International Metalworking News for Asia February issue now online

As the capability of producing metal products increases, metal cutting equipment play a significant role in the productivity of the manufacturer and, ultimately, the success of the end product. Many manufacturers and job shop owners believe that their role in manufacturing is to constantly push the limit of CNC performance with the clear end result of giving their customers a performance advantage. Metal cutting equipment has evolved to include productivity-enhancing resources such as software frameworks, CNC and power controls. When a job shop owner has effective metal cutting equipment tools at his disposal he is well-positioned to achieve faster time to market.


Fagor Automation Corp. presents power series controls designed to enhance the performance and value of all CNC machine tools. It emphasise on large batch production, small production runs and prototype applications which require a versatile, yet powerful CNC solution.

The latest vertical grinding center from EMAG offers efficient, error-free machining processes for the production of small chucked components, providing shorter production cycle times.

Finally, Optical Gaging talks about multi-sensor metrology systems that extend measuring capabilities so more measurements are possible on a single machine. New materials and manufacturing methods these days allow complex parts to be manufactured with tight tolerances and free-form surfaces. A well-designed multi-sensor measurement system improves lean manufacturing processes, and by doing more on a single machine, potential bottlenecks are eliminated.

Preparing for TIMTOS 2013

If you are interested in the progress being made in Taiwan’s machine tool industry, then plan on attending this year’s Taipei International Machine Tool Show (TIMTOS) happening at Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall beginning March 5 until 10.

TIMTOS to feature 1,000 local, foreign exhibitors

TIMTOS has already attracted about 1,000 local and foreign exhibitors from over 20 countries, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) said.

Taipei International Machine Tool Show provides a unique networking opportunity for the participants to interact with decision makers, government officials and trade professionals to develop new leads and secure business in a promising market. The visitors can explore latest designs and modern accessories in one of the fastest growing business sectors in the world. The biennial exhibition, the second largest of its kind in Asia, has already attracted over 950 local and foreign exhibitors from over 20 countries.

In order to accommodate the growing number of exhibitors and visitors registering for the show, Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1-3 and Nangang Exhibition Hall will all be in use, the organizers said.

The biennial exhibition, the second largest of its kind in Asia, has already attracted over 950 local and foreign exhibitors from over 20 countries, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) said in a statement.
The event is expected to be attended by an estimated number of 47,500 visitors, including 5,500 foreign buyers from Taiwan's major machine tool export markets such as Indonesia, Turkey, Russia, India and Brazil, the statement said.

In addition to holding one-on-one procurement meetings and seminars, the organizers will also release mobile application services and host an innovation competition, TAITRA said.


Taiwan was the world's fourth-largest exporter of machine tools in 2011, with machine tool exports reaching US$4 billion, according to government statistics.

The largest Asian machine tool exhibition is the International Machine Tool and Tools Exhibition (CIMES) in China, which drew 1,178 exhibitors and 60,218 visitors in 2010, according to that show's official website.

Why Taiwan?
With an annual production output of US$ 5 billion, Taiwan is the 4th largest machine tool producing country in the world. A third of the total production value is contributed by machining centers, which is US$800 million. Undoubtedly the machining center is the bench mark product of the Taiwanese machine tool business.
