How does the machine tool industry bid farewell to 'depending on imports'?

In recent years, as the technical level of my country's machine tool industry has improved significantly, the industry as a whole has achieved rapid development. However, the fly in the ointment is that in terms of high-end CNC products, it is heavily dependent on imports. Therefore, for the domestic machine tool industry, it is urgent to speed up the adjustment of the industrial structure and realize autonomy.

According to statistics, the overall prosperity index of my country's machine tool industry in 2015 was only 34.5%, and it was down by 8.8% year-on-year. The contradiction between industry consumption and production structure is prominent. High-end CNC machine tools basically rely on imports, and their development is limited by Western countries. In addition, many scientific research results in our country are merely on paper and have not embarked on the road of practice.

In the face of the current basic situation of the machine tool industry, the state has made vigorous efforts to issue relevant policies and guidelines to encourage independent development of the four major areas of the machine tool industry. As early as 2006, the State Council issued the 'National Medium and Long-term Science and Technology Development Plan Outline (2006-2020)In 2010, the State Council reviewed and approved the 'Decision of the State Council on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries'. The 'Decision' clarified that the high-end equipment manufacturing industry was listed as one of the seven strategic emerging industries. Strengthen the fiscal, taxation and financial support for the equipment manufacturing industry. 'Made in China 2025' released in 2015 also listed high-end CNC machine tools as one of the ten key areas of China's manufacturing development strategy. According to this strategy, it will vigorously promote the breakthrough and development of key areas, focusing on ten key areas including high-end CNC machines.

The development of the machine tool industry requires not only the support of national policies, but also the reform and innovation of the enterprise itself. For enterprises, consolidating the manufacturing foundation, developing innovative technologies, and improving product quality are the way for enterprises to develop. Domestic machine tool companies need to change the production concept of machine tools that only produce the most profitable products, and seek breakthroughs in the field of high-end CNC machine tools from the low-end positioning of the original machine tool products. Secondly, innovation is the driving force for enterprise development. Domestic machine tool companies should innovate products, update production models, and take the road of innovative development.

In recent years, CNC machine tool manufacturers represented by listed companies have taken the lead in technological research and innovation. For example, the developed A and C swing angle high-speed machining centers have solved the problem of high-speed machining of large aluminum alloys in the aviation field. At the same time, the large-scale turning-milling compound machine tool developed by Shenyang Machine Tool has improved the processing accuracy and processing efficiency of large-scale ship crankshafts as a whole, and played a positive role in solving the problem of backward power of ships in my country. The bridge-type 5-axis gantry machining center developed has solved the processing problems of titanium alloy forgings in the aerospace field and so on.

Looking at the development status of my country's machine tool industry, seeking technological breakthroughs in high-end areas, accelerating industrial restructuring, and achieving independent innovation are critical. On the one hand, companies must strive to innovate and strengthen Ru0026D, master core technologies independently, and actively engage in in-depth dialogues with users in key areas to jointly realize applications; on the other hand, they need strong policy support to guide the strengthening of the combination of supply and demand, and encourage companies to adopt domestic high-end machine tools. The two-pronged approach not only accelerates to make up for the shortcomings in reality, but also systematically improves the common technical level of the industry under the guidance of clear industrial development goals and development priorities, vigorously promotes the development of high-end CNC machine tools, and realizes the transformation from a large manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country.
