ISMR : Are there any products / technologies / services that you have released or are releasing this year ( including for EuroBLECH ) that you would like to discuss ?
ST : Our HST series of straightside high-speed precision presses is a new product launched this year . It is mainly used in multi-station , precision production lines for new energy vehicle motor chips . The HST series can integrate a stacker , straightener , feeder and automatic riveting stacking devices into a complete automated production line .
With a maximum capacity of 400 tons and a maximum table width of 3700mm , it meets the current international specifications for stamping equipment required for new energy vehicle motor chip production . The equipment precision of JIS Super Grade 1 / 2 satisfies the stamping trend of motor chip materials with thicknesses of 0.15mm and 0.2mm , reducing motor eddy current losses , weight and volume , thereby improving motor efficiency .
The Chin Fong iForming intelligent production management system enables real-time equipment and production line information . Through a visual management dashboard , timely equipment maintenance and production scheduling management can be performed , providing real-time production status monitoring . This ensures efficient process management and increases equipment unit productivity .
The HST press series
The HST series of straightside highspeed precision presses is equipped with an intuitive graphical colour human-machine interface ( HMI ) and an intelligent protection system . AIoT intelligent networking enhances overall production process data management and analysis , improving humanmachine interaction modes . The HST series also employs multiple safety loop protection devices , using visual monitoring systems and sensors to monitor the production environment in real-time . Abnormalities trigger immediate alarms to protect operators ’ safety , ensure product stability and increase production efficiency .
The multi-point plunger guide design significantly reduces eccentric load and deflection during multi-station continuous stamping , increasing product precision . The frame is entirely made of FCD ductile cast iron , absorbing high-speed stamping vibrations . It undergoes annealing treatment to eliminate internal stresses , ensuring structural stability . The HST series features eight-sided , highhardness bearing steel guide plates , roller bearings in the slide guide paths and extended bearing support distances , ensuring stability during high-speed reciprocating movements , surpassing JIS Super Grade static and dynamic precision .
The machine structure design is optimised using “ Finite Element Analysis ”, complemented by a constant temperature lubrication cooling system to reduce the impact of thermal deformation on equipment precision . This ensures the rigidity required for the stamping process and meets the forming characteristics of special materials . The HST series is suitable for thinner silicon steel stator and rotor products , enhancing new energy motor performance and reducing eddy current losses .
ISMR : How are you leveraging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence ( AI ); Augmented Reality ( AR ); Big Data and Virtual Reality ( VR ) etc . for your business ?
ST : In terms of artificial intelligence and Big Data applications , Chin Fong has developed a PHM ( Prognostics and Health Management ) system that can evaluate whether equipment requires maintenance by detecting vibrations .
For AR ( Augmented Reality ) and VR ( Virtual Reality ) applications , the use of 3D modelling ( combined with AR and VR technology ) allows our sales team to conveniently introduce new products and operational models to customers .
