Innovative machine tool industry can lead the market

At the time of China's economic restructuring and industrial transformation and upgrading, the machine tool business is under various pressures, and only those companies that have taken the lead in R&D and innovation can lead the market demand, adapt to the needs of industrial upgrading, and gain momentum for sustainable development.

As we all know, China's manufacturing industry as a world factory, from manufacturing in China to the difficult advancement of China's creation, China's manufacturing industry as a whole is in the middle and low end of the global value chain, these phenomena have fully demonstrated that China is a serious manufacturing country rather than a manufacturing power fact.

There is a clear gap between China's machine tool industry enterprises and the world's advanced enterprises. At present, 90% of CNC systems in China need to be imported. Although some domestic CNC system manufacturers have mastered key technologies such as multi-axis linkage and RTCP (rotary tool center point) three-dimensional tool compensation, the high-end numerical control system developed in comparison with foreign products is in terms of processing accuracy, reliability, and stability. There is still a big gap. It is also understood that in order to ensure product quality, Shanghai Volkswagen uses imported grinders to process automotive parts and components; this also shows from a side that China is a big machine tool country, not a machine tool powerhouse.

Although China's machine tool industry has achieved leapfrog development in a short span of several decades, the gap still exists and its core competitiveness is still insufficient. Researcher Luo Baihui believes that forward-thinking companies should pursue sustainable and healthy growth with superior quality in order to adapt to industrial upgrading. At the time of China's economic restructuring and industrial transformation and upgrading, the machine tool business is under various pressures, and only those companies that have taken the lead in R&D and innovation can lead the market demand, adapt to the needs of industrial upgrading, and gain momentum for sustainable development.

From the user's perspective, due to the user's pursuit of simplicity, convenience, and ease of use, it directly leads to over-standardization of the machine tool and poor process adaptability. This is like the difference between a point-and-shoot camera and a professional camera. If we are always stubborn in fool-type applications, we cannot use the secondary development in the machine tool manufacturing process, we will not be able to integrate the upstream and downstream process routes, and the level of Chinese machine tool manufacturing will be difficult to achieve world-class. This is the main gap between domestic machine tools and international advanced machine tools.

Luo Baihui believes that the transformation and upgrading of the machine tool industry must find the right direction and method, that is, to build a variety of multi-dimensional management system (law, system, policies and measures) under the premise of strengthening the intelligent manufacturing, and establish and The synergy and high independent quality monitoring system.

The machine tool is the machine that manufactures machinery, and it is the "working machine" of the equipment manufacturing industry. Its importance is self-evident. Therefore, the machine tool industry must focus on promoting the optimization and reorganization of product R&D models, building a research and development system with original innovation and integrated innovation capabilities, and developing products with high technology and high added value. At the same time, the machine tool industry should also strive to promote the research and practice of concepts such as strategy-model-process integration, deep integration of the two technologies, and deepening the application of ERP through benchmarking analysis with world-leading companies.
