In 2009 China’s automobile, machine tool consumption in the world, advanced manufacturing processes and tools with a vast market and tremendous space for development. National launch in 2009, “high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment,” National Science and Technology major projects, the state has invested more than 20 billion.
At the same time, China’s overall level of manufacturing processes and tools are very backward, almost all the new items required for automobile engine high-speed, high efficiency, high-precision cutting tools mostly from abroad.
In the current global financial crisis continues to spread and deepening of the general economic decline in countries around the world the grim situation, in order to deal with the financial crisis, governments have taken strong measures to stimulate economic recovery, all walks of life cope with economic entities are also actively looking for good policy, and formed a consensus: should the crisis as the industry restructuring and technological upgrading of enterprise products the opportunity to rely on scientific and technological innovation and the adoption of advanced manufacturing technology to overcome the financial crisis.
As the American Society of Mechanical Association For Manufacturing Technology (AMT), chairman of Mr. Long Shiji said, “We are now in an economic downturn, we must concentrate our efforts on the crisis into an opportunity to enhance long-term strength. The manufacturing technology is to help businesses cope with change, or even negative changes in productivity tools. “He also pointed out that the economic recession could arouse people’s interest in purchase of advanced manufacturing technology.
For tool users, the ultimate goal is to improve the efficiency of enterprises, and the high processing efficiency which means lower processing costs and high returns. Sandvik Coromant Company, said in 2008, Chinese users through the application of Sandvik Coromant tool in reducing the processing cost of benefits arising from the equivalent of 10% of the company’s annual sales this year, the company’s goal of is to increase that figure to 15%. This is just a tool manufacturer to make the contributions, while the contribution of the whole industry will be a significant figure. At present, the industry’s more common view is that: 20% increase in processing efficiency, can reduce processing costs of 15%, whereas 20% increase in processing efficiency is the most of the cutting tool manufacturers to the level of commitment, but also through the efforts of the majority of tool users can advanced tools available in return.
At present, the cutting tool industry has been for the manufacturing industry with more and more advanced technical support, such as automotive engine parts and processing of several typical tools, aircraft landing gear and other aerospace components and cutting tools, but also processing of molds with a knife, even including my own the emerging wind power industry, high-speed train industry and other key parts and processing tools. According to statistics, the global manufacturing cutting tools according to the movements of plate distribution, accounting for 35% of general machinery, automobiles accounted for 34%, the aviation industry accounted for 12%, accounting for 5% of medical equipment, mold, 4%, other 10%.
For the manufacturing industry by leaps and bounds to catch up with the pace of development, tool manufacturers a long-term exploration and innovation, has made a great breakthrough. Today, we have heard more tool companies have also seen a solemn commitment of both Sandvik Coromant’s “gather your success”; Kennametal partnership with customers of the “Kennametal Complete full-service plans,” The plan includes continuous on-site optimization, tool management and maintenance, personnel training, cooperation in a wide range of content; also Valenite’s “manufacturing process to provide you with value-added solutions partners, let us plant would reduce the cost of your program” ; and also, as chairman Dr.Kress Mapa points out, the company has been uphold the service philosophy is “We want to maintain close contact with our customers, starting from the customer’s needs by providing the most suitable solution.” It is these flash concept, created a world well-known tool brand, with their characteristics and knives, cutting continuously upgrade the technological level and processing efficiency.
Cutting tool manufacturers to bring new ideas to the user benefits, is changing the concept of tool users, they will be regarded as an indispensable tool manufacturer partners. A production of aerospace parts company with high mountains and a partnership firm, the productivity has been significantly improved. The company concluded the partnership, said: “We need a tool can provide us with a true solution partner, a reliable, but also provide more than the tool itself, suppliers. We need solutions, technical support, competitiveness and delivery. high mountains tool is our choice and meet our standards. “as a tool manufacturing industry as a partner for their flying wings.
Tool and cutting tool industry is in a period of rapid technological development, China’s manufacturing industry has entered a crucial stage of development, coupled with the introduction of planning to revitalize the manufacturing industry, tool manufacturers and users of this interaction will not only help to overcome the current the financial crisis, but will also greatly accelerate the process of building China manufacturing power and will lead to long-term cooperation and win-win prospects.
