This year, the results of the 20th Taichung Golden Hand Awards have been released. Although this year was affected by the epidemic, the number of applicants for this year's selection has reached the largest number in history. The winning lineup was exceptionally strong. After rigorous selection, a total of 20 small and medium-sized enterprises with outstanding performance won this honor in this year's selection. Mayor Lu Xiuyan not only affirmed the outstanding performance of the award-winning companies, but also personally presented awards on November 5, publicly commending the award-winning companies.Mayor Lu Xiuyan said that the Taichung Golden Hand Award is the only economic award in the country established by the local government, and it is the highest honor in the economic field. Many SMEs in the manufacturing industry are hidden champions, and their hard work should be recognized.Among the award-winning manufacturers this year, Tokugawa Machinery, which is famous for its high-precision rotary table, is not only the best backing for domestic machine tool factories, but also provides a series of high-precision components and successfully develops the global market. The quality is well received by foreign customers. It has been highly affirmed by the designated suppliers of major international first-class brand machine tool factories. This year, it stood out from the selection of many Golden Hand Award manufacturers. This year's Taichung City Golden Hand Award is well deserved.detron Dechuan Machinery was established in 2006, dedicated to the production of CNC turntables, the whole process is made in Taiwan. Not only uses ERP standard operating procedures to control large-scale production, but also strictly implements high-standard quality inspection, the product has become the CNC turntable designated by the world's first-class brand machine tool factoryThis time, Jiang Lihua, deputy general manager of Dechuan Machinery, took the stage to accept the award. He said that the Tokugawa spirit is "virtuous in the world, the sea is inclusive of all rivers". Since its establishment, our business philosophy has always been based on the principle of "integrity". .We believe that as long as we uphold integrity and enterprising spirit, we will definitely become the largest CNC turntable manufacturer in Taiwan with the best products.Vice President Jiang also emphasized that Tokugawa will continue to invest in innovative R&D in the future, recruit senior technicians from Taiwan and Japan to join the R&D team, commit to advanced application technology and mechanical integration engineering, improve machining efficiency, create new value for customers, and become a major machine tool The best backing of the factory. 04:102021/11/09 Business Times Huang Junrong

The introduction of automation equipment has consistently been at the core of development in Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, providing an effective solution to the challenging issue of labor shortages by substituting machinery for manual labor. Using robotic arms to replace human workers in environments with high repeatability and high risk significantly reduces the chances of occupational safety incidents. This is particularly relevant in traditional sheet metal processing plants with challenging working conditions, greatly enhancing the safety of operators and serving as a boon to employee health and occupational safety. This year, the Thai subsidiary of the Syntec Group assisted an international sheet metal factory in Bangkok in implementing automated production equipment. The company faced a major challenge as its production scale continued to grow annually, yet it operated within the constraints of its existing facility size. This resulted in employees having to process a vast and diverse range of sheet materials in a space that was insufficiently utilized and poorly lit, using methods that were not ergonomic.In response to this challenge, the Syntec x Leantec Thailand branch utilized the Leantec LRA-1717 Six-joint Robotic Arm equipped with sensors and peripheral feeding devices. This series of arms can easily pick up and place approximately 3.0 kg of sheet material in just 3 seconds, equivalent to the capability of four operators and can operate continuously throughout the day. This doubles processing efficiency and, more importantly, creates a safer and more friendly working environment.    To address this challenge innovatively, the Syntec Thailand team conceived an autonomous robot station capable of accurately picking up metal sheets and placing them on trays. Considering the need for versatility in handling different-sized sheets, a universal vacuum gripper for metal sheets was installed on the robotic arm, easily adjustable to accommodate various dimensions. Additionally, the Syntec Thailand team provided a customized user interface to make programming and controlling the robot user-friendly for operators.  Figure 1: Porters work in difficult and uncomfortable conditions  Figure 2: Introduction of robotic arms to reduce the handling work of four operators In a significant move aimed at prioritizing employee health and safety, sheet metal industry players are embracing cutting-edge technology. Thanks to the recent factory upgrade initiative, not only has production efficiency doubled, but it also aligns with the energy-saving, carbon-reduction, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) benefits promoted vigorously by government policies in recent years. The upcoming article will delve into the advantages of carbon footprint reduction when employing robotic arms compared to human labor. Stay tuned for an in-depth exploration of this pivotal topic.

Did you know?Under the same number of door operations, linear motor automatic doors can save 55.6% more energy compared to pneumatic cylinder automatic doors!​In addition to significantly saving energy and electricity costs and reducing carbon emissions, linear motor automatic doors stop immediately when the track has accumulated chips, or workpieces have fallen, causing the motor current to overload and trigger the protection mechanism, reducing personnel injury and maintenance frequency.​Linear motor automatic doors can enhance the efficiency of automated production lines. They seamlessly continue the operation after closing, reducing downtime of the production line. Additionally, during a shutdown, pneumatic cylinder automatic doors need to release pressure before opening, whereas linear motor automatic doors can be easily opened. In factories where time is money, reducing waiting time is crucial.Watch how it works here
