Tool "Twelve Five": Where are we going?

The development status of the tool industry at home and abroad Cutting tools and machine tools are two subsystems of the manufacturing technology system. They are independent development and complement each other, and continue to promote the improvement of labor productivity in the manufacturing industry. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, along with the rapid development of modern digital manufacturing technology, modern high-efficiency cutting tools featuring "high precision, high efficiency, high reliability and specialization" quickly replaced traditional standard cutting tools. As the final execution component of the digital manufacturing system, it plays a key role in the processing. Although its price is much higher than the traditional standard tool. However, due to its excellent performance, the processing quality and efficiency are greatly improved, so that the manufacturing industry can increase labor productivity and reduce costs, and obtain greater profits. According to statistics published by multinational groups, the annual cost of cutting and processing in the global manufacturing industry has reached more than 400 billion US dollars, of which the cost of cutting tools is about 20 billion US dollars. In recent years, the manufacturing industry in developed countries has adopted a large number of modern and efficient cutting tools to increase labor productivity. The annual cost savings for the manufacturing industry is 100 billion US dollars, far higher than the investment in tools. Therefore, all countries have developed modern and efficient tools as an important means to improve the competitiveness of manufacturing. The concept that “cutting tools are productive in the process of processing, not consumables” has reached a consensus in developed countries that the proportion of cutting tool consumption in manufacturing costs is 3-4%. In China's manufacturing industry, most companies still rely on cheap labor as the main means of reducing costs, and less focus on improving efficiency by improving processing methods to save costs. Therefore, the level of tool consumption in China's manufacturing industry is generally low, accounting for only 1 of the manufacturing cost. -2%. Another fact worthy of attention is that in Germany, the United States, Japan and other manufacturing powers, the rules of modern CNC machine tools and efficient tools are coordinated and balanced. The purpose is to provide the best configuration for the manufacturing industry to fully utilize the equipment potential. And solutions. In developed countries, in the normal years of stable economic development, the annual scale of tool consumption is generally stable at around 1/2 of machine tool consumption. For example, when the annual consumption of machine tools is $6 billion, tool consumption is generally around $3 billion. Only in the years of economic recession will this ratio change as the size of the investment shrinks. However, the regularity of the coordinated development of such machine tools in developed countries has not appeared in China. Especially in the last 10 years, the consumption of machine tools in China's manufacturing industry has taken the lead, leaving tool consumption far behind. This strange phenomenon has become a feature of the development of China's machine tool industry. For example, in 2010, China's machine tool consumption reached a record level of 28.5 billion US dollars. In the same year, tool consumption was $5 billion, and tool consumption was only 18% of machine tool consumption. It is much lower than the level of about 50% in developed countries. The above figures illustrate a serious reality: At present, most of the enterprises in China's manufacturing industry are still promoting the development of equipment and expanding production capacity, and they have not made much effort to improve production efficiency. In essence, it is still a low level of expansion and extensive development. In this context, traditional cheap standard tools are still in high demand. Therefore, a large number of Chinese tool companies are still eager to continue the production pattern based on traditional standard tools, and there is not much sense of crisis. Thus, the expanding domestic modern high-efficiency tool market has been handed over to the powerful multinational tool group. The huge risks this situation poses to the development of the manufacturing industry are obvious. Of course, we should also see that since the beginning of the new century, China's manufacturing industry has also seen many bright spots in the process of modernization: a group of enterprises in the emerging manufacturing field have a strong demand for efficient processing to improve their competitiveness. Although they are still a minority in manufacturing, they represent the right direction. The rapid development of China's manufacturing industry during the “11th Five-Year Plan” has brought tremendous opportunities and new challenges to the tool industry . Driven by strong demand from the manufacturing industry, China's tool market has achieved rapid development, and China has become the world's largest cutting tool market. Tool companies face huge development opportunities. In the early period of the "11th Five-Year Plan", the global economy continued the cycle of prosperity from the beginning of this century. Under this background, China's manufacturing industry has achieved a new round of accelerated development, and there has been a strong demand for cutting tools. The rapid development of the tool industry. Compared with 2005 in the last year of the previous five-year plan, the consumption, imports and exports of Chinese knives reached a peak in 2008. For the first time in terms of country consumption, China surpassed Germany, the United States, and Japan to rank first in the world. See Figure 1-3.
Figure 1 Changes in China's tool consumption during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period
Figure 2 Changes in China's tool imports during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period
Figure 3 China's tool export changes during the “11th Five-Year Plan” In the global financial crisis in 2009, the manufacturing scale shrank sharply, and global tool sales fell sharply by 35% to 40%. Among them, the tool market in Europe, the United States and Japan has fallen by 45%, and the emerging economies such as China and India are much better than the world. In 2009, the size of China's tool market was reduced by 15%, and the decline in domestic and imported tool sales was the same. However, the export of low-end tools has dropped by 35% to 40%. This has created tremendous pressure on China's large number of tool companies that export low-end products. It is hoped that this pressure will become a driving force for companies to adjust their product mix. In 2010, the demand for knives in the global manufacturing industry has rebounded. The recovery of the Chinese tool market is particularly strong. On the basis of the comprehensive recovery of domestic manufacturing in the second half of 2009, in the first three quarters of 2010, the sales of domestic tool companies entered a high-speed growth track, and the growth rate in the fourth quarter declined slightly, with a year-on-year growth of 40.8%. In the same period of 2009, the base was low, and the end-users and middlemen needed to replenish stocks. However, this strong growth momentum is still unprecedented, so in 2010 China's domestic tool consumption exceeded the highest level in 2008. At the same time, exports also had a strong rebound of nearly 40%, but due to the excessive decline in 2009, the total export volume could not be restored to an all-time high. From the development trend of the international tool market, the European and North American markets also have a strong rebound. However, due to the excessive decline in 2009, the sales revenue in 2010 is still 15-20% different from the historical high level in 2007-2008. This situation shows: First, although the trend of the global manufacturing sector taking the lead in recovery is very obvious, its characteristics are still recovering growth. Second, the BRICS and China's emerging economies, which are represented by China, have recovered and developed much faster than developed countries after the international financial crisis. The rapid growth of the BRICS and China's economy has brought great opportunities for the development of the tool industry. At the same time, however, the challenges are also very serious, because countries are optimistic about the development of emerging economies, especially China's manufacturing industry. The major multinational tool groups in Europe, the United States and Japan have developed their strategies after the international financial crisis without exception. It is the first choice to expand sales in the Chinese market. For example, Sandvik Tooling currently employs more than 800 people in China (sales service staff, half of the production staff), and plans to double in three years. It can be seen that it is determined to expand sales in the Chinese market. To sum up, an indisputable fact is that China has become the world's most promising tool market, so the future development opportunities of Chinese tool companies are huge, but the competition will become increasingly fierce. The main challenge is that the demand for cutting tools in China's manufacturing industry is shifting from traditional standard tools to modern high-efficiency tools. The product structure adjustment and upgrading of the tool industry lags behind and cannot meet the development needs of modern manufacturing. As mentioned above, the sales scale of the Chinese tool market has been in the forefront of the world, and the domestic tool market share in the domestic market has reached 65%. From this data, the market situation is still very good. However, the problem lies in the backward structure of domestically produced tool products. Most of the domestically produced tools are traditional high-speed steel standard tools and general-level hard alloy standard tools. Modern high-efficiency carbide tools, high-performance high-speed steel tools and new super-hard tools that meet the high-end needs of the manufacturing industry account for only about 15%. Therefore, looking at the status quo of China's tool industry development, product structure is backward, and industry concentration is low.   China's tool industry "Twelfth Five-Year" development strategy choices and prospects "Twelfth Five-Year" period of China's tool market trends The development of China's tool industry during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period will face a new historical opportunity. Its characteristics are: First, strong domestic demand is the main driving force for development. China, like all emerging economies, is in the ascendant stage of development, and its inherently strong demand is a valuable opportunity and driving force for development. In the global tool industry, the international financial crisis in 2008 caused the tool market in developed countries to shrink by 45% in 2009, while the Chinese tool market only fell by 15%. This year, the global economy has generally recovered slowly, and tool sales have also experienced a recovery rebound. The increase rate has generally reached 30%-50%. It can be said that the situation is very good. However, the development momentum of different countries is still very different. In China and emerging economies, sales this year can be restored and surpassed the best in history, while in developed countries there is still a gap of around 15-20%, which takes 3-5 years to recover. Looking forward to the tool market during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the global trend is slowly recovering and growing with a 3-5% increase. China is expected to continue its steady and rapid development at a rate that is three times higher than the global average growth rate, that is, 10-15%. Second, the demand for knives in the domestic manufacturing industry will shift from the low-end to the high-end, and the demand for modern high-efficiency tools will increase significantly. Since the beginning of the new century, especially with the development of China's modern manufacturing industry in the past five years, the demand for efficient tools has grown rapidly. In 2010, China's automobile production and sales volume reached 18 million, ranking first in the world. From the experience of developed countries, the automotive industry is a pioneer in the use of modern and efficient tools, and is the largest consumer of tool consumption. It accounts for 35-40% of all tool consumption. At the same time, the rapid development of equipment industries such as modern energy, aerospace, heavy mining and precision molds has made China's manufacturing industry stride into the modernization. The development level of manufacturing modernization directly determines the changing trend of China's tool market. From the actual development and changes of the domestic tool market, in the past five years, the growth rate of imported high-efficiency tools is higher than the average growth rate of the domestic tool market, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. It can be seen that China's manufacturing industry is in urgent need of modern and efficient tools. However, it is worth pointing out that there are still a large number of tool companies in China that are slow to respond to this market pattern change. They are satisfied with the current situation that domestic medium and low-end tools still have considerable market space, and have not taken necessary countermeasures to adapt. The new situation of market development. It should be soberly seen that this idea of ​​being comfortable with the status quo has greatly increased the risk of enterprise development. The composition of China's tool market is higher than that of high-end products. From 10% of 10 years ago to about 40%, the growth rate is very fast. As the development continues, high-end tools will soon become The mainstream of the Chinese tool market and the new focus of competition, the majority of tool companies must have sufficient understanding and preparation for this. The development strategy and strategic choice of China's tool industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period. How do the “12. 5” tool industry go? Here, we briefly summarize the above-mentioned contents: From the macroeconomic level, the country proposes an overall strategic policy of “adjusting the economic structure and transforming the development mode”, involving political, economic, and social aspects, but directly affecting our tool industry. There are three main points in the development policy and strategic choices, which must be conscientiously implemented: First, we must persist in expanding the domestic demand strategy and maintain steady and rapid economic development. The second is to develop a modern industrial system and improve the core competitiveness of enterprises. The third is to speed up the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society and improve the level of ecological civilization. From the micro-market development trend of the tool industry, there are two main ones: First, China is already the largest and fastest-growing tool market in the world. Industry development must firmly grasp this major opportunity. Second, the demand structure of the Chinese tool market is undergoing profound changes. The growth rate of modern high-efficiency tools exceeds that of traditional standard tools, and the high-end tool market will become the focus of competition. Summarize the above analysis and research results, and put forward the following opinions and suggestions on the development policy and strategic choice of China's tool industry: (1) Development policy - Focusing on the development of modern and efficient tool technology that is urgently needed by domestic manufacturing industry. - Stabilize the market share of traditional standard tools - control the total amount, increase the variety, improve the quality, and strengthen the service. -- Adjust the structure and vigorously reduce the scale of production and export of low-end household tools. (2) Strategic positioning of the target market – recognize that China will be the largest international tool market. High-end products focus on the domestic market. Traditional products consolidate the domestic market, and on the basis of independent development, enter the international market with superior cost performance. Greatly reduce the scale of export of low-end household knives. During the “Twelfth Five-Year” development goal and prospect exhibition of China's tool industry , the development goals of the tool industry are: First, significantly increase the market share of domestically produced high-efficiency tools in the manufacturing high-end market. Target: The market share of the high-end market has increased from the current 15% to 30-40%. Second, the actual pace of the “total solution” in manufacturing cutting operations. Specific objectives: Select a number of typical parts production lines in modern manufacturing industries such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, energy equipment, etc., and implement all-round services in processing technology and cutting tools, and accumulate practical experience of providing "total solutions" for the manufacturing industry. The key to the above two goals is the first one to increase the market share in the high-end market. The second article, accumulating practical experience of providing "integrated solutions" for the manufacturing industry, aims to change the current passive situation of piecemeal and import substitution, and lay a good foundation for improving the market share of high-end market. It is an auxiliary goal. It should also be noted that in today's economic globalization, the manufacturing equipment technology of the manufacturing industry has a long history. Therefore, it is impossible and undesirable to pursue 100% localization in equipment. The level of localization of cutting tools in developed countries averages around 60-70%, so our prospect of increasing the localization rate of modern high-efficiency tools is that the “12·5” takes a big step and then uses two to three. The time of the five-year plan has enabled the localization rate to reach the average level of developed countries.   Measures to Realize the “Twelfth Five-Year” Development Goals of the Tool Industry Here, we mainly discuss some ideas for accelerating the development of modern and efficient tools, starting from the status quo of Chinese tool companies. Before explaining the recommendations of these measures, we must first define two basic questions: The first is to develop modern and efficient tools. What are our main gaps? Major users such as the domestic automobile industry and the energy industry often ask such questions: At present, the equipment level of key domestic key enterprises has basically been equivalent to that of developed countries, and the equipment level of general enterprises has also been greatly improved. However, the gap between the supply capacity of high-end tools and foreign counterparts is still very large. Where is the reason? This issue pointed out the bottleneck of China's high-end tool development. In the past 10 years, domestically produced high-efficiency tools have started from a very low starting point and have been growing year by year. At the same time, however, through the development practice of the vast number of tool companies, they have finally realized that the development of modern and efficient tools, if only relying on improving equipment and manufacturing capabilities, without simultaneously improving comprehensive development and service capabilities, it is impossible to enter large-scale. Modern efficient tooling market. At best, we can only do a few import substitutions without piecemeal, and we cannot significantly increase the market share. Therefore, we must be soberly aware that the lack of comprehensive capabilities to provide users with “total solutions” is the main gap between Chinese tool companies and foreign advanced levels. The second problem is that the Chinese tool industry must strive to achieve the transformation of the development mode in order to improve the domestic market share of modern and efficient tools. As mentioned above, the gap between the existing development level of domestic tool companies and advanced countries is mainly reflected in the one-sided emphasis on the improvement of manufacturing capabilities, and there is no (or very little) focus on simultaneously improving technology R&D and user service capabilities. This situation, expressed by the “smile curve” that describes the industrial chain, is still at the lowest end of the industrial chain and still belongs to the extensive development model. See Figure 4. Therefore, measures must be taken during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period to extend to the front end of the “smile curve” (research and development innovation capability) and the back end (user service capability). Thereby achieving a transformation of the growth mode and comprehensively improving market competitiveness. The main measures are as follows: First, Chinese tool companies should work hard to improve basic technology. Mainly the following aspects: ——The research on the cutting mechanism of new materials in modern manufacturing industry is a circumstance to develop modern high-efficiency tools. Practice has proved that the cutting characteristics and tool technical data of new materials cannot be bought. . ——The important basis for determining the performance of the tool is the advanced tool material and coating technology. Therefore, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, efforts should be made in the reproducibility and quality stability of the tool material manufacturing process, while strengthening the coating technology and The development of localization of equipment.
Figure 4 Smile curve of the manufacturing industry chain - must take a big step in the digital design and manufacturing technology of the tool. Experience has shown that it is easier to introduce equipment, and key design data and development software are difficult to buy. This situation not only affects the independent development of China's modern cutting tool technology, but also expensive imported equipment, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost and affects the competitiveness. Therefore, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, “data self-accumulation, software autonomy Significant phase results have been achieved in terms of development and self-manufacturing. The gaps in the above basic technologies and equipment are the main direction of the tool industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period. At present, a number of tool backbone enterprises have carried out a series of fruitful work in the above-mentioned fields, and some have achieved initial results, which has opened a good start for the promotion of the “12. 5” plan of the tool industry. The specific details are not elaborated here. Second, it is imperative to strengthen service capacity building. Among the three basic conditions of “equipment, technology and service” that Chinese tool enterprises must develop for modern and efficient tools, the biggest gap is still providing high-level service for “manufacturing solutions” for the manufacturing industry. Therefore, vigorously strengthen high-quality marketing. And the construction of the service team must be highly valued by the majority of tool companies. Finally, the implementation of open and independent innovation is the key to achieving the arduous development goals during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period. To achieve new development goals, we must adhere to independent innovation. However, it should be emphasized that independent innovation cannot be understood as shutting down the door to work hard, or even building a car behind closed doors. In the process of independent innovation, we must continue to further expand the cooperation and opening up within and outside the industry, at home and abroad, and use the "going out, please come in" approach to mobilize various positive factors and accelerate the improvement of our own competitiveness.
