General Comment on the Product
The product suits a large range of batch sizes for package dyeing. The newly designed REV Pump provides a very high flow rate and allows parallel counter flow direction of discharge and suction. The highly efficient double-flow heat exchanger is integrated with the pump. The REV Pump, simplified pipe works and flow direction reduce the machine size, the liquor ratio (can be low as 4.00), associated running costs, and noise generated. Newly designed reversal device simplifies the maintenance procedures. Larger batch sizes can be processed with two machines coupled together. The new controller is user-friendly, upgradeable, and accurately control the dyeing temperature with adaptive fuzzy logic.

General Comment on the Product:
This product is a lead-free solder paste precision printing system, which is applied for the SMT assembly equipment such as the product process of mobile phone and computer motherboard. It features a patented 3D integrated float table over the conventional X-Y-T triple layered structure. The new design enables a lighter and thinner system with a shortened distance of travel, giving rise to enhanced controllability, longer durability, and easier loading and unloading operations. It also features and automatic cleaning system, ergonomics designs, and a suspension type squeegee mechanism. Comparable to the performance of the top models form Japan and Europe, but at appreciably lower price ratio. The machine embeds a window-based graphical user interface with Chinese-language ability, among others, to cater for the foreseeable demand in China.

General comments on the product
The motor controller and driver integrate a high performance motion control and servo amplifier with compact size suitable to industrial environment. Both the controller and driver are digital and are applicable to many types of servomotors such as DC motors, DC brushless motors and AC servo. The motor controller provides 3-axes control, PID with velocity, acceleration and jerk feedforward. Furthermore, a user-friendly interface has been designed for controller and motor setting, current and position loop tuning and diagnostics. The product has application in SMT machines, CNC machine tools and PC bonding machines. There is a big market potential in China where access to this type of technology is very limited.

General comments on the product
It is a machine for measuring the dimensions of a product- a critical step in reverse engineering. It is a superbly innovated machine with the key technological development of a scanning probe which is based on a parallel shift, kinematic approach to compensate for the displacement of the probe caused by contact with the in-situ measurement surface. This approach utilizes optical displacement sensors in multiple axes to register the three dimensional deflections of the contact probe; it is a technological advancement over the traditional load-cell based probe. It uses real-time algorithms to compute the actual 3D coordinates of the probe-surface contact point. Moreover, the machine is very cost effective.
