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（shè）計等工作（zuò）所（suǒ）使用的（de）機械、工具和（hé）備件，以及製造石材加工工具（jù）、裝飾等（děng）環節所使（shǐ）用（yòng）的設備和輔助材料。材料（liào）、工具和零件的總（zǒng）稱（chēng）。廣義的石材機（jī）械還應包括磨料、磨具及其製造設（shè）備，而狹（xiá）義的石材機械通（tōng）常是指直（zhí）接作用於石材的機械設備、零配件和工具。

采石場（chǎng）機械在石材工業的生產中，特別是在現代石材工業的生（shēng）產中起（qǐ）著非（fēi）常重要的作用。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要指（zhǐ）標。也可以說，一個國家、一個地區、或者一個生產工藝階段（duàn）是否已經進入了石材的工業化生產（chǎn），是否已經是大型化、連續化（huà）生產，可以用（yòng）機械的普及程（chéng）度和使用水平（píng）來衡量。通常情況下，石材行（háng）業整個生產過程的機械化，才能稱得（dé）上是石材行業真正的工業化。從某種意義上說，石材的工業（yè）化（huà）也可以理解為石（shí）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.
