TAIPEI, Aug. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta, a world-class provider of power management and industrial automation solutions, has announced its participation in the Taipei International Industrial Automation Exhibition 2022 (Automation Taipei 2022) with the theme of "Sustainable Smart Manufacturing for a Changing World". With its focus on "Smart Factory Solutions", Delta is exhibiting topics including "Smart Machine Building & Integration", "Process Automation", and "Smart Automation Products". During the exhibition, Delta is introducing new solutions for the high-speed fluid industry, which adopts magnetic levitation technologies to avoid bearing friction loss when the fluid machine transfers high rotating speed to flow and pressures and to achieve high speed, high efficiency, and energy saving. Besides, Delta is integrating warehouse management and material control systems and presenting a comprehensive smart warehouse logistics solution to fulfill customers' growing needs for intralogistics. In addition, Delta is also showcasing the innovative power solutions for smart manufacturing under the theme of "Empower Your Smart Green Factory", and highlighted the industrial power supplies with up to 95% efficiency, the wireless charging system for AGVs, and the on-line 1U rack uninterrupted power supply (UPS).

Andy Liu, general manager of Delta's Industrial Automation Business Group (IABG), pointed out that since many global agencies have proposed carbon emission policies and goals, energy saving and sustainability have become keywords in the industry and are affecting manufacturers' decision-making for the future. Observing this trend, Delta has leveraged its more than half-century of solid technical capabilities and extensive experience in green manufacturing and has introduced multiple energy-saving products, such as the Advanced Multi-axis AC Servo System ASDA-W3, which integrates multi-axis control and features modular design and reuses regenerative power for production efficiency enhancement and environmental sustainability. Also, the Open-loop Variable-torque Standard Drive with the PdM (predictive maintenance) of key components to help users pre-schedule maintenance for stable operation.

Jimmy Yiin, general manager of Delta's Power and System Business Group (PSBG), said that carbon reduction and net zero are the mega trends for manufacturing industry, and power solutions need to keep enhancing in terms of efficiency, power density, stability and scalability. To meet the demands of global customers, Delta never ceased the pace of innovation on power solutions, and the recently launched industrial wireless charging system for AGVs and AMRs is a good example to upgrade equipment and realize smart, autonomous logistics in factories. Delta will continue to launch more advanced power solutions with high efficiency, stability and energy savings to ensure a sustainable development and greener world.

Energy saving is equivalent to carbon emissions reduction for manufacturing production. Above all, fluid control is one of the applications attracting increased awareness of its industrial carbon emissions. In response, Delta is presenting the brand new High-Speed Fluid Machinery Solution at Automation Taipei 2022. The solution adopts magnetic levitation technologies, which avoid bearing friction loss when the fluid machine transfers high rotating speed to flow and pressures. Compared to traditional volume-type compressors, the refrigerating capacity is higher under the same energy-consumption conditions. Besides high speed, high efficiency, and energy saving, the solution features a direct drive structure and one-button tuning function, which helps save space and tuning time. In addition to water, electricity, oil, and gas control, Delta is exhibiting green solutions such as for water purifying and HVAC to help customers plan for smart green upgrades and achieve new age sustainable smart manufacturing.

In terms of smart factory and machine building, Delta is demonstrating loading/unloading solutions for the electronics industry, 5-axis machining and automatic loading/unloading solutions for the machine tool industry, a rubber & plastics industry solution, and its widely applied servo press solution. Besides these industry solutions, Delta is also exhibiting its Smart Warehousing & Logistics Solution for electronics assembly and other production involving many materials. Integrating the Warehousing Management System DIAWMS and Material Control System DIAMCS, the solution syncs warehousing equipment and material data to provide a dashboard with yield statistic analytics for dynamic warehousing systematic management and transparent inventory status. As to logistics on smart production lines, Delta's MOOVair Series Wireless Charging System realizes fully autonomous charging for AGVs.

Delta is also presenting its Smart Automation Products and Application Packs, that includes drives, servo systems, PLC motion control systems, sensors, meters, machine vision, and others, including the newly debuted Advanced Multi-axis AC Servo System ASDA-W3, Open-loop Variable-torque Standard Drive VP3000, and CODESYS Motion Controller AX-2 and AX-3. At Delta's booth, visitors can also see demos of its Linear Motor Driven Mini Rotary Actuator LPR for electrics parts assembly, semiconductor assembly and testing, and Z-axis production precision applications in the optical lens industry. The LPR is capable of simultaneous linear and rotational functions operation and features a soft-landing function, which makes it suitable for fast, precise, and stable positioning with precise force control. Another demo highlight is the Linear Motor Type Insertion Machine DI-H100, which adopts Delta's self-developed linear motors and encoders with zero friction and zero backlash features. The DI-H100 can complete high speed and high precision motion and supports multiple imported materials packaging and supply. There are also more demos at Delta's booth for visitors to gain a vivid understanding of smart factory operations.

During Automation Taipei 2022, Delta will arrange three booth tour sessions and two seminars every day. The seminars will cover the topics of servo screwdriver applications, digital transformation guides for machine makers, SMT solution packs, auto-warehouse logistics, green smart facility solutions, and others. Delta welcomes press and visitors from different fields to come to its booth at Automation Taipei 2022 (booth N802, Hall 1, Nangang Exhibition Center) to learn more about smart manufacturing and ways to achieve a sustainable future.
