Three Decades of Expertise and Innovation: China's Global Leadership in Metal Joining Technology
What defines a true leader in China's metal joining technology? It requires a robust manufacturing foundation, encompassing advanced production facilities, exceptional R&D capabilities, stringent quality control systems, and comprehensive market coverage. This is Guangzhou Heron Intelligent Equipment. Beginning as a small workshop in 1991, the company has evolved into a national-level "little giant" enterprise, now operating from a 54,000 square meter modern facility with a team of nearly 100+ professional engineers. Guided by its mission of being "professional, innovative, and reliable," Heron has shaped the legacy of China's welding equipment industry over more than three decades.
The company possesses advanced machining capabilities, R&D centers, and process research and testing equipment, forming a comprehensive resistance welding equipment manufacturing system. Core manufacturing capabilities include:
- Independent production of key components such as transformers and controllers to ensure product quality and supply stability.
- Advanced testing equipment, including servo universal material testing machines, ground resistance testers, metallographic equipment, and image measuring instruments.
- Utilization of advanced management systems such as ERP, CRM, and PDM to achieve digital, intelligent, and refined enterprise management.
2. Core Technology Patents: Bridging Domestic Gaps and Leading Industry Innovation
Heron holds 123 national patents, including 70 utility model patents and 30 invention patents. Our technologies span capacitor energy storage, medium frequency inverters, automated welding processes, and other fields. Key innovations include:
- Capacitor Energy Storage Resistance Welding Technology: The first high-power, new-energy storage welding machine in China, with a maximum welding capacity of 150kJ. This breakthrough fills a domestic gap, replaces imports, and has been recognized as internationally advanced.
- Medium Frequency Inverter DC Welding Technology: Solves welding challenges for high-temperature alloys and copper to steel dissimilar metals, offering a novel process for conductive bus bars in frame circuit breakers.
- FSPR Flush Self-Piercing Riveting Technology: An innovative solution for the automotive industry, enabling connections for difficult-to-weld lightweight materials like die-cast aluminum and magnesium.
- HRC650 Real-Time Quality Monitoring System: Developed in-house, this system enables real-time digital monitoring and feedback for welding processes, advancing resistance welding into the digital era.
3. Deep Integration of Industry, Academia, and Research: Collaborative Laboratory Establishment with National Key Universities
The founder brings academic expertise from Harbin Institute of Technology's welding program. Guangzhou Heron Intelligent Equipment partnered with Harbin Institute of Technology to establish the "Intelligent Resistance Welding Joint Laboratory," creating an operational model that seamlessly integrates industry, academia, and research. Collaborative R&D projects include high-power energy storage welding machine structural design and real-time welding quality monitoring technology. These efforts have yielded multiple patents and jointly led the development of industry group standards and enterprise standards.
