World-class CNC Competition, China's Youth CNC Turning and Milling King!

On October 16, 2022, on the occasion of the grand convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 2022 WorldSkills Special Competition CNC milling and CNC turning competitions ended successfully in Leonberg, Germany. Two national players Zhou Chujie and Wu Hongyu from Guangdong Mechanical Technician College won the gold medal in CNC milling project and the gold medal in CNC turning project respectively!

In order to help everyone have a more in-depth understanding and macro understanding of this competition, Tuofa CNC Machining interviewed by phone the team leader of the Chinese team of the CNC turning project of the World Skills Competition at the German competition site and a senior engineer of Beihang University. Talk to you about the story behind the gold medal.

 CNC competition champion road to success

The CNC industry has high requirements for the comprehensive quality of talents. It not only requires operators to have super-high hands-on ability and computing ability, but also requires super-strong memory ability to memorize various complex mechanical parameters and technological processes. The contestants Zhou Chujie and Wu Hongyu are both students from Guangdong Mechanical Technician College in China. Their journey has not been easy. Relying on the spirit of hard work and hard work they have cultivated since childhood, they have experienced the accumulation of professional skills.

Standing on the top podium today. Therefore, today's outstanding achievements are more due to their own hard work and sincere love for the technology industry. It can be said that modesty and prudence, practical and self-motivated are the necessary professional qualities of every technical talent.

The arduous journey of winning the CNC competition

This year's skills competition was originally planned to be held in Shanghai in October 2022, but it was eventually cancelled due to the epidemic. Because this competition is equivalent to a substitute for the official competition, it is called a special competition. Even so, the competition system and requirements of this competition have not been reduced because of this. Take this CNC milling project and CNC turning project as an example, these two projects have always been valued and favored by many countries and regions, and many countries will actively sign up and participate.

In addition to the large number of contestants, the level of competition in this competition is also very fierce. Until the last moment, it is impossible to know who will win. In the first module, the scores of the Vietnamese players are comparable to ours, and the Chinese players are only a few points ahead of them. But starting from the 2nd and 3rd modules, the Chinese players are firmly in the leading position.

The biggest feature of the WorldSkills competition is that it is in line with production and reality, and the competition topics come from real corporate tasks. For example, we have batch processing, assembly processing, and single-piece processing. The final operation results can meet the production needs of enterprises, and also reflect a development trend of the industry. At any time, any enterprise regards product quality as the lifeline for survival and development. Therefore, the previous skill competitions have high requirements for the quality of products.

For example: in the CNC milling project competition, it is necessary to program the tool path through computer software, and then operate the CNC machine tool, use the CNC milling cutter to cut the material, and control the dimensional accuracy according to the drawing requirements. This time, the Chinese players can win the gold medal, in fact, it is also due to their own pursuit of excellence in quality.

The competition helps CNC technology take off

The Chinese delegation has participated in the WorldSkills Competition for five times since 2011. This special competition is the 6th. It has achieved remarkable results in each competition. It has won a total of 36 gold medals, 29 silver medals, 20 bronze medals and 58 prizes. There is no shortage of technical personnel in China, but high-tech talents are lacking. Participating in the WorldSkills Competition has played a very positive role in promoting talent training in China's manufacturing industry in the future.

In the past, Chinese competitions did not have uniform and scientific standards. World-class competitions actually set benchmarks for some competitions in China, and also pointed out the direction for the cultivation of skilled talents in relevant Chinese universities. It can be said that this competition has achieved remarkable results and played a very important leading role in China's vocational education and vocational competitions.

In addition, this competition is also a display stage for various equipment, and various tools and machine tools can be "seen" by more people. For example, the machine tools and equipment used in the competition have been highly recognized by schools and enterprises after early publicity and display. With the continuous improvement and improvement of the WorldSkills Competition, the machinery and equipment must also be continuously improved and perfected. The above all play a pivotal role in the improvement of enterprise economic benefits and the upgrading of related products.

With the rapid development of society and the update and iteration of technology, the competition items of the WorldSkills Competition are also constantly changing. In previous competitions, most of the award-winning projects of the Chinese delegation belonged to the manufacturing field, which is also in line with China's status as a major manufacturing country. The title of "World Factory" is worthy of the name, indicating that the competitive ability of some of China's manufacturing projects is at the international leading level, reflecting China is moving towards a manufacturing power!
