CHIEN WEI PRECISE TECHNOLOGY

Founded in 1981, Chien Wei Precise Technology Co., Ltd is based in Fengshan District in southern Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The company initially specialized in precision machine tools such as vertical grinders, jig grinders and machining centers, together with co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Over time, it also diversified into robotic automation systems. Robotic systems typically use either planetary gearboxes equipped with involute gears, or cycloid drives based on a combination of a reduced epitrochoid rotor and a cycloid stator. While planetary gearboxes have been around for a long time and enjoy extensive use, cycloid drives have far fewer moving parts and offer a more efficient means of achieving extremely high reduction ratios.
