Established in 1951, the spot welding team at a factory of Harbin Electric Machinery Company Limited now consists of nine members, five of them female. It is primarily responsible for the production of duct spacers for stator cores used in megawatt-level generators.
These spacers demand super high precision in their manufacturing, therefore deemed a significant technical challenge, but each female members on the spot welding team is capable of accomplishing 9,000 welding spots in about 60 spacers every day.
