Analysis of the direction of technology development in the world machine tool industry

At present, the following developments have taken place in the technological development of the world machine tool industry:

1, composite processing technology is more widely used

New composite processing machines such as turning and milling machine tools, grinding and grinding machine tools, gear processing compound machine tools, turning and milling composites and 5-axis linkage combined machine tools are constantly emerging; heavy-duty machine tools add multi-functional accessories and turntables, etc. The trend is obvious; metal cutting and special processing compounding have made new progress, and laser, electric processing and cutting processing composite technology have already matured product promotion and application. The popularization and application of composite processing technology will have an important impact on multi-variety and small-batch production processes.

2, direct drive technology application speed

Due to the advancement of power electronics and numerical control technology, as well as the maturity of components such as linear motors, torque motors, electric spindles, and grating inspections, the application speed of direct drive technology in CNC machine tools has accelerated. New products from many foreign machine tool companies have been driven by linear motors. . The application of direct drive technology will greatly promote the structural change and performance improvement of CNC machine tools.

3, micro-manufacturing technology emerged

Inter-Micro refers to a new high-efficiency, green, high-precision micro-manufacturing technology for processing various micro-parts in 3D shapes. At present, with the support of the European Union, research teams composed of universities, research institutes and enterprises from Germany, Italy and other countries have achieved relevant results, such as: ultra-precision 5-axis linkage micro-diamond and cubic boron nitride tool processing technology equipment. . Micro-manufacturing technology has great application potential and should attract the attention of the industry.

4, low temperature processing technology into practical

Studies have shown that the application of low-temperature processing technology chip removal rate is 2-4 times the original processing method, tool life can be extended by 2 times. Especially in the field of hard metal cutting such as titanium alloy, nickel-based alloy, ductile iron (CG1), the cutting effect is remarkable. Foreign companies have introduced low-temperature processing technology equipment and gained application experience in aerospace manufacturing.

5. Green manufacturing technology is on the rise

Green manufacturing technology is a comprehensive technology. Saving energy, saving resources and increasing productivity are the core requirements of green manufacturing technology. The application of green manufacturing technology is an urgent issue in the development of CNC machine tools in China. In fact, the application of green manufacturing technology is both an objective requirement for sustainable development and a need for market competition.

6. “Solution” is an important form of industrial development

Providing users with "solutions", reflecting the integration of technology and management, is an inevitable requirement of technological advancement in the times. A comprehensive solution is an advanced form of today's manufacturing services. In the future, the machine tool processing enterprise will not be able to meet all the requirements of the customer only by providing the host computer. Only by providing a one-stop "solution", becoming the "technologist" of the user and providing "long-term service and contract" can it be fierce. Win the order in the market competition.
