Taiwan Excellence, an international campaign to promote Taiwan's products, will host the Taiwan Excellence smart machinery online press conference June 2 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. To assist global manufacturers in arranging industry upgrade and automation, Taiwan Excellence has invited eight of Taiwan's most iconic smart machinery companies to showcase their most advanced smart manufacturing solutions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has massively damaged the global manufacturing industry and made countries aware of the importance of industry upgrading. Taiwan's Smart Machinery industry, which is well-known for its significant precision technology and massive ICT integration, completed the seemingly impossible mission of establishing 92 mask product lines in 40 days, and boosted mask production from 1.88 million pieces to 17 million pieces a day. This achievement demonstrated Taiwan's industry's rapid response capabilities and flexible management, and made Taiwan the best option for reviving the world's manufacturing industry.
To familiarize global buyers with Taiwanese Smart Machinery, the press conference welcomes eight companies that represent the industry: HIWIN, FFG (Feeler), Solomon, Manford, Chin Fong, Grintimate, Tong Tai, and She Hong (Hartford). The conference will showcase the companies’ products and solutions including precision components, digitally-controlled machine tools, automation equipment and smart controlling systems. A new concept ‘Taiwan Excellence Smart Machinery Virtual Pavilion’ will also be launched at the press conference, which will showcase 60 magnificent Smart Machinery products from 50 Taiwan Excellence brands and allow buyers to check out superb smart machinery products at anytime and anywhere.
Introductions of iconic products from these eight companies are as follows:
HIWIN's DATORKER Robot Reducer provides stable repeatability and positioning of over 7,000 hours, in line with international standards. This makes HIWIN the world's third company to reach this standard. Reducer is widely used in robots, automation equipment, semiconductor equipment, and machine tools.
FEELER's new Smart Five-Axis Machining Center combines intelligent operation with stable functionality. It can create a remote connection to the Cloud platform that can read important information such as utilization rate, idle analysis, etc. The chatter suppression technique allows for a reduction in cutting vibration by adjusting spindle speed and feed rate.
SOLOMON's AccuPick 3D is an advanced 3D vision technology that enables robots to perform complex pick-and-place tasks, even when different object types are mixed. The system is compatible with all major robot brands. The state-of-the-art 3D optical module it uses ensures that picking is fast and accurate and covers a pick-up area as large as 2 m x 2 m.
MANFORD's VU-620 5-Axis Machining Center offers high speed, accuracy and reliable quality. The B/C-axis rotary operating table and linear guide methods provide high performance ductility and greater anti-vibration capability, and 90 percent less oil and 80 percent less electricity than the normal lubrication system and pump motor. For industry buyers, this machine is suitable for 3D cutting.
CHIN FONG's GTX Series Power Press is powered by a press-designated servo drive motor - high torque with full energy at low speed. Able to stabilize Slide's motion and tonnage, the free setting forming curve is available with ‘micro-inching’ in compliance with requirements for all kinds of forming - blanking, bending, drawing, extruding. Productivity is also greatly increased.
GRINTIMATE CTS-100 Grinder is equipped with an exclusive hydrostatic system that effectively improves the grinding efficiency of the transmission gear. Combined with high stiffness, low friction and no wear characteristics, the grinding wheel can be widened to 300 mm with one-feeding grinding, which can massively simplify the grinding process and shorten the process time to 45 seconds.
TONGTAI's ‘SP-5000P’ A horizontal five-axis machining center is developed to provide excellent machining performance for aluminum alloy parts. The two-axis tilting and rotary table, with a high-speed double DD motor drive, can be handled at all complex angles. High-precision tapered positioning pins ensure stability and a strong clamping force during machine processes.
HARTFORD's Hartrol Premium Controller has highly optimized and easy-to-control features that bring more capabilities and productivity to your metal-cutting processes. Its remote management system enables you to check the machine's status and adjust it as required. While machining, multi-touch screen also makes programming easier and faster.
The Conference will be held online at 8:30 - 10:30 on June 2, 2020.

Related Glossary Terms
- chatter
chatter
Condition of vibration involving the machine, workpiece and cutting tool. Once this condition arises, it is often self-sustaining until the problem is corrected. Chatter can be identified when lines or grooves appear at regular intervals in the workpiece. These lines or grooves are caused by the teeth of the cutter as they vibrate in and out of the workpiece and their spacing depends on the frequency of vibration.
- ductility
ductility
Ability of a material to be bent, formed or stretched without rupturing. Measured by elongation or reduction of area in a tensile test or by other means.
- feed
feed
Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.
- grinding
grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
- grinding wheel
grinding wheel
Wheel formed from abrasive material mixed in a suitable matrix. Takes a variety of shapes but falls into two basic categories: one that cuts on its periphery, as in reciprocating grinding, and one that cuts on its side or face, as in tool and cutter grinding.
- machining center
machining center
CNC machine tool capable of drilling, reaming, tapping, milling and boring. Normally comes with an automatic toolchanger. See automatic toolchanger.
- stiffness
stiffness
1. Ability of a material or part to resist elastic deflection. 2. The rate of stress with respect to strain; the greater the stress required to produce a given strain, the stiffer the material is said to be. See dynamic stiffness; static stiffness.
