However, with the development of modern science and technology, the actual requirements of modern mechanical manufacturing technology and precision machining technology are gradually improving, forcing the current enterprises to make appropriate adjustments in combination with the actual requirements of modern industrial production. Therefore, under the requirements of current production management, this paper makes a comprehensive analysis and exploration of the relationship between modern mechanical manufacturing technology and precision processing technology, further combs out the practical problems existing in the whole industrial production of modern mechanical manufacturing technology and precision processing technology, and judges the relevant contents involved in the modern mechanical manufacturing and processing technology, in order to promote the transformation of industrial production mode and improve the overall quality of industrial production management in our country.展开更多

The results of initial dynamic calibration tests showed a significant and systematic difference between the application rates of the two discs （about 20%）. This difference had to be corrected by the manufacturer that carried out the necessary changes to the electric actuators. The fertilizer spreader had good distribution homogeneity, considering different working velocities and different positions in the parcel. The pattern distribution curve for 18% super phosphate fertilizer led to an effective working width of 28 meters, with a coefficient of variation of 15%. The longitudinal test, under experimental working conditions led to a machine delay time of 6-7 seconds. The results show an actual fertilization application density between 74%-90% of that determined for each location. These results confirm that the spreader can be used to spread fertilizer differentially in the field.展开更多
