"Transformation and Upgrading" has become a hot topic and theme of the machine tool industry

Chen Huiren, deputy secretary-general of China Machine Tool Industry Association, said: "In the past 10 years, the continuous development of China's machine tool industry, due to the continuous expansion of the number and scale, its quality and quality continue to decline, resulting in a number of contradictions, and therefore need to be transformed upgrade."

At the CCMT2012 exhibition, industry experts proposed that China has the largest number of machine tool manufacturers in the world, but it lacks the well-known multinational machine tool group and world-class “fine, special, and special” small giants. For a long time, domestic CNC machine tools have been rapidly expanding at a low level, with slow progress in the mid-range, high-grade dependence on imports. The situation of the Chinese machine tool industry is still large but not strong, and product quality, technology, and service are still far from the international advanced level. According to the China Machine Tool Network | Outrigger, at present, the high-end CNC machine tools required for China's economic construction and key projects mainly rely on imports. The domestic market share of domestically-made mid-range CNC systems is only 5%, and the numerical control system required for high-end CNC machine tools is 95. % comes from abroad, and the domestic market share of functional components is about 30%.

According to the analysis, the proportion of high-, medium-, and low-end machine tool consumption in China's CNC machine tool market is about 5:5:4.5 in consumption, and about 15:7:15 in consumption. The domestic demand for high-end and mid-range machine tools has surpassed that of low-end machine tools both in terms of consumption and consumption. Correspondingly, the pace of domestic machine tool product adjustment is still not fast enough and timely. The domestic market share of domestic CNC machine tools is only 27%, and the product composition is mostly based on the low profile. For example, 70% of CNC machine tools are economical CNC machine tools controlled by a single board machine. More than 80% of electric machine tools are economical. These two types of CNC machine tools account for more than half of the output of CNC machine tools in China. Although five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, CNC super-heavy-duty machine tools and other high-end machine tools and machining centers are also produced, but the number is less than 1,000, and the manufacturing cost is high. The annual output of machining centers in countries with advanced machine tool manufacturing, such as Germany and Japan, is more than 10,000 sets, which is 20-30 times that of China.

In 2011, China's imports of machine tool products remained high, partly because of the accelerated transformation and upgrading of the country’s economic structure, the rapid increase in the demand for machine tool products in the domestic market, and the technological innovation and product structure of the machine tool industry. Adjustment can not keep up with the pace of market demand level upgrade, the market competitiveness of domestic high-end machine tool products needs to be improved.

According to Guan Xiyou, president of the China Machine Tool Industry Association and chairman of the Shenyang Machine Tool Group, China has become the world’s largest machine tool consumer and the largest importer in the world for 10 consecutive years. The development of high-performance numerical control systems and functional components lags behind the mainframe, and the inability to independently innovate has seriously hampered China's move from a machine tool power to a machine tool power.

Chen Guilin, chief technologist of Xi'an Aeronautical Power Company, pointed out that the current machine tool design and innovation capability can not meet the needs of the aviation manufacturing industry, making users have to seek foreign manufacturers, such as the overall blade processing, blade processing, professional broach grinding, composite processing Equipment and special processing equipment. There is no mature and reliable CNC system. The domestic CNC system only maintains a corresponding market share in general electric processing equipment. Therefore, the transformation and upgrading of the machine tool industry is imminent.

Chen Huiren said that "transition and upgrading" is an inevitable choice for China's machine tool companies to become bigger and stronger. He believes that it is not enough to satisfy the transformation and upgrading only if it can be done. It is necessary to achieve the upgrading and leapfrogging from “can do” to “do a good job”; it is not enough to only make certain products, and it is necessary to provide users with complete solutions. Capacity; only technical means is not enough, and the overall quality of the enterprise needs to be fully upgraded; only the adjustment of products and markets is not enough, and the adjustment of the internal specialization structure of the industry is required; it is not enough to consider only the technical and economic elements, and it needs the enterprise. Institutional and cultural innovations and upgrades.
