China's CNC Machine Tool Technology Ranks in the World

Recently, the 15th China International Industry Fair opened in Shanghai. The exhibition aims to focus on China's industrial intelligent, digital, green development of advanced manufacturing technology, and press the cutting machine tools, metal forming and machine tool functional components and other product categories focus Show.

On July 12, 1983, the State Council promulgated the "Decision on Grasping the Development of Major Technical Equipment." Over the past 30 years, China's equipment manufacturing industry has achieved rapid development and remarkable achievements have been made. Millions of kilowatts of hydropower generating units, UHV power transmission and transformation equipment, continuous casting and rolling complete sets of equipment, one million tons of ethylene complete sets of equipment, offshore oil drilling platforms, high-speed EMU and a number of major technical equipment has achieved remarkable achievements. Both are the support of China's continuous improvement of the level of CNC machine tools.

With the continuous advancement of computer technology, all major countries in the world are aware of the status of CNC machine tools for the entire industry, especially in response to the international financial crisis, they have adjusted the industrial policy of CNC machine tools, competing to develop high-end CNC machine tools to promote industrial and The development of the national economy.

"Since 2000, driven by huge market demand, domestic CNC machine tools have grown at an average annual rate of 30%. Since 2003, China has become the world's largest machine tool consumer, and it is currently the world's largest importer of CNC machine tools. Luo Baihui, a researcher at the China International Economic Development Research Center, said recently that at present, China is in the peak period of equipment replacement and the critical period of industrial upgrading, and the demand for CNC machine tools, especially high-end CNC machine tools, will still be maintained at more than 30%. With high growth levels, it is expected that this growth rate will remain for 35 years.

"In the 12th Five-Year Plan period, special CNC machine tools will enter into key challenges to overcome difficulties, master core technologies, and ensure innovation and development and key leapfrogging." Wang Fuchang, director of the Department of Equipment Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, once said that the next five years Will focus on strength, focus on goals, and break key key technologies.

“At the same time, focus on the numerical control system and functional components, but also pay attention to the combination with the host.” Wang Fuchang said that in the next five years, it will adhere to the market demand-oriented, focusing on key areas and other major scientific and technological projects Demand is deployed to focus on solving the core technical issues of CNC systems, functional components, and tools that restrict the development of the industry, and to realize the coordinated development of the host and components.

Luo Baihui believes that the development of China's machine tool industry can be divided into two steps: by 2015, China's production of high-end CNC machine tools will basically meet domestic needs, and product performance will basically reach the international advanced level; by 2020, a complete industrial chain of CNC machine tools will be formed. The CNC system and functional components and other accessories basically meet the needs of the domestic host. Domestic high-end CNC machine tools occupy a dominant position in the domestic market (machine tools, valves, and pumps), and have several machine tool companies (groups) that have mastered core intellectual property rights, have international competitiveness and influence, and have achieved great power production from machine tool manufacturing countries to machine tools. change.

It is reported that in order to expand its market share in China, world-famous machine tool companies have distributors and production bases in China. Such as the United States Harding company, specializing in the production of small CNC lathes and machining centers, the rapid expansion of production capacity in China in recent years, plans to increase from the monthly production of 100 to 300, and throughout the country to set up more than 10 with 4S shop nature of the sales service shop . Beijing Fanuc joint venture company in China in recent years the highest annual output of 52,000 sets of various CNC systems and servo, spindle system, is now ready to carry out a new phase of the project, reaching 20,000 units per month capacity, and market segments, Secondary development, increase the corresponding sales service personnel.

It is understood that although China’s large-scale machine tool manufacturers rank top in international machine tool companies, such as Shenyang Machine Tool Group ranked first, Dalian Machine Tool Group ranked fourth. On the surface, China's machine tool industry has leapt to the top of the world, but the per capita profitability is very different from that of foreign countries. The German DMG company, which is in the top 10 in the world, is composed of three machine tool factories. Each factory only has Two or three hundred people or slightly more, in total there are nearly a thousand employees, and Shenyang Machine Tool Group, Dalian Machine Tool Group has tens of thousands of employees at every turn.

"Most companies in the current machine tool industry rely on lowering product prices to gain market access. The consequences are low product prices, low added value, and low profits. Companies do not have enough funds to continue to develop." Luo Baihui pointed out that with the development of the industry And the upgrading of competition, improve product technology content, with independent patents, design, focus on brand building and marketing is the best choice for long-term business development.

An industry source stated that the development of China's machine tool industry needs to be guided by market demand, with the development of CNC machine tools as the leading tool, the host as the leader, and the improvement of supporting equipment as the foundation. The company will strive to realize the realization of CNC machine tool products from low-end to high-end products and primary products as soon as possible. The shift to high-precision product manufacturing.

According to Wang Fuchang, at the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, special projects for high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment will achieve significant improvement in independent innovation capabilities, master a large number of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and the overall technical level will enter the international advanced ranks; , CNC systems, functional components "mid-scale large-scale, high-end industrialization" will be able to achieve, China will develop a number of key equipment with international advanced level; import high-speed, precision vertical horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes and other products Market share will increase significantly.

“We will achieve the goal of increasing the domestic market share of middle-to-high-end CNC systems to 50%.” Wang Fuchang said that high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment required by high-end industries such as aerospace, marine, automotive and power generation equipment manufacturing will achieve 80 % can be based in the country.
