subject: U.s. Machine Tool Industry Review [print this page] U.S. successive governments have attached great importance to the machine tool industry, the U.S. Department of Defense and other departments because of the military aspects continue proposed machine tool development direction, research tasks, and provide adequate funding, and also recruit talent in the world, in particular, focusing on basic scientific research.
Currently, the U.S. machine tool manufacturing industry in the efficient automation of machine tools, automatic production line, NC machine tools, FMS and other machine tool technology and industrial production are still in leading place in the world.
Mainly spread over the mid-west and northeast states and so on, the main customers are automotive industry, aerospace industry, construction and medical equipment manufacturing and so on.
U.S. machine tool technology in the world has been able to maintain long-term lead and the government guide strengthening R & D and innovation and so on aspects play a crucial role.
Main features as follows: First, for the direction of major research projects make plan and measures and provide adequate funding. Such as provide substantial funding for NC machine tool research and development. Provide 100 million U.S. dollars for he new generation of NC system R & D.
Second, organize scientific cooperation between the research units and enterprises. For example: a new generation of NC system R & D, manufacturing by the National Center for Science in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Development; CIM research and development, government organizations, General Motors, Boeing Aircraft Company and the companies jointly developed the machine tool industry.
Third, the new product developed, the organization promoting method put into effect while also accelerating research further deepened.
Focus on the future, the U.S. machine tool has the following significant trends: First, pursuit of higher processing efficiency of the machine tool. Because increasing the efficiency of machine parts is equivalent to shortening the processing cycle, there are two ways to shorten the processing cycle, one way is to improve the cutting speed, that is improve spindle speed.
Second, to pursuit safe, reliable and environmental friendly machine tools. As the machine speed increase, the operator's safety and health were also mentioned priority position. At present, the U.S. developed high-end machine tool in hurt places almost plus a safety warning device.
Third, the rapid development of machine tool supports parts industry. Machine tool accessories development rapidly, products is variety. The main products are ball screw, precision bearings, all kinds of rotary table, tool changer, a variety of pneumatic, hydraulic devices, linear guide and the spindle parts and so on.
Fourth, to pursuit higher quality machines tool. At present, the machine tool manufacturers pay more attention to the shape of the coordination of beauty and soft colors; the high-end of machine tool is turn to craft direction development.
