Status and Trends of CNC Machine Tools Global Development


The 2012 Chicago International Manufacturing Technology (Machine Tools) Exhibition (IMTS2012) demonstrated the latest technology developments and trends of the international machine tool industry. The IMTS show high-tech CNC machine tools, CNC systems, and the latest technology and production methods, prominent displaying the future development trends in CNC machine tools.

Global CNC machine tool technology status
  (1) High-speed, high-precision and multi-axis machining become mainstream. NM control of CNC machine tools has become the trend of high-speed, high precision.
    (2) CNC machine tools with multi-tasking and multi-axis machining are increasingly applied to the energy, aerospace and other industries.
(3) The integration of machine tools and robots become increasingly popular, and the diversification of structure, the scope of application expansion velocity of high-speed, multi-sensor fusion technology practical control intelligent, multi-robot coordination popularization.
  (4) intelligent processing and monitoring functions continue to expand, process monitoring and management of the workshop can obtain status information of the machine itself in real time, the analysis of relevant data, predict the state of the machine, do related maintenance in advance to avoid accidents, reduce machine failure rate, improve the utilization of the machine.
(5) The latest machine tool error detection and compensation technique can be completed measurement in a shorter period of time, compared with a traditional laser interferometer compensation for machine tools, machine tool error compensation accuracy can be increased by 3-4 times, while the efficiency improved significantly.
(6) The latest CAD / CAM technology provides a strong support for the processing of multi-axis multi-tasking CNC machine tools, which can significantly improve the processing efficiency.
(7) Tool technology is developing rapidly, the number of tool design covers the entire process, and the new tool is able to meet the requirements of the smooth processing and vibration resistance.

The development trends of foreign CNC Machinery system are as follow:
   The platform with digitalize; run with high-speed; processing refinement; function composite; control intelligent; the servo-driven with high-performance control.
