The production of power generation equipment to break through into a breakthrough in machine tool industry upgrade

In the “Machine Tools Industry during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan Period” adopted by the former, it was pointed out that one of the landmark goals of the machine tool industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period is to become the core of key industries such as power generation equipment manufacturing. Breakthrough in the provision of equipment and services in the manufacturing sector. Since most of the energy equipment such as power generation is in high-end equipment, breakthroughs in this area will indicate a significant increase in the technological level of the machine tool industry.

A series of breakthroughs have been made in the field of energy equipment manufacturing. As of the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China’s machine tool industry has been ranked first in production and consumption in the world in terms of overall scale. In 2009 and 2010, the scale of industrial economy ranked first in the world; in 2010, the output value of metal processing machine tools was 20.9 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for about 1/3 of the world; since 2002, China has been the world's largest machine tool consumer market for nine consecutive years; in 2010 The machine tool consumption amounted to 28.3 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 45% of the world's machine tool consumption.

During the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, China's machine tool industry has made great achievements. Especially in the field of energy equipment, the machine tool industry has achieved a series of breakthroughs. For example, a machine tool for the nuclear power industry in Beijing for the nuclear power industry developed a gantry width of 10.5 meters CNC five-axis linkage milling and milling machine tool; Wuhan heavy machine tool for the nuclear power industry research and development of the rotary diameter of 5 meters, 500 tons of super heavy-duty horizontal boring lathe; Shenyang Machine Tool The HTM125 series turning and milling complex machining centers developed for the shipbuilding and power generation industries are a group of technologically advanced products with leading international standards. They have been well applied in the user industry.

The “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” took a breakthrough in core manufacturing fields such as power generation equipment. Despite the rapid development of China's machine tool industry, the industry’s deep-level technologies and industrialization technologies did not pass, and the proportion of industrialization of high-level innovation results was not widely used. According to the data, the total import value of machine tools in 2010 was US$9.24 billion, accounting for about one-third of the total consumption of machine tools in the country, and basically all medium and high-end products. From January to August this year, machine tool imports reached US$8.63 billion, an increase of 54.6% year-on-year. The key equipment in the core manufacturing sector mainly depends on imports, and the high-end CNC systems and major functional components rely more on imports.

According to the 04 major special implementation plan, the ratio of high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment required in the key manufacturing industries in the key industries is based on domestic proportions: 40% in automobile manufacturing, 50% in aerospace manufacturing, shipbuilding and power generation equipment manufacturing. The area is 70%. The significance of power generation equipment to the machine tool industry can be seen from this.

Judging from the current situation, enterprises in the industry have different degrees of heavy hardware, light software, heavy sales, and weak service tendencies. Lack of in-depth research on user processes, lack of the ability to provide users with comprehensive solutions. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, industry enterprises should focus on the individualized demand characteristics of the mid-to-high-end market, maximize the advantages of the local market’s unique services, and accelerate the upgrading of comprehensive service capabilities for the mid-to-high-end markets, complete by simple “product offerings. "Changes in the role of" to "user craftsman."

Effectively pulling the structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of the machine tool industry In addition to power generation equipment, power transmission and transformation equipment, large-scale petrochemical and coal chemical installations require a large number of heavy-duty, precision, multi-coordinate, high-efficiency, and special-purpose CNC machine tools to manufacture. In addition, new energy equipment such as wind power and solar energy is also becoming a major driving force for the rapid growth and technological progress of the machine tool industry. According to experts, the processing of new energy equipment is expected to stimulate the growth of the machine tool industry, because new energy equipment manufacturing requires a variety of sophisticated, large-scale CNC, special machine tools and supporting.

In fact, energy equipment not only provides a market for the machine tool industry, but also promotes the technological progress and industrial upgrading of the machine tool industry. As a key component of a nuclear pressure vessel, the water chamber head has long been working under high temperature, high pressure and corrosion conditions, and its design, material selection, processing and manufacturing have extremely strict requirements. These parts weigh several tens of tons to hundreds of tons, and their workpiece materials are generally low carbon low alloy steels. Although the hardness of these materials is not high, they have high toughness and strength, poor cutting performance, large cutting force during processing, high cutting temperature, severe vibration, and complex changes in cutting load. They are proposed for the bearing capacity and vibration resistance of machine tools. Very high demand. In order to meet this demand in the market, Qi Machine Tool Company invested scientific research force to develop the CXK5463X50/150 gantry mobile head milling machine, breaking the monopoly of foreign brands at one stroke.

"Machine tools industry" during the "Twelfth Five-Year" work points proposed to support the machine tool industry for key industries in the core manufacturing areas to develop a number of major new products, organize a number of industrialization technology research. At the same time, it is suggested that the major special projects of CNC machine tools increase the support for demonstration application projects and further highlight the key points. Under such a guiding ideology, the combination of the future of the machine tool industry and the field of energy equipment manufacturing will become increasingly closer.
