Analysis of the operational status of machine tool industry in the first half of this year

Affected by the slowdown in China's economic growth, in the first half of 2013, China's machine tool industry continued its downward trend for the whole year of 2012. It is still in the downside, but the downward trend has narrowed significantly and its operation has gradually stabilized. As of the end of June this year, the production and sales volume of metal processing machine tools decreased by 10.5% year-on-year; the export of metal processing machine tools increased by 1.7%.

At the same time, new orders from enterprises continue to be in a downward trend. According to key monitoring enterprise data, in the first half of this year, new orders for metal processing machine tools reached 23.37 billion yuan, down 6.0% year-on-year. The contradiction of overcapacity has become increasingly prominent.

The Chinese machine tool market has undergone significant changes, and its outstanding features are manifested in two aspects, namely the significant reduction in total demand and the accelerated upgrading of the demand structure.

In the first half of the year, China's metal processing machine imports totaled US$5.26 billion, down 17% year-on-year, reflecting the sluggish demand for China's machine tool market. However, the number of high-end machine tools exported to China in the first half of Germany, Italy and the US However, it has maintained a large increase.

The global economic rebalancing and the slowdown in China's economic growth have had a comprehensive and profound impact on China's machine tool industry. After experiencing rapid growth for more than 10 years, due to the significant changes in the market environment and other growth factors, the industry is facing and undergoing a severe test of adjustment and transformation, and is in the transition period of development, and it is also the period of pain during adjustment and transformation. While developing environmental changes bring pressure and challenges to industrial development, it also provides the industry with the best opportunity to adjust and transform. The resulting mechanism will provide a strong external force for industrial restructuring.

Ball Cock

A ballcock (also balltap or float valve) is a mechanism or machine for filling water tanks, such as those found in flush toilets, while avoiding overflow and (in the event of low water pressure) backflow. The modern ballcock was invented by José Antonio de Alzate y Ramírez, a Mexican priest and scientist, who described the device in 1790 in the Gaceta de Literatura Méxicana.[1] It consists of a valve connected to a hollow sealed float by means of a lever, mounted near the top of the tank. The float is often ball-shaped, hence the name ballcock. The valve is connected to the incoming water supply, and is opened and closed by the lever which has the float mounted on the end. When the water level rises, the float rises with it; once it rises to a pre-set level, the mechanism forces the lever to close the valve and shut off the water flow. This is an example of negative feedback and of proportional control.
