As an important basis for the level of mold technology, to a large extent determine the quality of products, benefits and the development of new products, has become a recognized country to measure the level of manufacturing an important indicator of the level. Data show that: 1996 to 2002, China's mold manufacturing output value of the average annual growth of about 14% in 2003, an increase of 25%, reaching 45 billion yuan or more, equivalent to more than 50 billion US dollars, according to the total mold rank , Followed by Japan, the United States thereafter, ranking third in the world. In 2003 the domestic mold exports 33.68 million US dollars, an increase of 33.5% over the previous year, so some experts said: "The mold market situation is very gratifying, very good prospects.
Recently, China's mold industry-related issues, an exclusive interview with China Die & Mold Industry Association executive vice president and secretary general Cao Yanan.
CMN Reporter: In recent years, China's rapid development of the mold industry, whether the status of the mold industry to make a brief introduction? (Large supply) mold parts thimble, Secretary tube, flat tip, guide post, guide sleeve, PIN pin, needle, date stamp, positioning block
Cao Yanan: China's rapid development of mold industry, mainly due to strong demand in recent years driven by the market. Because of the broad market, it appears that both production and sales situation.
Mold is used for metal and non-metallic forming a process equipment, in our country is divided into 10 categories, 46 categories. At present, China's mold enterprises and mold workshop, die factory a total of more than 20,000 enterprises. Which is relatively concentrated in southern China and East China, accounting for the country's mold manufacturing output and sales of two-thirds. Although the total amount of mold production in China has a considerable scale, but the task of restructuring the product mold is also very heavy.
In general, China's low-tech mold has oversupply, narrow market margins, and high technical content, sophisticated and sophisticated mold is also far from meeting the needs of national economic development. And the domestic division of the mold is not specialized division of labor, business coordination between organizations is not enough and other issues also restricts the development of China's mold industry. Nowadays, there are still a large number of high-grade molds, such as stamping dies, plastic molds and car cover dies, which rely on imports. The past five years, China's average annual imports of about 1.12 billion US dollars die, this does not include the equipment and production lines as an annex to bring in the mold. 2003 on imports of nearly 1.37 billion US dollars of the mold. Therefore, the domestic mold industry development space is very large, but also accompanied by a huge challenge.
CMN: In view of China's mold industry in the development of regional imbalances, how do you think the mold industry to promote the development of central and western regions, in an effort to narrow the gap with developed areas?
Cao Yanan: In fact, many parts of the Midwest has been aware of the development of mold manufacturing enterprises an important role in the manufacturing sector. Such as Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hebei and other mold manufacturing enterprises of the scale of production, technical level has been greatly improved. Hebei Xinglin Body Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. as a key enterprise in Hebei Botou led a mold enterprise development; Sichuan Wuliangye Group Pashi Mold Co., Ltd. with a strong capital investment, a high starting point, promising development prospects.
To promote the development of mold industry in the Midwest, the first is to vigorously promote the reform of state-owned enterprises, the use of these enterprises based on mold, mold shop, die factory in a short time, through mechanism transformation, To the market, to achieve social production, the activation of the stock of assets, which is a great wealth. The second is to actively encourage the development of private enterprises, improve the degree of specialization of mold enterprises, regional cooperation in the mold supporting the ability to continuously improve, improving. Only to enter the market to improve the ability to support, in order to rejuvenate the youth, showing vitality; regional mold production capacity to improve collaboration, to make the mold industry to seek long-term development.
CMN Reporter: mold the most prominent features and advantages of what? (Large supply) mold parts thimble, Secretary tube, flat tip, guide post, guide sleeve, PIN pin, needle, date stamp, positioning block
Cao Yanan: mold for the production of products and services, is a single piece of production, personalized equipment is very strong products. Development to today, the modern high-tech features of the mold has become increasingly evident, which is the high-tech equipment and well-developed software are inseparable.
CMN Reporter: You just mentioned the concept of modern mold, which is the traditional mold industry, what are the qualitative difference?
Cao Yanan: the traditional sense of the mold industry, mainly to the experienced fitter master-oriented production technology. The modern mold industry has undergone a qualitative change, has become a technology-intensive, investment-intensive industries, processing equipment industry is an important part. As the high-tech features of mold products, mold companies only use sophisticated automated numerical control technology, advanced CAE, CAD, CAM and other software to ensure that its process requirements. The high accuracy, high complexity, high consistency, high productivity and low consumption of the parts produced by molds can not be compared with the traditional methods of manufacturing and manufacturing. Because the use of information technology and numerical control technology, but also makes the threshold of industrial production into the modern mold greatly improved.
Modern mold industry has been an important area of high-tech industrialization, is an indispensable tool for production equipment. One of the precision molds die industry has become a high-tech products with each other and rely on the industry.
CMN Reporter: So, the future of the domestic mold industry will focus on what kind of mold products?
Cao Yanan: With the national economy and the continuous development of industrial products and technologies, the industry demand for more and more mold, the technical requirements are getting higher and higher, the focus of mold product development should be a high technological content, and the current Has a certain basis, conditional, may be developed. Mainly automotive die covers, precision stamping dies, large precision plastic molds, the main standard molds and other high-tech molds.
This is one of the automotive panel die (mainly stamping die) of the task is very important. Currently in the field, the domestic level of the mold is not high, lack of capacity, production cycle is longer, to meet the rate of only about half. Today, the domestic high-end car cover molds rely mainly on imports, spending hundreds of millions of dollars each year, accounting for more than 1/4 of the value of imports.

CMN Reporter: For the mold industry, the state has any relevant policies to support?
Cao Yanan: the state has always attached great importance to the development of the mold industry. Mold industry is a heavy industry based on VAT, according to the State Administration of Taxation of more than 10,000 industrial enterprises turnover tax average rate of the statistics, the mold industry higher than other industries by 5.07 percentage points, which is a high investment in modern mold industry The characteristics of very uncoordinated, greatly restricted the mold industry. In this regard, the state has taken a variety of measures to give strong support, one of the most powerful is a policy from 1997 to 2005 period, part of the country's key professional mold manufacturers to implement 70% of the preferential VAT refund policy. Which effectively promoted the mold industry.
The world's advanced mold manufacturing countries have preferential policies to support the development of their own mold. Now, our country is further research, consider the proposed introduction of some of the relevant departments of the new preferential policies to further promote the mold industry.
CMN Reporter: From the perspective of the modern mold industry, how to further promote the mold industrial technology? China mold industry development prospects and how?
Cao Yanan: To further promote the mold industry, technological progress, the key is to use information technology to promote and enhance the mold manufacturing technology level.
Today, CAD / CAE / CAM computer-aided technology in the mold industry has been more widely used. Rapid prototyping manufacturing technology, precision and efficient CNC machining equipment, such as five-axis machine tools, high-speed milling, as well as ultra-precision machining tools are also used for a large number of mold processing. At present, the focus of mold processing technology is the non-graphic production, single-piece high-precision parallel processing, few people or unmanned processing and implementation of the principle of only installed less worthy of repair. Reverse engineering, concurrent engineering, agile engineering, virtual technology and other advanced manufacturing technology in the mold industry is also more common.

At present, the international manufacturing industry is undergoing industrial restructuring, part of the industry is also being transferred to China, this is because we both have a good industrial base, but also a certain degree of labor advantage. This is our integration into the world economic family, the development of domestic mold industry is a good opportunity, of course, there are challenges. As long as our policy on the right, the right guide, a reasonable development, a few years after the domestic mold industry will not only have a new increase in the amount, there will be a qualitative leap. At that time, is bound to be another turn of prosperity.
