On the morning of November 10th, Guangdong Origin Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereafter “Origin Intelligent”) and the National Key Laboratory for Extreme Service Performance Precision Manufacturing (hereafter “the Laboratory”) jointly hosted a collaborative exchange meeting. The two parties engaged in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge technological topics, including extreme precision manufacturing, high-precision modeling of complex curved surfaces, precision gear profile modification, and ultra-precision manufacturing of super-hard materials.
During the meeting, Professor Tang Jinyuan, who leads the Laboratory’s research in precision design and manufacturing of aviation gears, presented the Laboratory’s research achievements and future directions in the field of precision manufacturing for equipment and components operating under extreme conditions. As a crucial research platform at Central South University, the Laboratory has long been dedicated to fundamental and applied research, providing robust scientific support for the autonomous development of high-end equipment in China.
Professor Tang also shared his unique perspectives on the future of design and manufacturing. He posited that future advancements would heavily rely on the deep integration of models, algorithms, and data. Using precision grinding as an example, he emphasized the need to focus on both surface quality and the physical properties of the surface layer. From a geometric standpoint, this involves macro-level form and position accuracy as well as micro-level topography. From a physical perspective, it encompasses the material structure of the surface layer, residual stress, and hardness gradients. Establishing accurate models to relate these properties to input process parameters is crucial. These parameters, representing energy input, influence the energy and material flow in the manufacturing process. Given the complexity of these models, advanced algorithms are necessary for solving and optimizing process parameters. Professor Tang also discussed recent research developments in in-situ measurement technology, visual inspection techniques, and the analysis of dynamic performance, geometric errors, and thermal errors in five-axis CNC machines. His insights provided profound inspiration to the attendees and opened new avenues for future collaboration between the two organizations.
Subsequently, representatives from Origin Intelligent showcased the company’s latest achievements and technological capabilities to the Laboratory faculty. During a tour of the Laboratory, representatives from both sides engaged in detailed discussions about their respective areas of research interest.
Following the meeting, the Origin Intelligent team visited an innovative entrepreneurship education project at Central South University’s School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering – the Formula Racing Team. Established in November 2014, this team is Hunan Province’s first electric formula racing team. It serves as a platform for nurturing well-rounded talents in vehicle engineering, combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills, and acts as a bridge for communication between academia and industry. The team comprises passionate undergraduate and graduate students from various departments. Rooted in Central South University’s Vehicle Engineering program, it brings together ambitious young individuals with a keen interest in electric vehicles, dedicated to developing high-performance electric race cars. It stands as one of the largest student project teams at the university.
The Central South University Formula Racing Team continuously innovates in race car design and manufacturing. Their advancements include the use of carbon fiber control arms, electric lateral stabilizer bars, launch control and traction control systems, a new air intake and DRS (Drag Reduction System), and a braking energy recovery system. To date, the team has garnered nearly thirty accolades, including a second-place national ranking for electric vehicles, first place in the “Lightweight Alliance” competition, the “Best Content” award, and the “NIO Dark Horse Cup.” These achievements not only bring honor to the university but also significantly contribute to the development of collegiate racing in China.
The successful convening of this collaborative exchange meeting has not only strengthened the friendship and mutual trust between Origin Intelligent and the Laboratory but also paved the way for extensive future cooperation and development opportunities. Both parties expressed their intention to use this meeting as a springboard for enhancing collaboration in research, technology, and talent development. They aim to jointly drive innovation in advanced manufacturing and high-end equipment, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry.
