石材機械是指（zhǐ）對天然或人造石材進行勘探、開采、加工、維修（xiū）、檢測、裝飾、設計等（děng）工（gōng）作所使用的機械、工具和備件，以（yǐ）及（jí）製造石材加工工具、裝（zhuāng）飾等環節所（suǒ）使用的設備和輔助材料。材料、工具和零件的總稱。廣義（yì）的石材機械（xiè）還應包括磨料、磨具及其製造（zào）設備，而狹義（yì）的石材機械通常是指直接作用於石材的機械設備、零配件和工具。

采（cǎi）石場機械在石材工業的（de）生產中，特別是在現代石材工（gōng）業的生產中起著非常重要的作用。石材機械的使用水平和普及程度（dù）是衡（héng）量一個國家石材工業水（shuǐ）平的（de）最重要指標。也可以說，一個國（guó）家、一個地區、或者一個生產工藝階（jiē）段是否已經進入了石材的工業化生產，是否已經是大型化、連續化生（shēng）產，可以用機械的普及（jí）程度和使用水平來衡量。通常情（qíng）況（kuàng）下，石（shí）材行業整個生產（chǎn）過程的機（jī）械化，才能（néng）稱得上是石材行業（yè）真正的工（gōng）業化。從某種意義上說，石材的工業化也可以理解為石材工業（yè）的現代（dài）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.
