Industrial Automation & PLC Diagrams (PLC & HMI)
Siemens/Mitsubishi/Rockwell PLC code comments, electrical schematics, and HMI touch panel alarm strings.
Automotive Engineering & IATF 16949 Files
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Failure Mode Analysis (FMEA), Control Plans, and SOPs.
Smart Factory FAT/SAT Line Validation
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) protocols, inspection logs, and safety rules.
Project Preparation
Manufacturing documents combine complex diagrams and text. Provide the following details for optimal engineering handling.
Source Files
Supports InDesign, FrameMaker, AutoCAD (DWG/DXF), Word, Excel, and vector PDF.
CAD Layers & Text Editability
Clarify if CAD text is editable vector or requires drawing layer extraction.
Target Markets & Safety Codes
Specify export destination safety standards (CE Machinery Directive, OSHA, UL, JIS).
Legacy Glossaries & Part Catalogs
Provide company part numbering rules, component catalogs, or legacy manuals.
DTP & Layout Deliverable
Indicate if 1:1 layout parity, press-ready print PDF, or back-filled CAD files are required.
Industry Translation & Quality Workflow
Enforcing closed-loop workflows from terminology extraction and SME translation to layout alignment.
Scope & Terminology Extraction
Analyze document structures, drawing layers, and extract vertical domain terms into glossaries.
Domain Expert Translation
Match specialized translators with healthcare, IT, legal, or engineering backgrounds.
Dual Review & Numeric QA
Cross-verification of technical tolerances, safety alerts, and regulatory references.
Layout Inspection & Callout Sync
Preserving document hierarchy, callout references, and structural alignment per source conditions.
Handover & TM Archival
Deliver final files, QA audit logs, and archive confirmed termbases into customer TM.
Deliverables
The following deliverables are tailored per agreed project scope.
Deliverables
- 1:1 layout matched final print-ready documents (InDesign / FrameMaker / PDF)
- Translated text layers backfilled into CAD drawings (DWG / DXF / vector PDF)
- Part number and safety warning label QA verification report
- Project-specific mechanical engineering and automation glossary
Prerequisites & Scope Notes
- Engineering Parameters: Translators ensure technical terminology accuracy; engineering parameters checked by client engineers
- CAD Leader Lines: Text expansion may require adjusting leader lines and callout boxes for visual clarity
- Safety Warning Levels: Strictly aligned with ANSI Z535 / ISO 3864 (DANGER / WARNING / CAUTION / NOTICE)
- On-Site Support: Remote and on-site translation support available for tight FAT/SAT milestones
Industrial Robot Workcell Maintenance Guide Sample
Demonstrating articulated industrial robot servo drive replacement, torque calibration, and safety interlock terminology.
"CAUTION: Before servicing the servo drive assembly, ensure the main circuit breaker is locked out and tagged out (LOTO). Discharge the intermediate circuit capacitors and verify zero voltage across the DC bus terminals using a calibrated multimeter."
"注意：在对伺服驱动器总成进行维护之前，必须确保主断路器已执行上锁挂牌 (LOTO)。请对中间回路电容器进行放电，并使用经校准的万用表确认直流母线端子两端电压为零。"
| Engineering Term | Target Technical Translation | Standard & Class |
|---|---|---|
| Servo drive assembly | 伺服驱动器总成 | Standard Mechanical Drive Assembly Term |
| Locked out and tagged out (LOTO) | 上锁挂牌 (LOTO) | OSHA Standard Industrial Safety Procedure |
| Intermediate circuit capacitor | 中间回路电容器 | Power Electronics Standard Nomenclature |
| DC bus terminals | 直流母线端子 | Electrical Wiring Standard Nomenclature |
