Lapp makes it into the TOP 100 The TOP 100 companies, a title bestowed upon the most innovative German SMEs, are to be named in the 23rd edition of this competition. The Lapp Group is among the innovative elite this year. The Stuttgart-based company had taken part in a demanding scientific selection process to achieve this status. The Group’s innovation management and success in innovation were examined. The mentor of the innovation competition, RangaYogeshwar, will present the award for Top Innovator during the German SME Summit on 24 June in Essen.

The innovative strength behind the Lapp Group, which has been awarded the TOP 100 seal, has a name: “technology and innovation management” or TIM for short.

The workshops of the same name run by the Stuttgart-based experts in connection technology are a breeding ground for new ideas. Employees from around the world working in a wide range of roles are invited to develop new solution approaches for customers three or four times per year. There are also a number of smaller TIM workshops in various departments throughout the company. “Our aim is for our employees to view innovations as part of their day-to-day work going forward so that they no longer need managers in order to come up with innovations,” said Siegbert Lapp, Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

The Top Innovator develops and produces complete solutions for cable technology and creates a broad portfolio of branded products, including flexible cables, power and control cables, data and fibre optic cables, cable

glands, industrial connectors and cable accessories. 3,300 or so employees around the world work for the family company, which was founded in 1959. 1,200 of these employees are based in Germany. The portfolio of standard products, not including the company’s countless specialpurpose solutions, now consists of over 40,000 items. This huge range is the result of many successful innovations.

Lapp is the market leader in the industry in Germany as well as being in the top tier internationally.

Georg Stawowy, Member of the Board for Technology and Innovation, explains Lapp’s philosophy for innovation: “Firstly, we want to tap into new markets with our innovations. Secondly, we want to be the company that is always providing the latest and best products.”

Over 4,000 companies expressed an interest in participating in TOP 100 this year.

366 applied for the qualifying round. 284 reached the final round.

238 then managed the leap into the TOP 100 (a maximum of 100 companies in each of the three size categories). The companies

were once again assessed

by Professor Nikolaus Franke and his team at the Chair for Entrepreneurship and Innovation of Vienna University of Economics and Business. They used 100 parameters in five assessment categories – “innovation-friendly executive management”, “innovation climate”, “innovative processes and organisation”, “innovation marketing / external orientation” and “innovation success” – to perform their evaluation.

The TOP 100 companies are seen as the trendsetters in their industries. This is also reflected in the assessment’s figures: Among the companies, 97 are market leaders on a national scale and 32 are market leaders on a global scale. Looking at recent statistics, they generated an average of 40 percent of their turnover with market innovations and product improvements brought onto the market ahead of their competitors.

Their sales growth was around 28 percentage points higher than the respective average in the industry.

In total, the SMEs have filed 2,292 national and international patents over the past three years. This

innovative capacity is also paying off in the workplace as the TOP 100 companies are planning to hire around 9,500 new employees over the next three years.

RangaYogeshwar, the mentor of TOP 100 who is also a science journalist and TV presenter, is impressed by the quality of the companies and is hoping to see others follow in their footsteps: “The way in which the TOP 100 companies come up with new ideas and develop groundbreaking products and services from these ideas is truly remarkable. I am so glad that this award shines a light on these qualities. Hopefully their success will encourage other companies to follow suit. After all, this culture of innovation will become increasingly significant to all companies in future.”

TOP 100: The competition Compamedia has been awarding the TOP 100 seal for high innovative capacity and outstanding success in innovation to SMEs since 1993. Professor Nikolaus Franke from the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation of Vienna University of Economics and Business has been the competition’s Scientific Director since 2002. Science journalist and TV presenter RangaYogeshwar is the mentor of TOP 100.

The Fraunhofer Society for the Promotion of Applied Research and the German Association for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (BVMW) are project partners. manager magazin also supports the competition as a media partner.

Solvay launches New Technyl® Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Range India– Solvay Engineering Plastics, a world leader in polyamide-based performance materials, has unveiled at this year’s Chinaplas an advanced PA6.6 polymer technology to offer the possibility of further miniaturization and enhanced aesthetics to the consumer electronics market in Asia; home of industry’s largest manufacturing base. This innovative solution combines the characteristics of halogen-free flame retardancy with high flow and low migration, while reducing corrosion during the injection process.

“Driven by increasingly sophisticated consumer demands, many of our Asian customers in the consumer electronic industry do not only need to meet stringent flammability regulations for their exports worldwide, but also face the challenges of further miniaturization and long lasting surface aesthetics for their product development,” said Wilson Chan, Global C&E (Consumer & Electrical) Market Director for Solvay Engineering Plastics. “Our new generation halogen-free flame retardant PA6.6 provides the right solution for these challenges and bring significant environmental benefits compared to halogenated flame retardant polyamide materials.” The new series of products significantly strengthens Solvay’s existing range of Technyl® ‘60’ halogen-free flame retardant materials which span from high-flow Technyl® Star PA6 to high-performance Technyl® One product grades. A breakthrough feature of the new formulated polymer Technyl® A 60SX is to help customers solve the aesthetics problem caused by the migration phenomena, which may lead to the formation of deposits or causing vents to clog. “For consumer electronics that require optimum surface aspect, this aesthetic problem is intolerable,” added Wilson Chan. “Our unique technology helps to keep migration on the part at a very low level to ensure an attractive appearance over the long term.“ Solvay’s world-class polyamide chemistry also opens wider windows for designers and molders thanks to its excellent flowability. It can particularly address the wall thickness challenges facing most of the connector makers for consumer electronics. This upgraded portfolio of Solvay Engineering Plastics’ halogen-free flame

Solvay Obtains Extensive Drinking Water Contact Approvals India– Solvay Engineering Plastics, a world leader in polyamide-based performance materials, announced that its entire range of Technyl® PA6.6 and Technyl® eXten PA6.10 materials for plumbing applications has obtained full drinking water contact approvals from the following leading certification authorities: NSF-61 (U.S.); WRAS (UK); ACS (France); KTW and W270 (Germany).

Solvay is one of the few material suppliers worldwide to offer full European and American certification. This comprehensive compliance uniquely positions Solvay to globally support customers seeking specific local regulatory clearances for plumbing parts in contact with potable water. Typical end products in this market include pumps, water meters, manifolds, fittings and valves as well as boilers,

filters and other plumbing components. In addition, Technyl® PA6.6 materials are FDA approved and all Technyl products in the plumbing portfolio meet European Regulation (EU) 10/2011 as amended for materials intended to come into contact with food.

“Very few industries impose more stringent standards than plumbing in terms of safety and health, especially with respect to choosing materials for products and components coming into contact with water. We’re dedicated to working with our customers to design solutions which protect end-users from potential hazardous substances coming from drinking water systems.” said Wilson Chan, Global C&E (Consumer & Electrical) Market Director for Solvay Engineering Plastics. “Choosing our Technyl® plumbing materials with complete

certification in place can significantly shorten the product design and approval time for global manufacturers.”

Customers in the plumbing industry are increasingly looking for solutions that will help them address cost and performance challenges in this demanding and regulated environment.

PA-based Technyl® products from Solvay Engineering Plastics leverage the company’s expertise in metal replacement, providing a number of key benefits over conventional plumbing materials such as brass, copper, nonalloy steel and aluminum. They eliminate the risk of galvanic corrosion associated with these metals reduce cost and facilitate compliance with tighter regulations on permissible levels of lead in drinking water.

As one of only few polyamide suppliers, Solvay Engineering Plastics has obtained extensive drinking water contact approvals across its entire range of Technyl® PA6.6 and Technyl® eXten PA6.10 materials for plumbing applications. One of many applications for Technyl® in plumbing systems is the replacement of meter housings manufactured from brass and other high end plastics.

AIR COMPRESSOR

Atlas Copco expands its GA VSD+ technology range One of Atlas Copco’s most popular compressor ranges just got even better. Starting mid-2016, even more of the company’s GA oil-injected rotary screw compressors will be available with the ground-breaking and energy-saving variable speed drive plus (VSD+) technology.

In 2013, Atlas Copco introduced the next generation of its revolutionary variable speed drive technology – VSD+. It allows energy savings of, on average, 50% compared to conventional compression and gives GA compressors a much smaller footprint.

Atlas Copco has been phasing in this new technology. Until now, only GA 7-37 compressors came with VSD+. But that will change soon. Starting in mid-June, all pack and full feature versions of the GA 37, GA 45, GA 55 and GA 75 kW compressors will also be available worldwide with VSD+ technology.

“For Atlas Copco customers, this means they can get a proven, high-quality product that delivers significant energy savings and efficiency,” said Bert Derom, Vice President of Marketing of the Atlas Copco Industrial Air

Division.

An Atlas Copco GA VSD+ compressor features an iPM (Permanent Magnet) motor, a new compression element and a sentinel valve.

These new technologies allow it to deliver even more energy savings than the first generation of VSD compressors. Free Air Delivery (FAD) and Specific Energy Requirement (SER) both improved by up to 9%.

To address the problems of its customers, particularly in pharmaceutical and fine chemicals, sensitive to the risk of contamination of their products by paint chips, De Dietrich Process Systems has developed a new exterior nickel coating for glasslined parts.

This coating is particularly suitable for glass-lined accessories such as manhole covers, protection rings and even some AE reactor covers, or process peripheral such as piping.

The external protection of process equipment (reactors, piping, etc.) in glass-lined steel is traditionally provided by the paint. These paints have excellent corrosion resistance but may in places be subject to high mechanical stress, and flake.

The GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards of the pharmaceutical industry prohibit the fact that a paint flake can contaminate the final product.

To address this risk, De Dietrich Process Systems has developed a nickel coating solution that provides corrosion protection comparable to painting, while eliminating the risk of chipping.

Indeed, nickel coating has outstanding properties: • Bonds perfectly with the base material • Impact resistant • Easy to clean thanks to a specific surface preparation • Makes it possible to apply homogenous surface coating to components with complex geometries.

British Steel launches revolutionary new rail product British Steel, the UK-based manufacturer of premium steel products, has launched a revolutionary new rail product which can withstand the rigours of being laid in some of the most corrosive of environments.

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

The new product, Zinoco, is a premium coated rail that can be installed in harsh environments where corrosion is expected to be the main cause of future rail replacement such as coastal lines, wet tunnels, level crossings, mineral lines and salt pans.

Zinoco, the name of which derives from the words ‘Zinc for no corrosion’, offers superior corrosion protection compared to all current rail coating technologies on the market.

British Steel’s Rail Sector Head,

Richard Bell, said the product was developed at the business’s headquarters in Scunthorpe and that extensive testing shows Zinoco will typically outlast traditional uncoated rail by around five times in a broad range of aggressive environments. “This is an exciting time for British Steel and Zinoco is a great example of our innovation and development of premium products for the global market place. Our highlyskilled employees create and manufacture world class steel

every day and we are proud of the response Zinoco has already received.”

Richard said it was developed

by British Steel in direct response to Network Rail’s requirement for more durable corrosion protection. Network Rail called for a coating that would withstand the rigours of real-life installation and use. He said: “We have developed Zinoco® to dramatically delay the onset of corrosion of rail in the broadest range of railway conditions.”

PcVue introduces proximity-based contextual mobility for SCADA Proximity-based services enabled by micro-geolocation for Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) are growing quickly. This technology has made possible the practical deployment of contextual Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). Remote access to supervisory systems have typically been accomplished by using internet browsers on laptops. With the increasing adoption of smart mobile devices, technology such as Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) has been adopted as an alternative for mobile HMI. Navigating an HMI designed for a workstation while using a much smaller mobile device can prove difficult given the reduced screen size and mechanism for managing the mouse. PcVue,

ARC Informatique’s core product, is seeking to eliminate this problem via the presentation of information and controls in the context of role and place. It provides a dynamic HMI that changes as the worker moves through workplace zones automatically adjusting for job responsibility. In a plant scenario, such a system is aware which floor a worker is on and automatically sends the status and controls of equipment in that worker’s proximity.

For safety, it is critical that the Mobility Server knows the current location of workers. With the ready availability of geolocation signals, IPS indoors and GPS outdoors, it is possible to track location by simply archiving the

device’s position over time. Safety and dispatch tracking are natural functions of the Mobility Server which relies on position in order to create contextual HMI. PcVue is reinventing the mobility architecture with smart mobile devices using proximity services in innovative ways.

Igus launches first carriage for linear guides At the 2016 Hannover Messe, the motion plastics specialist igus presented the first carriage for linear guides with different radii. The adaptable carriage can thus go into a curve from a straight line and is therefore suitable for a variety of applications in industry ranging from furniture to stage equipment. Even in the driver cabs of agricultural and commercial vehicles, there are specific requirements in a limited space is often expressed.

The advantages of drylin linear guides are ease of installation and maintenance-free use because the bearings do not have to be lubricated.

This year igus goes one step further and offers the first carriage for linear guides with different radii on a rail. The carriage is adaptive, whereby it is possible, for example, to move from a straight line into a curve.

“Entirely new possibilities open up especially in applications such as in office equipment or stage machinery,” explains Stefan Niermann, head of drylin linear and drive technology division at igus.

To compensate for the rail spacing, a pivoting spherical ball made of abrasion-resistant iglidur plastic is used in the new drylin carriage.

Thus, the carriage can move on flat rails as well as on concave or convex curved rails. Just as the carriage for a fixed radius, the new version is also available with manual clamping, whereby the carriage can be fixed

at any position. Users can order their custom curved aluminium rails with corresponding carriages from igus.

AS-Schneider’s E Series Valves and Manifolds can withstand extreme temperature Direct mount manifolds for pressure and differential pressure transmitters are normally protected against excess warming from hot process media through correspondingly long impulse lines. Nevertheless, many users have requested that the manifolds and their flange connection to the transmitter also easily withstand higher temperatures. The Markus Häffner E Series Valves and Manifolds by AS-Schneider are available upon request with sealing made of graphite. Thus they can be readily used up to 550 degrees Celsius – significantly more than required by the standards.

The international standard EN 61518 / IEC 61518 describes the flange connection between the manifolds and the pressure transmitters.

Here, the temperature limits of these connections are described, among other things: This is 80 degrees Celsius for PTFE sealing and 120 degrees Celsius for graphite sealing.

Manifolds with PTFE sealing are clearly at a disadvantage when used at high temperatures: The plastic becomes very soft at high temperatures causing the pressure of the process medium to press it into the available cavities.

With graphite, it is different: The carbon does not show any appreciable deformation even with extreme temperatures thus providing a durable, leakage-free flange connection. As in PTFE at the industrial valve manufacturer packing, graphite shows an AS-Schneider. AS-Schneider supplies intentional flow behaviour which the E Series Valves and Manifolds results from the mechanical with either PTFE or graphite clamping of the two flange halves sealing.

Cortec launches lithium complex grease for corrosion protection When it comes time to lubricate bearings, fans, chassis, or other metal areas where grease is applied, Cortec’s CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease offers longer lubrication enhanced with superior corrosion protection—even for use on electrical connections.

CorrLube™ VpCI Lithium EP Grease is a lithium complex grease formulated with premium quality, severely hydro treated base stock. It provides excellent resistance to oxidation and has high temperature stability; it is suitable for both operating and lay-up conditions. This lubricant’s formula is specifically designed with superior corrosion inhibiting properties against salt water, brine, H2S, HCl, and other corrosive agents.

Advantages of CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease include a cleaner application experience with decreased dripping and spattering. CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease remains effective even in extreme operating

conditions (i.e., high temperature, high pressure, low speed/high pressure, and shock loading) and aids in the suspension of solid additives such as graphite, molybdenum, disulfide, etc. Its thicker film consistency allows

it to operate on worn parts, provide surface protection against movement, and reduce noise level.

CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease has been under successful use by a major mining equipment manufacturer in Finland. The company had been using grease from one of Cortec’s competitors to protect electrical connections in control boxes. However, the grease was not performing well, and several areas were still corroding.

Cortec’s representative was able to offer CorrLube VpCI Lithium EP Grease as a more effective product that would meet requirements of a dielectric test while being flame retardant.

IEEMA’s four point agenda for Power & Electrical equipment sector To create a conducive climate for Make in India and for encouraging indigenous manufacturing and technology development, IEEMA recommends the following immediate steps: 1. Utility tenders for domestically funded projects: It is observed that some Government utilities procure equipment and services for domestically funded project against Internationally Competitive Bidding (ICB) route, even though sufficient capacity and technological competitiveness is available with the domestic industry. IEEMA recommends that ICB route route should not be allowed for procurement of goods and services for domestically funded projects. 15% price preference should be given to the domestic industry, as being done in case of ICB’s practiced for projects funded by multilateral funding agencies.

2. Mandatory vendor development program by utilities: Vendor development programs

should be followed by all utilities in case of products where no local producer is meeting the past sales records in order to support Indian manufacturing.

3. Mandatory testing of all imported electrical equipment: For supply of electrical equipment, wherever test certificate is a prerequisite, it should be mandated that testing of equipment of foreign suppliers should be done only in Indian laboratories, like the Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) and Electrical Research & Development Association (ERDA).

4. Standard contract terms and specifications for same product across all utilities: State utilities have heterogeneous procurement policies and qualifying criteria for vendors for similar products. There is an urgent need for standardization of rating and specifications used in the distribution sector, as also in the bidding document.

IEEMA welcomes Central Electricity Authority decision Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA) today welcomed the new domestic procurement norm by Central Electricity Authority, according to which, any equipment or material for Government-funded power projects will have to be procured locally through domestic competitive bidding.

IEEMA President, Babu Babel said,” We at IEEMA are delighted and welcome this landmark decision of CEA. This decision will go a long way to address the underutilization of existing manufacturing facilities of domestic electrical equipment manufacturers. The decision will also address the concern of large scale penetration of foreign equipment in the sensitive power sector”.

“Domestic manufacturers have invested heavily in technology transfer from their principals or have developed technology indigenous for creating and expanding manufacturing capacities, manpower and skill development to meet the growing demand. This decision will go a long way in making “Make in India” a reality. Thus the Indian Electrical Equipment Industry whole heartedly welcomes domestic procurement norm issued by the Central Electricity Authority.” said Mr. Sunil Misra, Director General, IEEMA. The decision also emphasizes that, if any international competitive bidding is necessary, then the quoted price has to be in India Rupees only. Since foreign manufacturers will be required to establish manufacturing facility in India within a specific timeframe and ensure transfer of technology under a Phased Manufacturing Program, this will pave way for the domestic manufacturing sector. This point was a part of the four point agenda, represented by IEEMA, during the first meeting of “Make in India” chaired by the Prime Minister on 25th September 2014.

Vibration protection solution for world’s longest railway tunnel launched Getzner has developed a special vibration protection measure to ensure passenger comfort and durability of the track in the world’s longest railway tunnel. Until the opening in June 2016, testing is in full swing.

Once it opens in June, 250 trains travelling at speeds of up to 250 km/h (approximately ten trains per hour) will use the Gotthard Base Tunnel, which connects Swiss municipalities Erstfeld and Bodio.

To guarantee high availability and a long service life for the railway superstructure despite the significant loads, Getzner Werkstoffe has been developing a special vibration protection measure over the last few years. After all, the demands for this project are particularly high: when the tunnel is in frequent use, ambient temperatures can reach up to

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

40°C and humidity can be as high as 70%. The high speeds of the trains also exert strong pressure and suction forces, which put the material under above-average stress. Elastic Sylodyn bearings for the single block sleepers and high-speed turnouts have been installed in both tunnel tubes for the slab track and on sections of the approach routes. “The vibration protection measure reduces vibrations, and therefore wear of the superstructure components, minimising the maintenance required on the track,” explains Juergen Rainalter, Chief Executive Officer of Getzner. This project imposed very high demands on the railway technology in the Gotthard Base Tunnel, because all the materials have to deliver excellent performance over the entire planned service life of the tunnel.

ElectroMech bags “The Machinist Super ShopFloor Award” for Innovation ElectroMech, the biggest crane manufacturer in India by volume has recently bagged “The Machinist Super ShopFloor Award” for Innovation. This award has been presented to ElectroMech by The Machinist magazine, a times of India group initiative during an award ceremony held on 26th May 2016 at Hotel Hyatt Regency, Pune. ElectroMech won this award for the 150MT customised crane solution designed for L&T to be used on launching girders for segment handling to replace existing type of winch system.

The innovative cane solution designed by ElectroMech is robust, safe and dependable crane solution replacing the bulky, cumbersome and maintenance prone traditional Winch system. Primary attribute for this innovation is very precise cross travel movement through use of hydraulics in the crane (for the first time) and near equal load distribution of wheels required in designing of other structures. It took five months to design and four months to implement this innovative system.

The lower and uniform distribution of wheel loads results in considerably lower weight of structures of launching girders. In addition to this, requirement of 5 to 10 mm cross travel precise movement has been reduced to 1 mm, making it completely safe operation. Also modular design of leg heights has been reduced, which benefits to save all

future height requirements. This innovative crane solution is operator friendly and consumes less energy as compared to conventional Winch system due to its less weight.

Commenting on the occasion, Tushar Mehendale, Managing Director, ElectroMech said, “this award truly replicates our commitment to bring out innovative crane solutions for the complex requirements of our customers.

Innovation has become a tradition at ElectroMech. On another part, such awards do bring along additional responsibility to continuously improve and maintain the best quality of our crane solutions. Apart from the customers, who put the strong faith in our capabilities, this award is also an acknowledgement for the support and dedication of our vendors and employees as well” ElectroMech is a well appreciated brand for its innovative approach in the industry. The company has received several awards for Innovation in the past, including the innovation award for its products like Tunnel Mucking System, Single Failure Proof Crane for Nuclear Power Corporation of India and Stacker Crane to name a few.

Pramet launches new milling grade Pramet has launched a new milling grade and also expanded its face milling range for stainless steels. The M6330 grade has been developed specifically to achieve longer cutting edge durability and reliability in a range of difficult-to-machine materials with and without coolant.

Particularly suited to adverse cutting conditions, including interrupted cutting, the grade is now available with many of Pramet’s most popular inserts, including the ADMX, HNGX, LNGX, LNMU, OEHT and numerous

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

other ranges. It promotes greater operational reliability and tool life, with a high resistance to heat-related cracks. This is due to improved abrasion resistance from a new substrate and PVD coating.

The new grade is the latest of many new products recently launched by Pramet for machining stainless steels. Meanwhile, Pramet has also added to its face milling range for stainless steel with new, larger diameter cutters and inserts for greater depths of cut and more powerful machines.

These latest tools include the octagonal OEHT 09 inserts, suitable for unstable conditions and machining fragile components in stainless steels and soft steels up to depths of 5mm. The versatile tool can be used for both roughing and finishing operations, providing increased tooling economy and significant savings on machine time.

In a recent product test, machining a piece of steel (3900mm x 3200mm) with coolant, the OEHT performed the roughing and finishing operation in 52 minutes. A competitor tool performed the same task in the same conditions in 252 minutes with roughing and finishing operations done separately.

High quality & high precision are the buzzwords of any

DIE-MOULD BUSINESS Q. How is die & Mould making industry shaping itself in India? What kind of opportunities and challenges you can see?

The Die and Mould making industry in India has evolved over the years and today competes in a global arena. With an increasing demand from industries such as automobiles, auto components, packaging, plastics, electronics, electrical, healthcare and machine tools, we see a huge opportunity in the Die and Mould making industry in India.

High quality and high precision are the buzzwords of any Die-Mould business. The tool room industry is undergoing a change in manufacturing practices. Where earlier, only few important components were manufactured using the CNC machine, now the industry is switching over entirely to CNC to gain a competitive edge.

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

It has now considered as the ‘Mother of the Manufacturing’. Die & Mould Associations in India is looking forward to gain engineering excellence with an aim to establish India as global manufacturing hub. With the globalization within the die & mould industry, we are seeing qualitative improvement in the type of moulds being used in various industries. The Indian tool room is also rapidly changing by using CNC machining to manufacture.

Q. What kind of technologies are present in the die & mould making industry?

Lot of technologies are coming up in die & mould making industry. The segment requires best surface finishing of the Die Mould machines.

Below we list some of the technological trends that the die and mould manufacturers can try their hands on:-

Q. How can you describe the growth Indian die & mould industry has seen in the span of 10 years?

1. “SSS” (Super Smooth Surface) Technology:

Die & Mould makers in India can today confidently compete with the global market and over the years have recorded transformational and all-round market growth.

SSS controls to provide an optimal speed control function for machining die mold with smooth surface. It also ensures high machining stability and quality with virtually no effects

92 IN FOCUS

resulting from cutting shape or speed.

As a result, the following effects can be obtained in the SSS control.

1 A stabilized and High-quality processing is realized • Irrespective of the speed and shape command to achieve high quality processing in a stable.

• There are no streaks on the processing surface even in the command shape that changes consecutively 2. Reduction of processing time • Conventional ratio 5:30% of time reduction (Comparison with the same accuracy) • Especially the effect is remarkable when feed rate is higher 3. Easy parameter setting • Parameter adjustment for correction of shape is not required • Easy adjustment such as Efficiency-oriented and Accuracy-oriented

2. Right CAD/CAM solutions: Right design is necessary for a success of any product. With the use of proper CAD/CAM solutions, the risk of errors drastically goes down as it automated eventually reducing human intervention. Generally, in CAM to create a machining program, the motion curve of the tool relative to the workpiece is calculated by approximating the minute line segments. Therefore small error is more or less included in the data of minute line segment.

For example, as shown in Fig.1, there are many cases like the minute error of the zig-zag shape or the shape of a level difference is contained within the limits of the permissible error (tolerance) on CAM processing, to form the process originally.

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

3. High Speed Machining: HSM is considered to be most promising technology as it helps in reducing the production time and cost of producing high precision surface finishes. The tool life is also extended, though proper care must be taken to tailor and balance the tool.

4. Rapid Tooling: Rapid tooling aims to reduce cycle times by 40% as compared to conventional machining.

The use of conformal cooling, bimetal layering and better mould materials, like aluminium, allow quicker thermal conductivity in moulds.

Also, the rapid processes allow for production of inserts and mould tooling in less than 48 hours. Rapid processes are also capable of producing modifications in the tool, like undercuts or side-action easily.

Q. What does Mitsubishi Electric India offers to the die & mould makers?

Mitsubishi Electric offers new generation controllers that are developed with many standard functions to suit the current market requirement and excel in years to come. A number of specially-developed control functions, such as “SSS” (Super Smooth Surface) -- the high-grade Mitsubishi Electric CNC M70/M700V Series delivers Super Smooth Surface (SSS) Control. SSS flexibly supports various compound machining, including multipart system/multi-axis machining centres, milling and hobbing. Mitsubishi Electric provides the control necessary for high-performance milling.

With fully developed 1 nano precision -machining technology, range of special highspeed, high-accuracy functions all come as standard, resulting in faster block processing time and ensures the highest level of precision therefore resulting in shorter machining time .

This functionality improves the accuracy and

better productivity in machined parts.

Q. Dr. Beumer, what can you tell us about trends that are currently important in intralogistics?

smartphone. If they don’t like what they’ve bought, they just send it back.

Intralogistics is a cornerstone of the global economy.

For companies it is no longer a necessary evil; it is crucial for gaining a competitive edge and creating added value. Moreover, it opens the way to new business models, such as e-commerce and customization of products and services. We’ve all discovered how convenient it is to order goods via the Internet. Online shops are open all the time, and customers can shop anywhere and at any time from a computer, tablet or

Q. What new challenges has this created for intralogistics?

The demand for reliable, flexible delivery is steadily growing. In online retailing same-day delivery has almost become standard, especially with groceries.

Customers expect to get what they ordered right away, whether it’s frozen pizza, strawberry ice cream or lettuce. This trend is accompanied by an atomization of orders. Businesses and private individuals have

IN FOCUS 95

no notion of the effort involved when they order a product and then a second one a few minutes later and expect the two to be combined in a single delivery – oh yes, and when the package comes to the house, please ring only once. The increasing flow of goods in e-commerce, along with the problem of handling returns, has led to greater connectivity, automation and system integration. For me, these are the key areas that are providing solutions.

Q. Could you explain that in more detail?

Supply chains nowadays are organized and interconnected from end to end – from the source of raw materials to the consumer’s door and continuing on to returns, disposal and recycling. The driving forces are the expectations of consumers and industrial customers.

For consumers, what counts is the benefit they expect from products and services. Products and services must be tailored to their individual interests and needs. For industrial customers, whose main concern is high productivity, efficient production processes are paramount.

Here reliable, cost-effective logistics is indispensable.

But the new emphasis on individuality has set the bar so high for logistics that stackers and high-bay warehouses by themselves are no longer sufficient. Technical solutions at the starting points and connection points, in other words value-added services, are becoming increasingly important, plus software control.

Q. How important is flexibility in supply chains?

It is critical. Globalization is bringing about lasting changes in markets and the economy. The economy is becoming more international, but also more regional. On the one hand, customers in Europe configure their laptops on the web and have them assembled in Texas, while their summer clothes are sewn in Vietnam. And they want to receive these products at the front door within 48 hours. On the other hand, they want to buy locally grown organic food. The same is true for businesses. They order products on the global market, but they still want to have their specialized suppliers in the vicinity. All companies, large and small, must adjust to these new patterns of procurement, production and sales. This is leading to far-reaching changes in the supply chain and it will require enormous flexibility. Without efficient intralogistics none of this will be possible.

Q. The theme of CeMAT 2016 was “Smart Supply Chain Solutions”. What does this mean?

The theme was a very good choice. It calls attention to the fact that future processes in logistics will be automated and interconnected. Increasing digitization will bring about fundamental changes in value chains, and entirely new business models will emerge. The adoption of digital technology and the associated changes in people’s thinking will create new challenges not only for logistics companies, but also for service providers of all kinds. For them, success in the future will depend even more on the capabilities of their logistics centers.

Intralogistics and digitization are inseparably linked. Industry 4.0 is already a reality, as is the internet of things, which in many areas has become part of everyday life. The opportunities are enormous because we’re talking about highly scalable systems. Intelligent solutions are already available, but the possibilities of this technology are by no means exhausted.

For example, increasing numbers of logistics companies and warehouse operators are opting for autonomous in-house transport systems that select their own routes, and for warehouses that detect empty stocks in real time and fill them.

Q. Companies have been using driverless transport systems for some time now. Do you see a trend here?

Yes, a clear one. The trend is away from heavy, inflexible handling equipment to small, multifunctional vehicles. The latter are much more versatile when it comes to in-house transport and warehouse operations. The vehicles independently agree on which of them should do which job and what routes to take. I see a direct correlation here with the growing trend towards small load carriers and goods packed in cartons. These are being used more and more as a result of e-commerce and atomization. In addition, lean concepts are becoming more important in assembly, in combination with smaller inventories and order quantities.

Intralogistics is undergoing a radical transformation.

Q. What must be done to cope with these changes?

We must plan processes with the future in mind and devise safe and reliable technical systems. This will mean more and more

processors, user controls, software and control units. All of these elements must be integrated into a harmonious, ergonomic, efficient and user-friendly system that is able to handle the gigantic quantities of data. The complexity of logistics makes IT indispensable; it is the only means of intelligently controlling the flow of goods. We will need smart solutions for the supply chain. The performance of IT systems and components will have to be continuously improved. This applies to more than storage and distribution; it extends to areas such as manufacturing and the supplying of assembly workstations, and it also includes the consumer.

In all parts of the supply chain value creation and profitability will thus increase. There will also be benefits for mechanical and systems engineering. In many companies software already accounts for half of the new solutions being developed, or even more.

Q. What does this mean for you as a manufacturer of equipment and systems for intralogistics?

Nowadays, unless we decide to alter machinery and equipment, we can often only achieve increases in performance and efficiency by creating better software. This opens up an exciting area of activity for us, one with great benefits for our customers. We have grown from being a component supplier to become a system integrator. We equip our systems with intelligent software and control units from the very start. This is a big advantage for users.

Their processes are more flexible, and they are efficient even with a batch size of one. With a comprehensive database our customers can optimize their processes from start to finish and achieve significant savings thanks to greater transparency.

Q. What did CeMAT hold in store for visitors?

CeMAT presented solutions for all of these trends and highlighted areas of potential.

The focus of the exhibition, logistics IT, was important owing its relevance to all areas of logistics. Software has a bearing on all areas and connects them. CeMAT therefore was a must not only for IT experts, but also for logistics specialists, production managers and business managers throughout the world. They had an opportunity to survey the entire market and discover what will be in the production facilities and logistics factories of tomorrow.

96 MANAGEMENT

How to achieve time management with CLOCKWORK PRECISION T he most sustainable realization is that there is no other commodity in this world as valuable as Time. A cynical postscript would, however, stoically state that this commodity is as elusive as it is valuable.

Naturally, achievers and successful people all over the globe cite Time Management as the Magic formula for their success and as an analogy call it synonymous with “Khul ja Simsim”, the utterance of which revealed the treasure trove to all and sundry.

Here is a twelve point formula to take time on your side and utilize every hour of the day to your best advantage. Imagine that each point is for a single denomination on the clock... One can only think of making friends with the clock

by Time Management!

1. A modular approach is the best approach to executing any task. It is a great idea to tackle each day one at a time rather than think of weeks and months. Hence, a daily task designer and a specific time limit for the same is the first step towards Time Management. A well thought out list of do’s may help one to sort out the tasks on the basis of their urgency. It is important to assess the completion of the allotted tasks, both in terms of quality and quantity. Moreover, a self-appraisal comment in a logbook or diary would be an excellent tool towards self improvement.

2. As an extrapolation of a Daily plan, a Calendar or Organiser would give one a larger picture of short and long-term tasks on hand. This in turn would be of great help to “bunch” and “batch up” the “things to do”.

Most people who have mastered the art of Time Management would admit that they have, in fact, a very accurate estimate of what is do-able by them in a given frame of time. This habit is acquired gradually using

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

a Plan of sorts.

3. Deadlines sound like death knells to people who are totally haywire with time! So why not begin with self discipline? Allot deadlines for a task completion and be very strict with yourself. Use the license to chastise and reward whatever would be the outcome. The more one meets self imposed deadlines, the more world ready one gets.

4. Reminders can be set to meet allotted Deadlines. This is not a Corollary but a main point Mantra to get on top of Time. Do put a “tick” when a task is completed... it adds to the “feel good factor”.

5. Task acceptance can be compared to that enticingly delicious dish one allows on one’s plate to devour with relish. This is a wonderful exercise provided one has an accurate assessment of one’s appetite. Hence, never agree to do more than your capacity. The skill to say “NO” politely, genuinely and firmly is certainly not escapism, rather it is a giant step towards Time Management.

Better not bite off more than one can chew.

6. Time has always been depicted to us as sand slipping away from one’s fingers, lost forever to eternity, hence, one has to keep estimating the time spent and how much of the precious commodity remains. Without making it obsessive, a Clock visibility habit is a good habit The clock should be used pragmatically, not to scare but to caution.

7. The very valid and inspiring example of the single-minded Arjuna would serve to inspire one and all as far as the ability to focus is concerned. Execution of any task needs one to give 100% and concentration is a prerequisite to the completion of any work on

hand. Naturally one needs to be minimally distracted or in fact not at all. This can be done consciously by the person working and “not available” could be a status which would be a forerunner to a large amount of work being done underway.

8. ‘Prioritize the work and stick to the priorities’ is another success dictum of people at hand. Unimportant would be bottom of the list and topmost would be a task with pride of place both in urgency and importance.

This skill of making lists improves with practice!

9. Eliminate Time wasters. Those “wicked” bits of useless jobs which gobble up minutes and hours and finally days and months result in nothing. Always multitask. Do more than one thing at a time. This will provide the required respite through variety and serve to reduce monotony.

10. While multitasking, one gets a clear idea of what can easily be delegated and by all means one should do exactly that. In order to retain quality, one can oversee the work and also assess the completed task.

11. Be realistic as far as required time calculation for a task. Always leave some “Buffer time”. Murphy’s Law is all about being grounded not being pessimistic.

12. Archive your task execution. It will help you to better yourself. It will give you confidence and yes you will feel proud of yourself. All of us can do with a morale boost!

Remember: “Take Time as your partner and not as your opponent.”

AUTOMATED WELDING

An Imperative for Competitive Advantage

T

he shortage of skilled workers is no surprise to anyone in the manufacturing sector. You may be just reading about in the headlines or see discussions about it on the nightly news, but we live it. Statistics from the Manufacturing Institute state that thousands of manufacturing jobs are going unfilled in India and the rest of the world simply because employers are unable to find candidates with the right skill sets for the open positions. The association also reveals that 75% of manufacturers attribute this skills gap as hampering business expansion efforts. Two of the biggest areas with jobs going unfilled are machining and welding.

At ADOR Welding Limited, there is a fully equipped Welding Demonstration Centre at the Equipment Plant in Pune, where there are frequent visits from manufacturers. They come to our facility to see what automated welding is all about. They visited to assess whether or not automation could solve not only their production and throughput issues but also their hiring challenges. In many cases, these individuals walk away with a game plan to improve their productivity and quality, and fill empty positions. And, automated welding is at the heart of that plan. In fact, to achieve the perfect qualities and higher levels of productivities, most manufacturing processes involving metal joining and cutting are moving towards

Automation, partial or complete process lines.

Complete Robotic Work cells (unmanned) with intelligent handling, vision control and anti-collision systems have been developed both for automobile as well as other heavier fabrication industries like shipbuilding, heavy structural fabrication etc.

Narrow Gap MIG, TIG and SAW systems are invariably fully automated with multi-axis motion controls, seam tracking, intelligent arc control, and capable of rolling out a variety of parts with the touch of a fingertip to change the job program number. Wind Tower fabrica-

tion, ship building, pressure vessel fabrication, pipe lines – all are industries moving heavily towards these processes.

Fully automated laser stitch and spot welders will come largely in application in the thin sheet fabrication in automobiles and aircrafts.

Friction Stir Welding Automation is another exciting automated process which can weld a wide variety of thicknesses using the same outfit – 1.2 to 25 mm in one-sided welding and up to 50 mm in two- sided welding. This process does not require any filler material, as most environment friendly as it does not give out any

Quality also is a determining factor in the decision to automate the welding process. An example is a manufacturer who has welded the same part for 20 years. The company has been spending close to large sums per month as people’s salaries, just to grind spatter off the part and change out filters in a paint system.

A customized robotic welding system incorporated in the same factory was able to provide stable, reduced-heat, short-arc pulse. Within hours of getting the parts into the robotic cell, the company was welding parts with zero spatter. Companies don’t usually talk about scrap and quality issues freely, but they are real.

In manual welding, if you run into an issue and can’t solve it, you have to shut down the entire process and do touch-up. And for the manufacturers who don’t accept touch-up on parts, if a problem is detected halfway through production, those parts will become costly scrap.

With robotic welding, there is a much simpler solution in a program known as production monitoring. There are systems that deliver real-time welding system monitoring.

Beyond production monitoring capabilities and crucial alerts, robotic welders also have another benefit when it comes to quality– easy access to all angles of a semi-complex or complex part. Because the part can be rotated,

the operator can program the robot to access sections of it that can’t be reached manually without stopping to reposition it. This 360-degree view and access facilitates quality welds and increased production.

Automation helps fill the skills gap As the economy changes and the workforce changes, the primary reason why people automate also changes. In today’s environment, manufacturers are turning to automation on the production floor to fill jobs and provide the productivity and quality required to keep North America competitive. Last year, when manufacturers were enjoying increased sales, they turned to automation to get more product made. Today, they are doing it because they are having trouble manufacturing parts, period.

Why? Because they just can’t find trained welders. When you can’t find qualified welders, robots make sense. You can make different parts without needing to find people simply by changing out cell components. Additionally, when you automate, the person who oversaw the welding in that cell remains there and works closely with the technologist or engineer who oversees the programming and work environment of that robot. You do bring in people, but you train them to a higher skill level. Many traditional welders are more than capable to be trained as technologists or even as engineers.

In some ways, automation gives manufacturers a new way to invest in people. In a typical fiveyear cycle, you incrementally boost production and move people up in the organization, while improving sales.

Not “if,” but “when” For manufacturers who have not yet incorporated robotic welding cells into their production line, the question truly isn’t if they should pursue automation, but when. Automation of any sort provides the competitive advantage North America needs to remain relevant in the manufacturing segment. Manufacturing is the engine that will spur economic growth, automation is a key cog in manufacturing, and welding remains a critical cost driver to support manufacturing.

Robotic welding is a critical component to improving productivity, efficiency, cost, and quality. Investing in our workforce through education, training, and automation will help maintain the dominant position the United States has held for the last century.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning for

OXYGEN SERVICE Do we clean our components for oxygen service?

It’s a question we hear all the time. Often it is because our customer will use the regulator or valve in oxygen service, but not always.

Many times, our customers will request O2 cleaning even though their media is anything but oxygen. This level of cleaning has become a benchmark in the specialty gas market for the specific level of cleanliness of wetted flow path parts. Primarily, if a regulator or valve is cleaned for oxygen service, it means that all components in contact with the process media are free of hydrocarbons (oil, grease, and other contaminants), as well as particles large enough to causes pars that can lead to fires.

ASTM G – 93 and CGA G-4.1 are standards defining what methods and equipment are suggested to achieve and verify a specific level of cleanliness for oxygen service. These standards do not attempt to identify a specific construction that is suitable for oxygen service

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

(acceptable materials of construction for oxygen service are covered by other industry standards).

Instead, they recommend the methods for cleaning, and specify the methodology for verifying the resulting level of cleanliness of piece parts and assemblies. ASTM G-93 defines several levels of cleanliness for various applications for equipment used in oxygen-enriched environments, along with the methods used to verify these levels of cleanliness. Tescom uses ASTM G-93 as its standard for cleaning.

In fact, any component that we sell through the industrial division is packaged with a label that includes the following: “This product is cleaned in accordance with ASTM G – 93 and CGA G-4.1 (This assures removal of visible particles and combustible residues).”

Kindling Chain Ignition So what does this all mean to the end user?

TECH TRENDS 111

Essentially, through a series of cleaning and evaluation steps, the component has been cleaned, assembled, and packaged in a controlled manner that assures the end user that no particles or combustible residues are present on the wetted surfaces. These particles and combustible residue can then act as ignition mechanisms for an oxygen fire under the right conditions.

Every day, someone learns about the need for leaning components used in oxygen service the hard way Most common among the metal working industry, oxygen fires often occur in the regulator set of an oxy/acetylene welding rig. The welder may have carelessly tossed the regulator set on the ground when changing cylinders, or perhaps didn’t cap the end of the cylinder after a long day of welding, allowing dirt to enter the outlet of the cylinder valve.

When the regulator is connected to a cylinder of oxygen, and the cylinder valve is opened, high pressure oxygen flows into the regulator at a high velocity.

The oxygen reaches the main valve of the regulator, which is usually in the closed position. In this situation two opportunities for an oxygen fire exist. The first is from the impingement of dirt and other particles moving at high velocity within the component. The second is due to heat of compression. Heat is generated from the conversion of mechanical energy when a gas is compressed from a low to a high pressure. High gas temperatures can result if this compression occurs quickly to simulate near – adiabatic conditions.

This temperature rise may be high enough to cause the plastic seat or o-ring material in the regulator to ignite. Plastics and elastomers have what is called an auto- ignition temperature that refers to the temperature at which the material will ignite in the presence of 100% oxygen. A seat fire or o-ring fire will promote consequential burn of the surrounding metal.

This condition is often referred to as promoted ignition or kindling chain ignition.

Avoiding a fire Impingement occurs when a particle or particles entrained in the gas are moving at a high velocity through the component, and begin hitting a wall or other fixed object in the body of the component. When the particle impacts the body of the component at high velocity, there is a chance that a spark is created at the moment of impact. This spark can trigger a

fire, selected fueled by the body material, and supported by the oxygen - rich atmosphere.

For metals, there is a property called Absolute Threshold Pressure that refers to the pressure at which the metal will support self-sustained combustion in oxygen atmospheres. All of the 300 series stainless steels have threshold pressures near 500 psi while aluminum supports combustion at pressures as low as 35 psi. + Once the oxygen fire begins, it continues until the system pressure is reduced to a point where combustion is no longer possible.

This usually occurs when the fire has burned through the wall of the regulator resulting in a dangerous explosion of fire and material.

When looking for a component to be used in an oxygen environment, choosing plastic parts with high auto-ignition temperatures and metals with higher threshold pressures will substantially reduce the potential for oxygen fires. Brass and Monel are commonly used metals while PCTFE and Viton® are commonly used soft goods. For more information about oxygen-compatible constructions, please contact Tescom engineers for assistance.

We’ve discussed the need for special cleaning for oxygen service, but why would someone specify this level of cleaning for applications of other gases? There are no other industry standards that quantify a level of cleanliness as specific as cleaning for oxygen service. It is the benchmark of clean, you might say. So, rather than spelling it out in a long, windy text specification how the device should be cleaned, verified, and packaged, the customer simply requests cleaning for oxygen service. Of course, this by no means implies that any component cleaned for oxygen service is suitable for oxygen service, but we now know that the device is hydrocarbon and particle free, making it suitable for all manner of analytical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Tescom’s Industrial Controls Division cleans and packages all pressure regulators and valves for oxygen service as a standard feature of our product offering. There is no need to specify it separately.

ROLLON: How to choose the right

TELESCOPIC BEARING The telescopic bearings from Rollon deliver high load capacity and rigidity for applications in harsh industrial environments. If your application requires one, there are some things you’ll want to consider like material and stroke options, load placement and life calculation. Here are some pointers to help you pick the right bearing for your application.

Rollon offers a wide range of telescopic guides with high rigidity, high load capacity, 200% extension and several accessories available.

Materials To minimize deflection, carefully consider all possible materials for your telescopic bearing.

Some common materials, along with their pros and cons, include:

Aluminum: Even though it’s a good choice for lightweight and low duty applications, aluminum has more deflection than other materials. Rollon related products: Hegra Rail

Stamped Steel: Easily the most economical choice, stamped steel doesn’t handle vibration and shock loads as well as other materials. Rollon related products: Light Rail

Cold Rolled Steel: Cold rolled steel is another low cost option that doesn’t undergo heat-treatment. However, in case of heavy loads, pitting and denting occurs in raceways since the ball hardness is greater than the rail and slider.Rollon related products: Opti Rail, Hegra Rail

Hardened Cold Rolled Steel: For the most robust designs, hardened cold rolled sliders and raceways are your best bet.

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

TECH TRENDS 115

The new Hegra Rail family of telescopic guides includes guides with an extended length up to 200% greater than the closed length (overextension).

Even though they’re most expensive to manufacture and assemble, this material lets you preload for better rigidity and less deflection.

Rollon related products: Telescopic Rail

Stroke Options When picking a telescopic bearing, there are three stroke options to choose from: partial, full and over-extension.

Partial extension stroke refers to an extension length that’s 50 to 65% less than the closed length. Rollon related products: ASN, LPS In a full extension stroke, the extended length is equal to the closed length.

Rollon related products: DE, DS, DSC, DBN, DMS, DRT, LTH, LTF, LFS, LFX, DRX/DRS With over-extension, the extended length is up to 200% greater than the closed length.

Rollon related products:DSE, H2D, H2C, H2T Telescopic rails also come with dual or double stroke configurations, allowing loads to move in both directions while maintaining the same closed length.

Load Placement Another important factor to consider is load placement. Your load’s center of gravity should be placed as close as possible to the centre of the moving element for even load distribution among the balls. Load calculations are usually made with the assumption that the load is properly distributed. When calculating the static load a safety factor S has to be used, it takes into account the basic parameters of the application and it can have a value between 1 and 3,5 in the following formula: The telescopic guides produced by Rollon are available with several accessories like locking systems, snaps or damping systems.

where P is the effective load, C the permissible load and S the safety factor.

Life Calculation When sizing a telescoping bearing for continuous operation, make sure you use the right life calculation and dynamic load capacity. Some manufacturers express load and deflection specifications based on the slides being used in pairs, while others think of load capacity using a single rail. You should take the time to understand how the slides are rated and what specifications the manufacturer provides.

The service life of a telescopic rail is dependent on several factors, such as the effective load, the installation precision, occurring shocks and vibrations, the operating temperature, the ambient conditions and the lubrication.

The service life can be calculated with the following formula:

Lkm = calculated service life in km δ = load capacity factor in N W = equivalent load in N fi = application coefficient

Pepperl+Fuchs launches

CLOUD based sensor services

Sensors are valuable sources of information and can also be used outside of conventional machine and plant engineering to optimize processes and conserve resources.

T

he Internet of Things opens up new possibilities for networking even sensors spread over long distances. Sensor signals can be provided at exactly the right time in the place where the information contained in the signals can be used profitably. For example, the detection of filling levels using modern sensor technology is possible in most cases with lesser or greater ease. Where containers are spread over long distances, however, greater cost is often involved with the transmission of sensor signals. This means automated solutions have to be disregarded and filling levels have to be monitored manually with more or less regular observations.

With networking via the Internet, level data from a large number of sensors spread over long distances can be processed centrally and prepared for further processing. An application has been developed with partner connect which uses sensors to record the filling levels of the reservoirs of a number of filling machines in use across various production sites and manages these levels centrally. The replenishment logistics are simplified as a result and downtimes due to a lack of materials are avoided. In addition, if the filling level falls below a critical level, a message is sent to the mobile phone of the person responsible for replenishment.

A different application has been implemented together with SAP. A sensor for type verification of light units for mobile compressors is used in this application and the data from

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

this sensor is supplied in the cloud of an MES system that organizes the material flow for the complete assembly of the compressors.

Status data from sensors in company IT The increase in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is one of the most important applications of Industry 4.0. The retrofitting of existing production systems poses major challenges for plant operators. The application presented as a joint project by Pepperl+Fuchs, TE Connectivity, and Software AG uses hardware that can easily be retrofitted. This is based on the sensor level of the SmartBridge interface from Pepperl+Fuchs and on the control and fieldbus level of the spark device of TE Connectivity. These two data ports transmit the extracted performance data via cable or via a radio interface to the business platform of Software AG.

Value added services

• Provides a good picture of the actual (maintenance) status of the machine or plant • Can trigger a field service application on necessity • Can reveal less obvious delays or micro-downtimes with the help of a historical data recorder

This platform allows three important added value services within the context of Industry 4.0 through data consolidation with a downstream analysis: • Process optimization Spark: This uses the process data from sensors and actuators from the control level and displays this on a dashboard, which also reveals less obvious delays or micro-downtimes with the help of a historical data recorder.

• Status monitoring: A correlation of historical events with the actual machine runtimes and maintenance recommendations of the manufacturers provide a good picture of the actual (maintenance) status of the machine or plant.

• Service on demand: Photoelectric sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs even provide information about diminishing detection capability due to soiling of the exit lens or the reflector. This information is extracted from the machine circuit with the help of the SmartBridge interface and transmitted to a service platform via an Internet gateway.

The platform evaluates the status information from the sensors and, where necessary, triggers a field service application, which can be completed either by internal or external maintenance service providers.

n inferior power grid quality along with the growing use of sensitive electronics has led to increased downtimes. There is a competitive advantage to be had where the production process runs smoothly even when the grid quality is deficient.

Special attention should therefore be paid to the power supply, which is the core of any installation. In this way, unexpected costs due to voltage drops can be avoided in advance.

Voltage interruptions affect the production process: they lead to loss of data as well as a breakdown of the control system, resulting in expensive damage to equipment and the product when a machine restarts automatically.

Even short downtimes can lead to high costs. In such cases, investment in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) pays off in a very short time.

Scenario of power supply Plant operators all over the world are faced with unstable grids that necessitate the use of power supplies with a high failure bridging time, buffer modules or uninterruptible power supplies According to breakdown statistics, breakdowns in the medium voltage grids are due to the following reasons -weather conditions, short circuits, line interruptions or technical failures. Almost half of these breakdowns led to interruptions in power supply.

DC UPS- Plays a significant role in increasing plant & system availability Phoenix Contact offers a complete product concept for a more reliable power supply: all power supplies of its Step, Mini and Quint models offer a power failure bridging time of more than 20 ms under full load. The Quint DC-UPS provides long buffer times along with VRLA, LI-ION and CAP Power storage batteries. They are especially suitable for an uninterrupted supply to control units, machines and systems with high downtime costs or those where the downtime could

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

damage expensive products and equipment.

The new generation device from Phoenix Contact is now equipped with the IQ technology. It provides the necessary information to ensure the stability of the supply at any time with optimum utilization of the battery. In all currently available solutions in the market, there is always one point unknown: Sufficient information of the Energy storage.

IQ Technology provides information on charge status and life expectancy The intelligent Quint UPS-IQ determines all relevant states of the battery. It offers the indispensable transparency to guarantee the stability of the supply at any time and with optimum utilization of the battery. You can easily set the parameters thru UPS CONF Software in your PC. The intelligent battery management knows the current state of charge of the battery connected and calculates the available remaining time.

Accordingly, supply sufficient power to other connected equipment and Industrial PC. The time required for shutdown of the PC is set thru software and an early shutdown of industrial

PCs can be avoided.

The remaining life expectancy of the battery is known. This allows servicing to be planned.

If the battery is replaced at the ideal time, costs are also avoided that would occur by replacing the battery too early or after failure.

Minimum downtimes offer a definite competitive advantage. Phoenix Contact offers a comprehensive product range for a reliable power supply that enables individual solutions for a smooth production process.

hether in the drives of ship propellers, mobile platforms such as drilling platforms for oil and gas extraction, or also in tidal power plants – the areas of application for disk pack couplings in the maritime industry are diverse. For example, if the main drive of a ship propeller is an electric motor, then spring steel disk pack couplings such as the ROBA®-DS by mayr® power transmission provide decisive advantages.

These couplings are robust, reliable and temperature-resistant: They are therefore particularly suitable for use in extreme environmental conditions at sea. Furthermore, the ROBA®-DS couplings are wear-free, i.e. they reduce the maintenance effort required to a minimum.

Just as for the previous model ROBA®-D, mayr® power transmission has also received the type approval from the DNV GL (Det Norske Veritas und Germanic Lloyd) for this even more compact and high performance density ROBA®-DS all-steel coupling up to construction size 2200. This certificate confirms the high quality and reliability of the coupling with customary safe dimensioning and design, and ensures the maximum possible operating and functional safety for use on the high seas.

disk pack couplings are especially suited for operations in extreme environmental conditions at sea. The type approval by the DNV GL confirms the high quality and reliability of the couplings and ensures maximum possible operating safety on the high seas.

High performance and backlash-free The nominal torques stated in the catalogue can be utilised without any limitations using

the ROBA®-DS disk pack coupling. A reduction of the nominal torque due to misalignment, overall load configuration or balancing requirements is not necessary. The couplings are compact and feature a high performance density and small dimensions – ideal for ship engines, in which only little installation space is available.

In case of providers who have to take misalignments and alternating torques into consideration when dimensioning, a larger coupling frequently has to be selected for the same nominal torque and also the same speed.

The ROBA®-DS disk pack couplings transmit torques up to the nominal torque absolutely backlash-free and with a consistently high torsional rigidity. The shaft misalignments stated can be utilised to 100% without influencing the transmitted torque. The disk pack couplings compensate radial, axial and angular misalignment of shafts, and as a result protect the bearings against undesired loads, and therefore against unnecessary downtimes and costs.

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

A

s the facility manager of an industrial company, you carry a large responsibility for a number of business’ critical processes. It is your job to guarantee the technical availability of the systems. If breakdowns of central functional units, such as the air conditioning system, for example, are identified too late, they can cause heat damage to products and machines, resulting in high follow-on costs for the company. For this reason, the monitoring of ambient parameters

such as temperature and humidity is an important indicator for threatening, and already occurring, malfunctions in technical systems.

With the automatic WiFi data logger system testo Saveris 2, Testo provides the possibility of measuring ambient data automatically, even at difficult-to access locations, and of centralizing them in one system.

The challenge Assemblies, air conditioning systems, heating systems, switching cabinets, system components and much more: In order for the overall technical process in an industrial company to function smoothly, you as the facility manager have to monitor ambient values at many different measurement locations.

Some of the measurement locations are difficult to access and are far apart.

In a daily business characterized by time-pressure and the processing of malfunctions, it is hardly possible to manage the continuous monitoring of all areas of responsibility which involve a level of risk. This often leads to malfunctions being identified too late.

CASE STUDY 135

A testo Saveris 2 WiFi probe measures temperature and humidity in a ventilation duct.

testo Saveris 2 monitors indoor climate parameters securely and reliably, also in production areas.

The solution The WiFi data logger system testo Saveris 2, on the other hand, saves the facility manager time, trips and nerves. It very simply assists you in keeping the many measurement locations under control. The alarm function allows round the- clock fast reactions to undesired changes in the ambient conditions. For example, temperature measurement on a motor can indicate that it is overheating before an expensive breakdown occurs.

How testo Saveris 2 supports A crucial advantage of testo Saveris 2 is its

Cloud-based function. The WiFi data loggers transmit the measurement data automatically by wireless LAN to the online data store (Testo Cloud). The values can be called up anywhere and at all times by PC, Smartphone or tablet.

This makes it possible to keep an eye on the temperature and humidity values at the various measurement sites, even in different buildings, without any effort.

The alarm function gives added security: If, for example, the temperature increases in one of the switching cabinets, the system automatically sends an alarm by e-mail or SMS. For the purposes of preventive maintenance, it is possible to react before expensive damage or delays in critical primary processes occur.

In addition to this, the continuous analysis of temperature developments provides valuable information on the causes of malfunctions.

Preventively, these can often be remedied at low cost. This allows the efficiency of the industrial system as a functional unit to be increased. Thanks to the Quick Start Guide, the WiFi data logger system is quick to install, flexible in use, and can be extended by further data loggers at any time.

ood has become an increasingly popular building material around the world in recent years. This means the need for reliable, clean adhesives to secure load-bearing timber has also grown.

Loctite Purbond launched the first adhesives dedicated to this application over 20 years ago: And these adhesives are now used in almost every country, with new innovations constantly being developed to meet changing requirements.

Adhesives for timber construction need to be consistent, reliable and sustainable – and have to be able to bond wood-basedmaterials in a broad range of challenging environments.

The innovative design of the wooden roof for the new elephant house at Zurich Zoo is just one recent example. The new buildings at Mayfield School in London are another: Almost 3,000 cubic meters of Cross Laminated Timber were bonded using solutions from Loctite Purbond.

Standing the test of time Buildings like this need to stand the test of time – and stand out. The latest Loctite HB S Purbond series opens up new possibilities for innovative design and supports the trend for increasing wood-based construction.

The latest innovation from Henkel was exactly what the geological research base in Norway needed. The center consists

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

of four wooden buildings connected by corridors aboveground, with only the foundations made using concrete. During the construction period, which started in December 2014, it was dark 24 hours a day.

Timber elements were prefabricated off-site and then transported to the base to meet the customer’s need to work as quickly and simply as possible.

Using the Loctite HB S Purbond product range, the construction team were able to put together the building quickly and safely.

The fiberless adhesive is clean and efficient, allowing quick application, bonding and curing. The speed of construction also meant that overall costs could be reduced.

The geological base was completed on time despite the challenging conditions, thanks to the innovative solution provided by Henkel Adhesive Technologies. The next project – an entire city quarter in Helsinki that will be constructed from wood – will leverage the same technologies.

Making the

ENTREPRENEURIAL DREAM possible How a Haas UMC-750 universal machining centre has helped in establishing OMC as a serious maker of cycling componentry

I

t’s rare to meet an Italian who isn’t passionate about some sort of wheeled transport – cars, motorcycles, scooters, etc. – and Ivan Cavallaro is no exception. Like so many of his compatriots, he’s a cycling nut – in particular, road cycling. His days as a “serious” racer may be behind him, but performance bicycles remain so much in his blood that he invested in a Haas UMC-750 universal machining centre to make some of the lightest, strongest high-performance components available.

The origin Around ten years ago, Ivan and his brother, Walter, also a cyclist and CNC machine operator, went into business “to work for us and do something mechanical,” as Ivan recalls.

They machined small parts for local businesses until around 2008/9, when they came up with an idea to design, make, and sell their own-design cycling componentry, under

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

the brand name OMC-Italia. It may not have wheels, but signore Cavallaro is as passionate about his Haas as he is about his bikes. In fact, one of OMC’s most successful products – the one that really established the company as a serious maker of cycling componentry – is named in homage to Haas.

The machine tool cognoscenti know very well that the nomenclature of the company’s vertical machining centres originated with the VF-1: the Very First One, back in the late 1980s.

The OMC single-piece combined, double chain ring and spider, with hollow pedal cranks, that Ivan machines on his UMC 750, is designated the V-Strong One. “In 2012, we upgraded our CAD/CAM to TopSolid, and redesigned the part to make it even lighter and stronger,” says Ivan. “Walter and I invested the last of our money to bring the product to market during a very difficult time for the Italian economy. We took a big risk,

CASE STUDY 139

but we knew we had a great component.”

Improved productivity Traditionally, the two front chain rings are machined separately, and then bolted together on a central spider, to which the pedal cranks are also attached. On the OMC unit, the spider and the chain rings are all one part, machined from a 2-kilogram solid billet, and ending up at just 160 gram. The two separate pedal cranks are hollow, which saves a lot of weight, and are also machined from solid.

“We start with over 7 kilograms of aluminium, and we end up with a complete unit – a very strong assembly of front rings and cranks – weighing around 540 grams,” says Ivan.

“Saving weight and building-in strength are our two most important goals. Professional cyclists put huge amounts of power through the front chain rings and pedal cranks, so we test our products on a rig to make sure we get the very maximum strength-to-weight ratio. From a productivity point-of-view, the Haas UMC-750 has allowed us to reduce machining of the front

• The Haas UMC-750 has helped in reducing machining of the front chain rings from 10 ops to just a single setup • Tolerances are around 4 microns which the machine handles easily

chain rings from 10 ops to just a single setup.

It’s proven to be a great investment. Tolerances are around 4 microns, which the Haas machine has no difficulty with, whatsoever.” Sadly, Ivan’s brother and business partner, Walter, lost his life in a tragic motorcycle accident in the summer of 2015. In the intervening year, Ivan has continued to build OMC’s name as an innovator for ultra-lightweight bicycle parts.

Walter would undoubtedly be proud. Like his brother, he was a cycling nut, and all cycling nuts are obsessed with the ride: going faster, traveling further, and having as much fun as possible.

easurement of energy flow is extremely important to monitor and protect the power system.

Current Transformer is widely used for this purpose. It becomes practically impossible for any measuring instrument to handle the high current values and hence Current Transformer comes as a handy solution.

Current transformer produces a reduced current accurately proportional to the current in the circuit, which can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments. A current transformer isolates the measuring instruments from very high voltage in the monitored circuit. Engineers often tend to think of a current transformer as an ideal device. Hence let’s have a look at ideal CT. Characteristics of ideal CT An ideal current transformer would

proportionally scale down the value of the power system current to a useable known value. Second, the scale-down output should faithfully reproduce the power system current waveform. An ideal current transformer should perform these two tasks over the range of a few amps up through ten thousands amps.

The ideal current transformer should be able to meet these requirements. In reality, a current transformer has limitations.

Today’s current transformer hasn’t changed since it was developed. A current transformer consists of the following components: a laminated steel core, a secondary winding around the core and insulating material When current travels through a current carrying device, such as a cable or bus duct it develops a magnetic field at right angles to the flow of current. The strength of the magnetic field varies as the current magnitude

changes during all operating conditions. When a magnetic field strikes a wire, it will cause a current to flow in the wire. By using the strength of the magnetic field and knowing the turns ratio, we can obtain a value of current that is useable for meters, relays and other current sensing devices.

In order to scale a value of high current flowing in a conductor, the engineer needs to introduce a specific number of uniformly distributed turns of wire around the core to scale down the system current. This will ensure that the output current is always proportional to the current flowing in the conductor. The current carrying conductor is referred to as a primary or P1 and the ends of the wire surrounding the core are referred to as a secondary or S1 and S2 for single winding current transformer.

In the past, there were two main values of secondary current typically used in measuring current. In India and most of Asian countries and also in the United States, engineers typically use a 5-amp output. Other countries have adopted a 1-amp output.

specified to ensure the possibility to install the transformer on the current circuit and that it can be accommodated in the planned locations.

5) Accuracy class to obtain satisfactory measurement accuracy :- In case of metering CTs with accuracy class 0.2, 0.5, 1 or 3, CT has to be accurate from 5% to 120% of the rated primary current and CTs with accuracy class 0.2S and 0.5S, it has to be accurate from 1% to 120% of the rated primary current at 25% and 100% of the rated burden at specified power factor.

while selection of the current transformer:

of electrical power devices with a maximum operating voltage of 0.72KV and frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz. Assembly Accuracy of CT depends on the magnetic performance of the steel core. Hence we can call it as a heart of CT. Torridly wound cores with high permeability and low loss are used to optimize performance and physical size of the transformers. High grade insulation is used to insulate between the windings and the core and between winding layers. Maximum mechanical and electrical performance is achieved by distributing all windings evenly around periphery of core. The casing of the CTs is made with UL 94 V-0 approved 10% glass filled Polycarbonate material having selfextinguishing & non-drip feature that provides an excellent mechanical / fire protective body & look and long term dielectric performance.

Factors to be considered for selection Reproduced below are factors to be considered

1) Primary Current :- The nominal value of the primary current (Ipn) should be selected from the offered series range of available types to provide the closest match with the expected primary current of the system. All low voltage transformers manufactured by Rishabh have an extended rating of 120% which makes conversion possible within a range 20% higher than the rated value.

2) Secondary Current :- Secondary current (Isn) is to adapt to the system found on the secondary side of the transformer. 5A and 1A are the standardized secondary current values.

Primary current/secondary current (Ipn/Isn) is the standard transformation ratio.

3) Power – the transformer load :- The total load (VA) that will be connected to the secondary side of the transformer should be considered, including the load from the connected device as well as losses on connection leads and terminals. According to standard IEC 60044-1 the current and phase errors of the transformer should not exceed values specified in below given table at any secondary load in the range from 25% to 100% of the rated load.

4) Dimensions:- Internal and external dimensions of the transformer should be

How pricing differs Selection CT VA burden and accuracy class should be according to the actual requirement of the application wherein the CT is going to be installed. Selecting higher VA or Class than necessary usually results in a higher cost. The cost generally increases as the CT internal diameter increases. 1A secondary CTs are usually more expensive than 5A CTs. Protection from high currents In order to protect the instruments and meters from being damaged by high currents during fault conditions, a metering core must be saturated typically between 5 and 20 times the rated currents. The rated instrument security factor (FS) indicates the over current as a multiple of the rated current at which the metering core will saturate. It is thus limiting the secondary current to FS times the rated current. ISF for Rishabh CTs are designed to 5 or less than 5. The safety of the metering equipment is greatest when Rishabh CTs are used.

Each and every CT is tested in accordance with IEC 60044-1 or IS-2705 for ratio errors and phase angle errors with microprocessor based automatic transformer test set (Omicron make CT Analyzer) with facilities for automatic printout of test results.

Conclusion As Rishabh is having the complete basket of low tension current transformers manufactured in a world class CT manufacturing setup consisting of an automatic testing facility for all CTs with a printed Test Certificates, we have a real technological excellence in current transformers.

How NEWTON TESLA drives commissioning from anywhere When Newton Tesla sets up new variable speed drives for their customers, they can do configuration, re-programming and monitoring from any location. By connecting a Netbiter gateway to their drives systems, they can offer their customers immediate assistance and do remote commissioning during the critical start-up period

N George Newton commissioning drives at a customer site

• Newton Tesla can remotely monitor data such as operating frequency, running hours and energy consumption • Ability to use the gateway to establish a secure data tunnel to the PLC • Ability to debug, program and commission the drives system • Faster support and commissioning

JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

ewton Tesla is one of Britain’s leading experts in variable speed drives and a supplier of advanced automation systems to factories and plants across the world. Specializing in Mitsubishi products, they have been working with drives and inverters since 1987.

When commissioning an automation system, it is often hard to solve everything in one go. Usually, there are certain processes you have to wait for or other systems that need to be installed before everything is 100% finished. That means that you often have to go back to the site several times resulting in expensive and time-consuming service trips.

engineer could not take any tools, mobile phone or even his laptop into the area. This makes on-site commissioning a challenge.” To get access to their drives systems remotely, Newton Tesla had been looking for a remote management system for some time, but no system had quite lived up to their demands.

George Newton continues: “I always had the fear that a remote management system would be complex — that it would be hard to establish a connection and, above all, that the connection would be unstable which could really be a problem if you are programming a PLC. But when we found Netbiter, it was surprisingly easy.”

Problem of physical access

How it works

Another issue is physical access. George Newton, Managing Director at Newton Tesla and drive system expert explains: “At some sites, we need special permits or have limited access to our drives. For example, we recently built a system for a silver and platinum processing plant in America. Security was so tight that our mechanical commissioning

When Newton Tesla delivers a new drives system, they connect a Netbiter EC350 gateway to their Mitsubishi PLC which controls the drives. The Netbiter communicates via the cellular network and sends data from the PLC to the cloud-based Netbiter Argos service. By logging into www. netbiter.net, Newton Tesla can see data such

as operating frequency, running hours, energy consumption and much more.

By using the function called “Remote Access” they can also use the gateway to establish a secure data tunnel to the PLC, through which they can debug, program and commission the drives system. They simply open the tunnel, and can then access their Mitsubishi PLC, just as if they were connected on site.

Connection stability important When programming a PLC, you do not want the connection to go down as it can corrupt your programming and cause the system to malfunction. So naturally, connection stability was a main concern for Newton Tesla. “The Netbiter connection is really robust which is very important for us,” says George Newton. “In fact, I have so much confidence in the connection that I even operate our drives remotely. On a recent project, I moved a crane to a specific position from the office, being confident that the connection wouldn’t be interrupted.”

but the return-on-investment is quick even if the customer only is a few kilometers away,” says George Newton. “If you calculate the costs for a service engineer to get all the gear ready, take the car to a customer and connect everything on site, you quickly realize that even a short service trip is costly.” Nowadays, Newton Tesla always equip their systems with a Netbiter EC350 gateway. Since the Netbiter itself is quite easy to connect, this process can be done by someone who isn’t a PLC programmer, giving the PLC programmer more time to focus on the system itself. “Netbiter has given us the convenience of not having to travel to the site every time we need to adjust a system. It has given our offering an edge since we can spare our customers expensive service trips and offer faster support and commissioning,” finishes George Newton.

Quick return-on-investment The first time Newton Tesla used Netbiter in a customer project, was when they shipped a system to a customer in Phoenix, Arizona. After the initial set-up on site, they could handle the rest of the commissioning remotely from the office in Warrington, UK. “Naturally, the Netbiter quickly paid for itself on the Arizona project,

ollowing successful trials, the machine has started production. Mezit Technology officials state that the machine is 20% faster than its counterparts.

The machine was manufactured as a result of R&D efforts that lasted around 6 months, and has been intensely sought-after by textile manufacturers from Turkey and from several other countries.

As owner of Mezit Technology, with substantial industry-specific experience in digital printing, Ibrahim tells their startup

story, “I have significant experience in the digital printing industry, and many years of expertise. During this time, I worked with several companies and learnt almost all the intricacies of this field. As a result of our evaluations, we decided that digital printing technology must be used more intensively in an important textile production centre like Turkey and even these machines must be manufactured in Turkey. We have diligently selected and gathered a technical team who will design and manufacture this machine,

thus forming a highly experienced team.”

Agreement with Kollmorgen for motion control systems. “We turned to TUBITAK to develop this project, and after establishing collaboration within our team, we met with various companies to assess the market and to source materials and services. We came to an agreement with Kollmorgen for the motion control systems, and they delivered 1 linear direct drive motor, 5 servo motors, drives, boards and other control systems. We worked with 2 international companies for the software. We wanted to produce a technology meeting or exceeding the European standards, bringing together the best in the world, and we succeeded in manufacturing an industrial digital printing machine for the first time in Turkey. Our machine started production following the test phases, and one of the first client has expressed how pleased they are with the machine so far”.

Kollmorgen project manager Seref Karaoglan summarises the motive behind their preferences in the project, and says, “It wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that Kollmorgen is cut out for this project. We are one of the few companies that could possibly manufacture all of the products used in the machine. Furthermore, I can easily say that we are the only company that is capable of providing a linear motor, and all of these products, while optimally utilising its engineering in such an important R&D project”.

Synchronisation with a Single Controller Kollmorgen project manager Seref Karaoglan shares their success story in synchronisation, and says, “Another important element that

• Approximately 20% faster than its counterparts • Able to produce 400 square metres per hour with 600x600 dpi quality • Capable of gaining very high momentum we provided in the machine’s success is our PDMM controller with outstanding features.

Our controller is embedded in the drives; it simultaneously controls 6 axes that are comprised of pulling, bonding, band, head Y axes (linear motor), head Z axes and wiping (cleaning). This way, we were able to successfully ensure synchronisation between axes”.

Ibrahim from the Mezit Technology company points out that the machine has the production capacity of 220-230 linear metres per hour, meaning that it is 20% faster than its counterparts across the world, and says, “So we can produce 400 square metres with 600x600 dpi quality. The total cost of R&D has reached approximately £360,000 (TRY 1.5 million). For now, we have production plans for just 2 machines, but we aim to manufacture 20 machines in 2016. We will establish dealerships in Brazil and China, and we are looking to develop opportunities farther afield, in other countries where the industry is dense”.

A machine of high speed An Enviable Linear Motor Technology Seref Karaoglan remarks that the most striking feature of the machine is its high speed, and that, “it is very important that it is able to reach desired speeds, while being able to stop in a very short time for pulling, bonding, band, head Y axes (linear motor), head Z axes and

It wouldn’t be wrong to call Kollmorgen’s enviable linear motor technology the heart of the machine. This system allows the machine to reach very high speeds, such as 1.8 m/s with high momentums.

wiping (cleaning). I would like to highlight the quality of Kollmorgen at this point. It is capable of gaining very high momentum, as in order for the machine to carry out a successful process, it needs to reach 1.8 m/s in 150 milliseconds. Our high performance linear motor and servo drive and motion control solutions are able to address these needs”.

Emphasising that one of the most critical aspects of such machines is ‘the motion control’, the owner of the Mezit Technology company, Ibrahim, indicates his reliance on Kollmorgen controllers and says, “Because there are so many synchronised motions, such as the simultaneous movement of units, the bonding of fabric to blanket, as well as drying-swinging in high speeds, this is a very complicated piece of technology. In this regard, Kollmorgen has met all of our expectations. We used symmetric printing technology in this machine and this was another important factor that increased our speed”.

Kennametal helps

AEROSPACE JOBSHOP meet critical delivery date

By opting for Kennametal’s series of 4 and 6-flute high performance full ceramic end mills, Stellar Precision Components could meet an extremely tough deadline at a fraction of the price

M This solid ceramic endmill might feel like plastic in your hand, but its cutting performance in nickel-based alloys is often twenty times that of carbide tools.

ost shops evaluate new cutting tools in an effort to reduce machining time, increase tool life, or improve part quality, and sometimes all three. Stellar Precision Components Ltd., a Tier II aerospace supplier in Jeanette, Pennsylvania, did it for an entirely different reason. “We’d just taken an order for some Inconel parts,” says production manager Edward Frieze. “None of us were really worried at that point about tool life or making a profit on the job—our only concern then was how the heck could we get them shipped in eight weeks.”

Stellar prides itself on continual updates to its equipment list, and has an eclectic mix of CNC machine tools from Haas Automation and Okuma, although that balance is steadily tipping in Haas’ favor as the shop’s older machines go into retirement.

Not Too Tough

It was something we’d never seen before. But within the first hour, we knew it was going to work - Edward Frieze, Production Manager, Stellar Precision Components JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

Stellar is used to meeting demanding requirements. Frieze explains that Stellar had just received a purchase order for a handful of Inconel 625 prototypes. The raw material blanks for the job measured 18 in. square x 3 in. thick (457 x 457 x 76 mm), and weighed nearly 300 lb. each (134 kg). The project team suffered little indigestion over the tough material’s poor machinability; Stellar routinely cuts Inconel and other nickel-based superalloys, as well as tungsten, maraging steels, 60 Rc 4340 (300M), and tool steel. Nor was tolerance an issue. Frieze points to one recent titanium part that called out a 0.005 in. (0.127 mm) profile tolerance over its 12 in. length (304 mm), the equivalent of holding “a couple tenths” in parts that cost over $5000

apiece before machining. Meeting the relatively wide open tolerances on the Inconel part was not a concern.

The problem was one of raw material removal: when finished, the Inconel plates weighed in at a svelte 30 lb. (13.6 kg), 90-percent lighter than their starting weight. Frieze knew there weren’t enough hours in the day to remove that much material using conventional carbide tooling, not if he were to meet the deadline. He needed a better solution.

Seminar Payoff Earlier that year, Frieze and several of his coworkers had attended a learning event sponsored by a local chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA), and hosted at the Kennametal technical center in the nearby town of Latrobe. There he met product manager Matthieu Guillon, who introduced him to a cutting tool that Frieze was initially skeptical of.

That tool was Kennametal’s series of 4 and 6-flute high performance full ceramic end mills.

Constructed of SiAlON KYS40 grade ceramic and designed specifically for roughing in nickel-based high-temperature alloys, these end mills often out-produce carbide by up to 20 times. Says Guillon, “We recommend a starting speed of 825 SFM up to 3300 SFM (250 to 1000 m/min) and feedrates starting at around 0.001 IPT (0.03 mm) depending on the tool diameter and other conditions. Despite the far higher cutting speeds, we have some customers who have reported 2 to 3 times greater tool life than carbide.”

Stellar didn’t have any immediate use for the ceramic tools, but after making some quick

Benefits • Kennametal’s full ceramic end mills operate at spindle speeds up to 10 times faster • Far greater tool life • Three to four times more cost-effective • Stellar delivered the parts on time with zero scrap

Young people and fresh ideas are two of Stellar’s biggest assets, says owner Lori Albright

feed and speed calculations, Frieze knew they would be an effective solution given the right application. Several months later, that application arrived with the Inconel plates. He called Guillon to say he might have a good use for those ceramic cutters they were talking about, and wondered how soon he could get some.

Skeptic to the Last Frieze remained skeptical. He’d tried indexable ceramic cutting tools on both milling and turning jobs in the past and had mediocre results. In this case, however, he was willing to try anything if it meant meeting the customer’s deadline. “We weren’t certain what would happen so started out with a block of test material.

It was something we’d never seen before. But within the first hour, we knew it was going to work.” “The tools aren’t inexpensive,” he says.

“At one point, Lori had around $20,000 worth of end mills sitting in her office and we were starting to question the investment. But once you calculated in the machine costs and reduced cycle time, we figured it was three to four times more cost-effective to go this route. Each end

mill gave us one half hour of cut time, at which time we replaced it whether it was worn or not.

The process was so predictable we were able to run lights out. It led to drastic savings.”

Enjoying the Heat Best of all, Stellar delivered the parts on time with zero scrap, and is now quoting a second, even larger order. Owner Lori Albright was quite pleased with the outcome. “This type of situation is the nature of our business. We have to react to our customers’ needs and employ the best technology available to do so.

That’s one of the reasons why Kennametal is so welcome here. We work together as a team to solve challenges.”

Looking forward, Albright anticipates continued growth. Having expanded Stellar’s existing facility six times, she figures it might be time to put up an entirely new building on nearby property. She also looks forward to bringing additional young people to the machining trade.

“I find that it’s often our younger people that drive our innovation. It’s too easy to keep doing things the old way and not invest in tooling and equipment, or pursue new technology. The days of high volume, round-the-clock fender clip manufacturing are gone, and it’s only by continually improving their manufacturing processes that companies can succeed and grow. For us, Kennametal is part of that success.”

SCRIBING TECHNOLOGY Scribing technology is an ideal choice for applications where noise level limitations are imposed

S

cribing is a marking process whereby the mark (text or logo) is produced by a carbide or diamond tip that penetrates and indents the surface. This produces a deep groove that forms continuous lines across round, concave, flat, or arched surfaces, and on almost any material. Also called “drop and drag” or “scratch marking,” scribing technology is an ideal choice for applications where noise level limitations are imposed. If dot peen markers are considered too noisy when used on steel pipe, for example, a pneumatic scribing machine might be preferred. SIC Marking’s scribing technology guarantees a high quality mark and is ideal for requirements that include Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or aesthetics concerns (logos, symbols…).

SIC Marking’s scribing technology guarantees a high quality mark and is ideal for requirements that include OCR or aesthetics concerns JULY 2016 | www.engrreview.com

Product range SIC Marking’s product range runs from standard machines to custom engineered solutions.

All systems are created with careful attention to bring functional design, quality, innovation, and performance to manufacturing lines. Every site, every job, and every customer is unique.

As an example, one of our customers in the automotive industry has asked our engineers to set up a system adapted for eight of his exhaust pipe’s production lines. The traceability and identification of exhaust pipes can be a complicated task since the parts are hollow.

Our customer’s main issue was compliance with the noise limits which is the reason why scribing marking systems were chosen. Our i113s marking systems have been easily inte-

grated and implemented on each work station.

Thanks to the reliability and flexibility of SIC Marking’s scribing systems, our customer was able to adapt the marking head’s position to fit each of his production lines.

New scribing marking machine To complete its scribing range SIC Marking launches a new i63s marking machine. This new scribing marking head complements the i113s machine dedicated to deep marking on steel and other hard materials. The i63s marking system has a compact yet robust design engineered for integration on production lines of all types of industrial environments.

The marking quality is excellent with perfect continuous lines and very fast for materials of all kind, from plastic to hardened steel (up to 62 HRC). The mechanical system is much simpler which has for consequence reduced maintenance. Already equipped with full connectivity (digital I/O, Ethernet TCP/IP, RS232...). Our i63s scribing systems also offer many features to interact with all the elements that set up their environment. Our machines can be easily integrated on all production lines using Profinet, Profibus and Ethernet/IP.

PRODUCT SHOWCASE 199

Hangsterfer’s Cutting Oils for Sliding Head Machines Hangsterfer’s Cutting Oils are recognized by Swiss Style Screw machine manufacturers around the world. Hangsterfer’s Hard Cut oils have improved tool life and surface qualities by as much as 300%!

They are the first choice of leading Aerospace, Electronic and Medical component manufacturers. Aluminium, nickel, stainless steel and titanium alloys are machined with much greater ease. All of our oils are engineered to withstand the extreme condition at the tool work-piece interface.

In addition to the lubricity provided at the cutting zone, our cutting oils provide excellent lubrication for the machine’s slides, guide bushings, bearings and spindles. Some can even be used in bar feeders.

These products are available in a wide range of viscosities and chemical compositions. We have

an oil for every application, from tapping and threading of small, pin-like components, to broaching and fine blanking of large gears.

Hangsterfer’s Hard Cut Series is formulated with the industry’s safest chlorinated extreme pressure additives. The CC Series has all the quality of the Hard Cuts but are Chlorine Free.

Our Missile Lube Series is both Chlorine and Sulphur free. It was developed in the early 1960’s for the aerospace industry. Dr. Hangsterfer created a synthetic fat that met the performance and chemical standards needed for aluminium, magnesium, nickel and titanium alloys.

Smalley is pleased to announce the expansion of our Bearing Preload Series. Smalley continues to push the limits in coiling innovation. The expansion of our popular bearing preload (SSB) series adds diameters ranging from 9 mm to 13 mm. Now over 300 SSB springs are stocked in carbon and stainless steel with free samples available to test in your application.

The SSB series is a popular choice among engineers, the single turn wave spring helps eliminate bearing play and minimize noise. The constant light/medium pressure they apply removes play between the ball bearings and the bearings’ inner and outer races. Preloading can reduce the possibility of bearing damage due to vibration (vibratory loading) and

wear due to repetitive and non-repetitive runout.

Newly expanded manufacturing capabilities allow Smalley to design and manufacture traditional Smalley Wave Spring and Spirolox® Retaining Rings down to .165”, or 4 mm diameters. Challenge us to see if we can design a ring or spring for your compact application. Ask Smalley™ Smalley Steel Ring Company meets international standards of excellence, including ISO 9001, ISO/TS16949, AS9100, and ISO 14001.
