Taiwan-made machine tools leap into new-generation manufacturing

Vertically and horizontally integratedApart 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.

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 facilitiesTaiwan-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

Introduction

Automotive History Malaysia

The first automotive firm in Malaysia was Gadelius & Company that represented Ford Motor Company sales in Malaysia in 1909. The company was relater replaced with an Australian representative called Wearne & Co., that signed a contract for 60 vehicles per year. In 1941, Ford Malaysia set up its first assembly plant in Bukit Timah, Singapore to supply the local market. Between 1942 to 1945 Toyoda and Nissan trucks also ere assembled at Ford Malaya’s plant in Bukit Timah. By 1947, full-scale assembly resumed. Until 1965, Ford was the only automobile assembler in Malaysian/Singaporean sales territories, all other vehicles were imported through a local distribution companies.

Through Malaysia’s independence in 1957, there was an increase in Automotive imports into the country. The Malaysian government first started encouraging the establishment of a local automotive industry in 1963. The beginnings of what became the Malaysian Automotive Industry was formed by the Then Minister of Commerce and Industry, Dr. Lim Swee Aun. Inquires from Foreign and local firms regarding the setting up of vehicle manufacturing facilities started to come in. The then minister announced that the bigger plan was to establish a motor vehicle industry in stages. from basic assembly with some local content to chassis building and finally a fully locally manufactured vehicle.

Introduction

Page 5

The National Automotive Policy (NAP) was introduced on 22 March 2006 to facilitate the required transformation and optimal integration of the local automotive industry to regional and global industry networks within the increasingly liberalised and competitive global environment.

The NAP is the main thrust for the formulation of the strategic directions of the industry under the Third Industrial Master Plan (IMP3), 2006-2020. Three and a half years after its introduction, the National Automotive Policy (NAP) has been reviewed, resulting in new policies that will foster a more competitive market for local and international companies.

In line with the Government of Malaysia's commitment to liberalisation and the " People First" concept, the NAP Review provides further benefits for consumers in terms of safety and environmental protection.

As part of the review, a broad range of stakeholders was consulted to gather insights and best practices from the private sector, civil society and governmental agencies. Their common goal is to improve the long-term viability and competitiveness of the automotive market, leveraging the latest developments in the regional and global automotive industry and offering safer, greener and technologically more advanced vehicles.

The Market Landscape in Malaysia has been shaped by nearly three decades of Government intervention aimed at protecting the interests of the national car makers, namely Proton and Perodua.

It is a much debated policy within the country, and with the 13th General Elections looming, albeit a highly-politicised one too – the promise of lower car prices is listed in the election manifestos of both the governing and opposition political parties.

The heavy price tags of foreign makes have effectively segregated the market into the national and non-national car segments. Enforcement of free trade agreements have resulted in the reduction of import duties, but the status quo has been maintained by the Government enforcing excise duties to offset the lost revenue. The controversial AP system that regulates the import of CBU vehicles is another cost factor that further inflates the pricing of imported vehicles.

Goodyear's involvement in Malaysia dates back to 1908 when The Goodyear Orient Company, a rubber buying firm, was established in Singapore to purchase rubber from plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia.

The sales of Goodyear products in Malaysia began in 1929 through the office of the Goodyear Sales Company, which was established in Singapore.

In 1972, Goodyear Malaysia Berhad established its own manufacturing plant based in Shah Alam, Selangor and today is one of the leading tyre manufacturers in Malaysia.
