China's development of special targets for the development of machine tools

The continuous improvement of modern industrial production and processing technology, especially in terms of precision, requires high-end CNC machine tools. The scope of its application is about to expand rapidly. Statistics show that in the machine tool market in China last year, the market demand growth rate of high-end CNC machine tools has surpassed that of mid- to low-end machine tools, indicating that the demand direction of China's machine tool products has changed.

However, in recent years, domestically produced low-end numerical control systems have basically pushed foreign competitors out of the Chinese market; while high-end markets are just the opposite; domestic production accounts for less than one-tenth. The market for high-end CNC systems is basically in the hands of manufacturers such as Fanuc and Siemens.

Foreign high-end numerical control systems perform better in high-speed and high-precision performance, as well as in five-axis machining and intelligence than domestic products, and their average time between failures is four times that of domestic products. The system architecture, hard and soft components, and high-speed and high-precision algorithms all require long-term research and improvement. The backwardness of the domestic electronics industry has determined the weak performance of China's high-end CNC systems.

In addition to the gap in the level of CNC systems, the weakness in the key component areas has also limited the height of domestic machine tools. In some machine tool exhibitions, domestic high-end machine tools that use Fanuc or Siemens CNC systems can also be seen. Compared with foreign machines equipped with the same “brains”, the rotational speed is only one-third of that of foreign countries, and the error range is 5 for others. Times.

At the same time, in order to change the industry situation in which people are ashamed, China has formulated a special action target for the development of machine tools. The implementation of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” machine tool to implement the overall thinking of the user traction, to promote the organic integration of the upstream and downstream industries. Insist on the implementation of the application demonstration project by the user to promote the integrated application of the phased results such as the machine tool host, the numerical control system, and the functional components completed in the previous research and development.

In addition, the CNC machine specialization fully embodies the needs of key users in the task layout, and emphasizes the establishment of a technology innovation system in which the enterprise is the mainstay, the market is oriented, and the combination of production, research and application is used. All product-related topics clearly require the enterprise to take the lead in organizing and implementing.

Among them, in the special projects that have been established, 71% of the enterprises take the lead. During the period from 2009 to 2013, special arrangements were made for 62 military industry projects with a total funding of 3.65 billion yuan. 34 computer-controlled machine tools and production line application demonstration projects for energy equipment manufacturing were planned, with a total cost of 293 million yuan.
