Recently, in order to optimize its production process structure, improve the intelligent manufacturing level of precision glass molds and strengthen its core market competitiveness, Xinzhi has launched a major dedicated technical upgrading and transformation project with a cumulative investment of nearly RMB 4 million, introducing more than ten sets of high-end precision intelligent processing equipment to comprehensively fill process gaps, upgrade its capacity system and help the company's intelligent manufacturing capability reach a new level.
The purchased equipment covers a wide range and the entire production process, mainly including 6 five-axis machining centers, 4 high-precision CNC lathes, 1 six-axis EDM hole-drilling machine and 1 five-axis laser welding machine. At present, the newly arrived equipment has successively completed delivery acceptance and is scheduled to complete installation and commissioning in batches during June and July, officially entering the trial production stage.

Among the equipment on this technical upgrade procurement list, the five-axis machining centers are the core investment. These six dedicated machines are mainly suited to fine machining of characters and customized patterns in the inner cavities of glass molds, and can efficiently complete integrated machining of molds with complex curved surfaces and special-shaped structures. Compared with traditional processing methods, the equipment enables multi-process integrated production with a single setup, effectively shortening process transfer time, avoiding machining errors caused by repeated clamping, and greatly improving the machining precision and production delivery efficiency of special-shaped mold products.
CNC lathe
The four CNC lathes introduced as supporting equipment focus on the precision turning needs of main products such as bottle body molds and bottle neck molds. They are complementary and synergistic with the five-axis machining centers and build a mature and complete integrated turning-milling processing system, further enhancing the mass production capacity and product qualification rate of standardized mold products.

At the same time, the six-axis EDM hole-drilling machine can specifically solve the processing pain points of multi-angle, high-difficulty and high-density vent holes and overcome the production process challenges of vent structures in complex molds; the five-axis laser welding machine, based on five-axis linkage control technology and the laser cladding process, is dedicated to alloy strengthening of core components such as bottle body molds and neck molds, comprehensively upgrading the quality of mold spray welding and cladding, extending mold service life and meeting the increasingly diverse laser strengthening process needs of the high-end market.
With the implementation of this concentrated technical upgrade, the company has successfully completed the upgrading and strengthening of the entire process chain covering multi-axis cutting, precision turning, deep hole processing and precision laser welding, building an integrated and intelligent high-end glass mold manufacturing process chain and reshaping the company's manufacturing advantages.
Going forward, Xinzhi will advance both talent development and digital upgrading of its production lines around the newly introduced high-end equipment. On the one hand, it will specifically train technical personnel in multi-axis programming and compound equipment operation to maximize the capacity value of the high-end equipment; on the other hand, it will accelerate equipment interconnection and the construction of production data acquisition systems, steadily promoting the transformation of the production workshop toward digitalization, intelligence and integration.
The concentrated investment in this high-precision equipment is not only an important strategic layout for Xinzhi to deepen its presence in the glass mold field and anchor itself to the "specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative" development path, but also a key measure for the company to promote the transformation and upgrading of its production model. Once all the equipment is officially put into production, the company will have a stronger ability to undertake complex customized orders, further expand into market segments such as cosmetic packaging molds and daily-use vessel molds, continuously optimize its product matrix and stabilize delivery quality, injecting strong internal momentum into the company's long-term high-quality development.
