CNC machine tool industry continues to climb rapidly

In recent years, thanks to the national environment for revitalizing the equipment manufacturing industry and strong market demand, the domestic machine tool industry has witnessed rapid technological development and high investment enthusiasm. The 12th Five-Year Plan has revitalized the equipment manufacturing industry as the main content to promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, and CNC machine tools have become one of the focuses of the revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry. In the future, China will focus on the development of high-speed, precision, composite CNC cutting machine tools; heavy CNC cutting machine tools; CNC special processing machine tools; large-scale CNC forming stamping equipment and related parts of CNC machine tools.

According to the data, in 2011, China produced 1,094,400 machine tools, achieving an industrial output value of 660.65 billion yuan, an increase of 32.1% year-on-year, of which 271,200 CNC machine tools, a growth rate of 15.26%, CNC machine tools have become the mainstream of machine tool consumption. In particular, high-end CNC machine tools belong to the high-end equipment manufacturing industry. They have the characteristics of high-tech content and high-tech added value, and are important focal points for the development of strategic emerging industries. In the future, the market for high-end CNC machine tools is huge. Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Mould, Hardware and Plastics Industry Suppliers Association, said that at present, users have a stronger demand for high-end products of CNC machine tools, which are highlighted in two aspects: First, the number is increasing rapidly. The proportion of CNC machine tools in the total consumption of machine tools has risen to above 60%, and will continue to rise rapidly during the 12th Five-Year Plan period.

On the other hand, the level of demand continues to increase. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, with the development of high-level new products in the key areas of the revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry, each field has put forward higher requirements for CNC machine tools. Such as the development of large-scale thermal power generation and nuclear power plants, the manufacture of large-scale chemical equipment, the development of large-scale marine transportation vessels, the development of large-scale thin-plate hot and cold continuous rolling complete sets of equipment, the development of high-speed trains, new types of subways, and rail transit vehicles, all require a large number of high-speed, precision, and high-efficiency. And special CNC machine tools to manufacture. The development of a new generation of weapons, ships, aircraft, satellites and missiles also places higher demands on CNC machine tools.

China has surpassed Germany to become the world’s largest machine tool market, and CNC machine tools have become the mainstream of machine tool consumption. The future of CNC machine tools is huge. Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Mould, Hardware and Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, stated that by 2015, the total assets of China's CNC machine tools industry will be expected to exceed 240 billion yuan, sales revenue will exceed 180 billion yuan, and total profit will reach 12 billion yuan, with an average annual increase over the previous year. Speed ​​is above 10%.

The technology of China's CNC machine tools will also be greatly improved. By the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the specialization of high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment will achieve a significant increase in the ability to independently innovate, master a large number of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and the overall level of technology will enter the international market. Firstly, when the mainframe, numerical control system and functional components are mid-scale and high-grade industrialization, China will develop a batch of key equipment with international advanced level, high-volume, precision vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes, etc. with large import volumes. The market share of products will increase significantly.
