China's machine tool industry development status

It is understood that narrowing the deficit and expanding the market share of national products is an inevitable process of revitalizing the machine tool and equipment industry. Since 2000, the deficit in the import and export trade of China's machine tool products has increased year by year.

According to the survey, the gap between Chinese and foreign machine tools is mainly reflected in three aspects: machining accuracy (25.2%), reliability (18.8%), internal electrical, gas, and control configurations (16.5%). The market share of high-end CNC machine tools is an important indicator to measure the competitiveness of domestic machine tool companies. The statistics for the first quarter show that China’s imports of machine tool products have increased by 61.9% year-on-year and have reached a record high.

"Although China's machine tool industry ranks first in the world, but overall, we still have a big gap, and there is still a long way to catch up with us step by step. To achieve a strong manufacturing country, our country must continue to carry out the industrial structure. Adjustments and continued independent innovation.” Luo Baihui, chief information officer of Jinmo Machine Tool Network pointed out that in the first half of 2012, China's machine tool industry still maintained a growth situation and became the world's largest machine tool manufacturing country. Although China has a very good industrial chain, it lacks the high-end machine tool products for excellence. At present, it is still the world's largest importer of machine tools, and high-end machine tools are mainly imported.

From the middle of August, China's machine tool products consumption index, compared with the previous consumer situation, the overall leveling. Among them, the drilling machine's attention from buyers is still high, with 28% of the attention ranked first in the machine tool products. Trampoline attention remains unabated, trampoline ranked 23rd in the search list second place. The punches, lathes, and milling machines received similar levels of attention in the middle of this month, and they were ranked three to four in the search chart with 17% and 16% of the attention.

With various policies, it also greatly encourages the development of machine tool companies, encourages continuous development in the crisis, and brings to China's CNC machine tools a good opportunity for development. Luo Baihui believes that there is a serious imbalance in the development of China's machine tool industry. The application of the performance in the automotive industry is that the production equipment of key engine components of major automobile factories in China is still mainly imported. At present, the value of imported equipment occupies 90% to 95% of the production of automobile engines in China. The tool used in engine production lines does not exceed 10%. Reducing the gap may be one of the directions for us to look forward to the future development path of the machine tool industry. Compared with imported equipment, the gap between domestic machine tools is mainly reflected in three aspects:

First, the lack of integration technology and the lack of integration of process systems and logistics systems into flexible manufacturing units or flow production lines;

Second, the reliability and stability of home-made machine tools have yet to be improved. Especially in the mass production model of automobiles, the contradiction is particularly prominent;

Third, the service provided by domestic enterprises to users still remains at the after-sales service stage, and the automotive industry generally requires the provision of overall process equipment solutions. These gaps and problems should be given full attention by domestic machine tool manufacturers.

“There are serious irrational phenomena in the industrial chain and industrial structure of the entire machine tool industry in China. Our CNC systems, functional components and tools have shown a serious lag with respect to the development of the mainframe. Compared to the mainframe, the CNC system, The functional components and tools are not satisfactory in terms of 'strong' and 'large', and there is still a big gap between the current world level and even the enterprises in Taiwan, which restricts the sustainable development of China's high-end CNC machine tools to some extent. , must lead to the relevant leaders attach great importance to.” Luo Baihui stressed that high-end CNC machine tools using imported CNC systems and functional components, do not master the core technology, seriously hampered the development of host manufacturing technology. In addition, the use of imported functional components and numerical control systems makes it difficult for OEMs to cut their prices. Therefore, although the product structure and quantity of domestic machine tools have been increased, profits have not been raised. This is an important reason. Therefore, improving the R&D capability and manufacturing level of functional components and accelerating the industrialization of functional components has become an urgent problem that needs urgent attention and resolution. It is also the top priority of industrial industrial structure adjustment.
