4. Taiwan-made machine tools leap into
new-generation manufacturing
Vertically and horizontally integrated
Apart from supplying advanced machining equipment to the global
manufacturing market, Taiwan also provides integrated machine development
solutions. The nation operates one of the world’s most prolific industry clusters,
which gives its machinery makers an edge in providing complete supply chain
service and one-stop machining solutions to international manufacturers.
Industrial parks located across the island serve as bases of thousands of
machine tool makers, assemblers, and machine part suppliers who are globally
recognized for their skills and technological achievements. They support
each other through cooperation and collaboration, thus enabling them to be as
flexible and adaptable as possible. Upstream and downstream companies in the
machinery industry are integrated vertically. Furthermore, the Taiwan machine
tool sector is also aligning with other industries like information technology.
By integrating horizontally, Taiwan machine tool suppliers have tapped into the
strengths of other sectors to create more advanced machining applications.
The rise of multifunction machines, customized machining processes,
and smart automation solutions from Taiwan has greatly improve overall
manufacturing performance. This is also fueling a surge in demand for hybrid
machine tools. Manufacturers can easily find Taiwan-made machines that
blend additive manufacturing and multi-tasking functions. Hybrid machines
like these are especially well-suited for small lot production of difficult-to-cut
materials required in the aerospace, medical and energy industries. Taiwan’s
growing success in providing machining automation is also the result of
horizontal integration. For example, energy-efficient power products
from leading companies have helped makers increase the power
supply efficiency of their machines by up to 90 percent. Meanwhile,
automation solution providers in Taiwan have secured a number
of patents for measurement applications, which can substantially
improve capability to provide in-house automated handling and
manufacturing execution systems (MES). Such automation systems
will help realize fully automated cells in factories.
Taiwan machine tool makers have mustered enough support
from the nation’s technology sector, giving them the edge to
create machining solutions for maximum stability, efficiency,
and functionality. For manufacturers who are aiming to boost
productivity and quality, Taiwan provides the most comprehensive
solutions in machine tools used in different manufacturing sectors.
technique can achieve deeper and more precise holes with smaller diameters.
Both help enhance the range of applications of machine tools. With such high-
performance machines, good production practices can be upheld by every
manufacturer, whether it is located in an advanced nation or a developing
country. This also means future machines can level the playing field, which
will give underdeveloped economies the opportunity to develop their fledging
manufacturing sector with the help of advanced machine tools from Taiwan.
Taiwan of late has also made significant inroads in the development of large-
sized, multi-axis machines, thus giving a number of local machine tool builders
the leverage to compete on the global stage. Several Taiwanese companies
specialize in 5-axis, high-speed, double-column, and moving-column machining
centers that are extensively used in aviation manufacturing. And so international
manufacturers who are sourcing for machine tools that could meet their
production requirements do not have to look far as Taiwan offers all sorts of
industry-specific machines that can verily meet their expectations and budget.
www.twmt.tw
Local machinery manufacturers are pillars of Taiwan’s economy: they have
for many years maintained a distinct and irreplaceable role in the production
sector, especially in the development and supply of machine tools. Nearly every
producer who succeeded in the manufacturing market has them to thank for.
According to a WTO statistics report, Taiwan placed second among the world’s
top contributors to the global value chain in 2015, with nearly 70% of its
manufactured goods and services exported worldwide. This evidently shows
the extent of Taiwan’s involvement in global trade. On industrial machinery
development, Taiwan has managed to preserve a sterling reputation in the global
market. This Asian manufacturing powerhouse is ranked alongside the world’s
top five exporters and top seven producers of machine tools used in various
industries, including automotive, electronics, information and communication
technology, aerospace, and large-scale infrastructure.
From conventional machine tools to future production facilities
Taiwan-made machine tools offer better price-performance ratio than similar
ones made by other countries. Each is designed, built, and equipped entirely in-
house to ensure utmost quality and machining precision. Machine tools that are
exported by Taiwan can be broadly classified into two categories:
Conventional machine models with classic features
Sophisticated machining units (e.g., EDM, ultrasonic/laser machine tools,
electrochemical grinder, photochemical milling machine, and large-scale
multi-axis machine)
Taiwan’s sophisticated ability in building machine tools is a product of over
several decades of manufacturing experience. Locally made machining
equipment, such as vertical CNC, lathe, milling machine, drill press, and grinding
machine, bears the hallmark of manufacturing flexibility that only Taiwanese
builders can execute flawlessly. Providing a range of machining models that
meet the requirements of industrial end-users, these unsung heroes have helped
put Taiwan on the global machinery map. The nation supplies various types
of grinders that include cylindrical, surface, internal and centerless. These
boast superior stability and rigidity, which are exactly what manufacturers of
automotive gear shafts, auto components, electronics, IT gadgets, and mold dies
needed.
Taiwan also provides an assortment of vertical and horizontal CNC lathes.
Variations in design and functionality of these types distinguish one from
another. New-generation lathes also have been launched recently, which
feature enhanced operations for better milling, drilling, tapping, and spindle
performance.
As the global manufacturing sector moves toward simplifying once complicated
machining processes down to single a setup, many local machine tool builders
are stepping up to the challenge. So far, improvements in machine design
successfully eliminate many machining failures resulting from vibrations and
drastic temperature changes. New models rolled out of several factories in
Taiwan overcome the limitations of traditional machining processes. They
feature optimum cutting accuracy, temperature control, and running stability,
with every detail considered for modern machining. With all the advances,
global manufacturers have more and better options than just conventional
processes. Machine buyers could easily notice the differences. Take an EDM
for example, locally made EDMs deliver excellent cutting precision, which is
made possible by combining linear motor technology and the latest auto wire
threading mechanism to meet multi-angle manufacturing requirements.
Another good example is the drilling machine. Two types dominate the market
currently: ultrasonic drilling ensures machining stability, reduces chipping,
and allows micro-hole machining of hard and brittle materials, while laser

7. Overview of the Korean Automotive Industry
South Korea has the worlds fifth largest automotive Industry and the fifth largest
automobile export volume in the world. The Korean Auto Industry has been a key
factor in Koreas economic growth since the 1990’s.
The industry itself already contributes more than 10% to the national economy is areas
including employment, production and exports. The development of the Korean
automotive Industry can be understood in four steps that arguably began sometime
between the mid 50’s to early 60’s.
It began with the early growth phase during the 60’s to mid 70’s; followed by an rapid
growth phase until the early 80’s; then leading to further rapid growth and expansion
throughout the 80’s; and concluding with the asian economic crisis that came at the end
of the 90’s.

8. First Phase
During the mid 50’s to early 60’s, Korea was one of the worlds poorest
countries. Korea’s GDP per capita during this time was was only 10
percent of that of the United States and a growth rate of only 1
percent. A five year plant was implemented under the rule of Major
General Park Chung Hee in 1962 that helped began the growth of the
automotive industry. The plan placed a lot of priority for domestic
manufacturing of automobiles. To support this new growth, the
government prevented imported foreign vehicles to be sold
domestically however automobile parts was allowed to support the
domestic automotive industry. However, a dependence on foreign
automotive parts forced ment that Korean manufacturers only
consisted of semi- and fully knocked-down kits that were imported
from Japan and the United States. To end this dependence on foreign
companies, the government encouraged domestic research and
development for automotive products. With government support, this
led to the establishment of companies such as Hyundai Motor
Company. The aim for Hyundai was to be the first company to create
and develop the first Korean Car.
Second Phase
By the end of the 70’s, total production increased to over 200,000
units, with the domestic content ratio of automobiles being over 90
percent. With time, Korean automobiles improved in quality gaining
more acceptance globally. In addition, almost 100 million USD worth
of automobiles had been exported to over 67 countries by the start of
the 80’s. KIA’s Brisa pickup truck was the first Korean Automobile to
be exported to foreign markets. KIA also began strengthening its
international relationships by manufacturing Fiat and Peugeot vehicles
locally for foreign export.
