With the advancement of science and technology and the development of the machine tool industry, the popularity and the level of performance of CNC machine tools have become an important indicator of a country's equipment manufacturing industry and its core competitiveness. Recently, the HTMC-30 CNC turning and milling complex machining center with a total investment of 215 million yuan was officially put into production at Hebei Saiqiang Heavy Industry. The industry believes that the project will promote the development of China's CNC equipment industry and drive the upgrading of the CNC equipment industry chain.

In recent years, China's CNC machine tool technology has achieved rapid development through introduction, digestion, absorption, and re-innovation. The variety, quantity, and service areas of CNC machine tools have formed certain advantages in the low-end market. However, in the high-end market, the competitiveness of China's CNC machine tools is still weak. It is mainly monopolized by manufacturers in Europe, Japan, and Taiwan, and there is a big gap between international advanced level in medium-to-high-end, large-scale CNC machine tools and related functional components. Accelerating the development of CNC machine tools has become a reality requirement for China's equipment manufacturing industry.

Hebei Saiqiang Metallurgical Heavy Industry Machinery Co., Ltd., with its more than 20 years of professional experience in mechanical manufacturing and its technical research and development advantages, signed the "Development of the HTMC-30 NC Turning and Milling Compound Machining Center with related design institutes in November 2010. "Technology Development Contract for Industrialization Technology Research", devoted itself to the research of CNC turning and milling and compounding processing technology at home and abroad, and finally formed its own technology and process method, which made a technical reserve for the implementation of the HTMC-30 CNC turning and milling complex machining project.

Xing Lijie, Chairman of Saiqiang Metallurgical Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. introduced that the scale of the HTMC-30 CNC turning-milling compound processing project is to produce 300 sets of seven-axis and five-linked HTMC-30 CNC turning and milling composite machining centers. The company plans to make the localization rate of the product parts of the project more than 82% within two years after the project is put into production, promote the development of China's CNC equipment industry, and promote the upgrade of the CNC equipment industry chain.

After nearly two years of research and development and experimentation, the HTMC-30 CNC turning and milling complex machining center with a total investment of RMB 215 million has now been put into production. The project has unique technical structure, high speed and high precision, high processing accuracy, easy operation, energy saving and environmental protection, safety and reliability, and high cost performance. At the same time, seven-axis and five-link HTMC-30 CNC turning and milling compound machining center can carry out automatic tool change to achieve flat, The flexible and highly efficient machining of geometrical elements such as taper surfaces, curved surfaces and threads makes it highly adaptable to the processing of special and complex parts and has high machining accuracy and efficiency.

People in the industry believe that the implementation of the project has created a precedent in this field and will meet the market demand in the fields of military industry, aerospace, automobile manufacturing, construction machinery, engineering machinery, shipbuilding, and molds, which will help improve the quality of CNC machine tools in China. It has a positive role in promoting the development of China's equipment manufacturing industry. (Source: China Economic Net)
