On the morning of September 16, 2020, at the China International Industry Fair CNC Machine Tool and Metal Processing Exhibition (MWCS) held at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center, the German industrial leader TRUMPF Group held a popular media news Conference.
Mr. Stephan Mayer officially met with the media for the first time as the chairman of TRUMPF China. He started to perform the business of TRUMPF China and Jinfangyuan in July last year. What’s more rare is that he just completed the 14-day quarantine medical observation during the entry on the same day, so he rushed to the CIIF site to participate in the press conference as soon as possible, because the CIIF MWCS exhibition is undoubtedly the most important in China's sheet metal processing machine tool industry. One of the important exhibitions. Under the global new crown epidemic, the Chinese market was the first to recover, and TRUMPF Group naturally values the Chinese market very much. Stephan Mayer said that despite the impact of the global epidemic, TRUMPF still uses 10.5% of its sales for research and development, and the other 10% for infrastructure construction to achieve faster customer response. TRUMPF is a market leader in sheet metal processing equipment and laser technology. Compared with other peers, as a family business, TRUMPF is more independent of external shareholders and banking institutions, and can reinvest as much income as possible into the company's development. . He has repeatedly emphasized that China's market is becoming more and more important. In his mind, TRUMPF Group has regarded China as its second hometown. It can be seen that the decisions of TRUMPF's local management are both powerful and flexible.
Subsequently, Dr. Gang Yang, President of TRUMPF China, introduced TRUMPF China's strategic goals. In recent years, TRUMPF has been increasing its investment in Chinese companies, from 24 million yuan in the 2017/2018 fiscal year to 85 million yuan in the 2019/2020 fiscal year. TRUMPF China has maintained the same frequency of development in the Chinese market. Dr. Yang Gang said, “We are constantly building and upgrading our exhibition halls and application centers, introducing more new technologies and equipment, covering sheet metal and laser processing processes more comprehensively, and providing more professional and more professional services for each process. Efficient products. We have also built a smart sheet metal factory that integrates the concept of Industry 4.0, which not only provides customers with more intuitive and reference solutions, but also vigorously trains customers to make them an industry in their field The best.” In July this year, TRUMPF successfully held a two-day technology expo, demonstrating the brand strength of TRUMPF to customers, allowing more Chinese customers to feel the competitiveness of TRUMPF’s products and the company’s commitment to China. The market is as confident as ever.
TRUMPF's localized R&D and production not only bring more economically efficient products for the Chinese market, but also retain TRUMPF's long-standing requirements for high-quality and innovative technology. In addition, TRUMPF has also realized the localized design and production of laser sources. For example, TruFiber 6000 fiber laser focuses on China's two-dimensional laser cutting market. While meeting customer needs, it also follows European quality standards. In addition to stand-alone products, automated smart manufacturing solutions are also one of the company's core businesses. With the development of the market, more and more flexible production requirements have become the bottleneck of sheet metal processing. In the past mass production process, direct production time accounted for most of the time spent in the entire production process. But now with the continuous reduction of batch size, the proportion of indirect production time is getting higher and higher, thus reducing the profit margin of orders. TRUMPF's TruConnect smart manufacturing solution is a solution to such customer needs. The intelligent stand-alone machine is connected with the automatic loading and unloading device through digital networking to form a targeted production solution, and finally realize the intelligent and lean production of the interconnected chemical factory.
Speaking of localized products, Mr. Gu Yonglin, General Manager of TRUMPF China Machine Tool Department gave a detailed introduction. The first thing I have to mention is TRUMPF's flat laser cutting machine. TRUMPF has been committed to developing laser cutting equipment close to the market, and this time it has brought two works full of sincerity. The first is the new processing equipment TruLaser 1030 BE fiber, which is built for sheet metal workshops and medium and thin plate customers. This product is based on the design concept of the fast classic TruLaser BE, based on high processing stability and reliability. Having a more affordable price is the so-called "small investment, big return". The second model is the TruLaser 3000 fiber, the latest processing equipment for medium and heavy plate processing customers and external processing customers, equipped with TRUMPF 12kW laser. The TruLaser 3000 series has always been the all-rounder of the TRUMPF laser cutting family, and it is also the best choice for high-power processing. TRUMPF TruLaser 3000 has many black technologies suitable for high power, such as storm cutting technology, which allows customers to have higher speed and lower air consumption under the same power, which means that the energy consumption per unit time is less and The output is more. In addition, since the lasers, cutting heads, and all optical components on the equipment are from TRUMPF, the entire optical components can be optimized for high-power or thick plate processing, which can greatly reduce the defect rate of customers. It is worth mentioning that the high dynamic performance of all TRUMPF machine tools is a highlight. This high dynamic performance is not only the positioning speed, positioning acceleration and even cutting speed that everyone sees on daily samples, but the best dynamic performance that can be achieved under stable processing quality and processing accuracy.
In recent years, TRUMPF has begun to expand its sheet metal processing solutions. It is often found from customers that in many cases, higher cutting speeds do not improve the efficiency of the entire production process. In many cases, bending, especially after Welding and grinding workers need to become the bottleneck of processing. In order to help customers break through the bottleneck and improve production efficiency, at this year’s CIIF, TRUMPF brought two new products for the world’s premiere: one is the latest fully automated laser welding equipment TruLaser Weld; the other is the latest fully automated intelligent gas TruArc Weld, the welding protection equipment, compared with the traditional robot gas shielded welding, the biggest advantage of this system is that you can get it in your hand. The device uses a highly integrated collaborative robot from TRUMPF. The customer does not need to hold the robot teach pendant, but directly teaches the robot how to weld. This process often takes only a few minutes to complete, which greatly avoids To solve the problem of long time for traditional welding teaching of existing robots.
At the booth, you can also see a big guy, that is TRUMPF’s world-first laser tube cutting machine TruLaser Tube 3000 fiber. This equipment upholds the long-term reliability that TRUMPF has always had and super high processing accuracy. Production efficiency. What is commendable is that although this equipment basically retains the intelligent technology of all imported models, it still has an exciting price and unique black technology, which escorts the long-term stable processing of the machine tool.
In addition to processing equipment, TRUMPF also brought the latest production management software this time. As a founding member of Industry 4.0, TRUMPF has been committed to the research and development of digitization, automation and intelligence in recent years, and has a certain basic sample customer base all over the world, especially in China. At this exhibition, TRUMPF, as always, demonstrated its digital solution TruTops Fab. This management software can not only display the status of customers’ production equipment, but also manage all aspects from quotation, programming to production and shipment. Process. On this basis, in order to allow customers to more easily understand the status information of each station, and to take into account the variety of on-site processing equipment of many customers, TRUMPF has also developed the latest cloud-based application technology. Through this concise and clear digital product, customers can understand the status of the equipment in real time. This product can not only cover sheet metal blanking and bending processes, but also compatible with other process status monitoring before and after.
Facing the 2020/21 new fiscal year, TRUMPF has begun a good growth trend. TRUMPF China will remain committed to providing customers with high-tech, high-efficiency, and high-quality products and services to help traditional manufacturing companies upgrade!
