Is the reason why Taiwan's Shanghai Silver Guide Screw is out of stock because Shanghai Silver's factory cannot produce the goods? Or is it because the mainland agents don't have the money to get the goods?

The stock-out situation in the guide rail industry started around the end of 2016, when some models were out of stock. It became more serious in early 2017, and spread to most models. In fact, a similar situation also occurred as early as 2010-2011. , but not as serious as this time. It can basically meet the market demand, but the delivery time is slightly longer. This time it is estimated that it will last a little longer. I predict that it will improve by March 2018, so the supply situation in the autumn of 2017 is indeed difficult. Autumn is a concentrated area where all companies step up production, so for users It is important to prepare in advance.

Let’s talk about the difference in quality of guide rails. Some high-end brands on the market are INA, Rexroth, Schneiderberg, THK, NSK, IKO, etc., and mid-range products such as Shangyin Intime CPC and Shangyin Intime are also used in large quantities in China. Secondly, There are many second-tier brands in Taiwan such as ABBA TBI and many brand departments to list them one by one. The low-end ones are some domestic products, the requirements are not strict, and it is no problem to use them.

Then let’s talk about the differences between the products 1. The quality of INA brand has nothing to say. The installation size is basically different from other brands. This is a symbol of strength. There is no reason. The price is expensive but the quality is good. Secondly, Rexroth and Schneiderberg, most of the equipment imported from Germany use these brands. 2. Japanese THK IKO NSK. These three brands inherit the characteristics of Japanese products, with good performance and moderate price. 3. When it comes to Taiwanese products, There are two brands, Shanghai Silver and Intime. Shanghai Silver and Intime are originally from the same roots. Shanghai Silver entered the mainland earlier and Intime entered the European market earlier. Therefore, Shanghai Silver’s domestic share was higher than that of Intime. Before 2017, Intime’s price was higher than that of Shanghai Silver. Slightly more expensive. After 2017, Shanghai Intime has become more expensive than Intime. Let’s take a look at the reasons. Friends who know the industry will find that the usage of Intime products in domestic machine tool shops is higher than that of Shanghai Yin because Intime is better in technology and precision than Shanghai Intime. Silver, so before 2017, Intime was more expensive than Shangyin. During the out-of-stock period, due to heavy usage and serious out-of-stock situation, Shanghai Silver's agents raised prices one after another, and the prices were ridiculously high. Intime also increased its prices, but not by much. As a result, Shanghai Silver's price surpassed that of Intime, so from the perspective of customers who use it, Looking at the group, Intime’s customers still tend to be more rational, while Shanghai Banking’s customers still pursue brands.

Finally, let’s talk about ball screws. I’m just talking about Taiwanese products here. TBI, Yintai PMI, among the three companies, TBI makes the most screws in China. Their stock is relatively stable and the quality is passable. The silver wire rod is a weak point, with limited models and often out of stock. I think the quality is better than TBI. Intime PMI's screw rod still adheres to the PMI slider style, with high precision and good technology, but it may be out of stock.

Final summary: If you are a high-end customer, then you can choose German products at will. THK is recommended for mid-to-high-end customers. Intime PMI is recommended for mid-range machine tools and automation. In the automation industry, choose Yin. If the requirements are not strict, choose ABBA. Taiwanese brands such as TBI (series incomplete micro-industry)

I have been engaged in the guide screw industry for 10 years after graduating from university. The above is my humble opinion. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Beijing Luo Dejiamei Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. operates a number of German, Japanese and Taiwanese brands. The above opinions are just personal opinions and do not mean to belittle or elevate each brand. Each brand has its own advantages and disadvantages.
