High-end CNC machine tools have a vital position in the field of intelligent manufacturing and play a decisive role in enhancing the global competitiveness of the manufacturing industry.
High-end machine tools have become the top products of the manufacturing pyramid with their numerical control, high precision, high processing complexity (number of linkage axes), high processing efficiency and large-scale characteristics.
According to the data of the Bureau of Statistics, from 2001 to 2021, the numerical control rate of machine tool production in mainland China has increased from 5% to more than 35%, but compared with the numerical control rate of machine tools in Japan of more than 80%, the high-end machine tool market in mainland China still has huge room for development.
In recent years, with the strong support of national policies, the innovation and development of high-end CNC machine tools have been strongly promoted.
According to QYResearch data, the global five-axis CNC machine tool market sales increased from $6.8 billion to $7.6 billion from 2020 to 2022.
Domestically, according to MIR data, the market size of five-axis machine tools in mainland China will increase from 6.82 billion yuan to 8.88 billion yuan from 2020 to 2022.
With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, aerospace and other industries, the demand for advanced processing equipment such as five-axis machine tools has increased significantly, and it is expected that by 2025, the domestic demand for five-axis machine tools is expected to exceed 10 billion, and the space for domestic substitution is broad.

Overview of the five-axis CNC machine tool industry
Five-axis CNC machine tool is a representative of high-end CNC machine tools, five-axis linkage CNC technology integrates computer control, high-performance servo drive and precision machining technology, is one of the important standards to measure the level of automation technology of a country's production equipment.
The technology of five-axis CNC machine tools involves the linkage of five axes, including three Cartesian axes of X, Y and Z and two additional rotation axes A, B or C, and the five axes can move at the same time.
Compared with the traditional three-axis machine tool, which can only perform plane machining, the five-axis machine tool can easily realize the machining of multi-sided and complex curved surfaces.
As a result, the production process chain is greatly shortened, the number of fixtures and fixtures and the floor space of the equipment are reduced, and the operation and maintenance and labor costs are reduced, showing extremely high cost performance and precision machining capabilities.
This makes the five-axis CNC machine tool a powerful alternative to the traditional three- and four-axis CNC machine tools in the field of high-end manufacturing.

At present, most manufacturing enterprises in mainland China still mainly use 2-3 axis machine tools, and the overall numerical control rate is relatively low, which leads to a mismatch between many high-end and high-precision processing needs and equipment, so it will accelerate the upgrading of machine tools.
For a long time, the mainland has been heavily dependent on imports in the field of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools.
Western countries have imposed a technical blockade on the mainland in the field of high-end CNC machine tools and technologies, especially five-axis CNC machine tools, which has also increased the difficulty of independent research and development and production in the mainland.
With the continuous support and guidance of the state in recent years, this situation is expected to be improved.
Five-axis CNC machine tool industry chain combing
In the industrial chain of CNC machine tools, the upstream mainly provides core components, including castings, such as bed bases and worktables, sheet metal and weldments, precision parts, such as spindle units and bearings, and various functional components, such as rotary tables, manipulators and tool magazines.
The downstream application fields of five-axis machine tools are wide, and a large number of new demand will arise from aerospace, electric vehicles, new energy, precision molds, and high-end tools.

Five-axis machine tool competition pattern and leading carding
ACCORDING TO MIRDATA DATA, AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF HIGH-END MACHINE TOOLS, THE MARKET OF FIVE-AXIS MACHINE TOOLS IS BASICALLY DOMINATED BY FOREIGN BRANDS, ACCOUNTING FOR MORE THAN 35% IN TOTAL.
Among them, GROB has a market share of 21%, and Demagison has also reached 12%.
In contrast, the market share of domestic manufacturers is low, the market share of Kede CNC is only 2%, and the market share of Beijing Jingdiao is 9%, but it is mainly concentrated in the product of five-axis carving machine.
From a technical point of view, in recent years, the high-end products launched by domestic machine tool companies have begun to break through.
Taking the five-axis vertical machine tool as an example, the domestic five-axis vertical machine tool has reached 5"/3" and 5"/2" in AC positioning accuracy and repeated positioning accuracy, which has a certain competitive advantage compared with foreign high-end models.
With the continuous progress of domestic high-end machine tool technology, the technical catch-up has laid a solid foundation for the localization process of high-end machine tools.

The CNC system is also an important reason for the huge gap between the high-end machine tools in the mainland and overseas. In the current division of labor in the industrial chain of the machine tool industry, the CNC system presents the characteristics of specialization and high concentration, and the global market is mainly monopolized by a few enterprises such as Japan's Fanuc, Mitsubishi and Germany's Siemens and Heidenhain.
Guangzhou CNC and Huazhong CNC are among the forefront of the domestic market, and the relevant participating manufacturers of CNC systems also include Suzhou New Generation, Zhongke CNC, Dalian Koyo, Dalian Dasen, Kane Di, Nanjing Huaxing, etc.
In addition, the participating manufacturers of the machine tool link mainly include Haitian Precision, Neway CNC, Kede CNC, Guosheng Zhike, Halma Technology, Zhejiang Heideman, etc. Machine tool parts manufacturers mainly include Huazhong CNC, Qinchuan Machine Tool, Hengli Hydraulics, Green Harmonic, Best, Haozhi Electromechanical, Wald, etc. #Machine Tools##CNC Machine Tools##Industrial Machine Tools##Made in China##Article Launch Challenge##财经新势力#
epilogue
In today's fierce competition pattern of global manufacturing industry, five-axis machine tools are a key link in the transformation and upgrading and high-quality development of high-end CNC machine tools in mainland China. Under the collaborative acceleration of all links in the industrial chain, domestic substitution is expected to accelerate.
