Chen Huiren: China's high-end machine tools to achieve basic upgrades

Recently, Chen Huiren, deputy secretary-general of the China Machine Tool & Tooling Industry Association, stated that after years of efforts, China's mid-to-high-end machine tool products have basically achieved the upgrade and leap from “cannot do” to “can do”. However, machine tool manufacturing is “controlled by people”. The phenomenon still exists.

In recent years, China's machine tool and tool manufacturing industry has made great progress, and the economic scale has achieved rapid growth from small to large, ranking first in the world for many years. Chen Huiren said that in the field of high-end products, China has achieved breakthroughs from scratch, and the major specifications of mid-to-high-end machine tool products have basically been upgraded from “do not do” to “do it”, and at the same time, The overall quality of enterprises has been generally improved, and a group of enterprises with strong market competitiveness have emerged.

However, on the whole, China's machine tool manufacturing industry is still in the middle and low end of the international division of labor and the industrial chain. The market competitiveness of high-end products is insufficient, and the ability of related companies to provide comprehensive services to high-end market segments is relatively weak, resulting in the national economy of China. Demand for equipment in key areas of national defense and security is still heavily dependent on imports and subject to people, which is particularly prominent in the field of aerospace manufacturing.

In the eyes of the industry, aviation manufacturing is the crown of the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry. The ability to provide equipment and services for the aviation manufacturing industry, especially the aero-engine manufacturing industry, represents the highest level of the machine tool manufacturing industry, and is also the strategic basis of the machine tool manufacturing industry. The concrete embodiment of status. In recent years, China’s aviation manufacturing industry has entered a period of rapid development and has achieved a series of major technological breakthroughs, resulting in a number of innovative development achievements.

Recently, the seminar was organized by the National Development and Reform Commission National Economic Mobilization Office and other organizations, and the China Machine Tool Industry Association hosted the "Aeroengine Key Parts Manufacturing Process Technology Training Course." Participants indicated that they lacked in-depth understanding and understanding of the user's manufacturing process. The ability of users to provide comprehensive solutions is a long-standing weakness in the machine tool manufacturing industry. It is also a major obstacle to the entry of high-end machine tool products into the high-end market segments including aviation manufacturing.

In Chen Huiren's view, the current need to promote the machine tool industry companies to understand and master the characteristics of aircraft engine manufacturing industry technology and equipment requirements, improve the comprehensive ability and level of equipment and services for the aero-engine manufacturing sector; at the same time, promote the supply and demand enterprises to build The cooperation platform will promote deepening understanding between supply and demand sides, enhance mutual trust, deepen cooperation, and achieve common progress in cooperation and development.
