On January 10th,Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group Co.,Ltd.announced that the company has the mass production capacity of ballpoint pen nib"nib steel"and is expected to fully occupy the domestic market in the next two years,replacing imports.This news immediately sparked heated discussions in China,with major news outlets reporting on it.
The author of China Mining Daily,Wang Qiongjie,published an article titled"China's Intelligent Manufacturing Should Promote the Spirit of"Ballpoint Pen Tips",analyzing the fundamental reasons why small"components"like ballpoint pen heads rely on imports.One of the reasons is that some production and application enterprises lack national confidence and blindly"worship foreign countries".The mining industry also has a similar situation,and key technologies have been breakthrough,but have not been recognized and accepted by mining enterprises,And illustrate the existence of this phenomenon with the example of the hydraulic driven"monkey car"developed by Xiangtan Hengxin.
Hydraulic driven"monkey cars"are a new generation of"monkey cars"with high automation,intelligence,and control level.Compared with traditional mechanical driven"monkey cars",they have advantages such as soft start,soft stop,and high safety performance,so they are highly favored by mining enterprises.However,the development of this high-end"monkey car"in China has been slow,and it has been relying on imports from developed countries such as Germany for a long time.In 2008,Hengxin Industrial Co.,Ltd.in Xiangtan City successfully developed and produced hydraulic"monkey cars",which quickly occupied the domestic coal mining market and exported to countries such as India and Vietnam.Since then,domestic coal mines have never imported hydraulic"monkey cars"from developed countries such as Germany,which not only enhances the international status of hydraulic"monkey cars",but also saves a lot of foreign exchange for the country.
