According to a report, analysts forecast the global machine tool market to grow at a rate of 6.33% over the period 2013-2018.
A machine tool is a machine for shaping or machining metal or other rigid materials, usually by cutting, boring, grinding, shearing, or other forms of deformation. Machine tools employ some sort of tool that does the cutting or shaping. All machine tools have some means of constraining the work piece and provide a guided movement of the parts of the machine. Thus the relative movement between the work piece and the cutting tool (which is called the tool path) is controlled or constrained by the machine to at least some extent, rather than being entirely “offhand” or “freehand”.
According to a report, analysts forecast the global machine tool market to grow at a rate of 6.33% over the period 2013-2018. The machine tools market in the US is forecast to grow at a rate of 2.32% over the period 2013-2018.
The Global Machine Tool Market 2014-2018 research report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global industry for the period 2014-2018. In terms of product, the market can be segmented into three: Metal Cutting Machine Tool, Metal Forming Machine Tool, and Machine Tool Accessories. Machine tools, such as metal cutting tools, metal forming tools, and machine tools accessories, are used to cut and shape metals and other materials during the manufacturing of a product based on its specifications. These tools provide an effective and efficient method of manufacturing critical components with the utmost ease and accuracy. Machine tools are used extensively by companies across several sectors such as Automotive, General Machinery, Precision Engineering, Transport, Aerospace, and Dies and Mould.
The report Machine Tools Market in the US 2014-2018 says one of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in private non-residential fixed investment. The Machine Tools market in the US has also been witnessing the increase in technological advancement in machine tools. However, the increasing use of plastic products across industries could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. This research has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report focuses on the US; it also covers the Machine Tools market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
The Machine Tools Markets in China 2014 research report says China’s demand for machine tools has grown at a fast pace in the past decade. In the next five years, both production and demand will continue to grow. This new study examines China’s economic trends, investment environment, industry development, supply and demand, industry capacity, industry structure, marketing channels and major industry participants.
Coming to servo systems, they can be used in CNC machining, factory automation, and robotics, among other uses. Their main advantage over traditional DC or AC motors is the addition of motor feedback. This feedback can be used to detect unwanted motion, or to ensure the accuracy of the commanded motion. The feedback is generally provided by an encoder of some sort. Servos, in constant speed changing use, have a better life cycle than typical AC wound motors. Servo motors can also act as a brake by shunting off generated electricity from the motor itself.
A machine tool, also known as a “machine centre”, is used to cut and fabricate precision metal components for machinery. Its main applications are in industries such as automotive, aircraft, aerospace, military, machinery, moulding, electronics, and power stations. Machine tools, also called “mother machines” for giving birth to new mechanical products, are used for manufacturing the metal components of various mechanical devices and equipment. Machine tools are divided into three types: manual metal-cutting, numerical control (NC) and computerized numerical control (CNC).
