Greedy for Small Advantages

Hearing the young employee's words, Zhang Yi felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he had ordered these machines, and the three CNC Machines he had ordered this time were all ordinary ones with average precision. Given the price of these machines, it was impossible to buy good ones.

A slightly better machine would cost at least several times, or even dozens of times, the price of these ordinary machines, which Zhang Yi simply couldn't afford at the moment.

So, Zhang Yi looked at Xiao Hua and the others, clearly asking if they had any good ideas about this matter. If there was really no other way, then the parts requiring higher precision could only be processed by Xiao Hua and the other two using ordinary machines.

However, in that case, besides the production efficiency being far inferior to that of CNC Machines, the scrap rate of the parts would also be very high. After all, this was processing with ordinary machines. No matter how skilled they were, Xiao Hua and the others were human, not machines, so there would always be times when they made mistakes.

This could very likely lead to an increase in the cost of his Aerodynamic Bicycle. It was important to know that most of these parts were made of high-performance Titanium Alloy. If one was scrapped, Zhang Yi would lose dozens or even hundreds of yuan.

Moreover, there were not just a few precision parts in the entire Aerodynamic Bicycle. Besides the part currently being processed, there were several other parts that required high precision. In fact, the part currently being processed had the lowest precision requirement among these parts, but even such a part couldn't be processed by these machines. So, let alone those parts that required even higher precision.

"Brother! Don't look at me. I don't have any good ideas right now. I just did some checks on this machine and found that it was actually designed for rough machining when it was designed, and it simply cannot perform precision machining.

Of course, if you are processing parts with general precision requirements that are not high, these machines can still handle it. But once you encounter parts with relatively high precision requirements, the shortcomings of these machines become apparent.

And I just discussed it with Xiao Liu and Xiao Xia. Even if we upgrade some parts of this machine, it won't actually improve the precision much.

After all, besides the precision of the internal parts of the machine not meeting the requirements, the software system of this machine also has significant flaws. However, although I know that the software of this machine has significant flaws, I am completely powerless to do anything about it. We are from the Mechanical Department, not the Industrial Computer Software Department." Xiao Hua said, shrugging her hands as she spoke.

After listening to Xiao Hua's words, Zhang Yi's face also turned red. Originally, he was planning to buy the same type of machine as last time, but after seeing the introduction of this machine, he found that its performance was only slightly worse than the one he had bought before, but the price difference was nearly 100,000 yuan. So, in order to save money, he bought these machines instead of the type he had bought before.

So, he also had no good ideas for a while. He didn't understand this aspect either. Of course, he could also go to the Scholar Coin Employment Mall again to hire a Scholar from the Computer Department, but unfortunately, with the Scholar Coins he currently had, he couldn't afford to hire a Scholar from the Computer Department at all.

Because the minimum hiring price for a Scholar from the Industrial Computer Software Department was at least two hundred Scholar Coins per year. Even if Zhang Yi converted all his current assets into Scholar Coins, he still couldn't afford to pay the Scholar Coins for hiring an Industrial Computer Software Department Scholar for a year.

Then Zhang Yi turned his gaze to Zhang Yang, who was beside him. After all, he was an old lathe worker who had worked for more than ten years and had definitely processed a lot of parts. At the same time, he had definitely used many machines, and he must have used machines with poor precision like these. Zhang Yi wanted to see if he had any good ideas.

Seeing Zhang Yi's gaze, Zhang Yang knew that Zhang Yi was asking him. However, Zhang Yang did not answer immediately. Instead, he first walked to the side of the machine, then took a rough part and put it into the machine, started the machine, and carefully watched the machine's operation.

Soon, the part was processed. He casually took it out and carefully measured the part processed by the machine. As expected, there was still a big gap in precision for this part to be qualified. Then, he put the part back into the machine and began to program the processing program on the machine's operating platform. During the programming process, he would stop and think from time to time. After nearly half an hour, he finally completed the part processing program and started the machine again.

As the machine ran, everyone remained silent, their eyes fixed on the part being processed in the machine. Even Zhang Yang himself was tightly focused on the part in the machine at this time. In fact, he was also unsure in his heart at this time. After all, the performance of these machines themselves was too poor. Not only was the precision of the machine's own parts not good, but even the machine's system was not good. This was something he rarely encountered in his more than ten years of work experience.

And even if he had encountered such machines a few times, they were basically used for rough machining, and there were no requirements for precision at all. So, he could only rely on his past experience in operating machines to modify the machine's processing data.

Soon, this part was processed by the machine. Zhang Yang took out the part from the machine again this time and measured the size of the part. However, after measuring the size, Zhang Yang's expression finally relaxed a bit, and he began to make some modifications to the previous data, and then started the machine again for processing.

After Zhang Yang repeatedly modified the processing data five or six times, he finally spoke to Zhang Yi; "Director Zhang! This is already the limit of the machine. After all, the precision of the machine itself is there. If you want to improve the precision further, I don't have any good ideas either, unless you modify the parts of this machine and replace them with more precise parts, as well as replace the machine's system.

Only in this way can the precision of this machine be improved by one level. However, even so, due to the significant design flaws of this machine itself, it is still impossible to achieve ideal precision. Moreover, doing this is not as good as manufacturing a new machine or purchasing machines with slightly better performance."

Although Zhang Yang said this, in fact, after Zhang Yang corrected the processing data, the data of the processed part was much better at this time, and it had basically reached the precision requirements of this part. However, this was only basically achieved.

In reality, there was still some gap from being truly qualified, and the scrap rate was still relatively high. However, given the current situation, unless the machine was completely modified, it would be impossible to improve the precision.

Although the processed parts did not meet Zhang Yi's requirements, Zhang Yi still said to Zhang Yang; "Master Zhang, you've worked hard. As expected of an old master."

"It's not hard, Director Zhang, this is what I should do. However, Director Zhang, when you buy machines in the future, please don't buy these machines with backward performance anymore. At the very least, buy machines from big brands, so that the performance of the machines will be guaranteed, and the production efficiency will also be guaranteed. Otherwise, it will not only waste time, but also the precision will not be guaranteed, and it will even waste materials and energy." In fact, Zhang Yang was also very tired at this time. He had been constantly modifying the processing data in front of this machine for several hours, and an ordinary person would have been unable to bear it long ago.
