Taiwan –where automakers discover top-class total solutions

Other than traditional machines, another notable area of excellence of Taiwan manufacturers is in building industry-specific machine tools and tailor-made

machines. The versatility of Taiwan-made machines greatly differentiates them from standardized models. This edge in mechanical variation thus remains the main reason many international buyers have commissioned Taiwan makers to build purpose-built machines that matched their requirements.

The intelligent future of automotive industryHaving examined the current condition of Taiwan-made machine tools, the next step is to decipher the prospects of Taiwan’s automobile manufacturing chain and learn how it contributes to the global auto sector. It is commonly agreed that “digitalization” is transforming the entire automotive chain - from design to production and then to sales and service. Continuous and automated digital planning and self-learning production systems are defining the future trends

of automotive supply chain. Taiwan’s diverse ICT industry is well-prepared to marry its world-leading technological know-how to the manufacturing might of the automobile sector. Automation solutions providers, such as Delta, Advantech, Fair Friend Group, and industrial robotic expert HIWIN, have established 360-degree connectivity to merge software into automation solutions, which sharpen the application of IIoT(Industrial Internet of Things).

As the car of the future is designed to communicate with the vast mobility network, every vehicle, part, and engine becomes a source for information

transmission. In response to this trend, system providers and machine tool manufacturers are making efforts to successfully connect customers,

equipment, manufacturing, and production management through the integration of IIoT technology, advanced automation solutions, and a CNC system. It is undeniably evident that Taiwan’s industrial digitalization capacity is flourishing, and a growing number of

traditional machine tool manufacturers are transforming themselves into total solution strategists.

In the not-so-distant future, Taiwan-made machine tools equipped with intelligent systems will be in step with fully autonomous auto and low-emission green automotive industry trends. From the fascinating machine tools to the world-renowned ICT/IIoT technology, Taiwan is very much qualified to provide mid- to high-end machine tools and

systems for the revolving sector. Meanwhile, there are certainly abundant reasons for global

automakers to establish production ties with Taiwan today.

machines are dedicated to machining processes like boring and mold die machining. These manufacturers constantly supply machines for production of engines, aluminum wheels, head lights, doors, bumpers, etc.

Innovation breeding edge-cutting/tailor-made machinesA great number of machine builders in Taiwan have cultivated mature technology in mill-turn and vertical machines, as these small-to-mid sized machine tools were among the earliest equipment being developed, and facilitated in the automobile sector. Pioneering manufacturer Tongtai has nearly half a century of experience in developing CNCs. Its success relies on its global recognition of automotive manufacturing machine tools, which account for 40-50% of its sales revenue. As a new era in automobile manufacturing unfolds, sophisticated machinery builders in Taiwan will continue to strengthen capacity to create state-of-the-art CNC lathes and multitasking centers so as to stay ahead of the current trends which emphasize light-weight, green, and composite-built vehicles.

The automotive industry is experiencing a complete revolution today as burgeoning new trends in manufacturing are transforming the entire sector. Autos today are the embodiments of light-weight strategy, sustainable energy, autonomous system and industrial intelligence. These technologies helped trigger a comprehensive upgrade in the automobile production line.

Taiwan’s manufacturers have demonstrated fruitful results in building high-end machine tools to supply the global production chain. In 2015 Taiwan was ranked 7th top producer and 5th top exporter of machine tools globally, while a large proportion of Taiwan-made machines contributed to various automotive applications.

A distinguishing nature of MiT (made-in-Taiwan) machines Sharing a similar nature of the island’s diverse history, the Taiwan machine tool industry has developed its own unique characteristics. Being the receiver of technologies from the first-tier industrial countries in the past centuries, the

industry absorbed much knowledge and infused it with indigenous skills and innovations.

Taiwan’s manufacturers have enriched their machine tools with remarkable precision and stability. With such capability, a number of machine tool manufacturers are tapped to be major OEMs for global automotive suppliers. MiT machine tools, such as 5-axis CNCs, multitasking CNCs, mill-turn CNCs, vertical CNCs, double-column machining centers, and grinders are being facilitated in car component manufacturing as well as mold and die tooling.

Automotive machinery from upstream to downstreamOne important factor that has helped fuel growth in the Taiwan machine tool sector is the concentration of industrial clusters, which makes resources and components highly attainable. These industrial clusters are the backbone of international auto supply chain. They also have another function: to integrate the machine sectors vertically. Taiwan provides a one-stop vertical solution for automotive manufacturers, from upstream metal forming equipment to mid/

downstream lathes, CNCs, cutting/boring tools, and components. Some of the machining applications and solutions offered by Taiwan machine builders for the automotive manufacturing sector are as follows:

Dedication to advancing metal forming technologySheet metal forming is a process of great importance to modern automotive industry; and Taiwan is full of outstanding metal forming equipment builders who can provide the best solutions for high volume production of autos involving sheet metal. Among them are hydraulic press builders DEES and Chin Fong, who hold a significant share of the Asian auto manufacturing market.

They supply stable hydraulic presses to several plants in China and also to multinational automobile companies and service centers globally.

In recent years these manufacturers have been upgrading their machines to embrace the upheavals in the sector. For example, the introduction of simulation system-integrated servo hydraulic presses effectively assisted users in complying with the broadening application demands in metal forming industry. High-performing servo mechanical presses, meanwhile, attained the goal of energy efficiency in auto manufacturing, helping automakers reduce costs and carbon

footprint.

The leaders in five-axis machine tools Five-axis CNCs are increasingly becoming a signature of the new-generation Taiwan machine builders. Having recognized the benefits of five-axis CNCs

in machining, Taiwan machine builders, together with the premier research institution Industrial Technology Research Institute, have allied to engage in innovation of five-axis CNCs. The goal is to maintain high quality while

vibration is eliminated during production, and also to correct the limits of conventional three-axis CNC, further consolidate excellent cutting performance, and increase productivity substantially.

Today, five-axis experts, such as APEC and KEN, are capable of developing

advanced models of 5-axis machining centers for automotive industry. Their

Overview of the Korean Automotive IndustrySouth 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.

1. Korean Automotive Industry began growing during the mid 50’s to early 60’s.

2. South Korea has become a key automotive player in world, manufacturing over 4.5 million units in 2015.

3. Korea’s Ulsan Port exports over 1 million vehicles annually

Overview

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.

Third Phase

During the 80’s and early 90’s, the Korean Automotive industry saw major changes due to global events. These include an increase in oil prices, the asian economic crisis that came at the turn of the century and the assassination of President Park. Changes first began in the early 80’s as government reforms became implemented which were known as Rationalization Measures. The Korean government imposed
