Chapter 346 Vertical Lathe
Hearing that someone can repair a vertical lathe, Gu Zhijian, the director of the main machine workshop, ran to the door of the workshop to greet him. When he saw a few people following Yang Guotao, Gu Zhijian asked eagerly, "You two, who is a machine tool technician?" ?”

Cen Youxin and Long Wan looked at each other, there were obviously three people on his side, but Gu Zhijian only said "two people", obviously ignoring the third person flamboyantly.And this third party who was ignored was precisely the real machine tool technician Yang Wenyong.Alas, it seems that youth is indeed a mistake.

"Director Gu, let me introduce you. This is our technician, Yang Wenyong." Cen Youxin pushed Yang Wenyong to the front and solemnly recommended to Gu Zhijian.

Gu Zhijian showed the same doubt and dissatisfaction as Yang Guotao before, but when he saw Yang Guotao's calm expression, he didn't say much, but stretched out his hand to Yang Wenyong and said, "Oh , I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it turned out to be Master Xiao Yang."

Yang Wenyong stretched out his hand and shook Gu Zhijian's hands, and it was this handshake that gave Gu Zhijian a bit of confidence. It turned out that Yang Wenyong's palms were full of calluses, which was the strongest certificate for a technician.

A group of people walked into the workshop and came to the lying vertical lathe. Several fitters from the machine repair workshop had also arrived after hearing the news. Their purpose here was to see who the fitters of Hanlu Machine Tool Company were. What kind of level, on the other hand, is a bit overwhelming. In case Hanlu Machine Tool messes up, at least there are still knowledgeable people who can intervene.

Yang Wenyong is not a person who is good at communicating with people. When he greeted Yang Guotao and Gu Zhijian just now, he seemed a bit shy.But as soon as he stood in front of the machine tool, his whole body was full of vitality, as if seeing a friend he hadn't seen for many years.He first turned the handwheel to feel the resistance when turning it, then turned to Gu Zhijian and asked, "Director Gu, I want to try the car, is that okay?"

"Of course." Gu Zhijian replied.

Since this lathe was also being tested before, a ready-made workpiece was installed on the table, and the tool was already clamped.Yang Wenyong pressed the button to start the lathe, and then turned the hand wheel on the vertical tool holder to control the turning tool to extend to the workpiece, and cut a knife lightly on the workpiece.

His whole operation is very skilled, and he looks like he has many years of experience in lathe operation.Several people in Dongliao factory let out a sigh of relief, which meant that they had underestimated this young man before.

"How is it, Wen Yong, can you fix it?" Cen Youxin walked to Yang Wenyong's side and asked him in a low voice.

Yang Wenyong looked up at Cen Youxin strangely, and said, "Uncle, didn't you say that it must be repaired by others?"

Cen Youxin and Yang Wenyong are from the same township, and they are somewhat close relatives. In terms of seniority, Yang Wenyong wants to call Cen Youxin his uncle.A man like Yang Wenyong has a strong sense of locality. Even though he has been out for so many years, he still hasn't changed the name of Cen Youxin. Of course, in public, he still knows that he should change his name to Manager Cen.

"Hey, who said it must be repaired." Cen Youxin said with a bit of resentment, "Didn't I lie to them? If you really can't repair it, then find a reason to lie to them."

Cen Youxin said so, but also thought so in his heart.In fact, Cen Youxin himself is not sure about the guarantee that the vertical car can be repaired.The reason why he brought Yang Wenyong here was just to have a try mentality, no matter whether it can be repaired or not, there is always an extra chance to set porcelain with Yang Guotao.He thought, if it really can’t be repaired, it is absolutely impossible to take risks. A vertical car costs 10,000+ dollars, and it is not a joke to break it.

Yang Wenyong didn't think too much about it, he nodded, and said to Cen Youxin: "Uncle, I have repaired one of this type of vertical car, and it is a second-hand product imported from Germany at our Xunyang Scrap Metal Company."

"How is the repair?" Cen Youxin asked.

"It's been repaired. It's better than the current one." Yang Wenyong said, he drove the lathe and cut a knife just now, and he has a feeling for the accuracy of the lathe. Of course, the exact data needs to be measured with tools.

"Has that bed been sold?" Cen Youxin asked again.

Yang Wenyong said: "During the Chinese New Year, I went back to Xunyang and asked Wenjun, and he said that it seems that he hasn't sold it yet."

"Great!" Cen Youxin was overjoyed. He turned around and walked in front of Yang Guotao and Gu Zhijian, and said to them, "Director Yang, Director Gu, our little master Yang has already seen it. It can be fixed."

"Surely it can be fixed?" Yang Guotao and Gu Zhijian couldn't believe it.

Cen Youxin said: "That's for sure. However, our young master Yang also said that when you were repairing, some places were not done well. I don't know exactly what. He said that it would be more troublesome to repair. It might take some effort."

Cen Youxin deserves to be someone who has been in sales for so many years, and he speaks nonsense as soon as he opens his mouth.In fact, Yang Wenyong didn't say the above words at all, but when Cen Youxin said it, it sounded like that.Yang Guotao frowned and said: "Manager Cen, if you can repair it, it is of course the best. After repairing, we can pay you as much as the repair fee. However, if it is not done well, the small problem will become a big one. Problem..."

Cen Youxin patted his chest and said, "Well, I can sign a contract with you now. If this bed is not repaired, we will compensate you for a good one."

Yang Guotao was stunned: "What are you talking about, if you can't repair it, you will pay us one?"

Cen Youxin said: "Of course, I asked Mr. Yang just now, and he said that we have a vertical lathe of the same model in the factory over there in Xunyang. It was refurbished by our scrap metal company, and its accuracy is better than yours now. It’s better to have a good one. If this one is not repaired, I’ll make the decision and give you that one, how about it?”

Long Wanli stood aside, listening to Cen Youxin's all-encompassing, really sweating for him.This vertical car costs $10,000+. Cen Youxin really dared to call the shots. He dared to guarantee that he would replace it with a good one if it couldn't be repaired.

Long Wanli didn't know that Cen Youxin was making a huge gamble.If the bet wins, that is to say, Yang Wenyong has really repaired the machine tool, then the matter of the crankshaft machine tool will be discussed later, which will be a big deal involving several million dollars.In case of losing the bet, that is to say, Yang Wenyong was unable to repair this machine tool for a while, and at worst, he would exchange the repaired machine tool in Xunyang to Dongliao Shipyard. In fact, the loss would not be too great.The scrap metal company's machine tools are all bought at the scrap iron price, and they don't actually cost much.

Cen Youxin, as one of the shareholders of Hanhua Machine Tool Company, still has some power when making such decisions.Both Lin Zhenhua and Cen Youjun gave him such power, allowing him to take some risks for business needs.Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, this is a saying that Cen Youxin often says.

Sure enough, Yang Guotao was impressed by Cen Youxin's promise. He nodded with a smile and said, "Since Manager Cen has such confidence, let Master Yang go ahead and do it."

With Yang Guotao's permission, Cen Youxin went to Yang Wenyong's side again, and said to him: "Well, Wenyong, if you think how to fix it, just do it, if it doesn't work, we just pay them the Xunyang bed. "

When Cen Youxin and Yang Guotao were talking just now, Yang Wenyong had been studying this lathe all the time. Although he didn't dare to say that he knew all about the problems of the lathe, he still had a good grasp of it.He said to Cen Youxin: "Uncle, there is not a big problem with this bed. The main reason is that when their mechanics changed parts, they moved the guide rails and the headstock, and they were not installed properly. I guess it can be adjusted."

"Then you start repairing quickly." Cen Youxin patted Yang Wenyong on the shoulder, "Wen Yong, if you can repair this bed to its original precision, I will credit you, and I will ask Manager Lin to send you another 1 yuan Money bonus."

"Is this unnecessary?" Yang Wenyong was taken aback, "It's not too difficult to fix this, and Manager Lin won't pay so much money."

"He won't send it, but I will." Cen Youxin said, "Let's get started."

"Okay." Yang Wenyong agreed.

Therefore, Dongliao Shipyard itself had tried to repair this lathe before, so all kinds of tools on site were very complete.Yang Wenyong picked up a precision level and began to measure the straightness of the guide rail. He recorded the reading on the paper with a pen while measuring: "+1 square, minus 1 square, minus 2 squares, plus 0.5 square..."

After all the measurements, he calculated a few numbers on the paper, and then loosened the hex nuts used to fix the guide rail, and began to adjust the position of the guide rail.

Yang Guotao, Gu Zhijian and several mechanics stood aside, watching Yang Wenyong work.Laymen watched the excitement, while experts watched the doorway. When everyone saw Yang Wenyong's movements when he twisted the nut, they knew that this young man really had some kung fu.Tightening the nut is not enough to use brute force blindly, but to change the force according to the force of the nut under different compression conditions, and stop at the right time, so that the specified pre-tightening force can be achieved without causing the Damaged threads and nuts.

In theory, how force is applied can be represented by a torque curve, but in practice, it will all depend on the fitter's feel.Several mechanics at the scene couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Yang Wenyong's coherent movements like flowing water when he turned the nut.

"I really can't tell, this young man has worked as a fitter for at least 10 years." Yang Guotao said softly to Gu Zhijian.

Gu Zhijian also sighed: "Some of us have master fitters who have been working for 20 years, and their techniques are not as quick as his."

Several mechanics were even more stunned. They couldn't install the same guide rail to the specified straightness no matter what, but in Yang Wenyong's hands, everything changed.

"Plumb plane, the straightness tolerance is 0.025 mm; horizontal plane, 0.01 mm!" A mechanic who volunteered to help measure reported the result loudly.

"Wow!" Everyone applauded in unison. This assembly accuracy has exceeded the accuracy requirements promised by the manufacturer. This is a height that the mechanics of Dongliao Shipyard have failed to achieve despite their efforts.
