FDK & FZP versions : New easy maintenance series The new FDK and FZP versions dramatically simplify operations for applications that require periodic maintenance. They also enable a quick and easy disassembling of the gearbox from the machine, thanks to the new output stage design. These design innovations are highly beneficial for applications in the mining, sugar processing and marine sectors.

onfiglioli´s 300 Series is a robust and versatile solution perfectly suited for harsh applications where shock loadings and impacts are more the rule than the exception. It features strong bearings to ensure a long lifespan. Bonfiglioli´s ongoing mission to improve and innovate their planetary gearboxes for industrial applications has led to two important new features that result in an easier and safer assembling/disassembling of the drive to/ from the application. The new FDK and FZP versions feature an output hollow shaft that will make the series

FDK: hollow shaft with dual keys and axial fixing ring

FZP: slotted hollow shaft with axial fixing ring

22 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

more effective and suitable for »shaft mount» assembly. The hollow shaft solutions reduce the time and effort for the disassembling of the drive from the customer´s machine shaft, thanks to the new solution with the axial locking ring. The new product solutions make mounting and commissioning easier and faster thanks to the smarter design and allow for easier and more accurate screw tightening. Furthermore, the cutting-edge design of the shrink disk will improve and speed up set up and commissioning. The hollow shaft with the two keys at 120° will allow full rated torque and max torque transmissions. The axial locking ring with threaded holes completes the solution for an easier and more reliable shaft mounting. They keyed hollow shaft is available in smaller sizes, ranging from 300 to 310 and will be included in the designation of the series with the acronym »FDK»; when the FZP version is available it will come in larger sizes from 311 to 325. Another advanced design component of the new 300 series is the splined hollow shaft which meets the DIN 5480 standard and offers the same strong bearings available in the current FP version. It provides double

G0A: shrink disk in two parts

centering for an aligned assembling of the solid shaft of the machine. Like the keyed hollow shaft, the splined hollow shaft also includes an axial locking key with threaded holes for easier mounting and grants full rated and max torque transmissions. The new shrink disks prevent accidental mounting errors (even when dismounting and re-mounting the shrink disk) thanks to simpler design and »visual-control» of screw tightening torque. This advanced design makes the 300 series now complete and effective for any shaft mounted requirements for all sizes and ratios. The series has a torque range of 1,000-1,287000 Nm and gear ratios of 3.4-5,234. Bonfiglioli´s new 300 series offers customers a higher quality and more flexible solution due to its ability to adapt to client and application requirements and provides more control during the mounting process. It is also the most compact solution available on the market. For more information editor@divyamediaonline.com www.engrreview.com

Achema 2015 Fully automated assembly of up to 70 insulin pens per minute Modular platform MRA from Bosch Development of improved MRA platform backed by cooperation with pen manufacturers Flexible and modular design suited for future upgrades Complete line integration including downstream labelling and end of line packaging

t Achema, Bosch Packaging Technology showcased its latest version of the rotary pen assembly machine MRA. Developed by the Bosch subsidiary Moeller & Devicon, the machine is designed to assemble medical devices such as standard four-piece disposable pens or single-shot auto-injectors. These are used, for instance, for diabetes care, the treatment of autoimmune diseases, hormone replacement therapies or emergency medicine.“We introduced the MRA to the market at last year’s Interpack in Germany. Since then, we have refined the technology by cooperating with several manufacturers of pens and auto-injectors, and have adapted the assembly processes for different models,” Michael Andersen, sales director at Moeller & Devicon, explained. “This way we can offer customers the appropriate machine with the required features according to the pens or autoinjectors in use.” Together with primary and secondary packaging solutions, the new MRA can be combined to complete lines. Four pens at the same time The MRA assembles the four components of each pen one step at a time: infeed systems load the pen caps, cartridge holders, cartridges and dosing mechanisms into the machine from four different in-feed stations, and fit them together to ready-to-use pens. The fully-automated machine handles four pens at the same time and achieves an output of up to 70 pens per minute. Incorrectly assembled products are automatically detected and rejected. Thanks to its open construction, the platform

Standard upstream and downstream options As an option, the MRA platform can be combined with additional upstream and downstream equipment. For instance, the liquid pharmaceuticals can be filled into cartridges and inspected for particles and cosmetic container defects on other Bosch equipment. “What customers ask for most are additional downstream solutions,” Michael Andersen explained. This includes labelling machines from Moeller & Devicon, which have been especially designed for pens and auto-injectors, as well as fully automated horizontal cartoning machines either from Bosch or third party suppliers, which can be combined to complete lines. An integration of downstream case packing and palletizing equipment is also possible. “The flexible and modular design of the MRA platform enables an upgrade with further process steps, such as laser engraving of the pens or serialization,” Andersen underlined. Moreover, the platform can also be adapted for other medtec products, such as infusion sets, cannulas or catheters. The entire range of rotary pen assembly machines by Moeller & Devicon is complemented by manual, semi-automated and fully automated linear solutions for all customer requirements.

growth story. I would also like to take this opportunity to most importantly thank our employees, who have become part of the Cooper family; grown with us and in turn helped us grow”. Designed by Ar. Amol Hatkar from Arcaids Architectural Consultants Pvt Ltd, Nariman House is the personification of Cooper Corporation’s rich heritage and legacy. The design of the building has been inspired by the logo of Cooper Corporation. The building plan has been designed in three ‘C’ shape wings, connected together horizontally with a hexagonal atrium. Each of these wings houses a department which handles various verticals of Cooper Corporation. The building has been oriented after careful analysis of the sun path and wind flow pattern to maximise the use of natural resources. The external walls of the building are cavity walls to reduce heat transfer and special care has been taken to ensure rain water harvesting and harnessing the renewable solar power to meet the company’s power requirements. The floors are connected together with an unsupported flying staircase which is highlight of the structure and showcases the aspirational and go-getter attitude of Cooper Corporation. While different colour scheme for each floor breaks the monotony, the fountain under the staircase in the central atrium acts as a beautiful transition space. Cooper Corporation’s commitment to quality, service and product innovation has consistently kept pace with the changing market needs worldwide. The company’s rapid strides in the global market bear testimony to this fact. Cooper’s products have been accepted internationally in countries ranging from Central America, Africa, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, UAE, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Total global sales of the Freudenberg Group amounted to Rs. 56,860 crore or €7,039.1 million (2013: €6,662.5 million), representing growth of €416.6 million or 6.3 percent over the previous year, thus resulting in global record sales for the fifth consecutive year. “India is a market of considerable potential for the Freudenberg Group and the country makes a considerable contribution to the Freudenberg Group’s innovative strength. We are therefore committed to systematic investment in this region over the long-term. In 2014, the Group made local

investments totaling to Rs. 97.6 crore in India”, said Dr. Jörg Matthias Grossmann, Regional Representative India at the press conference in Bengaluru today. Largest investments One significant project is the new production site of ChemTrend and Klüber Lubrication in Mysore, that will officially open in August 2015. For a total of around Rs. 135 crore, it is one of the largest investments in the Asia-Pacific region of the Freudenberg Group. This is where more than 20 products will be developed and manufactured for the customers in the South East Asia/Pacific region. The site at Mysore – buildings with a surface area of 17,000 m2 on a site of some 40,000 m2 – also hosts product development facilities and major tribology testing facilities with equipment such as an FZG test rig. FZG stands for Gear Research Centre. This is the only one within Klüber outside Munich and the only one in India until now. At the start of the year, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies massively expanded its commitment in India. The company has been involved with the Indian market through its joint venture Sigma Freudenberg NOK (SFN) in Mohali since 2001. In February 2015, SFN opened a second, completely new factory in Basma about 35 km away. The plant marks a new stage in Freudenberg’s commitment to India. At a cost of more than Rs. 155 crore, a highly modern production facility has arisen on more than 23,000 square meters. For the most part, radial shaft sealing rings and O-rings will be produced at the site for the automotive sector and general industry. The growing demand in a number of segments – the auto industry, agricultural and construction machinery, mining, power stations, and the steel industry – made the construction of a second production facility essential.

support for the region affected by the tsunami in the form of a Training Center. In the meantime, about 350 young people have been given an opportunity to train in a technical vocation so that they can shape their own future and the future of their country. Education is also key for Freudenberg as an employer. A few years ago, the company started its FIELD (Freudenberg India Entrepreneurial Leadership Development) program with the intention of training and developing Freudenberg’s future managers in the areas of sales, operations and finance. The participants of the program are mainly recruited from the Indian Institutes of Management in Bangalore and Kozhikode, the Indian School of Business and the National Institute of Industrial Engineering. Freudenberg offers its graduates a global perspective from the beginning of their career and the opportunity to take on management positions. The Freudenberg Group also embarked on a journey of Talent Management and created opportunities for exchange of high potential employees between Business Groups by holding Talent Dialogues across the globe – in Germany, China, North and South America and India. The goal is to identify the top talents within the regions and open up opportunities for them to develop and apply their talent and skills. Besides, such an exercise also develops great focus among people leaders with regard to potential competencies and developmental needs of their team members. Freudenberg financial performance in 2014 and outlook On the basis of the pro-rata consolidation of joint ventures, the Freudenberg Group reported sales of €7,039.1 million (previous year: €6,662.5 million) in 2014, representing growth of €416.6 million or 6.3 percent over the previous year. Adjusted for the effects of acquisitions and disinvestments to the amount of €131.0 million and exchange rate effects, sales were 5.6 percent or €368.0 million higher than the previous year. Sales rose in all Business Groups. Consolidated profit ran at €478.3 million (previous year: €401.5 million), mainly as a result of market success and innovative products. As at December 31, 2014, the Freudenberg Group employed 40,456 people (previous year: 39,897 people). The financial data are based on the pro-rata consolidation method (including the activities of the 50:50 joint ventures) which Freudenberg continues to use for the management of its operating activities. Under IFRS financial reporting standards, 50:50 joint ventures are consolidated by the equity method. This means sales and employee figures are not taken into consideration. Overall, Freudenberg expects a successful year in 2015, with sales growth outpacing the market. The high quality of innovative products aimed specifically at meeting the needs of the Group`s customers, is expected to generate further growth in India.

Painting & Coating processes with improved quality and flexibility at lower costs per piece 6th leading international trade fair for industrial coating technology in Karlsruhe (Germany) from 19th to 22th April 2016

hen it comes to painting and coating processes, the aim around the globe is to cut unit costs while simultaneously improving quality, productivity and sustainability. PaintExpo will be presenting solutions that focus on achieving these aims. Ten months before it is due to start, the trade fair already has over 300 companies on its list of exhibitors (status as of 15th June 2015). The leading international trade fair for industrial coating technology will be held at the fairground in Karlsruhe in Southern Germany from 19th to 22nd April 2016. The wide range of exhibits on show varies from pretreatment right through to quality control and packaging. Regardless of the branch of industry concerned and the coating materials used, contract coaters and in-house painting companies throughout the world are faced with the challenge of making processes more efficient and sustainable. This can only be achieved by using as little material and energy as possible to generate the required surface quality as well as by maximizing productivity. To meet these requirements, from 19th to 22nd April 2016 PaintExpo will be presenting products and services along the entire process chain for wet painting, powder coating and coil coating. These will be presented in such a diversity that has never seen anywhere else in the world. For this reason, by mid-June over 300 companies from 19 countries had already confirmed bookings for their booths at the leading international trade fair for industrial coating technology in Karlsruhe (Germany). “But it’s not just the facts and figures that please us. We also have well-known companies who have 56 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

registered for the forthcoming PaintExpo for the first time. That is why we can already say today that practically all market and technology leaders will be present in Karlsruhe,” reported Jürgen Haussmann, Managing Director of FairFair GmbH and organizer of PaintExpo.” Solutions from pretreatment to final inspection In all probability, in-house painting companies and contract coaters will find the solutions they need at the forthcoming PaintExpo. Due to their energy-saving potentials and improved environmental compatibility, nanobased systems are increasingly being favored by all sectors of industry for the pretreatment of metal substrates. When it comes to cleaning and pretreating plastic components, alternative technologies - such as CO2 snowjet cleaning, plasma-cleaning and steam-cleaning - are becoming more and more popular. These technologies can be integrated into painting lines to save on costs, energy consumption and space. Manufacturers are offering equipment and optimization concepts as solutions to cope with ever-smaller batch sizes and the ever-growing color spectrum. Aimed at flexibility and efficiency, these guarantee an optimum quality of coatings. New developments in drying technologies and feeding systems are helping to reduce energy consumption and thus lower costs per piece. Both are designed to minimize conditioned air and heat losses. Cost savings are also being made through the use of “off-the-peg” painting robots and automation solutions, which enable paint to be applied more accurately

and reject rates to be decreased. Another way of reducing material consumption and increasing flexibility is to implement intelligent paint logistics with paint supply systems. Promising developments are currently being made in the field of wet painting – with regard to both metal and plastic substrates – and also in coating systems, with the goal of reducing the number of process steps required. Efforts to replace solvent paints with water-based alternatives also continue unceasingly. The current trend in powder paints is towards systems which enable thinner, high-quality and highly-resistant layers to be produced. Coating systems which crosslink at lower curing temperatures also continue to be a priority. The range of exhibits at PaintExpo includes equipment for wet-painting and powder-coating, application systems and spray guns, wet and dry paints, automation and feeding technologies, cleaning and pretreatment, drying and hardening, environmental technology, compressed air systems, air supply and exhaust air purification, water treatment, recycling and disposal, accessories, measuring and testing technologies, quality assurance, paint stripping, contract coating, services and specialist literature. Downstream operations such as printing and packaging are also covered. This is also the range of exhibits that will be on show at the 3rd PaintExpo Eurasia, trade fair for industrial coating technology in Istanbul, Turkey, from 15th to 17th October 2015. The Eurasian offshoot is mutually organized by FairFair GmbH and Artkim Fuarcilik. For more information Web: www.paintexpo.de www.engrreview.com

Engineering for Chaos

Margaret Barrett, Product Marketing Manager, National Instruments

ngineering today is wildly different than the definition which influenced the simple but profound innovations of the profession’s pioneers. Edison is forever memorialized for the design of the incandescent bulb. Clearly the light bulb is a gift that has permeated all aspects of life since its invention. While no one would argue with its significance, this is the type of innovation that is now joins countless others as a data point in our engineering history that today’s innovators stand upon as they continue to fulfill the call on every engineer - improving everyday life. Modern engineers know that the breakthroughs of the past, profound as they are, transform into the stepping stones of current innovation. For instance, today, we not only think about the light bulb but how millions of lights can be coordinated to dazzle Times Square or provide light to millions of Mumbai residents. We’re celebrating the creation of the transistor by challenging ourselves to create processors the size of a coin. We’re thinking bigger and smaller at the same time. We’re not just asking how something works, but how many ways it can be used. We’re not only thinking of one component but how they all fit together. In short, the modern engineer is a system designer. Whether his or her primary responsibility is the creation of a single component destined for

60 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

incorporation into a larger system or the validation that a number of subsystems integrate together. Gone are the days of engineering in silos. The modern advancements already cited are the norm of today, which makes us think, what’s next? If the engineering triumphs that astonish us today are destined to be the stepping stones for tomorrow’s next “light bulb moment,” are we ready? As we march into an era of unprecedented potential for innovation, our traditional ways of training our students must evolve too. As we examine engineering education, it doesn’t seem to keep pace with the output of industry. Anyone who has graduated with an engineering degree glories in recounting the pain and triumph of mastering differential equations or finally grasping convolution. These are significant and necessary victories for any engineering student, but they are the same victories that our parents and grandparents who pursued engineering also enjoyed. Certainly students are in desperate need of this knowledge, but the stories of today’s students need to be different than the stories of their predecessors if education is going to keep pace with modern potential for engineering innovation. This isn’t to discount the past, but to push us towards the future. If future innovations are to draw on the stepping stones of the modern age, then system design is a given and something that students need to be exposed to just as readily as thermodynamics; however, system design can’t be described only in equations. It must be experienced. Experience is the only way to ever really create a system. National Instruments (NI) has long been a driver of system design in industry and a proponent of system design in the classroom. We believe that students need to “do engineering” not just theorize It. We believe in this so passionately that we have devoted our own R&D resources to ensuring that students are ready to not just appreciate what engineers have already discovered but to uncover engineering marvels we have yet to imagine. For over a decade NI has been providing innovative engineering tools designed specifically with the student user in mind. This approach enables students to not just learn but experience engineering fundamentals such as circuit design, sensor measurement, control theory and more. Already a staple in thousands of classrooms around the world, in 2013 we challenged ourselves to take our academic offering one step further with a portable embedded device designed for students. NI myRIO offers students industry-level performance married with a sofware experience suitable for their experience level as they learn.

product ever released by NI. Students around the world are beginning to incorporate myRIO into design projects previously thought impossible for undergraduate students. For instance, in Switzerland students have programmed myRIO to control an underwater robot, in the United States myRIO is being used to launch and land rockets with precision, and even to improve city infrastructure by eliminating potholes in roadways. myRIO is demanding that students begin to integrate critical theory to produce unprecedented designs. This challenges the idea that university is merely preparation for a career. It is the starting point of future engineering advancements. There is no need to wait until graduation. Using tools created specifically to learn the fundamentals and to design systems, engineering students can be engineering innovators the moment they step foot into hallowed classrooms and laboratories Today’s engineers are being asked to navigate and innovate in what can only be described as the technical madness of the modern world. Our students must be ready. It isn’t enough to arm them with the theory and equations that govern the world we’ve known. NI is committed to equipping them with the tools of discovery, allowing students to not just theorize engineering, but also experience it, so they are prepared to uncover a world we’re just now beginning to imagine.

Measurement and logging of pH and temperature at one-second intervals start as soon as the probe is connected. Measurements can be displayed with tabulated data or as a graph. The graph can be panned and zoomed with the iPad’s pinch-to-zoom technology for enhanced viewing. “Part of our mission as instrumentation designers is to utilize the latest advancements in technology,” said

Matthew Denicourt, Product Manager for Hanna Instruments. “The edgeblu and HALO pH electrodes do exactly that. As the Bluetooth® technology is commonly used, it is the improvement in low energy usage of Bluetooth 4.0 that has allowed us to take advantage and start using the technology with electro-analytical sensors. The use of sensors without being tethered to a meter is the future”. Hanna’s new edgeblu supplied with the HALO Bluetooth® pH electrode is available through any of our 44 international sales offices as of June 30th. Our offices provide Hanna customers with local service, support, and training, and are part of Hanna’s goal to provide an exceptional customer experience. iPad and Apple are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

Compressed Air Consumption Monitoring Make your Compressor save your money

Why compressed air? Virtually in every manufacturing facility in the world, for hundreds of industrial control applications, compressed air systems are used as power sources for tools and equipment. Most industrial facilities need some form of compressed air - from running a simple air tool to operating pneumatic controls. Leaks waste energy and money Compressed air is an advantageous but also rather costly energy source. An undetected hole or a leak in compressed air lines can cost a plant several thousand rupees per year. Predictive leak detection and repair will result in substantial cost savings and system efficiency. However, if these costs are not measured and accounted for separately then there is no motivation for the person responsible for the equipment to work towards cutting the costs of compressed air consumption. If the system’s compressed air consumption is recorded, however, there is greater motivation to detect leaks and reduce consumption. How are the leaks detected? Dividing a plant into zones is key to leak detection In order to provide predictive maintenance information, a plant should be first divided into zones based on the

92 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

number of fittings and potential leakage points. After sectioning a plant into smaller, more manageable zones, the meter is mounted in the supply line to the zone. The sensor will detect leakage areas based on the zone’s increase in air consumption over time or monitor air consumption when machines in the zone are shut down. After a leakage area is detected, leak repair can occur quickly. A compressed air flow meter will target a leakage area by zone so that plant personnel can focus on a specific, smaller area, rather than search an entire plant for air leaks. With the zone identified, maintenance can quickly pinpoint the exact leak location and repair the leak. Thus, a compressed air flow meter can monitor: • Leakage per individual machine • Leakage per zones in a plant • Consumption per machine cycle • Consumption per shift • Consumption per zones in a plant It can also verify leak repair and help in system improvements. How can Testo help? • We discuss with you the details and condition of your compressed air network. • We offer a suitable instrument for demo of your requirements (if you

want to start on a small scale) • We offer complete systems that can include monitoring of consumption - Dewpoint Transmitter for air quality and Compressed air flow meter for quantity, with or without PC communication for data analysis. In other words, we cater to your compressed air system needs with simple or complex smart solutions and make the burden of looking after your compressed air, easy to handle. Benefits: Not only the energy costs could be reduced by monitoring the compressed air, but the purchase of another compressor is no longer necessary & an existing compressor could be switched to standby. Installation and purchase of the compressed air meter is paid off in no time. While Testo Compressed Air Flow Meter 6440 monitors consumption of compressed air, Testo Dew Point Transmitter 6740 monitors quality of compressed air. Compressed air is used in all areas of industry. Humidity is normally undesirable because it can cause damage or impair the quality of the end product. Testo trace humidity sensors enable you to keep an eye on these processes. For more information, Website: www.testo.in

LAPP’s New European Headquarters Premises in Vaihingen-Möhringen

Thomas Bopp, Petra Kimmerle, Dr. Nils Schmid, Ursula Ida Lapp, Michael Föll, Werner Schwarz, Siegbert E. Lapp, Andreas Lapp (left to right) laying the foundation stone for the new Lapp European headquarters.

tuttgart-based Lapp Group is demonstrating its commitment to its home city by building Lapp’s new European headquarters at its premises in Vaihingen-Möhringen. The first stone was laid on, 30 June. “Today clearly marks the beginning of a new chapter in our company history. U.I. Lapp GmbH is a modern, dynamic company and we want to continue growing. The new headquarters will give us new opportunities to combine our strengths even more effectively,” explained Siegbert E Lapp, Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Lapp Holding AG. The importance of the Lapp Group to Stuttgart, the local region and Baden-Württemberg as a whole was also underlined by the presence of several guests of honour and speakers at the event. They included Dr Nils Schmid, Deputy Minister President and Minister for Finance and Economics for Baden-Württemberg, Michael Föll, first mayor of the city of Stuttgart, and Thomas Bopp, Chairman of Stuttgart’s regional council. “Family businesses like the Lapp Group are the backbone of the

98 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

Baden-Württemberg economy. They are deeply rooted in the region, innovative, and successful worldwide. We’re lucky to have Lapp in this country,” said Dr Nils Schmid. Meanwhile, Michael Föll highlighted the firm’s significance to the city of Stuttgart: “Today is an important day for Stuttgart as a top business location. The Lapp Group is a key employer in Stuttgart and a great advertisement for our beautiful city. Their European headquarters will help secure the future of Stuttgart. And for that I’m very grateful.” Thomas Bopp was also full of praise for the company: “Lapp combines business success and innovation with the traditional values of a family business – including social and political involvement and a strong affiliation with their home in the Stuttgart region. By laying the first stone today, the Lapp family is providing a further boost to the region. It’s a foundation for a great future.” As is customary, the Lapp family and their guests of honour inserted a time capsule into the natural stone foundation, in the presence of more than 100 guests. The copper box

contained a selection of contemporary items, including building designs, a newspaper, some coins, a Lapp brochure and an ÖLFLEX® cable. To make space for the new build, the Oskar Lapp Academy and its surrounding buildings were knocked down at the start of the year. The cleared area is now set to become home to the two wings that will form Lapp’s European headquarters – one wing with four floors, and another with six. A glass atrium will connect the two wings. The ground floor will be for general use, and will include the atrium, a large foyer, a reception, plus exhibition and conference space. The building’s floor space will total 8,340 square metres, and around 400 employees are expected to work there. “We’re completely on schedule with the construction work,” commented Petra Kimmerle, the project manager and head of Lapp Immobilien GmbH. In fact, work on the foundations is almost finished, and construction of the shell is set to start in the next few days. The building is expected to be completed by late 2016, at a total investment cost of around 20 million euros. The new building – which has been designed by Stuttgart-based architects Schwarz Architekten – also meets the latest environmental standards. In fact, the requirements of the German Energy Savings Act have been surpassed by 20 per cent. The building will be heated and cooled using geothermal energy.

New Fluke infrared camera lenses bring the temperature variances of even near-microscopic or far-distant objects into sharp focus New 25 micron macro and 4x telephoto pre-calibrated lenses expand infrared inspection capabilities

nfrared inspections often involve analyzing temperature variations on something extremely small or too far away to see the needed detail with standard lenses. Two new lenses for Fluke infrared cameras bring those worlds into sharper focus. The 25 micron macro lens can identify defects that might otherwise be too small to see on targets like PCB boards. The new 4x telephoto lens gets users a four times magnified view of a target at a distance, so targets like a high electrical line or a tall flare stack can be easily inspected. The two new lenses expand the Fluke portfolio of lenses for select infrared cameras of 320 x 240 resolution and under. The Fluke portfolio of lenses now includes standard, wide angle, macro, and 2x and 4x telephoto lenses all precisely engineered germanium optics. All these lenses are easily exchanged between compatible cameras without the need to send the lens and camera back to the factory for calibration, eliminating the cost and downtime caused by shipping and additional calibration. The 4x telephoto lens, which is compatible with Fluke® TiX560, TiX520, Ti400, Ti300, and Ti200 infrared cameras, helps identify problems in power utilities as small as a

100 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

failed splice on a high electrical line while keeping technicians safely on the ground. In applications like petrochemical and metals refinement where explosive atmospheres, extreme heat, or dangerous electrical levels make keeping a safe distance critical, the telephoto lens makes distant details more viewable while keeping workers at a safer distance. The 25 micron macro lens, which is compatible with Fluke TiX560 and TiX520 infrared cameras, enables technicians to distinguish thermal variations across distances smaller than a human hair, making it ideal for applications in electronics/PCB board R&D, or anything else requiring near-microscopic level infrared resolution. The LaserSharp® Auto Focus button is used to set the focus at the optimal distance for the lens, eliminating the need to move the focus wheel by tiny amounts to get accurate, in-focus images, speeding infrared measurements. “These new lenses represent Fluke’s continued drive to listen to and be involved with the application needs of customers,” said Chris Bohn, senior business unit manager for Fluke Thermography. “As technology changes and customers discover new applications for infrared technology, Fluke will continue to innovate in the area of infrared optics, as we have with our camera systems.” The new lenses will be available from Fluke infrared camera sales channels beginning June 15, 2015.

Ghana invites Indian power sector to explore 3665 mw opportunity

L- R Christopher Rockson DR Kwame Ampofo Mr Premal Lokhandwala Jeen Joshua and Sunil More

on. President of Ghana, Mr. John Manama has announced an ambitious programme of adding new power generation capacity of 3,665 MW over the next five years, thereby more than doubling the amount of existing capacity. Powerelec Ghana 2016, an Indo-Ghanian platform created by Fairact Exhibitions and Events LLP, Orange, Ghana and Verifair, Dubai is being hosted at Accra, Ghana in September 2016. Speaking at the occasion, Dr. Kwame Ampofo said, “We look forward to Indian players to assist Ghana in attaining self-sufficiency in power. Their experience within India will help them execute the projects at Ghana in a rapid and efficient manner. Besides traditional sources such as hydel and thermal, we are also very keen to tap alternate sources of power including solar and wind energy. Ghana’s recent reforms in industrial policy and foreign participation have made it a ideal place to do business.” Ghana has 108 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

been recognized by the World Bank’s Doing Business Report of 2014 as the “Best Place for Doing Business in the ECOWAS Region.” Ghana is among the fastest growing economies of Africa and grew 7.4% last year. Industrial plant, machinery or equipment and the parts thereof are exempted from customs import duty. It has investment laws which guarantee 100% transfer profits, dividends, etc. Mr. Chandrashekhar Bawankule appreciated Ghana’s desire to do business with Indian firms and reassured that it would be a mutually fruitful experience. Mr. Bawankule also explored avenues beyond power where Maharashtra can contribute to Ghana’s growth and looked forward to a successful conclusion of Powerelec Ghana 2016. Briefing the relevance of Powerelec Ghana 2016, Mr. Sunil More of FairAct mentioned that, “the event has the potential to act as a platform for all future exchange of opportunities between India and Ghana. There is a tremendous interest in the Power

sector for doing business with Ghana.” Over 100 companies have already confirmed to be a part of this event. Ghana currently suffers acute power shortage and produces only half of the power it needs. The power production is nearly equally divided between thermal and hydel sources. Besides power, Ghana offers good opportunity for investments in agriculture and agro- processing. The financial services and telecommunications sectors are fast gaining ground. Furthermore, the opportunities exist in the manufacturing, ICT, and tourism. Ghana has sizeable mineral deposits including gold and diamonds. The country is also emerging as a leading producing of oil in the region. Ghana Power Sector- demand forecast • Need US $ 4 billion investment in next 10 years in generation, transmission & distribution • 12% p.a increase in power demand. 60% increase predicted in urbanised population by 2020. • Plans to add 3665 MW in 5 years, doubling the existing capacity • Role of IIP: GE, Jacobsen Norway, VRA (Volta River Authority). Karpower International Turkey- 450 MW • 10% total energy to come from RE sources. Nzema Solar Plant to be commissioned in 2016 with 155 MW catering to 100,000 households • Ghana being the exporter of electricity to neighbouring countries, investment in T&D is also huge Sub-Saharan Africa: strong regional dynamics • IMF predicts that 4.5 % growth for this region.

Nigeria: 40000 MW power needed in the near future as against the current capacity of 7500 MW. US $ 10 billion capital needed. Nigerian Govt also plans to influx US 25 billion for usage of gas for power generation and export of power to West & Central Africa region. Super grid worth US $ 5 billion is in the pipeline Cote d’Ivoire: Member of WAPP, and exporting to Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso. 67% of current power comes from a Thermal Plant using natural gas. 25% from hydropower. 60% increase in natural gas supply expected in next 10 years. Cameroon: Second largest hydropower potential in Africa, after Congo with an estimated capacity of 12000 MW @ Sanaga basin. So far only 721 MW have been developed. Lot of other hydropower projects are in place with funding from African Development Bank. Chinese companies are also very active in Cameron Liberia: Poor infrastructure, expensive modern energy systems. US $ 1 billion needed for grid construction, incl 9000 km of MV distribution line with local LV distribution systems, transformers, and household connections. The current rehab work at Mount Coffee Hydro Power Station shall cost about US $ 300 million and the same shall add another 64 MW. 1. THE POWER SECTOR OF GHANA: Electricity production comes from two main sources (a) Hydro sources which provides about 56% of power and (b) Thermal sources which contribute the remaining 44%. Ghana’s demand for electricity has been steadily growing 110 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

over the years and currently reached a high rate of 10 – 14% per annum. This rapid growth translates, in physical terms, into about 200MW of capacity addition requirement every year. Peak load has also increased from about 900MW in 2003 to well over 1800MW today. (a) Institutional Setup and Policy: The sector is headed by the Ministry of Power that sets and coordinates all government policy with regard to issues pertaining to electricity production, transmission, distribution and final consumption. The supporting agencies under the Ministry of Power include the Power Generation Utilities (namely the Volta River Authority (VRA) and the Bui Dam Authority), the Transmission Utility and the Distribution Utilities (namely: Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCO)). The Power Sector is also regulated by two regulatory institutions, namely: the Energy Commission (which is the technical regulator of the power utilities and is also responsible for the issuance of licenses to them) and the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission or PURC (which is the economic regulator responsible for setting and approving tariffs for the provision of utility services. It also has the responsibility of protecting the interests of both consumers and utility service providers). The current structure of the sector was attained after the sector underwent reforms in the late 1990s. The reforms saw the unbundling of the, otherwise, vertically integrated and dominant, monopolistic government owned utility, the VRA into three separate entities – one for generation only, another for transmission only and the other for distribution only. Thus, after the reforms, the sector is now made up of: (a) a segment for power generation (including IPPs), (b) a segment for transmission, and (c) a segment for distribution (including both government owned and privately owned

distribution companies). To attract IPPs into the power industry (as is the ultimate objective of government), the independent transmission utility or grid company (GRIDCO) is directed by law (the Act of Parliament that established it) to operate an independent and open-access transmission grid that offers fair, transparent and non-discriminatory services, of prescribed standards and quality, to all qualified entities (National Electricity Grid Code). Apart from attracting private sector participation in the development and growth of the power industry, there were other goals that government simultaneously sought to achieve. These can be summarized as: • To increase the electricity generation capacity from the current 2,800MW to 5,000MW by 2016. • To become a net exporter of power in the shortest possible time. • To achieve universal access to electricity by 2020. In other words, to expand the current electricity penetration rate from 74% to 100% coverage by 2020. • To expand and modernize transmission and distribution infrastructure. • To achieve 80% gas based thermal generation by the end of 2015. • To increase the share of renewable energy resources to, at least, 10% in the electricity generation mix by 2020. • To diversify, further, the mix of sources of power generation. It is gratifying to note that the Private Sector is responding to this enabling environment created through the institutional restructuring and the power sector reform and are already taking advantage of the favorable regulatory environment and significantly contributing to the achievement of Government’s targets, as stated above.

Furthermore, the Energy Commission has, between 2014 and 2015 alone issued thirteen (13) provisional Thermal Power Generation Licenses to prospective IPPs covering a total production capacity of about 600MW. Five of these companies (Amandi Power Ltd, Rotan Power Ltd, Marinus Energy Limited, Gokay Group Ghana Ltd and Jacobsen Jelco Ghana Ltd) have actually been granted siting permits to move to site to start construction. (b) Regulatory Environment: These and many more private sector activities are intensively taking place in Ghana’s power industry because of the existence of a conducive and transparent licensing regime for prospective investors desiring to enter the sector. There are various codes of practice and legislative instruments developed to govern the sector, making the regulatory environment more facilitating and inviting. 2. OPPORTUNITIES IN THE POWER SECTOR The West African Power Pool (WAPP) broadens the scope and horizons of the opportunities that already abound in Ghana for the entry into the country’s power industry, for an almost limitless number of power generators and other industry players. The WAPP inter-connects the various individual national electricity grids of all the 15 countries that make up the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) into one huge transmission infrastructure for trading and marketing of electrical energy in the West African sub-region. Ghana has positioned itself to become the hub of power production and a net exporter of electricity through the WAPP. (a) Generation: For the generation segment, government wishes to make 114 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

thermal generation the dominant source of power, replacing hydro systems as the base load. The discovery and production of natural gas off the cost of Ghana in the Jubilee and other oil and gas fields has encouraged government to move more rapidly along this path secure stability and security in power generation. Again, to further diversify the sources power generation (beyond the duopoly of hydro and gas), government has firmly decided on the introduction of coal-based electricity production. Already a few companies have responded and have contacted us at the Energy Commission to start exploratory work coal-based power production in Ghana. Currently, the Government of Ghana is taking the issue of sustainable development and climate change very seriously. This position of government towards such global interests is manifest in the passage of the Renewable Energy Law of 2011 (Act 832) which provides for the development, management, utilization and adequate injection of renewable energy into the electricity production mix. In this regard, government is encouraging investors to turn their attention the local manufacture of components that will facilitate the rapid growth of renewable energy technologies in Ghana. I am happy to inform you that there already exists in Ghana a feed-in-tariff scheme that guarantees the sale of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. This scheme is made possible through: a. (The Renewable Energy Purchase Obligation, which requires a distribution utility or bulk customer to procure a specified percentage of its total purchace of electricity from renewable energy sources. b. The feed-in-tariff rate (set by the PURC) and c. A connection obligationto transmission and distribution facilities. Thus investors are invited into the areas of power generation from Wind Energy and Grid-connected Solar Power Plants

and Small Hydro Systems. For small hydro projects, available sites include: On the Black Volta River: Lanka (95MW); Koulbi (68MW); Ntereso (64MW); On the Oti River: Tanoso (56MW); Oti (90MW); On the Pra River: Awiasam (50MW) and Abatumesu (50MW); and other sites on other rivers such as the White Volta River, the Dayi River, etc. We also invite you to participate in the Special Presidential Initiative to install home solar systems on 200,000 roof-tops and amounting to 100 to 200MW or grid power by the end of 2016. (b) Transmission Investors are encouraged to invest in the National Transmission Infrastructure that includes: 1. 330kV backbone at Minima between Kintampo and Bolgatanga 2. Increasing capacity in the lines between Akosombo and Asiekpe 3. Increasing transformer capacities of the 330/161kV substations in the Western corridor 4. Expanding the capacity of the interconnections between Ghana and her neighboring countries under the WAPP for ease of international trade of power produced in Ghana. (c) Distribution Access to electricity is currently estimated at 74% and Government targets to achieve universal access to electricity by 2020. This means that government is seeking the involvement of the private sector in its Rural Electrification Programme and the Self Help Electrification Programme (SHEP), particularly under the PPP regime. Opportunities exist in: • Manufacture of Distribution Transformers and electrical switchgears • Manufacture of energy saving bulbs (compact fluorescent lamps, LED lamps) • Manufacture of energy efficient household appliances (refrigerators and deep freezers) For more information editor@divyamediaonline.com www.engrreview.com

Corrugated hose 2.0 : igus presents new ideas in energy supply With the e-skin and e-shell, discover new options for flexible and affordable cable guiding machine tools and medical technology through to sophisticated electronics manufacturing. Here, high speeds and accelerations are possible as they are required, for example, in pick-and-place applications. Because it is abrasion resistant, dust-proof and waterproof, it can also be used in clean room environments.

The e-shell: reinforcing existing system

e-skin can be used in the clean room for short unsupported lengths. (Source: igus GmbH)

n machinery and equipment construction, as well as in medical and automotive industries, corrugated hoses are an integral part of the energy supply system. At the Hannover Messe, the Cologne-based igus GmbH presents an entirely new idea: the e-skin. This easy-to-open hose can self-supporting contrast to comparable products, and can even be used in the clean room for short unsupported lengths. Existing corrugated hose systems can obtain a more defined movement with the new snap-on e-shell. Corrugated hoses are used in a variety of applications, especially where the demands on the energy supply system are not particularly high. The advantage is that they are light, versatile and can guide energy, media and data at very low costs. With the e-skin and e-shell, igus shows at the Hannover Messe the development potential hidden in this product and how it makes moving energy even easier.

The e-skin is a hose consisting of an upper and lower shell, which when clipped together is completely enclosed. Due to the simple and reusable opening mechanism, a trouble-free maintenance and inspection of cables is possible. igus also provides an additional tool with which the hose can be opened and closed quickly. In contrast to the conventional corrugated hose, the e-skin has a defined direction of movement and also can support itself. It can therefore be used for short unsupported lengths as a horizontal energy supply system. With its oval design the modular, expandable tube also offers more space than round corrugated hoses. Cables can be guided carefully using interior separation modules. Likewise, the e-skin can be tailored individually for each application by selecting different materials. The injection moulding process also allows for different colours, different even for the lower or upper part and even for small quantities. By virtue of the construction method and the high flexibility, the e-skin can be used in a variety of industries - from

In addition to the e-skin, igus offers a reinforcement for existing corrugated tube systems: the e-shell. The clip is easily attached to the normal corrugated hose, so that filling can be done at the top side of the joints of the corrugated hose. It is stabilised so that it can only move in one direction. Due to the guide elements on both sides, the corrugated hose has self supporting capability. If this solution is used for several corrugated hoses, they can be reliably guided side by side. Thanks to the defined minimum bending radius, the e-shell safely and reliably.protects the cables in the corrugated hose.

ABOUT IGUS: igus GmbH is a globally leading manufacturer of energy chain systems and polymer plain bearings.

5 Key elements to consider before embracing the industrial internet of things

ooking across industrial sectors worldwide, a relatively small percentage of companies are fully embracing the Industrial Internet of Things concept, but many have interest. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of those companies, here are five key points to consider. The Internet of Things (IoT) is getting a great deal of attention today. And the predictions for IoT growth figures are eye-catching, to say the least. For example, a recent report from IDC predicts that the worldwide IoT market will grow to $7.1 trillion by 2020. Despite all the potential promise of the IoT, some people remain skeptical about real-world use. Will we, after all, really need a connected toaster or refrigerator that link to the Internet? The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), however, is one area where connected devices are common, and some would argue have more practical benefits than the consumer aspect of IoT. Even with its clearer potential, before any serious IIoT plans are put into action, many questions remain to be answered.

Here are five key elements industrial organizations should consider before embarking on the path to IIoT initiatives: Legacy Equipment: Take inventory of automation devices such as PLCs, RTUs, robots and drives. How old are they? Do they need to be replaced or upgraded? Is your legacy equipment going to be able to communicate with newer equipment? How much time and money will this take? What cost-effective solutions can address your current infrastructure? Protocols/Communication: Along with the equipment,

132 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

what

protocols are being used by the devices in your network? How many are in use? Do they need to be converted in order to get the devices to communicate with others in your environment? What type of media (cabling) are you using in your locations? Fiber-optic cable? Serial (RS-232/422/485)? Copper? Location/Environment: Where is your facility located? If your equipment is in a remote location, can your devices be monitored via cellular networks? Are 3G or 4G/LTE networks available to reach your site? If not, are broadband or fiber-based networks available? Also, within the building itself, what is the overall environment? Is it hot and dusty or kept at a controlled temperature? Is there lots of vibration? Are you using industrial-grade equipment that is designed with wide environmental ratings and industry certifications? Security: According to a recent Business Insider Intelligence survey, 39 percent of executive respondents indicated that privacy and security are the most significant barriers to IoT investment. Security was the most commonly cited concern among respondents. While this survey applies to all items in IoT, security should be an important concern for IIoT as well. How can sensitive data be protected when it is collected and transferred? What security measures are in place for the systems that collect, monitor, process and store IIoT data? Are there any regulations regarding the protection of data and information that you need to be aware of? Staff: As more technology-based devices are added to your network, do you have IT

staff on hand, as well as other employees who are tech savvy and can help with installation and monitoring on the factory floor? Is software or remote monitoring needed to keep tabs on devices in other locations? At Red Lion Controls, we offer industrial automation and networking solutions that help organizations address these questions when making the move to IIoT. With support for over 300 different industrial protocols, our automation products allow a range of different machines in heterogeneous environments to talk to each other. These offerings, coupled with Ethernet switches and cellular M2M, enable the reliable flow of data anytime, anywhere across almost any medium, device or protocol. This data can then be easily monitored by operators and engineers, giving organizations a communications foundation for IIoT deployment. With the right equipment, systems and people in place, organizations can easily turn IIoT hype into reality and use real-time data visibility to drive business advantage. Red Lion Controls is a US manufacturer of industrial automation and networking solutions that help organizations connect, monitor and control assets worldwide.

ROLLON: Managing robotic handling

systems in automated warehouses

ew perspectives in automation applied to the medical sector, with automated warehouses using technology from Rollon Group. Linear guides give these rooms a new look. Today, they are far from being static, manually managed archives lacking the speed and efficiency to meet the severe standards that have been applied. The newly designed rooms stand out for their performance levels and functionality because they are controlled centrally by a computer system, which simplifies the operatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daily work and reduces delivery times while optimizing logistic management. However, if these systems are to work properly, it is necessary to use the right components. For the past forty years, Rollon has studied several solutions to favor quality handling systems in several sectors: medical, aeronautics, industrial machinery, packaging, railways and special vehicles. A particularly significant solution, emblematic due to its ability to resolve critical handling problems in different applications, is what Rollon has perfected to move the robot that picks and places containers of test tubes for blood tests inside a refrigerated warehouse.

REQUIREMENTS They needed a smooth, precise translation movement that did not jerk to allow the robot to quickly reach and pick up test tubes positioned on different warehouse shelves. Speeds up to 1.5 m/s, and also with stressful cycles, high precision and dynamics (accelerations up to 1.2 m/s2), combined with a load of around

400 kg from the weight of the robot itself and the respective motor.

THE PROBLEM The robot would have to move along a network of perpendicular axes, reaching different shelves positioned along the warehouse corridors. But how can we favor the passage from the main corridor to the many perpendicular paths available that result from the arrangement of the shelving without compromising movement quality? In these passages, in fact, the robot must be able to change direction by 90Â° and adopt a perpendicular trajectory. This is a challenging situation, further complicated by the possible irregularity of the surfaces where the rails are set and the need for them to slide easily to prevent blocks and premature wear of components. It is difficult that this type of handling, with the passage of a robot from one track to a perpendicular track, can be managed with common recirculating ball bearing rails, which are very precise but require very precise alignments. At the same time, configuring a sliding system with wheels or bearings set on the rails, which could manage the passage more easily, would not be able to guarantee the necessary stability and precision that the robot needs for placing objects. We needed the right proper solution for handling operations, along with an impeccable configuration for the entire system.

THE SOLUTION Rollon decide to use its own Compact Rail products to manage the movements of the robot. These are linear rails with bearings, with the slider that slides inside the rail profile. Rails have hardened and ground raceways, available with different profiles, to absorb possible

134 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

problems resulting from surface misalignment. The passage from X axis to Y axis was managed by mounting another pair of sliders on the carriage that sustains and moves the robot, and mounting two sections of rails positioned perpendicularly to the first set. When the carriage reaches the lateral positions, it unhooks from the main axis and the two additional sliders enter into the perpendicular rails and guide the robot along the Y axis. The size of the bearings in Compact Rail products make it possible to manage the passage of the sliders from the rail sections on the carriage to the perpendicular rail tracks (Y axis) with relative ease. To facilitate their task, in addition to a scrupulous control in the selection and precision of rail profiles, bevels were used to reduce the possibility of criticalities during the passage. T and U profiles were used to solve problems caused by irregularity of surfaces on which rails were mounted. T profiles have shaped raceways that guide the motion of the sliding elements, and U profiles have flat raceways, which allow them to absorb any misalignments without compromising the level of precision. The section of the Compact Rail used by Rollon is 63 mm, which produce optimal performance even with high dynamics and heavy loads. If needed, for this type of application, Rollon also offers Compact Rail products with certified NFS nickel treatments to guarantee corrosion resistance and prevent dispersion of particles. This type of treatment is quite common in the food and medical industries. For more information Web: www.rollonindia.in www.engrreview.com

Simulation software brings big changes to cable industry By: Dexter Johnson

he Prysmian Group is a world leader in energy and telecom cables. The company’s energy sector alone is made up of a wide range of products such as high-voltage cables for terrestrial and submarine applications; these include both alternating-current (HVAC) and direct-current (HVDC) systems. One important aspect to consider when designing a power transmission system is its ability to deliver the prescribed amount of current in steadystate conditions without exceeding the maximum permissible operating temperature. To address this point, a detailed thermal model of the system must be built taking into account many variables: the structure of the cables and internal sources of electric losses, the geometry of the installation, the installation environment (e.g., soil, water, forced or buoyant air), the ambient temperature, external loads due to solar radiation, and

www.engrreview.com

the system’s proximity to other structures. Prior to using multiphysics simulation, Prysmian and others in the cable industry employed calculation methods provided by international standards, which work pretty well for those installations in which the cables are in an undisturbed thermal condition (typically, underground). But nowadays it is becoming common to have such systems installed in or crossing regions where, for example, the new cable system is in the vicinity of existing structures such as other cables that cross the cable route. Prysmian selected COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software to build computer models that combine the structure of each cable, that of the power transmission system, the load conditions, and the conditions in the external environment to obtain realistic and reliable simulations. “COMSOL is able to solve these kinds

of problems because we can build a parametric model to optimize the geometry, the laying of the cables, and we can include the physics needed to account for the convection with the air,” explains Massimo Bechis, Modeling and Simulation Specialist at Prysmian. “We can do extensive transient analyses to account for daily variations in solar irradiation and ambient temperature conditions. We can account for current load changes instead of considering constant operating conditions. This allows us to satisfy requests to consider transient conditions due to load changes. So multiphysics simulation really solves these kinds of problems that were very difficult or even impossible to do before.” Prior to using multiphysics simulation, many studies were done using mathematical tools developed internally by the company, based on simplified models. By leveraging the know-how gained from the internally developed code when transitioning to new tools, Bechis is able to model at a much higher level of detail and 140 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

with much greater accuracy for this kind of system. With COMSOL, the company has taken a big step forward and improved the level of the services it can provide to both designers and customers. “Now we have a lot of requests from colleagues because, for example, they know COMSOL is available to help them analyze and solve many thermal, electromagnetic, and structural problems,” Bechis says. Of course, prior to using simulation tools, Prysmian never had a cable fail. But in order to achieve that perfect record, a large design margin was built into every cable and system because of the calculation procedures adopted. “Now we are able to optimize the structure of our cables and still meet the specifications,” says Bechis. “We can also explain why we use a certain amount of material in a certain layer and show how we came to our decisions based on the modeling.” With simulation, it is possible to model an impact test on a medium-voltage cable. The ability to simulate this kind of test makes it

possible to optimize the thickness and the kind of materials used in building the external layers of cables. Instead of performing tests in laboratories, Prysmian can now do a lot of tests on the computer. Once the optimum design is obtained by simulation, the cable is manufactured, and routine field tests are performed in the laboratory. Physical tests of actual prototypes are still performed, but the prototypes are much closer to the final design, and overall development time is therefore considerably shortened. These tests verify the mechanical behavior of the cables and systems so that the Prysmian team knows they can rely on their models. One of the clearest indications of the success of the new modeling tools is that Bechis and his colleagues have been able to respond to a lot of customer requests that specifically ask that there be simulation in addition to the standards that are normally used. “We are now able to provide a better service,” says Bechis. “We are saving money. We have improved procedures for designing our cables and power transmission systems. We have an additional and powerful way to respond to requests from clients.”

In the six legs, maxon DC motors provide the robot with a flexible gait. slightly uneven terrain and overcomes smaller obstacles, such as steps, without difficulty.

hen Hector carefully negotiates an obstacle course, it has an elegance that hardly any other robot can rival. The Biomechatronics research group of Bielefeld University, led by Prof. Dr. Axel Schneider, developed this six-legged walking robot using a stick insect as a model. For the design, the insect’s measurements were increased by a factor of about 20. The total length of the robot is roughly 90 cm – a giant stick insect. The project’s goal is to better understand the gait of these insects and make the underlying coordination principles usable for technical systems. The research team also wants to investigate fundamental concepts for controlling elastically actuated robotic systems. The extremely light exoskeleton consists of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). All drive parts and the connections between the leg segments were designed and fabricated in-house in Bielefeld. They are made of aluminum alloy. The unique features of this robot, which weighs 12 kg, are the multitude of sensors with which it is equipped and its biologically inspired, decentralized control principle. With its specially designed drives and sensors, it can adapt to the ground conditions while walking. Hector is currently capable of negotiating

One leg – three maxon motors Each leg of the walking robot has three joints, so that the movements of 18 joints have to be controlled simultaneously. Each joint is equipped with a brushless maxon EC 45 flat motor. These 50 W drives are custom units without a lateral connection board. The 18 leg joints are controlled using biologically inspired algorithms. For this purpose, the drive electronics and their controls are embedded in the drives. To make the drives elastic, special elastomer couplings, custom-designed for this purpose, were integrated directly into the drives. The research team needed a motor to deliver high torque while being small and lightweight. “The motors also had to be as short as possible, because the resulting length of the overall drive limits the leg’s range of motion, among other things. This is why we chose the EC 45 flat 50 W,” explains research team member Jan Paskarbeit, who

Hector is able to walk independently and responds to obstacles. “You can’t deny that even an insect is intelligent, in a very basic way. Similarly, Hector also displays simple intelligent behavior. One of many important properties of intelligent behavior is, for example, the ability to plan ahead. Initial versions of a more advanced robot control are currently being tested on the system, with the purpose of giving the robot simple planning capabilities – making it more intelligent, so to speak,” says Paskarbeit. Until 2017, the walking robot will be equipped with additional abilities over the course of a collaborative project hosted by the Bielefeldbased Center of Excellence for Cognitive Interaction Technology.

Five-axis CMM inspection lets “good times roll” in QC department at small engine plant Scanning probes speed form-data collection and feedback to machining cells, reduce CMM fixturing and cut probe calibration time from hours to minutes at Kawasaki’s Maryville, MO plant. Increased measurement throughput and flexibility allow faster feedback to manufacturing and R&D department, while scanning CMMs may ultimately eliminate inspection systems for gears and cam lift.

awasaki encourages motorcycle enthusiasts to “let the good times roll,” but good times of another sort are rolling at the company’s Maryville, MO small engine plant, where two 5-axis scanning probe systems are slashing CMM inspection and probe calibration times, and speeding up QC feedback for machining of small engine components. The 5-axis Renishaw REVO systems, installed on Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex 121210 CMMs, replaced two PH10 articulating heads using SP25 scanning probes on traditional 3-axis CMMs. The REVO-equipped CMMs have cut inspection times by half or more on scanning intensive applications, eliminated the need for custom probe configurations, cut probe calibration times from six to seven hours to about 45 minutes, and added new capability to collect large amounts of form measurement data, improving part quality. Of primary importance, the REVO systems have greatly increased inspection throughput, data quality and flexibility of the QC department, enhancing its value as a strategic support asset to both manufacturing and R&D. The Kawasaki Production System Kawasaki’s 800,000 square-foot Maryville plant, opened in 1989, produces single and twin-cylinder air-cooled or watercooled engines, 1000 cc or smaller, for commercial and consumer lawnmower OEMs, as well as for a sister plant that manufactures ATVs and Mule™ utility vehicles. Operations at Maryville include aluminum die-casting, plastic injection molding, extensive amounts of machining, painting and assembly. All engines – approximately 500,000 per year – are

run-off before shipping as well. “We use the Kawasaki Production System (KPS),” said JC Watts, Quality Control Technical Group Supervisor at the Maryville plant. “Our quality and engineering requirements are comparable to the best in the automotive industry, though our manufacturing is focused on lower volumes of many different kinds of products.” The plant has 50 machining lines, typically arranged in a U-cell pattern with start and end machines across from each other. “Primarily, it’s one-piece production with machining lines running a part through multiple processes at a high rate,” Watts explained. Kawasaki utilizes automation in many die cast and some machining operations, accomplished through the integration of Kawasaki robots. On one of the crankcase lines, robots load raw materials and unload finished parts that are placed into inventory for assembly to draw upon. Machined parts include aluminum, cast iron and steel. “We’re running similar tolerances that automotive powertrain uses for high-end products, and there are probably four or five critical processes for our aluminum parts and 15 for the steel parts,” Watts added. It is not uncommon to find tolerances “in single digits in microns” for form, and 0.05 mm true position. The QC lab is responsible for inspecting 125 different mass-produced parts, as well as vendor parts and those produced for engineering development. The environmentally controlled lab is located adjacent to the machining lines, and Continue on page no.148

Continued from page no.146 parts intended for routine inspection are delivered on carts or via train (an electric vehicle towing several trolley carts). Critical components may be hand delivered for priority inspection during a line changeover or if an operator suspects a problem. 5-axis scanning advantage “When I started here, we had a couple of 3-axis CMMs with PH10 articulating heads and SP25 probes, and another CMM with a fixed probe head,” Watts explained. “We were frustrated with having to make probe configurations and being limited to what we could do even with the articulated heads. We had so many different probe configurations that calibration times of six to seven hours took a bite out of our inspection throughput, too. We wanted to do better than what the industry considered the norm, so we looked at several options and the 5-axis REVO system appeared to be the fastest and most flexible available. It was the best fit for our requirements.” Kawasaki bought a new Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex 121210 in 2009 with the REVO system installed from the factory, and retrofitted an identical machine in 2010, after the first machine was up and running with all the part programs. The REVO 5-axis scanning probe head can collect up to 6000 data points/sec. It is engineered for high-speed precision measurement of contoured surfaces and complex geometries requiring high-volume data collection to validate fit and form with high accuracy. It uses two rotary axes, one in the vertical plane and one in the horizontal, for infinite rotation and positioning. Five-axis software drives the measuring head and synchronizes its motion with the linear axes of the CMM. Look-ahead algorithms drive the probe path and CMM in coordinated continuous motion. The head adapts position while measuring on the move, maintaining stylus tip contact with changing contours at scanning speeds of up to 500 mm/ sec. “Though our SP25s were scanning probes, we were doing 95

percent touch probing because scanning was too slow with a 3-axis CMM,” Watts explained. “Our cylinder and crank bores are probably the best examples of where we believed touch probing was inadequate. To accurately collect enough data points to measure the geometry of a bore 80 to 100 mm in diameter and 150 mm in length, the SP25 probe took so long we limited those inspections to machine set up or special requests from our design department. Now on every crank case we measure, the REVO does a spiral scan of bores and the system outputs the values to software. We also send a graph of the data points to our network that can be used by anyone in QC, engineering or production, and it really helps troubleshoot problems. You can VISUALIZE the problem. What would take 3-4 minutes with an SP25, we’re measuring in 10 seconds with the REVO.” The REVO scanning heads have all but eliminated the need for touch probing. Now 95 percent of inspections utilize scanning, with no “time penalty” as before, allowing Kawasaki to collect so much data that it challenges the speed of computers doing the analysis. The REVO probe can also do “head touch” probing or be used for traditional machine-touch probing when the situation calls for touches. “With scanning inspections, our production and engineering people have a lot more confidence that the data is valid,” Watts added. “With touch probing it is easy to get one speck of dirt that causes an out-of-round condition if you’re only sampling seven or eight points. It can throw the location of that circle off. We have specific documented examples of where there were flatness errors we would not have caught with touch probing, and cylinder bore geometries that would not have been caught with touch probing because of the amount of data sampled with the touch probe. We still caught these problems before they left the plant, but the parts were scrap. The REVO scanning capability allows us to catch form errors much more quickly, without a time penalty on our inspections. It has definitely made us more proactive in catching quality problems early in the game.” Fewer probe configurations, more flexibility With REVO, the Maryville operation now has two probe configurations that measure all of its mass production parts, reserving custom probes in a changing rack for a few special applications. Special configurations for vendor parts have also been eliminated because the infinite positioning angles of REVO allow measuring of a part without special fixturing or consideration of which probe to use. With so few probes, calibration time has Continue on page no.150

Continued from page no.148 dropped to around 46 minutes. Now QC technicians monitor the calibration instead of calibrating every shift. “We are now able to measure all our mass production parts with just two probe configurations,” said Watts. “We were able to eliminate the large ball stylus configurations because of the large approach angle the REVO creates between the stylus and the work piece. During scanning the REVO maintains the approach angle which allows a large cylindrical feature such as a cylinder bore to be measured with the same stylus used for measuring a 5mm bore, with no chance of shanking the stylus.” Flexibility of the REVO system has also proven to be a time-saver for Kawasaki. “We can measure any part on either machine with a limited amount of fixturing and no special calibrations,” said Watts. “We measure all our parts on three types of fixturing. The REVO probe orients itself to the part after it’s initially aligned. The utilization of special fixtures has almost been eliminated, without concerns of measurement error due to part alignment.” Kawasaki programs all of its inspection routines in-house using Mitutoyo’s Mcosmos 3.1 software. The upgrade to REVO instigated a shift to parametric and modular programming of inspection routines through in-house development of coding. This allows a program to be used for a part family. “We might have 30 different crankshafts, for example, but because everyone has the same features, only in a different size or location, we can use the same inspection program to measure all the parts,” Watts stated. “That’s one of the big advantages we gained.” Infinite angles of the REVO system make it simple to create parametric programs because there is no concern about the stylus interfering with a part feature, due to size or orientation of the feature. The probe automatically aligns normal to the feature being measured, simplifying programming.

150 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

Faster inspection, better data from QC to R&D Watts says the transition from 3-axis to 5-axis programming is not difficult, and a programmer with limited ability can still program REVO inspections as 3-axis. However, when it comes to optimizing speed of inspection, it is critical to use head motion as much as possible. “This allows you to scan parts the quickest, without inducing measurement error,” he added. “REVO opens up a lot of possibilities, with few limitations, so speed gains are obtainable for both the higher and lower skilled programmers.” Inspection results may be relayed to the machining lines manually or they can be accessed locally by line operators over a computer network. “Some of our inspection reports supply offsets directly back to the machining centers coordinate system; this allows the CNC operator to read the offset adjustment right off the report, allowing no misinterpretation of what offsets the operator needs to input,” Watts explained. “We take advantage of some of the ‘best fit’ algorithms and work with our production engineers, especially on parts that require more complex algorithms to get the adjustment right, and to utilize multiple process adjustments simultaneously. We had limited ability to do this before the REVO; the REVO allowed us to utilize parametric programming, which in turn allowed us to expand our capability across the board more easily.” Five-axis CMM scanning has been a game-changer for QC at the Maryville plant in terms of speed, data quality, and inspection capacity, according to Watts. “We’ve enjoyed big gains from having two machines that are completely redundant, so if one machine breaks or is down for calibration, it’s no problem to measure critical parts on the other machine. That’s a big advantage in the QC lab, because we were the ones who, in a pinch, had to get the large part on the small CMM, or the part requiring the odd angle probe on the machine that didn’t have it. We used to get requests from R&D to measure certain geometries, and it was next to impossible to achieve in the time allotted. Now we can provide the data much quicker and, being scanned data, our people have greater confidence in it. This new flexibility, the reduced fixturing, form measurement, the parametric programming – these are all collateral advantages, in addition to the raw inspection speed.” The Maryville facility has run more than 50,000 parts through the two REVO equipped CMMs, and Watts indicated there are plans to expand the use of the REVO system to gear inspection and cam lift if it proves feasible. “We’ve developed our own algorithm and sub-routine in our software for cam lift, and, that’s something that would have been more difficult to do without the REVO system due to the angle the probe requires to measure the lift on the lobes.” For more information Web: www.renishaw.co.in www.engrreview.com

Mechanized cleaning enhances productivity, cost efficiency & wellness By U.K. Arun, General Manager-Sales, Roots Multiclean Ltd.

asic cleaning is essential for personal health, hygiene and safety – be it at home, at work or any other place. Particularly at work, cleaning ensures the safety of employees’ health. Unclean surroundings infecting employees lead to absenteeism, manpower loss and ultimately affect the performance of the company. In terms of economics, cleaning enhances asset life.

wooden, granite, etc., and if we are not able to maintain it properly, it is a waste of money. In ideal cleaning, mechanical action and chemical action can deliver 80% of the required efficiency. Mechanization is thus crucial for cleaning. The floors itself, say wooden floors, require special cleaning which cannot be achieved through mop or a broom; it needs special machines. Similarly, granite or marble needs a certain amount of pressure and requires the crystallization process of cleaning. Mechanization also increases sustainability. By using the right equipment of cleaning, we can get cleaner air. If we use a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filtration, the exhaust air is absolutely cleaner air. Similarly, with the use of right maintenance regime with the right equipment, the life of the asset, say floors, is enhanced. Chemical, water consumption and carbon emission too get reduced. One major example of scientific cleaning which enhances the life of the product is carpet cleaning. Carpets in use ‘collect’ dust, food particles, etc. Dust could be hard particles that cut carpet piles and food particles encourage bacterial growth resulting in stains and foul smell.

Automation in sheet metal cutting and welding The paper examines welding and cutting process trends in the sheet metal and plates used in various industries like automobiles, infrastructure, ship building, aerospace industries, wind tower manufacturing etc. Productivity gains in arc welding are reviewed, and the increasing use of laser cutting and welding, as well as laser-arc hybrid welding, particularly in Europe, is discussed and explained. Some friction technologies are already widely adopted, but they could make more impact with further development. Electron beam welding could also be used with economic benefit in some situations, but as with all non-arc processes, it will only be adopted if significant gains in productivity and cost reduction can be created to justify the more specialist welding equipment required. Many productivity improvements can come from non-welding activities in the fabrication process.

1. INTRODUCTION Leadership in manufacturing (welding and Cutting) can come from addressing the factors of QUALITY, COST, PRODUCTIVITY, SAFETY and CONTINUAL UPGRADATION OF TECHNOLOGY. Inflection in Metal Fabrication Technology has taken place in the Manual / Semi-Automatic Welding Power Sources - (Digital control inverters), Welding Automation - (Developments in HNG SAW, HNG MIG, Tandem MIG / SAW, Friction Stir, Electron Beam, Saddle Welding Automation, Robotics, Laser spot welding, Hot wire TIG, Orbital systems, automation with hybrid welding systems like Plasma â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MIG, Laser - MIG) and major advances in the cutting processes (Precision Plasma, Laser Cutting, Water-jet cutting etc.). This paper reviews current trends in arc welding and cutting processes used for Sheet metal processing and will discuss some of the newer processes which are beginning to replace arc welding for such steels, or have potential to do so in the next 10 years. 2. ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATION a. Consistency in weld result - Error Proofing: A welding supervisor can limit the amount of changes an operator can make during a program,

preventing him from accessing the override screen through the use of a key switch or password. Multiple parameters for multiple weld-run: In addition to the ability to adjust parameters between weld passes, operators of microprocessor-based welding machines can also program changes to weld parameters during each pass, which offers distinct advantages for certain applications. Store parameter for sharing on other machines with same applications: A microprocessor-based power source can store programmed welding procedures on data cards. This allows the operator to easily transfer programs developed on one machine to other machines being used either in the same facility doing the same type of work. Quality control: Microprocessor-based machines can immediately alert the operator if weld parameters fall outside pre-selected limits. Parameters can be directly to a quality-control computer program for storage or statistical analysis. This eliminates time-consuming radiography in many applications. Date storage and records: It is now Continue on page no.172 www.engrreview.com

Continued from page no.170 very easy to display a set of welding parameters and operator or supervisor can observe the welding procedure. Moreover, the data can be printed in the form of reports, which can be presented to the customer as quality assurance procedure. f. Quicker Weld-Fault diagnostics lower repair time: The system can be stopped if the measured values cross a certain preset variation limit. It is possible to stop the machine in out-of-tolerance conditions. This enables the operator to perform timely functions and take necessary steps to prevent the deposit of faulty welds. 3. TANDEM MIG AND ROBOTIC WELDING Significant improvements in productivity are nowadays hard to gain in this mature process. In gas-shielded MIG/ MAG processes, the growth of tubular wire over solid wire is still slow despite the deposition and bead shape benefits of the former although tubular wire usage is higher in the USA and Japan compared to other parts of the world. The lower price of solid filler wire, particularly in Europe, is still a dominant factor that continues to favour their use. Self-shielded cored wires are still widely used in the USA but less so in Europe because of the fall-off in fabrication of large offshore installations. Care is always needed in selecting selfshielded wires if weld metal toughness is a critical design factor.

Resists undercut Bead profile control Lowers production costs Increases productivity

The greatest potential for productivity improvements comes from using robots. Japan still leads the work in new robot installations per annum, but generally robot take-up for welding is still majorly for the automobile sectors. Robots are being employed in situations where product repetition and/or tonnage throughput are high, combined with relatively standardised designs. Robot profile cutting is increasing in usage and in Japan, some building frames are now being welded on robot lines and agile robots are also used for site welding building column joints at height. The applications most suited to robot use involve butt and fillet welds in the fabrication of beams, welding of stiffeners to beams, welding of end plates and the assembly of panels or decking. A likely trend is to ‘take robots to the work’ and use them for large part and sub-assembly manufacture in cells which house autonomous vehicular robots. These robots, mounted on moving platforms are manoeuvred around the parts to be welded and are capable of all-positional welding using the MAG process with tubular wires, (Fig.2). 4.NARROW GAP SAW In submerged arc welding, multi-wire, iron powder additions and narrow gaps

Advantages of TANDEM MIG: Exceptional welding speeds High weld metal deposition rate Superior weld quality: • Reduced heat input • Resists burn-through on thin materials • Maintains low spatter levels • Produces good penetration on thick materials • Improves bead wetting at weld toes 172 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

are common ways to increase productivity. However, the use of tubular wires is increasing in popularity and can offer better weld quality compared to solid wires in some situations, e.g. when submerged arc welding of primed plate. In building and bridge construction MIG/ MAG welding is more suited to automation and is now beginning to replace submerged arc welding, reducing costs and distortion significantly. 5 . LASER – IN CUTTING AND WELDING Low power CO 2 lasers were originally developed in the late 60s for cutting and welding operations, while Nd: YAG lasers entered the market only in the early 1980s. In the shipbuilding and off-road vehicle sectors, higher power lasers (3-10kW CO 2 and 2-4kW Nd:YAG) have become popular in the last decade because their use brings more precision in dimensional control, and greater accuracy in assembly, as well as the additional advantages of high cutting and welding speeds, and cleaner working. Laser cutting is now an essential route to accurate assembly in steel fabrication. Parts can be cut to a precision of ±0.3mm in 10 metres compared to ±1-2mm for conventional plasma cutting. Sub assemblies can then be arc welded to tolerances of a few millimetres in 15 metres, with the same lasers being used for marking and hole drilling on the cutting table. Even though arc welding is still regularly used for assembly of laser cut parts, cost reductions can be dramatic because of the improved accuracy of assembly and the potential for eliminating distortion correction and other processing operations downstream from welding. Direct costs have been cut by up to 50% using lasers for cutting in many shipyards, and this shows the extent of benefit which could follow from more widespread use of laser cutting in building, bridge and public infrastructure construction.

in Aachen in the late 90s using high power CO 2 lasers in combination with one or two MAG torches directed into the same weld pool in series with the laser. Already one shipyard in Germany has such a system in production on a panel line, the process replacing submerged arc welding. The advantages of moving from simple arc processes to a hybrid laser-arc system include higher joint completion rates and associated control of distortion. As noted above, laser systems alone are usually not sufficient to cope with variations in joint gap in large structures. However, where plates are thin, it is possible to produce stiffened panels successfully by laser welding. 7. FRICTION TECHNOLOGIES There have been many exciting developments in friction welding and probably more process innovation in the last decade than in the previous 40 years when friction welding first came on the scene. In the context of metal joining and construction, friction stud, radial friction and friction stir welding are good examples of more recent approaches, with friction stud already being used in the production of sandwich structures comprising steel skins and a concrete core and for welding attachments in high volume such as shear connectors and reinforcing bars to end plates. Attachment of anodes under water to offshore installations using steel studs and electrical connections to railway lines are other

applications of friction stud welding. APPLICATIONS Shipbuilding and Offshore, Aerospace, Automotive, Railway Rolling Stock, Fabrication 8. ELECTRON BEAM TECHNOLOGY There have been several key improvements in this process in the last decade which have made EB welding increasingly attractive for large-scale fabrication of steel structures such as buildings and bridges. The two main areas of improvement are in gun development and reduced pressure technology.

Continued from page no.174 Reduced pressure EB welding using chamber pressures of around 1mbar has been another major step forward in simplifying EB welding operations. The beam shape and beam penetration at, say 5mbar, is identical to that at the more conventional pressure for EB welding of 5 x 10 -3 mbar. This reduced pressure option does away with the need for large vacuum chambers and worries about leaks and seals. Simple mechanical pumps and local seals are sufficient to achieve ~1 mbar. These systems are also more tolerant to fluctuations in working vacuum pressure,

gun to work distance and work-piece cleanliness. 9. WIND TOWER MANUFACTURING – SPECIALIZED CUTTING AND WELDING 176 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

PROCESS APPLICATIONS Wind Tower fabrication employs extremely precision applications of metal cutting and welding processes like gas cutting triple torch, with Single pass three torch cutting Automatic setup which provides High accuracy, Capacitive height adjustment, Infinite rotation of cutting head, Automatic angle adjustment 20 - 50° (Option for 30 - 60°). In addition, plasma cutting system is used with Automatic Setup, Highest Accuracy, and Bevel angle adjustment: +/- 52°, Initial height setting with tactile sensor, Cutting height adjustment via automatic arc voltage sensing process. Precision High end CNC Plasma cutting process is utilized with high degree of automation needed to guarantee consistent quality. Programming software, Numerical control and Automatic rotating bevel tools are used to dispense with manual tasks. Automated SAW systems with Twin Wire, Tandem, Tandem – Twin and Multi – wire systems are used along with customized welding heads, wire feed systems, joint tracking systems, Column and Booms, TELBO systems, Rotators and Positioners. In addition, Tractors and Fit – up units are all used for this application and also for many other welding applications. 10. CONCLUDING REMARKS Where will engineering construction be in five years time? Productivity improvements can come from many different areas in the total fabrication process, e.g. general design, detailed design, contract drawings, CNC instructions, cutting and profiling, welding, inspection, finishing etc. It needs to be

realised that optimising the welding process and procedure in isolation may have only a small effect on overall productivity. As an example, fabricators in the bridge and building sector continue to make big improvements in reducing the cost per tonne of steel fabricated by focussing on efficiency improvements in non-welding operations. These non-welding areas will continue to receive much attention in the next few years. For example, 3D solid modelling is expected to be at the heart of the improvement process enabling virtual assembly, direct instruction of cutting and welding machines, computer modelling of metal processing and welding operations and optimising of welding sequences. In addition automated inspection and data gathering will increase in usage to give more comprehensive Quality Assurance. Productivity improvements could also come from greater standardisation in steel specifications and in joint details and from modularisation of large structures to reduce the time spent on site fabrication and erection. Use of new welding processes and an increased use of automation and robots will take place slowly and gradually, only being justified where the introduction creates significant gains in productivity or cost reduction. As such, these changes can be expected particularly in situations where skilled labour is short, where welding cells can be kept fully occupied or where customised, made to order components are needed.

Dock Leveler Gandhi Automations Pvt Ltd - India’s No.1 Entrance Automation and Loading Bay Equipment Company. This widely recognized position has been achieved over years of hard work, innovation, commitment to quality and reliable customer service. The company is also proud to be certified to ISO 9001 : 2008. Since its inception in 1996 we have been manufacturing, importing, distributing and installing products that are problem free and easy to operate. The company offers complete logistics solutions by providing Dock Levelers, Dock Shelters, Sectional Overhead Doors and Dock Houses. Electro-hydraulic, mechanical and air-powered Dock Levelers offered by Gandhi Automations are not only “a bridge for connecting a vehicle”, but also facilitate fast, smooth and safe transition by compensating the difference in heights between the loading bay and the vehicle. This contributes to minimizing energy used and savings on www.engrreview.com

heating and chilling costs resulting in maintaining the quality of the transported goods. Dock Levelers offered by Gandhi Automations are designed as per EN 1398 standard for the most demanding loading and unloading operations. Efficient loading & unloading the goods: The importance of efficient loading the goods has always been evident, and it has increased over the years, essentially for two reasons: the lesser availability and the higher cost of manpower. Consequently lesser qualified manpower is being utilised which leads to damage in the goods. The cost of loading and unloading the goods can be calculated precisely and is exactly definable, which allows for a scientific approach to find out the investment that goes

into the process. Gandhi Automations has always designed solutions based on such scientific approach and feedback from clients. The Dock Levelers offered by the company ensure loading and unloading with lesser effort and minimal cost. It is possible to load and unload your products in a safe way and in the process obtain remarkable energy savings. The loading bay remains with the Dock Leveler in rest position and the Sectional Overhead Door closed, until the vehicle is positioned. The driver drives back centring to the Dock Shelter and stops the vehicle the moment it gets in contact with the bumpers. The Sectional Overhead Door is then opened only when the vehicle is positioned, brakes applied and engines shut off .This eliminates the exit of hot air, intake of cold air (or the opposite in hot and inside conditioned places) and intake of exhausting gases in the warehouse. After the Sectional Overhead Door opens, the lip of the Dock Leveler connects to the truck bed for loading / unloading to take place.

At the end of the loading/ unloading the Dock Leveler is put in rest position and the Sectional Overhead Door is closed, without moving the vehicle. The vehicle then departs at the end of the process. Following are the two types of Dock Levelers a) Radius Lip Dock Levelers Radius Lip Dock Levelers allow the dock to connect with the truck bed, thus making it possible to drive directly on and off with forklift trucks etc. The self-cleaning lip hinging system does not retain rubbish with automatic endof-run, so as to keep the 25 mm security distance between the folded lip and structure as per EN 1398 & EN 349. b) Telescopic Lip Dock Levelers Telescopic Lip Dock Levelers are ideal for connecting vehicles unable to drive near dock i.e. sea containers, side loading railway wagons etc. These types can be supplied with a lip extending up to 1 m. Gandhi Automation’s Dock Levelers are equipped with the most secure safety devices and accessories.

Versatile rotary position sensor

Hall effect position sensor from BEI Sensors features a 50mm mounting hole spacing for drop-in compatibility with existing installations. A 1.5 Series AMP Superseal connector comes standard and the well-sealed, IP67 and IP69K package uses non-contacting technology, making this sensor exceptionally rugged and ideal for applications in harsh environments. With an extended operating life of up to 35 million cycles and a temperature rating from -40° to 125°C, the 9970 has been designed to perform in tough conditions typical of off highway vehicles. This heavy-duty design allows for precise motion control

feedback in a variety of wash-down and dirty and dusty applications. Hall effect sensor comes in two standard output configurations of 0-5V ratiometric or 4-20mA for ease of specification and use across applications. Unlike comparable sensors, the 9970’s ability to travel the full 360 degrees allows it to be used over a large range of rotary motion. This versatile position sensor also features overvoltage protection, preventing possible damage from installation errors. To limit radio interference, the 9970’s design is highly resistant to electromagnetic interference, up to 200V/m, about the strength of a microwave.

216 | JULY 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

Jay’s Mezzanine Floors Jay’s Mezzanine floors enable the working height of a space to be utilised to its full potential by doubling or trebling the surface area. They can be designed as storage areas, changing rooms or offices, among other concepts. Installation of a mezzanine floor is the best way of optimising available space. They can occupy the whole space or just the highest parts of the room. The mezzanine design must take into account the access-ways, work system, the product and handling methods so that such elements as stairs, handrails & loading and unloading zones can be planned. Platform & goods lifts can also be incorporated to facilitate the movement of goods from one level to another. The design & system of the UBe series is different from the SiG & PLiC series mezzanines. ‘Jay’ has developed this system in order to provide a faster delivery. This system uses the standard uprights & beams usually used for pallet racking or shelving systems. The UBe-Series

mezzanines are also produced to provide the customers with the flexibility to completely dismantle and re-install at different locations. However, these systems are usually different in construction than the ‘SiG’ & ‘PLiC’ series. Here the column grid size cannot be altered. These are medium to low cost solutions, and also have a highly aesthetic appeal. Mezzanine floors find applications in all industry segments including Retail, Offices, Storage, Warehousing, Production areas, etc. Besides Mezzanine Floors, Jay offers a wide spectrum of products which includes Lift Trucks, Dock Leveller, Scissors & Maintenance Platforms, Lifting Platforms, Drum Handling Equipment & Miscellaneous Special Equipment.
