Who is leading the heavy machine tool market?

Since the financial crisis, both emerging and old machine tool companies and even some marginal companies have mushroomed into the field of heavy machine tool manufacturing. Many people in the industry are concerned that once the market changes, the heavy machine tool market will inevitably suffer a round of reshuffle, then what kind of company can become the real money left after the big wave of scouring?

In fact, it is not difficult to see that in the face of the current fierce competition, most of the old heavy machine tool companies are showing calm and calm. While emerging companies are still using medium and low-end products as paving stones to enter the heavy machine tool industry, a group of veteran leading companies represented by Wuzhong, Shanghai Machine Tool, Qizhong CNC, Qi 2 Machine Tool, etc. have been fully committed to high-end products. The first set, major special projects, key equipment, and alternative import products. For these research and development on behalf of the domestic leading technology products, the old leader has contributed. At the same time, going abroad to open up the international market, let Chinese machine tools go to the world and demonstrate the strength of Chinese manufacturing has also become the important task of these leading companies.

In fact, after the adjustment of products and industrial structure in recent years, China's heavy machine tool companies have made great progress in product specifications and product functions. China's heavy-duty machine tool products are moving towards the development of high-end numerical control new products with multi-functional composite processing. It has achieved gratifying results in satisfying the individual needs of users, new technology research and new product development.

Such as Shanghai Machine Tool Plant super-heavy precision CNC roll grinder to achieve a maximum weight of 250 tons, the maximum diameter of 2.5 meters, the maximum length of 15 meters of high-precision grinding roller; Qizhong NC offline the world's largest 6.3 meters heavy CNC lathes And Qi 2 Machine developed by China's first, the world's largest, completely independent research and development of TK6932 super heavy double column CNC floor milling and boring machine.

In addition to the accumulation of technology, cultural heritage has also become a competitive advantage for established companies. Experts have pointed out that for heavy machine tool products, the company's heritage and cultural heritage is very important. The life cycle of heavy machine tools is very long, which requires high stability and accuracy. Therefore, the accumulation of technology has become particularly important. There is not enough light and technology. After the design of the drawings, there are still problems with the process.

Now many private capitals dare to invest in the field of heavy machine tools because there are drawings, but in fact, the process problems are much more difficult to solve than the drawings. The formation of the entire process route, as well as the configuration of the process equipment, requires scientific research engineers and technicians to work hard in this industry for decades to have a mature idea.

For example, the appearance of a lot of parts and materials used on heavy-duty machine tools, the appearance can not be seen, but the actual may be different. Some companies may simply process it, and some components may break when the speed is increased.

This means that the setting of the process route and the configuration of the process equipment can not be grasped in a short time. This is actually a kind of accumulation and inheritance of the company's information. This is exactly what some later companies can not achieve, which also increases the marketing difficulty for the entrants. Therefore, as long as users really understand the machine tool, even if the price is more expensive, they will still choose the mature products of the old companies. After all, these heavy machine tools are not fast-moving consumer goods, but are the core equipment that plays a revolutionary role in the manufacturing process of user companies.

From 2009 to 2010, the situation of the entire heavy machine tool market is still rather severe. The market cake is not as large as people think. The traditional old companies still play a leading role in heavy machine tools.

However, problems have also emerged one after another. The market prospect of heavy machine tools is greatly affected by economic and social development, and has certain limitations. The demand industry is relatively narrow and the steps are very high. The market demand is greatly affected by the national policy factors, and the market response is lagging behind. The capital required for heavy-duty machine tools is relatively high, the recovery period is long, and the long service life of heavy-duty machine tools leads to a long replacement cycle and restricts investment. Therefore, if the current investment in the production of heavy machine tools is not standardized and guided, it will lead to industrial misalignment, increase the risk of corporate investment, and finally engender the follow-up crisis of the industry and enterprises.

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the demand for ordinary and middle and low-end CNC machine tools in the heavy machine tool user industry will tend to be flattened, mainly for the addition of key equipment, and the competition between the imported and domestic technologies is a level of technology, which is provided to our country. The key opportunity in the development stage of the heavy machine tool industry is also the ability to test the industry to seize opportunities, and it is also a challenge to the manufacturing capabilities of China's heavy machine tool industry.
