The China Ship and Ocean Engineering Welding Technology Development Forum 2018 was held in Shenzhen from June 28-29. The theme of this forum is "Integrating Innovation and Green Intelligent Manufacturing". As a co-sponsor, Megmeet answered some questions about the technical hotspots and difficulties concerning the innovation and development of welding technologies.Chinas shipbuilding industry is facing new opportunities and challenges, this raises higher requirements for Chinas ship welding technology. Faced with the situation, opportunities, challenges and mission, shipbuilding enterprises should lead the key technologies and modern engineering technologies in an all-round way, take technological innovation as a breakthrough to vigorously promote the application of efficient welding technologies, speed up the research to optimize and improve technological process and methods, so as to improve the welding efficiency and quality, turn relative resource advantages into technological competitiveness, and achieve the automation and intellectualization of ship welding.On the morning of June 28, General Manager of Megmeet Welding Lin Qingsen said that Megmeet understands the actual needs of the market more effectively through communication with shipbuilding companies, and will actively promote relevant technical innovation and product development in the future, so as to provide more effective solutions.Product Director He Zhijun delivered a wonderful keynote speech. He thoroughly introduced the "intelligent application of full digital welding machine" from five aspects: digital evolution, advantages of full digital welding machine, process evolution, function evolution, welding application and application of welding informationization, enabled the guests who attended the forum to be amazed by the changes brought by the development of welding machine, and get a better understanding of welding machine.Meanwhile, the "Megmeets Night of Shipbuilders" party was held to extend thanks to the guests coming from afar. They laughed and talked with each other, enjoying themselves in the delightful evening.A more open and professional seminar was held on the morning of June 29. Liu Jianfeng, Chief Technician of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Company, and Vice Director of Shanghai Zhenhua Port Machinery Company exchanged views on robotic welding technology, multi-layer and multi-pass welding, fillet welding, butt welding and transverse welding. Yang Wenhua, Senior Engineer of COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Company, put forward the research on the application of group control technology for welding machines, the application of information technology and welding production management technology, as well as the installation and improvement of centralized control and group control technologies for old welding equipment. Yu Xiaodi, Vice Minister of CIMC SOE, exchanged some views on welding deformation and precision control. Wei Liqin from CIMC Raffles and Director Xue Weizhong from Jiangnan Shipyard exchanged views on the difficulties and problems of bidirectional stainless steel pipe welding. Director Zhang Yuming from Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. exchanged views on plasma air gouging and carbon arc air gouging.Focusing on the current hot topics and technical difficulties, participants and guests shared their foresights and insights via face-to-face discussion and debates, thus creating new sparks of thought with experts and scholars in the industry.In the afternoon, delegates went to Megmeet for a tour and exchange. Accompanied by General Manager Lin Qingsen, Marketing Director Hu Rui, Product Director He Zhijun and Sales Manager of South China Region Liu Shouting, delegates visited Megmeet and got a better understanding of the company. The companys product "relay wire feeder" was used for welding demonstration on the site. In fact, the welding space is generally very narrow when building ship cabins. The excellent features of "relay wire feeder", such as super-long wire feeding and relay, can solve the problems of long distance and narrow space, this aroused great interest of ship enterprises’ representatives.Characteristics of repeater products◆With a weight of 4.3kg, relay wire feeder is light and compact; its metal shell is strong and durable; with streamline shape, it is easy to be towed.。◆Relay wire feeder has an operation display panel, which can be used to see and adjust welding parameters closely, it is more convenient to use.◆The maximum operating radius is up to 58m: wire feeder’s operating distance is 30m, relay wire feeder’s operating distance 25m, and the welding torch is 3m.◆Using ordinary welding guns, the cost of welding consumables is very low.◆Being widely used for welding large tanks, ship cabins, large steel structures and other welding occasions with long welding distance and narrow welding space.The China Ship and Ocean Engineering Welding Technology Development Forum 2018 was concluded successfully. Megmeet will make unremitting efforts, devote itself to research and development, improve high-efficiency welding technology and welding process, and make contributions to the development of the ship and ocean engineering industry.
