Small numerical control machine tool is in the process of industrial production in order to cope with the processing requirements of small hardware parts, targeted development of numerical control machine tool products. With high precision, high efficiency, automation, small size and complete functions, it is widely used in metal processing, mold manufacturing, parts processing, creative design and art production and other scenes.
In the field of consumer electronics, small CNC machine tools are applied to the right Angle frame of mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices for CNC turn-milling composite machining, which is widely used by Foxconn, BYD and other foundry.
Small CNC machine tool basic pattern
The global CNC machine tool market is mainly occupied by Japan Fanuc, Germany Siemens and other enterprises, especially high-grade CNC systems, Fanuc accounts for more than 30% of the market share in China, small CNC machine tools as precision machining machine tool equipment, high-end products also need to rely on imports to Japan and other countries, imported products in product quality, quality assurance cycle and other aspects have advantages.
Small numerical control basic sales model
Through market research, China Research Century found that small CNC machine tool suppliers usually use the form of distribution for sales, the main reason is that the distribution channel agents can bring customer resources for the company, thus contributing more performance to the company. Direct sales channels are more about long-term cooperation with large customers in demand. Direct sales can better establish direct contact with large customers and facilitate the company to deeply understand the market demand. Some manufacturers for large customers with large procurement volume, in order to maintain customer relationship and enhance after-sales service, they will send special personnel to the customer factory for service support.
Small CNC machine tool industry opportunities
There are periodic fluctuations in the demand for small CNC machine tools in the field of consumer electronics. Apple used a right Angle center frame as early as the iPhone4 era, and then changed to a normal rounded center frame. Since the iPhone12 series, Apple has re-used the metal right Angle center frame for factors such as 5G signal antenna design. Thanks to the change in the shape of the middle frame of the Apple mobile phone, the change in processing demand for small CNC machine tools has increased, which has led to a large number of orders for small CNC machine tools from upstream foundry Foxconn. The industry has changed from overcapacity to short-term capacity shortage, and upstream suppliers have increased capacity to meet order demand.
In addition, Apple's requirement to replace part of the small CNC machine tool equipment every year has also brought a certain supply to the second-hand market. In the past two years, more and more domestic mobile phones, tablets and other devices have followed Apple to use the right Angle frame, bringing more processing needs, foundry for Apple products processing out of the second-hand small CNC machine tool equipment for domestic products, which can save costs, but also to meet the quality requirements of products, save production resources.
Industry challenges for small CNC machine tools
The long warranty time of imported brands (usually 36 months) provides a certain guarantee for the after-sales service of the products. Second-hand imported small CNC machine tool products have an impact on domestic small CNC machine tools to a certain extent, limiting the development of domestic machine tool enterprises in the field of small CNC machine tools.
With the aesthetic fatigue of consumers, changes in product strategy and cost considerations of downstream manufacturers, it is not ruled out that the future consumer electronics industry will re-change the frame shape to the traditional state or change to other materials, which will have an impact on the demand, supply, sales price and profits of small CNC machine tools, with many uncertainties.
The cyclical fluctuations of the industry require small CNC machine tool manufacturers to have a certain anti-risk ability and industry forecasting ability in order to respond to possible market changes in advance.
END
In the short term, the dividends brought by the consumer electronics industry to the small CNC machine tool industry will continue, and the dominant position of imported brands is temporarily difficult to shake. The diversification of material applications in consumer electronics may bring impact and change to the small CNC machine tool industry.
