Changzhou TiLi reducer Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "TiLi reducer") recently announced a strategic cooperation with Kinco Automation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kinco") to manufacture high-precision motor shafts on its behalf. This cooperation marks the further expansion of TiLi reducer in the field of precision component manufacturing, and injects new momentum into the localization replacement of core components of domestic automation equipment.

Background of cooperation: Accelerating the localization of core components of automation equipment

With the surge in demand for industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, the accuracy and reliability of motor shafts, as the core transmission components of servo motors, stepper motors, and other equipment, directly affect equipment performance. However, high-end motor shafts have long relied on imports, and domestic manufacturers face technological barriers and cost pressures. As a leading enterprise in the field of industrial automation control in China, Kinco has been continuously promoting the localization of its supply chain in recent years. Choosing TiLi reducer as its OEM partner is not only a recognition of its technological strength, but also a deepening of its domestic substitution strategy.

Since its establishment in 2003, TiLi reducer has focused on the research and production of reducers and gearboxes. It has advanced equipment such as German and Swiss gear grinders, Japanese machining centers, and has passed ISO9001 quality management system and CE certification. Its experience in high-precision gear machining provides the possibility of technology transfer for motor shaft manufacturing.

Technical advantage: Precision machining and customization capabilities are key

TiLi reducer's OEM business relies on its mature precision manufacturing capabilities:

High precision equipment guarantee: Swiss gear grinding machines, Japanese machining centers, and other equipment are used to ensure that the dimensional accuracy of the motor shaft (such as axis straightness and coaxiality) reaches micrometer level standards, meeting Kinco's high requirements for servo motor shafts.

Modular design experience: Based on the accumulation of modular technology in the field of reducers (such as the high torque single screw extruder reducer patent approved in 2017), TiLi applies flexible production concepts to motor shaft machining, which can quickly adapt to different model requirements.

Material and process innovation: By using hard tooth surface machining technology and surface treatment process, the wear resistance and fatigue strength of the motor shaft are improved, and the service life of the equipment is extended.

Significance of Cooperation: Industrial Chain Collaboration Promotes Technological Cost Reduction

This cooperation is not only a simple OEM relationship, but also reflects the trend of collaborative innovation in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain:

Cost optimization: TiLi reducer reduces motor shaft costs by about 15% through large-scale production and process optimization, helping Kinco gain an advantage in price competition.

Technical feedback: Kinco's experience in motor control has provided TiLi with improvement directions that are closer to end applications, such as optimizing the dynamic balance design of the shaft to adapt to high-speed operation scenarios.

Domestic substitution acceleration: The products jointly developed by both parties have passed Kinco testing and been applied to their new generation servo motors, gradually replacing the previously relied upon Japanese and German imported components.

Industry Impact: Precision Manufacturing Track Welcomes Development Opportunities

According to industry analysis, the global precision motor shaft market is expected to exceed $8 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.5%. The expansion of TiLi reducer's OEM business has not only opened up new growth points for it, but also provided a transformation model for domestic precision manufacturing enterprises. In the future, with the explosion of humanoid robots, high-end CNC machine tools and other fields, the demand for high-precision transmission components will be further released.

Challenges and Prospects

Despite its broad prospects, TiLi reducers still need to address two major challenges:

Technological iteration pressure: International leading manufacturers such as THK and NSK continue to increase their investment in nanoscale processing technology, while domestic enterprises need to seek breakthroughs in materials science and heat treatment processes.

Capacity bottleneck: As the order volume increases, TiLi needs to further upgrade its production line automation level to balance efficiency and quality control.

Conclusion

The collaboration between TiLi reducer and Kinco is a microcosm of the upgrade from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China". By integrating precision machining technology with automation application scenarios, both parties are gradually breaking down the technological barriers of high-end transmission components, laying the foundation for the independent controllability of domestic industrial equipment. In the future, with the advancement of smart factories and green manufacturing, such industrial chain collaboration models may become the norm in the industry.
