To underscore the significance of industry-academic collaboration in technical institutions, the Ministry of Education has inaugurated the esteemed "National Industry-Academic Master Award." This prestigious accolade was bestowed upon three distinguished individuals for their exceptional contributions. Among the winners, Bor-Tsuen Lin, dean of the College of Engineering at the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, developed an innovative "stamping die automation design system", his innovative approach drastically reduced working hours from 30 hours to 5 hours, earning him the title of Taiwan's highly regarded promoter of the Mold Kingdom. Bor-Tsuen Lin, is actively collaborating with the government's "Indigenous aircraft design and building" initiative, fostering a new generation of talent for the aerospace industry.
Dean Bor-Tsuen Lin of the School of Engineering at Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology has been honored with the inaugural "National Outstanding Contribution Award Industry-university cooperation", served in "China Motor Corporation" for 7 years, upon his transition to academia, Dean Bor-Tsuen Lin dedicated himself to fostering industry-university partnerships, focusing his research on the refinement, automation, and intelligence enhancement of stamping dies, his significant contributions have notably advanced Taiwan's bicycle, motorcycle, and automobile industries, as well as the realm of high-tech industrial components.
Bor-Tsuen Lin said, molds for manufacturing fine stamping parts have been around for more than a century, it is actually very difficult to innovate in technology. The "stamping die automation design system" he developed is based on the concept of stacked blocks, develop a range of modules tailored to their specific functional characteristics, in contrast to the traditional three-dimensional mold design approach that utilizes points, lines, and surfaces, modularization can simplify and flexibly design the process, this system empowers designers to automatically generate module structures using computer software, simply by entering the fundamental design specifications, the working hours have been drastically reduced from over 30 hours to under 5 hours, while maintaining consistent quality.
The cutting-edge technology spearheaded by Bor-Tsuen Lin has been cultivated in the acquisition of two domestic invention patents and the publication of four articles in esteemed SCI-indexed journals, it has also cooperated with three companies in industry and academia to create the world's first "automatic design system for continuous stamping molds."
Thanks to his extensive industrial experience, Bor-Tsuen Lin's research over the past two decades has significantly contributed to the advancement of the automobile and traditional manufacturing industries,
next, he will introduce stamping die technology into the aerospace industry. Bor-Tsuen Lin said, cooperate with the "Indigenous aircraft design and building" project, with the support of the Ministry of Education, NKUST has established a state-of-the-art "aviation component manufacturing production line field." The class "Aerospace Manufacturing Talent Cultivation Program" has been initiated, providing students with the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in the practical manufacturing of aircraft components on the production line. Bor-Tsuen Lin:『(Original sound)We hope that the talents we cultivate, our technical data and everything we have will meet the needs of the market, I think this is the specialty of my laboratory.』
Bor-Tsuen Lin also hopes that in the future, he can continue to use smart stamping mold technology to help more Taiwanese manufacturers obtain tickets for Industry 4.0 as soon as possible.
