About Teamwork Automation / FaTop
The people who build the line behind your motor
Since 1992, Teamwork Automation has designed and built the winding, insulation, insertion, fusing, balancing and testing equipment that turns copper and steel into finished motors. We supply single machines and complete turnkey lines to manufacturers who cannot afford a line that only works in the brochure.

Facility & engineering reality
Built and proven in Taichung before it ships
Every line is assembled and run on our own floor first. What you see at the factory acceptance test is the machine you receive — not a render.
Taichung assembly floor
Machines are fully built, wired and dry-run in-house so integration problems surface here, not on your floor.
R&D and controls lab
Mechanical design, PLC/HMI programming and process development under one roof, so tooling and control are tuned to your part.
Engineering & commissioning team
The engineers who design the line are the ones who commission it and train your operators.
How we de-risk a high-ticket line
What a global buyer actually needs to trust a supplier
FAT before it leaves
A documented Factory Acceptance Test on your parts, witnessed on-site or by video, against agreed cycle time and yield criteria before shipment.
SAT after it lands
Site Acceptance Test and commissioning at your plant, with sign-off on the same criteria under your power, air and material.
Overseas engineer dispatch
We send our own commissioning engineers worldwide for installation, run-off and operator training, and we handle their visa and travel logistics. Typical mobilisation is two to four weeks from site readiness.
Remote diagnostics
Every PLC-equipped machine supports secure remote access, so most software and parameter faults are diagnosed over the internet — often resolved without waiting for a site visit.
Spare parts & lead time
We supply a recommended spare-parts kit sized to your line and hold common wear items in stock, so routine replacements ship quickly rather than being built to order.
Warranty & documentation
One-year warranty from formal acceptance, subject to the final contract. It covers material and workmanship under normal use; consumables, unauthorised modification or parameter changes and missed scheduled maintenance are excluded, and any replacement parts fitted afterward carry their own one-year warranty. Delivery includes full operation manuals with I/O lists and electrical and pneumatic schematics, plus seaworthy export packing on wooden crates with vacuum wrapping.
History
Thirty-plus years, in the order it happened
-
1992–1993
The company opens in Taichung with a single purpose: take the manual work out of motor assembly. A winding machine is the first thing it builds.
-
2001
Individual machines give way to a linked line. It is the first of the plant projects that listed manufacturers would later bring us in on.
-
2005–2006
The TWM-702 armature winder becomes the machine most Taiwanese motor plants of its class are running.
-
2006
Sealing and testing equipment ships to a semiconductor customer. A second industry, held to a tighter tolerance than motors ask for.
-
2023–2024
A production line built specifically for drone motors. The second one goes to a customer in the United States.
-
2023–2024
Hairpin stator work starts, prototyping with customers. Hairpin is what EV traction motors are wound with, so this is where the next decade is.
-
2025–2026
FaTop Automation opens as the route for buyers outside Taiwan to reach us directly.
International buyer FAQ
The questions purchasing and engineering ask us first
Straight answers for buyers evaluating a turnkey partner from overseas. Where a number depends on the project, we say so rather than quote a figure we cannot stand behind.
Do you run a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) before shipment?
Yes. We agree measurable criteria — cycle time, first-pass yield, defect handling — and demonstrate them on your parts on our floor. You can attend in person or witness by live video, and we provide the FAT report.
What about Site Acceptance Test (SAT) and installation?
We commission the line at your plant and re-run the acceptance criteria under your utilities and materials. You provide rigging, utilities and consumables; on-site commissioning typically runs one to two weeks depending on line scope.
Can you send engineers overseas for installation and training?
Yes. We dispatch our own engineers worldwide for installation, run-off and operator training, and we handle visa and travel logistics. Typical mobilisation is two to four weeks from site readiness.
What are typical lead times?
Lead time depends on specification and current backlog: roughly eight to sixteen weeks for a single standard machine, and four to eight months for a modular or turnkey line.
How is after-sales support handled across time zones?
Support is by email and phone during Taiwan business hours (GMT+8), with secure remote access to PLC-equipped machines for fast diagnosis between visits.
What is the warranty?
One year from formal acceptance, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal use. Consumables and wear parts, unauthorised modification or parameter changes, and missed scheduled maintenance are excluded. Replacement parts fitted after the warranty carry their own one-year warranty. Exact terms follow the final order contract.
What payment terms and currency do you work in?
We typically work in USD, on T/T with staged milestones tied to order, shipment and acceptance; letters of credit can be arranged for larger orders. Final terms are set in the order contract.
Can the line integrate with our MES / data systems?
Our lines carry barcode and laser marking for unit-level traceability, and production data is collected centrally with a live floor board showing line state. Data export and MES / OPC-UA integration are configured to your plant's systems.
Do you protect our process and IP?
Yes. We work under NDA and do not disclose customer processes, part geometries or line photographs. That is also why our public references are anonymized.
