World Special Machine Tool Markets
Frost & Sullivan, April 2001
New Technologies Spur Growth of World Markets
The emergence of new high-performance special machine tools that cut,
shape polish, and drill metal work pieces more precisely will boost demand
from a variety of end-user industries. Advances in software technology and
automation will increase functionality of electrical discharge machine tools,
for example broadening the range of potential applications. As makers of
these and other tools develop technologies that raise the
price-performance ratio and reduce costs, special machine tools could
become a more common choice for manufacturing.
This report analyzes the world markets for laser machine electrical
discharge machine (EDM),electro-chemical machine (ECM),waterjet
machine and coordinate measuring machine tools. By highlighting drivers
and restraints and by providing expert forecasts for the North American,
European, Asian, and other markets, this report gives its users a
comprehensive guide to the future of the field.
Producing Affordable Systems Crucial for Industry Leaders
Despite the fact that these processes are better in quality and reliability
for cutting, welding, drilling, polishing, and forming applications, the high
initial investment may be a barrier for growth, writes the report 's author.
Many special machining processes are capital intensive compared to
conventional metal removing processes. The high costs of electro-chemical
machining equipment have limited their use in automotive and aerospace
applications, where cost-conscious companies prefer older technologies.
Special tools manufacturers must strive to make these systems affordable
and rugged to meet this challenge ,says the author. This report highlights
challenges that the industry participants will face and offers strategic
recommendations, enabling you to anticipate and overcome hurdles that
may lie ahead.
Environmental Compliance Must Remain High Priority
Workforce demands, increasing environmental awareness, government
regulations, and changing business practices are pushing the industry
towards change, says the author .Environmental agencies require
manufacturers to make electro-chemical and electric discharge machine
tool processes friendly to the environment.
Special tools manufacturers that effectively address environmental concerns
will see their revenues rise. This report tracks trends and identifies
end-user issues, helping your company meet market needs and
maximize gains.
