The demand for CNC machine tools in China is increasing day by day, and the development of CNC machine tools has driven the innovation and upgrading of functional components of CNC machine tools. At present, the key functional component industry of high-end CNC machine tools in China cannot meet domestic needs, and the main problems in the domestic CNC functional component industry are as follows.

1. Adaptability and satisfaction far fall short of market demand

From the current development trend of CNC machine tools in China, the adaptability and satisfaction of domestic functional components are far from meeting the market demand. Mainly manifested in:

(1) There is a certain gap in the product level of functional components between China and foreign countries. At present, most of the functional components produced in China are labor-intensive and have low technological content, making it difficult to adapt to the development speed and technical requirements of domestic CNC machine tools, especially high-end CNC machine tools.

(2) The development capacity of functional components in China is weak, and the speed of new product development is slow. Most functional components require cooperation with foreign countries for development, production, joint venture, and even assembly. Although there have been significant changes in the situation in the past two years, China is still in the process of developing high-tech and the latest functional components, and the market share prospects are still not optimistic.

2. The small-scale production enterprises of CNC functional components in China

According to statistics, there are over 70 functional component production enterprises in China with fixed assets exceeding 10 million yuan, accounting for less than 10% of all production enterprises. There are four types of "origins" for functional component production enterprises in China: firstly, enterprises that have developed from research institutes and colleges with technological support, which can be called "institute type". The characteristics of these enterprises are: they have a certain technological and talent foundation, have multiple technological development potential, but their production methods are weak, making it difficult to form industrial scale in a short period of time, and there are also some gaps in cost, marketing, service, and other aspects; The second is an enterprise that gradually "independent" and "separated" from the main engine factory and developed mainly by producing certain functional components, which can be called the "main factory type". These enterprises can adapt to market demand in terms of production capacity, process level, and usage experience, and to a certain extent, form a scale. However, due to their intricate connections with the original host factory, they often cause doubts among users in competition, affecting their market development. At the same time, their development capabilities also have certain limitations, making it difficult to form a famous brand; The third is the emergence of a large number of private enterprises in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, which can be called "private enterprise type". These enterprises are mainly labor-intensive and single variety, such as chain guards, drag boards, fuel injection pipes, chip extractors, lighting equipment, etc. Due to fierce competition, its quality and price can meet the market needs of mid to low-end CNC machine tools. Although these high-end products of these varieties cannot be manufactured yet and still rely on imports, they largely meet the overall development needs of CNC machine tools in China; There are also some foreign joint ventures or wholly-owned enterprises that produce high-level functional components, but the batch size is small and they do not have independent technological development capabilities, making it difficult to become the main body and mainstream of functional components.
