Current Situation and Distribution of Textile Instrument Market in my country

Domestic textile equipment manufacturing enterprises At present, most of my country's textile equipment manufacturing industries are joint-stock enterprises and private enterprises, including large and medium-sized enterprises transformed from military enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises evolved from the past designated factories of the Ministry of Textiles, and existing enterprises. New joint-stock enterprises with a history of more than ten years, these enterprises cooperate with research institutes (institutions), colleges and universities and other research and development units, and have become the backbone of the textile equipment manufacturing industry. The scale and R&D capabilities of textile instrument manufacturing enterprises are quite different: large-scale enterprises have as many as four or five hundred people, annual sales can reach more than 200 million, and have strong independent research and development capabilities; medium-sized enterprises generally have one or two hundred people. , with annual sales of about 10 to 20 million yuan, most of which have certain R&D capabilities; most companies have less than 50 employees, or even a few people, with annual sales ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million yuan, and their R&D capabilities are relatively high. weak. The popularization and application of domestic textile instrument computer and electrical measurement technology shortens the research and development cycle of the instrument and improves the grade of the instrument. The variety of textile instruments has been continuously improved. Most of the test instruments required by various industries and processes from fiber, yarn, weaving, printing and dyeing, finishing, clothing and even large textiles can be produced in China. Some conventional instruments, especially those for yarn testing, have fully met the needs of the development of my country's textile industry, completely replacing imports, and some have reached the international advanced level. Although the grades of domestic textile instruments are constantly improving, they are still mainly general-purpose and low-end instruments, and only a few factories can produce high-end instruments. The overall level of domestic textile instruments, such as appearance and quality, is not as good as that of foreign advanced products. On the other hand, the level of my country's textile equipment manufacturing industry lags behind other industries. Old-fashioned textile instrument manufacturing enterprises have poor returns, and even closed down or changed their businesses; the products of emerging enterprises are mostly concentrated in some conventional and low-end instruments with low investment and large sales volume. In the long run, not only can it not change the backward situation of textile equipment, but also cannot meet the needs of high-end equipment for the development of the textile industry. The price of domestic textile instruments is far lower than that of imported instruments. In addition, due to the limited manufacturing level, foreign instrument manufacturers have little interest in China's low-end and general-purpose instrument markets. In the Chinese market, they mainly promote high-end instruments, especially chemical fiber testing instruments. The textile industry has a long process from fiber raw materials to spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing or other finished products. In order to control and improve product quality, it is necessary to conduct online detection and monitoring of each process in the complex and multi-link process. Quality inspection and quality control of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products. Distribution of textile instruments: The testing of fiber properties of fiber testing instruments is a difficult aspect in the field of textile testing technology. Domestic fiber instruments have a long history, from the early manual, slow, single-index instruments to the current large-capacity testing systems, from cotton fiber and wool fiber quality testing instruments to hemp fiber, cashmere, chemical fiber and other test equipment. But overall, the degree of automation of the instrument is relatively backward, and many testing mechanisms need to be further studied. The cotton fiber high-capacity testing system is a representative of high-end instruments in the field of fiber testing, and it marks the manufacturing level of a country's textile instruments. Internationally, USTER HVI, a Swiss company, is represented, and India's PREMIER and Israel have this product. After several years of hard work, my country has developed the XI120 fast cotton fiber performance tester, which can give the cotton fiber length, length uniformity, specific strength, elongation, micronaire value, color, surface leaf debris, The performance of 16 indicators such as moisture regain is comparable to that of Swiss USTER HVI, marking that my country's spinning machine level has entered the international advanced ranks. Others can simultaneously test the cotton fiber fineness and maturity index of the secondary compression type cotton fiber fineness instrument, the use of photoelectric detection technology and image processing technology developed wool fineness instrument, CSIRO type tuft length, strength testing system , flax fiber testing series of instruments, fully automatic fiber filament crimp rate tester, etc. have also been developed in China, but the overall level of fiber instruments is still relatively backward. Yarn testing instruments The varieties of yarn testing instruments are very complete, such as capacitive evenness tester, photoelectric evenness tester, automatic single yarn strength tester, yarn defect classifier, twist tester, hairiness tester, count scale, etc. Some have reached the international advanced level. The CT2000 automatic evenness tester can automatically test the evenness, hairiness and other indicators of 20 bobbins of yarn, and can use the expert analysis and diagnosis system to evaluate the test results, and point out equipment failure parts and defects in process parameter settings; CTloOO yarn appearance The analyzer uses a high-speed CCD camera to detect the diameter of the yarn from mutually perpendicular directions, and gives the average diameter, unevenness, ovality, defects and other indicators.And simulate the blackboard evenness and the simulated fabric effect, which is of great help for textile enterprises to fully understand the yarn performance. The test performance of both instruments is close to that of similar USTER instruments
