The rapid development of Chinese economy, the demand for machine tools. However, in the end is the our country in the global manufacturing industry value chain, the quantity of imported machine tools increase every year, to become a major investment in high-end manufacturers product cost. According to the mold related data show, Chinese manufacturing has accounted for 14% of global manufacturing, from the beginning of 2002, China had ten consecutive years as the first big machine tool consumption and import country. Last year, China's machine tool industry production also ranks first in the world, but still have to rely on imports of high-end CNC machine tools, CNC system and functional components in the high-end CNC machine tool mainly from overseas. However, the import side has become the norm for machine tools in China 's foreign trade in recent years, especially the high-end machine.

In the industry of world machine tool, well made in Germany, is a German pride, but also the world for their approval. European manufacturers, but also has characteristics of high quality, high technology. The European machine tool industry with highly innovative, diversified and sophisticated products and other advantages, and for many years to maintain the leading position in the world machine tool market. The Japanese machine tool industry in Asia, despite the overall frustration situation, but it still does not affect the Japanese machine tool power status. So, while including the United States, some of the world's manufacturing power has manufacturing industry as the industry of the setting sun argument, not denying that world manufacturing industry gradient transfer phenomenon does exist, but once the machine power clearly did not give up yourself in the position of manufacturing industry.

In fact, in the R & D, high-end machine production, manufacturing, China has been a lack of. Technical barriers and difficult road of R & D and accept the market test and challenge of China's high-end machine. Although in recent years China machine tool product market share, rate of NC in continuous improvement, but in the high-end machine tool, China still needs a large number of imports from abroad, especially imported from europe.

In fact, in the end product of machine tool industry in our country are surrounded by foreign manufacturing. According to the mold analysts stressed, while the parameters of domestic common machine tool can meet the requirements, but due to the lack of reliability and accuracy, quite a few of my junior high end machine are imported from foreign country. The foreign occupation of high-end technologies and products are exported to the commanding heights. The mold analysts said, Japan, Germany, is to limit the export of high-end machine tool, for example, DMG high-end five axis machine tools limits exports to China, even the high-end technical staff to the field of employment is restricted somewhat, they worry about the loss of staff will be accompanied by technology outflow.

Although, in recent years, in the background of the rapid development of China's machine tool industry, China's independently developed heavy, super heavy duty machine tool products, a knocking limit specifications the world's gate, also has a number of independent intellectual property rights, and the technical level has been close to the world advanced level of heavy machine tool series the product, however, the dependence on imports, key features and the core components of dependence on imports is the status quo of high-end equipment manufacturing industry in China, in this case, the original innovation to make, but the difficulty is big. There is still a big gap between the domestic high-end CNC system with foreign advanced level, the software and hardware platform of high-grade CNC system, digital technology, reliability, high speed, high precision, multi channel, composite processing technology and so on, are we need to proceed with determination. The mold analysts said, to strengthen the construction of basic education, innovation is not accomplish at one stroke, the need for knowledge intensive digestion, absorption; also said, technical barriers to international has also repeatedly reminded us, technology is not the introduction, production of high-end machine ultimately rely on our own strength, this is also a a great challenge.

With the rapid growth of domestic demand and foreign high-end machine market share, the government and enterprises are deeply aware of the importance and urgency of the development of high-end machine tool. In recent years, China has successively promulgated a series of policies and measures to adjust the revitalization of encouragement, the environment for the development of high-end equipment manufacturing industry continuously optimized, the industrial innovation capability was enhanced, science and technology level of a substantial increase, from low-end to high-end break out in many areas. However, the road ahead is long and rugged. (China CNC machine network)
