With the rapid growth of the global electric vehicle market, research and development of the materials used in new electric vehicles has been accelerated. Improvements in infrastructure, such as an increase in the number of charging stations being used, has also become commonplace. When consumers buy electric vehicles, they hope to enjoy the convenience of being able to travel distances similar to those realized by internal combustion engine vehicles before needing to be refueled. So, the development of batteries with high storage capacity and short recharging times, as well as light-weight vehicle bodies that will reduce power consumption, has received much attention.

Injection molding machines, also, simply known as injection machines, are special machines for manufacturing plastic products. There are many types of injection molding machines, and they can be classified according to their power mode, mold opening and closing direction, applicable raw materials used, mold clamping structure, and injection structure.

A charging station is a device that supplies electric energy for electric vehicles (including pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles), similar to the gas station used in fuel vehicles. How does it work and in what scenarios? Let’s find out.

As a biproduct of the COVID pandemic, the global demand for telemedicine has increased significantly. An increased focus has been placed on the development of digital medical care to improve medical efficiency and provide comprehensive health coverage. Telemedicine care is set to become the "New Normal", and the integration of AI with medical technology will continue to accelerate this important trend in information flow.

Gears are mechanical parts with teeth that mesh with each other to transmit motion and power in mechanical equipment. Because the ratio of transmission in gears is set, their perfect accuracy makes them ideal for precision machinery.

When it comes to maintenance tools, many people strongly recommend electric tools. They come in many varieties, are easy to use, and have low prices, so are especially suitable for home use. There is another powerful and efficient category of tools that are widely used in the tool industry that operate by air pressure; pneumatic tools. So, what is the difference between the two, and how should one choose? Let’s compare.

A new generation of HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces) is replacing the traditional buttons, indicators and selectors used to control machines with updated technology and components that reduce the dependence on a large number of display panels and cables. HMIs reduce operating costs and their advanced functions enhance monitoring of equipment.

When reading or hearing about the semiconductor industry, we often hear the term wafer mentioned. But what exactly is a so-called wafer? What does an “8 inch” or “12 inch” wafer refer to? How difficult is it to produce large-sized wafers? The following is a step-by-step introduction to the most important foundation of semiconductors, the wafer.

A light sensor is a sensor that converts light signals into electrical signals using photosensitive elements. The light sensor is usually composed of both a light projector and light receiver. Light sensors are generally composed of three elements: a light source, an optical path and optoelectronic components. The measured optical changes are converted into changes in electronic signals with the help of photoelectric components. With the growth and development of Internet of Things technology, the application of light sensors is entering all aspects of daily life.

The valve is an important adjustment device used in fluid transportation systems. It can turn the flow on or off and control the rate and direction of flow of the fluid. There are many types and specifications of valves, with various work requirements. The working principles, advantages and disadvantages of five common types of valves are described is this article.

The technology for 3D printing of medical materials has soared. The new technique "Layered Manufacturing Technology", also known as 3D printing, which uses a layer-by-layer additive method to build products, has become popular in recent years. With the rapid advancement of 3D printing technology, the market for 3D printed medical materials has grown significantly.

Precision machining is the process of removing material from a workpiece to chang the dimensions or properties of the workpiece so that is can become a more precise product that will meet very exact specifications.

As electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles gradually gain popularity in the market, automotive electronic systems may become the key technology areas that are most valued by various electronic system suppliers. Advances in technologies such as electronic active suspension technology and electric vehicle drive systems in the automotive industry have continued to expand the application of power electronic systems in the automotive field.

Electronic components are divided into two categories, active and passive; the difference lies in whether or not power is required to drive them. Semiconductor components driven by an electric circuit, such as transistors and diodes are often referred to as active components, while components which play a supporting role, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc. are often referred to as passive. In recent years, a short supply of passive components in the market has drawn market attention to Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs). Because capacitance value is proportional to the surface area of the capacitor, the number of layers in a capacitor will affect the capacitance of the capacitor. Due to developments in ceramic film stacking technology, the capacitance value of MLCCs has increased significantly, and they are gradually replacing medium and low capacitance tantalum capacitors.

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is one of the main parts of all electronic products. The application fields of PCB are quite extensive. Wherever electronic components are used, PCBs are almost always used. Currently, they are mainly used in the fields of information, communication, consumer products, automobiles, aerospace and military, precision instruments and industrial products. They are an indispensable basic part of all electronic products. This article will be divided into several aspects to discuss PCBs, namely type, material, process, installation and welding. Let us have a good understanding of the "mother of the electronics industry" – the PCB.

According to GLOBAL TRADE ALTAS statistics, the boom of the rubber and plastics industry has rebounded due to the growth of the aerospace and automotive industries and the market demand for consumer goods. With the economic growth of Asian countries, the Asia-Pacific region has become the largest and fastest-growing region in the world's plastic and rubber industry. About 40% of plastic and rubber machinery is manufactured in Asia. The fourth industrial revolution combines machinery and information and communication, both of which are the most advantageous industries in Taiwan. Taiwan's plastic and rubber machinery industry combines these two advantages and applies smart manufacturing new business models to strengthen competitive advantages and seek to create niche points. New business opportunities have brought Taiwan's plastics and rubber machinery industry to a new peak.

Most of the transmission components used in the feed system used in precision machinery today use ball screws and linear slide rails, which can bring excellent feed positioning accuracy to the linear transmission. In fact, "transmission components" are not only "ball screws" or "linear slides", but the real "transmission components", because they are not only related to manufacturing, but also appear in life all the time.

Powder metallurgy uses metal powder as raw material, and forms it into a desired shape using a special processing technology. This processing technology is very similar to that used in the production of ceramics, so powder metallurgy techniques can also be used for the preparation and production of ceramic materials. This article will introduce the relevant technology of the powder metallurgy process in detail, and help the reader understand the advantages and disadvantages of the powder metallurgy process.
