Due to inherent deficiencies, China's machine tool industry has been lagging behind the mainstream level of foreign countries in the development of mid to high end machine tool projects. Currently, China's machine tool industry is in a relatively difficult period of adjustment and turning point.
It is reported that although some Chinese enterprises have developed mid to high end CNC machine tools, most of them are assembled based on domestic machine tool theme manufacturing and imported key functional components, which does not fully indicate that we have mastered the overall research and development technology and manufacturing technology of mid to high end CNC machine tools and key functional components. Therefore, there is still a big gap between Chinese machine tool enterprises and foreign machine tool enterprises.
In recent years, Chinese enterprises have continuously promoted industrial innovation and upgrading. High speed, precision, composite, intelligent, and green are the overall trends in the development of CNC machine tool technology. However, the existing problems are still very obvious. Due to the influence of research and development capabilities, 80% of domestic mid to high end CNC systems, 90% of high-end CNC systems, and 85% of high-end CNC machine tools still rely on imports from abroad.
1. The scale of CNC functional component manufacturing enterprises in China is small
According to statistics, there are over 70 functional component manufacturing enterprises in China with fixed assets exceeding 10 million yuan, accounting for less than 10% of all production enterprises.
2. Core components heavily rely on imports
From 2002 to 2008, China was the world's largest consumer and importer of machine tools. But behind the rapid development of the industry, a fact that cannot be ignored is that the production of key components in China is still subject to others, resulting in low profits and a lack of core competitiveness in products.
3. Lack of high-tech content threatens industrial security
Data shows that in 2012, the CNC rate of metal cutting machine tools in China was 25.8%, and the CNC rate of forming machine tools was 5.8%
