In the production workshop of an electronics factory in the Pearl River Delta, the chip arranging and placing operation that once required a 5-person team to spend a whole day on is now easily completed by a single part aligner machine. This scene has become a vivid epitome of the automation upgrade of China’s manufacturing industry. According to the latest industry report, the market scale of China’s automatic part aligner machines is expected to exceed 15 billion yuan by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of over 12%, and its penetration rate in the field of precision manufacturing is increasing at a rate of 8% per year.
The explosive growth of part aligner machines stems from the accurate solution to the pain points of traditional production. For a long time, the arrangement operations of hardware thin sheets, microelectronic components and other products have been trapped in the dilemma of “low efficiency, poor precision and high cost”, which has been easily resolved by part aligner machines.
Technological innovation is rewriting this pattern. Our part aligner machines, for example, are equipped with optical sensors or CCD vision systems, with an identification accuracy of ±0.05mm, ensuring the consistency of the direction and position of parts. Efficiency has also been greatly improved. Taking magnetic core arrangement as an example, it takes 2 minutes per piece for manual operation, while the part aligner machine only takes 15 seconds, and the hole entry rate is over 99%. Moreover, they have strong compatibility. By adjusting the program, they can be adapted to parts of different sizes and shapes, reducing the number of production line personnel from 6 to 1.
Industry experts point out that by 2028, the market scale is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan, and the application proportion of part aligner machines in high-end manufacturing fields such as new energy vehicles and biomedicine will be further increased. This transformation from “manual repetition” to “technological efficiency” is injecting new growth momentum into China’s manufacturing industry.
