Tongda reports that its TD series intelligent blow molding equipment for furniture-frame production passed a scientific and technological achievement appraisal, with approval dated April 29, 2026. Jointly developed with Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, the equipment was assessed through an appraisal organized by the Jiangsu Machinery Industry Association.
Tongda published its account on May 15, 2026. The report concerns the development and evaluation of an integrated furniture-frame production system, including mold handling, forming control and production-data management.
Appraisal date, partners and scope
| Item | Details reported by Tongda |
|---|---|
| Equipment assessed | TD series intelligent blow molding equipment for furniture-frame production |
| Development partners | Suzhou Tongda Machinery and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology |
| Appraisal organizer | Jiangsu Machinery Industry Association |
| Approval date | April 29, 2026 |
| Assessment location | Tongda’s Chuangxing Road plant in Zhangjiagang |
| Company announcement | May 15, 2026, through Tongda’s WeChat account |
The appraisal concerns the equipment-development project. Its scope should be distinguished from the qualification of a finished sofa or other furniture product, which also depends on the product design and final assembly.
What the expert panel reviewed
According to Tongda’s account, a five-member expert panel heard the project team’s technical report, reviewed supporting documents, inspected the equipment on site and conducted a question-and-answer session. The company reports that the panel approved the appraisal and assessed the overall technology as reaching an “internationally advanced” level.
That assessment is attributed to the reported appraisal. The complete certificate and supporting technical report define the scope and basis of the evaluation; the wording does not establish identical performance for every delivered configuration.
Technical functions described in the project
The announcement presents the TD system as coordinating several stages of furniture-frame production:
- Mold storage and changeover: an integrated approach to transferring, positioning and clamping large tools, including a magnetic quick-change system.
- Forming control: heavy-duty platens and closed-loop wall-thickness control for the molding stage.
- Production-data management: an industrial edge-computing platform for collecting process data, issuing fault warnings and supporting energy management.
Together, these functions describe the project’s system-level development focus. Tongda’s announcement also includes comparative performance and economic estimates. Those figures depend on the source’s test conditions and comparison basis, so they are not presented here as guaranteed results for another installation.
How this differs from the TDBX-2000A sofa-frame project
This news item records the TD system’s reported appraisal, its participants and the technical functions described in the announcement. The separate TDBX-2000A sofa-frame article covers application planning, assembly interfaces, tooling access and production trials. The two reports do not establish that they refer to the same machine configuration.
