Since the beginning of 2012, China's machine tool market has experienced a period of rapid development, and the growth rate has slowed down, and it has gradually fallen into a downturn. With the increasing technical requirements of industrial manufacturing for machine tool products, in recent years, China's machine tool transformation and upgrading has become a trend and trend. At the same time, many enterprises have expanded overseas markets, researched and developed new high-tech products, and developed into intelligent, informatized, and high-end products to prevent them from being eliminated by the market in the footsteps of the times. The Xiaobian of China Machine Tool Business Network has observed through facts that the transformation and upgrading is quite effective. After transformation and upgrading, to improve the technical content of enterprise workshop production lines and enterprise new products, China's machine tool enterprises have been recognized by the market and all parties through different forms.

Transforming and upgrading, adding vitality, machine tool orders are slowly increasing

After the transformation and upgrading, last year, Shenyang Machine Tool signed a contract with a US company for 47 vertical machining centers. The order was the largest single overseas order received by Shenyang Machine Tool Lijia Division in 2013. It is reported that the US customers originally used a machine tool of a Japanese brand. The processing time of a single workpiece is 24 minutes and 33 seconds. The products of Shenyang Machine Tool are optimized by technology, and all the processes can be completed in only 19 minutes and 33 seconds. Technological research and development allowed Shenyang Machine Tool to obtain this order.

Chongqing machine tools also tasted the sweetness after the transformation and upgrading. In November last year, Chongqing Machine Tool Group signed an order with nine YS3126CNC6 high-speed dry-cut hobbing machines from Shaanxi Fast Group, the largest automobile transmission manufacturer in the country. This is the first batch of domestic dry-cut hobbing machines that are mass-produced in the mainstream of automobile gears. The transformation and upgrading of Chongqing Machine Tool Group has achieved significant results.

At the beginning of this year, Taiwan's Dongtai, Aachen, Chengtai, Gaofeng, Fuyu, Xieyi Machinery and Yanzeke and other machine tool companies recently received a single return, order visibility to March, and even single to second End of season. The annual performance target is expected to increase by more than 10% from 2013. The transformation and upgrading has revitalized the company and the order volume has grown slowly.

According to statistics, in February 2014, the amount of machine tool orders (determined value) in Japan increased by 26.1% year-on-year, and the demand for orders from China increased by 71.9%, which led to an overall increase of 44.1% in Asia. From the data, the demand for machine tools in China's machine tool market. Something has picked up. The Japanese machine tool market is gradually picking up. The Xiaobian of China Machine Tool Business Network believes that China's machine tool market will also bottom out.

Domestic machine tools have been recognized as award-winning domestic and foreign awards

At the end of last year, Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd. won the “China Quality Award Nomination Award” in the first China Quality Award “China Quality Award”, becoming the only company in the national machine tool industry to receive this honor. The transformation and upgrading made Shenyang Machine Tool pay more attention to management performance and strive to improve the quality of products, services and operations, thus winning the “China Quality Award Nomination Award”.

At the beginning of this year, the 8th China CNC Machine Tool Exhibition (CCMT2014) was grandly opened in Shanghai. The “TS40 Turning and Milling Composite Flexible Manufacturing Unit” independently developed by Shandong Lunan Machine Tool Co., Ltd. won the highest honor of the “Spring Yan Award”. The "Spring Yan Award" is a machine tool award selected by the China Machine Tool Association organized by industry experts every two years. It has a heavy weight in the machine tool industry. Lunan Machine Tool maintains technical cooperation with many colleges and universities, domestic and foreign scientific research institutions and a group of doctoral tutors. The transformation and upgrading make Lunan innovative in science and technology, winning on the domestic platform and gaining advantages in the market. .

Focusing on the domestic focus from abroad, the iF Design Award was founded in 1953 and is one of the most influential design awards in the world. The award is selected once a year, with awards in four categories: concept award, product design award, material award, and graphic design award. This year's iF Design Award attracted more than 4,600 products from 55 countries around the world. The TK6920B CNC floor milling and boring machine and KHC63 horizontal machining center developed and manufactured by Kunming Machine Tool stood out from the numerous machine tools and won the product design award. This is the first time that China's machine tool industry has won this honor. The acquisition of the iF design award also indicates that the foreign machine tool industry recognizes the domestic machine tool and has established a reputation for the Kunming machine tool in foreign markets. For Kunming machine tools, the use of transformation and upgrading to improve the intelligence, information and technology of products not only brings honors to enterprises, but also brings market and wealth to enterprises.

Reviewing the success of the transformation and upgrading of well-known enterprises at home and abroad, the transformation and upgrading brings new opportunities and markets to enterprises. The road to transformation and upgrading is the road that China's machine tool enterprises must continue to go. Only by continuously innovating, constantly improving product technology, constantly optimizing the company's operation and management, and continuously improving the after-sales service of machine tools, can enterprises stand in the times. Industrial upgrading and transformation can bring huge market space. The downturn in China's machine tool market is only the darkness before dawn. On the other hand, transformation and upgrading can enhance the position of China's manufacturing in the international division of labor, and let China realize the transition from the low end of the industrial chain to the high end of the industrial chain.
