KAI’s T-50A fielded in this week’s first contest for U.S. Air Force T-X jet program

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry South Korea’s major aircraft manufacturer Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd. (KAI) and its partner U.

S.-based Lockheed Martin last month competed against each other for the first time, vying for a multi-billiondollar and multi-year U.S. Air Force project T-X program to replace an aging fleet of jet trainers, with orders of up to 1,000 aircraft expected, given the life cycle of jets.

The KAI-Lockheed Martin team is pitted against defense majors Boeing – Sweden’s Saab consortium, Northrop Grumman linked up with Britain’s BAE Systems, and Raytheon in venture with Italia’s Alenia Aermacchi.

201612mm_page_77_03KAI fields homogenous T-50A, a renovated version of the T-50 Golden Eagle used by the Korean air force. The players test out their trainers before the U.S. Defense Department recently. The awarding takes place in November 2017.

T-50A is already in service and exported to many countries. Its partner Lockheed Martin supplied the U.S.

Air Force’s main fighters F-22 and F-35. The Boeing and Saab’s prototype is said to be most powerful equipped with an engine that produces as much as 22,000 pounds of thrust, followed by KAI and Lockheed Martin’s T-50A with 17,700 pounds thrust, Raytheon with 12,560 pounds and Northrop with 11,000 pounds.

The other teams have designed their jets customized for the next-generation replacement, while KAI renovated existing trainer.

201612mm_page_77_05 The prototype by Northrop and Raytheon excels in weight. Northrop has made the jet 22 percent lighter although it is bigger than T-50A. Raytheon’s aircraft is the smallest and lightest and boasts twin-engine for greater flight stability. Performance-wise, the horserace is expected to be two-way between KAI-Lockheed and Boeing-Saab teams, according to Konkuk University professor Lee Jae-woo.

The initial batch of 350 aircraft to replace the T-38 Talon jets in service since the 1960s is worth $15 billion, but given the domino effect, the total pipeline value could go near $90 billion.

Making Remanufactured Automobile Products More Reliable

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry [INQ. NO. 1612M06] Taeil Precision Industry Co., Ltd. is a leading company in the development of the Korean auto industry. The company started its business in the 1980s when remanufactured automobile products were not recognized among many people. Despite a prevailing prejudice against remanufactured automobile products, Taeil has expanded its foundation for producing remanufactured automobile products based on the opinions and satisfaction of real users.

It has thus developed into a representative company that defines the quality management system for remanufactured automobile products. Greenhouse gas emissions and the global warming triggered by them drew TAEIL into the spotlight. The company is being reborn as a social enterprise that loves nature and people together with its value as an eco-friendly carbon-free enterprise. TAEIL is securing quality equivalent to the quality of new products by way of innovative manufacturing processes.

The ALT-98, a representative alternator model is the first automated inspection system that can perform multiple tests on all models. This product automatically scans the specification of a product to be inspected and can input more than 4,000 kinds of data. This model does not have a limit in the quantity of products that can be inspected.

The all new ALT-198 was developed base on 16 years of testing the ALT-98. Available with 11 kW (15 HP), 15 kW (20 HP) or 22 kW (30 HP) variable speed motor options and 300, 450 or 600 Amp Regenerative Load Banks, this tester is great for a variety of alternator testing applications for OEMs and remanufacturers, including end-of-the-line production testing, performance studies, endurance testing, and warranty evaluation.

The ST-16 Start Motor Tester is designed to provide remanufacturers and OEM manufacturers with fast accurate and detailed tests of starters. This model is designed for precise testing for high-volume applications at the touch of a button. Solenoid timing is measured on the unit allowing the machine to detect problems related to specification components or faulty assembling.

 

Mutual Growth with Society

Everything from disassembly to manufacturing products with recyclables involves human labor at TAEIL. The training of skilled workers provides more long-term jobs than other companies. As a company that coexists with society, its value is expanding.

TAEIL is exporting its products as brand Taeil Korea products that have undergone a carefully selected remanufacturing process rather than a simple recycling process. In addition to expanding the domestic market, the company has established itself as a global brand through the exploration of overseas markets by actively advancing into offshore businesses and contributing to the growth of the nation by having its product quality, economic feasibility and environmental efficiency recognized.

Specialization in the Export of OEM and Quality Aftermarket A/C Parts

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiryEver since its foundation in 2002, KOR.E International has been specializing in the export of OEM and quality aftermarket A/C parts. It started out with just one loyal overseas customer, but through its strength and perseverance to advance into overseas markets, KOR.E has continued to grow successfully as a global export company by earning trust from customers.

201610mm_page_033_07

KOR.E focuses on supplying the A/C auto parts industry with condensers, radiators, compressors, evaporators, HVAC units, complete A/C systems, and other spare parts.

KOR.E has been able to set itself apart from other trading companies with its commitment to customer service. It takes pride in having close relationships with all of its customers and being able to understand and predict their needs.

Functions of Major Components of Car Air-Conditioning Systems
201610mm_page_033_14A condenser is required to cool down the hot refrigerant coming from a compressor, so it is located at the front of a car where it can be exposed to the maximum amount of air. As the hot refrigerant fl ows into the condenser, it dissipates heat by fl owing through a system of ultra-thin tubes that are held together by fi ns.

KOR.E manufactures Parallel Flow (PF) condensers that have been proven more eff ective and reliable than serpentine or plate and fi n-type condensers. It carries over 1,000 models of condensers and has the ability to customize a condenser as customers want. All the processes are in accordance with ISO9001, TS16949 and ISO14001.

201610mm_page_033_03A compressor is a key part of a car’s airconditioning system and is usually driven by the engine via a V-belt or ribbed V-belt.

As low-pressure liquid refrigerant from the evaporator fl ows into the compressor, the liquid is compressed into high pressure gas and sent to the condenser. These units compress liquid refrigerant into gas while keeping the refrigerant fl owing through the airconditioning system. Compressors are also fi lled with special lubricating oil, and some of this oil circulates with the refrigerant through the air-conditioning system, keeping all of the parts lubricated.

201610mm_page_033_11A radiator is located at the front of a car’s engine, just behind the condenser, and is the most important component of the cooling module because it keeps the engine from overheating.

201610mm_page_033_13The radiator is made up of a radiator core, along with two plastic side tanks, and all the necessary connections and att achments. The radiator core is made up of a network of fi ns and tubes that run either horizontally or vertically, depending on the application.
