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.

In terms of the processing equipment or general assembly fixture equipment, the most commonly used traditional clamping cylinder type is a rotary clamp cylinder that synchronously moves downwardand then pressesduring a 90-degree rotation, and has a rotary down section and a down pressure section. In the two-stage operation, there is a large demand for the operation space, while the HGR Rotary Clamp Cylinderdirectly rotates 90° at the highest point during operation, and it directly performs the downward pressure stroke. Compared with the traditional rotary lower downward pressure cylinder that needs to move down synchronously in the rotation section, the product needs less space for rotating down, so it saves nearly 50% of space requirements.The rotating direction is divided into two directions: right turn (HGR) and left turn (HGL). Customers can select the device according to the actual clamping position.
INNGRIT's Zero-point Clamping System with exclusive patented floating mechanism is different from general mechanical principles. When the slider is pulled down tightly, the instantaneous floating mechanism will lock the slider upwards, so that the compensation center point can reach the positioning accuracy of 0.005 mm. It can automatically compensate the loss caused by the use of the module. The module's single pull-down force can be as strong as 2 ton, making it the strongest lateral force. Through the standardization of quick mold change, the speed of operations has become a natural thing to achieve the time-saving and high-efficiency Industry 4.0 standard. Designed not only to take into account the functionality, but also study and refine each profile and curve. In addition, our R&D team spent several months to find the alloy materials that have been optimized for wear resistance, high strength, and high hardness in order to withstand the challenges of daily operations on the production line. It will ensure that your Zero-point Clamping System can create value for you process all the time.

“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.
