Tool technology is an important factor affecting the development of machinery manufacturing

Cutting tools, an extremely important part of the equipment manufacturing industry, are tools used for cutting in mechanical manufacturing, also known as cutting tools. Since the tools used in mechanical manufacturing are basically used to cut metal materials, the term "tool" is generally understood as a metal cutting tool. The knives used for cutting wood are called woodworking knives. There is also a type of tool specially used for geological prospecting, well drilling, and mine drilling, which is called mining tool.

In the foreign machine tool industry, there was a saying-"The dividend of the enterprise is on the edge", which shows the important position of the tool in the development of the machine tool industry. In fact, according to the "Machining Tool Patent Analysis Report", cutting currently accounts for about 90% of the entire machining workload. It can be said that cutting is still the dominant processing method in the machinery manufacturing industry throughout the 21st century. As an important basic process equipment in cutting processing, tool technology plays a vital role in the development of modern manufacturing.

At present, tool technology is playing an increasingly important role in modern machinery manufacturing fields such as automobiles, aerospace, energy, military, and molds. High-efficiency advanced cutting tools can significantly improve processing efficiency and reduce production costs by 10% to 15%. The quality of the tool determines the production level of the machinery manufacturing industry, and it is a very important factor for the manufacturing industry to improve production efficiency and product quality.

In view of the key role of tool technology in the machine tool industry, the development of tool technology is particularly important. From the current point of view, my country’s tool industry has problems such as low product consumption, low added value of tool products, strong import dependence on high-efficiency advanced tools, and weak competitiveness in the international market. Therefore, it is necessary to improve innovation capabilities, develop independent technologies, and enhance Enterprise competitiveness is the top priority for the development of my country's cutting tool industry.
