石材機械是指對天然或人造石材進行勘（kān）探、開采、加工、維修、檢測（cè）、裝飾、設計等工作所（suǒ）使用（yòng）的機械、工具和備件，以（yǐ）及製造石材加工工（gōng）具、裝飾等（děng）環節所使用的設（shè）備（bèi）和輔助材料。材料、工具和零件的總稱。廣義的石（shí）材機械（xiè）還應包括磨料、磨具及其製造設備，而狹義的石材機械通常是指直接作用（yòng）於石材的（de）機械設備、零配件和工具（jù）。

采石場（chǎng）機械在石材工業的生產中（zhōng），特別是在現代石材工業的生產中起著非（fēi）常（cháng）重要的作用。石材機械的使用水平和普及程度是衡量一個（gè）國家石材工業水平的最重要指標。也可以說（shuō），一個國家、一個地區、或者（zhě）一個生產工藝階段是否已（yǐ）經進入了石材（cái）的工業化生（shēng）產，是否（fǒu）已經是大（dà）型化、連續化生產，可以用機械的普及程度和使用水平來衡量。通常情況（kuàng）下，石材行業整個生（shēng）產過程的（de）機械化，才能稱得上（shàng）是（shì）石材行業真正的工業化。從某種意義（yì）上說，石材的工業化也可以（yǐ）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.
