It has taken 70% of the domestic market and has lay down or participated in laying down 23 national industry standards. The drafted industry standard for fine-pitch gear shapers was formally issued and implemented on October 1st last year. The minimum processing diameter of its knock-out products, the high-precision computer numerical control (CNC) fine-pitch gear shaper, is 0.15 millimeters and the accuracy is 5, reaching international advanced level. These high-precision and small module gears have been widely used in intelligent robots, aerospace projects and other high-precision projects. So far, the product has received more than 30 orders with the contract value amounting to more than 20 million yuan.

　　At present, China is promoting the transformation of our economy from a quantity economy into a quality economy. Leading by the “nose of the ox” has become a consensus reached in Yichang High-tech Zone (China (Hubei) Pilot Free Trade Zone Yichang Area) for quality control. The area continues to enforce policy incentives to guide enterprises to speed up transformation and upgrading in the tuning structure. The introduction in due course of the “ten golden policies” and “six innovative and entrepreneurial policies” and other policies encourages enterprises to innovate independently so as to gradually gain discourse power in international competitions.

　　Up to now, Yichang High-tech Zone (China(Hubei) Pilot Free Trade Zone Yichang Area) has gathered 152 high-tech enterprises and fostered a batch of individual champions in subdivided international and domestic industries, five of which are the first in the world, four of which are the first in Asia and three of which are the first in the country. National technical standards and industry norms drafted and revised by these enterprises and research institutes have been more than 60, and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements have been more than 1000. Yichang High-tech Zone (China (Hubei) Pilot Free Trade Zone Yichang Area) is actively leading enterprises to improve the international influence of “intelligent manufacturing in Yichang” with “Yichang standard”.
