Analysis of the Transformation of the Development Mode of Machine Tool Industry during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan Period

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, we must make breakthroughs in the major service areas of the machine tool industry—automobile manufacturing, aerospace equipment manufacturing, shipbuilding, and power generation equipment manufacturing—to achieve breakthroughs, of course. Also includes the current emerging industries. To this end, the China Machine Tool Industry Association will actively carry out relevant research activities, and strive to obtain support from relevant national industrial policies to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the Chinese machine tool industry.

“From big to strong” has always been the goal pursued by China’s machine tool workers, and it is also the foundation of the China Machine Tool Industry Association’s planning and implementation of the “Twelfth Five-year Development Plan for the Machine Tool Industry” (hereinafter referred to as “industry development plan”) this year. Point of departure. According to the statistics of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, in the first quarter of 2011, China's machine tool industry continued its hot market situation in 2010, accumulatively achieving a total industrial output value of RMB 129.40 billion, an increase of 38.1% year-on-year, and a product sales value of RMB 126.43 billion, a year-on-year increase. 39.2%, for the 18 consecutive months, the year-on-year growth rate remained above 30%. At present, the good development trend of the domestic machine tool market is indeed encouraging. However, industry experts also reminded that maintaining a calm and discreet attitude is the most important attitude facing entrepreneurs in the face of the current situation.

Gradually promote the transformation of industry development methods The current machine tool industry must focus on two aspects in order to vigorously promote the transformation of the industry development approach.

On the one hand, it is necessary to solve deep-seated problems, increase the added value of products, and overcome the shortcomings of “hardness, light, softness” that have been formed in technological transformation and products for many years. For example, in the technological transformation, many companies are often good at spreading booths, building factories, and buying good equipment, but lack of in-depth scrutiny of product and process development and design, deep-level key technologies, process infrastructure, site management, and industrialization technologies; At the same time, there is no deep understanding of the equipped CNC system and functional components. Even with the same brand-name CNC system and functional components, the equipment operates and the quality of the produced product is not the same, so it can meet the requirements of various processing technologies. Not the same.

On the other hand, we must improve service levels and service capabilities. The so-called services, some domestic companies are still limited to help users solve the problem at the scene, only provide products, can not provide high-quality services. The foreign advanced enterprises have already reached an integrated service level that can provide users with a one-time comprehensive solution; not only can provide a single product, but also have the ability to provide complete equipment plans based on user needs.

Not a day's work, the market competitiveness of high-end CNC machine tools urgently needs to increase the market share of high-end CNC machine tools is an important indicator to measure the competitiveness of domestic machine tool companies. The statistics for the first quarter show that China’s imports of machine tool products have increased by 61.9% year-on-year and have reached a record high.

At present, the demand for machine tools in the domestic market has increased significantly. In the domestic market, the demand for high-grade products has grown particularly fast, while the demand for mid-range, especially low-grade products, has become less and less. Under this circumstance, we are bound to increase the market competitiveness of domestic high-end CNC machine tools. However, the current situation of domestically produced middle-to-high grade CNC machine tools is: the quality will not go up, and the cost will not come. The reason is that on the one hand, the dependence of our high-end numerical control systems and functional components is too high on the one hand; on the other hand, we have not mastered the in-depth development of technologies, but only know what they are and why they are not. A high-end CNC machine tool is often a collection of high-end CNC systems and high-end functional components. For this reason, many domestic machine tool companies now consider that their products are not enough for secondary development on the CNC system, but only use those functions on the standard platform; even if the same high-end CNC system is used, domestic machine tool applications The level and the scope of adaptation are also limited. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to break through the development bottleneck of the CNC system and the main functional components.

In order to accelerate the industrialization of middle-to-high-end CNC machine tools, objectively speaking, the technological level of domestic CNC machine tools has indeed been greatly improved. Our scientific and technological breakthroughs, 04 special scientific and technological projects can also be described as fruitful, but the industrialization of high-end machine tools The pace is still struggling.

Our five-axis linkage can only sell half or even less than half the price of others. The key is that we do not have enough depth and breadth in software development, and our performance and quality do not go up. Now it is necessary for the industry to conduct in-depth technology and research point industrialization technologies. Only in this way can product competitiveness be brought up. Due to the deficiencies in our overall R&D system and other aspects, it is still difficult to comprehensively upgrade the industrialization level of China-made medium-to-high-end CNC machine tools in the short-term. We must, first of all, achieve breakthroughs in some key application areas. Take the automobile as an example. Although the domestically produced medium-to-high-end CNC machine tools have been used in the production lines of individual automobile companies, the key parts and components production lines for the leading products of automobile leading enterprises such as FAW, Second Automobile, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, etc. No breakthrough was achieved.

“It is now proposed that in the next five years, China's machine tool companies will have to change from strength to strength.” Wu Bolin, chairman of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, believes that this goal is a bit high and unrealistic, and it can be gradually and steadily progressed in this direction. Do it. At present, the domestic machine tool manufacturing enterprises are generally large and not strong, while the functional components and numerical control system enterprises are neither big nor strong. Therefore, in order to promote the gradual realization of the goal of “change from big to strong”, the China Machine Tool & Tool Industry Association, after formulating the industry development plan, through preliminary detailed analysis and discussion, initially proposed three landmark goals: First, to the industry Major breakthroughs have been made in typical parts processing equipment for leading products in key service areas. Secondly, domestically produced numerically-controlled machine tools, especially medium-to-high-end CNC machine tools, have achieved a significant increase in the domestic market share, and the domestic and medium-to-high-end numerically-controlled machine tools have significantly improved the localization rate of the application of numerical control systems and major functional components. Third, a few or more machine tool products have become international famous brands, and a few or more companies have become strong companies in the world.

At the same time, for the work from 2011 to 2012, the Machine Tool Association proposed three key tasks and five measures. Its purpose is to improve the industrialization of medium-to-high-end CNC machine tools, numerical control systems, functional components, and cutting tools; to promote the technological transformation of the “integration of the two industries”; to strengthen the construction of a talent team; to further cultivate and expand the market, and to gradually promote And to accelerate the pace of China's machine tool industry "from big to strong."
