Domestic machine tools will sprint into the high-end market

In recent years, with the rapid growth in the demand for major equipment manufacturing industries such as defense, aviation, high-speed railways, automobiles, and molds, China's CNC machine tools have also achieved rapid development, and CNC machine tools have become faster, more complex, sophisticated, and multi-axis. Other areas have made significant progress and a series of breakthroughs. However, there is still a large gap between CNC machines in foreign countries in accuracy and reliability.

The level, variety, and production capacity of CNC machine tools directly reflect the overall strength of a country's industry, and the birth of CNC machine tools in China is slightly behind that of the United States and Germany. After nearly half of the world's development, CNC machine tools in China are lagging far behind Germany. In the United States, Japan, and other countries, domestically-manufactured CNC machine tools mainly consist of low-end economical models and mid-range popularized CNC machine tools. 70% to 80% of the market share of CNC machine tools and 90% of CNC systems (popular and advanced models) are occupied by foreign companies. .

At present, among the CNC machine tools, Chinese companies have certain strengths in low-end and high-end products. However, high-end CNC machine tools are still short, and high-end CNC machine tools are necessary for the four major fields of aerospace, automobiles, ships, and power generation equipment manufacturing. The necessary upgrades, despite the implementation of the "high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment," a major science and technology projects, and plans to 2020 four major areas of high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment to 80% of the domestic, but only Jiji A large-scale, high-efficiency, CNC automatic stamping production line for a machine tool has successfully achieved commercialization, and key components and high-end numerical control systems still need to continue their efforts.

In 2014, the country will continue to grow steadily and adjust its structure. Under this general environment, the CNC machine tool industry must adjust the existing industrial structure, and build high-end products on the basis of existing achievements in the mid-end. On the one hand, it needs to face foreign products and joint venture products. Squeeze the competitive pressures in the domestic mid-range market. On the other hand, we must increase R&D, squeeze into the high-end market, and get rid of the grim situation hampered by people.

In terms of R&D, the company implements innovative development strategies based on the country's existing special support, with the theme of the enterprise and innovation as the driving force. Given that the machine tool is an industry with large investment and low efficiency, it cannot be achieved only through the efforts of the enterprise itself. Many companies participate in common technology research and development, and at the same time introduce scientific research institutions to participate in the implementation of public-private partnerships (PPP) to promote research and development; the national level needs to increase basic research investment and R & D personnel training.

In 2014, China's CNC machine tools will develop steadily on the basis of 2013. It is expected that the output of CNC machine tools will increase slightly, import demand will continue to be large, but demand will be more biased towards high-end products, while mid-range products will implement local marketization services abroad. It will also increase afterwards.
