The Influence of CNC Industry

With the development of the medical industry, the application of machine tools in the medical field is becoming increasingly widespread. In the field of machine tool equipment applications, the market for medical equipment ranks third, with an expected total market share of 1.3 billion euros in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, accounting for 8.6% of the entire market The annual growth rate of this field will remain between 7% and 10% in the next 5 years, depending on the type of medical equipment referred to. This healthy growth trend also indirectly reflects the increasing demand for high-precision medical equipment in the market.
According to the "Analysis Report on Market Demand Forecast and Investment Strategy Planning of China's CNC Machine Tool Industry", since 2004, the rapid expansion of production capacity in industries such as automobiles and parts, aerospace equipment, high-speed trains, military, electronic information, power equipment, ships, engineering machinery, and molds has driven the high-speed growth of machine tool consumption. Driven by the national revitalization of equipment manufacturing industry and international industrial transfer, the growth rate of investment in equipment and tool procurement in China will continue to maintain around 20% in the next 5-10 years, and the demand for the machine tool industry will continue to grow rapidly.
What is the CNC industry? Generally refers to the CNC machine tool industry. But I believe that in addition to CNC machine tools, the CNC industry should also include CNC systems, servo drives, motors, sensors, execution components, machine tool bodies and manufacturing processes, machine tool processing technologies, etc., covering disciplines such as mechanics, electronics, control, automation, software, materials, and technology. The CNC industry is a capital intensive, labor-intensive, and knowledge intensive industry. If CNC machine tools are compared to a person, the CNC system is the human brain, servo drives are the human muscles, motors are the human joints, sensors are the human eyes, executing components (rotary worktable or angle milling head) are the human hands and feet, and the machine tool body (bed/bare machine) is the human skeleton. Simply put, the emergence of CNC machine tools replaces manual operation by humans, making production and manufacturing more standardized, professional, and consistent, without relying on human labor. But its essence of serving the craft remains unchanged.
Numerical control machine tools are not ordinary commodities. High end numerical control machine tools are listed as strategic goods in the "Batumi" list (now known as the Wassenaar Agreement). Guangyang Group once purchased a five axis linkage horizontal turning milling composite machining center from Okuma Corporation in Japan. The machine tool has been loaded into a container and is still detained by the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry on the grounds of involving Japan's national strategic security. From then on, the core technical personnel of Guangyang Group were prohibited from entering Japanese territory for any official reason.
The numerical control industry affects the economic development and hard power development of a country. It supports military forces such as the army, air force, and navy, and even affects mobile phones, cars, and screws around us, all of which involve numerical control technology. But most importantly, it is deeply rooted in the manufacturing industry. The production saturation capacity of manufacturing enterprises is determined by the CNC industry. Regardless of the type of manufacturing enterprise, its production tools or means of production directly or indirectly require CNC machine tools as mother machines to participate in the production process. Therefore, the production limit of manufacturing enterprises is mainly determined by the CNC industry. For example, in the automotive industry, the production capacity of automobiles is limited by the production capacity and assembly efficiency of parts, and almost all parts are processed and produced by CNC machine tools. In domestic automobile manufacturers and parts factories, almost all precision machining processes come from imported machine tools. Therefore, the output efficiency and quality of CNC machine tools determine the production capacity and quality of automobiles.
