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.

Existing frame cassette is open type which lead to contamination easily and reduce yield rate. Back-end process in semiconductor package is still labor-intensive industries. Existing frame cassette is made of metal which is averagely 11KG while it is full loading. It is over the limit for the weight human can carry with two cassettes on both hands. There is also a risk of manual handling which cause wafer damage and harm on operators due to improper transportation. CKplas developed Front Opening Light Cassette Pod which is the first in the market to allow automated transportation with innovative design of top flange, bottom plate and support AMHS and AGV. It reduces particle with innovative hermetic design and mechanical door mechanism which avoid risk of wafer drop or damage due to human error. The weight is only half as heavy as metal cassette with light-weighted compound engineering plastic material, and it reduces contamination issue resulting from anodized finish on metal.
The surface of copper alloy wire has naturally antimicrobial characteristics. AB65 copper alloy wire is made of hybrid yarn,which is the combination of polyester fiber and copper alloy fiber.It has high strength and anti-corrosion. AB65 copper alloy wire soaked in water can release copper ions, effectively inhibit parasites and pathogens, and prevent the growth and attachment of barnacles,algae, and shellfish. AB65 wire has highly strength properties to resist seawater corrosion, and to maintain its shape even under the Kuroshio Current. Interwoven with polyester fiber yarn, greatly reduce the weight of cage and slow down the corrosion of copper alloy surface.Hybrid yarn is easy to assemble ,so the fish farmers can effectively simplify the installation process, reduce the cost of purchase. Decrease of adhesion between algae and shellfish, maintain good water circulation and permeability, have higher dissolved oxygen values, and form a friendly aquaculture environment.
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 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.
