DD51-E of Elesa+Ganter: The direct drive electronic position indicator with battery power supply The device gives the possibility of reading the absolute or incremental positioning of a machine component

T

he family of ELESA position indicators is enhanced by a new introduction that completes and perfects an already wide range, for many decades capable of presenting the market with extremely different analogue, digital, and analogue-digital solutions.

With the range of direct drive position indicators, ELESA is in fact able to offer components that can be fitted directly on the control shaft and that are connected to the machine through a back position referring pin, setting itself apart - as sort of operation - from other gravitational and fixed reaction position indicators.

DD51-E, electronic and with battery power supply, joins its predecessors, the DD50, DD51, and DD52R. Its size makes it interchangeable with the mechanical version DD51; the 5-digit display, on the other hand, reminds of the DD52R. It is indeed thanks to the wide LCD display with 5 digits of 8.00 mm height that DD51-E ensures

26 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

excellent readability even at a certain distance and from different viewing angles; the window in transparent technopolymer moulded over the case protects the display against accidental shocks.

The ultrasonic welding between the base and the case avoids dust and liquid penetration, ensuring a high protection class (IP65 or IP67); this makes DD51-E suitable for applications requiring frequent washing

cycles, even with water jets. The bushing and the pressure screw for the assembly to the shaft are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, to ensure high corrosion resistance.

What makes the DD51-E position indicator “one item for all needs” are the programmable parameters.

Through the three function keys, it is possible to select the different available functions (absolute or incremental mode, conversion of the unit of measure, - mm/inches for linear measurements, degrees for angular measurements -, selection of the origin of the absolute counter, selection of the offset value).

It is also possible to program many parameters, including: reading after one revolution of the control shaft, maximum rotation speed, counting direction, display orientation and resolution (number of decimal digits displayed).

Completing the profile of the innovative direct drive electronic position indicator offered by ELESA, is a further characteristic: the long duration (over 5 years) of the internal lithium battery which can be easily replaced without the disassembly of the indicator from the shaft and without the loss of the configured parameters.

New plastic guide through eeps energy chains safely and easily on track The guidelite plus enables users to make savings on purchase and installation

T

he motion plastics specialist igus has launched a new modular guide trough system, which is entirely made of tribo-optimised plastic: guidelite plus. The system is very light, easy to install, cost effective and is also suitable for use in harsh environments.

Guide troughs, usually made from aluminium or steel, ensure correct operation and a long service life for energy chains in gliding applications with long travels.

The new guidelite plus from igus is a guide trough that is made entirely of plastic and is easy to assemble. Individual elements made of abrasion-resistant highperformance plastic can be connected together very quickly and without tools by hand due to a locking mechanism specially designed for this system. The low weight of the plastic parts helps with installation, but is also advantageous where lightweight solutions are needed. A special expansion joint, which is provided in every second link of the trough elements, guarantees flexibility and adaptability especially in case of large temperature variations. Thus, the product can also be used without restrictions in outdoor applications.

Plastic for harsh application areas The plastic guidelite plus guide trough is also suitable for applications where metallic alternatives are very expensive or cannot be used due to aggressive chemicals or risk of corrosion.

For these applications, the guidelite plus can be manufactured from a special plastic that is more resistant to chemicals. Thereby new applications are possible in the galvanising

sector or fertilizer production, where expensive stainless steel solutions were previously required. But even in other dynamic uses, in which long travels have to operate reliably without failure or maintenance at a low speed of up to 1 m/s, the guidelite plus is an alternative that saves time and cost. In purchasing alone, double digit percentage savings are possible compared to aluminium or stainless steel troughs.

The plastic guide trough is available for energy chains with outer heights of 35, 50 and 64 millimetres.

The use of guidelite plus is economical in both new installations and retrofitting of existing plants. Much cheaper than a comparable stainless steel or aluminium trough, the user saves twice, in the purchase as well as the

TUV Rheinland certifies Air India SATS, Bengaluru for Warehouse Security Air India SATS’ Air Freight Terminal at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru has been certified with TAPA FSR 2014 Class A Certification

Chitradeep Banerjee (2nd form Left) and M Bhaskar (Center) of TUV Rheinland India along with Senior officials of Air India SATS.

T

ÜV Rheinland India, a subsidiary of TÜV Rheinland Group, Germany, announced that Air India SATS’ Air Freight Terminal at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru has been certified with TAPA FSR 2014 Class A certification for warehouse security, replacing the earlier FSR 2011 Class A certification. TUV Rheinland is a leader in testing, inspection, certification and training, providing technical services worldwide.

Air India SATS (Air India SATS Airport Services Pvt. Ltd.) is a premier airport services company. With this new certification by TUV Rheinland India, Air India SATS, Bengaluru has become the first Air Cargo Terminal Operator in India to have a warehouse facility certified for “TAPA FSR 2014 Class A”.

TAPA -Transported Asset Protection Association, is a unique forum that unites global manufacturers, logistics providers, freight carriers, law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders with the common aim of reducing losses from national and international supply chains. FSR (Facility Security

58 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

Requirements) is established to ensure the safe and secure in-transit storage and warehousing of any TAPA members’ assets throughout the world. Being a scalable standard, the Classification A warehouse is considered to be the highest degree of warehouse security in comparison with the other Class B or Class C facility. The certification not only portrays Air India SATS’ confidence ensuring increased security of warehousing and handling but also provides a high level of assurance to their customers with a policy of increased customer satisfaction by meeting customer’s security expectations for their goods and products.

The certification will also help Air India SATS to maintain a competitive edge and reduced insurance liability exposure to the company. TAPA FSR 2014 Class A Certification is in sync with other Security Management Systems and is relatively more difficult and practical. In comparison with the earlier FSR 2011 Class A standard where the passing criteria is based on scoring and averaging, the new standard focuses on

absolute conformance and compliance with each and every clause thus making it more stringent, accurate and diminishing the potential risk and threat to the maximum. Mr. Chitradeep Banerjee, the Auditor for this certification, who also happens to be the all India Product Head of TAPA and the AGM-System & Industry for TUV Rheinland India said, “After the first Gap Analysis Audit, challenges were evidenced with certain areas requiring special attention.

Remarkably, before the final certification audit, the competent team took lot of efforts in bridging the gaps, giving a very positive message that nothing is impossible if you have the right attitude.

The tenacity and the commitment of the top management was highly appreciable and it was a very well deserved certification for Air India SATS. I believe that they will surely sustain & maintain this high security standard at all levels in the days to come.”

Mr. M. Bhaskar, Director, TUV Rheinland India said, “These days supply chain & the logistics service providers face a major challenge in ensuring safety for cargo movement in warehouses.

These companies also incur a huge cost, liability and are prone to legal risk in case of any theft or losses. Our TAPA certification ensures the minimization of cargo losses from the supply chain through the development and application of global security standards. We are confident that, as a TAPA certified company, Air India SATS will be able to demonstrate to its customers and investors that it uses industry-respected best practices, having an edge over competition.”

Over the years, test and measurement (T&M) equipment has grown in significance, reflecting the critical role it plays in any industry, right from research and development (R&D) to production and services. Despite this, the T&M industry has somehow remained out of the spotlight in India. However, the growing emphasis on the quality of products and services delivered, as well as the need for accuracy and timely results, is driving the growth of the T&M equipment market in India. The increasing R&D activity across various industries is also expected to further augment the growth of the Indian T&M market

Q. Please highlight Global perspective of test & measurement technology industry and what is the differentiating factor?

The Engineering test and measurement

64 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

equipment market is expected to witness a significant growth. Some of the major market drivers include the increasing demand for electronic products and the rising need for test and measurement equipment for use in semiconductor devices. The high cost of production and increasing competition among vendors are some of the major challenges faced by the market.

One of the emerging trends in the Global Test and Measurement Equipment market is the wireless connectivity of test and measurement equipment. Fluke Connect, a technology that not only links handheld instruments to smartphones but also lets iOS 7 or Android 4.4 phones share measurement data anywhere in the world through an app.

Q. What are the key technological trends that are driving test & measurement technology industry?

The Indian industry is witnessing a key trend of increased quality-consciousness, lean processes and inclination towards energy savings.

The realization that energy saved can be turned into profit is growing with time. Also, increased awareness to reduce environmental impact, for example, through controlled industrial emissions, is expected to have an impact on the test equipment market.

Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), under the Ministry of Power, India recently introduced Perform Achieve Trade (PAT) scheme with an aim to reduce energy consumption in industries across India. BEE has notified every industry falling under this scheme about their energy efficiency targets. To implement this scheme, every industry has to appoint an energy audit cell to keep a track on its progress towards energy efficiency targets.

Several industries are now

achieving compliance to their industry-specific norms. This in-turn calls for the need of more accurate, precise and robust test & measuring technology. In other developed countries, several industry norms are already in place and industries comply with the same. However, in India, it is just the beginning.

Q. According to you what is the forecast for the test & measurement technology industry?

With IIP at 3 to 4 % & GDP at about 7%, the Test and measurement industry in India is expected to grow at an average rate of 10 to 12% per annum.

Key factors for the growth will be increased investment in R&D, increased quality-consciousness, lean processes and inclination towards energy savings.

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

The key factor affecting our growth over last 18 ~ 24 months is surely the overall macro-economic situation in the country. In general, the factors which remain integral to us at any up or downturns of the economy are: • Heavy influx of imports, especially low-value products • Misperception about the use of T&M instruments • Lack of qualified, trained maintenance personal • Price-sensitive customers and hence price constraints • High initial investments

Q. What are the issues you need to address that are related to test & measurement industry?

Key issues related to Test and Measurement industry that need to be addressed include • Regulations on the quality of power in industry • Awareness and Implementation of electrical safety standards

Q. What are suggestions and advise to Government of India and State Governments Industrial growth and growth oriented industrial policies in the Country? Which are the points, clauses of industrial policies may get adopted in Indian Industrial policies?

GST is crucial and ease of doing business needs better scoring. Also, the money lying with the government like SAD, Tax Dues, Deposits etc could be released partially with a condition to invest the same in a short span.

This will work in below two ways for the industrial developments: • Government willingness to ease business • Helps in removing the liquidity crunch Q. A total of Rs 98,000 crore has been approved by the Cabinet for development of 100 smart cities and rejuvenation of 500 others. How important will be a role of Power & Automation Sector in building Smart Cities?

I believe, Power and Automation will not play significant role in comparison to the construction, IT or non-conventional energy etc. Still there will be a great scope for Power & Automation Sector too.

Importance of performance, reliability and servicing of marine pumps Fluid management in the maritime sector Today’s shipping vessels operate with a constant flow of diverse fluids moving inside and through different machinery and systems for numerous purposes.

Virtually every major machine and/or operation on-board a ship is supported by a pump in fact, few systems or auxiliary machinery could run without them.

Pumps that work as hard as you do For over 85 years, ARO® has designed and manufactured industrial pumps for some of the world’s most extreme operating environments, including

the marine industry. ARO pumps are designed to meet the most critical needs of maritime operators guaranteeing performance and reliability when you need it. ARO pumps are manufactured to strict industry standards and are covered by a five-year warranty for quick replacement of certain non-consumable parts such as castings. Built to take on a wide range of marine applications, ARO pumps offer lasting performance value and easily configure with existing on-board systems. Known worldwide, ARO maintains an extensive global supplier network that spans every major port for access to parts and technical support wherever the user is located.

Marine fluid transfer applications Fluid management is central to all marine vessels. ARO air-operated diaphragm (AOD) pumps, centrifugal and piston pumps are used in numerous on-board applications including: • Dewatering Systems

84 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

• Deck washing and jet washing pumps for low and high-pressure • cleaning applications.

• Fuel transfer pumps move different forms of on-board fuel from one repository to another.

• Chemical transfer and dispensing.

• Lubrication to prevent engine and gearbox seizing.

Cargo tank cleaning Cargo tank cleaning is routinely done in preparation for new cargo. Assigned to the deck crew, tank cleaning is typically done following cargo discharge.

Safety measures include a detailed cleaning/ purging work plan, the use of proper protective apparel and positive air-pressure monitoring during the cleaning operation. Tank cleaning systems may be portable or fixed. Portable machines are connected by hose to a deck water-main and introduced into the tank through a tank cleaning hatch.

systems. Both of these applications require precise fluid or media dosing.

Over- or under-dosing may cause corrosion and other damage. Air-operated diaphragm pumps offer highly-reliable dispensing functionality and can handle both viscous and non-viscous fluids. ARO AOD Electronic Interface pumps can be equipped with the ARO Controller, a closedloop system designed to control multiple pumps, customize production lines and remotely monitor fluid transfer to - ensure precise dosing with greater efficiency and less downtime. Benefits of a closed-loop controller include livetime leak detection, automatic pump performance monitoring and emergency shutdown.

WASTE WATER Ships produce two types of wastewater: • Gray wastewater from sinks, laundries and showers.

• Black wastewater containing sewage or water used in medical procedures.

IMO law bans the discharge of gray or black wastewater into the open sea.

Several types of equipment installed in the engine room are used in treating wastewater prior to the proper disposal of the processed water and remaining sludge. These may be complete systems containing the tanks, pumps and piping to move waste water through the treatment process and achieve environmentally acceptable standards prior to discharge. Pumps used in processing wastewater are self-priming and have no seal to securely pump waste materials. They are designed to handle viscous and abrasive media as well as solids. ARO offers a variety of pumps designed to tackle the complex challenge of wastewater.

With leak-tight bolted construction and a corrosion-resistant center body, these pumps feature an unbalanced major air valve to help eliminate valve centering and pump stall-out even under low air inlet pressures. Air-operated diaphragm pumps are ideal for wastewater systems. This type of positive displacement pump is tough enough to withstand submersion and continuous flow rates inherent in this type of application. Ideal for low- to mid-range flow rates up to 350 gallons per minute AOD pumps produce enough back pressure, up to 250 psi, to move highly viscous fluids and sludge.

Pump selection and maintenance The purchase price of a pump is a rather small piece of the total cost-of-ownership. Calculate downtime as well as labor and parts/servicing costs against the large number of pumps aboard a ship and the users is dealing with a sizeable financial commitment. By ordering from a reputable and reliable pump manufacturer such as ARO, you’re assured lasting performance and lower lifetime operating costs. After decades of working with customers to solve some of the most complex fluid handling challenges in demanding and often extreme conditions, ARO pumps are recognized above all for reliability and ease-of-use. When it comes to keeping ships moving on the open sea, you can trust an ARO pump to get the job done.

ROLLON: Linear solutions for railway applications

B

orn in 1975, Rollon is an international company with headquarters in Italy and a worldwide presence specialised in the production of linear guides, telescopic guides and linear axes. The deep experience in designing solutions for high demanding applications of linear motion in industrial machines and automation sectors increased Rollon’s mechanical know how. The know how has then been applied to several industries such as railway, aerospace, medical, logistics, special vehicles and furniture with successful applications in different fields.

Railway is one of the most important

94 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

industries for Rollon applications and the solutions coming from the Italian company are used all over the world in several applications regarding the trains and, generally, the railway industry. On October 2015 Rollon will attend to the International Railway Equipment Exhibition (IREE) in New Delhi, introducing its solutions dedicated to Railway applications, such as door openings, seat movement, removal of battery packs and underfloor air conditioning systems. Behind every application is an efficient and reliable product which responds to the needs of the manufacturer. Every solution is carefully selected on the basis of the specific needs and main critical areas of the application. Moreover, where necessary, Rollon designs made-to-order products for its customers. Such an ability is the strength of this Italian company, thanks to its internal R&D department. www.engrreview.com

AUTOMATION » Tech Trends

Linear and telescopic rails from Rollon are used in a wide range of applications in railway industry.

Rollon’s offering is based on the prevention of risks, thanks to products designed according to the specific needs of each application, capable of drastically reducing the impact of such events. Vibrations, weather conditions, intensive use and corrosion are the factors contributing to malfunction in mechanical parts. Rollon linear guides for the railway sector are designed and made specifically to manage these factors and prevent the potential related risks.

Reliability and efficiency are ensured by the strict certified quality controls to which every component produced in the factories is subjected, based on the UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 standards.

Lastly, all Rollon components used in applications for different types of trains are crash tested with deceleration of up to 5 g.

Rollon applications and products for the railway sector Rollon has developed products that are suitable for numerous applications inside, outside and in the space below the train.

Inside the train, we find Rollon guides in the movement of hallway and toilet doors. Here, the EASYSLIDE www.engrreview.com

series is used since it ensures excellent sliding quality, thanks to the ball cage system, and a long life, thanks to induction-hardened raceways. For toilet doors with a curved trajectory, Rollon has specially devised the CURVILINE series of curved roller pin guides capable of non-linear motion with a fixed or variable radius.

Rollon guides are even mounted on tables and seats. The COMPACT RAIL roller pin series is the best choice in terms of the quietness and sliding quality it guarantees, thanks to the grinding process undergone by the guides’ raceway. Their compactness is suitable for even small spaces. It is available in different sizes: 18mm, 28mm, 35mm, 43mm, 63mm with a max. operating speed of 9 m/s and roller pins lubricated for life.

External applications are the access doors and the automatic retractable step that bridges the gap between the train and the platform. In this case, linear guides need to be able to withstand heavy loads, with minimum bending and maximum resistance to shocks, vibrations, intensive use, corrosion and wear. Rollon offers two main solutions, both with hardened raceways: the ASN telescopic rail series and the SNK recirculating ball bearing linear guides.

ENGINEERING REVIEW | SEPTEMBER 2015 | 95

AUTOMATION » Tech Trends

Compact Rail is a linear guide with rollers that provides smooth and silent movement. It has hardened and ground raceways and it can manage significative misalignment.

Moreover, for applications involving the expulsion of the external door unit, Rollon recommends a pair of guides from the COMPACT RAIL series, capable of absorbing any misalignment issues. In all these cases, Rollon guides are tested to endure for over 2 million cycles, thus responding to the requirements of even the most demanding players in the sector.

Lastly, for the underfloor segment, telescopic guides are used to remove the battery pack and air conditioning equipment. In both cases, continuous vibrations and shocks have a negative effect on the removal components. The Rollon telescopic rail guides in the DSS series are the most suited to

Anticorrosion treatment Corrosion caused by humidity and aggressive agents like salt is one of the main issues affecting mechanical railway components. Rollon has tested and proven the effectiveness of several types of anti-corrosion treatments by using the salt spray fog test in accordance with the UN/ EN ISO 9227 standard.

The test guide rails are placed in a test chamber and sprayed by means of a nozzle for the entire duration of the test with a sodium chloride solution (5%) with pH 6.5 and a temperature of 35°C. The quality of the surface protection is measured according to the time of the test and the resistance to corrosion.

RollonAloy is an anti-corrosion surface treatment that ensures the functionality and reliability of linear systems, reducing maintenance costs. Guides treated with RollonAloy resist up to 720 hours in salt spray fog, way beyond the expectations of even the most demanding manufacturers.

Distance - Speed - Precision - Small PowerProx MultiTask photoelectric proximity sensors: The fantastic four

T

he new standard for reliable detection with an extended sensing range cannot be measured with a conventional yardstick. After all, with sensing ranges from 5 cm to 3.8 m, no object goes undetected by the PowerProx MultiTask photoelectric sensor. To achieve this, not only has SICK packed all the advantages of time-of-flight technology into the world’s smallest housing, they have also increased detection speed. Thanks to PowerProx, now even objects being conveyed at high speed, small and flat objects, and jet black and shiny objects can be reliably detected over a high sensing range. The photoelectric sensor also provides stable detection results over a large detection angle and is immune to ambient light. The small PowerProx MultiTask photoelectric sensor housing combines time-of-flight technology, eye safety at the level of laser class 1, outstanding optics, and fast signal processing. The MultiTask photoelectric sensor is adjusted by means of a potentiometer or teach-in button. There are versions available with either one or two separately adjustable switching thresholds, depending on the application. IO-Link can be used to define up to eight switching points and to make use of the smart sensor functions. The VISTAL® housing ensures the device is sufficiently rugged.

PowerProx Distance for reliable detection with unrivaled range Thanks to its extended sensing range of up to 3.8 m and two separately adjustable switching points, the PowerProx Distance is the ideal solution for occupied bay and

98 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

clearance detection, pallet handling, and collision protection in storage and conveyor technology. An extended sensing range is also essential for a system which is used to protect doors and gates. Photoelectric retro-reflective sensors and through-beam photoelectric sensors always require a reflector or a receiver system, while PowerProx works by monitoring the returned light from the target, with reflectors and receivers not being required. With its extended sensing range of up to 3.8 m and high ambient light immunity, this photoelectric proximity sensor is therefore ideal for protecting doors and gates.

PowerProx Speed for high speed detection Quick response times, high switching frequencies, and reliable object detection at extended sensing ranges of up to 2.5 m make the PowerProx Speed variant ideal for use in the packaging industry or in any application that relies on detection at top speed, such as high-speed counting. Accurate edge detection for wooden boards is one of many other applications made possible by the quick response time, high switching frequency and high-precision laser beam.

PowerProx Precision for detection of the smallest of objects and object properties With a sensing range of up to 1.8 m, PowerProx Precision detects even the smallest of objects, cutouts and recesses from a considerable distance. It handles changing materials and surfaces with ease, even in front of shiny or reflective backgrounds,

which is ideal for quality control within the automobile and components industry, or for checking the pick-up point on a robot within handling and assembly.

PowerProx Small for a great sensing range in a small package .

MultiTask photoelectric sensors: Specialists in efficient automation Resolving special applications without any special effort – that’s the philosophy that SICK has been pursuing with its innovative MultiTask photoelectric sensor cluster.

The solutions can be characterized both as further developments of existing opto-electronic sensor designs offering even greater safety, reliability and strength, as well as being of a type that, through a new detection or evaluation approach, influences implementation and machine design – that is, that represents an evolutionary paradigm shift. In this way, the MultiTask family deals with a range of application types, ensuring compact, elegant and economically efficient solutions, often extending well beyond their original industry sector. SICK is one of the world’s leading producers of sensors and sensor solutions for industrial applications. Founded in 1946 by Dr.-Ing. e. h. Erwin Sick, the company with headquarters in Waldkirch im Breisgau near Freiburg ranks among the technological market leaders. With more than 50 subsidiaries and equity investments as well as numerous representative offices, SICK maintains a presence around the globe.

In the 2014 fiscal year, SICK had about 7,000 employees worldwide and achieved Group sales of EUR 1,099.8 million.

Absolute feedback systems for efficient drives The BML series from Balluff offers rugged, precise and quick absolute position and angle measurement systems, which are ideal for installation or direct integration into drive and positioning systems. The new, magnetically encoded absolute position and angle measurement systems with Permagnetﾂｮ nonius technology close a gap in the segment of compact, integrative, absolute measurement systems with IP 67 housing for external installation. As an open kit for full integration, they now have the option of being used in rotary applications as well. Using these systems, the formats, strokes and end positions of axes can be adjusted automatically, quickly and reliably.

T

he new absolute encoder disk can be integrated easily into motors and actuators as a highly precise, absolute feedback solution.

Because of this, it is an efficient alternative to conventional magnetic or optical solutions for accurate control of motors and drives. The low space requirement for the solution for rotary applications provides another eye-catching quality; it is just 12 - 20 mm in length and 30 mm in diameter depending on the design.

A fully integrated, single窶田hip

solution is the core of the magnetic scanning and signal generation process.

The position data is generated in real time and made available in absolute form using interfaces typical in drive engineering, SSI or bidirectional BiSS C. Incremental SIN/COS analog signals and ABZ signals are also on hand for use.

The evaluation kit from Balluff is also brand new to the portfolio. It includes a perpendicularly magnetized Permagnetﾂｮ absolute angle measurement system with high system accuracy. Just like the encoder kit, it offers a variety of serial (absolute) and incremental interfaces for connection to many different closed-loop systems. It is easy to use.

Once adapted to the drive, the user can run required system tests to derive a customized, optimized solution using the BiSS-USB adapter and provided evaluation software.

Increasing efficiency through safety standards Safety standards being written today not only provide guidance to help reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, but also improve productivity in the workplace. The ANSI/ASSE Z244.1-2003 (R2008)1 & ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2006 2 standards are two examples of how standards promote safe work environment as well as make it possible for companies to increase productivity.

Dan Henman Vice President - Marketing & Sales - NAO dan.henman@rosscontrols.com

T

he ANSI/ASSE Z244.1- 2003 (R2008) control of hazardous energy lockout/tagout and alternative methods standard addresses the need of manufacturers to reduce the time involved in performing safety procedures, while increasing the degree of safety provided. In the past, a routine task of clearing a simple jam could require a worker to spend considerable time commuting to different locations on a machine to perform lockout on multiple energy sources.

In the time-equals-money equation, this results in operators taking short-cuts. These short-cuts could include missing some lockout points and not locking out all the energy sources connected to the machine. Since lockout points are there to help prevent the equipment from being energised, neglecting one or more of the lockout tasks could very likely increase the risk of worker injury or equipment damage. The present ANSI/ASSE Z244.1-2003 (R2008) standard addresses this issue by allowing (in certain situations) reducing the number of required lockout locations to one, which can be located near the operator.

When properly implemented, such a single-point lockout can provide an excellent safety solution while minimising machine downtime occasioned by a lockout event. To accomplish these dual goals, the system must use a dedicated control system with a dual-channel, low-voltage lockable switch, dual control-reliable relays and control-reliable components such as a ROSS DM2 series double valve, for example. The term used for reducing the number of lockout locations to one is called single-point lockout (SPLO). This alternative method may only be used for tasks that are part of the normal production and operation of the machine, and a risk assessment must be done for a given task to determine if the task qualifies for SPLO. Why is SPLO so popular? It reduces the chance that an operator may miss or skip locking out energy source when he/she is rushed to lockout the machine. Providing better assurance that lockouts

108 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

www.engrreview.com

AUTOMATION » Tech Trends

will be properly used increases the safety for the operator and equipment. In addition, SPLO reduces the time required to put the machine into a safe mode.

Time = money One company using Ross’ DM2 series valve was able to reduce lockout time by more than four minutes on a particular machine that averaged eight jams per shift! That is 32-minute more of uptime per shift, or an hour and thirty-six minutes per day. Amazingly, this adds up to a full 8-hour shift of additional production time over a five-day period. The ANSI/ PMMI B155.1-2006 safety requirements for packaging machinery and packaging-related converting machinery standard address safety requirements for packaging machinery and packaging-related converting machinery. The standard now requires that safety shut-off and exhaust valves, which shut off and release pressure from the various systems during times of maintenance, need to be:

L-O-X

● lockable only in the off position ● easy to operate ● equipped with an exhaust port having exhaust capacity equal to or greater than the capacity of the supply port, and ● equipped with a visible pressure indicator

In some situations, there can be a false perception that the air has been quickly and totally dissipated when a shut-off and exhaust valve gets shut off, even when the valve only has a small bleed vent for an exhaust port as is the case with most ball valves used in most common packaging applications. The requirement of having a full exhaust port helps avoid this situation. For example, when exhausting one cubic foot of 100 psig compressed air, a fully ported one-inch valve will dump the air in 1.2 seconds as opposed to a one-inch ball valve with a vented exhaust, which will exhaust over a period of four minutes. An operator might not realise that it could take so long to exhaust the system and might begin the task at hand before the air is fully exhausted. Having a valve with a full-size exhaust port will help avoid this situation. In addition to the increased level of safety, the time-equals-money equation begs the question: What is the value to minimising downtime for a particular task (by 99.5 per cent in this example)? The ROSS L-O-X valve complies with all the requirements of ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2006 including the full-size exhaust port, while the majority of vented ball valves do not. Standards promote safety and uptime. Safety + uptime in production = money, an equation that meets with ANSI/ASSE Z244.1-2003 (R2008) and ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2006 standards.

Increased pickling line productivity, eliminated downtime the HRS way!!!

S

teel plants are engaged in many heat treatment processes like forming, rolling, forging etc.

These processes which occur at high temperatures leave a discolored oxide layer or something similar to very heavy rust on surface of the steel, called ‘Scale’, which needs to be removed to separate oxides and iron contamination. ‘Pickling’ is a metal surface treatment used to remove scale or alike contaminations by dipping the rolled material into the solution of strong acids, also termed as ‘pickle liquor’.

Pickle liquor is primarily hydrochloric acid, although Sulfuric acid was previously more common. Hydrochloric acid is more expensive but it pickles much faster while minimizing base metal loss. The effectiveness of acids increases strongly with temperature, therefore temperature control at high temperature limits is essential.

Here comes the need of suitable heat transfer equipment. Traditionally, direct steam injection or graphite heat exchangers have been used for heat control in this process.

The steel plants have increasingly faced problems like lesser efficiency

due to dilution of acid, frequent salt deposition, leakages, choking of line due to rust and metal particles, repeated maintenance and more downtime resulting into lower production and inconsistent product quality due to these heat transfer processes.

HRS Process Systems Ltd., one of India’s leading heat transfer specialist offered the ‘Skid Mounted Acid Heating System’ to overcome above all hindrances in steel plate pickling line. The heart of each skid is ‘ECOFLUX*’ shell and tube heat exchanger in Tantalum material. Tantalum offers strong corrosion resistance compared to other metals when exposed to pickle bath chemistries. Heat exchanger in Tantalum material offers better heat transfer characteristics and higher pressure capabilities in compact size. HRS has proven expertise in design and manufacture of exotic high value material like Tantalum, Titanium, Hastelloy, Inconel and others. Additional key components of the skid are PTFE lined pumps, steam regulating valves, steam trap at outlet of heat exchanger and control panel unit with automated temperature control.

The entire acid line piping is with PTFE lining which restricts direct contact of pipe material with acid.

Optionally, CPVC pipes also can be used to serve the purpose.

In this well designed automated system, acid is continuously circulated through closed loop system by using lined pumps. ECOFLUX* shell and tube heat exchanger in tantalum material is used to heat acid at required temperature. Temperature sensors at the outlet of heat exchanger

detect the acid temperature which acts as input signals to controllers to further enable steam flow rate control. The controller works on feedback control system which produces output signal for every input signal by comparing set desired point value to maintain constant temperature.

This system has evolved as a robust solution and enabled increase in line speed, elimination of downtime thus giving better productivity and improved quality of plate coils.

A standby line of pump and valves can be provided for continuous running even during maintenance of the primary line. Steel plants can finally deal with high maintenance costs and expensive shutdowns with this ‘Skid Mounted Acid Heating System’.

These systems can be customized according to process requirement for better results. HRS has recently supplied this system to SAIL, an eminent player in Steel Industry where direct steam injection process was used for plate pickling line. It has particularly been helpful by maintaining uniform temperature of pickle bath which has further omitted problems like dilution of acid and frequent downtimes. This increased the productivity of their plate pickling line along with better quality of product.

Other key applications in steel industry like gas heating, heat recovery of exhaust gas, condensation are also enhanced through specialized tubular heat transfer solutions of HRS. The compact and effective range of HRS Funke Plate Heat Exchanger is also a preferred choice for common

This arm lends a strong hand Hard and repetitive work weakens the body. The consequences are chronic back pain and other ailments that can keep workers off the job, resulting in high costs. The Cobot robotic arm is aimed at changing this. It holds the tool and the worker simply has to guide it – like a partner in a dance.

E

very fourth employee in Europe suffers from severe back pain.

Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common work-related illnesses. The reasons are simple: high paced work, monotonous procedures and heavy loads.

The consequences are severe. Not only does the health of the individual suffer, but the economic and social costs are immense.

To combat this societal problem, new solutions are needed. One of these is the Cobot 7A 15, created by French company RB3D. Cobot takes a load off the industrial worker’s back – literally.

The robot arm, which is mounted to a wall, is equipped with seven axes and 116 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

has an action radius of more than two metres. A heavy tool such as a grinder can be attached to the lower end of the robot arm. This means that the workers no longer need to carry the weight of the device themselves, but instead only guide it. Cobot takes care of the heavy lifting.

Sensors transmit the desired movements The robot assists the operators in executing the movements that they would like to perform, whether up, down, left or right. A sensor immediately recognises the operator’s intent. The controller then ensures that the robot arm goes where it should, without exertion on the part of the worker. The quick, smooth

movements of the arm are executed by maxon DC motors from the RE series.

These are used on all of the Cobot’s axes.

The high-precision brushed DC motors, with 150 W and 250 W of power, amplify the force exerted by the worker many times over. The worker saves energy and can concentrate on the work itself. “If a certain task would usually require 20 kg of force, the Cobot reduces the force needed to 1 kg,” says Serge Grygorowicz, CEO & founder of RB3D. Together with his team, he has made it his goal to improve work conditions in the industrial sector and

to thus reduce musculoskeletal disorders. maxon drives were his team’s first choice. “They provide the best combination of weight, quality and power density.” The requirements that the motors have to meet are high.

They have to provide both speed and torque and have to transmit large forces with high precision yet remain easy to control.

Important know-how from the nuclear industry maxon motor supplied not only the motors, but also the entire drive system. The DC motors of the RE series are used in combination with the matching planetary gearheads, encoders and EPOS positioning motor controllers. There were several key factors that contributed to the French developer’s decision to work with maxon: the compactness, torque and acceleration of the solution, as well as having all parts of the system come from a single source.

In designing the solution, maxon worked closely with CEA LIST, a

French research institute which played an important role in the development of the Cobot. Up till now, there were hardly any industrial robots that could be controlled and guided by means of a human’s strength. Those that did exist were slow and did not significantly reduce the amount of effort required from the worker. This made the experience that CEA LIST has gained with force feedback controllers in the nuclear industry even more valuable. With this specialized knowledge, RB3D succeeded in developing a new generation of industrial robots that could permanently change the work conditions in workshops.

A

continuous product development cycle, horizontal organisational structure and streamlined range of model sizes have made COORD-3 a global CMM brand. Renishaw supplies a wide-range of precision metrology products to COORD-3 and both companies benefit from a long-standing and successful partnership.

COORD-3 CMMs make use of the following Renishaw solutions: • Touch trigger motorized probe systems including the 3-axis PH10 PLUS and 5-axis PH20 heads • Universal CMM Controllers (UCC) and software • Laser calibration systems such as the XL-80 laser with XC-80 environmental compensation unit • TONiC high-performance optical encoders with FASTRACK™ mounted RTLC stainless steel scale.

122 | SEPTEMBER 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

TONiC and FASTRACK COORD-3 is one of the few suppliers to manufacture its CMM structures from aluminium alloy and silicon-carbide, offering maximum metrology performance and productivity. Even in a lab with environmental control, traditional granite CMM frames have significant thermal mass and take much longer to absorb and dissipate thermal changes, whereas, aluminium’s high coefficient of thermal conductivity allows the machine structure to respond more rapidly and linearly with temperature fluctuations.

This is important as it is necessary to predict CMM thermal behaviour and compensate for it in order to ensure machine accuracy over its operating temperature range. CMMs that expand linearly without induced constraints are easier to compensate for, which improves measurement repeatability.

The low structural weight of aluminium also improves the CMM’s acceleration and deceleration enhancing overall traverse speed and ultimately increasing measurement throughput. This allows the CMM to

operate at relatively high speed, which is particularly important for in-line applications where inspection operations need to keep pace with production.

Renishaw provides real-time temperature compensation with its 3-axis UCC S3 and 5-axis UCC T5 controllers, allowing temperature monitoring of up to 16 different locations, using sensors which can be fixed to the X, Y, and Z axes of the CMM and to the workpiece being measured. The thermal data is then combined with axis feedback from the TONiC encoder system to produce high fidelity measurements that allow the machine to minimise thermal error and reduce measurement uncertainty.

Continued from page no.122 scale, is installed on each CMM axis.

FASTRACK is a scale carrier system, comprising two miniature guide rails, that securely retains Renishaw’s 8 mm x 0.2 mm low-profile stainless steel scales and allows them to freely expand at their own CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) with almost zero hysteresis (for example, <1 μm on a centre-clamped 2 metre axis over the entire operating temperature range). Another advantage of this system is that damaged scale can be quickly removed and replaced, even when access is limited, thus reducing machine downtime. This feature is also ideal for large machines that need to be sectioned prior to transportation.

Fabrizio Tonellato, COORD-3’s principal electronics engineer, explains: “The main challenge with CMMs is ensuring measurement repeatability.

Renishaw’s TONiC encoders with FASTRACK have solved the problems associated with differential thermal expansion between the scale and machine axis on which it is applied. Strong points of the TONiC encoder series include: high measurement precision, linear thermal expansion of scale due

to CTE of scale, ease of installation and set-up and easily replaceable FASTRACK scale for straight-forward maintenance.”

Mr Vaccaro emphasises: “Scales and readheads are of primary importance for CMMs and TONiC with FASTRACK embodies the COORD-3 design philosophy. Different materials are used to build a CMM and Renishaw’s encoder scales help minimize the CMM measuring error and maximize precision.”

Mr Vaccaro adds: “COORD-3 CMMs are built largely from aluminium and Renishaw’s encoders help to compensate for expansion and thermal movement. In creating our CMMs, we are not bound in the choice of the materials because Renishaw’s FASTRACK mounted scale is largely free to expand independently of the machine structure. TONiC with FASTRACK and the UCC S3 / T5 controllers are stable, flexible and well-designed products, which have helped to triple our sales.”

The PH20 probe COORD-3 CMMs can also feature a Renishaw PH20 touch-trigger system, which allows easy access to features at any angle and can deliver a 3-fold increase in measurement throughput

PH20 probe head Amounted on COORD-3 CMMs for 5-axis measurement

over traditional systems. Unlike conventional touch-trigger measurement methods, which rely on speeding up the motion of the CMM to measure quickly, PH20 utilizes head motion technology developed for the multi-award winning REVO® system to minimize the dynamic errors of the CMM at higher measurement speeds.

“For us, Renishaw’s products sell themselves and really drive our business – the PH20 gave us a great competitive advantage and in 2014, thanks to PH20, 5-axis CMM sales were 10 times higher than in 2013.”

Mobile app brings Industry 4.0 to all pumps / ACHEMA 2015 To help plant operators increase productivity and transparency as well as improve competitiveness across the entire life cycle, Frankenthal-based pump manufacturer KSB has developed an app for smartphones and tablets that can determine the efficiency of fixed-speed pumps in just 20 seconds. The KSB Sonolyzer app is based on an algorithm that has been integrated in PumpMeter units for five years now, of which well over 30,000 have already been sold.

T

he smartphone-based application does not require knowledge of the individual characteristic curve or any additional technical data of the pump set to be measured, however, and can also be used with pumps from other manufacturers. Users can utilise the app to determine the load at which each centrifugal pump driven by a fixedspeed asynchronous motor is being operated. The following data must be entered for this purpose: the motor rating, the rated motor speed, the head and the flow rate of the pump.

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

When the measurement routine starts, the microphone built into the smartphone or tablet is used for approximately 20 seconds to record the noise emitted by the fan of the electric motor. This noise spectrum is then filtered by the application to ascertain the exact speed of the pump set and determine the torque.

By correlating the performance data entered by the user with the hydraulic systems database developed by the manufacturer, the app can conclude whether the pump is operating at part load and lets the user know if any energy could be saved by optimising the hydraulic system or the drive.

The KSB Sonolyzer app is available for the iOS and Android operating systems and can even be used in potentially explosive atmospheres if the smartphone or tablet PC has

appropriate protection. The average life cycle of plants used in the chemical industry exceeds 30 years, which is why the pumps installed have only seldomly been connected directly with the Internet of Things. In many cases, users are not even aware of a pumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current load condition.

This, in turn, points to a considerable amount of energy-saving potential that can be tapped by optimising existing pump installations. All analysis data that is uploaded to a secure, cloud-based environment does not reference an individual. The data serves statistical purposes and is only used to further develop and advance the analysis algorithms in the cloud application which is accessed by the app.

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

High Productivity carbon steel mechanized cutting solution with ESAB’s PT-36 XR series nozzles using m3 Plasma™ System Mechanized plasma cutting of carbon steel using ESAB’s new PT-36 XR nozzles bring a plethora of benefits to the enduser. These include very high cutting speed, precision cut quality, wider operating range of thicknesses, and very low operating costs. ESAB is a global leader in welding and cutting equipment, consumables and allied products. Its innovative products are developed with inputs from customers and are manufactured in its world-class facilities. Inheriting a wealth of experience spanning over a century, ESAB is highly proactive and organized to deliver efficient, high productivity solutions to meet and exceed customer expectations.

M

echanized plasma cutting is widely used in the industry for cutting carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and alloys. Plasma cutting is a fast cutting process which is economical for cutting carbon steel from 1 mm to 50mm.The productivity of plasma cutting depends upon the speed at which the cutting happens. Higher cutting speeds results in more parts per hour.

For cutting a particular thickness, we need the required power output from the plasma power source. The more the power output, the greater the speed. But we cannot put too much of power into the plate as it will affect the cut quality. Hence optimum power is used for cutting a particular thickness plate. By using the optimum power we can also increase the cutting speed by increasing the arc intensity in the plasma torch. This leads to more productivity.

High cutting speeds, exceptional consumable life and high quality cutting with reduced secondary operation decrease the cutting cost which reduce the overall cost of production.

- Lower energy consumption - Improved consumable life - Improved spatter resistance - Lower inventory cost • wider operating range of thicknesses

So higher productivity and lower cost of production in carbon steel can be achieved with specially designed plasma consumables like nozzles, electrodes, shields, etc. ESAB’s specially designed PT-36 XR series nozzles help to improve productivity by increasing the cutting speed by 45 to 80% and the cost of cutting can be slashed by more than 25%.

The new XR Series nozzles improve cutting speed and extend the drossfree cutting range, providing better cut quality on a wider range of materials. Some of the salient features of the XR series nozzle are • Cutting Speed faster by 45 to 80% • Precision cut quality with improved top edge squareness and drossfree performance which reduces secondary operation and cleanup work.

• Operating costlower by more than 25%

Productivity & superior cut quality: The innovative design of the new nozzle improves overall cutting performance by increasing cutting speed and extending the dross-free cutting range. The new 260 Amp XR nozzle can cut as much as 45% faster than previous PT-36 nozzles, while the new 360 amp XR nozzle reaches speeds up to 80% faster than formerly possible.

Throughout each nozzle’s cutting range the cut quality and dross performance are improved, reducing secondary operations and clean-up work.

Lower operating cost: Overall operating costs are reduced due to faster cutting speeds. Some users may see savings due to lower current usage. Nozzle cooling is improved, which enhances consumable life. Piercing performance is also enhanced, allowing thicker plate to be cut more reliably.

• 50 mm Piercing in carbon steel can be done by 360A in XR technology but it requires 400A in standard technology Few consumable parts required for wider range of operations which leads to decrease in inventory cost The new XR Series nozzles feature an extended water cooling surface, so that a larger area of the nozzle is in contact with cooling water, closer to the nozzle tip. When compared with

older PT-36 torch nozzles, the XR nozzles feature more than double the water cooled surface area. This results in the nozzle running cooler, which leads to longer consumable life.

The new nozzles are designed to be used exclusively with the new TL Oxygen Electrode. This new electrode delivers more consistent cutting angles by reducing turbulence in the plasma stream. Electrode cooling efficiency has also been optimized, so that one new oxygen plasma electrode is used throughout the entire range of XR nozzles, as well as many other oxygen plasma setups.

A new nickel plated shield retainer and one nickel plated shield help shed pierce spatter and resist front-end damage when piercing thicker plate.

This new shield is thicker and heavier and is designed to last longer under the most challenging conditions. The improved nozzle cooling also helps extend nozzle life when piercing thicker material. XR Nozzles can cut

up to 80% thicker material with the same current. The improved speed combined with enhanced cut quality and dross performance result in dramatic increases in productivity and reduced operating costs Wider operating range of thicknesses: Advanced nozzle design allows each of the new XR Series nozzles to cut through a wider range of materials.

This means that customers with existing m3 Plasma™ systems can now cut thicker materials with less power. The wide cutting range also means fewer consumable changes, so machine operators spend more time cutting and less time changing nozzles.

The XR Series Nozzles are used with ESAB’s m3 Plasma™ system for cutting and marking on mild steel plate from 12 mm thick up to 75 mm thick carbon steel, depending on the amperage. The new XR Series includes one electrode, four nozzles and one shield, which are designed for 200, 260, 360, and 450 Amp Oxygen plasma cutting on carbon steel.

Nuclear Fabrication - Stringent Quality Requirements & Challenges

By G.K. Pillai, Managing Director & CEO, Walchandnagar Industries Ltd. Why are quality requirements so stringent for nuclear power generation equipment?

It is well-known that nuclear power is generated due to a controlled nuclear chain reaction in which the nucleus of a heavy atom like Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239 is split by neutron and heat is released. The released heat converts water into steam and the steam turbine runs the generator to produce electric power. It is thus critically important to control the nuclear chain reaction and avoid release of uncontrolled heat energy, blast and radioactive waste in the form of gases and debris (nuclear explosion). It is necessary that Nuclear Power Plants and Facilities are designed and constructed with

the highest possible quality standards and operated with extreme care so that safety of the plant is always assured and any kind of accidental damage is avoided.

From an industrial standpoint how do we address these requirements while executing work related to fabrication of such equipment?

Primarily the framework of the “Quality Assurance Program (QAP)” addresses the core issue of such stringent quality requirements.

The features of a QAP are as follows: a. Design Control - Measures are established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis are correctly

translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions.

These measures include provisions to assure that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design documents and deviations from such standards are controlled. b. Procurement document control Applicable regulatory requirements, design bases, and other requirements which are necessary to assure adequate quality are suitably included or referenced in the documents for procurement of material, equipment, and services. c. Instructions, procedures and drawings - Activities affecting quality are prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances and are accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

HAAS : HE303-CS Based in the south of Germany, Metallmanufaktur GmbH has come a long way in a short time. From a standing start in 2013, when the company found early business by simply cold-calling potential customers, Metallmanufaktur now serves a variety of different industries. Investing only in Haas CNC machine tools, including automated five-axis and high-speed models, the firm has thrived, and has recently entered an agreement with local Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) Katzenmeier to be a regional Haas showroom.

n 2013, Jochen Schumacher’s dream of running his own business became reality with the establishment of Metallmanufaktur GmbH in Orsingen-Nenzingen, Germany, 130 kilometers south of Stuttgart, close to the Swiss border. Although not an obvious location for a machine shop, the company has been able to fill a small but lucrative niche for a reliable, fast, cost-effective subcontract machine shop that the area was lacking.

“We started in 2013 with a Haas VF-2SS Super-Speed CNC vertical machining centre, and a Haas UMC750 five-axis universal machining centre,” explains Mr. Schumacher, who first heard about Haas in his previous role as head of the mechanical production department at medical

technology specialists, Leica Biosystems, near Heidelberg.

“Although I never had the opportunity to buy Haas technology during my time at Leica, I always said that if I were to ever start my own business, I was going to do it with Haas machines.”

In the very beginning, Mr. Schumacher had to cold-call potential customers to secure business for Metallmanufaktur. He would use the Internet to research trade fair exhibitors whose products and parts might be a good match for his capabilities.

Happily, cold-calling is no longer required – new customers now find him, typically through word-of-mouth recommendations. Fresh contacts are Continue on page no.150

Continued from page no.148 added almost every week, which has allowed Metallmanufaktur to expand into a neighbouring building.

In early 2015, Metallmanufaktur agreed to become a Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) showroom for regional Haas distributor, Katzenmeier.

“There was nowhere south of Stuttgart where it was possible to

demonstrate the potential of Haas machines,” says Mr. Schumacher. “So, after discussions with Bernd Katzenmeier, CEO of Haas Factory Outlet Sueddeutschland, and Jens Thing, managing director of Haas Automation Europe, it was decided that here would be a good location. We had around 220 people attend the grand opening of the showroom earlier this year: a mixture of existing and potential Haas customers. Of course, having all of those engineering companies come and see the Haas machines on our premises is also good for us. It’s great networking!”

A short time before the grand opening, a second Haas UMC-750 five-axis universal machining centre was acquired by Metallmanufaktur in March 2015, this time fitted with an automated loading system.

“The idea was to purchase a machine that could run unsupervised the whole day, through the night or at weekends. It’s difficult to find fully trained and qualified personnel in this area,” explains Mr. Schumacher.

Parts produced on this machine include 200-off batches of industrial metrology components, and similar quantities of parts used on garbage collection trucks – all loaded automatically and completed on the Haas UMC five-axis machine in a single setup. When a part is finished, the door opens and a robot arm extends inside the working envelope before lifting the part from its fixture. The gripping device then rotates 180° and deposits a fresh blank in its place, before exiting. Chip-to-chip time is around 30 seconds.

As an HFO regional showroom, Metallmanufaktur keeps demonstration machines on-site, including a Haas Super Mini Mill and an ST-20Y CNC turning centre with Y-axis capability. Although the company currently out-sources any turning operations, Continue on page no.152 www.engrreview.com

Continued from page no.150 the plan is to bring turning in-house.

For now, however, Metallmanufaktur is focussed on prismatic parts, machined from all types of metals and plastics. For instance, the company produces around 180 different components (from various materials)

Metallmanufaktur has recently entered an agreement with local Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) Katzenmeier to be a regional Haas showroom

for special hospital beds designed for overweight patients.

The Haas VF-2SS Super-Speed CNC vertical machining centre owned

by Metallmanufaktur also plays an important role. The machine’s 12,000rpm spindle and rapid travels ensure Metallmanufaktur can be competitive on all job types. For example, in early 2015, the VF-2SS was used to successfully complete a series of 30,000 relatively simple parts featuring a large number of holes.

Anything complex is, of course, assigned to one of the UMC-750 five-axis machines. A case-in-point are batches of 60 aluminium chassis parts for a German manufacturer of workholding and gripping systems.

Machined from solid to tight tolerances, each component demands around 3½ hours of machining time.

To simplify job scheduling and programming, the Haas machining centres at Metallmanufaktur are configured identically, using zero-point workholding systems, and the same type of cutting tools in corresponding stations in the toolchanger. On average, changeover times at Metallmanufaktur are just 5 to 10 minutes, with parts fully interchangeable between machines.

“The moment I differentiate between machines, I lose flexibility,” concludes Mr. Schumacher. “From a process and technical perspective, our operation is nearly perfect now.

This is important because, aside from price and delivery, we need to show customers that we have the best offer for all industries; an offer that is based on Haas technology. And just because we are relatively small, doesn’t mean we can’t compete. We’re as lean and competitive as any company.”

W

e wish to introduce our self as 100% subsidiary of Eco Pipe Ltd Company, we are leader in the compressed air distribution market. After several years of research, Airpipe was introduced. On the initial note the improvement for compressed air distribution system is immense. A few of the most effective benefits that you could expect after renovation are as follows:Corrosion proof aluminum alloy piping. The Pipe material has been engineered so as to counter the common problem of corrosion which results in scaling and porosity resulting in pressure drop and leakages. As per the latest data from prominent External body institutes a leakage from a hole of a

size of 800 micros represents a loss of Rs 80000 annually.

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

Plus there are many more benefits such as: no water retention in the system, ability to take out drop line even when the system is charged, scientifically designed fittings which ensure

WHY AIRpipe ?

Over GI Pipes AIRpipe

GI Pipe

Smooth InternalSurface

Rough Internal Surface

Constant, low friction factor, resulting in an unrestricted air flow.

Friction factor is almost double of an aluminium pipe, restricting the air flow. Due to corrosion, the friction factor increases over time.

Low initial pressure drop. (E.g. In a system with an air demand of 110 l/s, designed as a 400 m long ring of Ø50 mm (2”) pipes with P = 7 bar, the pressure drop (rP) equals 0.2 bar.)

High initial pressure drop. (E.g. In a system with an air demand of 110 l/s, designed as a 400 m long ring of Ø50 mm (2”) pipes with P = 7 bar, the pressure drop (rP) equals 0.37 bar.)

Requires lower loading pressure at the compressor and lower power consumption.

Requires higher loading pressure at the compressor and higher power consumption.

Standard painted blue (compressed air) or grey(inert gases) for easy network identification.

Pipes need to be painted in the appropriate color, adding to the total cost.

AIRpipe’saluminium pipes and fittings do not corrode. Their smooth inner surface keeps air clean, now and in the years to come.

Corrosion protection depends on the quality of the galvanization.

No risk of corrosion when cutting the aluminium.

When the pipe is cut, the galvanization is removed, resulting in a high risk of corrosion.

A Building Energy Management System (BEMS) is a computer-based system that automatically monitors and controls a range of building services, including air conditioning, ventilation, heating, lighting and other consumers of energy within the building or sometimes groups of buildings. The functional aim of BEMS is to manage the environment within a building, so that energy use perfectly balances the way in which the building is used. ElMeasure provides a unique technique to integrate cutting-edge mechanical, electrical and building automation system technology into

real-world solutions. Our goal is to design buildings and systems that will have a smaller energy footprint and a much smaller impact on the environment.

There are a number of important benefits associated with use of a Building Energy Management system.

1. It provides energy analysis, management and control information.

2. It enables equipment, air conditioning, lighting etc to be switched on and off automatically.

3. It optimises space heating within the building.

4. It allows monitoring of equipment status and

ENGINEERING REVIEW | SEPTEMBER 2015 | 189

PRODUCT SHOWCASE

environmental conditions.

5. The amount of wasted energy is minimized.

This saves money and reduces carbon emissions.

With the advent of the Smart Grid, these Building Energy Management Systems can help businesses better manage their electricity demand. With a varying price of electricity, the BEMS can program the system can turn on and turn off loads without sacrificing occupant safety, comfort, and productivity.

BEMS can be used in different sectors such as,Health Care: Health Care establishments require large amounts of energy to heat and power them.

Therefore large savings can be made by installing BEMS to optimize efficiency, while still delivering the best comfort conditions for occupants.

Retail: Lighting, refrigeration and air conditions are large energy users in the retail sector. Inefficient energy use can lead to over-heating and over-cooling causing over consumption and spending.

Manufacturing: Rising energy prices and the cost of raw materials are making it hard for manufacturers

to keep their production costs down and make a profit. Managing energy consumption across a manufacturing site with an effective BEMS can remove inefficiencies and reduce costs.

Educational Institutions: Private schools, academies, colleges and universities are all large consumers of power. Energy intensive equipment, such as computers, lighting and air conditioning, are often used inefficiently, e.g they are left turned on overnight or at weekends, adding unnecessary cost to the bottom line. BEMS can be programmed with occupancy set points and calendar schedules, to ensure lighting and heating are not over-used during unoccupied times.

Commercial / Residential: Occupancy comfort and building efficiency both need to be optimized in office / residential environments. However, the desire for comfort can often reduce the efficiency of the building, due to inefficient settings and programming of your building controls.

BEMS can control lighting and cooling effectively to avoid unnecessary use of energy outside normal working hours or when ambient daylight levels are adequate.
