This year we tried to promote LFV technology that is the particular technology of Citizen by using with A20 and L12 machine. These can operate with the complex material such as SS304 and aluminum. In the various process of cutting, it might cause the tie of chips problem. As following, we’d like to let the customers see the difference between cutting process by using LFV technology and without LFV. Therefore, we brought the actual chips to display this time.
For the exhibition, we saw many customers that don’t know the LFV technology. This made us want to improve the way to communicate LFV technology in the ASEAN market. Moreover, the other solutions of Citizen also have been displayed there as
1. Automatic Measuring Device in-Machine on L12 with probe of Metrol
2. Operation monitoring system function: with Fanuc MT-Link-I and Machining solution such as hobbing spindle for gear machining, 4X time spindle and NMB-Wavy Nozzle

For 4 days of exhibition, there are many customers come to visit Citizen booth both of Thais and foreigners all the day. This year, we met the Vietnamese and Indian customers more than the other countries. When comparing with our competitors, the customers are interested in our products more. Especially the solutions that we bring as mentioned. As per talking to the customers and visitors, they were looking for the new solutions of operation process for enhance the efficient production.
The exhibition made us feel that the customers really trust in us. They brought their sample work pieces to consult with our engineer team, talking about the causes of problem, machine problems, how to skill up their staffs, the future solutions.
