Revealing Japan's terrifying machine tool industry

In addition to self-reform, Japan is also a country that is very good at learning from other countries. In the early days when Japanese industry was still relatively weak, they humbly learned technology from Germany, an old industrial country, vigorously introduced advanced equipment from the United States and Germany, and at the same time hired well-known foreign experts with high salaries to provide guidance. They are like giant sponges, eagerly absorbing nutrients from others. Choosing what is good has always been the accelerator of Japan's economic development.

"The times create heroes, and heroes are also in the right time." The development of things is inseparable from one's own efforts, and it is also inseparable from the tolerance of the times. The torrent of the times drives the forward development of things, and the two are like Bole and a thousand-mile horse. A delicate relationship.

The icing on the cake is the foresight of Fujitsu's leadership, which successfully foresaw the coming of the 3C (Communication, Computer, Control) era and made long-term development plans for machine tools and other industries in advance. Among them, FANUC, led by Inaba, seized the opportunity. After years of development, it is now world-renowned in CNC.

2. Hard quality leads to the reputation of "ruthless character"

The high level of Japanese machine tools is widely praised internationally. Whether it is Mazak, Amada, Okuma, Okamoto and other local Japanese machine tool brands, any one of them is well-known in the industry at home and abroad. Various machine tool brands together form Japan's complete machine tool production chain, and they also occupy half of the global CNC machine tool field.

3. The fact that the craftsman's heart creates a "ruthless character"

Their innovation is not simply to cater to the market, but more to explore their own unknown areas. Just as Japan has successfully manufactured the mother machine with the highest precision in the field of ultra-precision machining in the world. In terms of processing accuracy, it is nearly 8 times higher than the LODTM and DTM-3 of LLNL in the United States and the OAGM2500 of CUPE in the United Kingdom. However, high precision naturally This means high costs.

The "alternative" manufacturing concept that does not rush to realize cash has caused companies in many countries to stand still. But not being in a hurry to realize cash does not mean that the sensitivity to market demand has decreased. Japanese machine tool companies attach great importance to market research and pay attention to international changes. With the support of powerful research data, Japan can make appropriate micro-decisions and long-term development strategies in the face of changing market demands, quickly seize the market, and apply technology into practice.

Japan's Yamazaki Mazak (MAZAK) Company is a world-renowned machine tool manufacturer.

Founded in 1919, it mainly produces CNC lathes, compound turning and milling machining centers, vertical machining centers, and horizontal machining centers.

In 1946, Amada Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was established by Isamu Amada (the founder). It was initially mainly engaged in the business of sheet metal machinery and cutting products. In 1955, it developed and manufactured a band saw disc called contour and began selling it in 1956.

Japan's largest machine tool manufacturer, the world's largest gantry machining center manufacturer, and Japan's Okuma Machine Tool, which has a century of machine tool manufacturing experience, is one of the largest CNC machine tool manufacturers in Japan and the world. It has a history of more than 100 years.

Founded in 1948, Mori Seiki is one of the largest machine tool manufacturers in Japan. The company mainly produces CNC lathes, machining centers, and CNC grinders. Among them, CNC lathes and machining centers rank first in market share in Japan. Bit.

The characteristic is that the CNC machine tool is first-rate.

Mr. founded the company in 1937, specializing in the production of Type 1 vertical milling machines. Makino developed Japan's first CNC milling machine in 1958, and successfully developed Japan's first machining center in 1966.

Komatsu NTC was established in July 1945 and is affiliated to Japan's Komatsu Manufacturing Co., Ltd. It is a comprehensive machine tool manufacturing enterprise that mainly provides a large number of high-quality precision metal processing equipment to the world's automobile manufacturers.

Features: three-dimensional five-axis CNC laser cutting.

Aida is an enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales of high-speed punches, precision punches, servo punches and stamping automation. Mainly engaged in the manufacturing and sales of punch machinery, industrial robots, and various automatic transmission devices.

Aida's forging machinery products include open and closed presses, cold forging presses, high-speed punches, servo presses, large multi-station presses and peripheral equipment.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was founded in 1884 and is Japan's largest military manufacturer.

Through the automatic programming system developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the NC programs required for dressing and grinding can be compiled by simply inputting various parameters, achieving high-precision machining and suitable for the power generation field.

The characteristics are, gear grinding technology, large-scale and automation.

Japan Sodick focuses on the mold industry and supports various manufacturing projects, including: CAD/CAM product design for mold processing, electrical discharge machining of mold parts, high-speed milling centers, and electron beam finishing of finished surfaces (especially electron beam PIKA surface processing unit EBM) as well as injection molding processing and linear processing technology.

Japan's Sodick Corporation developed the "OPM250L" 3D printer that uses metal materials in 2014.
