Current Opportunities in the Field of Mechanisms in China

doi:10.3901/JME.2015.13.002

Abstract

Abstract: For the past two years, robots comeback with a high profile and present huge market prospects; advanced manufacturing equipment especially high-end CNC machine tool is still in urgent demand. However, their development is still not going well due to that basic components and CNC systems rely on imported goods, manufacturing techniques of key functional units are missing, reliability and performance of lead rails and lead screws are not good enough. In particular, swing tool heads and high-performance reducers, which greatly determine the functionality and performance of machine tools and robots, are important barriers for machine tools and robots in China to catch up with the world’s advanced level. Mechanism is a basic discipline of equipment structural design, and mechanism innovation is fundamental to the equipment innovation. Then, mechanism is naturally charged with the responsibility of innovation. Incorporating with the structure, functionality and application of machine tools and robots, the opportunities encountered by mechanism in the current stage of China have been analyzed and discussed. Hopefully, this work can provide references for the effective integration of academic research and industrial demand for advanced manufacturing equipment.

Key words: advanced manufacturing equipment, basic components, high-end machine tool, key functional units, robot
