Research & Development

We Develop What Converters Ask For on the Plant Floor.

Yaoshg R&D is not a separate lab writing specs in isolation. Mechanical, electrical, and application engineers work from real jobs—registration drift on thin film, slitter edge quality, seal failures on recycled PE—and turn that into platforms our manufacturing halls can build repeatedly.

How We Innovate

Problems From Production Halls, Not PowerPoint Decks

Most product updates start with a service report, commissioning note, or customer trial.

In 2005, R&D meant adjusting stack flexo decks beside maintenance teams until register held on repeat jobs. Engineers still split time between assembly halls, test areas, and customer sites. A slitter tension issue abroad can become revised unwind logic; a seal failure on thin courier film can change heat bar profiling on new bag lines.

Scope today spans pre-press through bag making, but priorities still come from the floor. Cross-functional reviews keep converting modules aligned with CI tension profiles and bag sealers aware of upstream ink behavior.

Release Path

Five Steps From Field Insight to Production-Ready Design

Major updates follow a documented sequence—not ad hoc shop changes.

1

Application & Field Input

Service reports and customer trials capture substrates, speeds, integration needs, and recurring pain points.

2

Concept & Simulation

Mechanical layouts, tension models, and control logic drafted; register and sealing behavior modeled before steel is cut.

3

Module Build & Lab Run

Critical assemblies cycled in campus test areas before full machine integration.

4

Pilot Assembly & Material Trials

Production-like jobs where possible; changeover, waste, and HMI feedback incorporated.

5

Production Release & Revision Cycle

Frozen BOM and work instructions to manufacturing; field data drives the next controlled revision.

R&D FAQ

Common Questions About How We Develop Equipment

What converters and partners ask during technical discussions.

Configuration options are evaluated against manufacturing feasibility and long-term serviceability—we document what can be supported in the field rather than promising one-off builds.

Research Tracks

Three Development Priorities Across the Catalog

Engineering effort clusters where customer questions concentrate.

Flexo Platforms

The stack, CI, sleeve gear-driven CI, gearless servo CI, and woven bag flexographic printing systems series—from stack to servo gearless CI and in-line narrow web. Register stability, makeready, ink transfer, and drying—not headline speeds alone.

Converting Automation

Tension control, edge quality, roll hardness, and splice logic. Turret slitter and laminator prototypes cycled before serial release.

Learn more →

Bag Sealing & Pull Control

Heat profiles, servo pull length, and stack quality for PE, HDPE, coated paper, and non-woven formats.

Learn more →

Shared Control Architecture

HMI patterns and diagnostics aligned across related platforms so operators and service teams learn once.

Master Series Example

Servo gearless CI development validated on customer-like films before flexo hall serial production—specs on the Master Series product page.

Continuous Revision

Commissioning and service data feed controlled design updates—not undocumented shop-floor tweaks.

On-Campus Testing

What Happens in R&D Before Serial Production

Prototype, test, and hand off on the same Wenzhou site as manufacturing.

  • Print module register and drying trials on standardized test films
  • Converting tension mapping and edge quality on thin-film jigs
  • Bag sealing profile work on PE, courier, and paper formats
  • Electrical panel pre-commissioning before hall mounting
  • Pilot runs on customer-like structures before BOM freeze
  • Revision notes from field service fed back into engineering releases

From Design to Installed Line

Manufacturing builds what R&D releases. Quality documents the test records. Applications shows how platforms are configured in food, e-commerce, and industrial projects.
