Taiwan Machine Builders Aim for Higher-End Applications

摘要

Major taiwanese injection and blow molding and extrusion machinery OEMs plan to broaden the appeal of their brands by providing higher-end technology solutions at prices competitive with European or Japanese machines. That message emerged from a visit to Taiwan previewing some of the exhibits for the 12th Taipei International Plastics & Rubber Industry Show (Taipei Plas), coming Sept. 21-25 to Taipei, the Taiwanese capital (taipeiplas.com.tw). Some of the latest developments from Taiwan include ventures into new molding styles, including what may be the first injection-compression system from that country; as well as advances in multi-part molding with new stack/tandem/family molding systems. Newer machines boast higher speeds, tighter precision, or new capabilities to help molders enter new markets. New presses that apply electric servo drives to the hydraulic pumps for energy savings will also be shown—vertical machines included.
