Aerospace products can be categorized into main structures, engines, airborne equipment or components, etc. Most of the components need to undergo a cutting process. Numerical control machining technology and numerical control processing equipment have become aerospace products. One of the main needs. The mainframe structure of the aircraft includes the manufacture of large-scale integral panels for the nose, fuselage, wings, and empennage, multi-coordinate, high-speed, high-rigidity, and high-power CNC gantry milling machines, vertical machining centers, and special high-speed honeycomb milling machines and long edges. The demand for large-sized CNC machining equipment such as strip mills is mainly used for the numerical control of complex structures such as beams, ribs, and joints of aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, composite materials, and other high-strength alloy steels.

There are many types of aeroengines and the processing methods are similar. The required equipment is mainly high-precision CNC machine tools, CNC vertical lathes and vertical turning centers, CNC boring and milling machines, highly efficient special-purpose blade machining centers, jaw-type gear grinding machines, and digital control electric sparks. The demand for processing machine tools, etc., is large, and it is mainly used for machining of structural parts such as the overall casing, integral impeller and blade disks, and various complex surface blades. Airborne equipment has many types of key components, small size, complex structure, high precision, precision CNC boring and milling machines and machining centers, precision CNC lathes and turning centers, precision CNC universal cylindrical grinders, CNC EDM machines, and wire-cutting machine tools, etc. CNC equipment has great demands to meet the precision and ultra-precision machining requirements of various housings, valve bodies, and hydraulic couplings. The materials required for aircraft landing gear are rather special, and the use of high-strength titanium alloys and other materials for the brackets makes the processing difficult. The blanks need 10,000 tons of press forging, and the machining requires CNC floor milling and boring machines, gantry five-axis linkage machining centers and other equipment.

China's aviation industry is rising. Apart from the military aircraft series, considerable progress has been made. The striking C919 large passenger aircraft has signed 100 start-up orders and will make its first flight in 2014. At the test flight certification stage ARJ21 new regional passenger aircraft, the cumulative number of orders obtained reached 340, and other such as helicopters, general aircraft development capabilities have also been significantly enhanced. From this perspective, the aerospace industry will have new demands for CNC machine tools, especially high-speed CNC machines with high-speed, high-efficiency, high-precision, and multi-axis linkage.

The “12th Five-year Plan” of high-end equipment manufacturing industry proposes that by 2020, the proportion of high-end equipment manufacturing sales revenue in equipment manufacturing industry will increase to 25%, and the high-end equipment manufacturing industry will be nurtured as a pillar industry of the national economy.
