Further Deepen Cooperation to Promote Manufacturing Upgrade

Under the new normal, China's related industries are facing new opportunities for industrial upgrading. The “going out” strategy promoted by the government and “Made in China 2025” have created new breakthroughs for the development and transformation of related industries. With 40 years of deepening of the Chinese market, Cummins actively seeks deeper cooperation with its Chinese partners and promotes manufacturing upgrades. Cummins and leading companies in China's automobile and equipment manufacturing industry, such as Dongfeng Motor, Foton Motor, Liugong, and Chongqing Electromechanical, will continue to leverage their technological and resource advantages to advance green manufacturing and smart manufacturing. Further build the core competitiveness of engine technology leaders such as Dongfeng Cummins and Foton Cummins. Combining with the mainstream market strategy, Cummins will further increase its support for joint ventures in China, promote the production capacity of Foton Cummins II, the new Cummins plant in Chongqing, the R&D expansion of green technologies in China R&D centers, and the construction of a large-horsepower R&D base. At the same time, as a leading power equipment manufacturer for global operations, Cummins is also continuously collaborating with its own resources in the global market to help China's OEMs expand in the international market. Since the beginning of this year, there have been construction equipment, passenger cars, power systems and other equipment Cummins power equipment successfully exported to overseas markets. Cummins also provides strong support for the overseas service of these products.

At the same time, Cummins will further expand its collaboration with industry partners in green environmental protection technologies and utilize system integration advantages such as emission treatment systems, fuel systems, and turbocharger technologies to further reduce pollutant emission levels and improve fuel economy. Sex. In addition, we will actively promote the application of clean gas engines and power systems to increase the application level of green alternative fuels.

Cummins’ Chinese employees also celebrated their 40th anniversary in China by actively participating in bus emission upgrades. In order to further reduce bus emission pollution, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Environmental Protection issued a new Beijing local standard to solve the problem that heavy-duty diesel locomotives that use SCR selective catalytic reduction technology may cause high levels of nitrogen oxide emissions when driving at low loads or at low speeds. It is expected that after the implementation of the new standard, the buses in the four countries and five in the country will have an average reduction of 60% in nitrogen oxide emissions per vehicle. Cummins is the first engine company to actively respond to this environmental protection initiative. The Cummins China R&D Center in Wuhan has invested a large amount of manpower and resources to develop technologies and measures to meet the new calibration requirements. The solution will soon be released: On the one hand, the engine needs to increase the thermal insulation material in the post-discharge treatment system. On the other hand, it must simultaneously write engine calibrations through software upgrades to further improve operational performance and optimize emission targets. In view of the characteristics of public transport operations, Cummins employees are using volunteer services in the form of community services to use the weekends for software upgrades in order to minimize the impact of upgrades on the normal operation of vehicles.

Although some foreign-funded enterprises in China are currently withdrawing from the Chinese market, Cummins believes that the Chinese market still has great potential. On the basis of the existing layout, Cummins will increase its investment in the Chinese market and further be customer-oriented. On the one hand, it will strengthen the construction of local R&D capabilities, introduce innovative green technologies, and on the other hand, expand the post-market service network. Improve service levels and enhance user experience. In 2015, Cummins laid a foundation for the construction of a large-horsepower engine R&D center and production base in Chongqing. It is expected that the construction of the technology center will be completed by the end of 2016, and the construction of production lines and supporting facilities will be completed by the end of 2018.

The connection between Cummins and China can be traced back to the 1940s. President Roosevelt signed the "Lending Act" to provide assistance to 38 countries including China. In that battle, the Chinese people played an important role in the just battle against the aggressors. In the 1970s, with the easing of Sino-U.S. relations, China gradually opened the door to reform and opening. Cummins became the first wave of children and embraced this vast land of convergence opportunities and challenges, and officially started business with China.

As the earliest western diesel engine company to produce engines in China and the largest engine industry investor in China, Cummins and its affiliates have invested more than US$1 billion in China. So far, Cummins has a total of 30 companies in China. The organization includes 16 wholly-owned and joint venture companies with more than 9,000 employees producing engines, generator sets, alternators, filtration systems, turbocharging systems, aftertreatment and fuel systems. Cummins' service network in China includes 12 companies. Regional service center, more than 30 customer support platforms and more than 2,000 authorized dealers of sole proprietorships and joint ventures in China.

Cummins has long established a strategic alliance with large Chinese companies to achieve common development. For four decades, Cummins has established five engine joint venture plants with Chinese industry leaders including Dongfeng Motor, Chongqing Electromechanical, Shaanxi Automobile Group, Beiqi Foton and Liugong Group, and there are fifteen of Cummins' twenty-four engine series. One is produced locally in China.

"Gravity Die Casting. A permanent mould casting process, where the molten metal is poured from a vessle of ladle into the mould, and cavity fills with no force other than gravity, in a similar manner to the production of sand castings, although filling cn be controlled by tilting the die."

Gravity Die Casting

Sometimes referred to as Permanent Mould, GDC is a repeatable casting process used for non-ferrous alloy parts, typically aluminium, Zinc and Copper Base alloys.

The process differs from HPDC in that Gravity- rather than high pressure- is used to fill the mould with the liquid alloy.

GDC is suited to medium to high volumes products and typically parts are of a heavier sections than HPDC, but thinner sections than sand casting.

There are three key stages in the process.

  1. The heated mould [Die or Tool] is coated with a die release agent. The release agent spray also has a secondary function in that it aids cooling of the mould face after the previous part has been removed from the die.
  2. Molten metal is poured into channels in the tool to allow the material to fill all the extremities of the mould cavity. The metal is either hand poured using steel ladles or dosed using mechanical methods. Typically, there is a mould [down sprue" that allows the alloy to enter the mould cavity from the lower part of the die, reducing the formation of turbulence and subsequent porosity and inclusions in the finished part.
  3. Once the part has cooled sufficiently, the die is opened, either manually or utilising mechanical methods.

Advantages

  • Good dimensional accuracy
  • Smoother cast surface finish than sand casting
  • Improved mechanical properties compared to sand casting
  • Thinner walls can be cast compared to sand casting
  • Reverse draft internal pockets and forms can be cast in using preformed sand core inserts
  • Steel pins and inserts can be cast in to the part
  • Faster production times compared to other processes.
  • Once the tolling is proven, the product quality is very repeatable.
  • Outsourced Tooling setup costs can be lower than sand casting.
