7月29日东台精机技术应用中心与 CAD/CAM 整合软体以色列大厂SolidCAM 共同筹办SolidCAM Taiwan 加工技术实验室成立暨技术发表会，除了举办各式研讨会外，也针对航太、零件加工、模具加工三种产业进行技术分享，同时使用东台 CNC 车床、立式加工机、卧式加工机、五轴加工机、雕铣机等七种机型进行实际切削展演，让客户了解这套近年来公认发展最佳的CAM 软体。
New strategy partner, SolidCAM, exhibits latest technology in Tongtai T-TAC today. Today’s activity includes several seminars and machining demonstration in Tongtai’s machines. Focus on three industries of aerospace, die & mold, and parts machining, through this activity, the visitors are able to understand more about this software. Also, by the applications of SolidCAM, it benefits on high efficiency during machining.
Don’t think Industry 4.0 is always complicated, Yen said
精密机械研究发展中心董事长、东台精机董事长严瑞雄在2016天下经济论坛，分享投入工业4.0两年的经验。他以务实角度分析，台湾制造业想问的，应该不是工业4.0是什么，而是我该怎么跨出第一步。
智慧工厂的目标是要合理化、省人化、自动化、无人化，但并非把机器人带到工厂中，所有问题就自动解决。在机器上安装感测器，抓出电流、电压、温度等资讯，透过机联网让我们得以取得更多生产线的资讯，让制造产品的效率更好。人们不再需要守着机台设备，专注在生产策略规划或改善，对制造业而言，就是往附加价值高的商业区域移动。
台湾有自己的优势与限制，设备在哪个等级都没关系，只要有向生产力4.0迈进就好，让设备商与客户一起补学分。
Mr. Yen, the Chairman of Tongtai, shared his experiences in Industry 4.0 development for 2 years in CWEF 2016. “Now the question of Industry 4.0 for Taiwanese manufacturers is how to get their foot in the door, instead of what the industry 4.0 is.”, Yen said.
The goal of intelligent factory is including labor saving. However, it’s not only to set-up robotic arm in the factory. Machine, which is another player in this game. To equip sensors in machines for getting information about electric current, voltage, and temperature, furthermore, by the technology of IoT, the manufacturers are able to get these information from production lines directly. All information will be used for improving production efficiency. It allows the customers are able to invest more resources in production strategies planning. In that time, the business model in Taiwanese manufacturing industry might be changed.
"Compared with other countries, Taiwan owns exclusive advantages and limitations. Let us learn and work together for Industry 4.0.", Yen said.
Tongtai's 3D printing technology steps in biomedical industry
工具机大厂东台精机应国研院邀请，成为国研医材创价联盟一员，由国研院仪器科技中心为联盟总部，3D金属打印机商东台精机以及由中钢投资的3D金属列印粉末商鑫科材料为其策略伙伴。东台精机董事长严瑞雄昨日出席由国研院主办的台湾生医科技进军国际市场启用仪式暨国研院／东台／中钢／鑫科材料之3D列印联合实验室揭牌仪式，台湾生医产业一条龙的国家队成军，东台也将与国研院，共同推动台湾生技医疗器材产业发展，加速国内应用基础的实验，全力挺进国际市场。
For implementing the goal of biomedical materials made in Taiwan, a strategy alliance has been developed by NARLabs (National Applied Research Laboratories). This alliance gathers upstream and downstream companies and Tongtai is a member. Yesterday, July 14th, a 3D printing laboratory was launched and it shows this alliance has initiated fast forward movement towards expanding Taiwan’s biotechnological medical supplies to global market. Tongtai’s PBF Additive Manufacturing Equipment, AM-250, is ready and believe this equipment will shorten the developing period of metal medical materials.
