Taiwan’s Machinery Industry – Current State and Development Potential
According to IEK Consulting, in 2018 Taiwan’s machinery industry had an export value of US$27.4 billion. The top three export markets – China, the United States and Japan – accounted for a combined output value of NT$1.18 trillion, an increase of about 7.3% and a continued record high. A number of factors, primarily the stabilization of global oil prices and exchange rates, a recovery of the major industrial economies of Europe at the end of 2016, as well as an industrial upgrade in China leading to an expansion in automation and demand for new equipment, have contributed to remarkable growth in the output values of two industries: high-tech equipment and metal-processing machine tools. While 2017 saw declines from 2016 in a few categories (namely, industrial machinery, other machinery, and metal molds), other secondary machinery industries in Taiwan, including high-tech equipment, metal-processing machine tools, mechanical transmission components, and fluid machinery, all showed increasing output values.
The Machine Tool Industry in Taiwan
Providing Global Equipment Users with the Best Solutions

Approximately 90% of Taiwan’s machine tool and component vendors can be found within a 60km radius in Greater Taichung. All aspects of the machine tool industry, from the manufacture of parts and components to the assembly of whole machine tools, takes place in close proximity here, making central Taiwan the world’s only industry cluster for machine tools and components. Because of the constant quality upgrades and price advantages this creates, Taiwanese components have become the DNA of machine tools in many countries around the world.

Upstream machine tool components include ball screws and linear slides. In particular, Taiwan has become the world’s second largest supplier of ball screws. Meanwhile, Hiwin Technologies Corp. and other companies adequately support Taiwan’s domestic market demand and mainly provide components such as spindles required in machine tool assembly.

Global Machinery Industry Trends - Machine Tools Grow by Leaps and Bounds
According to an April 2018 report by Taiwan’s Department of Statistics, machine tools are the principal export of the global machinery industry. And according to research by Gardner Publications, global purchases of industrial machines have remained steady at US$80-90 billion in recent years. In 2018, global spending on machine tools was about US$91.9 billion, an increase of 4.8% compared to 2017 and the largest increase since 2011. With the steady growth of the global economy, the manufacturing industry is receiving an influx of orders, and with the rise of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, the global machine tool industry is flourishing once again.

One-piece design reduces the number of parts for machining, saves material, increases efficiency, and reduces carbon emissions. Downsizing also reduces the required space and the frame material. The materials are RoHS certified to ensure them without hazardous substances. Features: 1. High torque 2. Direct loading control 3. Space saving 4. Low maintenance cost 5. High efficiency 6. Multi-loading point 7.Reduce screw deflection, above overcome machine design problems.
A) Wisdom automation: The machine itself has an built-in automatic robot arm plus finished conveyor belt, which is matched with the machine's double spindle design. Not only can the machining of the A and B faces of the workpiece be completed, but also two different workpieces can be processed independently of each spindle to meet the various needs of the customer. If combined with an automatic feeder (vibration plate), it will be upgraded to an automated production line with 24 hours of unmanned machining to achieve the maximum production capacity with the lowest space and minimum investment. ?(B) Double spindle: The machine adopts the same specification dual-spindle design. The difference between the previous and the main spindle is that the sub-spindle specifications of the general machine are smaller than the positive spindle. Therefore, the parts can only be processed in a refined manner when machining. Shows machine efficiency.
