What Fastcut Machinery does

Fastcut Machinery (legal name Chien Yih Machinery Co., Ltd.; 健溢機械股份有限公司) is a privately held Taiwanese CNC machine tool manufacturer founded in 1987 and currently headquartered in Nantou County, Caotun Township, Taiwan. The company specializes in two product families: center drive lathes (single holding spindle, dual holding spindle, and twin center spindle variants) and polygon milling machines. Its core technology is a patented center drive architecture in which a spindle with a built-in hydraulic chuck is mounted at the center of the machine bed, with independent tooling systems on each side enabling simultaneous machining of both ends of a workpiece. This design eliminates part flipping and re-chucking, delivering 40–60% cycle time reductions versus conventional turning and centering precision of ±0.01mm. The product portfolio includes single holding spindle models (A10, GF39, TL10, XF10), dual holding spindle models (DF11, SF10), twin center spindle TAL22 for shafts up to 2500mm, and polygon machines (65NCL, 65NCL2, CY-6501, 65NC). The company also sells integrated automation modules (auto-loading/unloading, in-line auto-gauging) and complete turnkey production cells from a single machine controller.

Fastcut serves automotive drivetrain manufacturers as its primary vertical (drive shafts, transmission shafts, axle shafts, steering columns), with secondary exposure to aerospace precision components, oil & gas pipe couplings and drill collars, industrial shaft and hydraulic cylinder production, and general machinery. Named enterprise references include NTN Corporation in Japan (first automated center drive lathe export in 2002) and an unnamed European automobile manufacturer where an automated turning cell was installed in 2009. The company holds 70 center spindle patents granted across up to 15 countries including the EU, anchored by a world patent on the self-keeping hydraulic chuck that maintains clamping pressure without continuous hydraulic supply and prevents thermal drift during long production runs.

Revenue is generated through capital equipment sales (CNC lathes, polygon machines, automation modules), turnkey production line integration services, and aftermarket spare parts and technical support. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with configurations customized by bore size, automation options, and customer-specific fixtures. The company operates with a very lean headcount of approximately 7 employees and reaches international customers through exclusive regional channel partners: Dynamic Machine Of Detroit for the United States, Canada, and Mexico; Höhnberg Technik GmbH for Germany; PT. Mekatronik Gemilang Teknologi for Indonesia; and a wholly-owned subsidiary, Kunshan Jiadali Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. (昆山加達力機械設備有限公司), for mainland China. Direct factory sales are maintained from Taiwan headquarters for the domestic market and other territories without a designated partner.

Core offering

Fastcut Machinery designs and manufactures CNC center drive lathes (single holding, dual holding, and twin center spindle models) and CNC polygon milling machines built around its patented self-keeping hydraulic chuck and center-spindle architecture. Its machines enable simultaneous dual-end machining of shafts, tubes, gears, and polygon parts in a single setup, achieving ±0.01mm centering precision with 40–60% cycle time reduction versus conventional turning. The company also delivers complete turnkey production lines integrating auto-loading, auto-gauging, and machining under a single controller, plus spare parts and aftermarket service.

Product overview

Fastcut Machinery (健溢機械股份有限公司) is a Taiwanese CNC machine manufacturer specializing in center drive lathes and polygon machines. The product portfolio centers on two main product lines: Center Drive Lathes (單夾持/雙夾持/雙主軸) and Polygon Machines (切角機/車削複合機). Center Drive Lathes use a spindle with built-in hydraulic chuck installed at the center of the machine bed with independent tooling systems on both sides, enabling simultaneous dual-end machining for precise concentricity. The lineup includes single holding spindle models (A10, GF39, TL10, XF10), dual holding spindle models (DF11, SF10), and twin center spindle model (TAL22) for shafts up to 2500mm. Polygon Machines combine polygon milling with turning functions, including 65NCL, 65NCL2, CY-6501, and 65NC models. The company also offers turnkey solutions integrating machining, auto-loading/unloading, and auto-gauging systems.
