Machine tool industry seizes opportunities in automotive aluminum ring processing market

It is optimistic that there are huge market opportunities in the world where as many as hundreds of millions of automotive aluminum wheels rely on machine tool cutting every year. After Fuyu developed three vertical lathes in one breath last year, Far Eastern Machinery's investment in technology was also positive. Preparation for the launch of a vertical lathe with an automatic exchange table in September, dedicated to large-scale aluminum rim processing, and emphasis on processing efficiency that surpasses that of its peers. It is intended to compete with existing manufacturers such as Taichung Seiki and oil refiners on the market. .

Zhuang Guohui, chairman of Far East Machinery, pointed out that CNC horizontal aluminum wheel processing machines have always been the operational strength of the Far East. In the most glorious period of the past, the market share of Taiwan has been as high as 47%, only when the Taichung Seiki machine industry transferred to vertical In the lathe field, when processing larger rims, the Far East was in a difficult period of operation and the pace of research and development did not follow up, resulting in the loss of the market.

Fortunately, Far East’s core competitiveness in machine tools has not been lost. After refocusing, the subsidiary launched a new prototype of CNC vertical aluminum wheel processing machine developed by science and technology, and is undergoing final testing, and will control the operating error rate to The most important feature of the lowest state is that the machine table is equipped with an automatic exchange table. After a special design, the switching speed of each of the two aluminum rings can be four seconds less than the industry, and the processing efficiency is significantly improved.

Zhuang Guohui believes that the world’s annual automobile production volume has reached 60, 70 million vehicles. With each vehicle having four tires and one spare tire, the demand for one year's automobile rims will reach 300 million or more, at least among them. Half of them are equipped with aluminum wheels. Far East's newly designed vertical aluminum wheel processing machine weighs only half of the industry, and its processing performance is better than that of its peers. After the listing in September, the market should have strong demand. The future sales volume should be able to catch up. Peers.

In addition, after the development of three vertical lathes, the manufacturer of grinding machines, Fuyu, failed to make much progress in sales in the past six months. In order to seek a breakthrough, Fuyu decided to introduce Japanese consultants to provide factory services, and use rim processing to outperform the industry. Twenty percent did the call and adopted the practice of letting buyers continue to try out the new machine in the Fukyu factory until they were satisfied, so as to win the trust of buyers and expand the domestic market.
