Helping excavator manufacturers break through production capacity bottlenecks

Solutions

1. Customized Production Guarantee: Upon receiving the customer's drawings, Yuezhong Machinery immediately assembled a dedicated team to complete the process design and mold selection within 24 hours. Utilizing a mature sand casting production line combined with automated slurry application and sand-spraying equipment, the production cycle for a single piece was reduced from the industry average of 5 days to 3 days.

2. Rapid Capacity Expansion: A flexible production plan was activated, temporarily allocating two production lines to prioritize the production of this component. By optimizing scheduling and process connections, daily capacity was increased from the usual 8 pieces to 12 pieces, precisely matching the customer's assembly schedule.

3. Collaborative Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement: The technical team collaborated deeply with the customer's R&D department, proposing an optimization that changed the original 3-piece welded assembly structure to an integrated casting. This not only reduced the customer's subsequent machining processes but also lowered the rework rate due to welding defects, resulting in a 12% reduction in the overall cost per piece.

Project Results

- The first sample was delivered in just 7 days, and full-capacity mass production was achieved within 20 days, with no delivery delays throughout the entire process, ensuring on-time delivery of the customer's order.

- The integrated casting improvement solution has been highly recognized by customers and has been incorporated into the standard design of their new generation of excavators, resulting in a 50% increase in cooperative orders compared to the initial stage.
