Reinventing the art of transmission technology
Gearboxes are used in a very wide range of industrial fields. This important piece of equipment transmits mechanical power. The breakdown of a gearbox would have serious implications, therefore extremely high reliability is demanded.
Sales Manager Stanley Liu of Li Xiang Mach & Elec Co. Ltd talked to International Metalworking News for Asia about the company's latest innovations, ensuring that its designs closely match customer needs.
"Backed by over 40 years of gear and transmission experience, the company is known by its brand, PEI GONG. Li Xiang’s gear manufacturing capabilities gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your gearbox or transmission system is in the hands of true professionals," Liu said.
The company designs and manufactures worm gear reducers, helical gear reducers, planetary gear reducers, gear motors, screw jacks, miter reducer, and so on. Recently, Li Xiang has reached out to initiate various applications in the automation technology.
“The Screw Jack System is the new product series we released this year. We have developed a long experience in transmission technology, and is currently tapping the automation components industry,” he disclosed. According to Liu, the spiral lift jack P series has the feature to reduce noise, while increasing speed and precision rate. It is widely applied in ball screws. He explained, “The spiral jacks offer different sizes to fulfil the request of various automation production lines.”
The goal of Li Xiang is to position itself as a total solution provider of the ever-advancing transmission technology. “We also target the transmission industry’s niche market; and plan to carry out projects, such as designing reducers for robots, which is a highly complex including high precision techniques. We wish to become an expert in offering the solution for reducers in robotic knuckles,” he added.
Machining strength recognised by Germans
“The emphasis on using top tier machines for manufacturing Li Xiang’s products is one of our most important commitment to quality. Fortunately, we have been recognised by clients across the globe with our excellent products. The result was specifically fruitful last year at the Hannover Messe,” Stanley remarked. He shared the experience of cooperating with a German client who produces gear boxes as well. The German company was searching for new suppliers for their own production. After several factory visits for both parties, Li Xiang has increased its knowledge from its German counterpart. On the other hand, the client has expressed its satisfaction by Li Xiang’s quality control and production capacity. The only concern was the access to raw materials, and having a stable source of supply in Taiwan. After a number of trials and tests to ensure the stability of raw materials, Li Xiang became a supplier of the German company.
Speaking of this latest experience, Liu summarised, “This is a firm recognition, which represents the progress of Li Xiang and our determination to improve. It is definitely an encouragement for the following inventions that we are planning on. Lastly, we will remain committed to delivering the best quality products to our niche markets.”

METALEX Vietnam (11-13 Oct. 2018)
Booth : Hall 104, BY14 www.metalexvietnam.com
Oscarmax introduces new EDM technologies
ROBOT-180 + S860 CMAX 2
Oscarmax focused on three major technologies that they introduced this year during the recent IMTS exhibition in Chicago.
The first product series is CNCW, a micro drill EDM featuring auto guide changer. The process is able to reach complete automation only with one single button and the machining would complete the process of running through tool changer to guide changer.The company started developing medium to large EDMs as opposed to its previous equipment that focuses on tables. Oscarmax enhanced its design of advanced moving columns to compensate larger machining purposes.
The second introduction is using CNCW microdrill EDM integrate CAM software, it could accurately locate the micro drilling hole from the 3D graphs. This particular software is programmed by SIEMENS CAM, which automatically transfers the EDM process parameters and machining details including the hole’s depth and width according to past machining data. This substantially eliminates the time spent for engineers in reading graphs and calculating parameters. It would open up the spaces for users to place their focus on designing higher end molds. This new version of microdrill EDM are mostly facilitated in the ICT industry, their customer include Hong Hai
The third innovation is the multi electrode ATC system that can accommodate 80 tools, with the robotic arms and guideways, the EDM is able to communicate with all three parties, with automated feeding systems. This setup achieves the goal of highly automation in the new concept of factories.
The greatest upgrade that Oscarmax completed in the previous seasons is their strength in engraving E.D.M. The manufacturing cell is designed with two EDMs with the new tool changer that can place 80 tools, and together with robotic arms and linear guideways, the entire cell can continuously work for five days. This manufacturing cell has also been customized for an aerospace manufacturer in Taiwan. The degree of automation is expected to save over 40% of labour resource.
Oscarmax keeps its innovation pace steady, and the technologies have gained them greater audiences across the globe. They experienced growth in the U.S. in the mid-higher tier equipment, while the supply of mid-tier products are popular among India and Vietnam. Next year, Egypt will become a focal location as well, they have obtained reliable partnerships with local agents and thus ready to ship both equipment and front-line engineers there for training.

What to see in IMNA's October issue
Is it possible to innovate without
boundaries? October cover story welcomes the age of ubiquitous innovation. Siemens
President and CEO Tony Hemmelgarn explained the transformative business value of the digital enterprise that can
only be realised by dissolving the boundaries between people, processes and
applications. The company is integrating software applications into new solutions that reflect and
support customers’ pursuit of more ubiquitous innovation.
The
recently concluded International Metalworking Philippines 2018 received an
overwhelming responses from the international exhibitors. More than 85% of
exhibitors are foreign companies, and 24% of these exhibitors are exhibiting in
the Philippines for the very first time.
Also in
this issue, automation systems for tube processing have repeatedly been a
subject in many discussions. At present it is fair to expect that the
mechanical engineering sector will have to consolidate after a period of strong
demand. The trend towards adopting automation techniques will continue and more
strongly so.
Metal
Cutting section explores machining concepts for today’s future mobility. In
view of the expected dynamic development of e-mobility, the automotive-related
machine tool industry is confronted by challenges in terms of machine concepts
and production processes, which need to be solved using innovative approaches.
This
month’s show preview section highlights two tradeshows: TMTS in Taichung,
Taiwan and METALEX in Bangkok, Thailand. Exhibitors of these two shows are
ready to present their latest technologies and products to optimise
manufacturing processes, and to meet the changing demands and conditions of
factories.
Elsewhere in this issue talks of
manufacturers no longer taking a rear-view mirror approach to machining. It’s
time for user-friendly solutions that provide insight
on hundreds of parameters for truly efficient machining.
Finally, let’s end on a quote from Mark Weiser, Chief Scientist at Xerox, Father of Ubiquitous Computing: “The
most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into
the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.”
