【Tongtai】
Starting
as a specialized machine manufacturer, Tongtai celebrates its 55th year this
year and has become the leading machine tool manufacturer with the most
extensive product line in Taiwan. Continuing the company's central axis of
development through the concept of "Intelligence, Automation, Hybrid, Net
zero, Servitization, New Industries, and New Processes" and introducing
seven solutions, the company has initiated a two-axis transformation plan of
digital and green transformation. It is firmly moving forward toward the goal
of building an intelligent ecosystem of machine tools. Tongtai displays three
machines during TMTS2024, including the MT-1500 Parallel Dual-Spindle
Dual-Turret CNC Lathe, the HTT-500 Horizontal 5-Axis Machining Center, and the
VP-12 Vertical Machining Center. The MT-1500 integrates a loading and unloading
robot, dual spindles, and dual turrets for simultaneous machining. The design
doubles production efficiency and provides a perfect solution for the machining
industry's workforce shortage. The MT series features a smaller footprint,
short travel distances, minimal idle time, and minimal thermal displacement.
The TiOperator software enables the MT series to achieve efficient 24-hour
operation effortlessly. The HTT-500 is the latest intensive production
solution. It has an intelligent chip flushing system and an APC(auto pallet
changer) system. It can also measure and compensate for spatial accuracy,
solving the customer's difficulties in five-face machining. In contrast, the
VP-12 is the individual machine with the robot and AGV transportation that
enables unmanned material replenishment, meeting the demand for high efficiency
and precision machining. In recent years, Tongtai has developed various
intelligent software to help the operator grasp the data during machining by utilizing
the machine and multiple sensors. It has a friendly operator interface, making
production management more intuitive.
Another highlight of Tongtai this year is that it leads the integration
of technology and art by introducing a pure titanium decanter for red wine
entirely made from 3D printing. Additive
manufacturing is a production method that, in contrast to the traditional
subtraction process, can directly process a 3D digital model into a physical
component. This process is colloquially known as “3D-printing”. Utilizing
the Tongtai AMP-160 metal powder bed fusion machine achieves intricate
structures that conventional industrial processes cannot accomplish. Applying
Bernoulli's principle of fluid dynamics and diversion design, the decanter
facilitates better flow and oxidation of red wine within it. Meanwhile, using
pure titanium material enhances safety and health assurance during decanting.
The exterior design takes inspiration from the Year of the Dragon,
incorporating elements of dragon pillars from the authoritative art restoration
of the Taiwan temple (TSJ Art Restoration), showcasing the perfect fusion of
industry and culture. This decanter is a functional product and an artwork that
combines artistry and creativity, allowing you to experience the charm of
traditional Chinese culture while enjoying wine.
【Honor Seiki】
Honor Seiki is dedicated to large component machining for
energy industries with intelligent vertical lathe solutions. Utilizing
"Hard turning" technology for process integration of slewing bearings
significantly enhances customers' production efficiency by over 20%. Honor
Seiki's wind power solution has expanded up to 6-meter vertical lathes,
suitable for machining large-scale castings, thus contributing to the
localization of Taiwan's wind industry. Furthermore, Honor Seiki has achieved
significant progress in the clean energy sector, particularly in hydrogen
energy industry processing.
The company has successfully entered the European market,
collaborating with key customers to enhance automation and intelligence
processes and thereby improve product value and services. This collaboration
also enhances customer processing and production efficiency, resulting in a
mutually beneficial outcome.
【APEC】
Asia-Pacific
Elite Corp. (APEC) has cultivated the aerospace market for nearly 20 years.
APEC takes "Aiming at aerospace solutions" as the brand's core spirit
and provides excellent application support and customized solutions to high-end
customers. Asia-Pacific Elite Corp. presented its latest development at the
exhibition, the 5-axis milling-turning machining center G800T. This machine
features a compact body size, combining milling and turning processes,
providing a new solution for small-scale precision machining. The vertical
structure of the G800T breaks through the limitations of traditional lathe
processing, allowing for smoother transitions from turning to milling without
the need to move the workpiece, thus reducing processing time and human errors.
Customers can efficiently complete tasks without switching processing workflows,
enjoying a more modern machining experience.
【QuickTECH】
QuickTECH presents the i-42 Ultimate Multi-tasking turning
center, the best engineering-intensive solution, which is particularly suitable
for the medical biotechnology industry. Various medical-related parts such as
spinal components, medical screws, hip joint components, and cervical bone
plates can be manufactured by this machine. It features 24 milling tools and 25
turning tools, a dual-program, twin spindles operating system. Its multi-axis
compound turning and milling capabilities allow for completing complex part
processing in one machine, enabling fully automated processing and significant
time savings. QuickTECH provides efficient medical-grade complex parts
processing solutions, enhancing overall production efficiency and quality.
