In the first half of 2013, China imported a total of 38,426 metal working machines , down 22.3% over the same period of last year. Its import volume was US $ 52.51 billion, down 17.2% over the same period of last year. The average unit price was US $ 136,700, an increase of 6.6% over the same period of last year. Statistics show that in June this year, China imported 6,362 units of metalworking machines, a decrease of 3.7% compared with the same period of last year; the import amount was 849 million U.S. dollars, up 14.1% MoM; and the average unit price was 133,400 U.S. dollars.
From the above set of figures, we can see that China has not fully recovered from the impact of the global economic crisis last year. As the analyst Luo Baihui said, the industry demand is still sluggish and the situation remains sluggish. However, compared with last year, The trend has gradually slowed down.
So what about the development of other countries or regions that are also deeply affected by the economic crisis? From the following groups of data can be glimpsed clues.
According to the statistics of the American Association of Manufacturing Technology, from January to May 2013, orders for metalworking machines in the United States were 2.09 billion U.S. dollars, down 6.9% year-on-year. One metal cutting machine tools orders for 1.87 billion US dollars, down 7.7%; forming machine orders 210 million US dollars, an increase of 0.2%.
Japan, according to the Japan Machine Tool Industry Association statistics, the first half of 2013, Japan's eight major machine tool manufacturers order total 219.43 billion yen, down 17.1%. The eight machine tool manufacturer Mori Seiki is, Okuma (OKUMA), Makino Manufacturing, OKK OKK, Toshiba machinery , the Tianjin JTEKT, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Toyota mechanic.
According to statistics, in the first half of the 8 machine tool manufacturers domestic orders for 74.22 billion yen, down 21.1%, foreign orders for 145.21 billion yen, down 15.0%. The proportion of external demand increased by 1.7 percentage points to 66.2%.
It is not difficult to see that the situation in the machine tool industry in the United States and Japan is basically the same as that in China. According to Luo Baihui, "Compared with 10 years ago, the level of China's CNC machine tools has improved a lot." Ten years ago, China could not produce five-axis machine tools, and now it has several domestic brands. Japan's prices of similar products forced to significantly lower. Some other heavy machine tools have also reached the international advanced level, five-axis domestic machine tool is also a landmark achievement.
In recent years, significant improvements in the level of machine tools have enabled us to achieve breakthroughs in some manufacturing industries. However, some important high-end CNC equipment we have not yet mastered production technology, which makes us in some of the most important manufacturing industries such as large aircraft, integrated circuit production constraints. So want to achieve the full take-off of manufacturing, high-end CNC equipment is still difficult to overcome.
"We are still on the cutting edge of advanced technologies (valves, pumps)." Luo Baihui believes China's CNC machine tools still have a phased gap between high speed and precision. The same specifications of products, foreign machine speed is about three times the domestic machine tool, precision is also close to an order of magnitude.
CNC machine tool is a very complicated production process. Domestic machine tool technology bottlenecks, it is difficult to boil down to a specific part. In general, CNC machine tools by the digital control system and machine components. China has a gap in these two areas.
On the one hand, high-performance CNC system is the key factor that determines the performance and cost of the whole machine. This year's Nanjing Expo exhibited domestic high-end CNC machine tools are used by Siemens or Fanac and other foreign companies CNC system. Domestic CNC system in high-speed, high precision, five-axis machining and intelligent features, the relative advanced world level there is a clear gap. This is due to the numerical control system architecture (hardware platform, software platform, field bus), high-speed and high-precision control algorithm, servo drive the overall gap caused. On the other hand, the functional components such as spindle, double-swivel head, turntable and nanometer precision grating, as well as the core technology of machine design and manufacture, are also the key constraints for manufacturing high-end machine tools in China. China's overall improvement of CNC machine tools, ultimately inseparable from the support of advanced functional components industry.
The huge domestic market (machine tools, valves, pumps) demand is a positive factor driving technological progress. It is expected that by 2020, there will be a large number of high-end CNC machine tools needed in various fields of manufacturing in China.
