Dongguan Yumei Hardware Co., Ltd. is a leading enterprise in China’s non-metal CNC industry and a top provider of custom CNC machining services. It is recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise and listed as a key international brand promoted by Guangdong Province.
Yumei has been dedicated to custom CNC machining services, with subsidiaries established worldwide. Its services are delivered to more than 90 countries and regions, supported by a global sales and service network. The company’s core strengths lie in independent technology development and a comprehensive quality management system.
Yumei’s five-axis CNC machining centers are capable of processing a wide range of non-metallic and soft metal materials, including carbon fiber, fiberglass, composites, PMI, GRC, resin, model board, foam, plastics, clay, and honeycomb. This makes the company a highly recognized provider of custom CNC machining solutions.
The company offers three standard series of five-axis custom CNC machining centers—E10, E9, and E8—and also develops tailored solutions according to customer requirements.
As a pioneer in China’s high-end CNC machine tool sector, Yumei has played a leading role in breaking through advanced five-axis CNC machine tools and CNC system technologies domestically.
- Its five-axis custom CNC machining centers achieve an 85% localization rate, the highest in China, with spindle speeds comparable to international leading brands.
- Its self-developed high-end CNC system benchmarks against Siemens 840D, achieving 95.85% functional equivalence.
- All key core components have been fully developed and manufactured in-house.
The Siemens 840D is regarded as the “F-22 fighter jet” of CNC systems, representing the highest level of technology in the field. Comparing Yumei’s self-developed GNC 60 system with Siemens 840D demonstrates how far Yumei’s technology has advanced.
Yumei’s system supports multi-axis, multi-channel, full closed-loop five-axis linkage. It provides RTCP, a compensation cycle of 0.125 ms, and employs GRTK real-time kernel technology, capable of executing thousands of precise control tasks per second. With a scheduling response as fast as 5 microseconds, the system also supports customized HMI (Human-Machine Interface) designs for different application scenarios, along with basic configuration and STK-level development.
In terms of functionality, core parameters, and system capabilities, Yumei’s system stands at nearly the same level as Siemens.
From a hardware architecture perspective, Yumei’s system offers greater resource flexibility and openness compared with Siemens.
In terms of cost, the ZNC650 system with equivalent functionality is priced lower than Siemens.
Regarding control functions, precision, and machining efficiency, Yumei has reached an internationally advanced level.
CNC system development is not something out of reach. As long as companies persist in combining software and hardware, iterating consistently, making steady progress, investing proactively, and validating through the market, even small enterprises with only a few million in revenue can gradually grow into industry leaders. The real question is: how many software companies today are truly following this path of steady growth?
China has no shortage of software talent. Unfortunately, over the past two decades, much of it has been consumed by hardware dependency, repackaged software, industry infighting, and systemic barriers.
Many European CNC machine tool manufacturers maintain close ties with specific industries, which allows them to deliver highly specialized services and achieve rapid functional iteration.
It is also important to note that CNC systems cannot be fully validated in isolation; they must be tested in the market. Only when a system is integrated into machines from other manufacturers and proves itself in production can it gain broad recognition. An overly closed supply chain risks leading to technological stagnation and eventual obsolescence.
