Reasons for the unbalance of the tool industry structure

We need not only the ability to make tools, but also the ability to apply the tools to the actual production process, so that we can have a solid theoretical and practical foundation and have our own intellectual property rights.
In recent years, although my country's hardware and tool industry has developed a lot, it has lagged far behind the development of the machine tool industry. According to data, China's current annual tool sales are 14.5 billion yuan, of which cemented carbide tools account for less than 25%. Not only is it far from the international market tool product structure, but also can not meet the domestic manufacturing industry's growing demand for cemented carbide tools Demand.
At present, the unbalanced tool structure is that the produced tool is out of line with the demand. For example, the gap of carbide cutters required by users is large, but the production of high-speed steel cutters is excessive; the gap of high-efficiency cutters urgently needed by modern manufacturing industry is large, but the production of low-grade standard cutters is excessive. The Secretary-General of the International Mould and Hardware Plastics Industry Suppliers Association believes that from the perspective of the technological development trend of the machinery manufacturing industry, the proportion of high-efficiency CNC machine tools in our factories will increase year by year, and the demand for efficient and advanced tools will increase rapidly. The demand for traditional standard tools will decrease year by year.
"China is a major producer and exporter of hardware tools. Among them, most of the power tools sold globally are produced and exported from China. China has become the world's major supplier of power tools. Although China's hardware tool industry is relatively large Large, but due to factors such as weak technological innovation capability, overly single market structure, and weak brand influence, many hardware tool manufacturers often lack core competitiveness and are difficult to grow bigger and stronger." Due to insufficient independent innovation by domestic tool companies, Focusing only on the benefits of "short, flat, fast" low-end products, because of conservatism, I dare not change the market transformation of enterprises, and I am not willing to increase the investment in the introduction and update of advanced equipment, technologies, and processes. The patience of sex research has always been a wait-and-see luck, waiting for other companies to develop new products, take a simple analysis at their own convenience, make slight adjustments to make finished products, blindly follow the trend to the market, and completely ignore market saturation and corporate needs. Often this follow-up development with quick success and short-term success can only rely on other excellent foreign companies, losing the leading power of development and innovation, and the overall system level of the product is always hovering between 80% and 90%; due to the lack of exploration of deep product technology The ability to re-innovate is weak, and it can only stop at the product development that looks like a god.

Imperfect R&D system makes it difficult to achieve a breakthrough in cohesion
At present, the basic management of industry enterprises is weak, and some outstanding problems that have existed in management for a long time cannot be effectively solved, and it has become a bottleneck that seriously restricts enterprises to become stronger and better, and scientific development. Among them, the management of the R&D system has also become an important part of enterprise management innovation. Compared with excellent foreign companies, domestic companies still have gaps in soft power such as the establishment of R&D centers, R&D project management, the introduction and cultivation of high-level talents, and the optimization of personnel incentive systems. In addition, the lack of guidance to the R&D team with a high degree of industry strategy cannot synthesize the advantages of all parties to form a joint effort to break through the key difficulties; scattered and differentiated weak R&D tricks often try to break through the problems, but often fail to work hard or block the thinking and lag behind Can only get its "form" and not see its "god".
R&D systematic accumulation, less production link instability
The tool industry includes knowledge fields such as matrix material design, coating organization structure design, tool appearance structure design, and special digital technology development. The updating of any discipline theory and technology will drive the systematic adjustment and adjustment of the entire tool industry technology. Also on the production line, the subtle missing or floating of any link program related to the above technology will inevitably affect the stability of the tool product performance index. As far as the cutting tool matrix material is concerned, the composition of each domestic company's corresponding brand is basically the same, and the conventional performance reports such as hardness, density, and coercive force are also basically the same. However, the actual performance feedback is uneven. To break this embarrassment of "the shape is not similar to God", it is urgent to systematically consolidate the research and development of cutting tools, explore the connection of each link, and match each other layer by layer, interlocking with each other to guide the actual production and ensure the stability of the product To find the key to "both form and form". The lack of supporting service capabilities of domestic knives can not exert their "god"
In terms of market application and service level, foreign tool companies have a complete range of products, not just limited to the production of knives, they can also provide corresponding supporting services according to customer needs, really do what customers think, so they can often firmly occupy the market. In contrast, due to the long-term dominant market structure of standard knives in my country, the knives companies and user companies are simply traded, some even through agents, and no service is involved at all. Therefore, the vast majority of domestic tool companies basically have no service power, resulting in that even domestic tool companies can produce high-quality products, but they cannot provide reasonable matching for the customer's processing technology. "Wherever he is and he cannot exert the effect of "God".
Faced with the current situation of "beautiful appearance", Liu Yuling, chief engineer of Beiyi CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd., once mentioned that domestic machine tool companies should make more improvements in "primitive innovation, excellent production, and turn-key capabilities".
At present, the development momentum of well-known foreign tool companies is not diminishing. In this case, to achieve good and fast development of domestic tool companies, it is necessary to break the existing research and development ideas and start from the customer's perspective, grow together with customers, from Develop your own products based on actual needs, not just replace foreign tools. We need not only the ability to make tools, but also the ability to apply the tools to the actual production process, so that we can have a solid theoretical and practical foundation and have our own intellectual property rights.
