"In the process of industrial development, enterprises are like scattered pearls, only a chain of beads can bloom. Especially since the implementation of the" robot "application action implementation plan" of the national ministries and commissions, the application of robots in ten key areas has blossoming. The Henan Robot Industry Association should give full play to the influence and driving force of the association, speed up the construction of a supply and demand docking platform for upstream and downstream enterprises, and work together to solve bottlenecks and common problems such as scientific and technological innovation, high-end talents, and industrial parks. we will promote the modernization of the robot and CNC machine tool industry chain, and improve the integrity and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain." Wang Jichang, president of Henan Robot Industry Association, said in an interview with a video reporter from Dahe Daily.

Industrial robots and CNC machine tools continue to grow in size

Robots are known as the "crown of manufacturing", and industrial robots are the jewels in the crown. Therefore, the research and development, manufacturing and application of industrial robots are important indicators to measure the level of a country's scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing.

Dahe Daily Yu Video reporter learned from the above work meeting that the Henan Robot Industry Association quoted statistics from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) that the global industrial robot market will be $17.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $23 billion in 2024. The scale of the domestic industrial robot industry has ranked first in the global market for many years.

According to the statistics of Henan Robot Industry Association, the total number of robot-related enterprises in Henan Province is 12685, ranking eighth in the country, mainly distributed in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Nanyang and other places, involving parts, robot body, system integration and application and other fields. Among them, there are 101 regulated enterprises that have formed large-scale production.

With the advent of the era of industrial 4.0, China's industrial robot market has shown explosive growth and is expected to maintain a high growth rate in the next few years.

As the "industrial mother machine" of robot manufacturing, the scale of the global CNC machine tool industry is also increasing year by year. Henan Robot Industry Association quoted the forecast data of China Business Industry Research Institute, which shows that the scale of China's CNC machine tool industry is expected to reach 409 billion yuan in 2023.

Among them, Henan Province focuses on the development of large-scale, precision, high-speed CNC machining equipment and systems, and has now formed a number of products and industries with obvious regional advantages in the same industry in the country. Relying on advantageous enterprises, Henan Province has cultivated domestic leading medium and high-end CNC machine tool production bases, special CNC machine tool production bases and key parts production bases. Among them, the key basic components have obvious advantages. Luoyang Axial Research Technology, Luoyang LYC Bearing, Anyang Laibitai Machinery, Anyang Foward and other enterprise products have greater influence in China.

The market is developing rapidly, forcing the industrial chain to accelerate upgrading.

The robot industry chain includes four major links: core component production, robot body manufacturing, system integration and industry application. A reporter from Dahe Daily and Yu Video learned from the work meeting that the participating companies have both affirmation and expectations for the development of Henan's robot and CNC machine tool industry.

The situation of Henan Robot Industry Association shows that from the upstream of the industrial chain, the key parts and components enterprises such as reducers, servo systems, controllers and sensors needed by robots are mainly concentrated in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan. China is concentrated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shaanxi and other places, Henan is mainly concentrated in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xuchang and other places.

From the middle reaches of the industrial chain, the global leading enterprises in the robot industry are mainly distributed in Germany, the United States, Japan and other countries, while China's robot enterprises are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Liaoning and other places. Henan is mainly distributed in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xuchang and other places.

From the perspective of the downstream of the industrial chain, under the integration and development of artificial intelligence, hardware, network, cloud computing and other technologies, the degree of intelligence and flexibility of robots has been continuously improved, and the ability to adapt to scenes has become stronger and stronger, and robots have accelerated in various application fields. penetration.

"At present, the robot industry in Henan Province has achieved rapid development in quantity, and the robot industry chain has basically taken shape. However, due to insufficient technology accumulation and weak industrial foundation, the upstream and downstream industrial chain of industrial agglomeration areas is not complete, especially high-end products are still lacking. Compared with the domestic Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other areas with a strong foundation for the development of the robot industry, the gap is still relatively large." He Jiansheng, deputy general manager of Zhengzhou Yueda Science and Technology Equipment Co., Ltd., said.

Established in 2003, Zhengzhou Yueda Technology Equipment Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in welding and cutting and its automation, coating automation, intelligent equipment and its integrated production line. Its comprehensive technical strength in the field of coating and welding ranks the leading level in China.

"From the overall level, Henan robot industry chain is in the middle state. From the distribution state, the upstream lack of robot core parts manufacturing, midstream enterprises are in the growth stage, technology support is not mature, industry enterprises are mostly in the downstream of the industrial chain system integration and application." He Jiansheng said.

The current situation facing the CNC machine tool industry is that with the continuous upgrading and development of downstream industries, the market has higher and higher requirements for machine tool processing accuracy and accuracy stability. The demand for mid-to-high-end products has become increasingly prominent, and the demand for updates and upgrades is strong.

Hu Fangkun, general manager of Henan Kurui Robot Technology Co., Ltd., Cheng Jianan, chairman of Sany Intelligent Equipment (Anyang) Co., Ltd., and Li Xuexiao, deputy director of Anyang Xinsheng Machine Tool Co., Ltd., have reached a consensus that the upgrading of China's machine tool market structure is developing in the direction of complete automation, customer customization and general shift upgrading, and is expected to further develop in the direction of high-end, integration, service and autonomy.

"The combination of CNC machine tools and the combination of CNC machine tools will be the future development trend." Professor Ning Yi, director of the Robotics Research Institute of Henan University of Technology, said. Domestic medium and high-grade CNC machine tools in the stock update, import substitution and downstream industry boom background, the industry as a whole is expected to usher in accelerated development.
