Problems and solutions in my country's textile equipment market in 2015

There are too few powerful textile equipment manufacturing enterprises. The textile equipment manufacturing industry is only a small part of the large textile industry, with an annual sales volume of only four or five billion. Because the production characteristics of textile instruments are small batches, many varieties, low added value, and technical difficulties are relatively high; therefore, there are not many companies invested, resulting in a lack of funds in the entire industry and slow technological development. The entire industry lacks unified management. After the former Ministry of Textiles was revoked, the metrological verification procedures and calibration specifications to standardize the quality of instruments have been in the“Manage blanks”status. Not only the new instruments lack verification procedures and calibration specifications, but also the original standards and procedures are outdated and urgently need to be formulated, revised or abolished. At present, the formulation or revision of standards, regulations and calibration specifications for textile instruments are mostly spontaneous, and there is no financial support from the upper management department. In this extremely difficult situation, in 2003, the national textile measurement station reported“Electronic Fabric Strength Machine Verification Regulations”, After several companies raised funds, it took two years to complete the formulation of the regulations. newly formulated“Electronic Fabric Strength Machine Verification Regulations”, made a historic breakthrough in the dynamic performance verification of the strength meter, and the paper 'Analysis and Verification Method of Dynamic Characteristics of Textile Electronic Strength Meter' with the theme of this core content won the second prize of the 8th Chen Weiji Excellent Paper Award; The regulations have not yet been officially approved and released, which has greatly hurt the enthusiasm of the majority of metrology workers. Disordered market competition Although my country's textile industry has developed rapidly, the growth in the total demand for textile equipment is not very large; however, domestic textile equipment manufacturers have increased a lot, many of which are separated from the original larger textile equipment factories. In the new factory, most of the products are duplicated with the original factory, and there is not enough manpower and material resources to invest in the development and development of innovative instruments, so there is only a price war. The result is: disordered market competition leads to continuous decline in product prices, which in turn causes product costs to drop again and again, and it is difficult to guarantee quality and after-sales service. This not only does not help the healthy development of domestic instruments, but also directly damages the interests of the majority of users. At present, some companies are struggling, and some companies are looking for other products to make a living, and there is a tendency to reshuffle. Perhaps, after the reorganization in the storm of the market economy, there will be good products with high quality and good price. The price restricts the improvement of the quality of the instruments. The low-price competition of domestic instruments leads to insufficient funds and poor technological innovation capabilities of textile instrument manufacturers. Too little investment in new product development, insufficient human and material investment, and no theoretical research in many aspects. , the phenomenon of imitation abroad or mutual imitation is serious, and the key technology is difficult to break through. The development of domestic textile instruments in high-end products is still a long way to go. Several suggestions for the development of domestic textile instruments. Pay attention to basic research on application. In recent years, there has been great development in textile materials, textile technology, and textile machinery. a lot of space. Such as: high-speed single yarn strength tester, photoelectric evenness tester, photoelectric cloth inspection machine, foreign fiber removal technology, etc. It is strongly recommended that textile colleges, scientific research institutes and qualified textile equipment manufacturers attach importance to directional test theory research, develop leading instruments with independent intellectual property rights in a certain testing field, improve the quality of featured products, and strive to reach the international advanced level , to improve the level of domestic textile equipment. Even if it is digesting and absorbing advanced technology, it should pay attention to theoretically researching it thoroughly, in order to improve and innovate on its basis. Vigorously developing textile instruments with independent intellectual property rights requires strong support from all aspects including government departments. Taking a large number of high-capacity cotton testing systems (HVI) in the current system reform of the national cotton circulation field as an example, Changling Spinning Power has successfully developed a large-capacity cotton testing system XI120 several years ago, and further improved it on this basis. Supported by the National Fiber Inspection Department. We expect that the domestic large-capacity cotton testing system will be popularized in the domestic cotton circulation field as soon as possible. In addition, the research on the instrument should not be limited to the instrument itself, and the research on the application of the instrument should be included in the whole research and promotion process. The well-known Uster Statistical Bulletin has set a good example for our instrument manufacturing industry. Strengthening the formulation and revision of metrological verification regulations and calibration specifications plays an important role in the manufacture, calibration and use of textile instruments. Without verification procedures, calibration specifications or even imperfections, it will not only cause confusion in the value, but also cause confusion in the textile instrument market. For example, due to the imperfect requirements and verification methods of dynamic characteristics in the metrological verification procedures of the electronic single-yarn strength machine, some electronic single-yarn strength machines are qualified according to the metrological verification procedures. The breaking strength of the stretched yarn is very different, and the breaking strength of the stretched yarn at high speed and low speed is less than tens of percentage points. Obviously, the dynamic characteristics are too poor; therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the formulation and revision of metrological verification procedures and calibration specifications. .
