01, China “S specimen” five-axis machine tool testing method has officially become an international standard

 ISO10791-7: 2020 Test Conditions for Machine-grabbing Centres -Part7, revisedThe international standard for Accuracy of Finished Test Pieces has been approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and officially released. The result of 04 Special Project, China’s Test Method for “S Specimen” 5-axis Machine Tool, has officially become an international standard.

The S specimen emerged from the actual requirements of aircraft parts processing. It is a “touchstone” to test whether the dynamic working accuracy such as coordinate quadrant critical point transformation and small Angle machining can meet the machining accuracy and surface quality of aircraft parts in the processing of five-axis machine tool, which is scientific and practical.The “S” specimen is officially included in the ISO international standard, which is a major contribution to the development of 5-axis CNC machine tools in China and even the world.

 02, emergency reinforcements mask production, machine tool industry brave burden!

 In February, the national epidemic prevention and control entered a critical period, and masks became one of the most urgently needed protective materials for epidemic prevention and control and resumption of work and production.As a fundamental and strategic industry, machine tool industry enterprises face the nation needs, overcome various difficulties, fast response, in the shortest possible time to complete technical research, positive input mask of automation production equipment research and development, production, etc accessories, solidarity and overcome difficulties, effectively alleviate the tension of epidemic prevention material supply,It has made important contributions to winning the fight against the epidemic.

 The global machine tool market gradually picks up

 In the second half of 2020, with the effective control of the international epidemic, the global machine tool market shows a trend of gradual recovery.In China, with the gradual effect of various policies and measures and the gradual recovery of market demand, enterprises have gradually resumed work and production, and the production and operation have been on the right track month by month.The main economic indicators of the machine tool industry fell sharply in January and February, and improved month by month after March. In the third quarter, it showed an accelerated pickup trend.From January to September in 2020, the statistics show that the decline in operating income continues to narrow, the total profit accelerates the growth, the production and order growth of metalworking machine tools accelerate significantly.

 In the United States, where the epidemic hit the machine tool industry earlier this year, machine tool orders rose in October on a month-on-month basis, driven by sectors such as automobiles and railways.Orders for the month totaled $383.8 million, up 3.7 percent from an adjusted $370.1 million in September.In Japan, orders for industrial machine tools rose 8 percent year-on-year to 88.2 billion yen in November thanks to growth in overseas markets, ending a continuous decline since September 2018 and achieving the first year-on-year increase in more than two years.
