TOYO Modules (products under Toyoda Group) demonstrate significant differentiated advantages compared with industry peers in terms of technical performance, market positioning, application scenarios and service systems, with specific manifestations in the following dimensions:
The repeat positioning accuracy of TOYO Modules generally reaches ±0.005mm. Some high-end series (such as the GTH Series) adopt a built-in rail design and ground ball screw technology, resulting in a long-term operating precision attenuation rate of less than 5%, while the attenuation rate of domestic similar products can reach more than 10%. For example, in the scenario of semiconductor wafer inspection, the high precision of TOYO Modules ensures the stability of nanoscale defect identification. Compared with Japanese brands like THK, its cost is reduced by 30% while maintaining the same level of precision.
The maximum speed of belt-driven modules can reach 5m/s, with an acceleration of 50m/s², far exceeding the industry average (3m/s, 30m/s²). In scenarios such as food packaging and rapid handling of 3C electronics, the high-speed feature of TOYO Modules can increase the production line tact time by 20%-30%. At the same time, through the optimization of dynamic response, it reduces the equipment loss caused by inertial impact.
Dust-free series modules (such as the ECH22) achieve CLASS 10 cleanroom standards through a fully enclosed structure and air suction nozzle design, meeting the requirements of high-cleanliness environments such as semiconductor packaging and medical equipment. Their dust and debris resistance performance is 50% higher than that of domestic competitors, and the failure rate is reduced to 0.1 times per thousand hours. In addition, in a wide temperature range from -20℃ to 80℃, TOYO Modules can still maintain a positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm, which is better than the ±0.02mm of brands like HIWIN.
The innovative built-in rail design (such as in the GLTH Series) embeds the rail into the module body, reducing the overall volume by 25% and the height to 60% of that of traditional modules. In space-constrained scenarios such as smartphone screen lamination, TOYO Modules can integrate multi-axis systems, increasing the equipment layout density by 40%. For instance, after an electronics factory adopted TOYO Modules, the floor area of a single production line was reduced by 3㎡, and the production capacity was increased by 15%.
It supports arbitrarily combined multi-axis motion platforms (such as XYZ three-axis systems), which can be assembled and commissioned within 30 minutes, saving 70% of the time compared with traditional customized solutions. Meanwhile, the modules are compatible with mainstream motor brands such as Mitsubishi, Panasonic and Inovance, with adaptability covering more than 90% of industrial controllers, reducing the transformation cost for customers.
It adopts a composite structure of aluminum alloy and steel. While maintaining the rigidity of C5-grade ball screws, the weight is 35% lighter than that of all-steel modules. For example, when the ECB Series modules bear a load of 150kg, their body weight is only 70% of that of competitors, making them suitable for lightweight demand scenarios such as AGV carriers and collaborative robot end effectors.
In high-value-added fields such as semiconductors, medical care and 3C electronics, TOYO Modules adopt the strategy of "Japanese quality + Taiwanese pricing" and occupy 21% of the Chinese market share, second only to THK (28%) and HIWIN (25%). For example, in the lithium battery pole piece coating process, the tension control accuracy of TOYO Modules reaches ±1N, which is 3 times higher than that of domestic similar products, while the price is only 60% of that of Japanese brands.
In the import substitution track of industries such as photovoltaics and new energy vehicles, relying on the ±0.005mm precision and 100,000-hour MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), TOYO Modules have successfully entered the supply chain of leading enterprises such as CATL and BYD, breaking the monopoly of Japanese brands. In 2025, its penetration rate in photovoltaic wafer sorting equipment has reached 35%, an increase of 20 percentage points compared with 2023.
Different from the long delivery time (8-12 weeks) of THK and HIWIN, the delivery time of standard TOYO Modules is shortened to 2-4 weeks, and it provides nationwide 48-hour technical support. In manufacturing-intensive areas such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, its spare parts warehouses cover 90% of common models, and emergency orders can be delivered within 2 hours.
Semiconductors: In TSMC's 28nm production line, TOYO Modules are used in wafer defect inspection equipment, with an annual failure rate of less than 0.5 times, and the maintenance cost is 40% lower than that of imported brands.
Medical Care: The CT scan bed drive module developed in cooperation with United Imaging Healthcare has passed ISO 13485 certification, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm, supporting the equipment to achieve a scanning speed of 0.5 seconds per layer.
Automotive: Toyota's Tianjin factory uses TOYO Modules to complete the press-fitting of transmission gears, with a yield rate of 99.7%, an increase of 10 percentage points compared with manual operation.
Low-Altitude Economy: It provides carbon fiber structural part processing equipment for EHang's EH216-S autonomous passenger-carrying UAV. The modules still maintain a positioning accuracy of ±0.05mm in a high-frequency vibration environment, ensuring the consistency of parts.
Metaverse: It has developed VR headset lens lamination equipment in cooperation with Pico. Through multi-axis linkage, it realizes micron-level lamination of curved lenses, with the yield rate increased to 99.2%.
The JAKA EVO industrial embodied intelligence platform launched in 2025 integrates TOYO Modules and AI vision systems, which can independently complete complex tasks such as sorting and assembling 3C electronic parts. The training time is 80% shorter than that of traditional teaching methods.
The modules adopt ironless linear motors and energy-saving drivers, reducing energy consumption by 25% compared with traditional ball screw modules. In 2024, the automated production line it provided for a photovoltaic enterprise saved 1.2 million kWh of electricity annually, equivalent to a reduction of 960 tons of carbon emissions.
Through a combined strategy of leading technical parameters, innovative design, rapid response and cost optimization, TOYO Modules have formed unique competitive advantages in the mid-to-high-end market. Compared with brands such as THK and HIWIN, it can replace imports in high-precision fields such as semiconductors and medical care, and at the same time seize opportunities in emerging tracks such as new energy and low-altitude economy. Compared with domestic competitors, it has significant technical barriers and brand premium. In the future, with the accelerated trend of intelligence and green development, TOYO Modules are expected to further expand their market share and become one of the core suppliers in the global industrial
