Milestones of China's Leading CNC Machine Brand

With the sustained growth of the global economy, the consumption in the machine tool sector will continue to grow by more than 3.0% in 2019, which will propel the global CNC machine tool industry whose output value outnumbered $70 billion in 2018 to escalate steadily. As the world's leading producer and consumer of CNC machine tools, China garnered the CNC machine tool output value of over $6 billion (by the exchange rate 1:6.6174) in 2018, a more than 10% share of the global total.

China relies on the import of high-end CNC machine tools, and the localization level is less than 20%; the localization level of medium and low-end CNC machine tools is as high as over 85%, but the core components herein still hinge on foreign technology. More than 80% of CNC systems used for the China-made ordinary CNC machine tools are imported, and at least 85% of servo systems/motors come from abroad.

From the perspective of China's CNC machine tool market, benefiting from the rapid development of China's automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, power equipment, engineering machinery and other industries, there is a huge demand for the machine tool market, especially CNC machine tools. The CNC machine tool industry is growing rapidly. CNC machine tools are digital control machine tools. Is an automated machine tool with a program control system. According to the performance and grade of CNC machine tools, CNC machine tools can be divided into high-end CNC machine tools, mid-range CNC machine tools, and low-end CNC machine tools. High-end CNC machine tools refer to CNC machine tools with high-speed, precision, intelligent, composite, multi-axis linkage, network communication and other functions.

As the "mother of industry", machine tools are a symbol of the level of manufacturing in a country. CNC machine tools were invented by American inventor John Parsons in the last century. With the development of electronic information technology, the world machine tool industry has entered the era of mechatronics with digital manufacturing technology as the core, among which CNC machine tools are one of the representative products. CNC machine tool is a high-performance, automatic machine tool with program control system, which can solve complex, precise, small batch, multi-variety parts processing problems, and represents the development direction of modern machine tool control technology.

The industrialized countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan have successively completed the industrialization process of CNC machine tools, and China started from the 1980s and is now in the development stage. Although China's foundry machine tool industry has achieved certain results, it still faces many constraints. Compared with foreign products, the gap between China's CNC machine tools is mainly in the high-speed, high-efficiency and precision of machine tools.
