A Guide to Choosing Laser Equipment Under the New Policy: What Machines Qualify for Subsidies

Under the new policy in 2003, companies that purchase industrial laser equipment can receive a 15 % purchase subsidy.It lists the laser-cutting and marking machines that qualify for subsidies, compares the power consumption standards of different models, and includes practical advice for businesses applying for subsidies. It will help you choose the right model and reduce your procurement costs.

The threshold for policy subsidies.

Recently, I chatted with several manufacturing bosses, and discovered that many of them didn't understand the "hard targets" in the policy.The two basic criteria for subsidies this time around are that the equipment must meet national second-level energy efficiency standards, and that the cutting precision must be within 0.05 mm.For example, the 3000W fiber laser cutting machine of a certain brand has been tested and found to use 18 % less electricity than the previous model, which is a clear success.

Energy efficiency reports are a minefield.

Last month a customer went to declare with a test report from last year, and was rejected.Remember, it must be an annual report issued by a CMA-certified laboratory.I suggest that the factories be allowed to provide inspection reports with their own seals. This would be more reliable and save time.

The following are some of the best-selling models.

According to our research, the following are the most popular models:

1. RIKO 6000W fiber laser cutting machine (saving NT $ 120,000).

2. The Tachikawa G3015F high-precision model (precision of 0.03 mm, surpassing the national standard).

3. Creative 3500W economic model (payback period reduced to eight months).

Can second-hand equipment be used to shear the wool from Taiwan's back?

Many friends have asked whether second-hand equipment will work, and the truth is that the policy stipulates that equipment must be produced after January 2023.But there's a loophole: the value of the old car is included in the subsidy base, which effectively lowers the cost.

How to prepare the application materials.

I've seen clients lose hundreds of thousands of NT dollars in subsidies because their invoices had the wrong product names.Three things to remember:

- The invoice must clearly state the model name and power rating.

- Payment certificates must be consistent with the main body of the contract.

The acceptance form for the equipment must have signatures from three parties.

He recommends that you hold a meeting with the finance and procurement departments before submitting the materials list, and that you check it three times.

Keep an eye on the deadlines.

The time frame for filing differs greatly from region to region. In the Yangtze River Delta, for example, there are two filing periods (in June and November), while in the Pearl River Delta there is a rolling filing period throughout the year.I suggest that people call the local Bureau of Information and Communication directly to confirm, and not believe rumors.
