GTY Rapid Fixture Advanced Automation Technology Promotes the Transformation of Machine Tool Manufacturing Industry

Introduction: The degree of automation of machine tool products has a vital influence on the performance of machine tools, such as speed and accuracy, and has also become an important factor to distinguish the grades of machine tools. Advanced automation technology and products will undoubtedly become an important direction for the transformation of machine tool manufacturing industry, and its development potential will be highlighted in this change.

In machine tool products, especially machine tool products, automation technology and products are applied to almost every part from control mechanism, executive mechanism to measurement and feedback mechanism. At present, almost all these automation products applied to machine tools and machine tool production lines are undergoing innovation.

As a big manufacturing country, China's machine tool industry has been running at a high level in recent years. Before the financial turmoil, this trend of high growth has been maintained for seven consecutive years. During this period, the manufacturing volume of machine tools in China has also increased from the 9th in the world to the 3rd in the world, and the output value has increased nearly six times. The title of "world factory" undoubtedly means huge market demand. This demand is like a huge thrust, which once pushed the machine tool manufacturing industry forward. It seems that there will never be a stagnant trend.

However, the turning point is still inevitable. Whether it is the raging and spreading of the financial turmoil or the internal changes of market demand, it has put forward a severe test to the machine tool manufacturing industry. At this moment, the transformation of the machine tool manufacturing industry is more urgent than before. The steps of product structure adjustment are started almost at the same time in various machine tool manufacturing enterprises in China, and it is the common aspiration of these enterprises to adapt to and respond to market demand as soon as possible under the new situation.

In fact, product structure adjustment is an important part of the transformation of machine tool manufacturing industry, and the degree of automation of machine tool products has become one of the important factors to distinguish machine tool grades. Advanced automation technology and products will undoubtedly become an important direction for the transformation of machine tool manufacturing industry, which will be a huge pull for the automation product market. And how will the automation market answer this questionnaire full of opportunities?

Policy and demand promote the transformation of machine tool manufacturing industry

It can be seen that after the financial crisis detonated, the momentum of the machine tool industry dropped significantly. However, in fact, the change of market demand structure for machine tool products has been taking place imperceptibly before the financial crisis. According to Wu Bolin, Director General of cmtba, from January to September, 2008, compared with the same period of last year, the sales of machine tool industry increased by 32%, the total output value increased by 31%, and the profit increased by 30%. From the data point of view, it still maintained a steady and rapid development, but at the same time it also showed some characteristics.

First of all, the sales situation of domestic machine tool products has changed greatly. Take metalworking machine tools as an example, the sales increased by 32%, and the output only increased by 2%. This shows that the market of low-grade and small-scale products has declined, while the market of high-grade and high value-added products has increased. On the other hand, from the perspective of import demand, from January to September, 2008, the import amount of China's machine tool industry increased substantially, but the import quantity decreased instead. Take a large number of machining centers and CNC lathes as examples, the average price of each imported machining center has increased by 13,000 US dollars, and the average price of CNC lathes has increased by 9,000 US dollars, which reflects that the market demand for foreign machine tools is rising instead of falling.

To sum up, domestic low-end machine tools are gradually experiencing overcapacity, while the production capacity of domestic enterprises for medium-sized machine tools is still insufficient, and the trend of demand change is self-evident. At this moment, the arrival of the financial crisis is playing a catalytic role, which makes the contrast of this situation more obvious. On the one hand, its influence on the manufacturing industry makes the demand for some low-end machine tools shrink. On the other hand, the country responded to the financial crisis and expanded a series of projects with huge investment in domestic demand, which once again stimulated the demand for machine tools.

At the same time, the attention of a series of relevant national policies to the machine tool industry has also become another driving force for the transformation of machine tool manufacturing industry.

Following the "Several Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Revitalization of Equipment Manufacturing Industry", since the development of high-grade CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment has been included in 16 key points, the state has never stopped paying attention to the machine tool industry. On December 24th, 2008, the meeting deliberated and approved in principle the "Implementation Plan for Major Special Projects of High-grade CNC Machine Tools and Basic Manufacturing Equipment".

According to the target plan, by 2020, China will have the ability to independently develop the main products of high-grade CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment, and the overall technical level will enter the international advanced ranks, with some products leading the international market; Establish complete R&D and supporting capabilities of functional components; About 80% of the high-grade CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment needed for aerospace, ships, automobiles and power generation equipment manufacturing will be based in China.

Automation technology potential highlights machine tool industry.

The degree of automation of machine tool products has a crucial influence on the performance of machine tools such as speed and precision, and it has also become an important factor to distinguish machine tools. Advanced automation technology and products will undoubtedly become an important direction for the transformation of machine tool manufacturing industry, and its development potential will be highlighted in this change.

In machine tool products, especially machine tool products, automation technology and products are applied to almost every part from control mechanism, executive mechanism to measurement and feedback mechanism. At present, almost all these automation products applied to machine tools and machine tool production lines are undergoing innovation. As the control center of Chinese machine tools, CNC system includes many technologies such as motion control, intelligent technology, self-diagnosis, etc. Multi-axis and multi-system CNC devices have been developed and put into application. The control mode of servo system is gradually changing from conventional signal type to bus type. Servo drivers and motors are also developing in the direction of digitalization, communication and intelligence.

In this respect, many cutting-edge automation technology trends have also been shown. For example, the application of linear motor and torque motor is a good example. Madzak and Mori Seiki's gantry guide rail of most specifications no longer uses rolling guide rail, but uses linear motor. thk's linear motor can reach the speed of 720m/min under the load of 3000n, which is a breakthrough. However, torque motors used to be used only on small-sized machine tools, but now they can be applied to larger-sized machine tools. The maturity of these technologies is also constantly promoting the improvement of machine tool performance.

Domestic automation industry needs to seize the opportunity

In the face of severe economic situation, infrastructure industries such as rail transit and electric power, which are greatly encouraged and supported, are becoming the focus of attention, and the machine tool industry is undoubtedly the beneficiary of the rise of these infrastructure industries. If we can wait for an opportunity to seek steady development in this field, it is equivalent to seizing the good opportunity of hiding in the crisis. This is true not only for international manufacturers that have already taken advantage in the field of automation, but also for some domestic automation enterprises with development potential.

The field of numerical control system is very representative in this respect. Although domestic enterprises have not been dominant in the field of numerical control systems, the market share of domestic numerical control systems has been steadily improved in the past two years. According to the person in charge of the CNC system branch of China Machine Tool Association, there are currently 30 to 40 major CNC system manufacturers in China, forming a scale that can't be underestimated, and the development and improvement of products have also made remarkable progress.

In order to meet the matching requirements of numerical control system and make up for the weakness of this domestic brand, a number of enterprises have also developed AC servo drive system and AC spindle servo control system, completed the development of 20 ~ 20～200a AC servo system and its matching AC servo motor series, and formed a series of products and mass production capacity. Moreover, compared with some international manufacturers, many domestic CNC systems can be opened to domestic production enterprises, which is convenient for secondary development, and this is also a place for competition.
