Large-scale industrialization of machine tool remanufacturing

In 2017, the world's machine tool market will reach 166 billion US dollars. The world's machine tool market will often be affected by the recent macro economy, and it is directly related to the health status and manufacturing output of relevant downstream industries such as automobiles, information technology, and construction equipment. Confidence in the overall market, capacity expansion, and output are all important factors affecting the machine tool market.

According to the prediction of Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Die and Hardware & Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, by 2017, the world machine tool market is expected to reach a scale of US$ 166 billion, and its market growth momentum is expected to come mainly from China, India, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brazil. Developing countries and regions.

The world machine tool market experienced a sharp drop in 2008 and 2009 due to the shrinking industrial output and the collapse of global production and trade. However, in 2010, due to the continuous increase in capital investment, the machine tool market as a key industry saw a significant recovery. The diversity of machine tool applications determines that the market will recover very quickly. Applications include aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronics, non-electrical machinery and equipment, wind power, mining and processing, and oil exploration.

The European and Asian markets account for the majority of global machine tool sales. China and India are leading the way in promoting the growth of the global machine tool industry. By industry, metal cutting machine tools are the main contributors to machine tool sales revenue. From 2011 to 2016, the annual growth rate of special machine tools is expected to reach 13.7%.

Large-scale industrialization of machine tool remanufacturing In the past ten years, China's machine tool industry has experienced continuous rapid development. In 2010, the industrial output value of the entire industry was nearly 550 billion yuan, of which the output value of metal processing machine tools was 20.9 billion US dollars, accounting for about one-third of the world's total. From the perspective of product life cycle, China is entering the peak period of the retirement of machine tool products. In addition, under the background of accelerating the transformation of economic development methods and optimizing the industrial structure, the increasing demand for high-end CNC machine tools will inevitably eliminate a batch of machine tool products.

Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Mould, Hardware and Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, said that the total number of old machine tools that China can use for remanufacturing may exceed 2 million units. If this 2 million old machine tool products can be used for post-market development through the remanufacturing process, the market cultivation effect it brings will be enormous. 2012 will be a key breakthrough period for China's machine tool remanufacturing. In other words, if the machine tool industry can seize the current opportunities and accelerate the scale and industrialization of remanufacturing, it will certainly have a big job in the post-market of the machine tool industry.

The remanufacturing of machine tools is to rehabilitate and upgrade the remanufactured waste machine tools using high and new technology so that the technical performance of remanufactured machine tools is no less than new products. In the developed countries where the remanufacturing industry developed earlier, the remanufacturing of machine tools has been carried out for many years, and a relatively complete industrial chain has also been formed.

According to Luo Baihui, there are more than 300 companies specializing in the remanufacturing of machine tools in the United States, and these remanufacturing companies have professionally classified various machine tools such as large multi-functional machines, gear processing machines, and metal cutting machine tools. Through this specialized division of labor, companies can better provide advanced technology and quality services for machine tool remanufacturing. Germany, Japan, etc. have also extensively carried out the remanufacturing of machine tools. In the context of declining machine tool industry boom in the United States, Japan, and Germany, machine tool remanufacturing has, to a large extent, become a bright spot for growth in the industry.

The development experience of developed countries in Europe and America shows that if we can seize the post-market of machine tool remanufacturing, we will inevitably inject new vitality for the development of the machine tool industry. From the current perspective, the development of China's machine tool industry is facing two major bottlenecks. First, can we correctly understand and understand the important value of machine tool remanufacturing in terms of ideology and understanding, whether we can understand the industrial significance, economic value, and social benefits embodied in the remanufacturing of machine tools; second, can we promote the machine tool in the industrial development environment? The development of remanufacturing has introduced corresponding supporting policies and actively guided enterprises to accelerate the development of remanufacturing businesses through fiscal, tax, and other policies.

At present, the capability and level of our country's new machine tool product development continue to increase, and important breakthroughs have also been made in some of the core manufacturing fields of high-end CNC machine tools. However, the pace of development of machine tool remanufacturing is very slow, and the industrialization of remanufacturing is still in its infancy. This is not commensurate with China’s status as a big machine tool industry. Relevant departments still think of ways and ideas and accelerate the scale and industrialization of machine tool remanufacturing.
