Position of Taiwan Machinery Manufacturing in the World (I)

Taiwan's digital printing equipment, CTP development status, and image input equipment Taiwan's CTP platform scanning color separation machine is highly competitive in terms of function, price, and output (such as UMAX MICROTEK and other brands), accounting for world production in the late 1990s. More than half of the famous orange factories in Europe and America have reloaded their own OS software. Now the A4 size has been gradually replaced by the A3 large size, and even double lenses are used at 800-1000% magnification. Some small size high magnification can reach more than 2000%.
As the market for scanners gradually becomes saturated, high-power digital cameras have gradually become the main force in the market. 14002000 images are available for 6-inch or slightly larger papers, and prices and performance are gradually satisfactory. In color management software , have reached the highest level in the world.
· Font and Chinese editing software Since 1990, Taiwan Huakang and Arphic Technology have actively developed the vector font industry, from traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean to Simplified Chinese fonts. They have achieved a very good market in Japan and South Korea, but also support the development of EPS printing technology. Color correction system for proofing color output, adapted Adobe Quarkuark and other editing software to operate under the Chinese environment. Taiwan itself still has a number of editing software. It is built under the PC Windows environment and uses the Chinese text native environment to do graphic and text output integration. With the gradual opening of the output environment, there are more and more people using it.
· CTP Plate Output Machine and Ink Recycling Machine The macro prison technology company located in the Hsinchu Science Park developed the first CTP plate-layout AkronPlater S24N produced in Taiwan with the platform XY-axis movement technology. The machine retains the advantages of fewer moving elements, slow movement, and no wear. The printed version is completely immobile and can be adapted to various thick and thin plates. Taiwan Institute of Technology in color printing technology. In particular, with the breakthrough of the ink head technology, in the future, digital ink printing equipment will be introduced for proofreading.
· Computer workstations and server peripheral equipment Taiwan has a strong PC production capabilities, not only for local use of the PC without external demand, but also a lot of export. There are a lot of home-use servers on the network, including four processors, multi-purpose display tapes, and a great deal of ability to pass around. Switch Hub and routers are diversified in brand and performance products, and are in line with stringent safety and reliability standards in various countries. In terms of computer motherboards and the semiconductor industry, Taiwan has become the third largest production base in the world and its quality has reached the top level in the world.
Computer CRT screen Taiwan has a large output value and output, reliable and durable and Japan is quite the future, thin LCDTF production layout has a considerable scale, can reduce the power, space and radiation hazards, is the mainstream product of the new century.
• Prepress equipment Taiwan has a very high density of prepress equipment, due to the use of prepress data production systems, improving the overall level of printing. The rapid development of the Computer Direct Publishing System (CTP) has caused great impact on the traditional printing operations.
For high-priced equipment and materials, the Taiwanese players who are still waiting to see the trend and stability of the system have become more aware of the importance of quality before printing, and have increased their exposure to the quality of the traditional printing plates and the post-development distortion processing techniques. Therefore, the equipment manufacturing industry is required to reach more sophisticated and stable equipment in advanced national industry standards in order to satisfy user needs and actively strive for a larger overseas market.
Under the drive of “no quality and no tomorrow”, the comprehensive quality improvement plan that has been implemented over the years has also yielded remarkable results. For example, Taiwan's Wang Chang Machinery Co., which specializes in prepress equipment, has adopted a number of international standards since 1996. Certifications and standards.
On the whole, many prepress equipment in Taiwan, due to the hard work of operators, has successfully exited the world market of Taiwan products under the international quality standards. We also expect that all Taiwanese companies will be able to meet world-class quality standards in order to promote the overall quality and overall competitiveness of Taiwanese products.
The development and status of lithographic printing presses Taiwanese letterpress printing presses were produced after the Japanese occupation and the Second World War. The typographic printing presses were manufactured by the typographer and mobile machine manufacturer in the early 1960s, and were imported from imported typographers. Improve production.
In the 1970s, due to manual shortages, the automatic feeder (Feeder called feeder) was able to produce at higher speeds and save labor. There are 2 or 3 thousand exported to Southeast Asian countries, and feeders have been improving their pneumatic pressure and control electronics. Change.
In the 1990s, there were few markets except China. Medium-speed typographic printers mostly introduce the two technologies of Akiyama and Sumida in Japan. Currently, new-entry iron plants still have monochrome and two-color machines for printing on thick cardboard. The new iron plant SN-104 adopts a high-speed and heavy-duty architecture, double-diameter pressure and rotary drum, precision imported Japanese gears, central centralized control and maximum ink control for the six-color architecture, but the sales situation is not ideal.
Honghua Machinery Co., Ltd. produces printed newspapers and has a good overseas market in the 60-80s. The current situation is not clear.
Small desktop business card printers are produced by several factories such as Cheng Hao and Qi Hao. Small business cards can also be printed outside business cards. Credit cards, telephone cards and UV drying equipment can be produced.
Gravure automatic printing and polishing machines are used for the printing and drying of non-absorbing plastics, plastic cards and nuclear membranes.
Development status of screen printers The vast majority of screen printers in Taiwan can be self-sufficient, and a large proportion of them are exported, not only in Southeast Asia, third-world countries, but also in advanced countries in Japan, Germany, the United States, and Europe. Almost all manufacturers have obtained ISO-9000 quality assurance certifications, and some have also obtained ISO-14001 environmental certifications, mainly due to their high degree of automation and ease of operation. The machining quality of mechanical parts is very sophisticated. Most of these machines are platform-type paper feeders and feeders. They can be used for electronic component printing, even LCD thin display screen printing, multi-layer circuit boards, and thick-film hybrid roads for extremely demanding high-precision printing.
The color printing machine for printed CD-Rom optical discs is used for large posters, carriage advertisements and banner printing. Compared with foreign products, the accuracy and durability are higher, and the prices are relatively reasonable. (to be continued)
