Chapter 908: Chapter 466 This work efficiency is too slow!_3
The main advantage is its power, but the downside is the noise and vibration.
The direct-drive spindle is primarily used for machining small parts. The faster the speed, the less the cutting force required. Its use is quite widespread in industry, and it has many advantages. For example, it is much faster than belt-driven spindles, but direct-drive requires very high precision in spindle alignment.
Red Wind Industry produces and develops several types of spindles and has a certain market share domestically. However, their main focus in spindle technology R&D has been placed on the latest type of electric spindles.
Electric spindles are the newest type, capable of very high speeds, reaching 50,000 revolutions. With an integrated electric motor, the spindle transmission structure simplifies the headstock and spindle assembly, effectively enhancing the stiffness of spindle components. Many large machine tools internationally, including those for ultra-high-precision CNC machining, use fast, easily controlled electric spindles.
The main technical challenge of electric spindles lies in overcoming their shortcomings, such as the seals and accuracy of the spindle. A high-speed spindle can lead to more wear, and ensuring ultra-high sealing reduces the likelihood of damage. Accuracy is the critical element: only when precision reaches a certain level can the spindle be used in machines for processing delicate parts.
"Therefore, the focus of R&D should be on electric spindles. Red Wind Industry specializes in electric spindles, but the ones they produce can’t even be used in domestically developed machines..."
Zhao Yi lamented, shaking his head.
From this, one can see the gap between China’s high-end manufacturing industry and international standards. Most of the top manufacturing companies in China use imported machine tools, and the very top-tier industrial machines are even subject to purchase restrictions.
Domestically developed machine tools cannot be used in the top high-end manufacturing industries.
For example, the production of electronic chips, which requires the highest precision.
This ultra-high-precision machining field is completely monopolized by foreign companies. Spindle technology doesn’t represent the whole machine tool, but it is an indispensable core component of the machine.
"With the electric spindle manufacturing technology that Red Wind Industry possesses, I estimate they are probably two or three generations behind, perhaps even more, from creating the world’s most precise electric spindle?"
Zhao Yi was somewhat uncertain, but he was eager to start R&D, not only hoping to help develop China’s high-end manufacturing technology but also to test the effects of "Derivation Law."
When he actually tested the effects of "Derivation Law," he encountered a problem. The spindle is much simpler than an engine but still consists of several parts. He discovered that "Derivation Law" could not be applied to the whole; it had to be used on one component at a time.
Then...

Zhao Yi was somewhat taken aback by the system’s prompt. The effect of "Derivation Law" seemed excellent, but the consumption of Study Coins was astonishing.
By this calculation, upgrading Red Wind Industry’s electric spindle technology by one generation would require hundreds, perhaps thousands of Study Coins?
"Seems a bit of a loss..."
The ’loss’ Zhao Yi spoke of referred to Study Coins, because even if the next generation of electric spindle technology was developed, it might not earn thousands of Study Coins.
Based on past experience, it should be around five hundred or eight hundred Study Coins. The calculation suggested a loss unless Red Wind Industry’s electric spindle technology could reach an international level and spark heated public discussion, potentially yielding more Study Coins.
Of course, even with a ’loss’ in Study Coins, R&D would definitely proceed.
Zhao Yi still reluctantly used the "Derivation Law" and immediately received insights into the next-generation design for electric spindles, specifically the hollow structure technology within, knowing how to design the hollow body structure.
Clearly.
This was only a part of the spindle design and did not bring about any Study Coin rewards. freёwebnovel.com
As Zhao Yi looked at his once again depleted Study Coins, he thought with a reflective mood, "I’ll have to rely on the airplane design side, after all. I wonder what kind of achievement the Aviation Group needs to complete its design acceptance work!"
"Their work efficiency is too slow!"
"It’s been nearly two weeks now, and not a bit of news!"
