RESEARCH
& DEVELOPMENT |
| The
members in our R & D committee have had over 15 years experience
in the machine tool industry. These experienced team members have
achieved many international design patents. The exchange of technological
experiences with major overseas corporations has enhanced R & D
ability and has made FIRST machines acceptable worldwide.

MATERIAL
HANDLING |
Over
10,000 finished and unfinished components of FIRST machines are
Kept in our warehouses to fulfill production plans and service requirements.
The use of computer systems, from Unix to NT base systems, from
DOS to WINDOWS, from separate networks to a main frame continually
work to improve management of material handling and other areas.
Data is entered into the systems to produce reports accurately and
automatically. With adequate stock, we can give the shortest possible
delivery of machines and parts. |

FOUNDRY |
¡@ |
We
use the best quality Meehanite cast iron in our machines.
FIRST began to use Meehanite castings in 1981and the foundries
adopted the unique specifications and process from the Meehanite
company. Every process of production, form the metal or sand
used, is monitored and controlled by the quality assurance
system of the Meehanite Company.
This is followed by C meter, image spectroanalyzer, metallurgical
microscope and material tension tests which complete the stability
of physical quality. All of the main castings are annealed
before machining in order to normalize the composition of
the castings and give the finished parts permanent accuracy.

MACHINING |
More
that $20 million has been invested in machining facilities. Including
vertical and horizontal machining centers, bridge type five face
machining centers, CNC lathes and grinding machines.
Machining lines work by SOP (standard operation process), set and
confirmed by experienced operators, to ensure accuracy of parallelism,
squareness , straightness and roundness of every single part. The
factory is air-conditioned thus giving a very stable manufacturing
environment. |
 |
|
ASSEMBLY |
| By
setting seven assembly lines, we are capable of producing 600 units
of both manual mills and machining centers per month. SOP and the
very low turnover of staff at Long Chang makes assembly work accurate
and fast. A complete inspection system ensures that machines are
delivered in first class condition. |

QUALITY
CONTROL & ASSURANCE |
| Quality
control and assurance verified by international quality assurance
Systems including ISO 9000, CNC, JIS, DIN, UL, CSA, and CE, is final
confirmation of the high standard of FIRST machines. Long chang
has engineers with more than 10 years' experience in assembly or
machining who now work in the Quality Control and Assurance team.
Through the statistics and analysis recorded by the team, we and
improve FIRST machines to meet he requirements of worldwide customers.

PACKAGING
& EXPORT |
  |
Standard
and careful packing processes ensure that each FIRST machine rives
at the customer in perfect condition even after thousands of miles
of transportation. |
