The Present Situation and Development of my country's Textile Instrument Manufacturing Industry

my country is the world's largest consumer of textile raw materials and the largest textile producer. Whether it is now or in the future, it must be the world's largest textile machinery and testing-equipment' target='_blank'>textile instrument market, and there must be fierce market competition. Since the 1980s, my country's textile instruments and textile machine monitoring equipment have developed by leaps and bounds, which can basically meet the needs of my country's textile industry development. Due to the advantages of low price and convenient maintenance, domestic instruments have been widely used by textile enterprises, so the production capacity has been continuously expanded, the varieties have been continuously improved, and a certain scale has been formed. First, the basic situation of textile equipment manufacturing 1. The development history of textile equipment my country's textile equipment manufacturing industry has a long history, dating back to the 1940s. In the 1980s, the Ministry of Textile Industry built six or seven designated textile instrument manufacturing plants, an instrument research and development base, and a textile instrument testing center, and established nearly 20 provincial-level textile measuring stations across the country, initially forming textile instruments. Development, manufacturing, testing and maintenance systems; however, at that time only low-end mechanical instruments were the mainstay. Since the reform and opening up, driven by the market economy, the textile equipment manufacturing industry has developed rapidly. The participation of some military, private and high-tech enterprises has promoted the improvement of the design and manufacturing level of my country's textile equipment, and the products have gradually transitioned to electronic products. It is computerized and computerized, and the varieties almost include all kinds of instruments needed by the textile industry. In terms of the number of products, the world's largest textile equipment manufacturing industry has been formed, and textile equipment not only no longer depends on imports, but also exported to foreign countries. 2. Domestic textile equipment manufacturing enterprises At present, most of my country's textile equipment manufacturing enterprises are joint-stock enterprises and private enterprises, including large and medium-sized enterprises transformed from military enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises evolved from factories designated by the Ministry of Textiles in the past, and 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. 3. 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. Second, the main textile equipment 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 processing of each process in the complex and multi-link process. Inspection and monitoring, quality inspection and quality control of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products. 1. Fiber testing instrument Fiber performance testing 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.

These textile testing equipment tensile tester manufacturers are meant to serve as a guide for business owners on how to both identify potential opportunities for transformative innovation and how to adapt to the constantly changing technologies of today.
