When will China’s CNC lathe technology be able to replace foreign technology?

As CNC machine tool processing technology has become a booming industry in China over the past few years, and with continuous innovation in foreign CNC machine tool technologies, just how advanced is China’s own CNC machine tool processing technology? Let’s find out together, as explained by our editor from Dongguan.

The process at a metalworking factory involves cutting materials according to production needs. Once the materials are cut, smaller components can be processed using CNC lathes for turning, milling, or CNC machining—this is commonly used in the manufacturing of mechanical and automotive parts. As for container fabrication, after the materials are cut and punched using a press brake, they are then welded together. Next, the surfaces are sandblasted, followed by oil coating, and finally, the components are assembled before the containers are ready for shipment. For small metal accessories, additional post-processing steps are required, such as polishing or electroplating, before they are welded, screwed together, packaged, and shipped out.

The Development Status of China's Hardware Processing Industry in 2019

The overall level of China’s hardware processing industry is not particularly high, and there are many small and medium-sized enterprises with relatively low starting points—most of them are still small workshops. However, in recent years, significant changes have taken place. One key factor is the improvement in the quality of the workforce. For example, factories like Wofu Hardware Processing Plant in Dongguan have already achieved a fairly high standard in terms of craftsmanship, technology, and management. Currently, the level of domestic production technology varies considerably. Many large foreign manufacturers have chosen China as their product-processing base, and numerous international companies have been actively entering the Chinese mainland market. Meanwhile, China’s hardware products are undergoing a phase of renewal and upgrading—transitioning from mid-to-low-end to high-end products. This presents both opportunities and challenges for China’s hardware industry.

CNC milling machines are typical machinery that integrate advanced technologies, and their development reflects a nation's manufacturing level. They have received great attention both domestically and internationally. Compared with conventional CNC machine tools, CNC milling machines have the following outstanding features:

Six Basic Considerations When Machining with CNC Routers

Generally, workpieces machined using CNC milling machines have complex shapes and involve numerous machining operations. A wide variety of cutting tools are also employed, and often, after a single clamping, the entire process—from rough machining and semi-finishing to finishing—needs to be completed in one go. Consequently, the resulting program tends to be quite complex. When programming, the following issues should be taken into account:
