Machine Tool Industry Shows New Features

With the wide application of machine tools to all walks of life, the development trend of the machine tool industry is getting better and better. One of the important factors can be attributed to the company's great adjustment of product structure.

The adjustments made by the machine tool companies to the product structure are embodied in four aspects:

First, from the perspective of the whole industry, the production of low-grade products is less, and high-grade and special-purpose products are produced more.

Second, remarkable achievements have been made in independent innovation: A number of high-speed, precision, compound and multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools have been developed, as well as a number of new products for large-size and large-tonnage CNC machine tools, especially heavy-duty cutting machines.

Third, the rapid growth of investment in fixed assets: a number of major technological transformation projects have been completed and played a role, in particular, the production capacity of heavy machine tools has been greatly improved.

The fourth is that the mode of operation of enterprises has begun to change. Such as vigorously improving production efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs, the company's supply chain has been further optimized, and its technical service work has been further strengthened.

While these positive changes have occurred, some deep-seated conflicts in the industry have also become more prominent. For example, the leading products produced by the industry are incompatible with the development needs of the national economy. The overcapacity of the industry's low-end products and the capacity of high-end products are insufficient. The domestically-made high-performance functional components and mainframes are unbalanced in development. The results of scientific research plans are numerous but the industrial application effect is not obvious. .

In 2013, the machine tool industry must lay emphasis on strategic priorities, clarify the main direction of attack, further accelerate structural adjustment and change the mode of development to create conditions and environment for the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

First, to further accelerate the structural adjustment of machine tools. Compression of low-grade, ordinary product production; elimination of backward, pollution, high energy-consuming products; development of products with high technological content and economic value added; from providing stand-alone to provide complete sets of equipment into the direction of development.

Second, further improve the industrial chain. Strengthen policy support, break through the bottleneck of CNC machine tool industry development, vigorously develop numerical control systems and functional components, increase the proportion of CNC systems and functional components in the industry; encourage the development of CNC cutters, complex tools, precision gauges, and high-grade abrasives. Superhard materials and products.

Third, implement corporate restructuring. Give full play to the advantages of key manufacturing enterprises in batch manufacturing capacity, encourage general-purpose host manufacturing to moderately concentrate production, support “special, special, and refined” CNC machine tool manufacturing enterprises, expand the scale of functional component manufacturing companies and manufacturing technology service companies, and encourage the optimization and reorganization of corporate assets to promote The structure of the enterprise has shifted to the direction of “big and strong” and “small and specialized”; lean management and agile manufacturing have been developed.

Fourth, improve the professional production level of the manufacturing process. Improve the organizational structure of production, rationally allocate resources, integrate the four basic process capabilities of casting, forging, heat treatment, and surface treatment in the region, build specialized production centers, promote advanced manufacturing technologies and clean production methods, and increase material utilization and production efficiency. Reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions.

Fifth, adjust the structure of the industry's import and export trade. Continuously improve the threshold of imported equipment and technology, strive to improve the grade of export products, and resolve to reduce the export of high energy consumption, high pollution and resource products, increase the proportion of export of middle-to-high-end numerical control products, strive to expand the export of technical services, and continuously improve the export of the industry. The benefits.
