1, industrial machine: the cornerstone of high-end equipment manufacturing

A machine tool is a machine that processes blanks or workpieces of metal or other materials to obtain the required geometry, dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Machine tool is the machine that makes the machine, which is the main feature of the machine tool that is different from other machines, so the machine tool is also called the industrial mother machine. CNC machine tool is a machine tool that uses digital information to control the movement of the machine tool and its processing process. It is a modern mechatronics equipment with high efficiency, high precision, high flexibility and high automation. According to the material processing method, the industrial mother machine can be divided into metal cutting machine tools, metal forming machine tools, special processing machine tools. Among them, the metal cutting machine tools include single function machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, as well as machining centers with tool libraries and automatic tool changing devices, so that a variety of different machining operations can be realized.

Precision parts mainly include spindle unit and lead screw, wire rail, bearing and other transmission parts, functional parts mainly include CNC rotary table, tool library, manipulator, gear box, milling head, tool holder and so on. Numerical control system includes driving device, control and detection device, etc. The downstream use of CNC machine tools is very wide, covering many important areas of the national economy, such as aerospace, mechanical equipment and so on.

At present, China’s low-end CNC machine tools are basically self-sufficient, and the mid-end CNC machine tools are basically replaced by domestic production, but the localization rate of high-end CNC machine tools is still at a low level. According to Corde numerical control announcement, as of the end of 2022, the domestic high-end machine tool localization rate is less than 10%. According to the data of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, the CNC rate of metal cutting machine tools in 2023 is 45.5%. In developed countries, the CNC rate of Japanese machine tools is maintained at more than 80%, and the CNC rate of machine tools in the United States and Germany is more than 70%, compared with the domestic machine tool numerical control rate.

TVD1.3-15-03 The current domestic machine tool industry can be roughly divided into three echelons, of which: the first echelon: a long history, the strength of foreign enterprises, the main business is high-end CNC machine tools, such as Japan’s Yamazaki Mazak, Germany TrumPF, Demagissen precision machine, the United States Mag and so on. At present, most of them are through investment or joint ventures in China; The second tier: domestic first start, and have a certain technical strength, financial strength and brand influence of private enterprises and state-owned enterprises. From the earliest state-owned enterprises “18 Arhats”, to now such as Haitian Seiko, Genesis, Newey numerical control and other new main force private enterprises; The third echelon: small scale, low technology content of the main low-end CNC machine tools of small private enterprises. The product price is cheap, the product processing precision requirements are not high, mainly used in general civilian products, automotive parts rough processing and other fields.
