CCTV News: Machine tools are called industrial master machines, and are "the machine that manufactures machines" and are the core production tools of the manufacturing industry. All industrial production cannot be separated from the support of machine tools. Since the beginning of this year, driven by emerging industries such as humanoid robots and new energy vehicles, orders for industrial master machines have soared, and the demand for mid-to-high-end CNC machine tools has been particularly strong.

In a CNC machine tool manufacturer in Dongguan, Guangdong, the reporter saw that the production line of the workshop was fully powered. The person in charge told reporters that as the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing accelerates, demand from emerging industries has increased significantly this year, and workers have been working overtime to catch orders since the beginning of the year.

Another CNC airport company in Foshan, Guangdong is also a busy scene. It is understood that unlike in the past, under the promotion of emerging industries, various manufacturers have higher requirements for the processing accuracy and delivery cycle of CNC machine tools.

With the help of national large-scale equipment updates and consumer goods trade-in policies, the domestic CNC machine tool industry has ushered in rapid development. The latest data shows that my country's metal processing machine tools production in 2024 was 205 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%. In 2024, new orders and orders in hand of metal processing machine tools increased by 5.5% and 10.8% year-on-year respectively.

The advantages of high-end CNC machine tools are highlighted, and the overseas market of domestic equipment is ushering in growth.

As the domestic machine tool industry chain gradually improves, the domestic production speed of high-end CNC machine tools is constantly accelerating. Industrial master machine enterprises seize market opportunities and accelerate the expansion of overseas markets.

In a machine tool manufacturer in Dongguan, Guangdong, workers are facing the digital display screen and stepping up the debugging of a batch of CNC machine tools that are about to be exported to Italy.

In another machine tool manufacturer in Foshan, Guangdong, the reporter saw a laser CNC machine tool working. Through its independently developed optical control and path planning software, the company turned the laser into a clever carving knife, carving fine textures on various complex curved surfaces.

According to data from the China Machine Tools Industry Association, the export volume of machine tool products in 2024 was US$21.72 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4%.
