Demand for small precision motors grows Automated production helps industry reduce costs and increase efficiency

With the rapid development of consumer electronics, medical equipment, micro drive and other fields, the market demand for small precision motors is ushering in an explosive period. According to industry statistics, in 2025 the global micro-motor market, China contributed more than 30% of the share, becoming the world's largest production base for small precision motors. In the face of growing market demand and ever-increasing precision requirements, the traditional manual production model has been unsustainable, automated production is becoming the industry's core path to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

The manufacture of small precision motors has long faced the “small, precise, miscellaneous” characteristics: small product size, assembly precision requirements, and downstream demand for small batch, multi-batch characteristics, which makes it difficult to adapt to the traditional large-scale assembly line production model, most of the small and medium-sized enterprises rely on the mode of manual assembly, not only the high cost of labor, but also difficult to guarantee the consistency of the product. Product consistency is also difficult to guarantee. In recent years, with the maturity of flexible automation technology, this situation is being changed. Automated production has brought about a significant effect of cost reduction and efficiency. According to industry estimates, a small precision motor automated assembly line, can replace 20-30 operators, according to the per capita salary of 100,000 yuan per year, a single line can save 200-300 million yuan per year in labor costs.

At the same time, the precise control of automated equipment, but also significantly reduce the waste of materials: laser solder ball welding tin utilization rate from the traditional process of 60% to 95%, winding machine wire breakage rate from manual 5% to 0.1%, enameled wire loss reduced by 98%, which for the raw material cost accounted for more than 45% of small motor This is undoubtedly a huge cost optimization for the small motor industry, where raw material costs account for more than 45%. At the same time, automated production also brings the double improvement of product quality and efficiency. Ruramate for home appliance companies to build small motor automation line, for example, the production line of the production beat reached 17 seconds / piece, the yield rate of 99.7%, compared with the traditional production line, the unit area capacity increased by 50%, and only 2 people can be guarded operation. In Jiangsu Leili's intelligent factory, through the deployment of automated production lines, the daily production capacity of a single line has been increased to 12,000 units, the defective rate of products has been reduced from 1.8% to 0.45%, and the output value per capita has been increased by more than 40%.

In addition, the application of flexible automation technology also solves the pain point of small motor industry's production of multiple varieties and small batch. Modular production line design, can support 15 minutes to complete the production of different models of products switching, compatible with more than 8 kinds of product specifications, not only to meet the customization needs of downstream customers, but also to achieve the cost advantage of large-scale production. Industry insiders said that with the continuous upgrading of downstream demand, small precision motor industry automation transformation demand is still rapidly released, it is expected that by 2026, the penetration rate of automated production lines in the industry will be more than 70%, which will promote the transformation of the entire industry to the direction of high quality and high efficiency, and help domestic small motors in the global market competitiveness to further enhance. Enhancement.
