"Made in China 2025" interpretation: to promote the development of high-end CNC machine tools

"Made in China" 2025 "lists CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment as" strategic areas for accelerating breakthroughs ", which proposes to strengthen forward-looking deployment and key technological breakthroughs, and actively plan to seize future technological and industrial competitive manufacturing points, and improve the international Division of labor level and voice. The proposal of this strategic goal is determined by the strategic characteristics of CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment industry and the characteristics of the development stage. We should carefully study and understand and thoroughly implement it.

1. CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment have strategic industrial characteristics

1. Anchoring the global competitive position of China's equipment manufacturing industry

CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment are the "working machines" of the equipment manufacturing industry. The technical level and product quality of a country's machine tool industry are important indicators to measure the development level of its equipment manufacturing industry. "Made in China" 2025 CNC machine tools and basic Manufacturing equipment industry is listed as one of the strategic areas of China's manufacturing industry, the main reason is that it has an "anchoring" effect on the position of a country's manufacturing industry, especially the equipment manufacturing industry in the international division of labor: CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment are the foundation of manufacturing value generation and the fulcrum of industrial leap, and are the core of basic manufacturing capacity. Only with a solid basic manufacturing capacity can it be possible to produce advanced equipment products, so as to realize the production of high-value products.

2. Support the strategic needs of national defense and industrial security

In terms of national defense security, CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment have a strategic place beyond economic value for manufacturing advanced national defense equipment. The material, structure and processing technology of many key parts in modern national defense equipment have certain particularity and processing difficulty. Ordinary processing equipment and traditional processing technology can not meet the requirements. Multi-axis linkage, high-speed and high-precision CNC machine tools can meet the processing requirements. Even in today's global integration, developed countries still adopt technological blockade and restrictions on our country. In terms of industrial safety, with the acceleration of the upgrading of the domestic manufacturing industry, the competition between high-tech and high value-added industries represented by the equipment manufacturing industry and developed countries has intensified. Construction machinery, electrical machinery, and transportation equipment are entering the international high-end market. However, there is still a certain gap in the processing accuracy, reliability, efficiency, automation, intelligence and environmental protection of domestic machine tool products, which leads to the overall competitiveness of the industry is not strong.

3. To meet the important support of the transformation and upgrading of the user field

At present, the demand structure of downstream users in the machine tool industry is showing a high-end development trend. Many industries will carry out large-scale and deep-seated structural adjustment and upgrading. There is an urgent demand for high-quality and high-tech machine tools. Generally speaking, the market demand for medium and high-grade CNC machine tools is rising rapidly, Users need more high-speed, high-precision, composite, flexible, multi-axis linkage, intelligent, high-stiffness and high-power CNC machine tools. For example, the automobile industry shows the development trend of mass production, multi variety and rapid model update, and the development of new energy vehicles is accelerated, which requires the continuous development of processing equipment in the direction of precision, efficiency and intelligence. In the field of aerospace industry, with the rapid increase in the demand for civil aircraft and the cross-generational development of military aircraft, the new generation of aircraft is moving towards light weight, high reliability, long life, high stealth, multi-configuration, rapid response and Low-cost manufacturing and other directions. The new generation of technology urgently needs more advanced processing equipment to carry, and aviation manufacturing equipment is developing in the direction of automation, flexibility, digitization and intelligence. For example, in the manufacture of aircraft engines, which is committed to the breakthrough of the "two-machine special project", typical parts such as engine blades, complete machine case and bladed disc are gradually developing towards large size, complex profile, lightweight structure and precision manufacturing, especially the large number of applications of new lightweight materials such as high-strength high-temperature heat-resistant alloys. The geometric configuration of these integral structural parts is complex and difficult to process, new and higher requirements are put forward for large torque and high precision CNC machine tools. The portability or movable multi-axis linkage CNC equipment required for the maintenance of large-scale structural parts and large-scale equipment in different places, this processing method of processing large-scale workpieces with small machine tools without fixed base and reconfigurable groups poses greater challenges to the structural design, process specifications and energy-efficient processing technology of new CNC equipment.

4. is the strategic high ground of the new technological revolution

The elements of intelligent manufacturing, energy Internet and new generation information technology innovation included in the new round of scientific and technological revolution provide traction power for technological breakthroughs in China's equipment manufacturing industry, and also provide a huge market for equipment manufacturing industry, especially high-end equipment manufacturing industry. The machine tool industry is an important intersection of information technology and industrial technology, and the industry itself has strong sensitivity to new technologies. It is also the main source of the diffusion of emerging technologies. Driven by the wave of new technological revolution, the trend of integrated innovation in the machine tool industry is obvious. The world's leading companies are accelerating the integration of new technologies into the machine tool industry, and network technology and intelligent technology are accelerating the integrated application of machine tool products. More and more internationally renowned machine tool parts companies and complete machine companies are accelerating the integrated application of new technologies in CNC machine tools.

5. The strategic fulcrum of the adjustment of the global manufacturing pattern

In the post-crisis era, developed economies have attached importance to the development of their own real economy: or continue to promote the integration and development of emerging technologies to promote the high-end industrial technology; or by reconstructing the industrial chain, let more high value-added production and manufacturing links and matching jobs return to the local area. The United States has successively proposed the implementation of the "Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Plan" and the "Advanced Manufacturing National Strategic Plan" to develop advanced manufacturing and technology; Germany has proposed a blueprint for the development of industrial 4.0, and is committed to CPS as the core and smart factories as the carrier to develop German industrial 4.0 and position it as the technology platform for a new round of industrial revolution; Japan has published a blueprint for its industrial structure and identified 10 cutting-edge technology fields, and relying on this to strengthen the domestic manufacturing industry; the United Kingdom, South Korea, India, Taiwan and other regions have also put forward active strategies and policies to promote the integration of emerging technologies in the equipment industry such as CNC machine tools. The machine tool industry has always been an important strategic layout point for major countries and leading companies. The future manufacturing landscape will change and adjust, especially for high-strategic industries such as global automobiles, aerospace, and high-end equipment manufacturing. The machine tool industry is an important strategic fulcrum. It plays an important role in the future competitiveness leverage. my country should strengthen its emphasis on the machine tool industry, lay out key strategic areas in advance, and strive for a favorable position for global competition in the manufacturing industry.

2. industrial upgrading trend is obvious

1. Break through key core technologies and form a batch of iconic products

In the aviation field, we have independently developed heavy forging equipment such as 800MN large die forging press and 120MN aluminum alloy plate tension drawing machine, which fills the gap in the overall forming technology of large-scale heavy parts in the domestic aviation field and provides a strong guarantee for the cross-generation development of military aircraft and the development of large aircraft. Among them, the 800MN large die forging press has realized the integral formation of more than 30 kinds of key titanium alloy parts in the aviation field, and the high quality aluminum alloy thick plate produced by the 120MN grade aluminum alloy wide plate tension stretching machine has been applied to the main bearing structural parts such as aircraft wings, thus getting rid of the dilemma that China's large aircraft aluminum alloy thick plate is completely dependent on imports.

In the field of automobile manufacturing, the large-scale fast and efficient CNC automatic stamping production line has won the batch order of the production line of the local automobile factory in the United States in the international bidding with the world-class enterprises, which has been recognized and respected by the international counterparts. At present, the domestic market share of automobile panel stamping line exceeds 70%, and the global market share has exceeded 30%, which has effectively promoted the autonomy of domestic automobile equipment.

In the field of power generation equipment, the 36000-ton black vertical metal extrusion machine has realized the independent production of domestic high-end heat-resistant steel large-diameter thick-wall seamless steel pipes used in 1000MW ultra-supercritical thermal power units.

2. Optimization and adjustment of product structure and steady improvement of technical level

First of all, the level of high-end equipment to improve rapidly. At present, more than 10 types of equipment such as automatic stamping lines for large automobile panels have reached the international leading level, and import substitution can be fully realized. High-speed gantry five-axis machining center and more than 20 types of products have basically reached the international advanced level, with the level of replacing imported products. Precision horizontal machining center formed with independent intellectual property rights and flexible manufacturing system core technology. High-speed, composite and other high-end CNC machining centers have completed phased research and development, but there is still a certain gap between functional performance and reliability and the international advanced level. Secondly, the numerical control system ladder forward. my country has made great progress in the research and development of mid-to-high-end CNC systems. Since 2010, it has accumulated more than 35000 domestic mid-to-high-end CNC systems in key areas such as aerospace, energy, shipping, and automobiles, and has achieved import substitution. Multi-channel, multi-axis linkage and other high-performance CNC system products to break the monopoly of foreign technology, the main technical indicators have basically reached the level of the international mainstream high-end CNC system, to achieve a variety of high-speed, precision CNC machine tools. High-grade CNC system in key military enterprises to achieve small batch applications. The development of the standard CNC system to achieve mass production, the domestic market share increased from 10% to 25%. Several industrial production bases have been formed. Among them, Guangzhou CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. has formed an annual production capacity of 100000 sets of various CNC systems, ranking second in the world. China's numerical control system has initially possessed the competitiveness with similar foreign products, and has realized the batch export of numerical control system. From 2010 to 2014, more than 9600 sets of various numerical control systems were exported, including nearly 700 sets of five-axis linkage numerical control system. Finally, the product quality level of functional components has been steadily improved, and the variety series has been continuously improved. Domestic functional components have been achieved with the machine tool host batch matching; tool products have basically the ability to provide modern cutting tools for the automotive industry. The application demonstration and batch matching of CNC system, functional components and tools with CNC machine tool host will help to form a complete industrial chain and promote the structural adjustment of machine tool industry.

3. Independent innovation has been significantly improved and sustainable development has been guaranteed.

High-end development of 3. industry has a long way to go

China's machine tool industry occupies an important position in the world machine tool industry system and the global machine tool market, but it still cannot be regarded as a machine tool power. Compared with the world machine tool power, China's machine tool industry still has a certain gap, especially in the high-end machine tool competitiveness is not strong. In addition, affected by the complex economic situation at home and abroad, the development of China's machine tool industry has returned to the new normal, and the requirements for the transformation and upgrading of the industry to the middle and high end are urgent.

1. International competitiveness needs to be improved

According to the consulting agency Gardener statistics, in the world's machine tool consumer market, China's machine tool exports in 2014 amounted to $3.3 billion, accounting for less than 5% of the world's total machine tool consumption, while Japan and Germany accounted for more than 10%. At the same time, a considerable part of the high-and mid-range CNC machine tools that are urgently needed in China rely on imports. For example, imported equipment in the automotive field accounts for more than 40%.

2. The development of key parts of the machine tool industry needs to be strengthened

Domestic functional components in terms of variety, quantity, grade can not meet the host supporting requirements, domestic mid-range supporting functional components market share still needs to be improved. The competitiveness of the supporting functional components industry needs to be rapidly improved.

3. Process validation and demonstration applications need to be strengthened

From prototype development to actual production application, CNC machine tools need to be verified by a large number of tests and continuous improvement in manufacturing process, reliability and precision retention, engineering, etc. At the same time, users need to provide process verification. And in the process verification and application demonstration is also a short board of the development of CNC machine tool industry in China.

4. High pressure on industrial development

Global machine tool production and consumption continue to show a shrinking trend. According to data released by US Gardner companies, global machine tool consumption in 2014 was US $75.3 billion, up only 0.3 percent from 2013. Global machine tool production declined for three consecutive years. Global machine tool output in 2014 was US $81.2 billion, down 3.1 percent from 2014. China's CNC machine tool industry also continued to operate under pressure and was in a downward range as a whole. In 2014, the output of domestic metal processing machine tools decreased by 2% year-on-year, of which, the output of metal cutting machine tools decreased by 1.7, and the output of metal forming machine tools decreased by 3.3. At the same time, the demand for imported machine tools in the domestic market rose instead of falling. In 2014, the total import of machine tools was 17.78 billion US dollars, an increase of 10.8 percent over the same period last year, of which the import of metal processing machine tools was 10.83 billion US dollars, an increase of 7.6 percent over the same period last year. This shows that the domestic machine tool industry is difficult to meet the high-end needs of enterprises, and the domestic machine tool industry is under the double superposition of cyclical pressure and structural pressure.
