Dalian toolmakers upgrade technology
By Lian Xin (China Daily)Updated: 2006-12-29 10:52 DALIAN: For years machine tool manufacturers in this port city of Northeast China's Liaoning Province have struggled to keep pace with the world's computer-numerical controlled (CNC) machine tool industry.
But now, at Dalian Guangyang Science & Technology Engineering Co Ltd, research and development engineers are testing their homegrown computer-controlled machine tools, Yu Dehai, general manager of the company, told China Daily.
Yu said they are testing their inventions with experts from the China Machine Tool & Tool Builders Association.
"When we put our results into production, we will end our country's reliance on imported high-grade machine tools," Yu said.
Guangyang started producing the CNC system five years ago and became a machine tool provider for partners in United Kingdom, Germany and Japan.
Yu set up an R&D centre with 110 engineers focusing on the CNC system and hardware manufacturing technologies.
Guangyang's first-generation products narrowed the gap between it and foreign producers of CNC machine tool technology, Yu said.
Meanwhile, a multi-tasking machine tool has been put into operation at the
Dalian Machine Tool Group (DMTG), the country's top machine tool manufacturer.
