China's mold industry is accelerating to catch up with the developed countries

Die & mould industry association data show, in 2009 China mold import and export amount of $3807000000, compared to 2008 decreased by 3.03%. The imports amounted to $1964000000, 2% less than in 2008; exports amounted to $1843000000, 4.11% less than in 2008. It is understood, the mould is an important technical equipment parts forming process, is an important basic equipment car, motorcycle, electric appliances, IT products, office automation equipment, light industrial products, medical equipment and other manufacturing industries. The molded products of high precision, good consistency, beautiful appearance, so it is more and more used in structure and interior manufacture aircraft, ships and other equipment of high speed train. In addition to the production process can realize the high-efficient, mass and material, energy saving, so the mold is often known as the "mother of the modern industrial production". The level of mold technology has become an important symbol to measure a country's level of manufacturing industry, the core competitiveness is to maintain the country's products in the international market advantage.
"China's mold industry in 2009 to achieve 3% growth, sales reached 98000000000 yuan." China mould industry association secretary general Wu Shu revealed. Wu Bingshu also said, in general, China mold industry with the developed countries there is a gap between 10 ~ 15 years, still want to keep one's head above water, gas chase dreams, to die.
China Mould Industry Association figures show that, as of now, our country has formed in Kunshan, Wuxi precision mold industry cluster production base; Botou, Wuhu automobile die industry cluster production base; Ningbo, Huangyan, Shenzhen, Dongguan, precision mold industry cluster production base. Mold product structure more reasonable. The structure proportion of our current stamping die mold in the proportion of about 37%, accounting for about 43% of plastic mold, die casting (including die) is about 10%, die, tire mold, glass mold and other mold accounted for 10%, which is consistent with the developed industrial countries die percentage.
At the same time, a number of domestic mold production capacity and technical level has been greatly improved. The mold industry leading enterprises have emerged in the development of (such as 4 large enterprises; automobile cover mould large plastic mould has Haier, Warwick, Kunda precision stamping die; with Guo Sheng, the Chinese rich; tire mold, casting mold has the heroic; FAW Foundry, Ningbo Heli, Guangzhou cavity, Beilun Hui Wang; precision plastic mold has only Division (Xiamen), Ningbo, Henghe etc.) played a leading role in the progress of the industry.
Enterprise equipment level is improving, widespread use of the NC machine tools, CAD / CAM processing center, forming process simulation technology is gradually being used. Enterprise development, innovation ability improved, new technology promotion and application. Such as the development and application of 3D design technology, development and application of information management technology, double (color) development and application of injection molding technology, research and development and application of high gloss traceless injection technology, to develop the application of molding technology, plastic steel products, high strength, thick plate welding plate stamping technology, technology, research and application of nitrogen spring and so on forming of high strength sheet hot forming.
Die level of a substantial increase, high levels of mold to large-scale, precision, complex, long life mold as the representative of the proportion reached more than 35%, as has been able to produce B level vehicle die of automobile cover mould; precision mold processing precision can reach 0.5 micron; precision progressive die can be used in high speed punch 2000 ~ 2500 times per minute or more; plastic mold precision reaches micron level, to adapt to the development of IT industry needs; a single set of weights up to 120 tons, 4 meters in diameter of the tire mold has become one of the most large-scale mould.
Wu Bing book emphasizes, compared with developed countries, China's mold industry is still a large gap, mainly because China is still in the global industrial chain in the low-end products division, is low, so is the die and mould industry.
