Development Status and Development Trend of China's CNC Machine Tool Industry

A serious problem facing the CNC machine tool industry today is that imports of high-end CNC machine tools dominate. From the data related to the import volume of CNC machine tools, since November 2012, the import volume of CNC machine tools in China has shown a downward trend as a whole, but the import price has been rising, which indicates that the import volume of high-end CNC machine tools continues to rise. Not to mention the machine tool itself, CNC machine tools are the main products for automatic intelligentization of machine tools. The level of CNC system is an important indicator for determining the level of CNC machine tools. However, 90% of China's CNC systems need to be imported from abroad. Compared with foreign technology, domestic CNC system, especially high-grade CNC system, is still very obvious in terms of machining accuracy, stability and reliability.

Relevant market statistics show that domestic CNC machine tools are mainly dominated by medium and low-end CNC machine tools, while the medium and high-end CNC machine tools market is mainly occupied by foreign companies. From some professional procurement websites, such as LeBai's online machine tool product information, most high-end CNC machine tools are foreign brands. With the rapid development of China's equipment manufacturing industry, the demand for the industry is also growing substantially. Correspondingly, the domestic CNC machine tool industry has also developed rapidly. China's CNC machine tool product technology is in the aspects of high speed, precision or composite. Breakthrough progress has been made, but there is still a big gap between the reliability and accuracy and the international advanced level.

From the overall perspective of the domestic CNC machine tool industry, China's high-end CNC machine tools are the biggest shortcomings in the industry development, and the biggest obstacle to industrial upgrading. In response to this situation, the state plans to implement the "high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment" technology major project, including more than 10 projects, more than 50 topics, around CNC machine tools, functional components, digital tool systems and measuring instruments Detailed research and development plans have been made for stamping equipment and forging equipment. Because CNC machine tools are the working machine of equipment manufacturing industry, high-end CNC machine tools are the basic facilities of several major manufacturing industries such as national defense, aviation, and automobiles. Only by controlling the application of high-end CNC machine tools can we occupy a commanding height in the equipment manufacturing industry.

After years of low-end development, China's CNC machine tool industry needs to improve the competitiveness of its industry products and take a high-end development route. Innovation is the basic driving force for the development of the industry. To achieve the improvement of the technical level of the CNC machine tool industry, it is necessary to pay attention to the construction of the innovation capability platform. In the "high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment" technology major projects, there is the "innovation capability platform construction" project, including the industry technology and equipment innovation capability platform construction, complex CNC tool innovation capability platform and other topics. With the advancement of various researches in the CNC machine tool industry, China's CNC machine tool technology has been significantly improved, which has driven the market development of domestic CNC machine tools and CNC systems and related functional components, providing good conditions for the expansion of the domestic machine tool market.

The 8th China CNC Machine Tool Exhibition will show the current level of CNC machine tools in China. It can be foreseen that under the technical level and the strong support of national policies, China's CNC machine tool industry market will move towards a healthy development path, and industry enterprises will inevitably develop better and better.
