From April 9th to April 13th, 2018, the 10th China CNC Machine Tool Show was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. During the exhibition, the Japan Machine Tool Association held a JIMTOF press conference. At the press conference, President of the Japan Machine Tool Industry Association Iimura Fortunately, Shoji Ishio, Executive Director of the Japan Machine Tool Industry Association, and Ishihara Chin, the representative director and president of the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, respectively delivered speeches. Among them, some views on the development of the industry were thought to be of great value.
As a world-famous machine tool manufacturer, Japan ranks among the top in the world both in terms of technology and manufacturing process. Since the implementation of the “Made in China 2025” strategy, Japan has become an important trading partner in China and the two sides have become increasingly closely connected in the field of machine tools. We must admit that Japan is a pioneer in machine tool technology. Its experience in the development of the machine tool industry is well worth our country's enterprises to learn from and learn from. For example, at the JIMTOF press conference, the president of the Japan Machine Tool Industry Association, Yukio Iimura, introduced the Japanese exhibits. To a certain extent, it reflects the trend of machine tool technology development.
At the press conference, Mr. Miichiro Iimura emphasized in particular that he hopes everyone will pay attention to the products and technologies that have been actively utilized by the (Internet machine tool companies in Japan) to use the Internet of Things. Mr. Yoshimura Imaimura gave three examples: 1. Based on high speed, high precision , High-functionality, and equipped with network coupling technology, smart technology equipment; 2, Combining intelligent manufacturing equipment with automation and unmanned technology, to achieve efficient production of intelligent manufacturing; 3, The combination of the above two kinds of intelligence to optimize factory production.
The author believes that this passage conveys to us three trends in machine tool technology development: Internet of Things, intelligentization, and automated production. At present, China's machine tools are still in their infancy in these three aspects. So, the next step, the Chinese enterprises are in the machine tool industry. Research, you can start from these three aspects.
The first is the application of the Internet of Things technology. At present, China's machine tool industry has just made breakthroughs in the numerical control, but to further improve efficiency and reduce costs, we need Internet of Things technology. Shenyang i5 intelligent machine tool is the Internet of things technology Exploring. The author believes that the use of Internet of Things technology will bring overtaking opportunities to China's machine tool industry, but it should be noted that IoT technology needs to be based on high-precision, high-efficiency, high-functionality high-end machine tools. The Internet of Things technology has little significance for improving quality and efficiency.
Secondly, it is intelligent. There are many performances of machine tools intelligently, such as the use of process software, ability to communicate with people, process navigation, perception and compensation of work environment, intelligent maintenance, etc. Machines tend to be more intelligent. The production process will be simple, which is also the development trend of all manufacturing industries. The current machine tool industry has done a better job in this area with DMG, Daxuan, etc. These companies have deep technical know-how, on the road to smart manufacturing It also has a long way to go. China also has such attempts, such as five-axis horizontal composite machining center of Dalian Kede, CNC pipe cutting machine of Han's laser, Baoji machine tool and HSC-430 of Huazhong CNC cooperation intelligent high-speed drilling and attack center. Equipped with professional process and production support software, the ZH5480 gantry milling and milling machining center for heavy-duty machine tools in Wuhan, Ningbo Tianrui Precision VF1290A gantry high-speed and high-precision machining center, etc. all have the capability of sensing and adaptive control of cutting force changes. It is the application of intelligent technology on machine tools. The development of China's machine tools on the road to intelligence is not deep enough, and the level of technology is also lacking. Introduction There are a very large space for development.

Finally, it is automated production. The author believes that the combination of the above two kinds of intelligence and optimized factory production conveyed by Mr. Miichiro Imai is actually referring to an unmanned factory or a smart factory. At present, the level of development of the manufacturing industry in China is large. It is difficult to establish a smart factory on a large scale, but it is still possible to use some of the automation equipment. Therefore, China's machine tool companies need to improve their adaptability to automated production. On the one hand, they increase the use of automation equipment in their own production. On the other hand, Need to strengthen the cooperation of machine tools and robots and other automation equipment, to provide downstream companies with more extensive automation solutions.
In recent years, the strong development of China's manufacturing industry, especially the emergence of new fields represented by electric vehicles, has brought opportunities for the development of China's machine tool industry. However, we also need to pay attention to the fact that the emergence of new technologies also raises the performance of machine tools. High requirements. The development of machine tools to the network and intelligence is essentially to adapt to new production requirements. Japan is far from the road of machine tool development. Their development process has certain reference value for China's machine tool industry. 'Standing on the shoulders of giants', I hope that China's machine tool companies can go further on the basis of learning from the development experience of other countries.
