EVs (electric vehicles) are attracting attention as a new industry in Thailand. Thailand's plan calls for the deployment of 1.2 million EVs by 2036 and for Thailand to become a hub for electric vehicle and battery manufacturing.
As a trading company specializing in machinery and equipment, MC Technos (Thailand) provides solutions that contribute to EV manufacturing in Thailand. In this article, together with Mr. Suzuki of engineering manufacturer NST Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NST), which specializes in the design and manufacturing of EV inspection equipment, we will introduce about collaboration between the two companies and its strengths.
One-of-a-kind EV-specific equipment development We will help you from the creation of requirement specifications!
Our meticulous service in the development of EV-related specialized equipment is made possible by our collaboration with NST, which boasts high technological capabilities in the areas of inspection, measurement, and machine control.
✔ Help you from the planning stage (a proposal submission)
✔ Develop new products from scratch
✔ Design an optimal system model
✔ Provide services equivalent to Japan in Thailand
✔ Guarantee long-term maintenance support
Features of NST
◎ Supports customization that major manufacturers do not respond to
◎ Engineers account for 70% of employees and have specialized knowledge in various fields
For example, in "EV inspection equipment," NST supports development and commercialization of motors, batteries, inverters, etc., based on a thorough understanding of their properties. In addition, the company can respond precisely to the needs of each process, such as for R&D/production lines.
NST's inspection equipment used in all processes
Among EV inspections, there are many consultations related to motors, and the applications can be divided as follows for production lines and R&D.
■ Inspection items for EV motors
| For production | For R&D |
|---|---|
| Motor inspection equipment (In-line) | Resolver phase measurement |
| Resolver measurement/adjustment | Torque property evaluation bench |
| Static property inspection unit | Cogging torque/ripple measurement |
| Property inspection | Resolver property evaluation equipment |
| Motor noise and vibration detection unit | Neutral point box |
The inspection process for the production lines can be further subdivided as shown in the figure below.
Among EV-related systems, NST is one of the few manufacturers in Japan that can subdivide inspections according to application and provide in-house one-stop services from development to production.
Resolver measurement and adjustment made easy! Reso-Meter®
One of the most revolutionary products is the resolver phase measuring instrument Reso-Meter® It is a unit that can easily and accurately measure the current angle of the resolver and the angle misalignment between the motor and resolver with an unprecedented adjustment method.
A rotation angle sensor for controlling the driving motor that powers EVs and construction machinery. High energy efficiency can be achieved by assembling the motor and resolver with high accuracy.
With traditional adjustment methods:
Measurement｜External drive device required
Accuracy｜Adjusted by eye by looking at oscilloscope waveform
Space｜A part of equipment - difficult to take out
With the Reso-Meter®
Even without any knowledge of resolvers, one can easily and accurately adjust the angle by simply turning the motor by hand and adjusting the numerical values.
✔ High accuracy｜Quantification is possible with an accuracy of ±0.1°
✔ Compact｜Lightweight, compact, and portable
We will work together with our customers from the very beginning of development to expand the Thai EV (automobile) industry!
EV manufacturing is an area where there are many unknowns even for automobile manufacturers. When it comes to specialized machines for this purpose, many manufacturing companies are at a standstill at the stage of drawing up specifications. In Thailand, MC Technos will fully support customers as a contact point. Our strength lies not only in our standard products such as "ResoMeter®︎" but also in our ability to support development from the scratch, starting from the creation of requirement specifications, to commercialization.
“We are a Japanese manufacturer with no overseas bases, and we would like to collaborate with MC Technos, which has strength in local support, as a contact point for providing products and services for Thailand in the EV field. While R&D equipment is one of our areas of expertise, we would like to actively contribute to mass production in Thailand by collaborating with local manufacturers to create ‘a production line that achieves both quality and cost reductions’," says Mr. Suzuki of NST.
