Six Trends in Machine Tool Industry Technology Development

The machine tool industry is now an important industry for processing and manufacturing. With the development of market demand and technology, the technological development of the machine tool industry is gradually showing the trend of human-friendly development. The specific performance is as follows:

1. More extensive application of composite processing technology New types of composite processing machine tools, such as turn-milling and milling machine tools, lathe compound machine tools, gear machining compound lathes, turning-milling compounding and 5-axis linkage combined machine tools, are emerging; heavy-duty machine tools increase multi-functionality Attachment and turntable, etc., the trend of composite processing is obvious; new progress has been made in the compounding of metal cutting and special processing, and laser, electric machining and cutting and processing composite technologies have already had mature product promotion applications. The promotion and application of composite processing technology will have an important impact on the production process of many varieties and small batches.

2. Speed ​​of application of direct-drive technology is accelerated Due to advances in power electronics and numerical control technology, as well as the maturation of components such as linear motors, torque motors, spindles, and gratings, the application speed of direct-drive technology in numerical control machine tools is accelerating. Many foreign machine tool companies The new product has been driven by a linear motor. The application of direct drive technology will greatly promote the structural changes and performance improvement of CNC machine tools.

3, micro-manufacturing technology emerges micro-manufacturing (Inter-Micro) refers to a high-efficiency, green, high-precision micro-manufacturing new technology for the processing of various miniature parts of the 3D shape. At present, under the auspices of the European Union, research groups composed of universities and research institutes in Germany, Italy, and other relevant countries have achieved relevant results, such as ultra-precision 5-axis linkage of micro-diamonds and cubic boron nitride tool processing technology equipment, etc. . Micro-manufacturing technology has great application potential and should attract the attention of the industry.

4. Low-temperature processing technology has been applied to 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 alloys, nickel-base alloys, ductile iron (CG1) cutting effect. Existing foreign companies have introduced low-temperature processing technology equipment, and obtained application experience in aviation manufacturing and processing.

5. Green Manufacturing Technology is Emerging 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 for 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. The “solution” is an important form of industrial development that provides users with “solutions” that embody the integration of technology and management, and is an inevitable requirement of technological progress in the era. A comprehensive solution is the advanced form of manufacturing services today. In the future, machine tool processing companies will not be able to meet the full requirements of their customers by simply providing a host for the use of the enterprise. Only by providing a one-stop “solution” and becoming a “technologist” for the user and providing “long-term service contract” can they become fierce. Wins orders in the market competition.
