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 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.
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).
