The trend of machine tool technology development in the coming years

The rapid growth of machine tools in German iron and steel, electrical, mechanical, rail transportation, aviation and other machine tools will have a decisive effect on the demand for German machine tools. It is estimated that the domestic and overseas orders for German machine tools will increase by 10% in 2014, and the machine tool output will increase by 3% to 14.8 billion euros, which is the highest point in history.

In 2014, the rapid growth in the field of machine tools for Germany's steel, electrical, mechanical, rail transportation, aviation and other machine tools will have a decisive effect on the demand for German machine tools. In 2013, growth in countries with higher orders for German machine tools overseas - Turkey, the United Kingdom and Russia will no longer be significant in 2014. Overseas orders will mainly rely on Asia and the Americas. It is estimated that the domestic and overseas orders for German machine tools will increase by 10% in 2014, and the machine tool output will increase by 3% to 14.8 billion euros, which is the highest point in history. If the world’s political pattern is stable in 2015 and no regional crisis occurs, this growth trend is expected to continue.

The German Machine Tool Association believes that the trend of machine tool technology development in the coming years will be reflected in the personalization, automation and high efficiency. Personalized products are not only the machine itself, but the concept penetrates into the various auxiliary components of the machine, such as cooling systems, loading and unloading systems, storage systems and so on. Some users are no longer planning large-scale production lines, but simply select the key machines that they must have. The user provides the part and the machine manufacturer designs the solution. In addition, energy conservation will also be a long-term theme. It is a trend to reduce energy consumption by using components such as variable frequency motors and low-power hydraulic valves.
