[Enterprise Report] Xuelong CNC: Striving Ahead an
PCB Nettown News: At the just concluded 2017 HKPCA Show, Xuelong CNC sent us a signal that in terms of technology research and development and new product development, Xuelong has been concentrating on layout and preparing for further development of domestic equipment, "overtaking at corners.".
As a PCB equipment factory, Xuelong CNC is just in line with the theme of this HKPCA SHOW: "Wisdom Collection, Field Success". It has always invested huge human and material resources in scientific research and technology, and adheres to the spirit of dedicated research to make breakthroughs in the field of equipment manufacturing!

Challenge "Overtaking on Curves" with Technology Research and Development
Xuelong CNC Equipment (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was officially established in 2000, and is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and development, manufacturing, and sales of CNC drilling and milling equipment; The overall strength of the company is strong: over 50% of college graduates, and over 15% of engineering and technical personnel with more than 10 years of experience in the PCB industry. Relying on its own hardware and software R&D and manufacturing team, its production of professional CNC equipment such as multi-axis high-speed drilling and molding machines, two-dimensional code dedicated drilling machines, CCD compensation molding machines, and deep control high-speed molding machines has been recognized by many PCB companies in the industry in recent years, occupying a place in the field of domestic equipment manufacturing. Today, more than a decade later, with the rise and explosion of domestic private enterprises, it is bound to drive domestic equipment manufacturing enterprises to surpass. Following the trend of automation, Xuelong CNC has actively deployed and dreams of achieving "curve overtaking" of state-owned PCB equipment in the context of Industry 4.0.
Chairman Huang Renlong, who majored in computer science and has a background in equipment management, believes that it is precisely because of his technical background and knowledge of hardware and software that "he knows to what extent he can achieve it." In the field of PCB equipment, there are already ten large and small brand enterprises at home and abroad competing on the same platform, but he is "confident" about the future of domestic equipment. As a private small and medium-sized enterprise, how can Xuelong CNC achieve differentiated competition, technology leadership, and even surpass foreign enterprises, serving the upgrading and development of the domestic PCB industry?s industrial chain?
Of course, it is to focus on the role of research forces and research teams. Chairman Huang Renlong mentioned that his scientific research team was very satisfied, "More than ten people in our core team are all elders of Xuelong CNC. Over the past decade, we have grown together with the company... The stability of our research and development team can be affirmed.". Moreover, the computer profession has also made Chairman Huang Renlong understand the importance of independent development of system software, and is more able to meet customer needs and continuously improve. "The programs needed for early equipment were all written by themselves, and where improvements are needed, they will be corrected immediately on site.". It is precisely this experience that Chairman Huang Renlong has great confidence in Xuelong?s technology. Just as there has been a cooperation project with a leading domestic PCB enterprise in recent years, when there is no suitable equipment supplier that can meet the project requirements, Xuelong stands out. With such strength and ability, Xuelong has once again completed a phased step.

Prepare products to stay close to market customers
Speaking of the current products, Chairman Huang Renlong concluded that there are two outstanding aspects.
"First, aiming at large manufacturers in the market, we have launched a series of products such as large mesa molding machines and drilling machines. In response to the current trend of large panel assembly in PCB enterprises, we have assisted PCB manufacturers in improving efficiency, improving quality, and increasing production capacity. For example, we have launched an XL-L6H-B molding machine with a maximum processing range of 660X750mm. Second, in response to market trends and the need for soft panel production, we have introduced drilling machines with low vibration, strong rigidity, and stable performance." "Molding Machine Series Products".
These two major characteristics are the practical application of "giving customers what they want", which Chairman Huang Renlong has always advocated. He firmly believes that in the development process of the enterprise, it is necessary to win the confidence of customers. He also added that it is necessary to have a clear goal suitable for the development of the stage. Currently, it is still consolidating the customer base, but in the future, the focus will be on technological innovation and breakthroughs to achieve market substitution of domestic equipment for foreign capital.
In addition to the products at the exhibition, Xuelong CNC also launched a series of products for PCB drilling and milling machines (deep control molding machine series, soft plate processing series, aluminum substrate processing series, molding machine series, drilling machine series), PCB target machines (punching series, drilling target series), two-dimensional code special drilling machines, CCD compensation molding machines, and other aspects:
Flexible plate processing series——XL-Z6F-K
Flexible plate professional drilling machine is a high-tech CNC product designed specifically for soft plate drilling. It has the characteristics of small size, high accuracy, fast speed, small vibration, strong rigidity, stable performance, complete functions, and high cost performance.
XL-Z6F-K
Aluminum substrate processing series——XL-Z4L
The aluminum substrate professional high-speed drilling machine is a high-tech CNC product designed specifically for drilling aluminum substrates. Featuring small size, high accuracy, fast speed, small vibration, strong rigidity, stable performance, complete functions, and high cost performance, the specially tailored cooling device for aluminum substrate drilling has achieved fully automatic switching and precise positioning spray during the processing process, greatly improving the quality and efficiency of aluminum substrate drilling, avoiding the phenomenon of knife breakage and burning caused by aluminum chips sticking to the knife, reducing tool wear, and maximizing the saving of cooling materials.

Clear goals, take steps beyond
As a "grassroots enterprise", how should we view competition with large enterprises, and how should we find ways to compete differently? Huang Dong believes that small and medium-sized enterprises, even in the domestic industry, should learn to find their own advantages and achieve "overtaking on curves.". Because when facing a strong opponent, you may have insufficient resources in some aspects, but there must also be advantages! "So it?s important to recognize your own strengths, identify your weaknesses, and be fully prepared.". Only by starting with a solid and reliable start can we improve our strength and accumulate brands more quickly. Chairman Huang Renlong agrees with the idea that "equipment localization is the trend", just as small and medium-sized enterprises will also catch up.
In his future plans, Chairman Huang Renlong said that in the past few years, he would indeed pay more attention to technology, but this also made him see clearly that the market is indeed a problem that needs to be managed. "We need to listen to the voice of enterprises and understand what they are doing and thinking, in order to better assist them in achieving their goals... Only by staying with customers regularly can we know what the market really wants.". At the same time, he adhered to the code of conduct of "do it first, then" and gradually realized Xuelong?s goals in a pragmatic spirit!
