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

采石（shí）場（chǎng）機械在石（shí）材工（gōng）業的生產中，特別是在現代石材工業的生產中起著（zhe）非（fēi）常重要的作用。石（shí）材機械的使用水平和普及程（chéng）度是衡（héng）量一個國家石材工業水（shuǐ）平的最重要指標。也可以說（shuō），一個國家、一個地區、或者一個生產工藝階段是否已經進入（rù）了（le）石材的（de）工業化生產，是否已經是大型化、連續化生產，可以（yǐ）用機械的（de）普及程度和使用水（shuǐ）平來衡量。通常情況下，石材行業整（zhěng）個生產過程的機械化，才能稱得上是石材行業真正的工業化。從某種（zhǒng）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.
