Market demand for ultra-long heavy machine tools soared

Yang Limin, an engineer of the Shenji Group Zhongjie Machine Tool, who has long been engaged in the work of heavy machine tool technical intelligence work, pointed out that “China is in the stage of modernization and improvement of traditional production methods, whether it is railway, power station, shipbuilding, aerospace, etc., or automobile construction. The construction machinery industry and the military industry all require a large number of high-end machine tools to support. This provides fertile market demand for the growth of China's heavy machine tools.

However, 95% of China's high-end heavy-duty CNC machine tools rely on foreign imports. In order to strengthen the competitive advantages with foreign counterparts and solve the key and core issues in the development of high-end heavy-duty CNC machine tools in China, the spring wind of the national “high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment” major science and technology project has made China's heavy machine tool market blooming.

In the face of the rapid decline in the general machine tool market under the financial crisis, the heavy machine tool market has barely been affected. This incentive has also led many machine tool manufacturers to turn to the market with large and heavy machine tools. The reason is that in the field of heavy-duty machine tools, the international competitiveness is not relatively fierce, and domestic heavy-duty machine tool companies have successfully implemented alternative imports in some product markets.
