Recent developments in the machine tool market and machine tool industry in Taiwan

Taiwan, China is an important machine tool production and exporting place in the world. In 2005, Taiwan's machine tool production value (estimated value) was 3.295 billion US dollars, accounting for 6.4% of the world's total machine tool output, ranking fifth in the world.

The characteristics of foreign trade are "big and big"

The characteristics of Taiwan's machine tool foreign trade are “big and big”, and about 80% of its machine tool output is for export. In 2005, the value of machine tool exports (estimated value) was 2.627 billion US dollars, accounting for 9.2% of the world's machine tool exports. The fourth in the world. More than 40% of its exports are exported to mainland China through Hong Kong, followed by exports to the United States and other places. In 2005, Taiwan's machine tool imports (estimated value) was 1.525 billion US dollars, accounting for about 70% of its annual machine tool consumption, and there was a trade surplus of about 1.1 billion US dollars.

Main attack mid-range CNC machine tools
Taiwan's machine tool manufacturing industry keeps up with the trend of technology development, learns Japanese experience, combines the technical conditions of the island, and focuses on large-scale mid-range CNC machine tools, first of all, machining centers, followed by CNC lathes and CNC grinding machines. In the design of machine tools, the combination of imitation and innovation, avoiding patents, and strive to be efficient and high-quality in manufacturing, and pay attention to "practical, practical and affordable" everywhere. The performance of its CNC machine tools is slightly lower than that of Japan, but the price is much lower than that of similar Japanese machine tools, thus becoming a marketable product in the world machine tool market with higher performance and price ratio. Especially after entering the 21st century, the production of CNC machine tools in Taiwan Province developed faster. During the period from 2001 to 2005, the output value of CNC machine tools increased by 162%, with an average annual growth rate of 27.2%. The numerical control rate of Taiwan's machine tool output value also changed from 50% in 2001 rose to 68% in 2005 (see attached table).

Key development projects
According to Wang Zhengqing, CEO of the Taiwan Machine Tool Development Foundation, the machine tool technology projects being developed in Taiwan at this stage include: (1) high-speed spindles above 20,000v/min; (2) nano-machining technology; (3) high-speed above 100m/min Feed linear motor application technology; (4) multi-axis turning (milling) compound processing machine; (5) high-performance horizontal machining center; (6) green product without hydraulic system; (7) dry cutting technology (8) man-machine interface; (9) remote monitoring and maintenance technology.
