subject: Japan Downturn In The Industry To Develop Mold - Molds, Dies In Japan - Hc Network Hardware Industry [print this page] Due to the global Financial Turmoil, particularly Mold The use of large Car Industry and semiconductor industry, the impact of recession, the Japanese die industry in January 2009 compared with last year's output down 13.9%. Currently, many enterprises in the best years of their orders only 20% when 40% and many factories underemployed, working for just a week 3 to 4 days, some have closed down, the monthly decrease in the number of enterprises.
Many years, the Japanese die industry has maintained a world power and die mold power status, peak in 1998 when its total output of domestic mold to 1.8954 trillion yen. However, the 10 years since then, while the annual output value up or down, but the overall situation is stagnant, has also not been restored or exceeded the level of 1998, and mold manufacturers were also gradually reduced the number of trend.
The face of this situation, Japan is very worried about mold sector brain drain, particularly worried about some of the older, experienced talent to go abroad. Japan's brain drain will adversely the future development of the industry, how to actively respond to the current difficulties, mold industry in Japan has become a major issue. Japanese die industry and even government departments, its tooling industry in the future direction of development have had a lot to consider.
From the civil point of view, Japan has proposed the development direction of the following six main areas, each area of planning are informative in China can learn from.
As much as possible to adopt new technology, enhance digital and information level;
Open up new areas of mold used, such as the new Energy , New materials and medical, aerospace and other fields;
Extend mold industry chain; Conduct diversification; Update their knowledge; Well developed and Combination. At the government level, the Japanese Ministry of Economy has organized a "prime-shaped wood technology strategy research committee", and was recently published guide to the nature of belonging to the "prime-shaped wood technology strategy." The objective of the implementation of this technology strategy is very clear, that is "shaped by material key technical elements to grasp, to seize the lifeline of the world manufacturing industry."
The technology strategy of industry, issued a 6 344 key technology development project guide, which involves the mold 47. Meanwhile in other related areas with the mold ( Casting , Forging, stamping, powder Metallurgy , Heat treatment and Surface Treatment ) Project 25. The total of 72 key technology development projects, both in Japan stamping parts for the future direction of services.
Japanese mold the future direction of formed parts is summarized as: thin, light weight; no defects, high intensity; excellent surface properties and appearance quality; the overall shape and precision forming. Of course, fast delivery, cost, highly automated and green manufacturing is still mold the requirements that must be followed.
Based on this, mold technology features of the future will be: do not rely on the skills you can develop a good mold design and production technology; highly automated mold production technology; can save mold test mold engineering technology; can cross over the short term die technology goods. All these are worthy China Die & Mould industry research.
