在新(xin)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)源(yuan)的(de)(de)發展(zhan)過程中(zhong)，風(feng)(feng)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)作(zuo)為一(yi)種(zhong)清(qing)潔的(de)(de)可再生能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)源(yuan)，越來越受到世(shi)界各(ge)國(guo)(guo)的(de)(de)重(zhong)(zhong)視。歐洲各(ge)國(guo)(guo)、美國(guo)(guo)、中(zhong)國(guo)(guo)等(deng)都在本國(guo)(guo)的(de)(de)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)源(yuan)規劃(hua)中(zhong)給予(yu)大力的(de)(de)支持和(he)推進。世(shi)界風(feng)(feng)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)協會(hui)（WWEA）主席Dr.AnilKnae曾表示，“風(feng)(feng)電(dian)(dian)(dian)，是世(shi)界能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)源(yuan)體(ti)系改(gai)革的(de)(de)機車(che)頭。”風(feng)(feng)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)的(de)(de)利用一(yi)直(zhi)是人(ren)類的(de)(de)夢想，作(zuo)為一(yi)項環保、綠色、可再生的(de)(de)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)源(yuan)產(chan)(chan)業，在當(dang)今世(shi)界傳統能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)源(yuan)面臨(lin)枯竭(jie)、環境(jing)問題(ti)日益嚴峻的(de)(de)大背景下，受到了極大的(de)(de)重(zhong)(zhong)視。風(feng)(feng)電(dian)(dian)(dian)產(chan)(chan)業的(de)(de)快速發展(zhan)，促(cu)使風(feng)(feng)電(dian)(dian)(dian)機組部件加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)所需的(de)(de)精密、高效的(de)(de)數控(kong)機床(chuang)和(he)高端刀具的(de)(de)需求(qiu)也(ye)大量(liang)增長。風(feng)(feng)電(dian)(dian)(dian)，為機床(chuang)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)具產(chan)(chan)業的(de)(de)進一(yi)步發展(zhan)提供了“新(xin)的(de)(de)能(neng)(neng)(neng)(neng)源(yuan)”。風(feng)(feng)電(dian)(dian)(dian)設(she)備對(dui)于機床(chuang)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)具及工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝來講，可以稱(cheng)得上(shang)“苛刻”。風(feng)(feng)電(dian)(dian)(dian)設(she)備變速箱體(ti)屬于大型(xing)(xing)箱體(ti)，結(jie)(jie)構(gou)復(fu)雜(za)，各(ge)種(zhong)部件的(de)(de)制造需要不同(tong)機床(chuang)設(she)備進行加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)。兆瓦級(ji)風(feng)(feng)電(dian)(dian)(dian)設(she)備變速箱根據發電(dian)(dian)(dian)量(liang)的(de)(de)不同(tong)，直(zhi)徑(jing)在2～3米不等(deng)，大部分為分體(ti)結(jie)(jie)構(gou)，加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)時(shi)需要用到鏜桿直(zhi)徑(jing)約16～250毫米的(de)(de)數控(kong)落(luo)地銑鏜床(chuang)、大型(xing)(xing)臥式加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)中(zhong)心(xin)和(he)龍門加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)中(zhong)心(xin)等(deng)，加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)精度要求(qiu)比較(jiao)高。
大(da)規格、大(da)模數齒輪和齒圈(quan)需要(yao)(yao)采(cai)用(yong)數控成型(xing)銑齒機(ji)和數控成型(xing)磨齒機(ji)進行加(jia)工。大(da)型(xing)葉片的(de)加(jia)工，需要(yao)(yao)數控銑床(chuang)，此類(lei)機(ji)床(chuang)屬于大(da)規格輕型(xing)非金(jin)屬五(wu)軸加(jia)工機(ji)床(chuang)，盡管(guan)加(jia)工精度要(yao)(yao)求(qiu)(qiu)不高(gao)(gao)，功(gong)率(lv)和扭矩(ju)也小，但(dan)對(dui)機(ji)床(chuang)切削速(su)度的(de)要(yao)(yao)求(qiu)(qiu)卻很高(gao)(gao)，切削速(su)度在30米/分(fen)以(yi)上。主軸、風輪和塔(ta)(ta)架(jia)均為大(da)型(xing)構件(jian)，加(jia)工難度大(da)，精度的(de)要(yao)(yao)求(qiu)(qiu)也高(gao)(gao)，需要(yao)(yao)專門(men)設計專用(yong)的(de)加(jia)工設備(bei)，且兼具高(gao)(gao)速(su)、高(gao)(gao)效(xiao)、智(zhi)能(neng)(neng)(neng)化(hua)、柔性化(hua)、CAD/CAM自動(dong)轉換(huan)、自動(dong)檢(jian)測(ce)、誤差(cha)補(bu)償和故(gu)障自動(dong)診(zhen)斷等多項先進功(gong)能(neng)(neng)(neng)。對(dui)于刀(dao)具來說，風電(dian)設備(bei)的(de)加(jia)工不僅要(yao)(yao)求(qiu)(qiu)高(gao)(gao)速(su)的(de)切削速(su)度，更要(yao)(yao)有精確的(de)加(jia)工效(xiao)果(guo)。例如加(jia)工風能(neng)(neng)(neng)塔(ta)(ta)架(jia)時，不僅要(yao)(yao)有高(gao)(gao)質量的(de)焊接倒角，又要(yao)(yao)能(neng)(neng)(neng)完好地鏈(lian)接。風電(dian)巨大(da)的(de)鑄鐵輪轂，如果(guo)使(shi)用(yong)傳(chuan)統刀(dao)具進行加(jia)工，將消(xiao)耗超過20個(ge)小時的(de)加(jia)工時間。諸如復合(he)材(cai)料、球墨(mo)鑄鐵等新(xin)材(cai)料廣泛應用(yong)于風電(dian)設備(bei)，又對(dui)刀(dao)具的(de)加(jia)工效(xiao)率(lv)和精度提出了更高(gao)(gao)的(de)要(yao)(yao)求(qiu)(qiu)。
