Japanese machine tools have dominated the world for 20 years with technology and innovation

Japan is a world economic power and a manufacturing power. If it weren't for the impact of the financial crisis in 2009, Japan's position as the world's number one machine tool output value is estimated to be difficult to shake. The first is to pay attention to the introduction of advanced technology and equipment, and to be good at absorbing or applying the achievements of other countries, which has accelerated the speed of development. When the Japanese machine tool industry started, the foundation was almost zero. In this case, they did not start from scratch on their own, but introduced a large number of advanced technology and equipment, purchased advanced machine tools from Europe and the United States for anatomical analysis, and hired foreign experts as consultants and guidance to develop and produce domestic machine tools. From the early near 'imitation' copy to the later complete 'innovationDue to Japan's active introduction and application of new technologies from Europe and the United States, the technical standards of Japanese machine tool manufacturing have been greatly improved, and new products manufactured by itself have been continuously developed, and the output value has also increased sharply. Today, although Japan has gradually become a major producer of machine tools and exported a large number of products, it still continues to import advanced equipment from Europe and the United States and introduce advanced technology from Europe and the United States. However, about 70% of the imported machine tools are special processing machines such as the world's most advanced electrical discharge machines and laser machines. The second is to focus on continuous innovation and research and development of the world's latest technology, so that the production of machine tools will be in a leading position for a long time. Many analysts believe that Japan has always been aiming at the latest technology in the world's machine tool production, constantly researching new topics, launching new products, and constantly seizing the technological frontier of the world's machine tool production, making itself invincible. With the emergence of these research topics, batches of advanced machine tools with higher and higher scientific and technological content have been developed. Entering the 21st century, under the situation that industrial safety and hygiene and green industry have become common requirements all over the world, Japanese machine tools have taken dry cutting and cutting processing as the focus of research and are at the forefront of the world. It can be said that the Japanese machine tool industry has new research topics every year. Every year, it introduces contemporary new technologies and develops new technology-leading products every year, which promotes the continuous progress of machine tool production. The third is to focus on the development of foreign trade and continuously increase overseas investment, which has effectively enhanced the competitiveness in the global machine tool market. While we are still importing Japanese machine tools to solve manufacturing problems, Japanese companies are already thinking about the next product strategy. This spirit of constant pursuit of excellence in quality and an innovative strategy is one of the reasons why Japanese machine tools lead the world.
