From small screws to large aerospace engine manufacturing, ship submarine propeller processing to nuclear power plant generator rotor production, the soundness of China's industrial system and industrial upgrading, with the industrial manufacturing crown of CNC lathes is very relevant. For nearly half a century, China's industrial machine tools rely heavily on foreign imports, but due to the technical blockade of high-end CNC machine tools in Europe and the United States, China can only get low-end special machine tools and automation machine tools.
To understand the high-end CNC machine tools for a country's industrial system in the end how critical? It is necessary to mention the occurrence of the famous 1983 CNC lathe competition Toshiba machine tool thing. In that year, Japan's Tsuchiura port, a Soviet cargo ship that did not look wrong slowly sailed away from the port under the cover of night, and the ship was loaded with multiple containers of high-end five-axis CNC lathes, which is the core of Europe and the United States to establish the Paris Coordinating Committee of the Soviet Union and other countries strictly prohibited the sale of top equipment. Just five years after the sale was uncovered, two Toshiba section chiefs were arrested, and the Japanese president himself publicly apologized. But in the matter the rights of Europe and the United States suffered, as it was right after this that the difficulty of tracking Soviet ships and submarines by the United States and the West began to increase, as the noise of the extremely criticalX Rapid was significantly reduced and high-end CNC assisted the Soviet Union in creating more sophisticated propeller equipment. Thereafter Toshiba began to suspend the sale of any equipment for China and the Soviet Union for almost a year.
Thirty years of river east and west, now the world's major CNC lathe market center has long shifted from Europe and the United States to Asia, in addition to the traditional machine tool manufacturing powerhouse Japan, China, a newly industrialized country to catch up to occupy the CNC machine tool manufacturing market, the current share has reached 25%, ranking first in the world. And Germany and Japan were 16.4% and 16.3% share in the third. Although China's production and machine tool consumption in spite of the top, but in the high-end CNC machine tools still have a part of the core technology needs to be introduced from abroad. And no mastery of high-end CNC machine tool technology, then it is difficult to become an industrial power.
In recent years, domestic industrial technology continues to improve, by the Jiangsu Duoling company set up China's first five-axis machining center, the center was built with milestone significance, after the Beijing First Machine Tool Factory, Jinan Second Machine Tool Factory, etc. successively study out 5-axis CNC lathe, high-end CNC machine tool market is no longer all in the hands of Europe and the United States. 2017 summer, by the GREE Group launched the GA-F500 five-axis linkage machine tool officially appeared, spindle speed of 12,000 revolutions per minute, precision error control within 0.005mm. The five-axis CNC machine tools manufactured by Dalian KD are exported to Germany, a traditional machine tool powerhouse. CNC machine tool industry in China to get a long development, I believe that soon, China will break the monopoly of Europe and the United States technology, into the manufacture of high-end CNC machine tools in a large country.
