Due to the important role of mould in manufacturing industry, mould manufacturing industry has been paid attention to by developed countries all over the world. In fact, mould design and manufacturing itself has become an important field of manufacturing industry. Due to the characteristics of mold itself, modern mold enterprises mostly reflect the characteristics of technology intensive, capital intensive, high-quality labor intensive and high social benefits, mold manufacturing has become a part of high-tech manufacturing industry. Therefore, mold technology level, has become an important indicator of a country's manufacturing level, but also to maintain the core competitiveness of these countries' products in the international market. "Now, China has become a big manufacturing country and a big mold production country. The sales volume in 2010 will be close to 100 billion yuan (95 billion yuan in 2008), and the mold import has reached nearly 2 billion dollars, maintaining the import level of 2 billion dollars for four consecutive years. Mould exports were nearly $1.9 billion, which was also about the same as in 2008. China mold industry association secretary general wu bing shu introduced.
In recent years, the level of mould manufacturing in China has been greatly improved. The proportion of high level moulds represented by large, precise, complex and long-life moulds has reached over 35%. Precision mold machining accuracy has reached 0.5 micron; Precision progressive die can be used in high speed punching machine with 2000 ~ 2500 times /min or above; The precision of plastic mold reaches micron level, which meets the needs of IT industry development. A single set of tire loose mold with weight up to 120T and diameter up to 4m becomes the largest mold and so on. "Mold manufacturing is now moving in the opposite direction. Demand for precision and heavy equipment is also growing." In this way, judge the development trend of mold and related equipment requirements.
"Although China's mold industry after 20 years of rapid development, has become a world mold production country, but at the same time we are clearly aware of the gap with the mold power, especially in the high-end mold is still mainly dependent on imports. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of mould industry and mould technology, especially since the reform and opening up, fully affirming the important basic position of mould industry and technology in the manufacturing industry and national economy. The state invests a large amount of funds to improve the manufacturing level of key molds. This major project has c-class car body covering parts mold and other projects. "Said the book.
Mold processing equipment market potential is huge.
"Mold enterprises have a considerable amount of equipment purchase a year, mold manufacturing needs of equipment, especially high-end equipment mainly rely on imports. In recent years, with the improvement of domestic equipment level, there are also many mold enterprises choose domestic machine tools. "Said the book.
Statistics show that China's machine tool consumption reached 19.8 billion us dollars in 2009, accounting for more than one third of the world's machine tool market and 35.7% of the world's machine tool output value. With high speed, high efficiency, precision, complex, flexible, green, the whole manufacture measuring unit as the main body of the equipment is still the procurement direction of China's mold industry technology upgrades, heavy load, large amount of application in mould processing, square table structure design, and a detection and control technology, high resolution programming of nc system, servo control software and hardware environment of high progress is the key to ensure precision mold manufacturing. Ultra-precision mirror milling machine, nano-level turning and milling compound center, ultra-precision CNC lathe and so on have also been used in mold manufacturing.
Referring to the current situation of China's mold processing equipment market, the book of wu bing, Japan, Europe and the United States of high-grade mold processing and manufacturing equipment, measuring equipment monopoly position, the reason is, of course, with their products of high quality is inseparable, but also with their strategy for the Chinese mold market. Their demand for the mold market is to take the initiative to serve, they cooperate with the mold users to develop the special function of the machine tool, measure the body to customize the function. Korean machine tools and Taiwan machine tools in the middle of the model has a good cost performance, so also occupy a certain market share. In terms of mold processing, some molds are made of super-hard materials, so mold manufacturing requires high requirements on the tool, requiring the tool to be able to cut materials over HRC60. According to wu bingshu, the consumption of super-hard tool materials such as cemented carbide and ceramics for modern cutting tools with high precision, high efficiency and high reliability is about 1.2 billion yuan, of which 80% ~ 85% are imported, and the cutting tools used in mold manufacturing account for more than 90%. High precision cutting tools for five - sided machining and complex movement are still mainly purchased from overseas.
