China has evolved into a major tool-manufacturing nation, continuously striving to enhance product quality. The industry is leveraging advanced technologies, modern machinery, and innovative practices across the board. Product standards are now aligned with ISO international benchmarks, reflecting a commitment to global competitiveness. Moreover, increased international collaboration and improved leadership within enterprises have become key drivers in pushing the industry forward.
In 2011, the Chinese tool hardware sector made significant progress, as highlighted by Zhou Jihua, the secretary general of the Tool Hardware Branch of the China National Hardware Association. According to customs data, the total export value reached $10.606 billion, marking a 26.7% year-on-year increase. Notably, small power tools saw an increase of 22.3%, while measuring tools surged by 50%. Garden tools and wrenches also showed strong growth, indicating a rising demand for these products globally.
On the import side, the total value climbed to $5.166 billion, up 21.9% from the previous year. Measuring tools alone accounted for $2.673 billion, a 26.4% rise. This highlights a growing reliance on imported high-precision instruments, despite the country's own advancements in manufacturing.
While traditional hand tools like wrenches and pliers remain popular, the steady growth in exports of power tools, garden equipment, and kits suggests that consumer demand remains strong, even amid global economic challenges. These products are especially favored in DIY markets across Europe and the U.S.
However, there are concerns about the industry’s reliance on volume rather than value. Many companies still depend on exporting large quantities without a proportional increase in profit margins. Additionally, competition from Indian and Taiwanese tool manufacturers is intensifying, posing new challenges.
Despite these issues, Zhou Jihua remains optimistic. He believes the Chinese tool industry is on a healthy and sustainable growth path. With continuous improvements in quality and market share, China is reshaping the global tool manufacturing landscape. As long as the industry maintains its current momentum and avoids rushed expansion, it is well on its way to becoming a true leader in the global tool-making arena.AS380 series elevator integrated drive controller is the new generation of state-of-the-art elevator-specific control and drive device. With full consideration of the safety & reliability of elevator;inherent characteristic of elevator operation and specific feature of potential energy load for elevator, AS380 series elevator integrated drive controller adopted advanced technology of frequency control of motor speed and intelligent elevator control as well as the integration of control & drive of elevator to make the further improvement of the product performance, easy-to-use property and cost efficiency.
Main features
a) Prefect integration of control and drive of elevator. The whole device features compact structure and small size, fewer connections, which is characterized as high reliability and easy-to-use property and cost-efficiency.
b) Double 32-bit embedded microprocessor jointly finish the elevator operation and motor drive control
c) Redundant safety design , double safety protection for control processor and drive processor to achieve the maximum safety guarantee for elevator travel
d) The design requirements of anti-interference capacity go beyond the highest standard in the industrial design requirement. e) All CAN bus communication make the whole system connected easily, data transmitted strongly, and more reliable.
f) The adoption of the advanced direct landing technology make elevator running more efficiently
g) The advanced multifunctional elevator operation mode can fully meet various needs of customers`
h) Advanced group control feature. Not only compatible with the traditional group control mode of up to 8 units, but also support the new group control of destination floor distribution.
i) The adoption of advanced vector control technology can make the motor speed adjusted well for the realization of the best elevator comfort.
j) Adapt to both synchronous motor and asynchronous motor.
k) Newly-developed none-load sensor-activated compensation technology provides excellent starting comfort to elevator even if no counterweight is installed.
l) To adopt incremental ABZ encoder to realize the synchronized control of motors. To adopt the none-load sensor-activated compensation technology to achieve the excellent start-up comfort.
m) New PWM dead band compensation technology can effectively reduce the motor noise and loss of machine.
n) Dynamic PWM carrier modulation technology can effectively reduce the motor noise.
o) Auto-tuning phase of synchronous motor without encoder
p) Asynchronous motor is not required for motor parameter acquisition process once the motor parameter is set correctly. The convenient static motor parameter acquisition process is available If is impossible to acquire the exact motor parameter on site. So there is no need to hoist the car and etc in this way.
q) The hardware is the 6th generation of module with the junction temperature resistance up to 175℃. Low loss for switch and connection to ensure the long use life.
