Recently, in an introductory meeting, the executive vice-president of China Association of Automatic Lathe Tools Industry made such a speech: the overall situation of China's machine tool industry in 2009 is good. According to the data of the first 11 months released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the annual growth is expected to reach 12%, the total industrial output value can reach 380 billion yuan, and the output value of machine tools has jumped to the first place in the world. After rapid development in recent years, China's machine tool output has been ranked third in the world since 2006, while Germany and Japan, which ranked the first two, suffered a setback in 2009, falling by more than 30%. China surpassed other countries with its own growth, ranked the first in the world in output value, and maintained the first in machine tool consumption for the ninth consecutive year. In particular, the technological level of machine tools in Chinese military enterprises has made rapid progress with the help of experts imported from Russia.
In 2009, China's machine tool industry grew proudly in the global downturn, but it should be noted that the industrialization level of China's high-end CNC machine tools is not high, the high-end CNC machine tools needed in the domestic market are still mainly dependent on imports, and a large number of machine tool manufacturing enterprises are still very weak.
At the same time, despite the effect of product structure adjustment in machine tool industry, the value of single machine tool has increased significantly, but it is worth noting that the average profit of enterprises in the industry has not risen, but has fallen by 1% in the whole industry. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, but he believes that one of the important reasons is that, despite the upgrading of the whole machine product, the main functional components still rely on imports.
"The cost of importing high-grade CNC systems and functional components increases, which undoubtedly seriously affects the profitability of enterprises. This involves the adjustment of industrial structure. In the whole machine tool industry chain, the development of CNC systems and functional components for the whole machine is obviously lagging behind. He explained in detail that the rapid development of machine tool mainframe in our country for 89 years has achieved great development and made remarkable progress in strengthening, but the progress of functional components and CNC system is not great. This relative lag has caused serious defects in industrial structure and greatly affected the sustainability of further development of high-end CNC machine tools.
A considerable proportion of the core technology of machine tool products are concentrated on CNC system and key functional components. Without independent advanced functional components and CNC system, to a certain extent, there is no complete core technology. "In a sense, some of our existing high-end CNC machine tools have become a combination of high-end CNC systems and functional components in the West, which is also the main reason why the price of our own brand of high-end CNC machine tools is higher than that of imported brands." He pointed out with concern that the problem of industrial structure would seriously restrict the overall level of CNC machine tool industry.
Speaking of the way to break through this bottleneck, he pointed out: "The Association has been making every effort to appeal for and actively strive for policy support, and finally to actively guide through the combination of policy orientation and market economy. For example, we are also appealing to relevant departments to give preferential policies of VAT reduction and exemption to high-end CNC systems and functional components enterprises, so as to guide them in the simplest and most effective way.
