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.

The solution for a volatile market and to solve the grinding efficiency of transmission shaft. In 2017, Grintimate built up the only hydrostatic cylindrical grinder in Asia that is dedicated to the grinding of transmission gear for automobiles. Combined with the high stiffness, low friction and no wear characteristics of hydrostatic spindle, the grinding wheel is rated up to O455x300x228.6. One-feed grinding boosts grinding capacity and machining efficiency tenfold, greatly cutting down machining time and labor costs.<br /> <br /> Besides, the design uses synchronous servo taper and could operate with robotic arms. We not only ensure the cylindricity and roundness <2μm but also substantially enhance the efficiency. The grinding process can be completed in 45 seconds.
Y-axis capability is an enhancement to a turn/mill machine tool. The constraint of two axes of linear motion is inacceptable on some applications. While there are techniques, such as polar coordinate programming, which use axis interpolation to get three-axis like cuts, there remain some workpiece features that simply can't be cut using the two linear axes available on a standard turn/mill machine. An example is drilling holes in the corners of a milled flat on a cylinder. You can't get to the corners of the flat without Y-axis. Adding Y-axis increases the linear motion capability of a turn/mill machine tool by 33 percent. It's best to think of a Y-axis equipped turn/mill center as two independent machines tools in one. First there is the turning center. It operates exactly like any other 2-axis lathe. The second machine-tool-in-one is a four-axis machining center.

Pai Lung’s K series represents a remarkable new concept that draws on highly original thinking in design and clever new advances in engineering. It combines interior Pai Lung’s latest Knitel technology to a double jersey system in a redefined knitting head that's no longer than a interlock machine only. The main gear transmission of dial and cylinder in the double jersey machine are the oil bathed lubrication. This design can deduce the running noise, energy loss, and part worn out, also provide higher operating RPM in production. The K frame design can separate the frame oil and waste needle oil effectively for easy maintenance. The housing grooving structure can afford long- term period of any heavy loading from the take up system. By the combination of 4 tracks on dial and 6 tracks on cylinder, imitate the function of jacquard effect. Makes the back side more like 3D structure, also enhanced the air permeability. Will outstandingly increase the comfort of sportswear.
The new Pai Lung T-series single jersey knitting machine which inherits from our glorious past design, and also adopted with innovative changes, will bring it’s user a fresh mind and higher profit. Lowering abrasion and rising running speed are the two unavoidable factors concerning to the production capacity. Breakthrough the old edges, the new Pai Lung T-Series design let sinker moves along with the upper part of cylinder. At the same time, as the abrasion decreased, it also helps to prolong sinker life, and machine with higher speed. With new sinker design, the height of sinker ring can be lifted and create larger space between sinker ring and cylinder cam holder. This reduces cotton debris gathering and lower the frequency to clean the machine. helps to keep machine lower temperature . Moreover, the machine equipped with 4 tracks which can knit plain fabric and use 4 track cam arrangements for more complicated quasi-mini jacquard fabrics for modern sports and leisure garments.

The internal sensing of the FC is designed as a heater sandwiched between two sensor wafers. The heater is powered and heated. The temperature at which no fluid flows through is symmetrically distributed around the heater. With the fluid flowing through the heater, the temperature becomes asymmetrical.This product uses this principle to measure the flow rate of the fluid. This product can be used in various fields such as gas flow management, flow confirmation, welding gas flow management, various leak inspections, purge gas flow monitoring and adsorption confirmation, and so on.By the monitoring of the flow meter LCD data display, customers can prevent the equipment from reducing its operating efficiency due to the consumption of gas, so as to achieve the effect of saving the energy of air pressure.
“The biggest challenge the shoe industry has is how do you create a robot that puts the lace into the shoe...<br /> That’s a complete manual process today. There is no technology for that.” said Kasper Rorsted, CEO of Adidas, when interviewed by Financial Times in April 2017. <br /> <br /> Unbeknownst to Mr. Rorsted, the world’s first automated lacing machine has been developed and patented recently. Using 3D stereo vision to guide robot lacing through eyelets imprecisely punched by labors, Auto Lacer is capable of lacing at speed approaching that of factory worker. The algorithm also detects deviations in how shoes are placed onto the machine and adjust robot’s lacing path accordingly. <br /> <br /> Several major shoe brands, both sports and casual shoes, are evaluating Smart Lacer as part of their efforts to automate shoe production processes. The machine also demonstrates that by deploying advanced vision technologies robots can carry out tasks previously considered only possible by humans.
