On the morning of February 18th, the New Productivity Achievement Transformation Press Conference in the SCO New Area was held at the Shandong-Hong Kong Science and Innovation Center in the SCO Demonstration Zone. Qingdao Haoyuan Yiyou Forging Machinery Co., Ltd. and Nanjing Liyuan Rail Transit Equipment Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement.
"The technical parameters of the GM-12500 equipment have reached the international leading level. This signing will accelerate the large-scale application of domestic high-end forging equipment in the rail transit field and set a benchmark for collaborative innovation in the industry," said Song Zhongping, the deputy secretary-general of the China Forging and Pressing Association, who was invited to witness the event at the scene.
The GM-12500 equipment is a high-energy screw press, a forging equipment for producing high-precision forgings. It is reported that the release of this equipment fills the technical gap of domestic ultra-large precision forging equipment.
"Our press uses the internationally leading clutch-type screw drive technology. Compared with domestic presses of the same level, it reduces energy consumption by 40%, improves the striking efficiency by 1.5 times, and has an intelligent remote monitoring function, which can greatly improve product consistency and production stability," said Song Dachen, the general manager of Qingdao Haoyuan Yiyou Forging Machinery Co., Ltd.
The achievements are inseparable from the solid industrial foundation. Jiaozhou is an important industrial agglomeration area for die forging equipment in China, covering the upstream, midstream, and downstream fields such as parts casting and processing, electrical and automation, complete machine manufacturing, and forging. The industrial chain is complete. In particular, the market share of advanced forging equipment such as hot die forging presses and electric screw presses accounts for half of the country. Among them, the market share of heavy screw presses has ranked first in the country for many consecutive years, reaching more than 80%. As of the end of 2023, there were 8 above-scale forging enterprises in Jiaozhou, and the annual output value of the forging industry in Jiaozhou exceeded 2 billion yuan.
"This cooperation will break the foreign technology monopoly and help China's high-end equipment manufacturing such as high-speed railways and heavy-haul trains achieve self-control," said Fu Xiangrong, the chairman of Nanjing Liyuan Rail Transit Equipment Co., Ltd.
It is understood that as an important carrier of Qingdao's "10 1" innovative industrial system, Jiaozhou has always aimed at the goal of "building an advanced manufacturing highland in the SCO New Area", adhered to empowering industrial upgrading with scientific and technological innovation, and activating development potential through open cooperation. In recent years, relying on the Qingdao Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment Industrial Park, it has deepened collaborative innovation with scientific research institutes and industry leading enterprises, and promoted the in-depth integration of the industrial chain, innovation chain, and talent chain. In the forging machinery industry, it has fully linked up with "national team" resources such as the China Forging and Pressing Association and the Beijing Research Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Technology, given full play to the advantages of the forging machinery industry in Jiaozhou, attracted industrial application cooperation enterprises, and formed a closed-loop ecosystem of "R
