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.

Generally speaking, the uniaxial cylinder piston and the spindle are all circular design. The appearance is mostly square, and there are often rotations when they are actuated, which causes unstable operation and reduces the accuracy. If you want to avoid rotation, you must install guiderod or linear guide to limit the rotation. The piston of JM OvalPiston Cylinder is designed asoval form, which comes with precision extruded aluminum extruded oval cylinder tube. There’s no need to add to additional guide rod or linear guide and other complex mechanisms, you can achieve the effect that there will be no unstable operation situation when actuated. The JM OvalPiston Cylinderisflatter than the traditional cylinder and can help save the space of installation.
This product uses mirror-polished special ceramic material for the Z-axis set point station probe, with small surface coefficient of friction, corrosion resistance and rust-resistant characteristics. Through the mechanical structural analysis, the measured contact force and the maximum force to achieve the action set by the miniature tool machining reference point are calculated, supplemented by the improved inner spring structure, the optimization of the reset device design, and the embedded header collision avoidance design and inlay precision technology. With precision technology, it can measure 0.1mm to 0.3mm micro-tools, measuring the stringent requirements of 0.1mm drill dial full scale (without breaking the drill's success rate> 95%).The vertical contact force of the drill can reach 1.5kgw, and the stress at the contact point can reach 1.9×109 kgw/m2. (According to the diameter of the drill tip 0.01mm, it can withstand contact stress 1.5kgw/[3.14×(5×10-6)2m2] = 1.9×109 kgw/m2).
FE’s production of the DSDB is first in Taiwan and we could use it to promote the transformer life and decrease operator’s dangerous, so we can use it to enhance the transformer reliability. At present there are many different types of the transformer in Taiwan, but most of all the transformer wasn’t use it because it is very expensively, so this is why we develop the DSDB. Because of the DSDB was produced in Taiwan, so we can offer a good customer service more than abroad one. FE’s DSDB is according to the customer requirement and we really believe it will fit in (the customer requirement).
