Automotive industry machine tool consumption focuses on parts processing

The industry profile scan was affected by the international financial crisis. In 2008, China's auto industry continued its double-digit high-speed growth in production and sales for six consecutive years. Automobile production increased by 5.21% year-on-year, and car sales growth rate was only 6.7%. , respectively, fell 16.81 percentage points and 15.14 percentage points over the same period last year.
Thanks to the implementation of various measures in the National Automobile Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan, in early 2009, China's automobile market began to recover rapidly, showing an unprecedented rapid development situation, and the huge potential of the Chinese automobile market was fully reflected.
From January to September 2009, China's automobile production reached 6,921,700 units, and the sales volume reached 9,662,700 units, an increase of 32.01% and 34.24%, which exceeded the total of 267,600 units and 282,200 units in 2008. From the current trend, if there is no accident, in 2010 China's automobile production and sales will exceed 13 million, making it a veritable automobile production and sales country. As an important pillar industry of the national economy, the leading role of the automobile industry in economic and social development will continue to be fully utilized.
Supported by national policies, the passenger car market with a displacement of 1.6 liters or less from January to September in 2009 performed well. The cumulative sales accounted for 70% of the total sales of passenger cars. The market share was the highest in the past years, and the production and sales of the overall automobile market was high. The contribution of growth has contributed. Small-displacement passenger cars are growing into the mainstream of the Chinese auto market, which also illustrates the tremendous achievements in the restructuring of China's auto industry. According to statistics, in the first three quarters of 2009, the sales volume of China's self-owned brand sedan market reached 29%, which continued to maintain its growth trend. This indicates that China's auto industry has made great progress in its independent innovation capability.
In recent years, the accelerated development of China's auto industry has played a huge role in the consumption of machine tools. From the perspective of the scale of investment in fixed assets, the fixed assets investment of the automobile industry during the 10th Five-Year Plan period will be 235 billion yuan, and the investment during the 11th Five-Year Plan period will exceed 400 billion yuan. The investment during the 11th Five-Year Plan to the 13th Five-Year Plan period will be Achieving 150 million yuan, the sustained high-speed growth of fixed-asset investment scale laid the foundation for machine tool consumption. In addition, the "Automotive Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan" issued in early 2009 also pointed out that it will add special funds for central investment and 10 billion yuan to support the technological progress and technological transformation of automobile production enterprises during the three-year planning period, which means It will drive the corresponding investment of 100 billion yuan to 200 billion yuan for automobile and parts companies.
According to incomplete statistics, the current domestic construction and newly built projects will increase the annual production capacity of one million engines and millions of complete vehicles. Such as Beiqi Foton Cummins engine production base, Huatai Automobile Ordossky Land, Beiqi Foton South Production Base, Shenyang Mitsubishi Engine, Changchun FAW Toyota, Brilliance Auto, Guangzhou Auto Passenger Vehicle Project, Wuling, Nanjing Auto and Geely Changsha Automobile Production Base, etc. New projects for engines or complete vehicles are on the way. In addition, several domestic automakers such as FAW, SAIC and Dongfeng plan to increase their production capacity by 65% ​​compared with the current level by 2013. Changan Automobile Engine, Liuzhou Wuling Liuji Power, Shanghai General Powertrain and other domestic automobile engine companies will expand their production capacity by 60% in 2013. All these new projects will trigger new machine tool requirements. According to the current investment plan and investment scale, according to the empirical data provided by the industry, if the average annual investment is 100 billion yuan and the equipment accounts for 70%, of which 50% is machine tools, the automobile industry provides about 35 billion yuan for the machine tool every year. .
It is understood that the main body of machine tool consumption in China's auto industry is divided into two levels. One is the four lines used for automobile production, namely, stamping, welding, painting and assembly line; the other is including engine, transmission, steering system, Processing of automotive parts including brake systems, transmission systems, and suspension systems. Among the four lines of the whole vehicle production, only the press line requires a machine tool, and the current domestic press line can fully meet the requirements. The focus of machine tool consumption is on the second level, that is, the processing of auto parts, which accounts for about 70% of the total equipment value of the whole vehicle. Some experts have estimated that the demand for machine tools for auto parts processing is more than ten times larger than that of OEMs.
As the core functional component of the car, engine processing equipment is one of the most important equipment for automobile production. With the acceleration of new models of vehicle manufacturers, the requirements for flexibility in engine production lines are becoming stronger and stronger. Usually, an engine production line needs to be able to meet at least the requirements of three models. At the same time, the lighter trend of automobile development makes the conversion of the engine block and cylinder head material from cast iron to aluminum alloy, which puts new and higher requirements on the engine processing machine.
The main components that make up the engine are the cylinder block, the cylinder head, the crankshaft, the camshaft, and the connecting rod. Most of the machines required to process these parts are high-performance, high-performance, high-reliability CNC machine tools or special CNC machine tools. The flexible production lines for cylinder and cylinder head processing are mostly composed of horizontal machining centers; the crankshaft processing equipment is mainly truck-drawing machine tools, CNC crankshaft internal milling or external milling machines, CNC crankshaft grinding machines, crankshaft polishing machines, etc.; camshaft processing equipment is mainly Camshaft CNC lathes, camshaft grinders, etc.; and the connecting rod processing equipment is mostly dedicated equipment, such as double-face grinders. At present, most of the equipment for processing these parts is imported machine tools, which account for 90% or even 95% of China's automobile engine production. In addition, the localization rate of tools used on the engine production line is no more than 10%. This shows that China's automobile manufacturing industry not only needs to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being controlled by people, but also highlights the advantages of domestically produced vehicles in order to reduce manufacturing costs. It also needs a large number of "national goods" equipment to replace imports.
According to the survey of China Machine Tool Industry Association, the gap between domestic machine tools and imported equipment is mainly reflected in three aspects. First, lack of integration technology, lack of technology to integrate process systems and logistics systems into flexible manufacturing units or production lines; second, the reliability and stability of domestic machine tools need to be improved, especially in the mass production mode of automobiles. The contradiction is particularly prominent. Third, the domestic enterprises' service to users still stays in the after-sales service stage, and the automotive industry generally requires the provision of overall process equipment solutions. These gaps and problems should cause the machine tool manufacturers to pay full attention.
China's auto industry is in an unprecedented period of rapid development, and still shows strong development potential under the impact of the international financial crisis. The automotive industry has become the subject of machine tool consumption, and the analysis believes that its proportion has accounted for 40% of total machine tool consumption. The machine tool industry should firmly grasp the ten major development strategic opportunities of the automotive industry, aim at the current direction of automobile development, and target the world's automobile manufacturing technology and equipment for encouraging and supporting small-displacement vehicles, energy-saving and environmental protection, new energy vehicles and other hot projects. Develop cutting-edge technology, greatly increase the market share of domestic machine tools, and gradually realize import substitution, and develop together with the domestic automobile industry.
