Small to a screw, mechanical parts, large to cars, ships, aircraft, railways, thousands of lines of business are inseparable from the factory roaring machine tools. Machine tool refers to the machine that makes the workpiece, known as the “industrial mother machine”, is the foundation of a country’s equipment manufacturing industry.
Machine tools can be divided into metal cutting machine tools and metal forming machine tools (China Machine Tool Industry Association statistical caliber), the former is one of the most widely used types of machine tools. Traditional metal cutting machine tools are mostly single-spindle single-station machine tools, there are single processing content, low efficiency, high production cost pain points, and Langkuai Intelligent Technology (Hangzhou) Co., LTD. (referred to as “Langkuai Technology”) is the leading domestic production of high-precision, multi-spindle multi-station special machine tools. And to provide customers with digital factory/workshop integrated solutions of high-tech enterprises.
As a high-end machine tool manufacturer deeply involved in international competition, Lankspeed Technology is committed to improving machine performance, shortening product delivery time and helping customers succeed through technological innovation and smart supply chain construction. Since its inception in 2016, Lankspeed has chosen to partner with Schneider Electric to create automated, customized and intelligent production lines for the digital future.
In April 2021, Schneider Electric signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Lankspeed Technology to carry out in-depth cooperation in digital empowerment and project development and overseas investment. With its own successful practice of digital transformation in the industrial sector, the precise insights and innovative technologies acquired over many years in the industry, Schneider Electric enables LanKfast to achieve full life cycle equipment efficiency management through integrated hardware and software solutions including EcoStruxure™ machine SCADA experts. Lay a solid foundation for the construction of digital unmanned factories.
Breaking the monopoly of innovative machine tools

In 2013, the concept of “Industry 4.0” proposed by Hannover MESSE swept the world. At that time, China’s manufacturing industry is in the eve of large-scale transformation and upgrading, domestic industrial enterprises coincidentally felt the pressure from product quality, labor costs and production efficiency and other aspects, machine tool industry is no exception.
With the rapid development of the machine tool industry, the market has put forward more stringent requirements for the efficiency, accuracy and cost of the machine tool, and the traditional single-spindle single-position machine tool is increasingly “powerless” : on the one hand, the manufacturer needs to buy multiple machine tools to assemble into the production line, resulting in a large floor area, which brings greater challenges for workshop management and logistics management; On the other hand, multiple machine tools require multiple workers to operate, not only labor costs and management costs are high, but also because of the different levels between different operators, it is difficult to ensure the stability of product quality.
In contrast, multi-spindle multi-station special machine tools with higher process integration are increasingly favored by the market. This advanced machine tool products relative to traditional machine tools have been improved from quantity to quality, a multi-spindle multi-station special machine tool is equivalent to 8 to 15 times the capacity of single-spindle single-station machine tools, naturally suitable for the huge output of metal processing industry, especially new energy vehicles related metal parts. As we all know, due to the boost of policies, China’s new energy automobile industry has entered a stage of rapid growth in recent years. Each new energy vehicle has tens of thousands of parts, and the lightweight trend of the body makes it need to use a large number of aluminum magnesium alloy metal parts in the manufacturing process, which requires efficient production equipment to meet the demand. Therefore, the automotive industry has become one of the largest application markets for multi-spindle multi-station special machine tools.

However, at that time, although domestic enterprises have strong demand for multi-station combined machine tools, the core technology of the product is monopolized by European enterprises, and domestic manufacturers can only import high prices from Europe if they want to apply such machine tools. In this context, Lankspeed technology is keen to change the market wind, the “no one” track, with the help of Schneider Electric and other partners, to overcome various technical difficulties, and finally break the foreign monopoly, and develop innovative multi-spindle multi-station special machine tools, becoming the first manufacturer to introduce relevant European technologies to China
