Friends in the machining industry know that nearly all metal frames of smartphones are processed using CNC drilling and milling centers. So, as a machining professional, how do you choose the right CNC drilling and tapping machine?

Many might first look at specifications and parameters, then consider price and discounts. While specs provide a basic understanding of a machine's performance, the hidden factors — long-term stability and reliability — can't be fully captured in a simple parameter sheet.
This is where brand reputation, sales volume, technical expertise, after-sales service, and overall strength come into play. Selecting the right machine requires a comprehensive evaluation of multiple factors to make the most suitable choice.

The Taikan T-500B series drilling and milling center is an "all-round performer" CNC drilling and tapping machine — a smart choice that balances various critical factors. Why is it hailed as the "3C Machining Star" in its category?

The Taikan T-500B series represents the eighth generation of the company's drilling and tapping machines. Since the first generation was launched in 2011, Taikan has undergone eight iterations of upgrades, driven by a pursuit of technological leadership and quality stability. The best technologies and most valuable manufacturing experience have been incorporated into this series, making it the culmination of Taikan's 20 years of technical expertise.

As of 2025, Taikan has sold over 110,000 drilling and milling centers worldwide, demonstrating the quality and reliability of its products in the global market.
While sales alone don't tell the whole story, they reflect widespread customer recognition — particularly from repeat clients — and validate the machine's quality and cost-effectiveness. High sales also ensure better availability of spare parts and more responsive after-sales support.
A machine tool is not a disposable product but a long-term productivity tool. Choosing a high-volume model means choosing peace of mind.

Taikan currently has over 200 sales and service outlets, supported by more than 400 after-sales specialists.
Compared to international brands from Europe, America, Japan, or South Korea, Taikan provides timely service that responds quickly to customer needs and resolves issues efficiently, ensuring stable and continuous productivity for its users.

Taikan is one of the few leading CNC machine tool brands that offers top-tier configurations. The T-500B series uses first-class domestic and international components for its core parts:
Screws: Taiwan PMI / Japan THK / NSK
Screw bearings: Germany FAG / Japan NSK
Key pneumatic components: SMC / CKD
Spindle and drive servo motors: Japan Mitsubishi
The use of premium components ensures high precision, stability, and long-term reliability in the T-500B series. Consistent performance is the foundation of a great machine — stability above all.
