The author recently learned from the National Green Manufacturing Technology Standardization Technical Committee Secretariat that the first national standard in the field of machine tool remanufacturing, “Technical Guidelines for Remanufacturing of Green Manufacturing Metal Cutting Machine Tools,” has been approved and is expected to formally “work” in the near future.

“The standard is a basic standard, and its core content is to make detailed regulations on the process for the production of remanufactured machine tools. At the same time, it focuses on the requirements of some of the core indicators, and it can provide good guidance for companies engaged in the remanufacturing of machine tools. The main drafter of the standard, Cao Huajun, vice chairman of China Electromechanical Equipment Manufacturing Repair and Transformation Technology Association and director of the Green Manufacturing Technology Research Institute of Chongqing University, said in an interview with this reporter.

It is understood that the remanufacturing of machine tools in developed countries in Europe and America has become an important part of the remanufacturing industry. There are more than 300 companies specializing in the remanufacturing of machine tools in the United States, and these remanufacturing companies also target large multi-functional machines, gear processing machines, and metal cutting. Different machine tools such as machine tools have been professionally classified. Germany, Japan, etc. have also extensively carried out the remanufacturing of machine tools.

In China, there are two major categories of companies currently engaged in the remanufacturing of machine tools. One is itself an enterprise engaged in the manufacture of machine tools. It re-adds remanufacturing production lines or establishes business units to remanufacture machine tools; the other is not itself A company engaged in the manufacture of machine tools but keen on the remanufacturing of machine tools. Most of the former prefer to remanufacture the type of machine tool manufactured by the company itself. The latter's remanufacturing covers most types of machine tools.

The industry believes that with the gradual improvement of the machine tool remanufacturing standard system, the whole society will gradually improve the quality of remanufactured machine tool products. Under the support of relevant national industrial policies, China's machine tool remanufacturing industry has much to offer. If we can grasp the post-market of machine tool remanufacturing, it will inevitably inject new vitality for the development of the machine tool industry.
