As a well-established machine tool manufacturing country, Japan not only has globally renowned machine tool manufacturing enterprises, but also world-class machine tool technology. The Japan Machine Tool Exhibition has always been renowned for its stunning technology displays. So what surprises will JIMTOF, with the slogan of "Connecting the Tree of Future Technology," bring to the world audience this year?
Technology changes life, 'connections' are everywhere
The most memorable aspect of the JIMTOF2018 press conference is the "connection". As the slogan of this JIMTOF event, 'CONNECT by technology for the future' is undoubtedly the focus.
“衔接前沿技术与观众”。JIMTOF作为率先展示最新技术和产品的盛会，每次都有8成的展商发布新品。
Connecting the audience and exhibitors. One of the purposes of exhibitors is to attract more potential customers, while visitors hope to have more exposure to the products they care about.
Connecting technology experience with audience. This year's JIMTOF focuses on "firsthand experience" and is committed to allowing the audience to "immerse themselves" in the charm of the manufacturing industry and the magic of cutting-edge machine tool technology.
Connecting Japan with the world. As an international machine tool exhibition, JIMTOF stands out in terms of the number of exhibitors, participating countries, and exhibition scale. The scale of this JIMTOF exhibition is expected to reach 100000 square meters, with nearly a thousand machine tool companies participating, including nearly 30% of foreign companies. In addition, it is expected that more Chinese machine tool companies and audiences will participate in this JIMTOF event.
海外参展商
“衔接学生与未来”。学生是技术发展的希望。为了让参加JIMTOF的学生充分理解制造业的魅力，成长为肩负行业未来的人才，展会上将实施加深他们对行业关注和理解的企划。
“衔接舒适空间与人类”。JIMTOF作为行业内闻名的机床大展，每届都吸引了众多展商与观众参与。本届JIMTOF将致力于为前来参展的业内人士打造一个舒适的空间。据了解，本届JIMTOF将进一步扩大休息区和餐饮区，并向观众提供多语言服务，除此之外还将制作移动终端等应用程序，打造让参展者觉得舒适的会场环境。
展示惊艳的技术“以技术连接未来”，对于JIMTOF，最惊艳的莫过于对具有高端技术的机床产品的展示以及对未来技术发展趋势的透析。据了解，在本届JIMTOF上将有近千家的机床企业参与，而展出的新产品将达到80%！而这些新产品中蕴含的技术都有可能成为未来机床发展的趋势。
JIMTOF海外观众的分布
在2016年的JIMTOF上，IoT和智能工厂的相关的展示令人记忆犹新。两年过去，IoT和智能工厂等相关技术正在逐渐渗透到机床生产中，成为机床发展的新趋势。JIMTOF正成为机床行业发展趋势的预测者，而打出“在全球率先开始展示前沿技术”口号的JIMTOF2018又将带来怎样的技术革新，实在令人期待。
JIMTOF与中国
对于中国的展商和观众来说，可能最关心的是JIMTOF与中国之间的联系。JIMTOF与中国的联系是非常紧密的，我们参与JIMTOF，可以从行业、企业和个人三方面来说。
从行业角度来说，日本一直我国机床进口的重要合作伙伴。日本不仅是世界闻名的机床制造大国，拥有顶尖的工艺和制造技术，而且还有与我国一衣带水的天然地理优势。无论从技术、成本还是运输上来讲，日本都是我们优质的合作伙伴。事实上，日本机床在我国企业中应用也比较广，马扎克、大隈、三菱、发那科……都是深受中国机床企业喜爱和认可的品牌。
从企业角度来说，展会是重要的机床采购和交流平台。因为展会不仅积聚了大批机床生产企业，还有大量同类产品可供对比。有采购意向的企业参与展会，无疑可以在最短的时间看最多的机床。
从个人角度来说，展会是机床技术最激烈的碰撞之处，也是参观学习绝佳场所之一。展会上不仅有丰富的机床产品展示，还汇集了行业内众多前端技术。日本作为机床先进技术的拥有者，拥有大量具有口碑和品牌的优秀机床企业。在JIMTOF上，这些机床企业将同台竞艺，为参观者带来一场机床饕餮盛宴。从个人角度出发，无论是出于开拓眼界的目的，还是出于学习、交流、采购的目的，JIMTOF都是不能错过的机床展会。
“我们邀请您体验JIMTOF，因为它面向未来”，这是写在JIMTOF宣传册上的一句话。尖端的技术就像是一把可以打开未来的钥匙，而日本JIMTOF凭借过硬的技术沉淀，将向观众展示机床技术的未来与可能。
