Domestic machine tools to be upgraded to solve the four problems is the key

Since the beginning of the new century, with the large-scale manufacturing industry in developed countries shifting to China and the domestic manufacturing industry has also accelerated the pace of technological transformation, domestic CNC machine tools have begun to enter the manufacturing sector in large numbers. Then a sharp contradiction quickly surfaced, advanced CNC machine tools, not equipped with advanced domestic tools, had to be equipped with "foreign knife." The product structure of China's cutting tool industry for several decades has finally exposed serious flaws in the new development period and dragged on the hind legs of manufacturing modernization.

According to expert analysis, the gap in our country is phased. The main performance is that the manufacturing industry is still dominated by low-end manufacturing. The added value of products is not high, only 26.23%. As an exporting country, China exports its goods mainly to labor-intensive products with low technological content. At the same time, the energy consumption of China's manufacturing industry is 20% to 30% higher than the internationally developed level.

At present, Chinese cutting tool companies have already occupied half of the market through continuous learning and strategic planning. However, in the course of development, the company still highlights several fatal problems. If insufficient attention is paid to improper handling, it will seriously affect companies. The development and advancement.

At the present stage of low technological and technological content, carbide cutting tools have dominated the tool type in developed countries, with a proportion of up to 70%. However, high-speed steel cutters are being reduced by 1% to 2% per year, and the proportion has now fallen below 30%. At the same time, carbide cutting tools have become the main tool required by processing companies in China, and are widely used in the automotive and parts production, mold manufacturing, aerospace and other heavy industries, but China's cutting tool companies are blindly and massively The production of high-speed steel knives and some low-grade standard knives do not take into account the market saturation and the needs of the enterprise. Ultimately, the high-end, high-tech cutting-edge tool market has been given away to foreign companies. According to statistics, the current annual sales of cutting tools in China are approximately 14.5 billion yuan, of which the proportion of cemented carbide tools is less than 25%, but the carbide cutting tools required by the domestic manufacturing industry already account for more than 50% of the cutting tools. Blind production has already failed to meet the growing demand for carbide cutting tools in the domestic manufacturing industry. This has created a vacuum in the mid-to-high end market and it has finally been occupied by foreign companies.

Low value-added products With a total of 16,500 tons of cemented carbide produced in China, there are 4,500 tons for the production of cutting tools, and the number is comparable to that of Japan. However, the value of finished tools is only US$800 million, which is far less than Japan’s US$2.5 billion. This fully shows that the overall production level of domestic high-performance cemented carbide cutting tools is still quite different from that of foreign countries. Therefore, under the premise that domestic companies cannot meet market demand, the demand for manufacturing will have to be solved by relying on a large number of imports. According to statistics, the annual sales growth of major foreign companies in China's high-end tooling market has reached 30%, which has exceeded the average annual growth rate of domestic tools.

Services and international non-integration of multinational companies, such as Germany's Xiongke, Japan's Yujie, Denmark's Unimog and other tool manufacturing companies, have accumulated a wealth of production experience in the long historical development, which also determines the form of service is not The "single-hammer sale," which goes beyond the primary sales stage provided only to the customer's tool, promptly proposes a solution based on the customer's problems in the production process, which integrates sales into the company's production. The advanced form of the process has become a common sales method for foreign companies. This is why the products produced by well-known cutting tools companies are expensive and have a market. Some Chinese companies, despite their “big picture”, cannot win the favor of customers.

The 21st century is an era of networkization and informationization. The level of enterprise informatization will become an important indicator to measure the level of modernization of enterprises. Networking and informationization can not only improve corporate office efficiency, save office expenses, and speed up response. It can also provide market information, assist enterprise judgment, and build corporate brands.

At the same time, whether to value and understand the use of media to promote itself is also one of the phenomena of differentiation between Chinese and foreign tool companies. Every time before or during major exhibitions, some well-known international companies use the industry media to promote their own corporate brands or new products. Corporate executives readily accept and attach great importance to media interviews, but some Chinese companies may be Being shy or dissatisfied and unwilling to accept media interviews and reports, eventually missed the "free" opportunity to promote products and companies.
