How Do I Choose the Best Metalworking Lathe?

In the fierce competition in the world's machine tool market, what exactly should machine tool companies do to achieve victory and prosperity is a major problem currently facing. German Jedermei Company bought two loss-making companies in 1994-Decker and Maho. The three formed the DMG Group and produced three major types of machine tools: lathes, machining centers and laser processing machines. After 6 years of work, I have optimized the organization, deepened the users, cooperated extensively, developed new varieties, and occupied the market. There are 80 advanced varieties for users to choose from, and it has become the largest machine tool group in Europe. In 2001, the goal was to achieve sales of 880 million US dollars. Its strategy from weak to strong can be used as a reference for China's machine tool enterprises.

Reorganize reforms, optimize institutions, and emphasize effectiveness

As soon as the DMG Machine Tool Group was established, first of all, the Group changed its ideology and put forward a "supply chain management method". Research, development, production, supporting, and supply were linked. Pay attention to the overall effect of production and logistics, pursue the highest quality, cost, and supply (Quality, Cost, Delivry) efficiency, and solve the following major issues:

Extensive cooperation, strengthen scientific research, accelerate the development of new products, and occupy the vast market

90% of the three major categories of more than 80 products in the DMG Group were newly developed within two years. 10% of DMG Machine Tool Group immediately carried out product updates, exhibiting all advanced new products at the world's four major international machine tool exhibitions, which have improved the overall layout, structure, accuracy, efficiency and automation of machine tools. DMG Group cooperates extensively with universities and research institutes to strengthen scientific research and accelerate new product development. For example, it has cooperative relations with Ahern University, Karl Slaue University, Munich University, etc., to jointly research and develop laser processing machines, machine tools equipped with linear motors, new motion control systems, and advanced technologies and machine tools in the 21st century. In 1999, the research and development expenditure of the DMG Group was 19.8 million euros (approximately 16.92 million US dollars). In the production site, generally about 10% of the personnel are engaged in scientific research business.

DMG Group s investment in fixed assets in 2000 was 36.7 million euros (approximately $ 31.37 million), an increase of 26% over the previous year. The goal is to improve international competitiveness. For example, the data processing ED equipment and advanced three-dimensional CAD system were added. There were 126 CAD system workstations in the group.

The group holds new product exhibitions at its headquarters in March every year, and is held on schedule from March 20 to 24, 2001. A total of 35 new advanced machine tools, namely 21 lathe series, 13 MC (machining center), and laser 1 processing machine, 12 of which are newly developed products. Among them, there are vertical new lathes equipped with linear motors, such as the C TV250L in ear type, with a rapid feed of 100m / min in the X axis and 60m / min in the Z axis. The NC system used in the products of DMG Group is generally the products of Siem en s, Heidenhain, GE FAN UC. The linear motors used are Krau ss Maffei, FAN UC, and Etel. The products of the three companies are world famous brands.
