石材機（jī）械是指對天（tiān）然或人造石（shí）材進行勘探、開采、加工、維修、檢測、裝飾、設計等工作所使（shǐ）用的（de）機械、工具和備（bèi）件，以及製造石材加工（gōng）工具、裝飾等環節所使用的設備和輔助材料。材料（liào）、工具和零件的總稱。廣義的石材機械還應（yīng）包括磨料、磨具及其製造設備，而狹義的石材機械通常是指直接作用於石（shí）材的機械設（shè）備、零配件和工具。

采石（shí）場機械在石材工業的生產中，特別是（shì）在現代石材工業的生產中起著非常重要的作（zuò）用。石材機械的使用水平和普及程度是衡量一個國家石材工業水平的最重（chóng）要指標。也可以（yǐ）說（shuō），一個國家、一個地區、或者一個生產工（gōng）藝階段（duàn）是否已經進入了石材的工業化生產，是否已經是大型化、連續（xù）化生產，可（kě）以用（yòng）機械的普及程度和（hé）使用水平來衡量。通常情況下，石材行業整個生產過程的機械化，才能稱得上是石材行業（yè）真正的工業化。從（cóng）某種意義上說，石材的工業化也可以理解為石材工業的現代化。

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.
