The universal testing machine industry should have greater innovation

In the past 2012, the test machine market encountered a "cold surge" after experiencing two years of high growth. As industry insiders predicted at the beginning of 2012, the impact of the European debt crisis triggered a new round of economic downturn in Europe and the United States also affected the test equipment industries such as universal testing machines and tensile testing machines. The market turned to a downward trend, with the growth rate falling to 5.5%. The trend of market growth decline in 2012 can also be seen in the 2012 annual financial reports of instrument companies recently released.

The universal testing machine industry should have greater innovation

If the test machine equipment industry wants to achieve high-quality development and promote the improvement of independent innovation capabilities of instruments and equipment such as hydraulic universal testing machines, it is necessary to focus on digesting, absorbing and re-innovating instruments and equipment in the existing mechanical analysis industry, and develop a batch of scientific instruments and equipment with independent intellectual property rights to improve the comprehensive use efficiency of scientific instruments and equipment.

With the continuous expansion of market demand, instruments and instruments have also developed rapidly. However, due to technology and innovation, there is still a huge gap between the domestic temperature aging laboratory industry and foreign countries. Key core technologies are repetitive at low levels, and the stability and reliability of products cannot be fundamentally solved. There is still a serious dependence on imported products on high-end precision instruments, and a large amount of imports have had an adverse impact on industrial development. In order to obtain a fundamental solution in terms of technology, the Chinese government has increased its investment in the research and development of scientific instruments and equipment, established special funds for scientific instruments, and focused on supporting the development of original scientific research instruments and equipment and the development and application of major scientific instruments and equipment products with certain application prospects.

The focus of the future development of the instrument industry is on the major cutting-edge scientific needs of the country, and research on new principles, new technologies and new methods is carried out. Strive to achieve major breakthroughs and leaps in cutting-edge scientific instruments and equipment. We must also strengthen integrated innovation, and focus on the development of instruments and equipment with industrial competitiveness among cutting-edge major scientific instruments and equipment, general instruments and equipment, and at the same time strengthen the development and application of core key components and supporting systems of scientific instruments and equipment.
