Ranking status of machining center brands around the world

For machining center brands around the world, the ranking is based on the accuracy, configuration, price, market share and other relevant factors of the equipment. Ranking of machining centers; this article cannot cover all machining center brands in the world, and this ranking of machining centers is for reference only;

China’s current machining center technology applications are basically in sync with the world, in terms of accuracy and stability. There is a relatively large gap between world-class levels. Why is there a big price gap between foreign and domestic machining centers for the same 850 vertical machining center (X-direction stroke is 800mm, Y-direction stroke is 500mm), and why is there a considerable price difference between domestic machining center brands?

Typical vertical machining center manufacturers at home and abroad are divided into 7 categories. Take the most common manufacturer’s standard configuration of the three-axis 850 vertical machining center as an example (only for the main model, the configuration of each manufacturer will be different. Different), let’s talk about the characteristics of these 7 types of machining centers. Through queuing and comparison, a correct analysis of the position of domestic processing centers can be made.

The distinction between each echelon is very troublesome. The manufacturers mentioned in this article are all companies that have survived many years of market testing. The selling prices of their machining centers are basically recognized by the market, and the selling prices of machining centers can basically reflect the market. Their product configuration and actual value. The final decision was based on the approximate selling price. This classification is actually not very scientific and there is no solution.

The first echelon machining center---Super first-class players: Concentrate on going your own way and let history evaluate

Swiss Mikron, Swiss BOME, and Swiss in the first echelon Brands such as Strager, Swiss Ligit, Swiss Weilimin, German Hammer, German Ogilvy, and German JIRON are among the top players in the field of machining centers, with prices exceeding 1.5 million.

No matter in terms of appearance, design level and innovation, or processing capabilities and processing precision, it is almost impeccable. Careful workmanship, excellence, machine tool processing accuracy is extremely high, and the output is very low. Because the price is too expensive and the cost of use is too high, users often only buy it under forced circumstances.

The machining center in the first echelon has a high brand image. For ordinary users, it can only be seen from a distance but not played with, just like a super sports car among machine tools. The high cost of procurement and use directly leads to a very low market application rate. Although the selling price is high, the profit may not be high. Although the quality is good, the operation may not be good. The turnaround after the glory may be sad tears. Swiss Mikron has been acquired by the Swiss AgieCharmilles Group, and Swiss Baumet has been acquired by Swiss Strager... It can't help but be reminded of the world's top supercar Bugatti Veyron. Behind the world's most powerful car is the tragedy of changing hands four times.

The quality of the machining center is ensured by the quality of the bed material, machining level, parts quality, assembly quality and production control. The assembly quality of the machining center is always guaranteed by labor, unlike cars and home appliances. Products such as these can realize automated assembly. There are high and low levels of assembly technicians, and mass production of machining centers has strict delivery time constraints. Because of this, it is difficult for machining centers for mass production to ensure a high level. This is why the top ten machining centers in the world in terms of sales volume The reason why central manufacturers cannot enter the first echelon.

The second echelon machining center---the master of the battle: the company is big and famous, and it is a good helper in the factory

In the second echelon, the German DMG, the German Spinner, and the German Spinner The names of many players, including Tamar, Japan's Mori Seiki, Japan's Daisuke, Japan's Mazak, Japan's Makino, Japan's Toyota Machinery, the United States' MAG, the United States' Hardinge Job, Italy's Fidia, and Spain's Danobat, are almost the same. It is familiar to all of us. It is the main processing center of the world's first-class machinery manufacturing companies. The price is positioned at 800,000-1.5 million.

These players have always been at the top of the world's processing center sales list. Generally small and medium-sized batches are produced, with good control and good quality. They are only used to produce high-profit products. The price is relatively affordable compared to the first echelon.

The second echelon manufacturers have strong promotion efforts, high market share, and specialize in solving difficult machining problems. Dingding’s reputation almost exceeds that of the first echelon.

For machining companies of a certain scale, if there are not a few second-tier players in charge, they will be embarrassed to say that their products are first-class. Most of the machining centers of some companies are mid- to low-end, and they will also buy one or two second-tier machine tools to add to their appearance, exclusively for taking orders and visiting customers.

The third echelon machining center---adepts in overcoming difficulties: Don’t complain and don’t give up, solving problems is the key point

Sino-Japanese joint venture Peking University, Sino-Japanese joint venture Little Giant Mazak , American Hardinge, American Haas, Korean Doosan, Korean Hyundai, Korean Samsung, Taiwan Yongjin, Taiwan Dongtai, Taiwan Taichung Precision Machinery, Taiwan Express, Taiwan Summit and other brands are the main machining center brands among the domestic first-line machinery manufacturers. . The selling price is between 450,000 and 800,000.

Although companies that produce first-class products also use machine tools from the first and second echelons, due to the high procurement costs, the machining centers from the third echelon are actually mainly used in large quantities. These machining centers are durable, reliable and stable, and will not fail at critical moments. They are a good helper to ensure product quality and production efficiency.

The fourth echelon processing center---the main force in actual combat: strong strength and high morale, busy working hard and looking forward to the future

Beiyi, Beijing Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Nantong Technology, Shenyang, Xin Brands such as Rui, Neway, Rifa, Haitian, Daikin, Taiwan Lichi, Taiwan Daqiao, Taiwan Dali, Taiwan Youjia, Taiwan Liwei, Taiwan Egema, Taiwan Qifa and other brands are among the first- and second-tier machinery manufacturers. The main machining center brand. The price is around 320,000-450,000.

The machining center market share of the 4th echelon is no less than that of the 3rd echelon. Although it is slightly inferior to the 3rd echelon in terms of stability and accuracy maintenance, because the price is more approachable, it has also become a high-level machine. The main machining center model among processing enterprises.

The companies in this echelon are composed of outstanding domestic companies and some mainland factories of Taiwanese companies. With a little effort, they may pose a threat to the third echelon. Several private domestic machine tool companies have a high starting point and rapid progress. I hope to be in the 3rd tier in a few years.

The fifth echelon processing center---Taiwan Balm: neither picky about food nor work, can do anything

Baoji, Yunnan, Dalian, Changzheng, Hanchuan, Ningjiang, Kai Machining centers of brands such as Da, Lianqiang (Xinzhe), Qinghai Yiji, Lunan, Hangji, Baojia, Wannan, Jieyongda, Yonghua, Dilime, Datian, Jiatai, Longsheng, etc., can be found in any You may see it in any machining company in a corner. The selling price is approximately 250,000-320,000. Some machining center brands will also launch some special models that cut corners and are not recommended.

The 850 machining center in this price range has the largest sales volume in the domestic market and is the most accepted by ordinary machinery users. There are hundreds or two hundred of these brands, and the competition has become fierce. Dirty work, tiring work, and work that no one is doing are all done by these machining centers. The working environment is correspondingly harsh, and the superior environment of constant temperature and humidity has nothing to do with them.

At least half of the manufacturers in this echelon use the method of assembling optical machines to produce vertical cameras. The products are highly homogeneous and the entry threshold is relatively low. If the factory is of comparable size and properly managed, the difference in quality between different brands will be small.

Choosing this echelon of machining centers requires users to have relatively strong application capabilities. They can flexibly choose the most suitable machining center components and optional accessories according to their actual needs. Using the machining center correctly and well can Produce impressive products.

The giants of domestic machining centers are fully capable of building the third and fourth echelons of Lijia, but they have relaxed their requirements and are willing to just hide in the fifth echelon and fight price wars, taking the country's huge sums What should we tell people to do when subsidizing companies to compete for profits with small and medium-sized enterprises? The frequent mergers and acquisitions of foreign machine tool companies by several major giants have not brought substantial improvements to their own products and markets, but they have been nicknamed "foreign machine tool brand destroyers". What is the problem?

The 6th echelon machining center---economical type: if it can be used, it will not be wasted, and if it is enough, it is a good choice

Haiteng, Best, Yiming, Dasen, Dingya Small brand machines such as , Haite, Lichuang, Dingtai, and Zhongbo generally use low-end brand CNC systems, with an approximate sales price of 180,000-250,000. Some companies adopt a production model of assembling optical machines.

Due to the relatively small scale of the enterprise, the machining centers in the 6th echelon are worse than those in the 5th echelon in terms of standardized quality management. At the same time, in order to reduce costs, some cheap brands will also be used when purchasing parts, which may have a certain impact on stability. Strict baking machines and factory inspections are a good way to reduce the factory failure rate of machining centers.

For small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have high product accuracy requirements and have tight procurement budgets, the 6th echelon machining center is a good choice. The emergence of Siemens 808D also gives Lijia in this echelon more choices for CNC systems.

The 7th Echelon Processing Center---The first choice to save money: Carefully and carefully select the right person, a good helper for starting a business

The 7th Echelon assembles the processing center for the guerrillas, and pays for it The price is less than 180,000.

The method is that the user purchases optical machines, CNC systems, screw rods, tool magazines and other components by themselves, and then the assembly guerrillas are responsible for on-site assembly. The quality level and site conditions, as well as the working mood of the assembly guerrillas, are directly related to Relatedly, there is no QC process such as quality control. Service quality is a no-brainer.

Machining centers of this level generally use Taiwan's Xindai, Baoyuan or domestic Kanedi and Guangzhou CNC systems. Mitsubishi M70 and FANUC 0I-MATE MD are also very common. The brand of the screw guide is not bad, and other parts are purchased with the attitude of saving as much as possible.

If you have a good personal relationship with the installation guerrillas, and the installation technician is of a high level, and you know something about mechanical and electrical maintenance, then congratulations, you have greatly reduced the purchase and cost of the machining center. Cost of use. If any two of these three conditions are not met, then the price you pay for use may be higher than purchasing a 6th or even 5th echelon.
