Anyone engaged in the testing machine industry knows that the testing machine manufacturing industry is a very tough industry. Its hardships and difficulties are mainly reflected in the following aspects.

Firstly, there is a lack of high-end talent. Especially a shortage of high-end talents who possess comprehensive professional theoretical knowledge and rich practical testing experience. They need to be proficient in materials mechanics, mechanical structure, manufacturing processes, automatic control, software development, and be familiar with various testing standards. This not only requires learning a lot of knowledge but also long-term accumulation of experience. The development cycle of testing machine products is long and results are slow to show, and the industry generally has low income, making it difficult to attract high-end talent. Therefore, in the high-end instrument industry, testing machines always appear bulky and unattractive, and the value of the products is hard to reflect.

The second aspect is the difficulty in product upgrades and replacements, making it hard for companies to achieve sustained profit growth. A truly good model takes a very long time from design and development to prototype, then to validation testing, finalization, small batch production, and finally official product sales—usually several years or even longer. For example, the famous Japanese brand Shimadzu took seven to eight years to develop the AGX-V series electronic universal testing machine. It requires the cooperation of multidisciplinary composite talents and a lot of practical application knowledge and experience. As mentioned above, it involves materials science, mechanical processing, automatic control, software, various industry testing standards, testing processes, sample handling and processing, etc. After the product is released, it must undergo validation and trial use by customers in different industries, with continuous modifications and improvements in structure, functions, control, and data processing based on feedback. Without industry knowledge and rich experience accumulation, it is very difficult to complete the full development of a good model.

Secondly, it is very difficult for testing machine products to achieve large-scale production. Users are distributed across different industries, each with different product requirements. Generally, most production is made-to-order, belonging to relatively labor-intensive enterprises, which are indeed unsuitable for large-scale production. Therefore, costs are hard to reduce, and sales costs are extremely high. Thus, the testing machine industry is not an industry for making quick or big money. On one hand, it is difficult to attract particularly outstanding talents, and on the other hand, capital is not very interested in this hard-to-grow industry. Gathering excellent talents and developing high-end products to participate in international competition remains only a verbal goal.

Currently, the market clearly distinguishes between imported and domestic products in terms of price and performance, forming a generally accepted rule. Customers with sufficient funds who want high-end products only consider buying imported products, while those with limited budgets and lower requirements can only consider domestic products. There are many domestic brand manufacturers, often leading to vicious price competition. Since performance and quality are basically similar, who becomes the lucky one is not simply determined by product quality itself.

Additionally, testing machines themselves have many types of accessories, especially in recent years with a large increase in component testing. However, the increase in accessories mainly means more categories, and the production volume of each accessory for a manufacturer does not significantly increase. Sometimes only one or two pieces of a certain accessory are produced, with various costs very high, and the processes complicated and troublesome, making it difficult to ensure product quality. In recent years, many small factories producing accessories for main machine manufacturers have emerged, offering low prices but uneven quality and specifications (somewhat similar to the situation of auto parts factories years ago). This results in a single piece of equipment being assembled from multiple channels, making it quite difficult to ensure the overall performance stability and long-term reliability of the instrument delivered to customers.

Moreover, new problems often arise with sold products. Testing objects are becoming increasingly complex, so special fixture requirements keep increasing, testing standards change rapidly, and operators are not fixed, leading to frequent usage faults and other issues. Based on the above reasons, domestic testing machine manufacturers indeed find it very difficult to develop and grow, let alone reach international advanced levels. Realizing this problem, many companies have gradually begun to take steps to change this situation. Guangzhou Kunpeng Instrument Co., Ltd. was born against this backdrop. Its first market investment product is the BOYI2025 series electronic universal testing machine. It is believed that its first proposed "Three New Positioning" will bring a different feeling and impact to the market.

The development of testing machine products stems from a dream of the Kunpeng company's founding team. After many years immersed in the high-end testing machine sales market, they saw and participated in a stage dominated by a few international big brands. They divided most of China's high-end machine market, with few domestic products and brands appearing in this field. The Chinese employees in the company all saw this and felt anxious. Over time, the dream gradually formed and became clearer in everyone's hearts: to definitely make their own domestic high-end machine products and create their own famous brand! Most members of this R&D team have worked for many years in internationally renowned large companies in the testing machine field, possessing internationally advanced professional knowledge and experience, and have collaborated with internationally well-known experts to jointly develop this eye-catching product.

Internationally established large companies have strong technology, large scale, and long history, with comprehensive technical strength across many disciplines. In the testing machine industry, they can integrate many different technologies and equipment instruments to create a brand-new type of instrument. For example, Shimadzu of Japan produces SEM fatigue testing machines (scanning electron microscope combined with fatigue testing machine. During fatigue testing, through a tracking mechanism, the rapidly moving specimen surface can be displayed relatively stationary on the screen, allowing observation of crack formation and movement on the material surface with the naked eye); industrial CT combined with fatigue testing machines (layer-by-layer imaging of internal material changes and crack movements under dynamic force). These are far beyond what Chinese instrument companies can currently achieve. Even if some imitation or partial problem-solving is done, it is still far from reaching the level of a mature product.

Starting in a good environment, sticking to one's original intention, we believe that Chinese instrument companies will accelerate development. Especially with the country's emphasis, the entry of truly high-quality talents, and gradual acceptance in the high-end market, these improvements in the overall environment will also benefit our testing machine industry, which will surely catch up with the world level in the future. The goal pursued by us in the testing machine field will definitely be realized: to enable domestic companies to use world-class quality testing machine products at prices far lower than imported products, allowing these machines to contribute to enterprise progress, national development, and strength.
