Our plan to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry through the consideration, good policy to make CNC machine tools, CNC tool development and application of numerical control has greatly enhance the level of confidence. Improve the efficiency and reduce the impact of manufacturing costs, is causing increasing throughout the country and industry attention, the next few years China will face a reshuffle tool industry and the rapid development of great opportunity.

CNC tool is a tool used for cutting machinery manufacturing, also known as cutting tools. Cutting tools include both generalized tool also includes abrasive; while “CNC tool” in addition to cutting blade, shank and holder also includes accessories such as! We appellation “CNC tool”, especially with machining centers, CNC lathes, milling machines, CNC drilling and other advanced and efficient CNC manufacturing systems supporting tool aids and tools used in the system. It includes the overall alloy cutting tools, superhard tools, indexable inserts, tool support system, indexable cutting tools, superhard materials and coating technologies. These should belong to the scope of modern metal cutting tools, the technology level, performance and quality directly affects the production efficiency and product quality of domestic processing millions expensive CNC manufacturing system will directly affect the entire state machinery manufacturing industry production technical level and economic benefits.

CNC tool industry is developing rapidly
CNC tool is the efficient tool for the modern habit of calling. It is an integral part of modern digital manufacturing technology. Over the past decade, with the manufacturing industry to accelerate the pace of modernization, China’s digital manufacturing technology has gained rapid development. Of the 20th century, China’s annual output of metal-cutting machine tools reached 190,000 units, but only 14,000 units of CNC machine tools; was to represent the new carbide cutting tools for the modern and efficient tool, the tool is also only 15% of the total output. After entering the new century, the pace of development of China’s machine tool industry has greatly accelerated in 2007, China’s CNC machine tool production reached 123,200 units, output NC rate reached 43.7%. The proportion of high-performance carbide cutting tools with this match, also rose to 40.3% of all tool output. Thus, entering the new century, China’s CNC machine tools and efficient tool, has achieved rapid, synchronous development. At present, the localization of the modern and efficient tool, has entered the bulk of the automotive industry, mold industry, aerospace, power generation equipment, general machinery and other fields. Performance of some products has been at or near the international advanced level, effectively breaking the monopoly of the import tool in some areas, to regulate competition in our markets and efficient tool to make a contribution.

Talked about the achievements and progress of the last decade, these are real, we should certainly. However, we overestimated the level of future development are also harmful. This overly optimistic estimate is neither realistic nor beneficial to future development. This is because, first, CNC machine tools and modern and efficient tool of development in recent years, basically in the imitation stage, or a combination of imitation and innovation. Although made ​​of high-end products, but its development is still in its infancy, can not have the capability of independent innovation and advanced stage confused. Second, we develop high-end products in recent years, the use of imitation mainly import substitution policy, help speed up the pace of development to meet the industry’s needs. But the price paid is the way of this development is technically totally dependent on the developed countries, the development of the initiative lost forever behind others go. For example: the foundation of modern manufacturing technology and efficient tool has three main blocks: a high level of modern tool materials, high level of modern coating technology and equipment as well as a high level of tool-specific digital manufacturing technology and equipment. The three blocks of high-end technology, including raw materials, technologies, processes and equipment, we rely entirely on the introduction, leaving these “foreign cane”, high-end products are manufactured not out. Thus, when we look back at the machine tool industry in the last decade of rapid development process, it is necessary to fully affirming our achievements, but also to seek truth from facts, not blindly overestimate the level of development we have achieved. To continue to work diligently, work hard, continue to lay a solid foundation in the development, enhance the ability of independent development, in order to provide better services for modern manufacturing.

From traditional to modern and efficient tool standard tool production enterprises to experience a brand new and full of painful uncertainty and difficult process of change.

This process of change so that some corporate retreat, corporate helm no choice when faced with difficulties in this case, but chose to stand still. The reason is that the conventional high-speed steel tools in the domestic market, there is still considerable, through the production of large quantities of low-grade and low labor costs can still profit. This misconception become the biggest obstacle to the development of modern and efficient tool. A large, modern manufacturing systems, erected quickly on our earth, has become an indisputable reality. So, whether from our own living space tool industry, or to improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector from the country’s overall need to see, to accelerate corporate restructuring tool to promote the development of modern and efficient tool has become essential, stagnation and legalistic is no way out. The changes on this concept are rapid and timely, business and prospects and industry will produce a decisive impact.
