Weichai H platform High-End Engines to Win the Market through Quality

2018.01.27

At the very beginning of the New Year, Weichai got off on the right foot as its engine business continued last year’s high growth. Weichai people were in the midst of busy time of high production.

In the high-end engine production base of the H platform, Weichai No.1 plant is provided with world-class equipment, processes, and management, as well as a group of hard-working employees, who create market miracles one after another with their sweat and wisdom, including the fact that the sales volume of engines exceeded 10,000 units in the second year after H platform was launched, and the production capacity surged five times in January 2018 compared to the same period of last year, but still indicated demand over supply!

Sun Chunming is a Weichai employee who has been engaged in machining work for 9 years. In the process he is responsible for, there are 36 finish milling cutters equipped, but he is capable to complete the adjustment of each cutter at the speed of 55 seconds and guarantee the machining accuracy of 0.02 mm, which underscores his “fast, fine and accurate” cutter adjustment operation.

In the process of flywheel housing installation in the assembly workshop, the manipulators independently developed by Weichai mechanicscan not only greatly increaseproductivityand reduce labor intensity, but also completely eliminate thequality problems such as leakage and over-tightness.

At Weichai, the front-line workers are quite active in innovation, and many of production equipment are named after inventors or improvers. The imageshows a visual inspection device for rivets independently developed by Gao Xuequan and his team, which adopts intelligent visual recognition technology to eradicatemissing riveting and missinginspection of crankshaft rivets.

The assembly inspector Mu Zelei is using a micrometer to measure the thickness of lead wire and detecting the gear backlash. In his opinion, the H platform is Weichai’s new generation of high-end product, which is made possible by high-quality quality control.

Wei Zhendong of the assembly workshop, who is seasoned and skilled, is bent on adjusting valve clearance. He has operated countless engines, and is consistently tough on each of thousands of operations on a day daily and has never slacked off.

Lei Haifeng, a technicianfrom the complete equipment workshop, is sampling the painting quality on the day. There are 21 points that need to be checked on each diesel engine. He is always “censorious” of appearance quality and appearance consistency.

After numerous processes and operations, an H platform engine went offline. Prior to packaging and delivery, Zhang Wenjing is carefully checking the engine’s supporting document. She does a good job in practicing the philosophy of “Quality in my hands”all the way to the last step of the production.

Why has the H platform seendemand over supply and is it continuously popular upon the launch? All this has told the answer: the depth of quality determines the level of market!
