The warehouses of rubber raw materials and scrap steel bars were already full. The newly recruited interns were cutting steel bars as required. When they saw Ji Dong coming, everyone said hello.
"Brother Ji, the mold is pretty good, but isn't it a bit wasteful for us to use electric heating?"
Looking at Ji Donglai holding the steel wheel with iron pliers and inspecting it, Ding Aixing asked in a low voice.
In Ding Aixing's traditional impression, heating these things are all gas or coal. Ji Donglai still has coal burning here, so why not just get a simple boiler over there, put the blower up, and put the iron lump there.
It takes only a matter of minutes to heat the steel bars. Now that electric induction heating is used, the efficiency has gone up, but the cost has also gone up.
The reading on the electric meter was just like pulling with hands. As time passed, Ding Aixing worried that Ji Donglai would not be able to bear the cost.
"We can try it in winter. Burning coal now can easily arouse dissatisfaction from the people around us. Once we are reported, we will easily be kicked out! We are too small in the current situation. We must survive first!"
"The core of industry is nothing more than efficiency. Talking about anything else is superfluous, you know? In the future, if natural gas is connected here, we can pull a pipe over here, and then our costs will be reduced! That's it now Go ahead, and make sure our people pay attention to their safety!"
"Nine out of ten stamping jobs are perfect. We are all young. I don't want this to happen when you are not married. What's more, I don't have any money to compensate you. Do you understand?"
A large stamping machine is a pair of big scissors that can crush anything placed under it into cakes. Ever since this machine was rented, the most important thing Ji Dong said was safety.
Ji Donglai also had a headache with those vulcanizing machines. Except for one transfer machine, the rest were coal-burning machines. Ji Donglai would never buy this crap if he had some money.
We are still short of money now, otherwise Ji Donglai would definitely change it.
Many things are easy to say, but not so easy to do.
Now Ji Donglai can only buy the rubber raw materials refined by others, and the cost is still relatively high. Only in the later stage can he control everything from the source to the finished product in his own hands, Ji Donglai can control the cost.
Nowadays, the price of polyurethane A material obtained from outside is not low. Fortunately, the other party is doing it for Sver's sake, otherwise no one would agree to provide Ji Donglai with the original refined A glue.
The other party can earn more by contracting work and materials, and there is no need to worry about waste materials.
"Buzz!"
Lathe Lao Zhao also started uninterrupted work at this time, because Ji Dong was doing fine blanking, and the product shape consistency was very good, and the clamping was very fast. The threaded inner holes were almost all made with one cut, and occasionally there were two The knife's product is also defective.
"Boss, this thing is best made with CNC. It only requires one knife adjustment and can be done in minutes. The efficiency of our work is average!"
Ji Donglai came over to check the size of the product, and Lao Zhao also stopped what he was doing and handed Ji Donglai a cigarette.
"Do you know CNC?"
First, he lit a cigarette for Lao Zhao, and then Ji Donglai smacked his mouth.
"Yes, I used to do CNC before I left that old factory, and I taught my apprentices to kick me out!"
When talking about his previous work experience, Lao Zhao felt depressed.
In the past, Lao Zhao's boss was also a private owner. He seemed to be a very nice person. Occasionally, he would give Lao Zhao some clothes that he usually wore. Of course, they were leftovers from the boss.
Later, the boss brought his nephew over and asked Lao Zhao to take care of him. Lao Zhao did not doubt that he was there, but after the teaching was over, the boss immediately found a small matter, no matter how small, to punish Lao Zhao.
It is precisely because of this that when Lao Zhao came to Jidong to work here, he only did general work and never taught anyone the techniques. Of course, there are very few people who can learn general engineering skills now.
"Okay, you come with me!"
Ji Donglai didn't think much and took Lao Zhao directly to the Panasonic Park. In front of him was a row of machine tools, all CNC machine tools.
"Boss, this is great! Yamazaki Mazak, it's a hydraulic chuck. I can increase my efficiency by more than half..."
Looking at the all-white CNC machine tools, Lao Zhao's eyes shone, as if he had returned to his apprenticeship. Ji Donglai nodded and called the monitor here.
"From now on, Old Master Zhao will lead the machine tools here. You can do whatever is arranged for you. Don't have any feelings of rejection! If Manager Lu comes over, tell me that I arranged it!"
"Master Zhao, just give me some guidance here. Our construction period is tight. Just look at the arrangements. This is a long-term job! You can make the program, or I can make it. We can do it! The processing over there If you want to learn in the center, you can come to me, it’s all our own business!”
"I will calculate your salary again, based on CNC salary! If you train the students in this workshop, I will calculate it for you based on the director's salary! In short, I want the output, and you can also serve as the machine shop over there. , I’ll also calculate the money for you!”
For workers with tragic experiences like Lao Zhao, Ji Donglai treats them differently and tries not to let them worry too much about him.
Lao Zhao nodded vigorously. In the past, there was no salary for taking apprentices, but now Ji Dong comes to give money, which proves that he is a sensible person.
Three wages, even if I leave in the future, I will be willing to do so.
"Master, don't worry, there is one person who can't do it, I'll cut off my fingers! These kids are not as black as those people, we understand!"
Many times, the ability to make money is much better than those bullshit promises. In minutes, Lao Zhao has started working.
Ji Donglai asked Liu Yupeng to arrange a vehicle to pull the semi-finished wheels from the factory and machine them directly at the Panasonic campus.
With the CNC machining of the inner hole, the diameter tolerances are almost the same. Ji Donglai simply modified the center size of the forming mold, which made positioning easier.
The next night, Ji Donglai started molding the guide wheel. As the vulcanizer slowly lowered, the product was directly opened in the mold in seven minutes.
"Okay, just follow this! Insert all the mold cavities, give the removed pieces to Master Zhao, and let him continue to open the mold!"
This time, Ji Dong made the guide wheel molds with plug-in cavities. After all, polyurethane is not all rubber, so the molding speed is much faster!
In addition, it is much faster to modify the mold in this way. The people working here are young students, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, and their maintenance of the mold is beyond ordinary people.
One mold has forty-eight cavities, one mold takes seven minutes, and the output is more than 10,000 per day.
For adhesive spraying, in the future, a hollow polished rod will be used to thread the center of all the skeletons and place them in the yard. Gears will be installed on the heads, driven by chains next to them, and driven by a reducer bought from the scrap station.
