"Chinese Dream: Craftsmen of Great Powers"
Original title:
Lu Ai Suo: Keep an ingenuity and compose the ultimate life
Jinyun News reporter Dong Lijing
Jinyun News: "Workaholic" in the eyes of my family, "big star of technology" in the eyes of my colleagues. Since working in the mechanical decoration department of Tianjin Tiantie Metallurgical Group Company for 33 years, Lu Ai has carried out countless technical research and operation method improvement to improve economic benefits with a craftsman's heart. He returned with a reputation, but he was willing to keep a plain and only did one thing in his life.
Lu Ai is in his own post
Down-to-earth and down-to-earth to the extreme
Lu Aisuo usually doesn't talk much, looks a little wooden, and when the Jinyun News reporter asked about equipment and technology, he opened the chatterbox. "As soon as we are workers, workers must do what workers should do, in a down-to-earth manner, not shouting, only in this way can we do what should be done to the extreme." Lu Ai said this and did so.
Last winter, the reducer slide of the hot rolling mill failed, and it was in urgent need of processing. However, this piece belongs to imported equipment, the processing accuracy requirements are very high, and the existing equipment in the workshop does not have the processing capacity at all. In the past, when encountering such problems, it was always necessary to ask the manufacturer to repair them, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive and delayed in the construction period.
"What foreigners can do, why can't we do it?" Lu Ai decided to try it for himself. After many studies and discussions, he and several colleagues finally came up with a temporary rescue measure. After more than 10 hours of hard work, at two o'clock in the morning, they finally processed 4 sliders, but unfortunately, after inspection, none of them were qualified!
Lu Ai Suo and his apprentices exchange skills together
Looking at the exhausted Lu Ai Institute, the workshop leader said: "If not, take a break and wait for dawn." Lu Ai thought that once the slider could not be made in time, the equipment would not be able to run in time, and every hour of delay meant that one hour of economic benefits would be lost! So, I put into intense thinking.
"This workpiece is not only a simple rework problem, but also the key is that the overall processing must design a proper set of overall tooling, otherwise the accuracy requirements cannot be guaranteed at all." After many comparisons and analysis, Lu Ai grasped the essence of the equipment. Regardless of fatigue, he devoted himself to the production of the whole set of tooling overnight.
After 20 hours of continuous work, a complete set of tooling was made, and under his careful organization, the workpiece was clamped and positioned, processed, and immediately implemented, and the result was better than imagined, not only the accuracy reached 100% guarantee, but also the efficiency was increased by more than 20 times!
"Remarkable! Your transformation has avoided the economic loss of 3 million yuan caused by the shutdown for the company. "The workers gave him a thumbs up!
Love to think, love to invent, love to "take apprentices" more
Lu Ai is a well-known "inventor", and one of his favorite sayings is "How do you know if it will work if you don't try?" "If others don't think about it, he will think more; What no one else has done, he tries hard.
Since the day of work, Lu Ai has been thinking about a problem: if the lathe drilling can achieve automatic drilling, it will save effort. After pondering this problem for nearly 30 years, this wish finally became a reality under his painstaking research: he successfully used a steel ring and a bolt to achieve a connection from manual to automatic drilling. This invention completely brought an end to the original traditional manual processing method.
Exchange experiences with apprentices
Over the past 33 years, Lu Ai has successively invented 7 advanced operation methods, such as hot roll repair positioning system and inner hole processing, sintering machine trolley axle lining processing, elastic internal support tooling, and series of mouth making jaws, which have increased the processing efficiency of spare parts by more than 3 times. In terms of technical research, he put forward the bold idea of processing the main cable slip ring at the steelmaking site, creating the most in the history of processing in the country.
A flower alone is not spring. Lu Ai's favorite thing is to share the various innovative projects he invented with everyone, and when other workshops come to learn from him, he will tell each other without reservation to achieve the sharing of technical achievements. Among the more than 30 technical achievements invented and created by Lu Ai, the cumulative direct or indirect economic benefits created reached more than 8 million yuan.
Today, Lu Aisuo, which has excellent technology and is full of honors, has become a sought-after "fragrant food", and many units have extended "olive branches" to him, but he still sticks to his inner plainness, insists on his dreams, and "only does one thing in his life" has become his true portrayal. Persistence, perseverance, practicality, innovation... Lu Ai Suo has imprinted the "spirit of craftsmanship" in his heart.
