery manufacturing companies should adhere to the “quality first” philosophy, integrating advanced quality management methods with advanced manufacturing technologies to build a comprehensive quality management system.
Talent team building
Faced with the new demands placed on employees by advanced manufacturing technologies, machinery manufacturing companies need to accelerate the development of their talent pool, cultivating employees with interdisciplinary skills and both technical and management capabilities. Companies should implement vocational training programs that integrate online and offline learning, emphasizing both theoretical and practical skills, through corporate universities and online platforms, to enhance employees’ information literacy and technical skills.
Conclusion
To improve manufacturing efficiency and product quality, and enhance market competitiveness, machinery manufacturing companies must adapt to the trend of intelligent manufacturing, deeply integrate advanced manufacturing technologies with traditional processes, and promote the digitalization and intelligent upgrading of processes. Through intelligent transformation, process optimization, technological innovation, and talent development, my country’s machinery manufacturing industry will move towards the mid-to-high end, contributing to the construction of a manufacturing powerhouse.
