By the global financial crisis, in 2009, the performance of the world machine tool market downturn, production and sales declined. Japan, the first three quarters of 2009 the output value of less than 61% over the same period in 2008. European Machine Tool Manufacturers Association (CECIMO) said that the fifteen countries to join the machine tool industry, ordering the first quarter of 2009, the amount of average reduction of 53% year on year. German Machine Tool Association (VDW) expects the country’s machine tool production in 2009 decreased by 40% than the previous year; the Italian machine tool industry output value is also reduced; Chinese machine tool industry in October 2008 ~ January 2009 output declined from 2009 February after gradually pick up, but compared with a year earlier, the growth rate for all the decline.

Aspect Two: China’s machine tool market demand picks up

China’s industrial economy in 2009, bottoming out 1 to 2 months, as of August has reached double-digit growth. This means that, in response to financial crisis, China in energy, transportation and other aspects of macro-control policies, and 4 trillion yuan investment to stimulate domestic demand stimulus to work. In this context, in April 2009, the China International Machine Tool Show (CIMT) in Beijing. At the meeting, exhibit a large number of very large machine tools and five-axis machining center products, which fully demonstrates the potential of the Chinese machine tool market. In addition, China’s machine tool imports also picked up: The Case of Japan, September 2009, the Japanese machine tool exports to China grew 66%.

Aspect Three: The Indian machine tool market has great potential

India is the rapid recovery in the financial crisis, one of the countries, the automotive industry demand for machine tools, in just seven or eight years, the total demand for machine tool industry grew more than tenfold. However, the Indian machine tool trade deficit preached an extreme irrational structure, and its imports more than 4 times for domestic. As a pillar industry of the country’s automobile industry, many foreign companies, therefore, the introduction of the core production equipment, a large number of foreign-made equipment, the dependence on imported machine tools is very serious. May 2009, India International Machine Tool Exhibition (IMEX) held in Mumbai, and the show reflects the user greatest concern is how to purchase imported machine tools.

Aspect Four: after a lapse of six bye EMO machine tool exhibition as one of four world EMO (European International Machine Tool Fair), the first time in six years, on October 5, 2009 grand opening in Milan, Italy, the show takes the world The largest exhibition hall, display area of ​​18 square meters, the exhibition has grown over the previous 40%. From around the world latest technology machine tools and machine parts and components assembled in the show, the world’s high-end machine tools and machine tool industry for machine tools has become increasingly evident polarization. In 2008, the Italian machine tool output value ranked fourth, behind Japan, Germany, China, the same time, Italy is second only to Germany, Japan, the world’s third largest exporter of machine tools.

Aspect V: World CNC manufacturing giants have lifted cooperation

Japan, the world’s manufacturing giants CNC FANUC (FANUC Corporation) and the United States GE (General Electric) in August 2009 decided to dissolve two joint venture GE-FANUCAUTOMATIONCorporation (GEFANUC Automation, Inc.). GEFANUC Automation was established in 1986, has grown into an industry-leading technology and outstanding performance of the company, its business studied under the energy, water, fast moving consumer goods, defense and telecommunications industries. In the future, the two sides will concentrate on developing their own characteristics the industry, FANUC said that this is based on the best interests of both parties to consider lifting the cooperation will bring greater benefits for both parties. In addition, there is news that Germany’s Siemens and Yaskawa Electric Corporation of Japan will lift the double joint venture in October 2000 to establish the NC department. Yaskawa Electric Corporation from the NC in the cause of exit.

Aspect Six: European and American machine tool manufacturers fighting for survival

Financial crisis on the European and American manufacturers of machine tools are more serious. Swiss manufacturer of precision lathes GF Agie Charmilles Group, the brand by the world machine tool market downturn, in 2009 half the order amount. To completely reduce costs, GF Group two EDM (EDM) concentrated in a factory plant. Coincidentally, the U.S. machine tool giant Hardinge In order to maintain their competitiveness, the adjustment of product structure, production of machine tools adjustable configuration, so prices range from a single pricing becomes adjustable. Meanwhile, the parts will be made in the past to outsource all processing to optimize operating costs.

Aspect VII: Taiwan held its largest machine tool exhibitions in the history of the industry

March 2009, Taiwan held TIMTOS2009 (Taipei International Machine Tool Show), the show sets the Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall and the two venues, the exhibition area will be the last TIMTOS booth expansion from 2800 to 4871, the participation Business is also up to 896 companies. Gardner Press, according to the U.S. the world’s machine tool production data published in 2008, the output value of Taiwan’s machine tool over South Korea, the sixth entry from the original five. In addition to a large number of sales tools in addition to the mainland in 2009, there are 105 enterprises in Taiwan to Milan, Italy, to participate in EMO (European International Machine Tool Fair), with intent to seize the European market.

Aspect VIII: Italian government has introduced tax incentives to encourage investment in equipment

In late June 2009, the Italian Government towards the new plan, high-tech machinery and equipment investment costs and operating profits and so half of the tax policy through discussion and formal legislation. The policy execution time for the July 2009 ~ June 1, 2010, a period of one year. It is understood that assistance accounted for a large proportion of Italian machinery manufacturing equipment investment policies for SMEs in 1994, implemented before 2001, this is the third time. Encourage the revitalization of machinery and equipment investment is a powerful means of its own manufacturing, the effect was proved to be good times.

Aspect Nine: Germany HEXEGON Group worldwide machine industry

Headquartered in Sweden, the world’s largest manufacturer of measurement, Germany HEXEGON (Hexagon) in the field of vision sensor is extraordinary strength, he has also acquired a number of non-multi-sensor company. In 2009, the company has acquired the U.S. Will Hancock.
