China Steel Corporation (CSC) held the "Symposium on Building Taiwan's Autonomous Robot Power System Supply Chain" today, bringing together 7 academic and research units—including the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre (MIRDC), Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), National Cheng Kung University Motor Center, and the Taiwan Motor Industry Association—along with 90 manufacturers such as Ta Ya Electric Wire & Cable, TECO Electric & Machinery, Fukuta Electric & Machinery, Foxconn, Pegatron, HIWIN Technologies, TBI MOTION, and Techman Robot.
CSC President Huang Chien-chih stated that in the past, CSC primarily cooperated with global mainstream automakers to develop and produce high-grade electrical steel for the power systems of electric vehicles, electric buses, and electric scooters. As global manufacturing undergoes a short-chain revolution driven by the AI explosion and smart mobility, the robotics market has reached a critical moment of rapid growth.
However, robot motors demand a power density much higher than ordinary vehicles. Their iron core materials must possess characteristics such as extreme thinness, high magnetic permeability, and high magnetic flux density. Furthermore, such high-end technologies have long been controlled by international giants, leaving Taiwanese operators mostly in mid-to-downstream OEM roles.
Huang mentioned that to break through existing structural limitations, CSC has transformed from a material supplier into an integrator of the supply chain. CSC invested NT$15 billion to build a specialized production line for high-end, ultra-thin electrical steel and successfully developed 0.10 mm ultra-thin electrical steel. Coupled with self-bonding coating technology, CSC hopes to become a strong backbone for domestic operators.
CSC's Vice President of Technology, Liu Hung-yi, pointed out that the power system is the core heart of a robot. CSC possesses electrical steel manufacturing technology, electromagnetic simulation and thermal fluid analysis teams, and a demonstration production line for self-bonding iron cores, which can support the development of domestic power system operators.
He added that CSC will promote a "joint proposal" model in the future, acting as an integrator. By teaming up with domestic motor and reducer manufacturers to directly connect with major international system integrators, they aim to secure global market opportunities, moving toward the goal of making Taiwan an important production base for the international motor and robotics industries.
