New “Edge Gateways” from HMS enable communication between IT-systems and the factory floor HMS Industrial Networks now introduces yet another gateway family for the Industrial Internet of Things.

The new Anybus .NET gateways enable realtime data from industrial machinery to be presented to NET-based IT applications.

This means that .NET programmers can get data directly from a PLC system on the other side of “the edge” to be used in applications for statistics, analysis or maintenance. The first .NET gateways are available for PROFIBUS and PROFINET.

A quick and easy way to realize IIoT The basic prerequisite for Industrial IoT is that industrial applications are able to communicate with IT systems.

However, the operational technology (OT) on the factory floor uses fieldbus and industrial Ethernet networks, which are designed for real-time communication – by default separated from the IT-infrastructure.

The Anybus .NET gateways address this situation by acting as translators which send and receive data between PROFIBUS- or PROFINET-networks and IT platforms using .NET as a framework. The communication is set up in a couple of minutes and the .NET gateways are therefore a very fast way to realize IIoT. The result is that IT systems

22

ENGINEERING REVIEW

get access to data from industrial machinery, while PLC programmers can rest assured that the data access does not interfere with their critical systems.”

HMS Industrial Networks

get unprecedented access to real-time data from the factory floor which enables predictive maintenance, KPI-follow-up, machine analytics, data mining, big data processing, production statistics and much more – without interfering with the industrial processes.

The solution can be used for a wide range of use cases, from simple transfer of KPI values, advanced messages with structured data types, or ultra-fast transfer of I/O data for “big data.”

How it works In addition to connecting the data from the industrial processes to the IT-systems, the .NET gateways make the data understandable on the IT-side. The information exchange between the Operational Technology (OT) side and the Information Technology (IT) side is defined in a spreadsheet template which defines how the data is mapped, tagged and

presented to IT-applications.

Indian Market, “with 65% of market share our core business strength is in asphalt plants, however we should not depend on only one market.

We have decided to diversify the products in the concrete batching plant like pre-cast, PQC, lot of housing etc. from next year.

He added further, In India it’s the after sales that runs the market, it’s never the product that runs the market.

So, the after-sale plays a very critical role to have a successful business. Our main mission is to strengthen our after sales to the point where the customer is 100% satisfied with the product and also with the company. We want to make our customer feel “WOW” about the product. This “WOW” factor comes from excellent quality, esthetic, lower operational cost & after-sales service.

Changing to NORD products helped us to shorten panel, reduction of cost & quicker delivery For our drive requirements, NORD has been associated with Linnhoff for more than15 yrs with our parent company in Singapore. We brought the same association to India once we started our manufacturing in 2013. We have installed nearly 98% of drive units from NORD. “Apart from good product, their excellent service, good support, competitive price made us sticks to NORD. We would like to appreciate the people behind the product, the company & the policy behind it, says Mr.Tanna.

Rural India – Road Construction Market Mr. Tanna said, “We have a huge market potential in the rural part of India.

Roads are classified under a time-honoured system into National Highways (NHs), State Highways (SHs), Major District Roads (MDRs), Other District Roads (ODRs), and Village Roads (VRs), with well-recognized standards for construction and maintenance laid out in respect of each category. Rural segment with total 5.2 million Kilometers has been completely ignored in India. And the government is still focusing on highways consisting 125,000 Kms of national highways & 700,000 Kms of state highways.

We have already imagined gigantic boom in the road construction market in the near future. It will definitely take some time but we are positive with our new government rural development plan, mentioned

by Mr. Tanna.

On a concluding note, Mr. Tanna emphasized on being honest to your customers.

One should always be certain about their commitments. In India, we value words more than written documents so we should always respect our words and be truthful.

Omron unveils first-of- its-kind ‘Total Tamper Detection Solution’ to address power theft

Omron, the world leader in sensing & control technologies, announced the launch of its Total Tamper Detection Solution – world’s first of its kind - to address the national level concerns of power ‘theft’ in the electricity sector.

Positioned as a revolutionary offering for Smart Energy Management, the solution has been unveiled by the company at the ongoing India Smart Grid Week -2016.

The solution comprises of a technologically advanced security sensor, made by Omron, positioned in a smart meter. Conceptualised in association with the utility, Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), the endeavour is visualised as a milestone in enabling the Smart Grid initiative of the Government of India and is also expected to play a key role in shaping the macro initiatives of national importance such as the need to channelize and curb the losses caused by power theft.

ENGINEERING REVIEW

APRIL 2016

Transmission and distribution (T&D) losses remain one of the major concerns for the power sector in India. As per varied industry reports, the country ranks 5th in the world in terms of installed capacity, but still more than 300 million people do not have access to electricity. This unavailability and insufficiency of electricity has a strong linkage with the transmission & distribution losses which amount to around 40 % of the total production. The losses give rise to a vicious cycle - utilities running into losses leading to increased power tariff leading to more burden on the end user which ultimately results into more unscrupulous ways to tamper with the meters.

Explaining the role of Total Tamper Detection solution in managing power theft, Mr. Vinod Raphael, Country Business Head - Omron Electronic and Mechanical Components business division in India said, “Though it is difficult to reckon the

proportion of power theft in the T&D losses, it is certainly one of the major concerns for the utilities. Omron’s security sensor for the smart meters is multi-functional, imparting a unique artificial intelligence to the meter by detecting all kinds of tampering”.

Sharing an overview of the business prospects of this solution, Mr. Raphael shared, “The government plans to install 35 million smart meters in the country by 2019 which is a promising business avenue. As we move ahead, we aim to widen our customer outreach by associating with more utilities and contribute towards developing a sturdy infrastructure in the power sector benefitting the utilities and the end consumers.”

As per the reports, the power distribution loss in India rose to INR 70,000 crore recently*. Omron’s new solution is in synergy with the Government’s efforts towards minimizing T&D losses, considering the Government

set up a ‘Smart Meter Task Force’ to address this alarming state of affairs and to contribute towards moulding India as a Smart Grid Nation.

In a bid to further utilise the opportunity of connecting with all relevant stakeholders in the smart grid world, the company also exhibited other key electronic components for smart meters and varied electrical equipment making them safer, energy efficient, compact and better in performance. Notable solutions for Smart Energy Saving and Smart Energy Supply comprising of panel builders solutions, real time automation based applications for the manufacturing sites, concepts of PV Inverter and Solar Pump were also put on display.

India, the next manufacturing hub of the world; The Economic Times International Tooling summit The Economic Times recently conducted International Tooling Summit to discuss the eminent role of tooling in the ambitious ‘Make in India’ initiative. Held in Mumbai, the event was brought forth in association with TAGMA India.

India today stands amongst the twenty largest producers of cutting tools in the world.

The tooling industry as per the industry survey is estimated to be Rs. 15,100 cr for 2014-15 out of which close to Rs. 8,000 cr is met indigenously. Understanding the importance of the sector in the infrastructure of the economy, Sunita Quadros, Business Head, TCL said, “ The strength of tooling industry is directly associated to the growth of auto and electronics business.

We, at Economic Times are glad that we could provide a platform which triggers discussions, provides insights and facilitates change and growth of the sector.”

Sharing his views Kamal Bali, MD, Volvo said, “I believe that the “Make in India” program strikes at the root of the critical shortcomings in manufacturing, namely the need for higher value-capture in India. The tooling industry is rightfully positioned to fulfill this shortcoming by facilitating higher value addition, thereby creating greater economic activity. Competitiveness of the Indian manufacturing sector, more jobs, inclusive and sustainable growth will pave

Introducing the Haas F1 Team VF-16 – The latest, fastest, most exciting ‘Machine’ to carry the famous Haas VF pre-fix The VF-16, Haas F1 Team’s first racecar, has arrived! The car was revealed February 21st to the world motorsport press at the Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya, where it began pre-season testing, February 22nd. Of all Haas machines with VF nomenclature, this four-wheeled, Ferrari-powered model has been perhaps the most eagerly anticipated since Gene Haas stated his intentions to enter the world’s greatest race series, less than 2-years ago. Haas Automation Inc., the company Mr. Haas founded in 1983, is Haas F1 Team’s principal sponsor and the genesis of the F1 venture.

“From an international standpoint, Formula One is the highest echelon of racing, and Haas Automation builds the highest-quality machine tools,” said Mr. Haas, who has grown Haas Automation Inc. into the largest machine tool builder in North America, with more than $1 billion in annual sales.

“When you hear the words Formula One you know exactly what they stand for: a global racing series that invests in the latest technology and attracts the best talent in engineering and design. Haas Automation has an

excellent reputation in the United States – for reliability, innovation, and value for money – and I want that reputation to continue to grow worldwide. Connecting Haas Automation with F1 in name and in practice is the best way to grow our business, and elevate Haas Automation to a premium, global brand.”

The dark grey, light grey, and striking red-toned livery of the Haas VF-16 was derived from that of Haas Automation’s CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers, turning centers, and CNC rotary tables and indexers: a ‘complete’ line of highproductivity CNC products.

The Oxnard, California-based Haas Automation Inc. employs around 1300 people, and exports approximately 60% of its annual production to more than 60 countries. There are close to 185,000 Haas CNC machine tools installed around the world, supported by a network of 170 Haas Factory Outlets (HFOs) – independently owned sales and technical service businesses, dedicated to providing industryleading support, wherever a customer is based.

technology and innovation to a passionate, global audience, many of whom are already Haas customers, or who perhaps work in the precision engineering and manufacturing sectors.

“Just as Haas Automation’s CNC machine tools evolve continually, becoming better and more efficient as time goes by, our methodology behind the VF-16 was to make it the best evolution of a good F1 car,” explained Guenther Steiner, team principal, Haas F1 Team. “As we’re a new team, we studied what the successful F1 teams were doing, so we had a strong baseline for the direction we needed to go with our design.

“We need to go out there and show that we can do the job – that’s our first objective,” states Steiner. “Then show we can finish races, that we are respected by the fans and other teams in the paddock and, of course, that we can score points.

That’s the goal!”

The VF-16 is being tested on-track at Barcelona Feb. 22-25 and March 1-4, before its debut race, the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, March 20, in Melbourne.

High quality instrumentation valves attributed to other causes when they really are static related issues. We continue to publish articles and bring awareness to the industry by working with a number of industrial associations.

Q. What’s special about the instrumentation valves you offer to say petrochemical industries?

Do they require any approvals here from labs like NABL or FCRI? The valves and regulators we supply to the Chemical Industry in general have a wide range of certifications. For valves, we have course type approvals from various third parties like Llyod’s, TUV, DNV, etc. and the products meet all industrial standards and wherever required such as ASTM F-1387, for Oil & Gas , ECR 110 for Automotive NACE, for Sour Service and many more. In fact our Tescom vaporizing regulators, in addition to having ATEX Approval, is the first such unit to have PESO / CCOE Approval from Nagpur.

Q. Which are the applications where energy absorption is crucial – I mean where you recommend your Enidine products?

Generally of course ‘Energy Absorption’ has applications wherever we need to decelerate motion, in the Industrial space.

Our service set-up / service team has been growing from strength to strength.

We have full service capability at our Pune office and are in the process of building a world class center in our Bangalore Factory. Our service support is a key pillar of the value we provide.

Q. How wide is the technology gap that you find in India as a provider of overseas products and technologies?

Being in niche areas, I find the technology gap to be considerable but I believe this is largely related to fewer players in this kind of area. But as we all know over the last decade, the technology gap has been fast shrinking and will continue to do so as we see more FDI in Indian Industry.

Q. Addition of any more agency lines in the anvil?

We have generally been extremely selective and have refrained from having a long line card, preferring a deeper involvement with our current partners to fully exploit their potential, but we have recently signed with Horiba to introduce

Future of Manufacturing is Digital Manufacturing that is fully IT enabled data driven manufacturing process with little human error. The Future needs for quick changes in products and in small quantities needs an agile production beyond SMED! 3D printing technologies are of great relevance as they offer agility. They are going to compete in the areas of simple Molds, Jigs and fixtures and component production in a slow but steady way and could be quite disruptive.

Q. Does Make in India call push up our industrial produce index?

Definitely! It is a challenge to every Indian industry to strive for excellence in their own chosen areas to compete with global

Q. As an emerging technology does 3D printing gets any state support?

As of now No, but it can help it grow faster, we look forward to it. The Digital manufacturing industries should form a focus team under the industry associations such as TAGMA /IMTMA / CII / FICCI to push for policy changes or new policy creation. GOI has been working on few recommendations under advanced manufacturing and hope to see some offers to boost the sector.

Q. What according to you is the unique advantage of 3D printing over other manufacturing processes?

It is the best technology for the fabrication of most complex geometry, which are impossible to make through traditional methods. Aerospace & Medical will see best of such opportunity. They use additive methods, which have less scraps and less demand on energy. They help to produce custom parts with additional tool cost. They help produce pre-assembled parts and save on cycle time. They help produce parts with different material properties in one go.

They are best suited technologies for Digital Manufacturing of future.

Q. According to you what is the future of the compressed air piping systems industry?

With MAKE IN INDIA as a prime initiative of current governance, Industry is bound to grow many fold, and expansion of current projects is foreseen. No industry can run without compressed air and so piping business has got a tremendous potential. Question is Quality Air with reliability.

Conventional Galvanized steel or Mild Steel which has been used since ages is not going to serve the purpose, so Aluminium modular piping is the answer.

But be aware! Not all available in the market are the same. Offering a guarantee on papers have to be backed up with strong Quality control and following the stringent standards. Its not a Blue and black combination of pipe and fittings.

Q. According you what are the factors affecting to your business?

Mindset to adapt conventional and traditional solutions is the biggest barrier to the business. In the world of daily innovations and to remain at par with the industrial standards, every new technology should be adopted.

VIEWPOINT

Union Budget 16-17 - Industry Reacts

“Resolve of the Govt. to ease the process of ‘doing business in India’ is apparent.”

Mr. Satish Bhat, Managing Director, Ador Welding Ltd.

Q. The Union Budget 2016 has just been announced. How do you react to it?

There are very good initiatives taken in terms of impetus to growth by supporting huge investment in Roads, Railways and Oil & Gas exploration areas. Coupled with that FM has also focused on revival of rural economy by supporting them on various schemes which will also be productive in terms of spend. For instance NREGA’s money will be used for irrigation projects for doubling the farm earnings in next five years. Focus is also on creating rural employment. On the social front, the FM has promised Healthcare to cover all under welfare and health services. The most heartening feature of this budget is that the fiscal deficit target of 3.5% is not being relaxed. This provides for hope in interest rate reduction by the RBI. On the whole the FM has very prudently fixed the mathematics of revenue, expenditure and fiscal deficit keeping growth and social / rural sector in mind. A clear road map has been laid down for reduction in tax rates.

Several measures have been announced for reduction in tax litigation and resolving tax disputes. One time window has also been offered to assessees affected by retrospective tax amendment.

All the above measures indicate the resolve of the Government towards “Ease

of Doing Business” which gives confidence to foreign investors to invest in India.

Q. What are the drivers which will help in accelerating the growth in key sectors?

There are good initiatives taken by FM to revive the economy by focusing on investments in a few sectors. Some of the initiatives are: 85 Projects stuck due to various reasons activated; Road construction speeded up; Investment of Rs 97,000 Cr planned; 10,000 Kms of National Highways to be approved for development; 50,000 Kms of state highways to be upgraded. Total outlay for infrastructure Roads + Railways is Rs 2.2 lakh Crore; New Ports/New Civil Aviation sectors are being developed; Public Utility (Resolution of Disputes) bill to be introduced for dispute resolution; New FDI guidelines for infrastructure to be announced; 100% FDI in marketing of food products produced in the country permitted; Marketing freedom to Oil Companies to incentivize investment in deep water, ultra-deep water and high temperature, exploration; Plan to augment investment in Nuclear Power sector is on hand. All these measures will help cement, steel, engineering, railway and mining industry to enable growth, while supporting ‘Make in India’ a dream

of our PM a success.

Q. What’s its impact on your industry and business?

The Welding business rides on the back of investment in key infrastructure projects.

Domestic manufacturing in Defense/ Railways/Ship Repair etc. is expected to improve the demand for Welding products. The government has activated 85 dormant/stalled projects which points out to a serious resolve on the part of the government. Marketing freedom to Oil Companies to incentivize investment, in deep water, ultra-deep water and high temperature, exploration will attract investment in the sector. All the above initiatives will enhance growth opportunities for welding industry.

Q. Any flip sides to it from your point of view? If so please elaborate.

Investment plans of the Government depend on raising capital from spectrum sale, divestment in insurance and other government and private sector companies, etc. The worry is if the equity markets continue to remain depressed and the Government is unable to raise capital as planned, then it will disturb the fiscal balance leading to slowing down of investment in infrastructure.

VIEWPOINT

Union Budget 16-17 Industry Reacts

“Addresses all major sectors of our economy” Mr. G.K. Pillai, Managing Director & CEO, Walchandnagar Industries Ltd. Q. The Union Budget 2016 has been just announced. How do you react to it?

The first reaction to the budget presented is that it is a well balanced budget which addresses all major sectors of the Indian economy with specific focus on the agricultural, rural, social, infrastructure and skill development aspects. Coupled with the government’s other high level policy initiatives like “Make in India”, “Digital India”, “Swacch Bharat”, etc the budget statement lays down a blueprint for ensuring that the fruits of economic development in the future are passed on to all sections of the society in a sustainable manner.

In my view, the budget has ceased to be a one-time policy statement in recent times. The government keeps announcing and implementing important aspects of policy on an on-going basis. Also irrespective of the nature of the political dispensation at the helm of affairs in the country, key aspects of the economy like the ones mentioned above would continue to remain paramount in the minds of policy makers and a significant degree of continuity would be seen in budget statements going forward as well.

Q. What are the drivers which will help in accelerating growth in key sectors? a. Continuous focus on infrastructure development – necessary for all -round development, growth in the economy, attracting stable domestic and foreign investment

80

ENGINEERING REVIEW

APRIL 2016

b. Emphasis on manufacturing sector along with development of skills necessary for the same – to generate employment and leverage the demographic that India has. c. Focus on Defence sector which is a subset of point (b) mentioned above – self-reliance and being insulated from the vagaries of the international defence markets. d. Support for Agricultural sector – in the form of minimum support prices, boosting non-agricultural income during lean periods, irrigation coverage and crop insurance. This would automatically drive rural demand for FMCG, Automobiles as well as Consumer Durables. e. Power sector reforms and continued emphasis on renewable energy sources. The dormancy in the Nuclear Power Sector also needs to be removed for sustained capital and technology flows into the country in this key area for energy security. f. Above all , the commitment to ‘Fiscal Responsibility’ would pave the way for a benign interest rate scenario in the coming months, thereby encouraging across the board investments which are so critical to kick-start the economy.

Q. What is its impact on your industry and business?

The impact on our industry could be summarized as follows: a. Cement Plant Equipment Business – Cement requirement and resultant

investments in capacity would receive a boost from the overall emphasis on infrastructure development – especially Road development (approx INR 97,000 Cr investment in roads sector in 201617 planned) b. Defence Equipment Business – Defence expenditure is slated to go up sharply by 11% (to almost INR 2.49 Lakh Crore in FY 16-17) over previous year. This along with the on-going focus on ‘Make in India’ in Defence should see significant growth in the economy. c. General Engineering – Measures announced by Govt to kick-start stalled projects as well as overall emphasis on gross capital formation would fuel demand for process equipment, boilers, gearboxes, etc d. Railways – Increased outlays for modernization (total Capex at INR 1.21 Lakh crore), work on freight corridors, etc should fuel demand for mechanical equipment, EPC work which we could target.

Q. Any flip side? Please elaborate The budget could have been more forthcoming on specific issues like – a. Clarity on retrospective taxation related issues which has supposedly been an issue with foreign investors though intent to do away with the same was indicated. b. Increasing FDI limits in sectors like Defence (from the present levels of 49%) though this is being considered on a case by case basis.

he advent of continuously falling prices in electronics and power electronics combined with the ever increasing cost and scarcity of labour has certainly pushed us into the age of robotics. The fact that China, a country where all economic factors were identical to that of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the 1980s and a country that was known in the past decades as

the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing hub due to its low labour costs, is today also the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest consumer of industrial robots.

This itself is a proof that we have already entered the age of robotics. They say people should think and machines must work. The youth of our country certainly have great aspirations and a job as menial as pick and place certainly does neither inspire them nor provide enough value addition to the end product to justify a fat paycheque. This is where robotics fits in with machine tending.

Most CNC machines installed in India are typically used for mass production where a few variants of the same type of part are manufactured for long periods of time with

no changes in design or dimensions. A CNC machine operator typically even with some knowledge of programming the machine is reduced to the task of loading the machine and unloading the machine. This is certainly a waste of talent.

Robotic machine tending Robotic machine tending is the process of loading and unloading components for all types of industrial machines including CNC machining centers. The greatest advantage that is derived in the Indian context is the increased uptime from the CNC machine.

Other considerations : Other considerations to be factored in are to ensure the safety of human operators. Since robotic accidents can even be fatal, it is important to completely cordon off the area with safety fences. Despite this, human access will be required, in the form of refilling and emptying magazine stacks. CNC machines also require frequent tool offset resetting and other minor changes. Doors and other openings need to be interlocked with safety switches and sensors.

Conclusion : Finally having invested a great deal on the CNC machines and the machine tending project, it is always good to give some more thought to optimize the areas that tend to slow down the entire process. Non-machining activity like door open / close, chuck open close and where applicable tail stock and other accessories must be optimised for automatic operations and their speed can be considerably increased as sensors can be used to interlock their operation and prevent collision. The process of tool offset resetting should also be automated where it is very frequent, as no human should be present in an automated cell with 2 or 3 CNCs and one robot, or else the entire cell will come to a standstill while fixing one machine.

TNC 640 with new features

By Abhilash Tripathi, Associate Director (Sales & Service), Heidenhain India switching over.

The new 3-D simulation graphic: displays that are rich in detail focus on undesired effects.

S

ince its market launch, the TNC 640 has increasingly been becoming the first choice for high-end controls with efficient and highly precise milling operations.

Why? Because it makes milling so simple, because HEIDENHAIN has expanded its functions in a practical, user-friendly way with a keen sense of workshop needs, and because in addition to milling it also enables turning on the same machine.

The new features of software version 4 currently being dispatched for the TNC 640 range from the programming and simulation of operations directly on the machine to setup and configuration, as well as many machining functions. This makes milling even more simple, safe and precise. Operators also program for turning operations just as simply as for milling. The TNC 640 masters both forms of machining without complex

3-D simulation graphic with a host of benefits The most extensive new feature is certainly unique, true-to-detail 3-D simulation graphic functionality.

This helps the HEIDENHAIN TNC 640 operator to identify missing information or inconsistencies in the program prior to machining, and without any risks to workpieces, tools or machines. It displays the workpiece at random viewing angles and simulates both milling and turning operations in a single view. Not only cuboids are displayed but also cylindrical forms such as cylinders, tubes and rotationally symmetric blanks.

During simulation, several new view options expose a precise and freely selectable view of details. The graphic simulation is so detailed that the machine operator is able to identify undesired machining effects from NC programs, such as sub-standard surfaces, at an early stage. With maximum 3-D simulation resolution, the control can also display the block end points with corresponding block numbers in the display of tool motion as a 3-D line graphic. With externally created NC programs generated with CAM systems this facilitates the analysis of point distribution and pre-evaluation of the expected surface.

The operator can choose to view only the workpiece, only the tool paths or both simultaneously. Views also enable display of the original workpiece blank dimensions as a frame with highlighted main axes, or with the workpiece edges as lines for improved spatial perception. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;transparent workpieceâ&#x20AC;? view option also enables a view of inside machining, even with rotationally symmetric workpieces. Color

TECH TRENDS

Turning and milling in a single setup: the TNC 640 alternates between machining modes as desired according to the program. highlighting of the workpiece with a new color used for each new tool helps the operator to identify individual work steps and makes it easier to assign the tools used. The operator can also display the tools either completely or transparently and of course hide these at any time.

Several advantages are provided for the operator by 3-D simulation on the TNC control. For example, he can rapidly and simply run through machining programs created on the machine. But simulations on the control are also highly useful from programs he adopts from CAD/CAM systems, because the 3-D simulation graphic of the TNC 640 takes into account the kinematics model saved on the control, optimally modified

according to the actual machine tool geometry, to realistically simulate machine movements.

Milling and turning in one setup Does your workpiece, after complex milling operations, also have to be set up on a lathe for further machining?

Here the TNC 640 helps you to save a great deal of time! A milling/turning machine equipped with the TNC 640 machines the workpiece in one run, combining milling and turning in any sequence. For this purpose, the control simply alternates between turning and milling mode according to the program and completely independent of the machine and axis configuration. During switchover, the TNC 640 assumes all necessary internal changes (such as switching to diameter display, or setting the datum in the center of the rotary table), as well as machine-dependent functions (such as clamping the tool spindles). In this way the TNC 640 not only saves space as well as money for an additional machine, but thanks to doing all operations on a single machine, it also avoids inaccuracies possibly caused by workpiece rechucking.

The operator can create turning contours as usual in the HEIDENHAIN plain-language dialog, and he also has contour elements such as recessing or thread undercutting as well as cycles for turning shoulders, recessing, contour

machining and thread machining.

He can also use FK free contour programming to easily create contour elements or simply import contours in DXF format with the help of the DXF converter. In more sophisticated contour turning cycles, the TNC 640 uses the same techniques as used for milling.

Here, too, there is no need for the TNC programmer to learn new ways of programming he build on what he already knows and quickly find his way into the world of turning on a milling machine.

Another highlight of the TNC 640 is the blank form update feature. Based on the defined blank, the control calculates the newly created intermediate product with each step to adapt the following machining cycles accordingly. This avoids air cuts and optimizes approach paths.

feature (ADP) expands the previous look-ahead of the permissible maximum feed rate profile, thereby enabling optimized motion control of the feed rate axes with 3-axis and 5-axis milling.

In this way, clean surfaces can also be milled with short machining times on contours characterized by strong point distribution deviations in adjacent tool paths.

The control dynamically calculates the contour in advance and can therefore use acceleration-limited motion control with smoothed jerk to adapt the axis velocity at contour transitions in good time. ADP shows its strengths for example during bidirectional finish milling through symmetrical feed behavior on the forward and reverse paths as well as through particularly smooth feed rate curves on parallel milling paths.

Optimized motion control for clean surfaces and perfect contours An insufficient quality of data in NC programs frequently causes an inferior surface quality of the milled workpieces.

modes are indicated by unambiguous symbols. Value inputs, comments and syntax elements are color-highlighted, and error messages are categorized with colors according to importance.

The latest software version 4 simplifies program creation and input of technology data on the TNC 640.

With the context-sensitive cutting data calculator, the operator can calculate spindle speed and feed rate for the specific machining process and transfer these values directly into the open feed-rate or shaft-speed dialog. The calculator recognizes the open dialog window and automatically asks only for the required input data.

Face milling cycles, of course, have long been a part of the performance range of HEIDENHAIN TNC controls, although this does not mean that familiar features cannot be improved.

For example, a new face milling cycle enables the definition of up to three sides for limiting face machining on side walls or shoulders. For corners between by adjacent sides, even the corner radii can be specified as desired. Faces can be milled with various machining strategies: meandering, line-by-line (with or without overrun) or helically.

Operators can also specifically define the machining direction, for example for directing the operating pressure against the fixed vice jaw.

In addition to such expansions and optimizations, many other detailed improvements have also been integrated that are too extensive to describe here.

The new software version 4 for the TNC 640 converts a wide range of customer requirements into workshop-oriented solutions.

components, for its customers. Before the Primo system was installed, the cycle time for machining a turbo charger housing was 46 hours. During this process, at the semi-finished stage, the part would be taken to an inspection facility to be checked for flatness, squareness, parallelism and positional accuracy. The part would then be brought back to the machine, and have to be realigned and set before further machining could take place. This process would take three hours and have to be carried out twice, meaning that the machine lay idle for six hours during each manufacturing cycle. In this manual process, part setting itself takes 30 minutes. The Primo twin probe system enables inspection to take place on-machine, removing the need to breakdown and move the part, and reset it once it has been inspected. Now at Unimac, the new process takes just 30 minutes, has reduced inspection time by 90%, reduced cycle time by 12% and led to a very fast return on investment (ROI) in just four months.

Unimac, the company Mr Mungale started Unimac in 1987, after purchasing a second-hand machine from Germany for manufacturing components needed in sugar and cement plants. He later switched to manufacturing general engineering components. Currently, the company manufactures large precision parts used for railway engines, power generation plants, cement manufacturing plants and other heavy engineering applications. The company has its own tool room, horizontal boring machines, floor boring machines, HMCs and VMCs. One of the VMCs has a bed size of 4.5 m x 2.75 m.

Optimising throughput Mr Mungale said, “After installing the Primo system, the manpower cost, material handling costs, material equipment and power consumption charges are saved so no additional investment is required. This gives flexibility to the manufacturing unit in accepting orders for any size and for segments such as the machine tool industry. The manual analysis of results is also avoided, as the data is available on the same controller. It’s an amazing experience to use Renishaw machine tool probes, which are being used by us for the first time.”

“Another advantage of the Primo system is that it combines part set up, part inspection and tool setting capabilities in one system so there is no need to source separate items. The Primo system is definitely worth recommending for every engineering industry.”

Building trust : Unimac first heard about Renishaw when ten years ago it purchased its CMM, which came fitted with a Renishaw probe. Following this, Unimac formed a relationship with Renishaw, and received regular updates about new product developments.

Renishaw engineers analysed all of the machining applications at Unimac thoroughly, and offered best practice advice and guidance on which Renishaw products would be most suitable for Unimac’s needs. The Primo system is the company’s first machine tool probe.

Mr. Mungale concluded, “Since we were convinced with the sales, service and application aspects of Renishaw, we installed its telescoping ballbar to help maintain machine accuracy. After this, it was easy to ascertain whether the fault was during machining and the errors could then be eliminated. Results from the ballbar are always perfect so a mutual trust has developed between Renishaw and us”.

gus has further expanded its range of Ethernet cables for use in energy chains and now offers 27 different cables at seven price points. With the largest global portfolio of Ethernet cables for moving applications, igus offers its customers the right selection for any application. All cables at igus are available from stock in 24 hours, with a 36-month guarantee for durability and no minimum order quantity surcharge.

Due to increasing automation in production processes, the volume of data that needs to be transmitted between individual functions is also increasing. Movement also plays an increasingly important role in modern production processes. For this reason, specially designed cables must be used. “Since requirements differ between applications, we are offering a complete product range of Ethernet cables specially designed for moving applications”, explains Rainer Rössel, Manager of the chainflex business area at igus. “No matter what the required mechanical and electrical performance, users can count on reliable, tried-and-tested cables and select the most affordable cable from our product range that will work in their application.

This includes anything from transmission standards CAT5 to CAT7 or from simple linear to complex three-dimensional movements. Even applications with particularly high torsion forces can be fulfilled, which means we have a suitable Ethernet cable for virtually any situation.” The igus product range includes a total of 27 cables, from the affordable chainflex CF888 with a guaranteed service life of up to five million strokes, right up to the new chainflex CFROBOT8.052, the first robot cable that complies with the CAT7 standard.

igus offers the largest product range of Ethernet cables for moving applications with 27 different types. (Source: igus GmbH) promised for the entire CFROBOT product range, igus guarantees a durability of five million torsional movements.

Special design for optimum service life In situations where cables are fitted in static installations, commonly used Ethernet cables get the job done. But the service life of these cables is severely restricted when used in moving applications. The bus cables, developed by the motion plastics specialist igus, are always optimised for movement to provide the best possible transmission properties. The cables for linear movements are stranded with optimised strands and are available in six different jacket materials (from PVC to TPE), depending on the quality required.

For cables from the CFROBOT product range, the components within the cable are guided loosely so that the cable can move safely when the wires and shielding twist together and apart. To demonstrate that these special designs and materials prove themselves in real-world applications, igus inspects all cables at its 2,750 square metre in-house test laboratory by

conducting more than two billion test cycles per year. Aside from electrical resistance values, which are determined using the specially designed AutΩMeS system from igus, these test sequences are also used to continuously monitor Ethernet-relevant values. The reason this is done is that the data transmission quality of the cables can cause significant problems over long periods of movement if the cables are poorly designed or manufactured. Thanks to the continuous tests that igus conducts, customers can be certain that chainflex cables will work for the duration of the guaranteed service life.

ABOUT IGUS : The igus GmbH is a world`s leading manufacturer in the field of energy chain systems and polymer plain bearings.

The family-run company is based in Cologne, represented in 29 countries and contracts 2,200 employees worldwide.

P

activ, one of the world’s largest producers of food packaging, recently found a good way to improve the productivity of its multi-line inspection system for detecting and rejecting misformed egg cartons. Instead of relying on troublesome pneumatic diverters, they attached diverting rods to actuators, forming sufficient lanes for the traveling and separating of finished products. For this task, Pactiv went with a 27-axis servo system that resists jamming and downtime.

Because of their shape and material, egg cartons are particularly susceptible to jamming. “The original pneumatic system was unreliable and sometimes jammed in Pactiv’s production line,” said Brendan Forbes, Chicago Electric application engineer who helped design the 27-axis servo system. “The ensuing downtime backed up products and caused major headaches as engineers repaired the machines.”

However, when Pactiv upgraded to a servo system, the threat of jamming decreased.

Since servo systems are faster and more precise than pneumatic systems, less downtime and additional maintenance are needed. Servo systems are also more reliable due to their heightened accuracy and repeatability. The original system was

A carriage is assembled onto the preloaded ball bearing block so it can withstand even distribution from radial and lateral loads. The carriages of some actuators have a retention cage that eliminates steel-to-steel contact between adjacent rotating elements. The E-Smart 50 also includes a polyurethane transmission belt with steel inserts, AT pitch and parabolic profiles, as well as a 25 AT 5 belt and Z 40 pulley. The belt is ideal because of its high load transmission capabilities, compact size and low noise.

EMs and tier suppliers in the aerospace and energy segments who regularly face working in high-strength, low-weight titaniums and stainless steels will want to see how the VariMill III ER together with the new WIDIA Victory Grade WS15PE can improve performance,” says Ron West, WIDIA product manager. A newly developed coating and proprietary pre- and post-coat treatment significantly improves cutting edge consistency.

Consistent cutting edges mean higher metal-removal rates, longer tool life, and improved workpiece surface finishes in expensive demanding materials.

The tool is designed to be a true finishing endmill with the ability to take up to 30% radial engagement.

“This also means VariMill III ER customers can use high-speed machining

Swiss solar panel specialist relies on FLIR thermal imaging camera to perform fail-proof inspections Solar panels have proven to be a wise, future-proof investment in terms of economy and ecology. But just like any other technology, failures may occur.

Thermal imaging cameras are an ideal for quick detection of those failures.

Heinz Simmler, owner of Swiss photovoltaic inspection company Energie Netzwerk, is an avid supporter of this technology.

T

hermal imaging can provide owners and installers of solar panels an indispensable look at the interior of solar modules and the construction of the photovoltaic system. Defective cells, junction boxes, cables, inverters or incorrectly connected modules can be localized with high-resolution thermal imaging cameras. Energie Netzwerk, based in Bachenbülach, Switzerland, is specialized in photovoltaic thermography and a certified inspector according to the construction and electrical thermography standard EN ISO 9712.

“After gathering many years of experience with the installation and construction of solar panels for a large company, I decided to start my own company with a partner in 2014,” says

Heinz Simmler. “Before that, I had already worked with the company Emitec Messtechnik AG, a consultancy firm and distributor of FLIR cameras.

This is how I got acquainted with the power of thermal imaging. And when it was time to buy a thermal imaging camera ourselves, there was no question about it that we needed a FLIR camera.”

Solar panel inspections There are usually three situations in which people require thermal imaging inspections, according to Heinz Simmler: “First of all, at the time of installation, people want to be sure that everything works. A fully operational solar panel will allow the installer to provide a quality certificate. Secondly, there can be a

Thirdly, before the warranty ends, a customer usually wants to know whether everything is still in order.”

A thermal imaging camera will pick up cell defects as hot spots, which can cause damage to the solar panel in the long run.

differences. This will allow the owner and the installer to become aware of reduced yield and to take the appropriate measures.

“A frequent problem is reduced output as a result of shadows,” says Heinz Simmler. “Even a flower that casts a shadow on various solar cells can result in 30% less output in these cells. The result is also that these solar cells will become hotter, which is not very healthy for the installation in the long run.”

When an equal amount of sunlight is cast on all solar cells, they will all produce an equal amount of current.

When a certain amount of cells is overshadowed, for example by a chimney, they will produce less current.

Still, the current of the neighboring cells that are not overshadowed needs to pass through these less active cells. The current that is pushed through these cells will make them heat up. A thermal imaging camera will pick this up as hot spots, which can cause damage to the

FLIR T420 camera and lenses In 2014, Energie Netzwerk purchased a FLIR T420 for use during its photovoltaic inspections. This thermal imaging camera has a 320 x 240 pixel resolution and a wide array of functionality that makes a thermographer’s job a lot easier. As a complement to the standard camera outfit, Energie Netzwerk also purchased an additional 15° telescope lens and a 45° field of view lens.

The 15° lens is a popular lens accessory and provides almost 2X magnification compared to the 25° lens. “This lens is ideal to do your thermal inspections from a distance or when you need to inspect a roof from the ground floor,” says Heinz Simmler. “The 45° lens is ideal when you are on a roof and you don’t have a lot of room to maneuver.”

The Bluetooth headset allows you to insert voice comments on a picture. It’s so easy to add a comment to a picture, such as ‘third row, second panel from the left’. important for us; it’s also a way for us to show the customer where the problem is and what we need to do about it. I use the MSX functionality a lot. I also include MSX footage in my reports.”

Ease of use Next to MSX, the FLIR T420 camera also has other useful features that make the job of the solar panel thermographer easier. The annotation functionality for example is something that Heinz Simmler frequently uses. With this feature, it is possible to add voice comments via a Bluetooth headset.

“This has proven to be a useful feature for me, especially when you are out there on a roof looking a dozens of solar panels. It’s so easy to add a comment to a picture, such as ‘third row, second panel from the left’. No need to bring an additional paper set or a tablet to make notes.”

Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) FLIR Systems recently added its Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) technology to every camera of its preventative maintenance range. This new feature produces an extremely detail rich image and produces better texture in a thermal image. Thanks to MSX more anomalies can be detected, analyses can be done more detailed and conclusions can be drawn in a split second.

The addition of MSX has also been a success for Heinz Simmler: “MSX lets you see exactly in which cell of the solar panel there is a problem. This is not only

On the initial note the improvement for compressed air distribution system is immense. A few of the most effective benefits that you could expect after renovation are as follows:Corrosion proof aluminum alloy piping. The Pipe material has been engineered so as to counter the common problem of corrosion which results in scaling and porosity resulting in pressure drop and leakages. As per the latest data from prominent External body institutes a leakage from a hole of a size of 800 micros represents a loss of Rs 80000 annually.

Minimal pressures drop by the virtue of long lasting internal smooth surface of the pipe resulting in laminar flow as compared to the turbulent flow of the mild steel pipe material. This results in huge energy savings. British compressed air society confirms for every I bar of pressure drop the compressor represents a 7 % increase in compressor energy cost Zero Leakages Our “Airpipe” pipe and fittings a system ensures that there are no leakages from the piping and the components and comes with a 10 years zero leak guarantee.

Take Temperature Measurements Safely with FLIR’s New TG54 & TG56 FLIR launched the new TG54 and TG56 Spot IR Thermometers, which allow professionals to quickly and easily take measurements in places that are out of reach for most IR thermometers.These thermometers let users take non-contact temperature measurements with a distance-to-spot ratio of 24:1 (TG54) and 30:1 (TG56).That means that with a TG56, they can measure a one-inch sized target from up to 30 feet away!

A built-in laser and powerful LED work light help pinpoint the problem area, even in poor lighting conditions.

Both thermometers have a large, color display and a graphical menu structure so the high and low alarms are easy to set and can’t be missed. Every temperature setting is simple to find and select, including emissivity, which has pre-determined levels

and can be custom adjusted.

The TG54 and TG56 allow users to view their current temperature reading along with their last two readings together on one screen. This makes comparing temperature differences convenient without having to memorize or write them down.

The main differentiating feature between the two products is that the TG56 includes a thermocouple Type K input for added flexibility when taking measurements.

MECO “Solar Module Analyzer (Photovoltaic I-V Curve Tester) Model 9009” MECO offer Solar Module Analyzer, Model – 9009 The MECO Solar Module Analyzer is a portable analyzer used for testing, maintenance and finding efficiency of various parameters of solar panel and cell. Analyzer can be used to design Solar System to generate specific power. It can identify Solar Power System requirement, best angle of Solar Panel installation and Broken / WornOut cells.

Solar Module Analyzer 9009 can scan solar cells/ panels upto 60V and 12A maximum. The portability of this device means that it is also useful in quality assurance at various stages on the production line and can be taken from one site to another.

When used in the installation of solar panels, solar panel analyzer assists in determining the proper inverter size as well as optimum power output position of panels and helps to identify defective cells or panels that have worn out over time.

The solar panel analyzer also provides the user with current and voltage (I-V) test curves, maximum solar power (Pmax) as well as current (Ishort, Imax) and voltage (Vnow, Vopen, Vmax).

Solar cell/ panel efficiency (%) is also easily determined using the unit. Solar Module Analyzer is supplied with user friendly software for Data Storing and Analysis. Users can store data (.CSV/.TAB) that can be read in MS Excel and print Waveform / Graph via printer.

Other features: Max. Solar Panel Power (Pmax) search by Auto-Scan : 60V, 12A, Best Resolution of 1mV-1mA, Memory Size 100 Records, Large LCD backlight, Communicate with PC via USB Cable, Manual AC Adaptor & Rechargeable Lithium Battery, I-V Curve with Cursor to Display each Data Point

ElMeasure’s Intelligent ACCL The power instability coupled with inefficient power distribution has created the need for backup power usually using a DG set. The manual switching of DG every time the utility supply fails leads to the disruption of key functions and causes damage to expensive equipment.

To overcome this problem ElMeasure has introduced an Intelligent Automatic source change over with current Limiter (iACCL). The compact product is built with high precision microcontroller that offers automatic changeover between main supply and generator supply. iACCL allows supply from mains as long as the load current is below the programmed current. When the mains supply fails and stand by generator supply is on, it connects the DG power to each consumer in sequence & starts monitoring its load. Whenever the load current exceeds the allotment, power is automatically switched off for 10 seconds, and automatically restored. This cycle repeats for 5 times each time with double the time (20, 40, 80 & 160) and then enters into lockout mode until it is ‘Reset’ manually. This helps to protect

against over voltage from DG side. Its current limiting capabilities are ideally suited to the efficient utilization of the standby generators frequently used in multi-storied apartments, commercial complexes, etc.

The M12 Power L-coded Power Connector The new HARTING M12 Power offers sufficient power for energy-hungry applications in the field - while boasting a smaller design footprint. Consistent standardisation and new encoding allow users to save on space as well as interfaces.

The ever greater “appetite for energy” in automation caused by a growing number of participants is making new concepts necessary.

Besides signals and data, ever more power must also be supplied. In response, HARTING has participated in the development of new industry standards in order to make manufacturer-neutral mating faces a reality. The resulting new IEC 61067-2111 standard is the basis for future M12 Power connector solutions.

The new, universal mating face with L-coding has also emerged from the adopted standard. At 63V/16A, the 5-pin L-coding achieves 0.75kW of power, making it ideal for small servo motors, field distribution boxes, fieldbus-controlled I/O boxes,

power supply devices and valve applications.

The PNO views the M12 L-coded as the future standard equipment connector that is slated to completely replace the application area of the existing M12 A-coded and 7/8” solutions. Consequently, in future, a standardised and universal IP65/67 power connector will be able to be deployed.

On the cable side, the wellknown HARAX IDC connectors and 360° shielded crimp terminals are available for straight male/female versions.

Consequently, HARTING has taken into account a market requirement that extends even beyond the requirements of the relevant IEC 61076-2-111 standard. As a result, at all events this solution does justice to Industry 4.0’s “appetite for energy”.

Solar installations in India to Double in 2016 with more than 4 GW, Reports Mercom Capital Group Mercom Capital Group, a global clean energy communications and research firm, today released its quarterly update on the Indian solar market. Mercom forecasts more than 4 GW in total solar installations for the 2016 calendar year, nearly 100 percent year-over-year (YoY) growth from the 2015 total of 2,133 MW. “The Indian solar sector is finally coming out of hibernation,” said Raj Prabhu, CEO and Co-Founder of Mercom Capital Group. “Solar installations in 2015 increased by 142 percent after three years of remaining flat, and we expect 2016 and 2017 to record strong growth.” There are currently just over 10 GW of solar projects under development, with cumulative solar installations in the country totaling 5,632 MW and about 8.4 GW expected to be auctioned off over the next few months.

“There is cautious optimism in the solar industry as aggressive bidding remains a major concern throughout the sector,” said Prabhu. The latest auctions have hit new lows at ₹ 4.34 ($0.064)/kWh, a drop of about six percent in the last three months. Projects with

www.engrreview.com

tariffs under ₹ 5 (~$0.0735)/ kWh, unless built at a cost of ₹ 5 crores (~$0.7 million) or below, are considered extremely risky and difficult to finance by lenders and most developers.

But most of these projects are, however, expected to be commissioned in 2017 and developers hope that in the time period between bidding and procurement, module and balance of system (BOS) costs will continue to drop along with interest rates to make these projects feasible.

The recently announced budget did not have much for the solar industry to cheer about. Accelerated depreciation will be reduced from 80 percent to 40 percent beginning in FY 2017. This reduction will mostly affect rooftop solar, some largescale projects and the wind sector. The Clean Environment Cess [formerly known as the Clean Energy Cess (tax)] has been increased from ₹ 200 (~$3)/ ton to ₹ 400 (~$6)/ton. This increase will make solar more competitive by increasing the cost of coal. But, increased costs are expected to be eventually passed on to consumers in the form of higher electricity bills.

Furthermore, nearly half of this tax in the past has gone to the Ministry of Water Resources for the Ganga rejuvenation project and we cannot assume that the entire amount collected from the new coal tax will go towards renewable energy.In January, the Union Cabinet approved amendments to the revised tariff policy. One of the most significant revisions is a Renewable Power Obligation (RPO) which would require that eight percent of electricity consumption be procured from solar energy by March 2022. This is an important step towards achieving the 100 GW goal, but the RPO will remain just a number without strict enforcement.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has recently ruled against India’s domestic content policy for solar cells and modules which was originally filed in 2013. In the short term, this will affect manufacturers who

are overly dependent on the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) market. In the long term, the effect should be minimal as DCR projects are a small part of the projects auctioned; manufacturers now have clarity and can adjust their strategy accordingly in order to compete.

The Indian government is expected to appeal the ruling.

“Restricting the use of cheaper non-domestic components while expecting solar power at the lowest possible price has never made sense,” said Prabhu.

Suzlon wins order of 71.40MW from Gujarat Industries Power Company Ltd. The Suzlon Group, one of the leading global renewable energy solutions providers in the world, announced its maiden order win for 71.40MW wind power project from Gujarat Industries Power Company Ltd (GIPL), a leading Gujarat based public sector undertaking engaged in the business of electrical power generation. Suzlon will install 29 units of S97-120m Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) with all steel hybrid tower and 5 units of S9790m WTGs with tubular tower having rated capacity of 2.1MW each. Located in Kutch district, Gujarat, the project will be completed in three phases with execution culminating by April 2017. Suzlon will execute the entire project on a turnkey basis and will also provide operation and maintenance services for a period of 20 years through an integrated service package.

Suzlon has more than two decades of experience in wind sector and maintains and

services more than 9GW across India, accounting for nearly 37% of the country’s total installations. As of March 2015, Gujarat’s total wind installations stand at 3,645MW, out of which 1,742MW has been contributed by Suzlon. Suzlon’s wind energy installations in Gujarat offset approximately 3.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, thereby supporting the transition of the state to a sustainable energy mix. The S97 series of 2.1MW WTG feature the time tested Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology which is designed to maximise generation at lower wind sites.

It not only delivers higher energy output, but also offers higher return on investment for our customers.

At a height of 120 meters the S97-120m is the Worlds’ tallest All-Steel Hybrid tower which combines both lattice and tubular structures, designed indigenously to harness the

enhanced availability of wind resources at higher altitudes making low wind sites viable.

The combination of lattice and tubular gives enhanced tower strength at lower cost.

The three-dimensional lattice structure can support heavier weights due to the broad base and reduces the steel requirement apart from being logistic friendly. The prototype, set up in November 2014, at Kutch, Gujarat, achieved a PLF of 35%. It has successfully generated 6.42 million kWh over the first 12 months of operation.

The evolutionary product has received an encouraging response from customers across segments and reflects in the ~600MW orders received till date.

Mr. Ishwar Mangal, Chief Sales Officer, Suzlon Energy, says, “Gujarat has been at the forefront of generating power through renewable energy sources and Suzlon has played

a pivotal role in contributing to its renewable energy portfolio.

We have developed one of Asia’s largest wind parks at Kutch (Gujarat) with current capacity of over 1 GW as at 31st March and ongoing further installations.

We are pleased to partner with Gujarat Industries Power Company Ltd. (GIPL) for driving their commitment towards sustainable and affordable energy. We are thankful to GIPL for the confidence reposed in Suzlon and its technology. With our comprehensive product portfolio, robust in-house R&D and more than 2 decades of experience in providing end-to-end solutions to customers alongwith integrated maintenance and services, we are best equipped to pursue our focus on bringing down the cost of energy” For more information Web: www.suzlon.com

IEEMA welcomes Government’s intent for balanced & inclusive growth Indian Electrical and Electronics Association of India (IEEMA) welcomed the Union Budget 2016-17 announced by the Hon’ble Union Finance Minister as a balanced budget.

Shri Babu Babel, IEEMA President stated, “The budget is in continuation of Government’s commitment to provide 24 X 7 Electricity For All, with increased allocation in the power sector. The focus on augmenting Nuclear Power with an allocation of INR 3000 crores is a welcome step and reflects the government’s intent to achieve the right fuel balance. While the Finance Minister has not gone overboard to make some populist announcements; yet he did his best to strike a balance between shortterm growth and sustainable economic gains and has done

a great balancing job. This will give a big boost to the infrastructure and rural sector.

“With a budgetary outlay of INR 79,884 crores to the power sector in the new Budget there is an increase over previous year. The electrical industry is hopeful that the Government will take all steps to ensure that there is full utilisation of funds allocated”, Mr. Babel said.

“Substantial emphasis is given to Stand up & Start Up India to make it a reality. A large section of the society, with lack of opportunity, shall benefit out of this.” He added.

The industry welcomed the Government’s commitment to achieve 100% village electrification by 1st May, 2018. A fund allocation of INR 8,500 crores was allocated, out of which INR 3,000 crores and

INR 5,500 crores was allocated to Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana and Integrated Power Development Scheme respectively.

The proposal to increase the Presumptive Taxation Scheme for MSMEs from INR One crore to INR two crores will bring big relief to a large number of assesses in the MSME category.

Shri Sunil Misra, Director General, IEEMA said, “The budget 2016 - 17 addresses Skill Development and new job creation, with 1500 Multi Skill Training Institutes proposed to be set up under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, across the country with an amount of INR 1,700 crores.

Moreover, the proposal to set up a National Board for Skill Development Certification in partnership with the industry and academia is encouraging,

which will train one crore youth over the next three years, further benefitting the manufacturing sector. This will also result in uniformity of growth and development across the country.”

“IEEMA echoes the The Make In India and Skill India campaigns of the Government.

This conforms to IEEMA’s objectives to promote domestic production and focus on exports through its ‘Made In India’ proposition,” Mr Misra added.

The industry eagerly awaited for announcement of a roadmap for implementation of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) regime, which will positively impact complicated tax issues and boost productivity and business development.

However, there was no mention about the same.

Mobile app brings Industry 4.0 to all pumps / ACHEMA 2015

To help plant operators increase productivity and transparency as well as improve competitiveness across the entire life cycle, Frankenthalbased pump manufacturer KSB has developed an app for smartphones and tablets that can determine the efficiency of fixed-speed pumps in just 20 seconds. The KSB Sonolyzer app is based on an algorithm that has been integrated in PumpMeter units for five years now, of which well over30,000 have already been sold.

The smartphone-based application does not require knowledge of the individual characteristic curve or any additional technical data of the pump set to be measured, however, and can also be used with pumps from other manufacturers. Users can utilise the app to determine the

170

ENGINEERING REVIEW

APRIL 2016

load at which each centrifugal pump driven by a fixed-speed asynchronous motor is being operated. The following data must be entered for this purpose: the motor rating, the rated motor speed, the head and the flow rate of the pump.

This information can be read from the name plate affixed to every pump.

When the measurement routine starts, the microphone built into the smartphone or tablet is used for approximately 20 seconds to record the noise emitted by the fan of the electric motor. This noise spectrum is then filtered by the application to ascertain the exact speed of the pump set and determine the torque. By correlating the performance data entered by the user with the hydraulic systems database developed by the manufacturer,

the app can conclude whether the pump is operating at part load and lets the user know if any energy could be saved by optimising the hydraulic system or the drive.

The KSB Sonolyzer app is available for the iOS and Android operating systems and can even be used in potentially explosive atmospheres if the smartphone or tablet PC has appropriate protection. The average life cycle of plants used in the chemical industry exceeds 30 years, which is why the pumps installed have only seldomly been connected directly with the Internet of Things. In many cases, users are not even aware of a pumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current load condition.

This, in turn, points to a considerable amount of energysaving potential that can be tapped by optimising

existing pump installations. All analysis data that is uploaded to a secure, cloud-based environment does not reference an individual. The data serves statistical purposes and is only used to further develop and advance the analysis algorithms in the cloud application which is accessed by the app.

Should a user be in need of support or assistance from the pump manufacturer, he or she must actively contact the company. Those interested in the app can download it to their device free of charge from June 15 via the App Store (Apple) and Google Play (Android).

Economic long runner : The diaphragm valve type 604/605 The valve’s compact design fits standard installation lengths. Its integrated pneumatic actuator with quick opening and closing times enables more than one million closing cycles over its long service life. That is what GF Piping Systems calls a durable hard worker. The valve is flexible in its operating modes and offers fail safe to close (FC), fail safe to open (FO) and double acting (DA) options.

The actuator housing can be opened quickly for service due to the central housing nut. The connection with the valve body is full plastic without any metal parts.Therefore all materials have the same temperature

expansion coefficients which prevents leakages and avoids re-torqueing of screws. Thanks to the optimized linear flow characteristics the kv value is up to 30 percent higher than with comparable valves. The valve is available in DN15 with the pressure rating of PN6. The small six-arms phenomena is living all over the world in equally cozy or harsh environments. Like the

GF Piping Systems diaphragm valves. The wide range of materials offers highest adaption and resistance to chemical fluids and environments. The valves are available in PVC-U, CPVC, PP-H and PVDF. Diaphragms in EPDM, FPM, PTFE/EPDM and PTFE/FPM enable the handling of aggressive media as well as neutral fluids. That makes them even more flexible and reliable for all your applications. Valve type 604 can be mounted into your system with true union connection matching all standard GF unions and inserts and solvent cementing. Type 605 has a spigot for welding resp. cementing.

The valves meet the standards ISO, BS, ASTM and JIS. As communication in an ant colony is very important they share all necessary information.

The new diaphragm valve will communicate with you as well. A unique QR code on the product leads to installation manuals, online training videos and certifications. Open your application in water treatment, the chemical process or other industries for the diaphragm valve type 604/605 and you will be astonished what this small valve can handle.

ValvTechnologies extends Bi‐directional sealing feature to 5/8” Bore Valves ValvTechnologies, Inc. ValvTechnologies Extends Bi‐directional Sealing Feature to 5/8” Bore Valves HOUSTON – ValvTechnologies, Inc., manufacturer of zero-leakage severe service isolation valve solutions, announced the extension of bi-directional sealing technology to its 5/8” bore V Series high-performance metal seated ball valves.

ValvTechnologies’ 1” and larger V Series valves have always had bi-directional sealing ability: this superior capability has now been extended to 5/8” bore valves.

Designed to provide 100% zero-leakage for customers in the fossil power and nuclear generation markets, this is the original fully bi-directional,

www.engrreview.com

zero-leakage metal seated ball valve on the market. The bi-directional design prevents the upstream load spring from collapsing in a reverse flow or backpressure condition. The design ensures the integrity of the seating of the high pressure end subsequent to any reverse flow condition, guaranteeing Class V shutoff in the reverse direction after an upset condition.

Most metal seated ball valves are a uni-directional design specifically targeting globe

valves. ValvTechnologies’ V Series designs can be utilized in bi-directional applications where gate valves are used without the worry of internal damage typical of other metal seated ball valve designs.

ValvTechnologies’ V Series 5/8” bi-directional valves can be used in severe service applications in fossil power and nuclear generation, as well as any industry where a combination of zero-leakage and bi-directional functionality is a benefit by improving the performance, reliability and the safety of a plant. “Adding bidirectional flow capabilities to the V series valves will have a great impact in the power industry, but nearly all industries can benefit from the

new design feature,” said Kevin Hunt, President and Founder of ValvTechnologies. “Customers will see a significant reduction in failures on a variety of valves including boiler feed recirculation valves, feedwater heater isolation bypass valves and feedwater isolation bypass block valves.” Customers benefit from ValvTechnologies’ bi-directional metal seated ball valves of every size by realizing increased security, less downtime and lower maintenance. During an upset condition, the process flow can be unpredictable and, in most cases, the performance of the equipment that experienced the upset is jeopardized.

Material costs (consisting of personnel costs, depreciation and other operating expenditures minus other operating proceeds) increased from € 285.9 to 305.5 million. At the same time, the company managed to increase profit before tax by 11.3 per cent to 41.3 million.

The equity ratio improved slightly to 57 per cent. Financial Director Andreas Hermann: “The Lapp Group has asserted itself very well and is in a very healthy position. We have set a course for long-term stable growth.”

Investments for continued growth The Lapp Group invested € 20.4 million in the 2014/2015 financial year. The biggest projects included the continued roll-out of the new SAP software ECC 6.0 and addition to capacity in important plants. For example, the production plant in Bangalore, India was almost doubled by an extension. In the French plant in Forbach, a new wire drawing machine was commissioned. The new machine will enable them to double production of copper wires. This makes Lapp a technological leader. The construction of a new administration and logistics centre was started in Russia. The construction of the new Lapp Europe headquarters in Stuttgart-Vaihingen was started in spring 2015. The new construction provides new opportunities to bundle Lapp’s strengths even more effectively and to provide even better support for customers throughout Europe. The investment sum borne by Lapp Immobilien GmbH & Co. is
