A few days ago, China's largest tonnage of 4,000 tons of servo direct drive electric screw press was successfully developed in Wuhan. Experts said that this is a breakthrough in China's high-performance industrial machine tools.
The equipment is developed by Optics Valley enterprise - Wuhan Xinweiqi Technology Co., Ltd., hereinafter referred to as Xinweiqi, and is now in service in China's aerospace industry for the production of key components of advanced aero engines. The company was founded by Professor Huang Shuhuai after stepping down as president of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and he actively advocated solving the "stuck neck" problem with independent innovation.

Professor Huang Shuhuai "closed the door" Dr. Feng Yi, general manager of Xinwiqi Company, introduced that the nominal pressure of the press is 4,000 tons, the long-term allowable load is 6,400 tons, the cold shock force is 8,000 tons, and the full energy of the moving part is 1,000 kilojoules. The design and performance indicators have reached or partially exceeded similar foreign products, reached the international advanced level, and once again refreshed a new record for this type of domestic equipment.

Industrial machine tool is "the machine of manufacturing machine", forging equipment is one of the most important industrial machine tools, and advanced heavy-duty forging equipment is a symbol of the strength of a country's high-end equipment manufacturing industry. In the early 90s of last century, a large number of foreign machine tools poured into the Chinese market, but in the core technology, foreign companies have adopted a strategy of suppression and blockade. In 2003, Sunwich successfully developed the first domestic electric screw press, filling the gap in China.
In 2016, the company took the lead in developing the J58ZK series servo direct-drive electric screw press in China, a high-end forging equipment with the advantages of zero transmission, high efficiency and high precision, and no motion noise, and quickly won the favor of the market and the recognition of customers. In October 2023, the heavy-duty plant with a single piece of 300-ton lifting capacity broke ground, and the next step will be to develop the world's first set of 10,000-ton servo direct-drive CNC electric screw presses representing the highest international level.
So far, New Wiki has delivered more than 1,800 sets of forging equipment, built more than 140 automated forging lines, and served more than 500 users. It has won a total of 2 national awards, 9 provincial and ministerial awards, and has been selected as one of the top ten scientific and technological advances in China's intelligent manufacturing, and won the title of national specialized, special and new key small giant enterprise in 2021.
