(Reporter Sun Xiao Beilun District Committee Reporting Group Zhi Mingfei) "With the resumption of the automotive supply chain around Shanghai, the company's production line is currently operating at full capacity." The day before yesterday, Ningbo Xusheng Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. told reporters that the accelerated pace of enterprise automation, intelligence and digitization has not only incubated new business models, but also stimulated more innovation. At the end of last month, the company designed the lightweight automobile chassis steering knuckle to complete the actual delivery, to achieve the weight of a single component to reduce about 30%, effectively filling the domestic gap in this area.
It is reported that the company is committed to becoming a global leader in the field of new energy lightweight automotive, after nearly 30 years of development, has achieved aluminum die casting, aluminum forging, aluminum extrusion three major process integration, products involved in new energy automotive powertrain system, electronic control system, battery system, chassis system and body system, etc., and has successfully constructed a global R & D and sales system.
Walking into the No. 6 intelligent factory of Ningbo Xusheng Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. in Beilun, the reporter saw workers working seriously on the automatic production line in the digital workshop with a constant temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius all year round. The relevant person in charge of the company said that the company's sales have grown rapidly this year, and the second quarter is expected to continue to maintain high growth.
Epidemic prevention and control of the normalization of the background, the enterprise on the one hand, always pay attention to the industry chain upstream and downstream enterprises of the production and supply situation, the production plan and delivery cycle to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that the normal production is not line; on the other hand, adhere to scientific and technological innovation, and constantly improve the research and development capabilities, mastering the core technology, looking for new growth points.
According to statistics, every 10% drop in car weight, the fuel car fuel consumption by 8%, emissions by 4%, electric car range growth of 14%. But lightweight to pay the price: lightweight metal materials more expensive, more complex production process, maintenance costs are also higher. The development of a new technology for lightweight die-casting provides a low-cost, high-efficiency way to achieve. In April this year, Ningbo Xusheng Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. technology department successfully designed lightweight automobile chassis steering knuckle and actually delivered to customers. The steering knuckle products can be customized for customers, the design needs to consider dozens of complex force conditions of the surrounding components, the individual weight from the original 7.7kg to 5.86kg, to achieve the car weight reduction of about 30%, effectively filling the domestic technology gaps.
At the same time, the enterprise independent research and development of aluminum alloy raw materials have far exceeded the domestic standards. "The tensile strength of domestic general material is between 260Mpa and 300Mpa, our material can reach 370Mpa; the yield strength of domestic general material is between 220Mpa and 240Mpa, our material can reach 340Mpa." According to the person in charge of the enterprise's technical department, this technology allows the According to the person in charge of the technical department of the enterprise, this technology allows the pressure-bearing capacity of automobile steering components to be greatly enhanced, and the related materials and design level effectively break the monopoly of foreign technology. Since the technology upgrade, the enterprise has received a number of automobile company orders, the later will be through the product organization tensile, bench test collision and other experiments for further verification, optimization.
