Heavy machine tool sprints to the international market

Affected by the sluggish world machine tool market, the heavy-duty machine tool manufacturing industry in Germany gradually went into recession. Some world-famous companies were merged or closed down. However, with the support of government subsidies, Italy's heavy-duty machine tool companies have developed rapidly in recent years and have greatly replaced Germany. The development of the Spanish heavy-duty machine tool manufacturing industry is also impressive. It will undoubtedly pose a threat to domestic companies. Therefore, in the future market, the main international competitors faced by China's heavy machine tool companies will come from Germany, Italy and Spain.

Among the imported heavy machine tool products, the vast majority are medium and high-grade numerical control products, of which Germany and Italy have more products, representing the world's advanced level. The differences between domestic products and foreign products in terms of structure are not large, and the new technologies used are almost the same. The biggest differences are the speed, accuracy, and reliability of the core transmission components, as well as the manufacturing process level and quality of the entire machine tool. This is foreign. The biggest advantage of the product.

The domestic heavy-duty machine tool manufacturing industry must catch up with advanced foreign technology, strengthen the concept of “independent innovation, fine manufacturing”, accelerate the pace of independent innovation, change the inherent deficiencies of domestic products lagging behind foreign countries, and cannot always follow others’ imitation; Manufacturing, improving the manufacturing process level and quality of products, including various functional components and related accessories, are two basic guarantees for manufacturing CNC machine tools, so that Chinese-made heavy machine tools can enter the international market as soon as possible and enhance international competitiveness. The domestic machine tool industry needs to work hard so that it can stand in the forest of the world.

At the critical moment of domestic efforts to sprint to the international level, we should recognize the current situation in the industry and understand the status quo in order to start more targeted. Looking at the entire industry, heavy machinery has experienced a slowdown in growth rate, and we should pay attention to it.

Facing the severe situation in the current production and operation of the shipbuilding industry, it is expected that the demand for heavy metal forming equipment and welding equipment required for the construction of the three major ship types will not increase sharply. However, there is a demand for special and special-purpose machine tools required for the manufacture of marine engineering equipment, which is the growth point of heavy-duty machine tools.

The construction of major key components for marine auxiliary equipment, such as high-power medium and low-speed diesel engines, crankshafts, and large-scale marine propellers, has been started, investment has been basically put in place, and orders for heavy-duty and super-heavy metal processing machine tools have basically been completed. Therefore, in the next few years, The growth rate of heavy-duty and super-heavy metal processing needs will slow down, while the demand for medium-sized and general-purpose CNC machine tools will maintain a certain growth trend.
