At present our country market focus potentiometer with switch manufacturers less, less development of new products, mostly produced by conventional, even twenty or thirty years of changeless single models, more do not talk to develop series of products required by the market. Investigate its reason and the potentiometer industry current situation about:
(1) the potentiometer is a low technology, labor density based components industry, it is very difficult to get the government's preferential and support. The original large state-owned enterprises, now almost can not see their products. Ninety time overseas manufacturers in recent years also gradually withdrew from the domestic market or moved overseas.
(2) as the basic components for wide application market demand is huge. The Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta in China has a large number of potentiometers enterprise, but its development and the state of the economy is very lopsided. Due to the low threshold, mill type assembly to emerge as the times require, what models sold to do model, parts of all outside buy, a few small punch and simple assembling mold can mount a horse. Cause product quality not incomplete, disorderly competition in the increasingly thin profits, together with the labor cost rises sharply, unprofitable enterprises, not to talk about the investment on R & D of new products.
(3) the labor cost for the potentiometer industry cost is big, in recent years, some manufacturers to develop certain product process automation assembly line, generally have a payback period of five years, and the new development of the assembly line is not mature, become the chicken industry. At the same time, because the assembly line is a process, a device, and the production of one type of potential products at least seven or eight processes more than ten procedure, different models of product parts and components are not compatible. So in recent years some powerful enterprises to invest in a two process automation assembly line after it and step back. Investment and reap disproportionate, brings to enterprises not willing to run the risk of investment, so the situation is still the most enterprise still uses the original extensive mode of production, which is good to do just do which money, avoid failure, reduce risk, there is no long-term plan.
