With the expansion of production scale and global industrial transfer in the automotive and parts, aerospace, molds, railway transportation equipment, engineering machinery, and other types of equipment manufacturing industries, as well as the strong demand for multi-level machine tool products in related industries, China's metal cutting machine tool manufacturing industry is entering an acceleration period of development.

In the first half of this year, the overall development of China's manufacturing industry has rebounded, intelligent upgrading has continued to advance, and robots and automation equipment have maintained a high prosperity. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the cumulative production of industrial robots in China from January to June reached 59000 units, a year-on-year increase of 52%. In June, the year-on-year growth rate reached 61%, ranking first among various industrial products; From January to June, the cumulative production of metal cutting machine tools reached 400000 units, a year-on-year increase of 8.7%.

Metal cutting machine tool industry

Metal cutting machine tools are the most widely used and numerous machine tool categories. Affected by the rebound in machine tool market demand since 2016, the production capacity of China's metal cutting machine tool industry has been continuously increasing. With the expansion of production scale and global industrial transfer in the automotive and parts, aerospace, molds, railway transportation equipment, engineering machinery, and other types of equipment manufacturing industries, as well as the strong demand for multi-level machine tool products in related industries, China's metal cutting machine tool manufacturing industry is entering an acceleration period of development.

In the context of a series of intensive national policies and driven by strong demand in the domestic market, the production capacity of China's metal cutting machine tool industry has significantly recovered, achieving positive growth in output for six consecutive months. Products have also made significant progress in intelligence, high-speed, composite, precision, multi axis, and other aspects, playing an important fundamental supporting role in China's transition from a manufacturing powerhouse to a manufacturing powerhouse.

industrial robot

In recent years, China has promoted the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, with a significant increase in the production of industrial robots. Manufacturing enterprises have extensively used industrial robots, which has improved the production level and efficiency of the manufacturing industry. On this basis, the manufacturing industry continues to introduce cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology, making the manufacturing industry move towards intelligent manufacturing. At the same time, more cutting-edge technologies, such as visual perception, big data, and cloud computing, are also starting to "follow up" in a timely manner, and technology integration is creating more profound industrial changes. And this is precisely the scenario that the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry hopes to achieve, that is, from automation to intelligence, benchmarking against German Industry 4.0.

At present, with the coordination and collaboration of artificial intelligence technology standards, commercial applications, product data, and the promotion of industrial upgrading, industrial robots have ushered in a golden period of development. The manufacturing industry is gradually transitioning from automation to intelligence using the emerging technology of artificial intelligence. Industrial robots, as the "pearl in the crown of manufacturing", have gradually demonstrated their own value in the development of China's manufacturing industry.

The booming market for industrial robot applications has also attracted a large number of industrial robot enterprises such as Dalian Machine Tool and Huazhong CNC to settle in Guangdong, pushing China's industrial robot market to a new height.
