No dust can be seen, no paint smell, no harsh sound of electric saws, and various large equipment is neatly displayed in the workshop. This is the automated production workshop of a furniture factory in Guangdong.
In the three major stages of woodworking, namely cutting, spraying, and packaging, machines play the leading role. The automation level of the factory's production has reached over 60%. In the spraying process that is prone to producing volatile gases and causing occupational diseases, we are the first to introduce electrostatic powder spraying technology for MDF throughout the country, "the person in charge of this furniture factory told China Economic Times.
Spraying furniture with zero volatility, zero formaldehyde, and zero pollution has finally become a reality. In fact, this is a living example of the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta, and a pioneer in the normalization of "machine replacement" in the manufacturing industry. It is also a microcosm of using information technology to create an upgraded version of China's manufacturing industry.
The General Development Trend of Precision, High Speed, and Precision Machine Tools
In recent years, China's machine tool manufacturing industry has benefited from the national revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry and made significant progress. Among them, the CNC machine tool industry, which is leading the current level of machine tool manufacturing technology, can be said to be even better. The level, variety, and production capacity of CNC machine tools reflect the comprehensive technological and economic strength of the country.
CNC machine tools, as strategic equipment for national defense and military industry, are the most important manufacturing method for various weapons and equipment, and an important guarantee for the modernization of national defense and military equipment. However, revitalizing the CNC machine tool industry poses certain difficulties for the machine tool industry. According to relevant experts, the digital manufacturing technology required for the development of CNC machine tools is the core of advanced manufacturing and the key to achieving independent innovation.
Therefore, for the entire industry, revitalizing the CNC machine tool industry is both a strategic opportunity and a severe challenge.
Chen Huiren, Executive Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, believes that although many domestic high-end machine tools have basically met the functional requirements of high-end products such as five axis linkage, turning milling composite, and large size gantry, they often resemble each other in appearance but not in spirit. In terms of performance, it cannot keep up, and there is also a significant gap with foreign counterparts in terms of accuracy, speed, static characteristics, dynamic characteristics, and reliability. "In 2015, China's machine tool and tool industry is expected to step out of the downward range, and the overall development status of the industry is expected to remain unchanged or slightly increase compared to the previous year
