The technological history of machine tool was looked back in this report. Early domestic machine tools were developed to follow the technological leading overseas machine tools. If in need, some machine tools were developed in technical partnerships with foreign companies. High-performance machine tools manufactured excellent parts as a mother machines and, often boosted their national power. In particular, some technologies, such as the appearance of NC machine tools, the incorporation of machining compensation functions on machines and the adoption of high-performance element parts, were innovative in improving machining accuracy and productivity. Machine tools would be continuing to improve their performance by incorporating technological innovations such as material technology, artificial intelligence and Internet of things, and support the industry.
