Machine tool industry technology reforms have a long way to go

At the end of August, listed companies in the Chinese machine tool industry announced their first-half performance reports in the first half of this year. In the first half of 2013, the entire machine tool industry in China did not show any improvement in the industry's expectations. The performance of many listed companies continued to decline, even at a loss.

In fact, the weak development trend of the industry has already appeared in the first quarter of this year. However, the short-term recovery in March gave the industry people a slight illusion, but the actual situation is that the industry development indicators have not been steadily rising, but they have turned back to continue to callback.

According to the latest data, gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 7.8% year-on-year in the first half of the year. Among them, the growth rate was 8.1% in the first quarter and 7.6% in the second quarter. For the first time in three years, the quarterly growth rate of our economy fell below 8% for the first time. In July, the official manufacturing purchasing managers index was 50.1, approaching the threshold.

Some users of the machine tool industry, such as: agricultural machinery, internal combustion engines, petrochemical and other industries, the amount of investment in fixed assets equipment has decreased compared to the same period last year. The shrinking of investment in major user industries will inevitably affect the market demand of the machine tool industry.

In the first half of 2013, Shenyang Machine Tool's net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company decreased by 80.75% year-on-year; Central China CNC decreased by 79.6% year-on-year; Nantong Technology reduced by 84.99%; Nantong forging decreased sharply by 91.41% year-on-year; legal factor control decreased by 29.52%; Yawei The shares decreased by 11.03% year-on-year.

The above-mentioned enterprises can still maintain a certain profit, and more enterprises suffer losses. In the first half of 2013, Kunming Machine Tool's loss-making performance caused a substantial decrease in net profit of 1313.91% compared with the same period of last year; Qinghai Huading's loss increased by 21.94% compared with the same period of last year; East China CNC loss increased by 281.45%; Qinchuan Development and the same period of last year Than the 143.74% reduction in net profit.

The economic downturn at this stage is temporary and phased. China’s large-scale industrial upgrading and technological transformation are far from over. Large-scale high-end equipment will have huge market demand in the future, and equipment manufacturing industry will usher in new and even more. Great development opportunities. The appearance of domestic processing centers lacks a sense of art, and the appearance of rough quality is an old problem that has not been solved well for many years. As far as the appearance of the overall protective cover is concerned, there are linear shapes, arc shapes, straight lines and circular arcs combined in various forms and eclectic. Coupled with the application of advanced technology, the rationality of color matching, the linear appearance of the overall appearance of the machine is brighter and the colors are more pleasant. The overall effect is coordinated with the product's performance. The domestic CNC system is being accepted by people. At this exhibition, we are pleased to see that the number of domestically-manufactured CNC systems supporting the OEM has increased a lot in comparison with the previous exhibitions. The domestic CNC systems represented by Huazhong CNC and Guangzhou CNC are represented. It is maturing, and they are active in various technical exchanges and lectures at the show. In the extensive contact with the majority of OEMs, they have shown good after-sales service, reliable technical support, and products with price advantage are welcomed by the majority of users. In fact, the domestically-manufactured numerical control system already has serialized products with independent intellectual property rights from low to high-grade, and the high-end numerical control system has actually broken through the restrictions imposed on China by foreign countries.

On the other hand, it also fully shows that many domestic CNC machine tools supporting enterprises are the new force for the industrialization of CNC machine tools in China. People have noticed that China's CNC machine tools supporting companies have a variety of ownership systems. There are a large number of companies that are privately-owned, joint ventures, joint-stock companies, and some are foreign-funded enterprises. They have made important contributions to the development of CNC machine tools in China and have contributed to them. .

The core competitiveness of enterprises is still very low. The current market competitiveness of domestic CNC machine tools is not high, in the final analysis, or the company's core competitiveness is not high. To improve the market competitiveness of domestic CNC machine tools, we must make China's CNC machine tool manufacturing enterprises have the following four capabilities, which is the goal of the industrialization of CNC machine tools. In order to form a large-scale production. This kind of large-scale production is a kind of specialized production. It is different from the highly concentrated large-scale production in the traditional sense, but it is a highly professional social production.

In this kind of socialized production, it is particularly emphasized that there must be a CNC machine tool and main engine factory as a core enterprise, and a large number of NC machine tool supporting enterprises should be used as a cooperative enterprise group that responds to each other. Only in this way can the advantages of the group with increased production capacity, reduced costs, and improved technical level be revealed from the strength. This is the ability of companies to participate in international competition. To master the core technology qualitatively. This core technology is through independent innovation, the company's own technology (refers to the unique technology accumulated, applied and formed by the company in the long-term product development, the technology that the enterprise has fully grasped and applied for a long time), and the imported technology (Yes Refers to the introduction of foreign advanced technology or supporting technology of other domestic companies, not the enterprise's own technology, it is the application technology for the enterprise, and the introduction of digestion technology (refers to the technology absorbed by the company from the introduction of foreign technology, including two Sub-development technology is the technology that the enterprise has already mastered. It is an extension and development of the enterprise's own technology. It is re-combined and refined to form a complete technology system with its own intellectual property rights and eventually developed into a core technology for skilled application of the enterprise.
