Equipment manufacturing industry

What is the equipment manufacturing industry

The content of manufacturing is all-encompassing and very extensive. Various products used by people in clothing, food, housing, transportation, production equipment in various industries, military equipment, etc. are all produced by the manufacturing industry, including machinery, electronics, light industry, metallurgy, petrochemical, textile, medicine, food, military industry, etc. To a certain extent, manufacturing can be said to be the secondary industry. The core of manufacturing industry is equipment manufacturing, and the key to developing manufacturing industry is equipment manufacturing. What is the equipment manufacturing industry? There are different understandings and there is no universally recognized and consistent definition and scope. According to the function and importance of equipment, the equipment manufacturing industry mainly includes three aspects:

One is the significant advanced basic machinery, which is the equipment for manufacturing equipment - the "mother machine" mainly includes CNC machine tools (NC), flexible manufacturing units (FMCs), flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), computer integrated manufacturing systems (DIMS), industrial robots, large-scale integrated circuits, and electronic manufacturing equipment.

The second is important mechanical and electronic basic components, mainly advanced hydraulic, pneumatic, bearings, seals, molds, cutting tools, low-voltage electrical appliances, microelectronics and power electronic devices, instruments and automation control systems, etc.

The third is the major complete sets of technical equipment required for scientific, technological, and military production in various sectors of the national economy (including agriculture, energy, transportation, raw materials, medical and health, environmental protection, etc.), such as well mining and open-pit mining equipment for mineral resources, large-scale thermal power, hydropower, and nuclear power equipment, ultra-high voltage AC and DC transmission and transformation equipment, petrochemical, coal chemical, salt chemical equipment, and black and non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling equipment, Advanced transportation equipment such as civil aircraft, high-speed railways, subways, and urban rail cars, automobiles, ships, etc., large-scale environmental protection equipment such as sewage, garbage, and large-scale flue gas purification treatment, important complete sets of equipment required for large-scale projects such as river governance, tunnel excavation and shield tunneling, and large-scale water and gas transportation, advanced and applicable agricultural machinery and modern facilities, agricultural complete sets of equipment, large-scale scientific instruments and medical equipment, Advanced large-scale military equipment, communication, air traffic control, and aerospace equipment, advanced printing equipment, and so on.
