Chapter 292: There is a huge technological gap here.
The Staffin Group is a well-known manufacturer of watch parts in Swiss. This shopping center is dominated by luxury watches and Swiss jewelry and has the largest and most comprehensive clubhouse in China.
Then, designing a huge mechanical watch is also a good idea.
Xiao Jun disdains this. In addition to being practical, the building should also rise to the level of vision and feeling, starting from many aspects.
A watch, which itself does not match the architectural style of the shopping center.
The style of the building is based on the pastoral and natural winds, and the windmill can be well integrated.
a mechanical watch...
Xiao Jun doesn't care. The building belongs to others. He must do whatever they want.
As the proverb says, The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
The ideas that Knightley had come up with, almost gave the group of white-bearded old workers in the group a tearful tear.
If you make a big watch that can break the Guinness record, you must have a purely mechanical watch!
The craftsmen under the Stauffin Group have a high level of skill, and it is impossible to make a set out of nothing. They can process the mechanical parts of the supporting parts with a dial diameter of more than three meters.
Many cities have clock towers, but the large and motor-driven clocks have a simple structure with only a few dozen parts. The mechanical structure of London more than 100 years ago, because of the time error, the manufacturing process has been eliminated for nearly a hundred years.
Even if it is not eliminated, the mechanical structure between the two is completely different.
If Mr. Knightley’s father is not the president of the Staffin Group, the Master Craftsman will surely spit on his face.
Not so much, but old Knightley dotes on his eldest son too much.
He is very satisfied with his son's initiative to design the shopping center landmark in Huaxia. At the same time, it may also be due to the skill of the craftsmen, and he has approved the technical public relations of large mechanical watches.
It was hand-made without equipment, and a month later. The mechanical watch that was so large that it could apply for Guinness records was installed in the center of the square.
The windmill can rotate 360 degrees, which is the power source of an automatic chain.
This huge mechanical watch has been running successfully for three days, with an error of thirty seconds per day. I didn't know what happened the day before yesterday. Suddenly, the mechanical watch didn't go when it was running.
A group of watchmakers in the club were responsible for repairing the watchmaker's door. They studied the whole day and after a whole day's research, they didn't find out what was going on. So, they just left the pot to the chronicle studio.
It is said that they have a problem with the rotating structure of the windmill, and the precision is extremely poor, which affects the operation of the mechanical watch.
Xiao Jun, who has been pestered by those foreigners and has no temper, simply invites the Monster Heavy Industry to come here and let them see what is a Chinese without creativity can do!
The group of white-bearded old workers tearing down the huge mechanical watch in pieces. Facing the design drawings, one by one, they used micrometers, roundness meters to measure the accuracy of watch parts.
When Xiao Jun and the Master Craftsman came to the center of the indoor square. Mr. Knightley, with a bunch of white beard watchmakers who looked like masters, was tearing down the huge mechanical watch in pieces. Facing the design drawings, one by one, they used micrometers, roundness meters to measure the accuracy of watch parts.
"Mr. designer Xiao Jun can't your Chinese be more rigorous?" Seeing Xiao Jun, Mr. Knightley, the vice president, complained like a complaining woman: "look at the construction team you invited. The gap between the rotating tables of the windmill before was so large that you can put a pencil into it."
Knightley is speaking English, and Xiao Jun has been in several countries, and its English is naturally proficient.
After Knightley finished, he took a look at the Master Craftsman.
Wearing camouflage overalls, the Master Craftsman has a typical Loess peasant face, or he has malnutrition when he was a child.
The little old man ignored Knightley, and also the white beard masters who appeared in the TV commercials.
"Rigorous?" Xiao Jun's attitude is not good either. He has dealt with foreigners too many times and knows there are too many complacent people and there are too many imaginary prejudices against China.
“I was invited to participate in a hotel completion ceremony in the city of Seo in 2008. As a result of the final measurement, the location of the hotel is 30 cm away from the original reservation.”
Xiao Jun rolled his eyes and said: "I am sorry, the fourth tallest building in Germany, will there be such a serious error?"
“I asked the designer of the Atlantic Hotel later. He had an opinion on this error. The rigorous Germans said that the building was no better than the machinery. As long as the quality is qualified, some errors are very normal.”
More rigorous, Switzerland is naturally better than Germany.
Knightley moved the topic a little bit and asked Xiao Jun, who is this next to him?
"The technician of a machine manufacturing factory in Huaxia, he came to help you solve it. You have more than ten people, and they have been busy for two days, and they have not solved the mechanical and technical problems."
When Knightley heard Xiao Jun’s words, he almost burst to laugh into tears.
"There are 1200 processes to make a mechanical watch. To accurately file a watch, we need 254 parts."
"To make a mechanical watch, there are one thousand and two hundred processes, and two hundred and fifty-four parts needed to accurately grind a watch."
After laughing, Knightley put on a proud look: "The early timepieces have a time error of more than two minutes because of gravity. It is our Swiss watchmaker who invented the tourbillon to correct gravity. The error caused by the machine reduced the time to twenty seconds."
“In order to manufacture the world's largest mechanical watch, our group also deliberately designed a new set of balance wheels. And even the above-mentioned hairspring. Also innovatively used three layers of blue steel Breguet.
“It’s not about machine tool gears, and it’s making the largest and most sophisticated mechanical watch in history.”
"I don't think there is any problem with our design and the accuracy of the parts." A chubby old craftsman also said with a smile: "the problem should be on your windmill turntable. If it's not finished by then, we will really Remanufacture the windmill turntable ourselves."
Whether it's turning the knob on the chain or relying on the wrist to get the power of the mechanical watch, needs a source of power.
Just before the windmill, there is a rotating table to drive the windmill to rotate.
"Mr. Knightley, even if I am a layman, I can see the reason for your mechanical problems is not related to our rotary table." Xiao Jun was a little angry, and his logo design was changed. Now he still blames them.
“Even the gravity of the earth can affect the operation of the clock, let alone the rotary table?”
"Xiao designer, you don't know how to make precision machinery." Knightley pointed his finger at the Master Craftsman: "This technician should understand the technical gap. I can say responsibly China does not even have a factory that can manufacture a clock. Blue steel Breguet hairspring."
Xiao Jun translated the words again.
The Master Craftsman still has a light expression, similar to that of Knightley, who did not put him in his eyes.
Exquisite masters, from the beginning to the end, didn't regard them as the parts of the peak of precision manufacturing.
The group of white-bearded old workers from the beginning to the end did not see the parts that they regarded as the peak of precision manufacturing.
