In recent years, the demand for China's machine tool market has undergone significant changes. The new market features, such as a marked decrease in the total demand volume and an accelerated demand structure, have become more pronounced. The main direction of the demand structure upgrade is the automation package, customized customization and universal shift upgrade. The promotion of "digital manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing" on the basis of improving the level of product technology and quality and providing customers with overall solutions is an important symbol of the transformation and upgrading of the machine tool industry, and is also a common direction for the machine tool companies.
As the world’s largest manufacturing country, China’s machine tool industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years. In 2014, its production reached 391,000 units, an increase of 65% from 2010. However, compared with leading countries such as Germany and Japan, there is still a big gap. Functional components, automated tools, and numerical control systems rely on foreign technology support. The technology research and development and breakthrough in the machine tool sector have become important tasks for the “Made in China 2025†strategy.
In April, during the CIMT2017 machine tool exhibition, many people reported that the market has shown signs of recovery. However, with the successive release of the quarterly reports of domestic machine tool listed companies, they found that the data support was not sufficient. However, considering the characteristics of the machine tool industry, it takes a relatively long period from the receipt of an order to the completion of the contract. Therefore, a quarterly report may not be able to judge the current situation very well.
But what is certain is that under the background of smart manufacturing or Industry 4.0 becoming the future trend, almost all machine tool listed companies are stepping up their efforts in transformation and upgrading, and smart manufacturing is the direction of common efforts.
At present, the total consumption of CNC machine tools in China accounted for 42% of the world's total, and the number of machine tools kept rising. With the rapid growth of China's machine tool industry, structural adjustment and deepening of the specialized division of labor, electric spindles with various technical and performance advantages will benefit from the upgrading of the downstream machine tool industry. The imported electric spindle has a high price, a long delivery time, and difficult maintenance. There is ample room for import substitution of domestic products. In addition, electric spindles often cause malfunctions due to improper operation, component wear, etc., and require maintenance and inspection due to long-term use accuracy degradation.
In the situation where there is an excess of low-end production capacity and each company needs to be upgraded, it is important to do a differentiated sales strategy. This is also true for the machine tool industry. Therefore, it is necessary for the machine tool to have its own diagnostic system to intelligently diagnose all machine tool sub-health. By intelligently predicting small faults, the user is free from worries and is in line with the needs of customers in the Chinese market. Only by helping customers to reduce costs and make production more flexible, customers can feel that they have a future.
In the machine tool industry, it has been seen that governments and companies have started to build a smart ecosystem, which is actually a demand. Some people say that after 20 years of development, China's manufacturing may gradually move away from big cities to small and medium-sized cities and even to small towns. These places may be a new backing for future Chinese manufacturing.
Since China’s economy has entered the new normal, the future economy will surely be fluctuating growth. There will be a downward trend in the fluctuations, and there will be a downward curve. It will only fluctuate around this curve. China's economy is sure to maintain a volatility range of 6.5% to 8%. To achieve a well-to-do target by 2020, it is difficult to achieve this goal without a certain rate of economic growth, but high-end replacement of low-end products is an inevitable result. .
To sum up, under the combined effects of national industrial policy support, the promotion of new technology revolutions, and the traction of market demand, the intelligent manufacturing of the machine tool industry will enter a period of accelerated growth. The development of smart manufacturing will exert a fierce impact on the traditional manufacturing system and promote profound changes in the industrial structure.
Under the new normal state of the economy, the machine tool industry faces an urgent need for market demand upgrading. After the new technology revolution, the business model of the machine tool industry will gradually change. Needless to say, intelligent machine tools will become the core equipment in the intelligent manufacturing system. Accelerating the development of intelligent machine tools is the top priority in implementing the “Made in China 2025†to build a manufacturing powerhouse.
