Extensive R&D is critical for the success of a business. The crux of any new product is conducive research and development of prototypes before heading toward mass production. This is why many manufacturers have dedicated R&D laboratories, which allow them to develop and test products. This article gives an in-depth look into CHINT Process Engineering Center as an advanced R&D laboratory.
A Look into a Modern R&D Laboratory
An advanced R&D laboratory typically provides state-of-the-art facilities for producing new and innovative products. CHINT Process Engineering Center is a prime example of what an advanced modern-day R&D laboratory should be. It is set up to:
Capture Industry Focus
CHINT Process Engineering Center is intended to become a focal point for the industry. This R&D laboratory serves as a platform for sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation within the sector.
Gain Insight into Market Changes
The Process Engineering Center is set up to gain a deeper understanding of the market. By researching and developing existing products, CHINT can foresee and respond to market changes more effectively.
Offer Tailor-Made Solutions
CHINT Process Engineering Center provides tailored solutions to meet specific needs. It ensures that the solutions provided are highly relevant and can deliver tangible benefits to the clients.
Main Equipment of CHINT Process Engineering Center
In order to capture industry focus, gain market insights, and offer tailored solutions, CHINT Process Engineering Center is equipped with various advanced devices. The CNC machining center can quickly process and machine different materials into a myriad of shapes. CNC engraving machine is designed for special functional parts of low-voltage electrical appliances, such as PA46 plastic, POM, and PA66, with an accuracy of 0.02mm. The microengraving machine is designed to process double-layer circuit plates for electronic products. The processing of a complex circuit plate can be completed in approximately 3 hours. Other equipment includes the spring machine, laser cutting machine, turning-milling machine, etc.
Key Areas of CHINT Process Engineering Center
CHINT Process Engineering Center has segmented areas designed for different purposes:
Material Storage Area
At the heart of the center’s logistics and inventory management is the material storage area. Materials needed for the production process are stored in this area. The materials are organized and labeled. There are over 200 materials ready for use in prototyping at all times.
3D Printing Area
The 3D printing area houses state-of-the-art 3D printers capable of rendering layer-upon-layer manufacturing technologies that can shape different objects based on computerized digital models. They reduce the need for extensive mechanical processing parts or steps, delivering the required part with minimal processing time.
Office Area
The filter processing area is another key area for the processing of plates and the assembly of partial products. It largely contributes to precision processing. After the prototyping process, the prototype will be sent to the laboratory center immediately for further testing and verification.
Fitter Processing Area
The filter processing area is another key area for the processing of plates and the assembly of partial products. It largely contributes to precision processing. After the prototyping process, the prototype will be sent to the laboratory center immediately for further testing and verification.
Main Competence of CHINT Process Engineering Center
With advanced equipment and comprehensive functional areas, CHINT Process Engineering Center presents two main competencies:
Rapid Manufacturing
CHINT Process Engineering Center is capable of rapid manufacturing. A fresh technical solution can be sent to the center directly from the design department and transformed into the corresponding object quickly. Even for a new 300-component circuit breaker, it takes no more than one week to perfectly restore the design, create a highly precise first-generation product and put it into tests immediately.
Comprehensive Manufacturing Technologies
The Process Engineering Center covers advanced manufacturing technologies for low-voltage electrical appliances. Whether the structural verification and reliability testing in the initial stage or the customer prototype display in the later stage, CHINT not only makes sure it meets the existing high requirements in the market but also pursues excellence and constantly refreshes the best results achieved.
What Does An Advanced R&D Laboratory Look Like?
It can be easily concluded that an advanced R&D lab should have advanced equipment and comprehensive functional areas that make R&D viable. Manufacturers should have a clear understanding of why they set up an R&D laboratory and what their R&D laboratories are capable of. CHINT Process Engineering Center is a prime example of such practices. At CHINT, our manufacturing equipment, materials, technical teams, and processing areas all ensure that our final products are developed economically with meticulous craftsmanship.
