Analysis of Future Development Trend and Prospect of World Machine Tool Technology in 2011

The rapid development of science and technology in the world today is pregnant with a new revolutionary breakthrough. Processing technology has entered the era of sub-micron and nano-scale ultra-finishing, networked manufacturing technology is in the ascendant, green manufacturing is on the rise, and digital manufacturing with digital machine tools as a technology platform has improved the new stage of intelligent manufacturing. Technology integration and technology compounding have become the CNC machine tools. One of the most dynamic trends in technology.

We have a long way to go to become a powerful machine tool. When exploring future trends, don't just think that the new machine tool products from abroad are trends, and you don't know why. From the general trend of social and economic development, machine tools, as production tools and energy-using products, can focus on product innovation in the following four years in the following four areas:

(1) Ecological machine tools. Green manufacturing is a prerequisite for sustainable development.

What is a green ecological machine tool? The vision of the green ecological machine tool should have the following characteristics:

The main parts of the machine tool are made of recycled materials.

Reduce the weight and volume of the machine tool by more than 50%.

Reduce power consumption by 30% to 40% by reducing the mass of moving parts and reducing airborne operating power.

The use of various waste in the process of reduction of 50% to 60%, to ensure that there is no pollution of the working environment.

The material of the machine tool is 100% recycled after being scrapped.

The new concept put forward by the green ecological machine tool is to reduce the weight of the machine tool, save material, and at the same time reduce the energy consumption when the machine tool is used.

Machine tools must embody energy-saving, emission-reduction and overall efficiency-based evaluation criteria. Over the years, machine tool capability indicators such as accuracy, speed, and power have been the main goals of machine tool products. Under the current pressure to stop the deterioration of the environment, industrial production needs to reduce the negative impact on the environment in all directions. The direction of the development of machine tools should also be changed from improving capacity indicators to improving efficiency indicators and obtaining more output with less input.

The main methods for machine tool greening are: adopting new structure and new materials to reduce the quality of moving parts and achieving energy saving; adopting dry cutting and MQL to achieve emission reduction, paying attention to the smooth flow of chips, rapid heat removal, and ensuring that dry cutting is not used and MQL causes thermal distortion of the machine tool and affects the machining accuracy.

(2) Smart machine tools. Intelligentization based on the Internet and computer technology is a reflection of the machine tool's further extension of human brain power. Intelligent can improve the stability and reliability of machine tool work. Smart machine tools can monitor their own status with various sensors, analyze the status of the machine, the processing process, and information about the surrounding environment, and then take countermeasures to ensure optimal processing. In other words, machine tools have evolved to send messages and think and adjust on their own. For example, it can reduce active vibration suppression of vibrations, intelligent heat barriers that can control thermal displacements, intelligent safety barriers that can prevent parts from colliding, voice prompts, and SMS notifications, and help select cutting parameters according to processing requirements.

The clever machine tool is actually a complete processing system, and the essence of the processing system is the networking and intelligence of the manufacturing system.

The system is dynamically optimized. The related process and equipment knowledge are integrated and modeled to optimize the dynamic performance of the system.

Equipment adaptation. Develop new measurement methods, models and standards, monitor the machine state under running conditions, and perform self-diagnosis and error compensation with on-line measurement, sensing and real-time analysis to improve the working performance of the machine tool.

Using a new generation of CNC systems. The interface and data format compatible with STEP-NC make the CAD model-based machine control run seamlessly.

Direct measurement of tool wear and workpiece accuracy during machining.

(3) Customized. The shift from large-scale production to large-scale customization is a general trend in the manufacturing industry, and the machine tool industry is no exception. When a good user's craftsman creates value for the user is not empty talk, the products produced by users are different, and the requirements for machine tools and equipment are of course different. For example, the goal of a composite machining machine is that a complex workpiece is machined on a machine tool, and different workpieces have different technological processes and machining methods. The configuration of a compound machine tool should be different. It can be foreseen that a considerable number of companies that only focus on the production and sales of traditional general-purpose machine tools will be gradually replaced by competitors who provide users with a comprehensive solution that is modular, reconfigurable, and flexible.

In order to strive for greater sales highlights, foreign companies have applied the concept of service economy to the sales of machine tools, and traditional machine maintenance services have been subject to different shocks, and great changes have taken place. Traditional CNC machine maintenance services have expanded to help users create value, increase productivity, and maximize efficiency. Designing solutions for customers is the basic strategy for common development.

We must combine service economy with manufacturing sales and change the operating mode of the machine tool industry. Machine tool companies must combine technology, service, management, and cost to maintain their competitiveness. Technology determines strength, service determines advantages, management, and costs determine efficiency. What the user needs, the company must focus on user needs, in particular to grasp the market's forward-looking needs, to meet new market changes, form a full range of service capabilities, provide complete sets of products and comprehensive solutions, and gradually realize the project general contracting project .

(4) combination of hard and soft. Traditional machine tool manufacturers usually do not provide software products when they sell machine tools. Even CNC machine tools, the software of the CNC system is embedded into the CNC system by the system supplier, not by the machine tool manufacturer. With the increasing complexity of the shape of machine tool processing objects, the continuous expansion of the functions of CNC machine tools, and the gradual increase in the number of control axes, we must give full play to the maximum efficiency of machine tools, ensure that users with the highest process safety and efficient processing, Must rely on software support.

Today, in the Internet + logistics network, the machine tool is not only a production equipment, but also a joint in the factory network. In the network, the machine tool can establish contact with the production management system, the tool and the material management system, even with the machine tool, the cutter supplier, automatically processes the question which appears in the production.
