Where is the gap between China's CNC machine tools and international advanced machine tools?

May 02, 2023

Although China's machine tool industry, especially CNC machine tools, has made great progress in 2003, there is still a big gap between the advanced international level and the international advanced level, which is mainly reflected in:

1. Technical level

Because the independent innovation capability of China's machine tool manufacturing enterprises is not strong, it is 5-10 years behind the advanced level of foreign countries in terms of product design level, quality, precision, and performance. Most of the products of higher technological level rely on imported technology or Joint venture production; the gap between high-tech, high-precision, and cutting-edge technologies reached 10-15 years. At the same time, our country's ability in application technology and technology integration is still relatively low. The research and formulation of relevant technical specifications and standards lags behind. Domestically produced CNC machine tools have not yet formed a brand effect. All these factors have seriously affected the domestic CNC machine tool market. The share has increased further.

2. Industrial production

At present, the market share of China's domestic CNC machine tools is still very low (50% in quantity and 30% in value). There are not many production companies with a certain scale; the specialized production of functional components and social supporting capabilities are not high, and a large number of functional components rely on them. Imports make the cost of producing CNC machine tools in China higher, especially the numerical control system - less varieties and functions, and the reliability is not high. It has always been a weak link in the production of CNC machine tools in China, and has seriously affected the market reputation of CNC machine tools in China. At the same time, China's CNC machine tool industry still lacks a sound support system such as technical training and service network, and its marketing capability and management level are not high. These have greatly affected the development of the industrialization of CNC machine tools in China.

3. Talents

As the CNC system is a highly specialized computer application science, it involves many accumulated experiences. On the issue of talents, not only is the number of personnel in China insufficient, but the software development capabilities of existing personnel are not strong enough. This is because people who normally design software are not able to do systems well. The development of numerical control systems must be combined with the application of machine tools. What is needed is a combination of talents who can combine software design and processing practices. Over the years, China has trained many such talents, but the rigid mechanism and imperfections in the incentive system have caused a large outflow of talent, which has further widened the gap in our development capabilities with foreign countries.
