Peikko to introduce Kemppi’s welding quality management system for three countries

P

eikko Group and Kemppi have agreed on deploying the Kemppi ARC System 3 quality management system for welding at Peikko production units in Finland, Lithuania, and Slovakia. This is the first multi-site commissioning of the Kemppi system.

Kemppi ARC System is a comprehensive welding system for project planning, management, and monitoring. It enables fully automated welding control and collection of documentation. Also, the welders’ qualifications, welding instructions, and information on NDT inspections are all readily available via a single service with reliable off-site storage.

The Kemppi ARC System 3 implementation at Peikko is being carried out this spring. In the first stage, all main users of the system will be trained at the Kemppi factory in Lahti. System installations will then be carried out at the Peikko production units that manufacture composite structures in Lahti; in Kaunas, Lithuania; and in Kráľová nad Váhom, Slovakia. Peikko’s products are used in the building frames that are subjected to heavy loads. This means that the products’ capacity and resistance properties are highly important. Welding is a critical phase in the manufacturing process of a structural product. “As product requirements and the various markets’ quality demands grow stricter, we at Peikko want to ensure that we can meet these challenges and also predict future developments in the business. The introduction of Kemppi ARC System 3 guarantees our competitiveness in quality in this constantly changing and challenging business environment,” explains Peikko Group’s CEO, Topi Paananen.

Production Director Tuomas Mantere, also from Peikko, continues, “The real-time monitoring of the welding process enables us to detect faults and quality deviations in our production. Correct and timely measures ensure consistent quality of welding output, improve our productivity, and enable us to assess the effects of the changes implemented.

At the same time, we facilitate the work of welding coordinators by using system management tools in, for example, the maintenance of welding qualifications. Kemppi’s slogan ‘Stop Guessing – Start Knowing’ matches our way of thinking very well.”

Kemppi’s Sales Director, Nordic countries, Mikko Väisänen, made the following comment: “Our long-term partner and client Peikko Group is a pioneering operator whose products are among the best in the world. We are pleased to be part of the development of Peikko Group’s production processes with new technology.”

Kari Kemppi, Director, Welding Management Solutions at Kemppi, describes the solution’s impact as follows: “Thanks to Kemppi ARC System, Kemppi has brought to welding something that has long been in use in industrial cutting.” The precise information that good software can provide has a positive effect on the efficiency of production, the profitability of the business, and cost-efficiency. Kemppi describes the new solutions as allowing company to be more than an equipment manufacturer – through integration of software developments, it has become a genuine solution supplier.

Kemppi ARC System Kemppi ARC System 3 is a modular

and scaleable system suitable for businesses of many types and sizes.

Also suitable for subcontracting, the software can be introduced in stages.

Kemppi is a pioneer in system development, with the first platform version of Kemppi ARC System 1 having been launched in 2008. This builds on earlier work: Kemppi began to collect digital information from welding equipment back in 1995.

Fluke connect wins AHR Expo innovation award Wireless test and measurement system helps save time and increase the productivity of HVAC/R technicians

F

luke Connect™ will be presented with the top honor in the Innovation Awards software category at AHR Expo held at McCormick Place in Chicago. The full Fluke Connect system will be on display in the Fluke booth, demonstrating how it speeds the inspection of HVAC/R and electrical systems to keep them operating at peak efficiency.

This is the fifth honor for Fluke Connect since its launch in May 2014. HVAC/R technicians make better, faster decisions when they have access to maintenance records at the inspection site and can review measurements in real time with team members and supervisors. Yet records are usually kept in the office and team members are rarely in the same place at the same time.

The Fluke Connect system solves these problems by enabling technicians to wirelessly transmit measurement data from their test tools to their smart phones for secure storage on the cloud and universal team access from the field.

More than 20 Fluke tools connect wirelessly with the app; tools can be purchase separately or in application bundles, like the Fluke® 3000 FC HVAC System.

Productivity features of Fluke Connect include: ● EquipmentLog™ — enables technicians and managers to get all of their measurement data in one place to get the complete asset story. EquipmentLog history allows technicians to assign measurements to specific equipment, creating a cloud-based history of

8

| ENGINEERING REVIEW

all test measurement data (e.g. electrical, temperature, infrared images) for easy access during both troubleshooting and reliability maintenance. ● AutoRecord™ automatically records measurements and infrared images to secure Fluke Cloud™ storage from wherever they’re working, without writing anything down. All authorized members on the team with a smart phone and the app can see the data. ● ShareLive™ video calls enables technicians to share measurements and infrared images to collaborate with other team members in real time, get approvals for repairs, or get questions answered without leaving the field.

The Fluke Connect app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

For information on Fluke tools and applications, or to find the location of a distributor, contact us at www.fluke.com/india

About Fluke Founded in 1948, Fluke Corporation is the world leader in compact, professional electronic test tools. Fluke customers are technicians, engineers, electricians, and metrologists who install, troubleshoot and manage industrial, electrical and electronic equipment and calibration processes.

Energy-saving lights for hazardous areas: Compact, innovative LED design

R

. STAHL now offers compact LED-based tubular light fittings for use in Ex zones 1/21 and 2/22 that provide users with an alternative to typical linear luminaires.

With a diameter of merely 55 mm, the new lights take up less than half the space required by conventional linear luminaires, and reach less than half their weight.

What is most striking, however, is the design that makes the new 6036 series extraordinarily light-efficient: 30 four-foot long LED-based tubular light fittings, for instance, ensure an illuminance of approximately 500 lx, which would usually require 35 linear luminaires with two 36 W fluorescent tubes each – or alternatively 48 conventional box-type units retrofitted with LEDs. However, R. STAHL’s new lights consume only about half as much power and the specific power consumption per 100 lx is merely 1.5 W/m². This ensures enormous savings regarding operating costs – depending on the comparative solution and the time frame, just under 20% to more than 50% savings are realistic in practice.

The tubular light fittings can be operated in a very wide temperature range from -40 to +60 °C. The maintenance-free units are suitable

| ENGINEERING REVIEW

for general lighting purposes or for use as machine lamps. Due to their slim design, they can be installed in hard-to-access locations. Even at an ambient temperature of +60 °C, they reach a lifetime of 80,000 hours.

The vibration-proof units are IP66/ IP67-protected by default, resulting in excellent suitability for maritime applications. In addition to ATEX and IECEx certificates, they also feature certificates for many major markets (GOST, Gazpromnadzor, UL do Brasil, GL).

Company Background For more than 80 years, R. STAHL has been a trendsetting manufacturer of safety technology for hazardous areas. Based in Waldenburg, Germany, the company is one of the world’s leading suppliers of explosion-protected automation, control and distribution, installation, operating and monitoring, lighting, signaling and alarm components and systems. Key products include customer-specific systems solutions for hazardous areas.

R. STAHL’s individual packages containing tailored product combinations and a wide range of services such as consulting, project planning, engineering and training courses for customers are designed to fully meet application requirements and customer needs. International certifications, approvals and patents demonstrate the company’s expertise and allow for R. STAHL’s products to be used throughout the world.

ABB & Solar Impulse get ready for Historic Round-The-World Flight ABB and Solar Impulse have formed an alliance ahead of the plane’s historic round-the-world journey championing the role of innovation and technology in reducing resource consumption

A

BB, the leading power and automation technology company, is proud to accompany with company Solar Impulse and its crew on the plane’s flight around the world powered only by energy from the sun.

Impulse, based in Switzerland, announced that it will begin its historic flight between late February and early March in Abu Dhabi. In 2014, ABB and Solar Impulse formed an innovation and technology alliance to advance a shared vision of reducing resource consumption and increasing the use of renewable energy.

“Solar Impulse will inspire a new generation to embrace innovation and technology to solve the planet’s biggest challenges,” said ABB Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Spiesshofer. “ABB will be with the Solar Impulse team every mile of its journey.”

Three ABB engineers have joined the Solar Impulse team where they are contributing expertise and passion. Their work includes improving control systems for ground operations, enhancing the charging electronics for the plane’s battery systems and resolving obstacles that emerge along the route.

On the plane’s 40,000-kilometer route, pilots Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg will share duties as the aircraft stops in cities including Muscat, Oman; Varanasi and Ahmedabad in India; Chongqing and Nanjing in China; and Phoenix, Arizona in the U.S. It will also stop in

Europe or North Africa.

Among challenges before the mission concludes in Abu Dhabi in mid-2015 will be a non-stop flight of five days and nights from China to Hawaii. The plane, powered by 17,248 solar cells, will soar higher than Mount Everest each day while fully charging its batteries to stay aloft during the night.

“We are happy that India will have two stops of this historic flight.

As India plans to add 100 GW of solar energy by 2020, we do see a significant role for ABB in India,” said ABB India Managing Director Bazmi Husain. “ We are aligned to the vision of the Solar Impulse team.”

ABB’s enthusiasm for Solar Impulse stems not merely from shared faith in innovation and technology but also from the company’s credo: “Power and productivity for a better world.”

Solar Impulse’s ethos mirrors ABB’s aspirations of helping boost operational efficiency, reduce resource use, enable sustainable transportation and increase penetration of clean, renewable energy.

As the world’s second-largest supplier of solar inverters and one of the largest suppliers to the windpower industry, ABB is a leader in

integrating renewables efficiently and reliably into power grids. ABB is helping build the most-comprehensive electric vehicle fast-charging network in Europe and is supplying key equipment for the world’s largest network of fast chargers for electric cars in China.

Piccard said the addition of ABB, with its leading technologies that enable energy generation from renewable projects as well as boost efficiency, to Solar Impulse’s team have reinforced the endeavor’s ability to demonstrate the power of innovation and clean technology.

“This is what the world needs,” said Piccard, the Swiss aviation pioneer who was part of the first team to circle the earth in a balloon in 1999. “Otherwise, we’re going to waste all our natural resources.”

Since 2010, Piccard, the project’s chairman, and Borschberg, its chief executive officer, have combined to set eight international aviation records including for duration, altitude and distance flown as they crossed Europe, North Africa and the United States in a prototype plane powered only by the sun.

ABB salutes and shares this vision as the journey’s next step kindles new interest in aeronautics, clean technology and renewable energy. “Together, we need to run the world without consuming the earth,” ABB’s Spiesshofer said. “In very simple terms, that’s what we stand for.”

For instance, igus has recently released the low-priced solid plastic bearing drylin RJ4MP. The bearing made of wearresistant igus plastic, iglidur J4, has the dimensions of the so-called compact “Japanese standard”, which has in the meantime established itself as a popular size for linear guides in 3D printers. Like all products of the drylin linear and drive systems, the new solid plastic bearing operates completely dry and without external lubrication and maintenance.

…If Indian Manufacturing can deliver?

W

e are living in the golden age of ‘globalized economy, resource accessibility & performance capabilities’, which empowers organizations to drive towards “emerging excellence for a sustainable & profitable tomorrow”.

The World today is dependent on the measures of economy and trade driven cultures. In order to overcome the barriers of “Globalized Economy-with-Variable Inflation”, the Governments, Public Corporations & Private Organizations, are constantly required to stay aligned to redefine the trends and needs. A Nation’s “economic growth, social cultures & most importantly, workforce employment” is as subject to the growth of private organizations and their global competitiveness.

Amongst them has been a primary sector manufacturing. It has been a predominant contributor and a cornerstone for many nations’ sustainable growth i.e. in terms of Workforce Employment, as well as Economic Stability!

Our progressive volumes of rapidly increasing global population, demands newer dimensions of consumer needs and robust supply chain methods.

The outcome of such inflation and market demands is what forces for manufacturers to focus on rapid

growth, lower costs and higher returns. The following is a theoretical narration to foresee a hypothetical understanding of globally scalable opportunity and scope for new methods of outlook.

Hypothetically, if a Google GLASS were to be Made in India around the costs of less than $400 and globally supplied for an additional shipping cost of no more than $95, by adapting to “advanced manufacturing and globally scaled supply chain measures”. Along with a possible solution for ‘freight-todelivery’ supply chain features, will not only give rise to a new economic driver, but enables at least a few million customers to consistently buy across the globe. In return allowing it’s “Makers & Partners” to capture a consistently performing & multiplier profitable growth.

Perhaps such an exponential performance growth can only be achieved to predictable reality, by working beyond the “knowing of things-to-making of things”.

In order to evaluate the potential scope of global market for the Fast Moving Smart Devices, and for the ease of understanding; you may review the below potential market capture metric which is determined based on the combinations of hypothesis & fact approximation. The overall objective of publishing this

hypothesis is to understand the significance of Manufacturing as an Industry and its impact on contributing to the nation’s economy. Basically, it is to indicate the market potential for just Smart Devices, if these fast moving products are Made & Sold in India at affordable costs. Although such possibilities can be achieved with extended vision; it’s easier said than done. India is a rapidly emerging market with vast potentials to accept new product innovations, provided farther breakthroughs are accomplished in futuristic products.

It is with that Vision of Execution, Quantum Factual supported by Ducker Worldwide & ERP India, have taken this stepping stone of initiative to launch “Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Automation (AMIA)” on Friday May 29th, 2015 in Mumbai towards “Make in India”.

AMIA 2015 is a unique concept of business conference, focused on the adaptive trends to achieve process excellence applicable to various sectors of manufacturing!

Renishaw’s Primo™ system created opportunities for customers new to probing

A

t IMTEX which took place in Bangalore, India, from January 22nd- 28th 2015, global engineering technologies company Renishaw launched two new products for machine tool users - the Primo™ system and GoProbe software.

The Primo system is the first all-in-one package for part setting and tool setting specifically aimed at machine tool users who are new to probing. It offers a simple path to the many benefits of using probes in machining processes.

Easy to install and use, the new system represents a low initial outlay, yet retains Renishaw’s proven quality. Primo hardware has been designed and manufactured to the same market-leading standards as all Renishaw products; achieving a repeatability of 1µm 2σ to deliver consistent and accurate performance.

The innovative Primo credit token system offers users the flexibility

| ENGINEERING REVIEW

to ‘pay-as-you-probe’. Its 6-month renewable tokens allow unlimited use of the Primo Radio Part Setter and the Primo Radio 3D Tool Setter within this period of time. The credit tokens are also available as an upgrade to enable unrestricted continuous use.

The Primo hardware, which uses radio transmission, is a twin probe system comprising the Primo Radio Part Setter, Primo Radio 3D Tool Setter and Primo Interface. ● The Primo Radio Part Setter accurately locates a workpiece before machining and automatically updates the machine tool’s work co-ordinate system. It eliminates manual setting errors, saves time and reduces scrap caused by alignment errors. It can also be used to measure and verify conformance prior to the removal of parts from a machine. ● The Primo Radio 3D Tool Setter enables on-machine automated tool setting, further eliminating manual setting and input errors. This method is typically up to ten times faster than manual or offline tool setting. ● The Primo Interface enables communication between the system’s probes and the machine’s controller. The radio transmission makes longer communication distances possible, so the Primo system is suitable for most machine sizes. The interface also displays the user’s remaining credit allowance. ● The Primo system offers the same part setting and tool setting ben-

efits as other probing systems, but with greatly simplified operation.

Non-productive time, costs and scrap are reduced, whilst productivity and profits are increased.

The system is supplied with GoProbe, an innovative ‘all-in-one’ software package that simplifies part setting, tool setting and calibration. Supported by a training kit (comprising an e-learning course, a training part and a quick-reference tool) the software requires only single-line commands, which makes each cycle easy to learn and use. For more information on GoProbe and the GoProbe training kit visit www. renishaw.com/goprobe.

Also included with the Primo system is Primo Premium Support Cover (PSC)*, an enhanced warranty that protects Primo hardware against accidental damage during use. Primo PSC offers peace of mind, enabling users to concentrate on controlling processes, reducing costs and increasing profits. (*) Terms and conditions apply.

Mastercam X8 Mill

Brings Speed, Efficiency, & Automation

M

astercam X8 Mill offers expanded machining flexibility and an increased emphasis on speed and automation.

Dynamic Motion technology, 2D Machining, and Multiaxis features combine with dozens of additional new enhancements in a package intended to improve shop floor productivity.

Here are some of the most significant highlights and new functionality in Mastercam X8 Mill: Dynamic Motion Technology Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion technology is a new and exciting approach to creating toolpaths. In order to create the smoothest, most efficient cutting motion possible, Dynamic toolpaths calculate more than just the simple motion of the tool. They also use a proprietary set of rules to analyze tool engagement and the material removal, constantly changing the cut motion based on what the tool will encounter at the machine, optimizing the motion before the first chip is cut. The results

| ENGINEERING REVIEW

include radically shorter cycle times, less wear and breakage of tools, and less wear on machines. Mastercam X8 further hones and expands our Dynamic Motion engine by adding new options for even more control over the final cuts and better wear on your tools.

Multiaxis Improvements Multiaxis Roughing is a new strategy added for X8. It allows the easy creation of pocketing toolpaths to rough out pockets that have a curved floor surface. It supports offset or Dynamic style strategies, and multiple depth floors. Safety Zone improvements make defining and editing the safety zone much easier.

Tool inspection was added to many multiaxis toolpaths, including Blade Expert and Port Expert. After you enter an inspection parameter, the tool will retract and trigger an inspection code at the next linking move.

2D Features Mastercam’s 2D high speed toolpaths (HST) now support multi-core processing on toolpaths with multiple machining regions. 2D HST Dynamic Mill has added first pass feed reduction and first pass offset to the Cut Parameters page, allowing for safer motion when the tool is entering material from the outside. It also expands the machining region to ensure the tool does not engage a lot of material on the very first pass due to an unknown exact block size. Region Chaining has been simplified to machining region selection, allowing for single or multiple regions.

Additional powerful tools in Mastercam X8 Mill include: ● New Air Region chains define safe air the tool can move within via closed chains. ● You can now adjust feeds and speeds on the Multi Passes page, making it easier to control your tool motion. In addition, corner rounding support is added in Ramp and Oscillate modes. ● 3D high speed toolpaths based on Z-level cuts now process Z stepdowns across multiple cuts. ● Tilt Away to Avoid Collision options are added in 3D HST finishing toolpaths and provide an easy-to-use introduction to 5-axis technology. ● Productivity+ enhancements such as support for extended character languages and added graphic selection for Calibration Point position.

HANNOVER MESSE 2015 -13–17 April, 2015 The Revolution starts in Hannover

H

The key challenges of the fourth industrial revolution – such as achieving universal standards for machine-tomachine communication, maintaining data security and finding new business models – can be mastered only through collective endeavor in networks. This requires effective dialogue and cooperation between the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and IT sectors. The enormous potential that all sectors of industry can unleash through this sort of integration will be on show at HANNOVER MESSE 2015.

annover. “Is my organization ready for the fourth industrial revolution? That’s the big question that CEOs and plant managers are currently asking themselves,” remarked Dr. Jochen Köckler, Member of the Managing Board at Deutsche Messe. The fourth industrial revolution – aka Industie 4.0 – will bring major change to energy systems and industrial production models. In factories, there will be a shift away from mass production as customers increasingly demand customized products – albeit at the same low prices they currently enjoy for mass-produced goods. And energy grids will need to become smarter so that they can optimally balance and deploy available power, gas and heat capacity from a wide range of sources. The answer to these challenges is Integrated Industry – the intelligent digital networking and integration of industrial systems and processes.

Integrated Industry is about enabling machines and workpieces to communicate with one another.

This, in turn, will allow entire production lines to autonomously and dynamically re-configure themselves, thereby rendering smallbatch and one-off production in large-scale plants commercially viable. Dr. Köckler: “Industry is in the early stages of a revolution known as Industrie 4.0. It’s a phenomenon that has skyrocketed to the top of the agenda in industrial thinking over the past two years. Meanwhile, there is an enormous information vacuum, and most companies still don’t know what they need to do in order to be ready for Industrie 4.0.

What they need to do, of course, is form close networks with all stakeholders involved in their production processes. HANNOVER MESSE 2015, with its lead theme of ‘Integrated Industry - Join the Network!’, will show them how.”

The key challenges of the fourth industrial revolution – such as achieving universal standards for machine-to-machine communication, maintaining data security and finding new business models – can be mastered only through collective endeavor in networks. This requires effective dialogue and cooperation between the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and IT sectors. The enormous potential that all sectors of industry can unleash through this sort of integration will be on show at HANNOVER MESSE 2015.

Visitors to the fair will witness digitally networked production plants, smart grid technologies, ingenious new production processes, such as 3D printing, and next-generation industrial robots live in action.

They will see collaborative robots with sensor systems so advanced that they can work right alongside their human counterparts without any safety barriers. And they will see IT-based automation solutions that will bring fundamental change to all in-factory processes. Also on display will be smart technologies that manage and coordinate power, gas and heat networks so that capacity can be balanced and optimally deployed across the entire energy system.

What’s more, visitors will be able to watch as additive manufacturing sysContinue on page no.78

Continued from page no.76 tems (3D printers) make individualized products right before their eyes.

These technologies and themes will be explored in even greater depth in the 1,000-plus supporting forums and guided tours on offer at the fair.

HANNOVER MESSE will also examine the social and political dimensions of Industrie 4.0. That’s because the primary impact of the changed work processes and new, data-centric business models sparked by Industrie 4.0 will be on people. Köckler: “In order for Industrie 4.0 to be a success, it needs broadbased acceptance by trade unions, lawmakers and society generally. We therefore encourage industry stakeholders to use HANNOVER MESSE as an opportunity to engage in constructive dialogue and hence foster openness and transparency on all matters relating to integrated industry.”

HANNOVER MESSE 2015 will play a pivotal role in the fourth industrial revolution. “The revolution starts in Hannover,” Dr. Köckler said. “All sectors of industry exhibit at HANNOVER MESSE. That’s everything, from industrial automation and energy to industrial supply, power transmission and control and R&D. No other event of its kind anywhere in the world provides such comprehensive coverage. Only at HANNOVER MESSE can visitors gain such in-depth insights into tomorrow’s integrated factories and energy systems. The fair’s scope ranges from individual Industie-4.0-ready components right through to complete automation solutions.”

and key German industry associations (VDMA, ZVEI and BITKOM) will jointly outline their strategy for achieving integrated production. Köckler: “Germany’s industrial firms have come a long way with their Industrie 4.0 research over the past two years and are now ready to put their findings into practice.” At HANNOVER MESSE on Tuesday, 14 April 2015, Germany’s economics Minister Sigmar Gabriel will outline the nation’s industrial plans and call for cross-border collaboration in the presence of some 250 invited guests from Germany, other parts of Europe, the USA and Asia.

BUDGET EXPECTATIONS

“The growth of the Indian economy, to a great extent, will depend on the nation’s openness and adaptability to energy security.”

- Mr. Anil Chaudhry, Country President and Managing Director, Schneider Electric India.

T

he Union Budget 2015-16 once again carries on its shoulder the great expectation of all business sectors – the Government will provide the regulatory benefits crucial to the sector’s growth. The growth of the Indian economy, to a great extent, will depend on the nation’s openness and adaptability to energy security. To achieve this it will require priority sector lending status under RBI guidelines. A separate budget provision should be made to create a seriously robust transmission system for the renewable energy space if the Government wants to successfully execute its ultra mega power project plan.

There is also a need to provide monetary incentives or reimbursements to state electricity boards or discoms on fulfilling renewable purchase obligation and net metering purchase. This is essential to allow the sector to take off and gain importance vis-a-vis the conventional space.

For the renewable sector, the expectation is a lot more now, spurred by the Government’s enthusiasm and conviction to turn around the still-budding sector into a full-blown, independent industry within the shortest possible time. India’s revision of renewable energy target from 72 GW to 200 GW in solar and wind alone speaks enormously about the shift in balance from conventional to renewable. Keeping in mind this robust outlook of the nation, it is time to consider renewable energy as an independent sector, separate from power.

“We need favourable policy framework which will be conducive for the production of Engineering equipment and EPC industry products manufactured in India” - Mr. K Shanker - Head, Onshore & Overseas Business, Technip India Ltd

W

e would like to see more transparency in the Transfer pricing which will attract and encourage more investments inflow from MNC’s into India. This is important as many countries apply their own variations of the Arm’s Length Principle (ALP) in their transfer pricing regulations. Transfer pricing is critical for MNCs as it directly influences how taxable income is distributed among different countries having various tax rates, thus impacting after tax free cash flow. We need a more transparent and simplified process in place. We need favourable policy framework which will be conducive for the production of Engineering equipment and EPC industry products manufactured in India.

This would be in line with ‘Make in India’ campaign initiated by our Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi. Attractive incentive structure for capital investment will encourage and see the growth of home grown companies and entrepreneurs in India. In order to create large scale employment opportunity and to give a fillip to industry growth, the government should focus on making PCPIR into a reality. Conceptually PCPIR, a specifically delineated Investment Region planned for the establishment

102 | FEBRUARY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

of production facilities for petroleum, chemicals and petrochemicals, is a great initiative to promote the energy sector in India but we are yet to see a full scale implementation of this. The government should look at a market driven long term gas policy as it will help in stabilizing gas prices over the long term. There is a serious concern as to the dip in oil prices worldwide. We have to wait and watch how this would stabilize before we could plan for any eventuality. These are the phases in industry circle but yes, oil price drop had an immediate effect on the upstream industry and as a result couple of projects being kept on hold for the time being.

BUDGET EXPECTATIONS

“Since power is an important element in this regard, we expect a special focus on initiatives that could promote energy efficiency in the budget.”

Mr. Ravichandran Purushothaman, President, Danfoss India

A

s a strong player in the manufacturing sector we expect the government to address key issues of energy security, skill gap and food inflation. The Make in India initiative envisioned by our hon’ble Prime Minster has definitely fueled the industry growth engine. However, while ease of doing business is important it is equally important that necessary infrastructure is in place for industries to manufacture. Since power is an important element in this regard, we expect a special focus on initiatives that could promote energy efficiency in the budget. Improving the energy efficiency of existing infrastructure through incentivisaion and having the right policies for new infrastructure not only improve this ratio but also contribute to lowering GHG emissions.

While we expect the budget to indicate a greater contribution from the manufacturing sector towards the GDP, specific directives need to be rolled out to measure energy efficiency achieved to ensure we are running sustainable businesses. In this regard, we would reckon that a reduction in excise duty by 5 percent can further incentivize the local production of energy efficiency products.

Today there is no tool or policy that mandates the use of energy efficiency products in industries. In fact, energy efficiency should reflect in our GDP. Additionally, given that

104 | FEBRUARY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

SME and MSME inevitably form the backbone of the country’s economy, and the fulcrum on which make in India success depends, tax reforms will be crucial. On this front, we hope rolling out of the GST bill will enable these sectors by easing indirect taxation laws. Food inflation is another issue that will require close monitoring. Last year’s budget saw an encouraging allocation of INR 5000 cores towards the warehouse Infrastructure Fund to help conserve food wastage which in turn will control inflation. This time, in addition to developing cold chain, we hope the entire process from farm to work is taken into consideration. Here, we would like to propose simplification of the CENVAT waiver that can be availed of by cold chain equipment users.

The current dictate demands intensive documentation to testify that the equipment is being used for Agriculture/Horticulture produce storage purposes. Also, in case of sectors unregistered under Excise Dept. such as agriculture, the stipulated conditions are not even applicable, defeating the very purpose.

Furthermore, sectors such as Dairy and Ice cream do not find the impetus in availing this waiver given the cumbersome process.

The same is the case for cold rooms required in distribution / for distributors. The distributors are not excise registered, though he handles excisable product. To make the process more efficient, government will need to give clear direction to enablers such as NABARD on the exact allocation for agriculture and horticulture grid and ease the movement of the produce between States and

allocate specific budget to improve the infrastructure required for the movement.

Encouraging the food processing sector can help divert the excess produce kept in warehouses and ensure economic mobility in the sector.

Last year, the government made Investment allowance @ 15% available to manufacturing units making an investment of Rs. 100 crore or more in a financial year which was subsequently reduced to Rs. 25 crore per annum.

However, Over 90% of food processing industries come under the Small sector band & may not have the flexibility of investing Rs. 25 Crores in one financial year. Since the percentage of investment allowance is fixed at 15 % the manufacturing unit concerned will get only 15% of the amount invested in plant & machinery during the specified financial year which will not suffice.

Therefore, we recommend that this minimum investment requirement be done away with to provide stimulus to SME’s in general & processed food industries in particular. Furthermore, Centre and state should fix the PDS system and ensure that food is not wasted in go-downs. Additionally, R&D of cold chain systems dovetailed to India could be provided with tax incentives.

The next big deterrent to development we see is lack of skilling.

There is a lot that the Manufacturing sector can learn from the Services sector. More provisions must be made to encourage skilling, up skilling and reskilling. Only if we are provided with adequate skills can the sector grow to meet both local and global demands.

Q. What will be the future of the industry ?

The machine tool market in India is poised to grow rapidly as the emphasis on manufacturing in India grows. There are several industry sectors which provide tremendous opportunity for business for machine tool builders. The construction equipment industry is one of the fastest growing sectors and as infrastructure growth peaks this will definitely creating lot of demand for machine tools.

One more sector to look for is the aerospace industry, which is growing at a fast pace in India. Apart from these, medical, defense, telecommunication, precision export components etc, too, are generating demand for machine tools. The automobile and auto component industry remains the biggest customer of machine tools. I think in next 2 years these industries will provide impetus to machine tool builders and will drive demand for the latest generation of CNC machine tools.

Seeing is believing for lathe operators High-speed grinding specialist: Junker is the only manufacturer whose range includes a grinding machine capable of grinding complex contours using profile grinding wheels. The grinding concept is up to three times faster than lathe machining.

T

hey could scarcely believe their eyes. These lathe machining mechanics had been turning parts for decades. In most cases, using the very latest machines available on the market. They required just 25 seconds to turn a valve piston. Now they were astonished to witness how the Junker grinding specialist pressed the start button of the bright yellow Grindstar and just 7 seconds later the finished valve piston was

transported out of the machine on a conveyor belt.That was two years ago, when Junker commissioned its first Grindstar. The metalworking industry was initially understandably skeptical, as it assumed the performance claims to be exaggerated.

Once the truth of the claims began to be confirmed, the industry realized that Junker had pulled off another quantum leap in the world of metalworking.

Continued from page no.124 Fast, precise grinding

The use of a profile grinding wheel allows plunge-cut grinding of the entire workpiece contour, so minimizing the grinding time.

Utilizing synergy effects For the first time, plunge-cut grinding at high speed was optimized for grinding parts classically machined on automatic lathes or sliding head machines: For instance shanks, pistons and nozzle pins. To do this, the grinding machine uses the synergy effects of two machining methods: With up to two wheel heads, the Grindstar not only grinds the contour, it also cuts off the workpiece from the bar stock.

It all happens in just seconds (Fig. 1): Separating, profiling, ejection. With a feed rate of 200 mm/sec, the bar stock first enters the dual carriage machine directly from the loader.

Using collet chucks, the workpiece spindle and secondary spindle hydraulically clamp the bar, which can be up to 6 m in length, and set it rotating Then the first profile grinding wheel starts to move towards the bar.

It cuts off the workpiece from the bar material in less than a second. Then two things happen simultaneously: First, the contour wheel at the end of the bar grinds the right end of the profile of the next workpiece.

While second, the secondary spindle slightly moves to the side to allow the other grinding wheel with a different contour to finish the profile on the left side of the previously cut off workpiece.Finally, the collet chucks open. A spring knocks the workpiece into the part catcher, which deposits the workpiece onto a conveyor belt.

The feed bar with clamping sleeve then pushes the material bar into the grinding area and the highContinue on page no.128

The Junker Grindstar is a dual-carriage grinding machine which combines plunge grinding with separation grinding.

Left: The lathe leaves a residual cut-off burr in the center of the workpiece.

Right: The Grindstar delivers a workpiece free of cut-off burrs or chip impressions.

Continued from page no.126 speed cycle starts again from the beginning. If the bar loader detects that a bar has been almost exhausted, the feed bar with the 100 to 150 mm long waste piece is withdrawn from the machine and ejected from the bar channel.

A totally different approach than lathe machining During lathe machining operations, the workpiece is subjected to extreme loads, and consequently the cutting forces restrict the speed of machining and extension length.

For the machining process, the lathe requires three tools (cut-off insert, indexable insert and profile insert), which have to be moved into position each time (Fig. 1).

By contrast, the cutting forces are far lower overall in a grinding machine, as they expose the workpiece to radial load. This is why the Grindstar operates using only two tools, the two profile grinding wheels, which have to be moved into position only once.

Turning leaves behind typical cut-off burrs on the workpiece center and also produces long continuous chips which impede the

128

| ENGINEERING REVIEW

automation process and leave impressions behind on the workpiece.

By contrast, ground workpieces do not require any finishing work (Fig. 4). In addition, scrubber nozzles ensure that no chips are left on the Grindstar’s grinding wheels.

Dimensional and process stability Grinding achieves accuracy to an ISO tolerance of 6. A dynamic balancing system ensures absolute concentricity of the grinding wheels, which leaves behind a smooth surface. The galvanically bonded diamond or CBN grinding wheels are specially produced to order. Consequently this is initial investment. Custom produced profile grinding wheels for complex applications can result in costs of several thousand Dollars. Compared to turning inserts, these constitute a considerable initial purchase cost.

However,the Grindstar makes up for this and more when it comes to running costs. One of the development engineers puts it very concisely: The machine lives from the piece numbers it produces. Taking this into account, the achievable savings are enormous. The fully automatic grinding machine is simply far faster than a lathe and is hardly ever at a standstill. The thousands of abrasive grains in the grinding wheel are responsible for the sustained dimensional accuracy and process stability. In many cases, this high-speed grinding wheel will last for six months, even where the machine is operating around the clock, seven days a week. Once the grinding wheel is worn, it is recoated and its main body reused.

In addition, the wheels can be fitted with several profile shapes to allow workpiece families to be ground. This eliminates the need for unnecessary wheel changes. Generally speaking, the typical part spec-

trum of the Grindstar ranges in diameter between 2 and 20 mm. Also possible are parts with a diameter of up to 42 mm. Limitations are set by certain elements such as radii, which cannot be smaller than 0.2 mm. In the automotive sector particularly, the trend is moving increasingly towards ever smaller parts with a complex contour and stringent precision requirements. No wonder that an increasing number of Grindstar machines are at work reliably grinding parts day in and day out that used to be produced on a lathe.

Treatment of the grinding sludge Grinding sludge formerly required costly disposal as special waste.

Junker has addressed this problem and over recent years has developed a new process for the treatment of grinding sludge. This draws sufficient oil from the grinding sludge that it contains below the minimum value for customary metal scrap. As a result of the separation process, the oil does not sustain any loss of quality, and is therefore returned for used as a coolant. This creates a sustainable cycle.

Summary Everything is right about the complete Grindstar package, as Junker considered every conceivable aspect in its development: Short cycle times, a high degree of automation and optimum waste treatment.

Even after six decades of existence of the Indian Machine Tool Industry, we still import 75% of our machine tool needs : Jayanthram IMTEX-2015, the 8-day Machine Tool extravaganza at Bangalore drew down its curtain on 28th Jan. 2015. The Daily Show Bulletins and the newspaper supplements portrayed an optimistic picture of the performance displayed by both Indian and overseas players in the machine tool arena. They also quoted attractive figures of the business generated at the event and the beneficiaries. Engineering Review asked some searching questions to some of the prominent names in machine tools to understand the impact the Asia’s largest machine tool show created on the Indian industry. It is interesting to see what some of the opinion leaders have to say about the whole show and how the indigenous players are pitted against the world leaders who continue to make a differentiated offer of mother machines and value added services. - Editor

Q. What are your impressions of IMTEX 2015?

Mr. A.P. Jayanthram, Managing Director, Heidenhain Optics & Electronics India Pvt. Ltd

IMTEX 2015 , the largest Machine Tool exhibition of India with 900 exhibitors from 24 countries, was different from the previous shows, in the sense that there were more serious interest from the end- user fraternity to evaluate new technologies and understand productivity propositions offered by manufacturers from India and abroad. There was an unmistakable air of optimism among both producers and consumers of Machine Tools based on expectations of quality engagement and policy prescriptions from the Government, in the light of “Make in India” objective. Indian manufacturers are realizing that “just enough” offerings are no more appreciated and there was a visible effort at least from some quarters to show products that can match the global product lines, which is a very welcome sign.

Q. What are the trends in technology it portrayed, suggestive of the shape of things to come in the machine tool field?

Focus on simultaneous 5 axes machining was perhaps the top topic in this show, as there is considerable interest in this area from the Aero-

space, Die mould customers from India. Even Indian manufacturers were seen to have initiated some bold efforts in this area, based on the global technical partnerships and self acquired knowledge inputs. Additionally, there were several foreign machine builders who showcased their state-of-the- art machining solutions. Indian manufacturers have come to the conclusion that the only way to raise their ranking in Machine production and consumption will come about only by producing global quality in India without compromising on inputs with low cost responses.

Q. What are the innovations showcased by your company and what’s the impact you could create in this mega technology event?

HEIDENHAIN is the most trusted partner for the world machine building community for over a century.

We make tremendous efforts to be innovative in technological leadership. A lot of components that build quality, reliability and character in the machine tool, like CNC controls, linear and angular encoders, length gauges, touch probes, motors, drives Continue on page no.142

IMAGES & REFLECTIONS

Continued from page no.140 etc come from the HEIDENHAIN production system.

We showed the most modern CNC controls for combined milling and turning operations particularly suited for high end 5 axes interpolations and with vastly superior 3D graphic simulation, and capability to produce clean surfaces and perfect contours in shorter time. Together with the new TNC controls and new functions in the control software that translate to dynamic precision and dynamic efficiency, we showed our new hardware concepts that translate into unparalleled user friendliness and long term reliability.

Super accurate and contamination proof, new design linear encoders and rotary encoders were on show in our booth. “Position detection with and without linear encoders� explaining why Machine Tools without linear scales and angle encoders may not be accurate, formed the most passionate debates we had in our booth with the engineering community that use machine tools.

An Indian made Die mould machining centre made in Bangalore with our controls was the talk of the event as it showed a promise to be a cost-

effective import substitution product of global performance standards.

4. When you take an impartial look, what are the lessons we could learn from this event?

A lot of Indian Machine builders were showing standard machines for automotive industry and most seem to be competing for the same market with similar products. It has to be remembered that even after 6 six decades of existence of Indian Machine Tool industry, we still import 75% of our Machine Tool needs! There could be more offerings for high end applications and design and production philosophy of world leaders. In terms of value, India produces just 5% of machine tools, when compared to the leader Germany. China produces at least 15 times as that of India. We need to go far, if we have to occupy the seat of a real global player in machine Tools. The exhibitors could also focus more on the important art of Sales Engineering, which contributes in conveying value propositions built into their products to combat the Indian tendency to look for low prices rather than lasting value and overall cost of ownership of a Machine Tool.

Plasma & Automated sheet metal cutting Q. What Is Plasma & Plasma Cutting?

Plasma is a state of matter like a solid, liquid or gas. Adding heat to material causes the molecules in it to vibrate or move more quickly. When a solid is heated, the molecules start to vibrate more vigorously. Eventually the solid turns to a liquid and the molecules actually move around and collide with each other. As more energy or heat is added the motion becomes faster and more vigorous still and eventually the molecules move so quickly and collide so energetically (violently) that they separate and form a gas. If still more energy is added to the gas the molecules travel faster and thus collide with each other more violently and the gas changes to a plasma.

An atom consists of a positively charged core and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The molecules in a gas can be either individual atoms or collections of such atoms that are very closely connected. When plasma is formed, the collisions between the molecules eventually get so violent that, at first,

the molecules will break up into the individual atoms and eventually some of the atoms will separate from, or lose, some of their electrons from their outer shell. The gas changes to plasma when a critical number of atoms lose electrons. When kinetic energy in a gas is increased, some of the electrons are freed from the atoms outer shell and plasma is formed.

When an atom releases electrons it becomes an ion. When enough energy is added to a gas that there is a balance between the number of atoms releasing electrons and those naturally recombining with free electrons, the gas is said to be ionized. This ionized gas is plasma. In plasma, there is an important fraction of ionized atoms at any given time, so there are always ions and electrons that are separate and free. The energy input into the gas has to be ongoing otherwise the gas will eventually cool enough that the electrons will mate back with the ionized atoms. When this happens, the plasma returns to a gas state.

Plasma is a thermal, very hot, electrically conducting gas, from positive and negative ions, electrons and excited and neutral atoms and molecules. In physics, we often talk about the 4th state. As the plasma gas a monatomic argon or diatomic hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen gases and air can be used. The plasma gas is ionized and dissociated by the energy of the plasma arc. By a recombination of atoms and molecules outside the plasma jet of the system, plasma rapidly releases the received energy and enhances the effect of thermal plasma beam on the machined object. Plasma jet Continue on page no.146

Further, a dramatic reduction takes place in the amount of cut-edge finishing.

Continued from page no.144 is usually additionally cooled with water. This allows the energy density of the plasma beam reach up to 2106 W/cm2. Due to the high temperature, the plasma expands and flows with supersonic speed in the direction of the machined object (anode).

In the plasma arc, temperatures rise to 30 000 ° C; in conjunction with high kinetic energy of the plasma beam, a very high cutting speed can be used, depending on a material and a thickness of all electrically conductive materials.

For the cutting process, a pilot arc between the cathode and the nozzle is first ignited by means of high voltage. This weaker energy pilot arc prepares partially, by ionizing, the path between the plasma torch and the machined object. By touching of the pilot arc and the machined object (cursory incision and cursory piercing) the power of the main arc is automatically increased.All kinds of steels, brass, aluminium, copper, stainless steel and other metal alloys can be cut.

ROAD TO PLASMA-CUTTING AUTOMATION Fabricators note several reasons

146

| ENGINEERING REVIEW

for considering the move from manual plasma-arc cutting (PAC) to automated cutting. A basic reason to automate is simple: manufacturers need quality cut parts at a reasonable price and at high rates of productivity.

Purchasing the right system Facilitating the transition to automation requires a number of decisions. First, purchasing the right type of automated PAC setup needs a complete understanding of how the part requirements would apply to automation in terms of money. High-precision dual-gas cutting systems cost many Lakhs of Rupees, often accompanied by an equally expensive controller.

While these setups provide very high cutting speeds, it is difficult, if not impossible, for a small fabricator to justify such an investment.

Automated plasma table For cutting the same shape multiple times, using an automated plasma table saves hours of post-cut grinding, which enables Cornfield Customs to maintain price competitiveness.

The move to an automated system increases productivity, and the machine produces good, clean cuts.

Quick Switch from Automated to Manual While most users largely dedicate their PAC system to automated cutting on its table, arrangement can be made to quickly switch to manual cutting, by a quick-disconnect torch feature. This allows the user to efficiently switch from the setup’s 180-deg. mechanized cutting torch to a 70- or 90-deg. manual torch.

Software automatically detects the selected torch to switch between automatic and manual modes.

Technical Tips For Better Plasma Cutting Over the years, the air plasma arc process has been greatly refined so that plasma provides good quality cutting, gouging and piercing at very high speeds for a much lower cost.

This cutting process is truly perfect for many industries.

Plasma arc cutting is a process where an open arc can be constricted by passing through a small nozzle, or orifice, from the electrode to the workpiece. Although the technology behind the plasma arc may seem complicated, the process itself is very easy to learn and perform.

PLASMA - A CUT ABOVE OXYFUEL ● While oxy-fuel was the most common method of cutting carbon steel in the past, plasma cutting is gaining favour because it provides numerous advantages.

Plasma cuts faster than oxy-fuel; a pre-heat cycle is not required; the kerf width (the width of the cut) produced is small; and, it has a smaller heat-affected zone, which Continue on page no.148

TECH TRENDS

Continued from page no.146 prevents the surrounding area from warping or damaging paint. ● In addition, plasma cutting can be used on any type of electricityconducting metal (the oxy-fuel process cannot cut stainless steel or aluminium). Moreover, plasma cutting is a cleaner, less expensive and more convenient method of metal cutting because clean, dry air is used for most plasma cutting applications. ● A properly installed air plasma arc cutting setup is safer than oxy-fuel gas cutting. This is because there is a chance of flashbacks and the danger of flammable gases in exposed hoses with oxy-fuel torches. ● Plasma cutting is easier for hole piercing due to the plasma jet. The plasma jet is the swirling force of air around the arc, in combination with the arc attachment, which focuses the heat into the metal.

In addition, plasma arc piercing does not require the metal to be preheated, which saves production time. The plasma jet also makes for a better choice when cutting stacked materials.

PLASMA CUTTING APPLICATIONS The plasma process can be used to cut any material that is a good electrical conductor. Unlike chemical cutting, it can be used on any metal for applications such as stack cutting, beveling, shape cutting, gouging and piercing.

Plasma cutting can be successfully performed on a variety of material sizes as well. Plasma can be used to cut anything from thin gauge aluminium to stainless and carbon steel up to several inches, depending upon the power of the cutting machine.

SETTING-UP A PLASMA ARC CUTTER To set-up a plasma arc cutter, simply hook-up the compressed air to the plasma cutting unit. Three choices of air are available: bottled, in-house air supply or a small air compressor.

Most plasma units have a built in regulator to maintain the proper flow of air for the system.

To set the amperage, or heat, of the cutting unit to the proper level, make a few practice cuts with the amperage set high. You can then adjust the amperage down according to your travel speed. If the amperage is too high or your travel speed is too slow, the material you are cutting may become hot and accumulate dross. Travelling at the right speed and using the right amount of heat will produce a very clean cut with less dross on the bottom of the cut, as well as little or no distortion to the metal.

OPERATING A PLASMA ARC FOR CUTTING Begin cutting by placing the torch as close as possible to the edge of the base metal. Press the trigger to initiate the pre-flow air; the pilot arc will then light, followed by the cutting arc. Once the cutting arc starts, move the torch slowly across the metal.

Adjust your speed so that the cutting sparks emerge from the bottom of the metal. You should be able to see the bottom of the workpiece and the arc should be directed straight down. If the sparks are not visible at the bottom of the plate, you have not penetrated the metal. This is because your travel speed is too fast, you have insufficient amperage, or the plasma stream is directed at an angle. At the end of a cut, angle the torch slightly towards the end of the cut or pause briefly to completely finish the cut.

The post flow air will continue for a

short period of time after the trigger is released to cool the torch and consumable parts, however cutting can be resumed immediately.

OPERATING A PLASMA ARC FOR GOUGING Plasma arc gouging can be accomplished by placing the torch at approximately a 40-degree angle to the base metal. Press the trigger for the pre-flow air and pilot arc.

When the cutting arc ignites, form the arc length a short distance from the workpiece. Further adjust the arc length and travel speed as needed.

Do not gouge too deep, as several passes may be needed to accomplish the necessary gouge. Again, after releasing the trigger, the post-flow air will continue for a short period of time, but gouging can be resumed immediately.

OPERATING A PLASMA ARC FOR PIERCING Piercing - creating a hole - can be performed by placing the torch at a 40-degree angle to the workpiece.

Press the trigger. When the cutting arc is initiated bring the torch tip to a 90-degree angle and the arc will pierce the base metal. A good rule to follow is that you can pierce up to 1/2 of the maximum cutting thickness provided by the machine.

HEIDENHAIN Linear Encoders Improve the Machining Accuracy

By A.P. Jayanthram, Managing Director, Heidenhain Optics & Electronics India Pvt. Ltd.

T

he capability of a machine tool to cope with rapidly changing operating conditions is a decisive factor for its accuracy. A transition from roughing to finishing completely changes the mechanical and thermal load on the machine. Flexible machining of small manufacturing batches also results in rapid changes in the operating conditions. Particularly in small production runs, however, the profitable manufacturing of orders with narrow tolerances depends upon the accuracy of the first part. That’s why the thermal accuracy of machine tools has become a prominent issue.

The feed drives are of particular importance in this context. High traversing speeds and accelerations put a heavy load on the feed drives, causing heat to be generated.

Without suitable position measuring technology, this rise in temperature can lead to positioning errors of up to 100 Îźm within a few minutes.

Thermal stability of machine tools Solutions for avoiding thermally induced dimensional deviations of work pieces have become more crucial than ever for the machine tool building industry. Active cooling, symmetrically designed machine structures & temperature measurement are common practice today. Thermal drift is primarily caused by feed axes on the basis of recirculating ball screws. The temperature distribution along the ball screw can rapidly change as a result of the feed rates and the moving forces. On machine tools without linear encoders, the

150

| ENGINEERING REVIEW

resulting changes in length (typically: 100 Îźm/m within 20 min.) can cause significant flaws in the work piece.

Position Measurement of Feed Drives The position of an NC feed axis can be measured through the ball screw in combination with a rotary encoder, or through a linear encoder.

If the slide position is determined from the pitch of the feed screw and a rotary encoder (Figure 2), then the ball screw must perform two tasks: As the drive system it must transfer large forces, but as the measuring device it is expected to provide highly accurate values and to reproduce the screw pitch. However, the position control loop only includes the rotary encoder. Because changes in the driving mechanics due to wear or temperature cannot be compensated, this is called semiclosed-loop operation.

Positioning errors of the drives

Figure 2 Position feedback control with a recirculating ball screw & a rotary encoder in semiclosed-loop mode become unavoidable and can have a considerable influence on the quality of work pieces.

If a linear encoder is used for measurement of the slide position (Figure 3), the position control loop includes the complete feed mechanics. This is referred to as closed-loop

operation. Play and inaccuracies in the transfer elements of the machine have no influence on position measurement. This means that the accuracy of measurement depends almost solely on the precision and location of the linear encoder.

Figure 3 Position feedback control with a linear encoder in closed-loop mode

Summary The successful fulfillment of manufacturing orders requires machine tools with high thermal stability.

As a consequence, feed axes must achieve the required accuracy over the complete traverse range even with strongly varying speeds and machining forces.

Position errors may result if the slide position is only determined from the spindle pitch and a rotary encoder on the motor side. These errors can be completely eliminated by using linear encoders. Angle encoders used on rotary axes provide similar benefits since the mechanical drive components are also subject to thermal expansion.

Linear and angle encoders from HEIDENHAIN ensure high precision of the components to be manufactured even under strongly varying operating conditions of the machine tools.

Flux-Cored Wire - The Future of Welding

By Prof. R. Sreedaran.

Abstract This article brings the specific and special merits of flux-cored wire in the method of production and application in Industries. It also helps to appreciate how it is going to be the best method of making electrode in terms of quality & cost-effectiveness for all future welding applications.

The simple and elegant design of the manufacturing system helps to make any type of electrode to a desired specification to the customer’s needs at short notice.

FCAW Welding Flux-cored wire Flux-cored wire is basically a tubular electrode. The conventional electrode has the core the wire and the flux is coated outside. In tubular electrode, flux becomes the core and tube becomes the holding system.

Instead of the coating factor we have a FILLING FACTOR which guides the flux to metal ratio. The above concept makes the making of electrode easier and simulation techniques can be very easily adopted to make various types of electrodes to specific customer needs and specifications.

The method of production is made simpler, easier to operate and get the desired quality of welding consumables. This is possible due to the best and relevant technology in flux preparation, flux filling, tube forming and wire drawing

methods and with special protective coatings. The digital technology and computers, software have brought the above major changes. The changes in the machine designs have helped in making high quality welding consumables.

Manufacturing process One of the earliest methods was filling the tube of standard diameter, wall thickness, length and weight with flux. The principle of vibrating method was used in this method.

The vibro fill method consists of vibrating table of specified dimensions and either a mechanical or electrical vibrator attached to it. The vibration is designed that it ensures unidirectional flow material from bottom to top layer of the drawn tube mounted on the vibrating table in the form of filled bobbin. This operation takes a few hours as the case may be. Normally the design is made to take care of two bobbins. Each bobbin weighs around 500 kgs. The predetermined and calculated amount of flux is filled.

The specified quality control system is followed to ensure the desired values will be attained.

Flux preparation is though similar to the conventional method; care should be taken to ensure that grain size and flux density are consistent and maintained uniformly.

Throughout the entire process of filling this should be maintained.

The purpose of this to ensure that there is no segregation of the particle or of the different materials which is part of the flux. Special additives and binding materials are used for this purpose. The next step is to draw the tubes to the intermediate size for heat treatment. This is done by special type tube drawing machine and drawn to desired size for annealing / heat treatment process.

The drawn wire in the form of coils are annealed either in inert gas atmosphere or vacuum annealing furnace to get the desired results.

The above wire coils are drawn by wiredrawing machines to the desired final size with copper coating or special coating as the case may be.

The latest trend The above method is slowly changed to a simple method of straight line drawing and also avoided heat treatment by selecting suitable composition of tube of soft material to facilitate the drawing without heat treatment. The earlier method of fluxcored wire production is not popular due to many operational difficulties and involved a discontinuous process.

The most popular and proven system consists of the following operational methods.

1. A batch house of computer controlled system to produce flux of desired specifications.

2. Inline strip dispenser with tube forming/folding system after filling the desired flux.

3. Flux dispenser with monitoring systems to ensure the correct amount of filling of the flux. The above unit is the part of the system.

metal composition. Two kind of fluxes are normally used which are in the granulated form or powder form as per the desired process and also by the research experience of the fluxcored wire producers.

Generally the method of flux preparation is similar to the one that is used for stick electrodes in the earlier designs. In the later designs additions of alloying materials are done at the time of dosing by special methods to ensure the allot materials are not separated and are of the expected value by adding at the time of filling in the case of strip to flux-cored wire unit. The feeders are normally belt feeders either of single belt design or dual belt design. The dosing, monitoring systems are of computer controlled design that ensures consist ent quality of flux is fed to the strip before tube formation.

Process methods and controls for quality production The system operates on proven techniques and quality methods well established in the welding industry.

EMC Cable Gland

E

MC Cable Glands are used in applications which involve shielded cables for electromagnetic protection.

These Glands help in maintaining electromagnetic integrity of the shielded cable by just tightening the gland. To get perfect shielding, the outer sheath of the cable is passed through the EMC gland. Tightening the gland enables a special spring inside the gland to come in contact with cable braiding. This not only helps in electromagnetic shielding but also gives an IP68 protection level along with strain relief to the cable. Cable glands with the long thread or reduced clamping are also available in our range.

Thyristor Switch Module (LTSM) for Capacitor Bank

L

ibratherm offers Thyristor Switch Module specially designed for Automatic Power Factor Control (APFC) applications. In APFC the capacitor banks are sequentially selected, based on the command from the power factor controller. In conventional method, the capacitor banks are selected by switching the contactors. LTSM modules allows the selection of capacitor banks using thyristors.

Thyristors being solid state switch has many advantages

www.engrreview.com

compared to electromechanical contactors.

Libratherm make LTSM modules are available to switch 3 phase capacitor banks rated for 5, 10, 15, 25, 50 and 100 KVAR. Zero cross over switching technique is used to turn on and turn off the thyristors (i.e. back to back connected SCRs) in series with the three phase capacitor banks.

Advantages of Thyristor switch module over conventional electro-mechanical contactors: ● Since there is no mechanical contacts involved, no arcing and sparking takes place and no audible switching noise is produced. ● Due to zero cross over switching techniques, voltage transients can be controlled within the safe limits. ● Using LTSM it is possible to switch the capacitors at 100mS rate, thereby power factor close to unity can be maintained. Contactors cannot be switched that fast. ● There are no limitations in number of switching operations.

These switching modules LTSM are easy to install and come with built in indications for normal function and faults, along with built in protection circuits for fail safe operations.

Generally, each of the real time power factor controllers (RPFC – relay module) gives 4 to 12 outputs, to select that many capacitor banks to maintain desired power factor and hence it will be required to use that many numbers of LTSM modules. User have to specify the required KVAR ratings of LTSM while placing the order with us.
