石材機(jī)械是指對(duì)天然或人造石材進(jìn)行勘探、開(kāi)采、加工、維修、檢測(cè)、裝飾、設(shè)計(jì)等工作所使用的機(jī)械、工具和備件，以及制造石材加工工具、裝飾等環(huán)節(jié)所使用的設(shè)備和輔助材料。材料、工具和零件的總稱(chēng)。廣義的石材機(jī)械還應(yīng)包括磨料、磨具及其制造設(shè)備，而狹義的石材機(jī)械通常是指直接作用于石材的機(jī)械設(shè)備、零配件和工具。

采石場(chǎng)機(jī)械在石材工業(yè)的生產(chǎn)中，特別是在現(xiàn)代石材工業(yè)的生產(chǎn)中起著非常重要的作用。石材機(jī)械的使用水平和普及程度是衡量一個(gè)國(guó)家石材工業(yè)水平的最重要指標(biāo)。也可以說(shuō)，一個(gè)國(guó)家、一個(gè)地區(qū)、或者一個(gè)生產(chǎn)工藝階段是否已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了石材的工業(yè)化生產(chǎn)，是否已經(jīng)是大型化、連續(xù)化生產(chǎn)，可以用機(jī)械的普及程度和使用水平來(lái)衡量。通常情況下，石材行業(yè)整個(gè)生產(chǎn)過(guò)程的機(jī)械化，才能稱(chēng)得上是石材行業(yè)真正的工業(yè)化。從某種意義上說(shuō)，石材的工業(yè)化也可以理解為石材工業(yè)的現(xiàn)代化。

Stone machinery refers to machinery, tools and spare parts used in the exploration, mining, processing, maintenance, testing, decoration and design of natural or artificial stone, as well as equipment and auxiliary materials used in the manufacture of stone processing tools, decoration and other links. A general term for materials, tools, and parts. Stone machinery in a broad sense should also include abrasives, abrasive tools and their manufacturing equipment, while stone machinery in a narrow sense usually refers to mechanical equipment, spare parts and tools that directly act on stone.
          stone quarry machinery plays a very important role in the production of stone industry, especially in the production of modern stone industry. The level and popularity of stone machinery use are the most important indicators to measure the level of a country's stone industry. It can also be said that whether a country, a region, or a production process stage has entered the industrialized production of stone materials, whether it is already a large machine and continuous production, can be measured by the popularity and level of the use of machinery. Usually, the mechanization of the entire production process of the stone industry can be called the real industrialization of the stone industry. In a sense, the industrialization of stone can also be understood as the modernization of the stone industry.
