CNC machine tools: can we "walk on two legs" to break through the bottleneck of functional parts? Guide: Although China has become the largest machine tool manufacturing country in the world for years, high-end functional parts are still controlled by others and need to be imported from abroad in large quantities. The key points of work for the machine tool industry during the 12th Five Year Plan period (Trial Implementation) said that efforts to improve the supporting capacity of medium and high-end CNC systems and functional components were one of the key tasks of the industry during the 12th Five Year Plan period, and put forward the policy of walking on two legs

China has become the world's largest machine tool manufacturing country for consecutive years, but it is also the world's largest importer, which shows that China's high-end CNC machine tools can not meet domestic needs. One of the constraints is that high-end functional components are also controlled by others, and a large number of them are imported from abroad. Not long ago, the China Machine Tool Industry Association passed the "key points of work during the 12th Five Year Plan period for the machine tool industry (Trial)", taking efforts to improve the supporting capacity of medium and high-end CNC systems and functional components as one of the key tasks of the industry during the 12th Five Year plan period, and put forward the policy of walking on two legs

Wu Bailin, executive vice president of the machine tool association, said that walking on two legs is to fully mobilize resources and development enthusiasm in all aspects. While actively supporting the accelerated development of specialized enterprises, it also encourages and supports qualified machine tool host enterprises to extend the industrial chain according to their own needs and actively participate in the development of CNC system and functional component industry, so as to accelerate the development process of medium and high-end CNC system and functional component industry. Specialized enterprises should be closely combined with host factories to form an industrial alliance and a community of interests for development and application

in this regard, at the meeting organized by the machine tool association, business leaders from the functional component industry also expressed their views one after another

suggestion 1: avoid large and complete, small and complete

Zhao Meiling, general manager of Guangdong high tech Kate Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., said: this means supporting and encouraging qualified and capable enterprises to develop and produce medium and high-end functional components and CNC systems. As long as enterprises do well, whether they are OEMs or functional component manufacturers, they should support and promote their accelerated development to the middle and high-end

but she raised two questions: one is whether the machine tool industry should be large and comprehensive or specialized production? Another is, what are the advantages of the main engine factory to make functional components

he Minjia, chairman of Guangzhou numerical control equipment Co., Ltd., believes that he supports the host factory to establish a numerical control system research department, develop medium and high-end numerical control software functions, and develop special processing software modules. The hardware, servo drive device and servo motor of the system should be produced and matched by the professional factory of the system, and it is not suitable to repeatedly build the production workshop

libaomin, chairman of Shandong Bote Precision Industry Co., Ltd., said: in order to speed up the development of functional components, host manufacturers can join the development of functional components if they have the ability. But I personally believe that the intervention of host manufacturers in this regard should be fully considered. In what way? Intervene in what? It is worth studying. We should fully combine our own advantages, and avoid taking a big and comprehensive way, small and comprehensive way

suggestion 2: mazako mode can be used for reference.

Chen Jihong, chairman of Wuhan Huazhong CNC Co., Ltd., proposed that for a long time, the development of CNC systems and CNC machine tools in China has shown a prominent phenomenon of two skins. The two have not formed a situation of mutual support, mutual promotion and common progress, nor a strategic cooperative relationship of development and application industry alliance and community of interests, which not only restricts the development and market competitiveness of China's CNC machine tool industry, but also restricts the development of China's CNC system industry

according to Chen Jihong, there are three modes to develop the NC system industry in the world, and each mode has its own advantages and disadvantages

one is Siemens mode. That is, the system factory specializes in the production of CNC systems of various specifications, provides various standard functional modules, and provides batch support for mainframe factories all over the world, such as FANUC, Siemens, Mitsubishi and other major manufacturers of CNC systems. The advantage of this mode is that the main engine factory and the system factory give full play to their respective advantages, which is conducive to the formation of professional and large-scale production. But the disadvantage is "Altair HyperWorks and esacomp are important parts of the analysis process of ruag composite materials. The unified factory and the main engine factory are mainly buyers and sellers, and the combination between the two sides is not close enough.

the second is the Haas mode, that is, the main engine factory independently develops the numerical control system, and sells with its own numerical control machine tools for exterior wall insulation materials. For example, Haas company of the United States, FIDIA company of Italy, etc., these companies started from the research and development of numerical control system at the beginning of their establishment We popularized the CNC system and began the production and sales of CNC machine tools. Its disadvantage is that the CNC system of the unique brand of the main engine factory is difficult to be selected by other main engine factories

the third is the Mazak mode, that is, the main engine factory develops its own brand CNC system on the development platform provided by the system factory, and sells it together with its own CNC machine tools. For example, Japanese companies such as Mazak and Mori Seiji have carried out secondary development on the CNC system platform provided by Mitsubishi and Fanuc to form their own CNC system brands. This model not only avoids the possible shortcomings of the other two models, but also carries forward its own advantages

Chen Jihong believes that Mazak mode is the most suitable mode for OEMs to develop CNC system industry. The key to the implementation of this model is that the system factory continuously provides CNC system platform technology for the mainframe factory, and forms an industrial alliance and community of interests jointly developed and applied by the mainframe factory and the system factory. During the 11th Five Year Plan period, Huazhong CNC actively established strategic cooperative relations with key machine tool enterprises such as Dalian machine tool, Beiyi machine tool, Wuzhong group, Nantong machine tool, etc., which greatly promoted the development of medium and high-end domestic CNC machine tools and CNC systems

suggestion 3: industrial policies need to be tilted

Zhang Wanmou, chairman of Yantai universal machine tool accessories Group Co., Ltd., proposed that for many years, functional component manufacturers have been struggling to move forward against the current in the environment of emphasizing host machines over supporting equipment and emphasizing foreign countries over soil. Due to the non main characteristics of accessories and component names, it is difficult for the functional component industry to enjoy the attention of the main body

although the support has been increasing in recent years, due to the weak foundation of relevant production enterprises, small scale, weak independent innovation ability, insufficient technology investment and other reasons, the effect is not satisfactory, and the industrialization supporting capacity is far from being formed

therefore, in order to develop the functional component industry and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of production enterprises, we should first give them the same attention as the host, and give a certain preference in industrial policies

secondly, to develop the functional component industry, we must make a difference in the construction of the industry university research application alliance system, and its ultimate goal is application. Therefore, it is suggested that the government should introduce some policies to encourage industry users to adopt domestic CNC machine tools and functional components, and give more opportunities to domestic functional components. At the same time, the functional component enterprises themselves should also pay more attention to the cooperation with the host factory after the application of the tensile testing machine for a period of time, from point to area, strive to produce a demonstration effect in the application, and gradually improve the supporting capacity

finally, the functional component factory should form a strategic alliance with the main engine factory to speed up the development and common development, so as to improve the speed of the development of functional components. This is a very necessary way of development, but it should be said that it is not easy. The reasons are as follows: first, the development of our market economy is not perfect; Second, the rapid development in recent years has led to the illusion that there is nothing difficult to do with CNC machine tools, and they have launched. As for functional components, they all rely on outsourcing. But the result of these years' development is that we have made wedding clothes for others. More importantly, our machine tool level has not really improved

suggestion 4: the host machine factory and the system factory should cooperate closely

Yu Dehai, general manager of Dalian Guangyang Technology Engineering Co., Ltd., believes that in order to develop the CNC system well, it is necessary to do system planning and achieve specialization. The CNC enterprise should cooperate closely with the host machine enterprise to better serve the host machine. Manufacturers engaged in numerical control system must study technology, machine tools, and key executive parts. Only in this way can they figure out what the numerical control system should do and solve what problems

the research and development of numerical control system is completely different from that of machine tools in terms of process, technology and process. The advantage of mainframe factory is that it has a relatively full understanding of demand. As for the two legged view put forward by the machine tool association, I think it is objective from the perspective of meeting the development needs of the machine tool industry. It is absolutely impossible for those who engage in software, control and hardware to engage in CNC systems without technology and machinery, which is absolutely impossible. Therefore, as a manufacturing enterprise of CNC system, we hope to cooperate closely with the host machine manufacturing enterprises and fully serve the host machine enterprises

if there is no perfect processing design and system planning, and there is no professional, precise and special support for any technology, this industry will not do well. There are objective laws in this, and it is not a problem that can be solved simply by financial resources

as for encouraging OEMs to develop CNC systems, the key is to see if OEMs have the ability to buy good experimental machines. The development of high-end CNC systems requires professional R & D teams, manufacturing and production teams and application technology teams, as well as a variety of experiments, testing conditions and even the corporate culture atmosphere required for relevant technological innovation. These can not be solved with money alone, and cannot be heated up. From the past development of the industry, the main engine factory has little successful experience in developing numerical control system, and with the development of numerical control technology, it will be more and more difficult

Zhao Meiling said that someone commented on the current technical situation of China's machine tool industry: functional component enterprises used the world's top key processing equipment, but failed to produce first-class functional components; The main engine factory adopts the world's top CNC system and functional components, but it does not produce first-class machine tools. No matter the main engine factory or the functional component enterprise, there are too many technical and technological problems to be solved. They should give full play to the advantages of professional production in their respective industries, support and promote each other, achieve common progress, and work together to promote the development of the whole industry
