Die and mold industry continues to expand

In recent years, the domestic production of molds has continuously increased. In 2012 alone, the total sales of molds in China reached 137 billion yuan, and imports and exports reached 6.2 billion yuan.

It is understood that in 2012 China's automobile sales volume was 19.31 million, and it continued to maintain its global sales championship. The sale of automobile molds (including tire molds) was approximately 45 billion yuan, accounting for 1/3 of the total sales of molds. Today, China has become a world leader. In mold manufacturing, the automobile mold manufacturing industry has entered the top five in the world. As we all know, the automobile is the leading customer of the mold industry. In recent years, the domestic automobile industry has developed very rapidly. The gap between it and foreign advanced enterprises is also decreasing. It is because of the continuous development of the domestic automobile industry that it has driven the automotive mold industry. development of.

However, there are various problems in the process of development, of which technology is a very important part. From the digital mapping involved in the early stage of mold design, to the mold processing process measurement, repair mold measurement, to the mold acceptance measurement and the later mold repair measurement; from the small electronic size mold to the automotive large and medium-sized molds and large aerospace industry Mold measurement, high-precision measurement equipment everywhere, which puts higher and higher requirements on the measurement equipment of the domestic mold.

It is reported that the measuring equipment used in the current mold quality inspection not only includes the classical fixed high-precision coordinate measuring machine, but also various measuring equipments suitable for on-site application including on-site articulated arm due to the different characteristics of mold making. Measurement equipment, high-efficiency white light measuring machine, large-size laser tracker and other measuring equipment, etc., and meet the detection requirements of mold products through contact and non-contact measurement, image and laser scanning, and photogrammetry detection technologies. It can be seen that the measuring equipment provides a strong guarantee for the development of the automotive mold industry.
