What are the employment prospects of graduates majoring in numerical control technology?

Employment status of numerical control technology

After China's entry into WTO, with the rapid economic development, China has gradually become the "world manufacturing center", and numerical control technology has become one of the important indicators to measure the manufacturing technology level and economic strength of a country or enterprise. At present, the numerical control rate of machine tools in China is only 1.9%, while it is as high as 30% in Japan and over 40% in the United States. CNC machine tools have been widely used in developed countries, but there is a big gap between China and developed countries in the application and promotion of CNC technology. China will need 600,000-800,000 CNC professionals in a few years.

Employment direction of numerical control technology

Engaged in production management, mechanical product design, CNC programming and processing operations, CNC equipment installation, debugging and operation, CNC equipment fault diagnosis and maintenance, transformation and after-sales service.

Training of employees in numerical control technology;

1, blue-collar layer: CNC operator, proficient in mechanical processing and CNC machining process knowledge, master the operation and manual programming of CNC machine tools, and understand the automatic programming and simple maintenance of CNC machine tools. There is a great market demand for this kind of personnel, who are suitable to be CNC machine tool operators in the workshop, but because of their simple knowledge, their salary will not be very high.

2. Gray collar layer:

1. NC programmer: Master the knowledge of NC machining process and the operation of NC machine tools, be familiar with the professional knowledge of complex mold design and manufacturing, and master 3D CAD/CAM software, such as UG, PRO/E, etc. Familiar with CNC automatic programming and manual programming technology. This kind of personnel is in great demand, especially in the mold industry, and the treatment is also very high.

Secondly, the maintenance personnel of CNC machine tools: master the mechanical structure and electromechanical debugging of CNC machine tools, master the operation and programming of CNC machine tools, and be familiar with the characteristics of various CNC systems, software and hardware structures, PLC and parameter settings. Proficient in electromechanical debugging and maintenance of CNC machine tools. The demand for such personnel is relatively small, but it is very difficult to train such personnel, which requires a lot of practical experience accumulation. At present, it is very scarce and the treatment is high.

3. Gold collar layer: it belongs to the NC generalist, has and is proficient in the comprehensive knowledge needed by NC operation technicians, NC programmers and NC maintenance personnel, and has accumulated a lot of practical experience and a wide range of knowledge in practical work. Proficient in the mechanical structure design of CNC machine tools and the electrical design of CNC system, and master the electromechanical alignment of CNC machine tools. Can complete the selection of CNC system, the design, installation, debugging and maintenance of electrical system of CNC machine tools. Can independently complete the numerical control transformation of machine tools. He is a sought-after talent in the enterprise and is well paid.

Employment prospect of numerical control technology

With the application of new technology in China's machinery industry, China's position as a world manufacturing center has been formed, and there is a shortage of CNC machine tool use, maintenance and maintenance personnel in industrial cities all over the country. In addition, CNC technicians have a wide range of work, and can engage in computer drawing, CNC programming design, machining center operation, mold design and manufacturing, EDM, wire cutting and other work in modern manufacturing industries, such as molds, watches, hardware industries, small and medium-sized manufacturing industries and corresponding companies and enterprises. Therefore, the existing numerical control technical talents can't meet the demand of manufacturing industry, and the reserve of such talents in the talent market is not large, which leads to mold design, CAD/CAM engineer, numerical control programming and numerical control machining becoming one of the positions with the highest recruitment frequency in China's talent market. The employment prospects are optimistic.

In order to improve competitiveness, manufacturing enterprises have begun to widely use advanced numerical control technology. According to statistics, the number of CNC machine tool operators in China is about 600,000. The shortage of CNC professionals has attracted great attention from the central leadership, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and other government departments. With the further promotion of manufacturing information engineering, the use of high-tech and advanced applicable technologies to transform and upgrade traditional industries, improve the level of technical equipment and product competitiveness of enterprises, and the large-scale numerical control of manufacturing equipment, the demand for numerical control technicians in society has further increased.
