Although China's numerical control (NC) systems have made significant progress, over 90% of the high-end NC systems used in China are still imported, particularly for advanced machine tools required by the defense industry. The high-end NC system plays a crucial role in determining the performance, functionality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of the machine equipment. Despite domestic advancements, foreign countries continue to impose restrictions and blockades on critical technologies, which has become a major bottleneck in the development of high-end CNC machine tools in China.
A CNC system is typically a combination of hardware and software, but its true value lies in the software. The software controls everything from precision to efficiency, making it a key differentiator between high-end and low-end systems. As technology evolves, high-end NC systems are becoming more diverse in their functional capabilities, offering better speed, accuracy, and surface finish. A well-designed system can maintain stable performance during daily operations, detect potential mechanical issues early, and take immediate corrective actions. In case of a failure, it can also be quickly restored to normal operation, minimizing downtime and production losses.
Compatibility is another essential factor for CNC systems. A high-quality system should support various interfaces, standards, protocols, and file formats commonly used in the industry. Some systems may only support specific types, which can limit their versatility and adaptability in different manufacturing environments.
For most manufacturers, investing in a slightly more expensive but highly reliable and stable system is a worthwhile choice. This is similar to how consumers choose Apple products—despite higher prices, people are drawn to the smooth and stable user experience. Brand reputation also plays a role, as seen with companies like Siemens, Fanuc, and Mitsubishi, whose systems are widely trusted and praised within the industry.
In summary, high-end CNC systems offer clear advantages over their mid-range and low-end counterparts in terms of practicality, reliability, compatibility, stability, and user-friendliness. According to the "High-end CNC Machine Tools and Basic Manufacturing Equipment" national science and technology project, the goal is to achieve a domestic market share of over 60% for high-end CNC machines by 2020. This indicates a huge opportunity for growth in the CNC system sector. We hope that China’s CNC systems will continue to advance, accumulate more experience, and eventually develop into high-tech, widely applicable systems that can compete globally.
