3. Current situation of CNC machine tool industry
CNC machine tool is an important part of the precision machining industry and high-end equipment manufacturing industry, and the Chinese market is the world's largest machine tool consumption and producer. Numerical control machine tool is short for digital control machine tool, is a kind of automatic machine tool equipped with program control system. The control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decode them, represent them with coded numbers, and input them into numerical control devices through information carriers. After calculation and processing, the CNC device sends out various control signals to control the action of the machine tool, and automatically processes the parts according to the shape and size required by the drawing.
CNC machine tool better solve the complex, precision, small batch, multi-variety parts processing problems, is a flexible, high-efficiency automatic machine tool, represents the development direction of modern machine tool control technology, is a typical mechatronics products. In the context of favorable national policy support and enterprises continue to pursue innovation, as of 2021, China's CNC machine tool industry market size reached 268.7 billion yuan. CNC machine tool is a kind of machine to control the machine tool work by computer, high precision, high efficiency, high repeatability, including CNC milling machine, CNC lathe, CNC drilling machine, CNC grinding machine and other categories, widely used in automotive, aerospace, machinery manufacturing and other fields. However, according to the industry layout displayed by the China Report Hall network news: as of 2023, China's machine tool industry as a whole presents the characteristics of "big but not strong". From a structural point of view, China's high-end machine tool localization rate is low, in the numerical control system, guide rail, screw and other core components rely on imports more. For the category of CNC lathes, looking at the major websites are "Fanuc"1, "Simens"2, "Mitsubishi"3and other control systems, the industry's independent improvement space is very broad. From the perspective of China's machine tool consumption, since the market consumption reached a certain peak in 2011, the overall downward trend, the export of China's machine tool orders in 2021 to achieve high growth in March 2022 during the epidemic period after a certain decline in 2024, the market gradually rebounded.
1Fanuc is a numerical control system program developed by a Japanese company.
2A numerical control system called Sinumerik developed by Siemens of Japan.
3A numerical control computer system developed by Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan.
4. Government support and guarantee for the development of the industry
In order to promote the development of China's CNC machine tool industry, the government has introduced a series of policy measures to create a good development environment for enterprises through policy encouragement, technological innovation support, market regulation and so on, to promote industrial upgrading and technological progress at the same time, but also for the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry into new vitality. And through financial subsidies and financial investment to encourage enterprises to strengthen independent scientific and technological research and development, give tax incentives and other measures.
"Made in China" 2025 "will be CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment as" accelerate the breakthrough of the strategic field ", which proposed to strengthen forward-looking deployment and key technological breakthroughs, actively plan to seize the future of science and technology and industrial competition manufacturing points, improve the international division of labor and discourse, the domestic machine tool industry is difficult to meet the high-end needs of enterprises, The domestic machine tool industry is under the double superposition of cyclical pressure and structural pressure, and it is urgent to find a new development breakthrough.
Therefore, four relevant aspects are proposed:
- Promote the focused development of superior resources On the basis of improving the independent innovation ability and market competitiveness of domestic CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment, promote superior resources to focus on the two major fields of aerospace and automotive, concentrate on core equipment and key technologies, and focus on solving the bottleneck problems of key technologies such as performance reliability, stability and complete sets of research equipment.
- Promote the demonstration application of advanced products Increase investment in the construction of application verification and application demonstration bases that are representative of user needs and can centrally verify key technologies and core equipment of machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment, selectively support market-oriented product complete sets, high flexibility and intelligent projects, and focus on solving the high efficiency and intelligentization of equipment.
- Meet the new needs of national strategy to accelerate the development of national strategic development needs of CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment, further focus on the core equipment of national key projects, develop major products, breakthrough key technologies. Strive to improve the technical level of CNC equipment, break the constraints of national strategic equipment dependent on imports.
- Create a complete machine tool supporting industry chain Encourage and support CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment hosts, CNC systems and functional components and other industrial chain related units to establish long-term and stable strategic partnerships, establish a long-term supporting relationship between CNC systems, functional components and machine tool enterprises, and create a complete CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment supporting industry chain. In short, the introduction of various policies and the implementation of encouragement and support have injected a strong impetus into the development of China's manufacturing industry, further promoted the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and provided a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of the industry.
5. Conclusion
In summary, with the rapid development of the global manufacturing industry and the increase in high-end manufacturing demand, the market demand for CNC machine tools will continue to grow. Especially in the automotive, aerospace, electronics and other fields, the demand for high-end CNC machine tools will be more vigorous. Technological innovation is the core driving force for the development of CNC machine tool industry. In the future, with the continuous development and application of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other technologies, CNC machine tools will achieve a higher level of intelligence and improve processing accuracy and efficiency. With the promotion of global trade and the intensification of market competition, the CNC machine tool industry will face more intense international competition. Domestic enterprises need to continuously improve product quality and technical level to occupy a more favorable position in the international market. China's CNC machine tools are moving towards the stage of high-end products localization, domestic and foreign trade competition is fierce, independent scientific and technological innovation is imminent, enterprises in strengthening their own competitiveness at the same time should also abide by the relevant laws and regulations, adhere to the road of green and sustainable development, the government and enterprises should continue to strengthen cooperation. Further improve the relevant policies and measures to provide a solid guarantee for the sustainable development of the CNC machine tool industry.
