Market Occupies the Key to the Success or Failure of China's CNC Equipment Industry

China is the largest consumer of machine tools, but also a big producer. However, the import and export deficit of machine tools has reminded domestic machine tool companies that the current product structure of China's machine tool industry cannot meet the market demand. Compared with the world's leading CNC machine tools, domestic CNC machine tools have insufficient self-innovation and there is a certain distance from the quality stability.

The main reason for users of domestic CNC machine tools not to purchase domestic machine tools is that the reliability of the products cannot meet the requirements of users. The fierce competition in the machine tool market is mainly the competition of product reliability. Whether it can occupy the market is the key to the survival and development of China's CNC equipment industry. Especially in the situation where the import volume is increasing, the improvement of product reliability is particularly significant for domestic CNC equipment to win in international market competition and promote the development of national industry.

Product reliability is a key factor affecting market share. In recent years, China's machine tool companies have implemented reliable technology, and the reliability of domestically produced machine tools has steadily increased. However, the gap between developed countries and the developed countries is still significant. In order to change the status quo of China's machine tool industry, through the implementation of major projects, the reliability level of domestic high-end CNC machine tools has been approached or reached the world's advanced level, solved the engineering problems that plagued CNC machine tool industry technology development, and reversed the passive situation of international market competition.

At present, the research and development of domestic CNC machine tools are mainly oriented to high-grade, and pursue high-speed, precision and multi-axis linkage machining. However, with the increase of complex functions and the introduction of intensive technologies, unreliable factors and hidden troubles have increased. A highly reliable machine tool can receive the efficacy of several machine tools running at the same time, which can reduce the user's downtime loss and maintenance costs. The probability of failure during operation and use increases, its advanced performance and functionality cannot be maintained, and its use value is reduced or lost.

The reliability of CNC machine tools is a quality attribute exposed during use and on-site operation. Time and environmental factors of product use are taken into consideration. Unused products cannot be truly evaluated for their reliability. To increase the reliability of CNC machine tools is to reduce or avoid various failures that occur during the product's operation.

In many cases, the prominent problems that affect the reliability of domestic CNC machine tools are often the selection of manufacturing processes, assembly processes, accessories and purchased parts, and the elimination of early failures, which accounts for a large proportion of failures. Emphasis on reliability test methods, strengthen product manufacturing process, assembly process, procurement of components and purchased parts and the elimination of early failures and other process reliability assurance measures, the implementation of system engineering, in order to ultimately achieve the reliability of CNC machine tool products.
