Amidst increasingly fierce competition in the manufacturing industry, upstream and downstream collaboration has become a key path for companies to enhance their competitiveness and achieve innovative development. As a comprehensive bearing manufacturer integrating forging, turning, heat treatment, grinding, assembly, and seal production, Zhejiang CMI Bearing Co., Ltd. is making significant strides in joint industrial development through government-led collaborative innovation initiatives across the entire industry chain. Through in-depth collaboration with companies such as Zhejiang Xuhui Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., this has injected new vitality into mutually beneficial development.

A reporter visiting CMI Bearing's intelligent workshop observed a 3D vision-based random-gripping device on a CNC production line picking up raw bearing rings for processing. An automated inspection vehicle then retrieved the finished products and transported them to the quality inspection area for comprehensive testing. This completes the entire process of automated unloading, testing, and compensation. Zhou Kaikai, a technician in the intelligent workshop of the Auto Parts Division of Zhejiang CMI Bearing Co., Ltd., pointed to a machine tool and explained to reporters, "This is a fully automated workshop processing machine tool we jointly developed with Zhejiang Xuhui Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. It features automatic tool change, enabling continuous processing and reducing manual intervention and operation. Compared to our conventional hydraulic lines, this automated production line has improved processing efficiency by approximately 20%, increased the quality acceptance rate from 99.5% to 99.85%, and significantly reduced labor costs."

Zhejiang CMI Bearing Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Xuhui Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. have jointly researched key aspects of the bearing production process, such as convenient blanking and automatic tool changing. By introducing industry-leading automation equipment and intelligent control systems, they have improved production efficiency, reduced production costs, and further enhanced the stability and consistency of product quality. Furthermore, CMI Bearing has collaborated with multiple industry partners on this research. Through close collaboration across the industry, they have integrated resources, overcome technical challenges, and achieved collaborative innovation across the entire industry chain, bringing significant economic benefits and technological advancements to the company itself. "We've collaborated with other companies to develop a specialized machine tool that performs three-in-one drilling, tapping, and deburring for eccentric bushings. Previously, the machining process required four people, but now it can be completed by one. We also plan to work with local companies in Xinchang to convert existing hydraulic machine tool connections to hydraulic CNC machine connections, thereby reducing employee learning costs and adjustment difficulties and improving production efficiency," said Huang Ke, Technical Manager of the Automotive Components Division of Zhejiang CMI Bearing Co., Ltd.

CMI Bearing will continue to participate in collaborative innovation docking activities across the entire industry chain, deepen cooperation with upstream and downstream companies, continuously invest in R&D resources, and explore innovative cooperation models. Driven by joint research, we aim to promote breakthroughs in technological innovation and product upgrades, helping the company gain a broader market share.
