At present, the status quo faced by China's machine tool industry enterprises is that the total amount of demand has been greatly reduced, and the demand structure has been accelerated. Affected by this, China's machine tool industry's major economic indicators have been reduced, new orders have been significantly reduced, production and sales have declined significantly, capital spending has risen sharply, manufacturing resources have been largely idle and the contradiction between supply and demand has become more prominent. At the same time, the industry’s inherent production capacity The contradiction between structural imbalances is even more pronounced, and the already severe homogenization market competition is further aggravated.
1. The transformation of machine tools in CNC is imminent
The "Guiding Opinions on Promoting Technological Transformation of Enterprises" issued by the State Council in September 2012 pointed out that "accelerating the upgrading of traditional industries, promoting the technological transformation of enterprises, and promoting safe production as the key tasks of technological transformation", this is in urgent need of the current machine tool industry in China. Through the transformation of a large number of ordinary CNC machine tools.
In recent years, the numerical control rate of China's production machine tools has increased. In 2011, the CNC machine tool rate for metal cutting machines was 29.9%, and the numerical control rate for forming machine tools was 6.29%. In 2012, they fell to 25.8% and 5.8% respectively. However, compared with the numerical control ratio of 60% to 70% of the output of the developed countries such as Japan, the United States, and Germany, and the numerical control ratio of the output value of 80% to 90%, the numerical control rate of China's machine tools still appears to be too low.
At present, the vast majority of machine tools used in China are ordinary machine tools. There are more than 4 million machine tools for various types of machine tools such as ordinary vehicles, milling, planing, grinding, boring, stamping and so on. Among them, 3/4 (more than 3 million units) can be transformed by CNC, and the average reconstruction cost is about 60,000 yuan per unit. The implementation of numerical control transformation of machine tools will result in about 200 billion yuan in renovation needs and about 150 billion yuan in upgrading demand (updating about 150,000 yuan per unit), which will play a role in maintaining economic growth.
CNC transformation not only can greatly improve the machining efficiency and automation, and intelligent degree of the machine tool, but also can save about 5 million tons of steel consumption and corresponding energy consumption and pollution emissions caused by all updates; improve the level of machine tool production safety.
2. Quality and service awareness needs to be improved
At present, the total number of domestic CNC machine tools used in key user areas is not much. In some processing processes are not complicated enterprises, domestic machine tools accounted for a relatively large, but mainly in the low-end CNC machine bed machine applications, the factory year earlier. However, in some high-end applications, domestically produced machine tools, which account for a relatively small proportion, are often used only for general processes or as ancillary equipment. They rarely enter critical manufacturing processes.
In addition to low technical content of products, many users believe that the accuracy of some domestically produced medium and high CNC products is not high, there are many minor defects, and the quality of products declines year by year, which affects the confidence of users in domestic machine tools.
In the field of after-sales service, it is common for some companies to fail to provide timely service when a problem occurs in the machine tool, and it is impossible to completely solve the problem many times.
In addition, the marketing concept of domestic machine tool companies also needs to be changed. For example, in the pre-sales exchange, some domestic companies hope to use a product to meet a variety of different processing needs of users; and foreign well-known machine tool companies are generally aimed at the user's specific process requirements, recommend to the user or even tailor-made to their needs product. At the time of signing the contract, domestic enterprises often respond to requests made by users faster than foreign companies, but the liquidity is low.
At present, there are some domestic machine tool suppliers who discuss with the user after the design of the machine tool has come out. During the product design and manufacturing process, both parties also maintain regular technical consultations, and the developed product is approved by the user.
3. Take the "professional, special, fine" development path
China's machine tool industry has experienced rapid growth for more than ten consecutive years and has achieved remarkable achievements. However, overall, the industry as a whole is still at the middle and low end of the international division of labor and the industrial chain. The past high-speed growth has relied more on the strong pull of domestic market demand, the development energy released by the transformation of enterprise institutional mechanisms, and the relative advantages of labor costs. The strong support of the national industrial policy.
With the intensification of international competition and the increase in labor costs and other factors, China's machine tool industry will also enter a new stage of development. The main characteristics of the new stage will be mainly reflected in the rational growth rate and comprehensive transformation and upgrading. The focus of competition will also shift from scale expansion to development mode.
Taking the “professional, special, and refined†development path is the demand of the market and the needs of users, and it is also the historic task that the industry should bear. Machine tool companies must keep a close eye on the market and users, and strive to develop specialized machine tool products that are urgently needed in the transformation and upgrading of customers in different industries through independent innovation, so as to comprehensively enhance the quality of the company itself, achieve breakthroughs in technology, open up markets, and achieve The common growth of customers.
