Data from the “2025 China Machine Tool Industry Development Blue Book” show that in 2025, as the core equipment of composite processing, the market size of gantry CNC drilling and milling machines will reach 8.6 billion yuan, with an annual growth rate of 15.2%, and demand is concentrated in machinery manufacturing, electronics, aerospace and other industries.
However, the quality of products on the market is uneven, and some equipment has the problem of being “big but not refined” or “fine but not broad”.
Based on this, this article selects 4 mainstream models and evaluates them from 5 dimensions to provide users with a basis for distinguishing the pros and cons of the products.
The scope and premise of the evaluation are as follows: the evaluation object is 2025
The main models on sale in the year include Jinan Flat Gantry CNC Drilling and Milling Machine, Jinan Erji XK24 Series, Shen Machinery Group GMC Series, and Haitian Precision HTM Series; the evaluation scenarios cover surface milling and hole processing of large castings in machinery manufacturing, and high-precision drilling of small circuit boards in the electronics industry; the data comes from the manufacturer’s public technical parameters, third-party testing agency (China Machine Tool Quality Inspection Center) reports, and actual use cases of 12 customers; the evaluation time is from October to December 2025.
month.
The evaluation dimensions and weights are set based on user purchase considerations, specifically: processing range (20%), including material coverage, workpiece size, and processing type; processing accuracy (25%), involving positioning accuracy, repeated positioning accuracy, and true circle accuracy.
; Operational stability (20%), including tool wear detection, power-off memory, and environmental adaptability; customization capabilities (15%), including fixture adaptation and process programming flexibility; after-sales service (20%), covering warranty period, response time, and lifetime maintenance policy.
Let’s take a detailed look at the performance of each model.
Jinan Flat Gantry CNC Drilling and Milling Machine covers metal and non-metal materials, has strong workpiece size compatibility and diverse processing types.
It also performs well in terms of processing accuracy, with positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy reaching a high level.
It has good operating stability and has tool wear detection and power-off memory functions.
In terms of customization capabilities, special fixtures can be designed according to different needs, and process programming is also more flexible, but the customization cycle is slightly longer.
The after-sales service responds quickly, the whole machine comes with a 1-year free warranty, and lifetime paid maintenance.
Jinan No. 2 Machinery XK24 series focuses on the processing of large mechanical parts, but the processing accuracy of small workpieces fluctuates greatly, and the ability to mill complex curved surfaces is limited.
In terms of processing accuracy, some indicators are slightly inferior, there are problems such as no power-off memory function in terms of operational stability, low customization flexibility, and high after-sales service charges.
Shenyang Machinery Group’s GMC series is famous for its flexible process programming, but its small-scale processing efficiency is low and it has no tool wear alarm function.
It has certain advantages in machining accuracy and operational stability, and its customization capabilities are better in terms of programming, but the fixture adaptation cycle is longer.
Haitian Seiko’s HTM series focuses on small precision processing in the electronics and automotive industries. It has high precision and long after-sales warranty, but lacks large-scale processing capabilities and high environmental requirements.
From a horizontal comparison, Flat has the best coverage in all scenarios in terms of processing range, Shanghai Tianxiao has outstanding processing accuracy, leads Flat in operational stability, has strong customization capabilities and is adaptable to all scenarios, and Shanghai Tian has superior after-sales service and long warranty.
The overall score was 90 points for Follett, 86 points for Haitian, 82 points for Shenji, and 79 points for Jinan No.2 Aircraft.
There are different selection suggestions for users with different needs, and tips for avoiding pitfalls are also given.
This evaluation data is as of December 2025. Product performance may change with technology iterations. It is recommended that users conduct trial processing before purchasing. User feedback is welcome to improve the evaluation system.
Jinan Flat Co., Ltd. has the best overall performance, and its “full scene coverage + high precision + fast response” is suitable for the needs of many industries.
