Domestic Machine Tool Development Creates Opportunity to Come

Technological transformation is a big concept, including equipment transformation, process transformation, plant transformation, upgrading of detection methods, optimization of logistics systems, and selection of new materials, etc., which is a reform that is centered on the improvement of product development and manufacturing conditions. The equipment reform is divided into two parts, namely "buy new" and "change old." "Buy new", as its name implies, is to purchase new and advanced equipment. “To change the old” is to transform the old equipment into a new life, so as to continue and improve its function. In the transformation of equipment, the transformation of manufacturing equipment is the main part, and the transformation of machine tools is the most basic and most important link in the transformation of manufacturing equipment. For example, ordinary machine tools (non-CNC machine tools) will be transformed into CNC machine tools, small-sized machine tools will be converted into large-sized machine tools, and rough machining machines will be transformed into finishing machines. It can be seen that the machine tool as an "industrial machine" is the most basic link in the entire technological transformation.

Whether it is "buying a new one" or "changing the old one," technological transformation will undoubtedly play a positive role in the development of China's equipment manufacturing industry, especially in the current negative impact of the international financial crisis on the real economy, the cost-effective advantages of domestic equipment. Will be further highlighted. Similarly, in terms of machine tool transformation, it undoubtedly created a rare opportunity for the development of China's domestic CNC system and other functional components companies.

At present, the survey of more than 100 backbone machine tool companies in China shows that the numerical control rate of its machine tool equipment (calculated by the number of units) is about 14.6%, which is very different from that of foreign countries. It is still relatively common for machine tool companies to use roughing machine tools to make precision machine tools and use ordinary machine tools to manufacture high-end CNC machine tools. In addition, most common machine tools have serious safety hazards, so there is a lot of room for machine tool transformation and the necessity is also very prominent.
