Recently, when walking into the production workshop of Shandong Guanghe Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. located in Gangcheng Economic Development Zone, Jinan City, the machines roared constantly, and technical workers were busy assembling and debugging laser cutting equipment.
Currently, the workshop has about 50 orders in production, and the company has over 100 orders in hand, making the production line very busy.
In the finished product area, brand-new equipment is ready to go and will be delivered to customers around the world.
On the production line, a three-in-one laser flame beveling compound cutting machine is undergoing trial cutting. The “Sky Eye” intelligent system it is equipped with can accurately cut special-shaped boards, and the automatic layout function of remaining materials greatly reduces the material waste rate.
“This is the most advanced model in the country and the main force of our current production.” Wang Ningguang, the company’s general manager, said that the company’s core competitiveness lies in the integrated research and development capabilities of the entire machine. It has currently cooperated with leading upstream companies such as Shanghai Baichu and Shanghai Guanghui for collaborative research and development, so that the technology can be quickly implemented and transformed into product advantages.
In the high-speed cutting area, the demonstration of the second-generation high-speed machine is amazing: the cutting speed of 1mm stainless steel reaches 60 to 70m/min, which is more than twice that of ordinary equipment, and there is no heating, no deformation, and no burrs.
Carbon fiber beams replace traditional aluminum alloy beams. Their lightweight and high-strength characteristics give the equipment full advantages in high-speed and high-precision fields.
The pipe cutting machine area has realized full process automation, is unattended 24 hours a day, is compatible with multiple types of pipes, and has four layers of safety protection. A single production line can reduce the number of operators by 3 to 5, and the yield rate has increased to over 99.5%.
In addition to laser cutting equipment, the company’s self-developed teaching-free intelligent welding robot has become the “new favorite” of the workshop.
“This robot does not require complicated programming. Ordinary workers can operate it after simple training. It can be put into production on the same day. It is perfectly suitable for multi-variety and small batch production.” Wang Ningguang said that currently, 10 units of this product have been sold, and the number of orders in hand has exceeded 50 units.
The company has also reached cooperation with Shandong Hi-Speed and Laigang Steel Structure, opening up the local steel structure welding market.
The rapid development of photosynthetic laser is inseparable from the integrated layout of research, production and marketing.
The company has established a R&D team composed of more than 10 technical backbones, including professionals in laser technology, intelligent control, mechanical design and other fields. It has also established a supply chain system with companies such as Honeywell, and cooperated with nearly 30 foreign trade companies. Its products are exported to more than 50 countries and regions around the world, 80% of which are exported to European and American markets.
“We are optimizing production capacity scheduling and ensuring order delivery. In the next three years, we will continue to expand laser cutting machine categories and develop intelligent AI welding technology.” Wang Ningguang said that relying on Steel City’s complete industrial ecology and policy support, the company will continue to focus on innovation to build a leading domestic and foreign laser equipment intelligent manufacturing brand, and let Steel City laser intelligent manufacturing go to the world.
