Low-end machine tool manufacturers need to be transformed

With the global machinery market continuing to slump, the total output value of various types of machine tools has dropped drastically, and the reduction in new orders has also left a large number of factories and resources idle. The transition period for machine tool manufacturing is approaching, and the transformation needs of low-end manufacturing companies are particularly pressing.

First, the homogeneity of low-end machine tool manufacturing in China is serious, and the quality of products corresponding to the level of manufacturing technology has not been further improved. There is a big gap between the quality, work efficiency, and service life of imported machine tools. Second, the development of new raw materials is also one of the directions for future development. Machine tool manufacturing requires higher raw materials. Commonly used low-carbon cold-rolled steel sheets are commonly used. Third, in the cold winter, only the low-end machine tool sector, the market conditions of high-end machine tools have not been affected in the slightest, and the development trend is rather good.

According to the statistics of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, in 2011, China's imports of metal processing machine tools amounted to 13.24 billion US dollars, an increase of 40.6%. These imported machine tools are high-end machine tools and are mainly used in high-end equipment manufacturing. At the same time as the rapid development of the domestic machine tool industry, there are also some problems that need to be resolved. For example, the entire machine is dependent on imports, key functional components and core components rely on imports, especially the slow progress in the industrialization of CNC systems and functional components.

Experts pointed out that the backward performance of domestic high-end machine tools is mainly due to the fact that core technologies, advanced materials, etc. need to be imported from abroad. To reduce the gap between the core technology of China's high-end machine tools and the international advanced level, we should increase the degree of integration of production, research, and research, break through key technologies and awareness and motivation of key components, cultivate key technologies and high-end talents, increase investment in social capital, and improve basic research. Level, to expand the scale of industrialization, to ensure high-quality, high-level machine tool products.

Forward-looking network "high-end equipment manufacturing investment analysis and comments" pointed out that the current status of machine tool manufacturing is the microcosm of the entire machinery manufacturing industry in a difficult situation, it can be expected that China's machinery manufacturing industry will enter an important transition period. High quality, high efficiency and high end are the direction of transformation.
