The 14th China CNC Machine Tool Show wrapped up successfully after five days on April 25. Statistics show the event drew over 2,000 exhibitors from 27 countries and regions worldwide, with professional visitor numbers surging 22.69% year-on-year.
JINLING brought two core models to the show. The HGC650D five-axis linkage machining center stood out with designs aligned with the industry’s shift toward high-end, intelligent upgrading, becoming a major draw for buyers seeking domestically controllable equipment and sparking extensive in-depth consultations. The second-generation CKD6183D-1500 CNC lathe earned wide recognition from small-and medium-batch precision manufacturers thanks to its superior repeat positioning accuracy and stable heavy-duty cutting performance.
Exhibition Achievements
Visitors flocked to JINLING’s booth throughout the five-day show. Clients from three core sectors — new energy auto parts, aerospace and precision molds — accounted for over 60% of all attendees. Many came with actual machining requirements to discuss customized solutions. Nearly ten enterprises reached preliminary cooperation intentions, agreeing to conduct factory tours, sample testing and further negotiations later.
Since acquiring Germany’s Hermann in 2015, JINLING has fully absorbed advanced technologies and design concepts from German precision manufacturing, successfully launching the high-end Hermann Precision Machinery series and completing its international brand transformation. At CCMT2026, the five-axis linkage machining center drew huge interest from overseas professional buyers, who made up nearly 30% of all inquirers.
In addition, Mr. Zhu Genghong, Chairman of Hunan Machine Tool & Tool Industry Association, visited JINLING’s booth for exchanges and fully recognized JINLING’s achievements in independent R&D.
Industry Insights
Through extensive on-site exchanges during the exhibition, we have clearly identified three major trends reshaping the machine tool industry:
1. A shift from standalone automated machines to full-process intelligent manufacturing
2. A transition from import reliance to independent and controllable domestic production
3. An upgrade from general-purpose machine models to specialized equipment and customized solutions
Against these evolving industry trends, JINLING has long completed its strategic layout:
Technological Autonomy with Further Deepening: We continue to intensify R&D in five-axis simultaneous machining centers, having successively launched multiple product series such as HGC and HUC. Meanwhile, we keep iterating and upgrading in precision lapping and polishing, actively meeting the stringent requirements of high-end manufacturing for "one-clamping, full-sequence machining" of complex parts.
Rapid Response to Customer Process Needs: Leveraging JINLING’s seven-decade technological heritage, our engineering team continuously consolidates know-how to quickly determine efficient and flexible machining solutions based on customers' specific part drawings and production capacity plans, thereby reducing customers’ selection costs and trial-and-error expenses.
Restart of Plain Lathe Production: In response to the long-term stable performance of JINLING plain lathes, highly recognized by a host of longstanding customers, as well as the sustained and solid demand from numerous SMEs, maintenance and repair sectors, and teaching/training fields, JINLING has officially resumed production of ordinary lathes. With mature and reliable processes, fast delivery, and highly competitive cost-effectiveness, we actively respond to real market needs.
A Successful Conclusion, Gearing Up for a New Start
The hustle and bustle of the exhibition has come to a close. Thank you to every industry colleague who stopped by, inquired, and engaged in insightful discussions with us!
JINLING will continue to uphold its mission of “Craftsmanship with Intelligence, Building World-Class Machine Tools” – and, grounded in independent and self-controllable technological breakthroughs, and connected by scenario-based solutions that closely address user needs, we will join hands with more customers to embark on a new journey in intelligent manufacturing.
