Interview in Knife Industry Magazine | Hanyu Haoyang - General Manager Yi Xiaobin: Non-standard Customization, from Manufacturing to Intelligent Manufacturing
During the recently held China Zhuzhou International Expo of Advanced Cemented Carbide Materials and Tools (hereinafter referred to as the "Zhuzhou Expo"), Mr. Yi Xiaobin, General Manager of Sichuan Hanyu Haoyang Tools Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hanyu Haoyang"), accepted an exclusive interview with our magazine's correspondent. With his unique and in-depth industry insights, General Manager Yi elaborated in detail on the latest progress of Hanyu Haoyang in the field of high-precision tool manufacturing and its profound impact on the industry.

The unique features of the Zhuzhou Expo
"The Zhuzhou Expo gives people a feeling of relative freedom," said General Manager Yi. During the expo, there was a great deal of communication among knife industry peers. There is a complementary relationship between non-standard products and mainstream products. Many customers come here to look for non-standard products or high-precision products. When talking about the main purpose of participating in the expo, General Manager Yi said, "On the one hand, it is to promote our brand, and on the other hand, it is to exchange experiences with our peers and learn from each other's strengths to offset our weaknesses." Sichuan Hanyu Haoyang Tools Co., Ltd. is mainly committed to the production of high-precision tools and provides customized services according to customers' part drawings. It helps customers solve the problem of a high rejection rate caused by multi-process machining when using standard tools, thus reducing the generation of waste products.
The Highlights of Sichuan Hanyu Haoyang Tools Co., Ltd.
At this expo, Sichuan Hanyu Haoyang Tools Co., Ltd. brought representative products including the guide bar reaming series and the cyclone series, as well as non-standard tools for professional equipment. Compared with foreign brands, domestic products not only have a controllable production cycle, but also are reasonably priced. More importantly, the enterprise can provide reliable after-sales service.
Especially in the field of new energy vehicles, Hanyu Haoyang has successfully customized the tools for manufacturing worm gears according to customers' needs. This achievement has broken the long-term monopoly situation dominated by countries such as Germany and Switzerland. "When we have the raw materials, we can complete the delivery within one month, while it usually takes about eight months for Germany and Switzerland. This has greatly saved the time cost for our customers."
In the current market, standard products dominate, while non-standard customized products are relatively scarce. "High-precision equipment cannot do without non-standard customized products, which can effectively solve the problems of high precision and high efficiency," pointed out General Manager Yi. "Although ordinary blades can also complete the processing tasks, their high rejection rate is unacceptable to customers. However, by using formed cutters, the precision can be guaranteed while significantly reducing the rejection rate."
Although China's manufacturing industry has already ranked first in the world, it still needs to keep up with the core technologies continuously. It's just like sailing against the current; if you don't move forward, you will fall back.
Innovation drives social progress.
In terms of non-standard customization, Hanyu Haoyang is carrying out innovation almost every day. "Only those with the greatest innovative spirit can do a good job in non-standard products." The innovative achievements of Hanyu Haoyang lie in enabling customers to use the tools they need, thus translating into economic benefits. General Manager Yi also mentioned that the innovation in non-standard customization not only drives social progress but also brings about changes in multiple industries. "Take the automobile industry as an example. Due to the fact that some key components could not be produced domestically in the past, the prices of automobiles remained high. Now, with the progress of China's tool industry, the cost of automobiles has dropped significantly. Similarly, the reason why China's mobile phone industry can lead the world is also due to the overall progress of the manufacturing industry."
The Future of Hard Materials
Regarding the development trend of the hard material tools market, General Manager Yi believes that: "There is still a significant gap between China and foreign countries in terms of basic materials, and it requires the efforts of the entire industry and even at the national level to solve this problem.
"The technical materials in Europe and America were initially made from raw materials provided by China. However, after secondary processing, they can adapt to a variety of working conditions. In contrast, Chinese materials need to be subdivided according to different material types, which increases the management cost," General Manager Yi added. "Nevertheless, I believe that with the joint efforts of the government and enterprises, this issue will eventually be resolved."
