In 2004, China exported high-speed steel cutting tools 1.939 billion, equivalent to 25 times that of Japan's annual output of high-speed steel cutting tools, the average price of $ 0.20 each, the equivalent of Japan's only high-speed steel cutting tools similar 1/20; and our high-performance tool the imports have soared from $ 80 million in 2000 to 2004, $ 400 million. China Machine Tool Industry Association Branch Secretary Shen tool bolstering departure has once again brought this set of data, Chinese tool industry "low melee, high fall" situation is indeed worrisome. Why Chinese tool companies in the global "high-precision, high efficiency, high reliability and a dedicated" of the environment can still hold the traditional tools of production to survive? Chinese tool industry in the end is able to catch up with the world's tool industry?
Three feet of frozen cold day
It now appears that domestic business tool is still filled with the monotony of standardized tool production, this mode of production is now much-maligned, yet we go back and look at the history, this mode of production, not only in China, even in the world including developed countries, was once the stand off contribution. It was once adapted to the needs of industrialization in developed countries, in the era of China's economic plan, there have been both production and sales booming situation, the new Chinese industrial construction played an important role.
Even today, a large number of domestic production of standardized tool still has its living truth. Although in recent years the rise of modern manufacturing in the country gradually, but the overall level of the manufacturing sector is still relatively backward, it is this backward manufacturing industry to protect the low-level tools, such standard tool on sales volume still has an absolute advantage after all, many domestic small and medium enterprises, including small workshops or satisfied with this standardized production.
Investigate its historical reasons, we have seen, the mid-20th century occurred in the third industrial revolution, with atomic energy, space technology and computer technology as the representative of the high-tech human society entered a new period, which makes the manufacturing sector has been the West rapid development, but also to promote the progress of industrial tools from a certain extent; and since the time of the Chinese civil war and leftist mistakes, from the world development trend, missed development opportunities. After the 1980s, information technology maturity, to create the conditions for a new round of development of CNC machine tool manufacturing industry as a whole, Western countries began to enter the modern tool manufacturing "starting point, large investment scale, internationalization" age; this time China has only just started reform and opening up, we can imagine, has long planned economic impact, resulting in the original tool enterprises continue to stay in a rut, to continue providing the market with standard tools. Thus, the Chinese tool industry, the worse the farther pace with the world's developed countries.
It can be said that this is indeed the production of a low level of productivity of the decision. But we seek the truth of its existence does not mean recognition of its realistic rationality, but from the history to find inspiration.
After all, the world is dynamic, on the one hand the rapid development of modern manufacturing in the country, on the one hand the traditional standardized production is still a large market space - actually getting smaller and smaller, but in this dynamic process, it is clear, modern manufacturing has gradually become Liaoyuanzhishi manufacturing after experiencing some swords, it is bound to the original mode of production trounced, which eliminated. We obviously can not sit still waiting after by the level of productivity and ultimately improve again there is a complementarity between the development tool industry, machine tool manufacturing and the entire industry, mutually reinforcing relationship.
In recent years, some of the emerging domestic manufacturers gradually began to show the urgent need for modern tools, especially advanced foreign manufacturers have set up factories in China, so that the needs of the modern tools more intense. Although from the point of view, its domestic share of total demand for the tool is not great, but maintain a high growth rate. If domestic companies still indulge in the traditional tool tool complacency, it can be expected in the near future, some companies will losses, it will not only affect the development of the tool industry, the manufacturing sector will be subject to even implicated.
Future needs the joint efforts of the government and enterprises
In China Machine Tool Industry Association, a division of the research report, a description of the tool is this: "In the user survey of domestic CNC tool hysteresis phenomenon reflects very strong domestic CNC tool gap in life expectancy, reliability and so obvious, either. in the variety, performance and quality can not meet user requirements. As the domestic cutter variety, low life, seriously affecting the efficiency of CNC machine tools play. research enterprises imported CNC machine tools, CNC tool equipped with a large number of imports, due to their cost, users overwhelmed. "
It should be said, in recent years reflect the market situation and spare no effort to appeal to a lot of people in the industry, many companies and even government decision-making level has been acutely aware of the issue. Some companies began to gradually change the standardized production mode, will shift the focus of modern tools of production to meet the special needs of new manufacturing for production purposes, and thus realize the benefits of growth, but the country has the ability to transform this enterprise is only a minority .
In fact, this situation tool industry, not simply a tool for industrial or manufacturing problem itself, we can say that even now all industries are more or less the existence of the phenomenon of disorderly melee, only rely on the enterprise itself to increase research and development efforts, enhance service awareness, the difficulty is quite large. On the one hand, we need to rely on the socialist market economic system continuously improved, unified, open, competitive and orderly market environment to guide the development of enterprises and industry; on the other hand, must also improve macroeconomic regulation and control system, through monetary, fiscal good macroeconomic policies to regulate the market, limiting inflated low-end products, the rapid development of the tool industry to create a good environment.
This is especially the need to establish good government level policy orientation, the good news is, we see that Congress put forward we should take a new road to industrialization, such a high technological content, good economic returns, low resources consumption, little environmental pollution and human resource advantages into full play of the new road to industrialization, it is a necessary requirement to completely change the original extensive mode of production, are bound to limit the amount of resource consumption and poor efficiency standardization tool production. On the other hand, the state of development of the machine tool industry also give enough attention. "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", "National CNC machine tool industry development plan" will effectively promote the development of the machine tool industry.
After this level issues can be resolved to ensure that it really is the enterprise need to do. With a good macro environment, the majority of tools enterprises should look to the future, understand the development trend of international manufacturing industry, determined to change the mode of production, to provide "high-precision, high efficiency, high reliability and a dedicated" as a modern manufacturing tool services as well as the purpose of production, abandon the old misconceptions and process methods, imitation and creation simultaneously, really well prepared for the modern manufacturing equipment.
