very year, another federal budget comes out, sending various sectors into a flurry of cheers for increased spending and dire warnings of the consequences funding cuts will bring about. There may be much to argue about in the budget unveiled in March, but it’s hard to dispute that innovation isn’t high on its list of objectives. In total, it allocates almost $1.6 billion in innovation spending.

Specifically, the budget is interested in fostering the broader sense of the word rather than focusing on the narrower “invention” definition. In other words, it places greater emphasis on the “D” rather than the “R” in Research and Development.

Thrown into the mix is the often unstated “C” for Commercialization. While it can be argued that Canadians are every bit as creative as their counterparts in other industrialized countries, we often get poor marks for successfully bringing those creations to market. Since the 1980s, the Conference Board of Canada has given Canada a “D” grade in innovation.

That’s not due as much to a lack of patent filings or ground-breaking research, but to the comparatively little profit derived from either. According to the Global Innovation Index for 2011, Canada ranked eighth in innovation inputs and tenth in outputs but 54th in terms of innovation efficiency.

To engineer this shift towards measurable results, the budget closely follows recommendations put forward in the Expert Panel Report, Innovation Canada: A Call to Action. First and foremost, the report advocated restructuring the Scientific Research and Education Development (SR&ED) tax credit program. The most significant change is that, starting in 2014, capital expenditures will no longer be eligible. The intent behind the policy changes is to take complexity out of the SR&ED application process and shift compensation toward SME’s labour-related costs.

While the budget squeezes SR&ED, new funding is being pumped into more direct forms of support, again, in line with the Expert Panel Report. For example, the budget proposes doubling contributions made to the Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP), an initiative administered by the National Research Council to fund innovation within SMEs. In addition, the Canada Foundation for Innovation will receive $100 million annually, for next five years, to support the private sector though research conducted in Canadian Universities. And, to address the dearth of Canadian VC money, the budget allocates an extra $100 million to the Business Development Bank’s venture capital activities as well as $400 million to create large-scale venture capital funds.

The only panel major recommendation missing from the budget was the formation of a proposed Industrial Research and Innovation Council, an arm’s-length funding and delivery agency with focus on supporting business innovation. While not formally addressed, the government hasn’t rejected the idea for the future.

It’s hard to anticipate what affect all this budgetary effort will ultimately have on Canadian innovation. Socially engineering success is a tricky business; government funding and economic incentives have a tendency to bounce in unanticipated directions. But whatever your political leanings, the government is at least making an honest effort to foster innovation. Like any government initiative, it will depend on how the recipients choose to use the money allocated.

ollowing a critical design review held at the CSA’s David Florida Lab in Ottawa this past March, the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge (CSDC) has come down to three leading Canadian University teams.

The primary objective of the challenge is for university students to design and manufacture an operational “cubesat” satellite, predominantly using off-the-shelf components.

Of the 12 universities competing, teams from Concordia University, University of Manitoba and University of Saskatchewan have taken the top three positions so far. Concordia University’s ConSat-1, designed by a 30-student team, is tasked with studying the South Atlantic Anomaly of the Van Allen radiation belt, to discover how it works and affects space weather.

University of Manitoba’s T-Sat cube satellite carries two scientific payloads. The primary payload will study a colony of small organisms called tardigrades and monitor their behavior when exposed to the harsh space environment. The second remote sensing payload is designed to learn more about the Sun through spectroscopy.

University of Saskatchewan Space Design Team’s (USST) nanosatellite is intended to measure and map plasma densities in the Earth’s ionosphere to help improve the accuracy of multi-million dollar GPS satellites.

Presently, the satellites are undergoing full space environmental and launch qualification testing. When the contest wraps in October, one or more winning teams will be chosen to have their satellite launched into outer space where they will conduct its experiment at 26,280 kilometres per hour, approximately 700 kilometres above the Earth. www.geocentrix.ca Concordia’s ConSat-1 is one of 12 “CubeSat” satellites vying for a trip to Earth orbit. www.design-engineering.com

Canadian bike maker leverages CFD analysis for latest racing model Canadian high-end bicycle company, Cervélo—known for the distinctive airfoil shape of its bikes’ down pipe—teamed up with, Intel, R Systems and engineering software company, CD-adapco, to test the design of its S5 racing bike before its release. As a result, the company says the S5 doubles the aerodynamic advantage its S3 model had over traditional road bicycles.

Anyone who has ridden a bicycle on a windy day knows aerodynamics play a huge role in cycling. Drag makes up 80-90 percent of the resistance experienced by an average rider on a flat road— 80 percent of this drag is due to the rider, with the remaining 20 percent down to the bicycle itself.

In the design of the S5, Cervélo ran simulations using the STAR-CCM+ Power-on-Demand licensing scheme on R Systems HPC resources powered by multi-core Intel processors. STARCCM+ Power-on-Demand allows users to run STAR-CCM+ simulations using an on-demand cloud computing service. Based on extensive wind tunnel testing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, Cervélo says the S5 is the most advanced aerodynamic road bicycle it has yet developed. www.cd-adapco.com www.cervelo.com

h maturity, As CAD software and the industry approac and satisfy ent Solidworks pushes to generate excitem user requests at annual conference.

By Ben Eadie

I

f a CAD user conference is any indication, the healthy attendance at SolidWorks World 2012 suggests that the economic rebound is taking hold in North America. Nearly 5,650 registered attendees descended on San Diego Convention Center this past February. That’s significantly larger than the approximately 4,300 of the year previous.

To kick off the conference, CEO Bertrand Sicot’s remarks during the first general session were somewhat overshadowed by the small, child-like robot—called the NAO—that introduced him. Designed in SolidWorks, NAO robot is the brainchild of Paris-based Aldebaran Robotics and is intended to, among other things, help autistic children learn.

Other highlights of the show included presentations by Mike Rowe from Discovery’s Dirty Jobs; NEPTUNE Canada, the world’s first underwater observatory network; and a sitdown interview keynote address between Sicot and the father of the Apple iPod, Tony Fadell.

While these presentations were entertaining and informative, SolidWorks World this year lacked the buzz of prior years. In the history of the event, Day 3 is typically the big reveal when execs show off what’s coming in the next release.

Typically, attendees sit at the edges of their seats, eager to hear how their favorite design software will become that much more powerful. The 2012 event lacked that kind of excitement.

There was simply a lack of cool new stuff.

Is this only a SolidWorks problem? Not really. It’s an industry problem. Now that CAD tools are so robust, it’s questionable if they can be pushed much further; 3D CAD has matured to the point that most of the real cool stuff has been done. Running down the top 10 best enhancements to expect in the 2013 release shows that there are only one or two real enhancements and a handful of nice-to-haves but one disappointment in the lot.

Assembly visualization: You will be able to sort parts and assemblies depending on which is more graphically intensive. Combined with the feature lock capability of last year’s 2012 release, it could make working on large assemblies much easier. eDrawings markup import into SolidWorks drawings: Not too many people use eDrawings but for design shops that do, this is a must have. Being able to import the markups from an eDrawing into a SolidWorks drawing will likely save having to flip between multiple windows (SolidWorks and eDrawings) to get a drawing done and just do it all directly in SolidWorks. Two thumbs up!

SectionXpert: You will be able to create sections quickly without having to make a sketch to start the command, saving a few mouse clicks. Everyone wants to save mouse clicks so this is a definite win-win. Plus, there is some added functionality to make more complex section cuts.

Revision clouds: This is self explanatory and been in the industry since God was a child. In this case, all I have to say is that it’s about time they added this to the software.

Bring multiple components into assembly at once: Again, this is a mouse click saver. Anything to keep carpal tunnel syndrome at bay is good in my books.

Favorite features folder added to feature manager: Putting common features you use in an accessible folder in the feature manager is a good idea but to get users to put this to use might be a bit of a challenge.

Dowel holes added to the hole wizard: Much like the revision cloud ability, this comes under “It’s about time”.

Surface intersect: With this command, you can add and subtract material to a solid body in one step using surfaces.

This is something that could be pretty awesome.

Equation entry everywhere: Being able to add equations on the fly while designing is great to have. I take notes when coming up with conceptual designs on things I need to readdress once the initial approvals are done. The most common note I take is where to add smart dimensions using formulas to be able to generate multiple iterations quickly for final design and prototyping. Now, being able to add them while in concept phase will help speed up the prototype phase.

Backwards compatibility: This issue has been seen on the top 10 list for years and, on the surface, it seems like it’s finally being addressed. But there is a significant limitation.

Backwards compatibility is limited to 2013 fi les being saved back to 2012, provided you have the latest service pack.

In general, I think SolidWorks is going in the right direction; when a recent user group meeting was polled if they could use backward compatibility, everyone raised their hands.

However, when shown the current backwards compatibility functionality being proposed and asked if this would help them, no one raised their hands.

Why? The fact is that users are just as shy to upgrade to the latest service pack as they are to upgrade to a new version for fear that bad things happening to their data. So if someone is using one service pack back from the last released for 2012, then this functionality will simply not work. For this group of

1

users, this is the critical detail that makes this a bitter sweet enhancement. On the one hand, SolidWorks is adding what the users asked for. On the other, the company has limited compatibility to such an extent that it misses the mark. Hopefully, this is just the start of SolidWorks’ backwards compatibility and it will improve in future releases.

SolidWorks has been taking care of bugs and stability issues for the last few years and I see a little trickle of new innovative things coming to light now that the software is more stable and less buggy.

It’s hard to say what the future holds for SolidWorks. There has been talk of some great stuff coming from the company’s staff, but it’s all just rumors at this point. The company has been tight lipped, and only time will tell if they can get their mojo back with some super cool features or innovative solutions to CAD issues in the next year or two.

SolidWorks is now leaving the stability and bug phase of the development cycle, so my fingers are crossed that we will see a resurgence of cool things in the future.

A successful test of this scaled down prototype of General Fusion’s reactor may change the future of energy production.

Commercial Fusion Amid many competitors, a Canadian firm aims to fire up the first commercial fusion reactor.

By Treena Hein

I

n a world beset by fossil fuel energy woes, fusion energy is holiest of Holy Grails. A working fusion reactor would not only release large amounts of energy but, unlike nuclear fission plants, they can’t melt down. They’re also significantly “cleaner,” in that a fusion reaction only uses small amounts of an abundant fuel (hydrogen isotopes tritium and deuterium), which is only weakly radioactive. The problem is, no one has yet created a net gain reactor (more energy out than in), although many well-funded programs are actively pursuing it.

It’s not surprising, considering the daunting challenges involved. Similar to the process that drives the Sun, a fusion reaction—melding two hydrogen atoms to form helium—requires heating the reactor fuel to galactic-scale temperatures and crushed under intense pressures. Of course, you also need a vessel capable of producing and containing these thermonuclear conditions.

Consequently, building fusion reactors will take decades, as well as enormous expenditures, which is why enthusiasm for this type of energy production has dampened. However, these same issues have many in the field keeping a close eye on a Canadian company, General Fusion, and its comparatively low-tech approach to fusion power. The Burnaby, BC-based company’s mechanical design sidesteps the massive costs of other leading approaches.

“Fusion reactions require plasma to be heated to near 150 million˚C, and that requires a lot of energy,” says Michael Delage, General Fusion’s vice president of business development. “Where you get this energy, and how you deliver it to the fuel, has a big effect on system cost.”

Reactor Design 101 To appreciate General Fusion’s concept, it’s important to understand how it differs from the two leading projects. ITER, a multinational collaboration based in France, is the larger and uses an approach called magnetic confinement. Using this method, a stream of super-heated tritium and deuterium gas, or plasma, is contained in a donut-shaped vacuum vessel called a tokamak. Super conducting magnets heat and compress the plasma to create the fusion reaction.

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories is pursuing the other approach, inertial confinement. It employs 192 laser beams focused on deuteriumtritium pellets inside a 10-meter-diameter target chamber to convert the fuel to plasma and generate X-rays. The radiation then compresses the plasma until fusion occurs. Both methods, says Delage, require massive amounts of input energy and depend on expensive, complex equipment that drive development costs into the billions and time lines out to 2050 at best.

In comparison, Delage says a commercial General Fusion reactor could be online by 2020 and at a fraction of the price. The company’s approach is a hybrid between the two main methods, called “magnetized target” fusion, and employs a comparatively less power hungry reactor design. Based on a concept called LINUS first developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in the 1970s, General Fusion’s reactor starts with a spherical vessel filled with liquid lead-lithium metal. The liquid metal is then pumped in a circle until centrifugal force forms a vortex in its center.

Into this vortex, plasma injectors on the top and bottom of the reactor inject doughnut-shaped “puffs” of plasma wrapped www.design-engineering.com

20 CoverStory in a magnetic field. Like smoke rings blown into either end of a tube, these “magnetized targets” collide at the reactor’s core.

As the targets combine, approximately 200 steam-driven pistons simultaneously hammer the spherical vessel, sending a shockwave through the molten metal. The shockwave collapses the vortex and compresses the plasma, heating it adiabatically (like a diesel engine), to produce a short burst of fusion energy.

During the reaction, the hydrogen isotope atoms fuse into Helium and throw off high-energy neutrons that pass into the swirling liquid metals, transferring heat and converting some of the lithium into tritium. After the reaction ends, the metal is pumped out of the chamber and passed through a separator that removes the helium and tritium, which can be directed back to the plasma injectors as fuel. Meanwhile, the hot lead passes through a heat exchanger that creates steam, half of which will be used to re-power the pistons and the other half to generate electricity.

According to Delage, each fusion pulse will result in approximately 100 MJ of net electrical output. The cycle repetition rate can be varied to control the overall power plant output; if repeated once per second, the net output will be 100 MW. In addition, the reactor would use only small amounts of deuterium and lithium.

If fusion reactors began generating enough electricity for the entire world, Delage says, lithium reserves would last for 207 million years and deuterium for more than 67 billion years.

Fusion for Less For all its promise, the quest for net gain fusion has been a time consuming and costly endeavor. The ITER reactor is projected to take 10 years and 13 billion euros to construct. That doesn’t count the 25 years and counting since the project began and the millions poured in by contributors so far. Even when built, ITER’s super conducting magnets and other components would require 50 MW worth of input power to start and maintain the reaction.

Similarly, costs for Laurence Livermore’s National Ignition Facility are estimated at upwards of $850 million and its reactor requires 500 trillion watts of laser light to kick-start fusion reactions.

General Fusion’s reactor will employ 200 steam-powered pneumatic pistons, like this one, to create the necessary pressures to induce nuclear fusion.

The largest of its kind every constructed, this plasma injector is designed to inject “smoke rings” of magnetized tritium and deuterium plasma into the fusion reactor’s core.

Where General Fusion’s magnetized target method stands apart is in its relatively low-tech, low-cost mechanical means of compressing the plasma. “As an energy storage medium, compressed gas is orders of magnitude less expensive than capacitors,” Delage explains, “but it’s hard to release this energy quickly.”

That’s the problem that ultimately scuttled LINUS, the predecessor of the General Fusion reactor, in the 1970s. The LINUS concept proposed impacting the liquid metal directly, which resulted in a relatively slow vortex collapse of up to 40 milliseconds, while the magnetized target holds its structure for only about 100 microseconds. According to Delage, General Fusion has solved this problem by impacting the containment vessel itself.

“Our sphere is in fact full of holes, like a Wiffle ball,” he explains. “Each hole is plugged with an ‘anvil’ and compressed gas is used to accelerate a 100 kg ‘hammer’ piston. This acceleration takes about 80 milliseconds. When the hammer piston impacts on the anvil piston, it moves a small amount and transfers the energy into the liquid metal in about 80 microseconds.

That’s a timescale shorter than the lifetime of the magnetized target and an increase in power of 1000 times.”

The challenge is that as the energy delivery speeds up, the requirements for symmetry of compression increases. “Every piston has to be individually servo-controlled to achieve the necessary synchronization,” Delage says. “Achieving this wasn’t possible in the 1970’s, but we are able to nurse each piston’s trajectory using a fast-response, closed-loop control system and brake, so that the timing of the impact is controlled to within microseconds. It’s the use of modern electronics—the computing power that has only come available in the last ten years—that makes our proposed system possible.”

Approaching the Finish Line Presently, General Fusion is creating a prototype and key subsystems at full scale. These include a plasma injector that creates the magnetized target; individual full-scale pistons that meet requirements for impact energy and timing; and a 1-meterdiameter sphere with 14 pistons to demonstrate the symmetric collapse of a liquid metal vortex.

“We’re also performing a series of experiments to demonstrate the behavior of the plasma target at peak compression www.design-engineering.com

“The path to a success is about understanding the physics and “The world has been saying that achieving fusion will cost the engineering and managing the outcome to produce energy billions of dollars and take decades,” says Bowcutt, “but General safely and reliably,” notes Dr. Paul Wilson, associate professor of Fusion’s approach, if it’s shown to work, will sidestep all that.” nuclear engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

MotionControl

Resolvers Stage a Comeback When choosing between position feedback components, resolvers may just have an edge over optical encoders.

By Mark McCann, B.Sc. Electrical Engineering

W

hile most motion control systems can work with either resolvers or encoders to monitor shaft position, they are not interchangeable. Many engineers are unfamiliar with resolver electronics and opt for an optical encoder as a default.

As with all components, it is important to understand the basic operation of both options and keep abreast of technological advances to build the most efficient and effective systems.

Both resolvers and optical encoders function as transducers by transforming mechanical motion into electronic information.

This information is fed back to electronic devices that control the mechanical motion, providing feedback that closes the control system loop and improves system performance.

A resolver is an electromechanical device with a mechanical design similar to a motor or a small transformer. It contains a rotor with one or two orthogonal primary windings and a stator with two orthogonal secondary windings. AC voltage is applied to the rotor and the voltage induced in each stator winding depends on the position of the shaft.

The voltage in one stator winding is Er Cos theta, where Er is the input voltage and theta is the shaft position, while the voltage in the other stator winding is Er Sin theta. A resolver-to-digital converter (generally mounted in the equipment to which the resolver is connected) compares the two voltages to give a highly accurate value of theta.

The biggest upside to resolvers is their ruggedness. They are

resistant to electrical disturbances and, because they have no fine-pitch gratings through which light must pass, they can tolerate dust and dirt that would stop an encoder.

In contrast, an optical encoder uses a scale with a pattern of lines deposited or engraved on its surface. A light source shines on the scale, and the transmitted or reflected light passes through the grating to a photodetector.

Encoders are available with both incremental and absolute outputs. An absolute encoder has as many tracks as it has output bits. An incremental encoder outputs a stream of pulses as the shaft rotates and are specified in pulses per revolution (ppr). Incremental encoders can be optical, using a scale or disk with just one or two rows, or magnetic, using several different technologies.

An incremental encoder does not provide any position information at start-up, but merely keeps track of how far it has moved. The only way to determine the absolute position of an incremental encoder is to set the equipment to a known reference position and then zero the counters.

Unlike a resolver, encoders are intrinsically digital, which means they can interface easily to most modern control systems.

However, optical encoders have had a reputation for being fragile. The thin glass disk at the heart of most optical encoders could be broken by excessive shock or misaligned by strong vibration. In addition, their integrated circuits could be damaged by a severe electrical disturbance or they could be obscured by dirt. Over the last decade, encoders gained popularity as the glass disks were replaced with steel and plastic disks and the electronics became more integrated and durable as a result.

Resolvers have also undergone a transformation in the past few years, which affects the way engineers are thinking about them. Advances in electronics manufacturing have lowered the cost of circuits and provide an increase in resolution. In fact, 21 byte resolvers are now available with more than 2 million ppr.

Resolvers are also gaining exposure through their use in automotive and green energy applications that deal with environmental exposure. Compared to optical encoders, resolvers are far more durable in extreme conditions, operate under greater temperature ranges, tolerate higher vibrations and are not as easily degraded by contamination. For these reasons, resolvers excel in modern application positioning feedback for hybrid vehicle electrical mechanical components and solar panel positioning systems.

While less common than optical encoders, resolvers provide ruggedized and reliable position feedback in “extreme� environments.

“I’ve always been interested in inventing things and also fascinated by how the human body works,” he says, “so that led me to learn mechanical engineering and to use it to provide bio-medical engineering solutions.”

It’s been a journey of six years to create and perfect what is now known as the LC Knee—a very inexpensive, simple, tough and highly-functional lower limb prosthetic knee joint.

The quest started in earnest during Andrysek’s Master’s degree on knee joints, when he investigated numerous existing types of simple lower limb prosthetics for children.

“They’re all based on a handful of common mechanisms created after WWII,” Andrysek notes. “The main problem with many of them is that they do not provide stability to allow individuals to safely negotiate different terrains.”

Some prosthetics are designed to provide a higher level of stability by restricting the knee from bending when the March/April | 2012

28-29-DES.indd 28

user’s weight is placed on the limb; however, this makes it difficult for the user to bend the leg as it swings forward during walking.

But it’s exactly that ability of a prosthetic—to swing easily—that Andrysek says provides an efficient and natural walking pattern for an amputee. He has achieved this through the creation of “Simplified Automatic Stance-Phase Lock” (SASPL) technology.

“The system actually locks up the knee joint before you put weight on it, so that there’s a feeling of safety for the user,” Andrysek explains. “The unlocking occurs in response to the load conditions that occur naturally in walking. We studied this extensively and figured out that we needed to configure the limb so that the unlocking would automatically occur at the point where the weight is placed on the toe of the prosthetic, at the same time as it’s cued by the user’s hip flexion motion.”

Andrysek also needed to create a mechanism that would provide a forward-swing motion that’s smooth, natural and properly-timed. “We optimized a spring and friction system that mimics the motion provided by hydraulics in more expensive prosthetics,” he says. “The faster a person walks with the LC Knee, the faster it swings forward.”

But it wasn’t simply about engineering the limb to provide a natural gait—a big challenge in itself. The prosthetic had to be light, durable and cheap to make.

“Plastic is great because it’s light, but the plastic parts had to be strong,” explains Andrysek. “With injection-moulding, which is the way we wanted to go because it’s so inexpensive, you can’t just make the part thicker to achieve greater strength.

There are many other limitations, such as what’s possible with pulling certain shapes out of the mould.”

After much tweaking and trial-and-error (and the use of a durable nylon plastic), Andrysek achieved manufacturing costs that are a stunning 90 per cent less than that required by other prosthetics with similar functionality. The final cost?

Only about $100.

The leg also had to be very low-maintenance, so Andrysek has incorporated self-lubricating plastic bearings and wear parts that are easily replaced after extended periods of use.

Some long-term testing has been done in Central America, but Andrysek wants a broader look at how the LC Knee functions in different environments. A newly-awarded Grand Challenges Canada grant of $100,000 is about to help him to do just that in places like Chile, India and Tanzania.

“The award is very nice,” Andrysek says, “but it’s also great to get direct feedback from the people using it or from the people who work with patients, to hear it’s allowing them to do this or that, things that they couldn’t do before. We wanted to provide a lot of function with a simple device, and it’s great to have done that.”

howing off the speed, repeatability and power density of pneumatic systems in a way that captures the imaginations of weary trade show attendees can be a challenge. However, Business Development Manager Rob Clippard and a team of inventive engineers at Clippard Instrument Laboratory, Inc. have combined their interests in music and fluid power to create one attention-grabbing pneumatic application.

They’re creation is the Clippard Air Guitar, a pneumatically automated guitar playing machine that incorporates 62 cylinders, 58 valves and an iPad as the machine controller. More than 30 cylinders along the neck of the six-string guitar depress the strings on the fret board while another cylinder mounted horizontally at the bottom of the soundboard drives a pick to strum the chords. For the melody, six cylinders across the sound hole pluck individual strings. Additionally, the “clack” Eaton appoints new director of hydraulics Industrial manufacturer, Eaton Corporation, announced that Daniel F. Koehler has been named director of market intelligence and strategy for the Hydraulics Group. Koehler will be responsible for the analysis and communication of market data, leading the annual strategic planning process for the global hydraulics business, and coordinating the strategy deployment and communication activities across the product divisions, regions and functions. www.eaton.com March/April | 2012

of the cylinders provide percussive accompaniment.

In total, Clippard says the Air Guitar took about a month and a half of nights and weekends to prototype and build. “I have a new found respect for the human hand,” he says. “The biggest challenge came when we started prototyping.

“When you play guitar, the pressure you put on or take off the strings varies dramatically depending on what you want to do next,” he adds. “When controlling basic components with very high speeds and variable pressures, it’s amazing how much complexity goes into playing a single note in the way the human hand does without thinking.”

To date, the Clippard Air Guitar has a repertoire of 16 songs. Similar to the rolls of punched paper of a player piano, the musical machine uses midi song files that digitally designate whether a particular note is played at any given moment.

The iPad functions as a time-based PLC, outputting the binary song files through a midi soundboard that interprets the on/ off of the digital signal to control the relays of the individual pneumatic cylinders.

The Air Guitar made its first appearance last year at PackEx in Las Vegas but is currently on its way back from the Analytica Show in Munich, Germany. Clippard says it will most likely make its next appearance in May at the Medical Design and Manufacturing East show in Philadelphia. For those interested in re-creating Clippard’s musical machine, the company has posted a video and component list on its web site. http://clippard.com/guitar

Maximizing Hydraulic Efficiency Choosing the most efficient control option requires full understanding of a hydraulic application.

Graph1: Pressure Compensated Pump

By Pat Jones, P.Eng.

A

s with all things technical, some decisions are not necessarily as easy as they first appear and require a better understanding of the application. In previous articles, I have discussed the benefits of a demand-flow system using a pressurecompensated pump and also with a load-sensing pump.

In those cases, it was easy to see the energy/cost saving of using variable displacement pumps over fi xed displacement pumps. In applications where the flow supply can be matched to the flow demand, then power is not wasted moving fluid that is not used in the circuit.

Fixed displacement pumps can also be used in loadsensing type circuits. This does offer power savings over a simple circuit with just a fi xed displacement pump and a relief valve where unwanted flow is forced across the relief valve (which would be set at maximum system pressure). It may also offer power savings over using a pressure compensated variable displacement pump.

In a fi xed displacement/load-sensing circuit, a bypass type compensator is used with the sensing line from the compensator connected into the circuit downstream of the flow control. With this type of circuit, system pressure is determined by the load pressure felt in the sensing line, plus the spring value of the compensator (typically 200 psi to 350 psi or so).

Therefore, system pressure upstream of the flow control will always be 200 psi higher than the load so the pressure difference across the flow control will always be 200 psi. When the flow control is adjusted for the desired speed, the unwanted flow is forced across the bypass compensator at load pressure plus 200 psi. This unwanted flow across the bypass compensator is wasted energy, but not as much as would be wasted if dumping flow across the relief valve.

So how can a fi xed pump circuit be more efficient than a variable pump circuit? It depends on duty cycle and the load flow/pressure demands. Consider the following comparison at a certain point in the duty cycle: System pressure setting Maximum pump flow Flow to circuit Load pressure

March/April | 2012

34-37 DES.indd 34

2,000 psi 20 USgpm 15 USgpm 500 psi

Graph 2: Fixed Pump with LS Control

In this scenario, the system efficiency of the pressure compensated pump is approximately 25 percent while the fixed pump with load sensing achieves about 44 percent efficiency.

From the graphs 1 and 2 above, you can see that, in this condition, the pressure compensated pump circuit will be much less efficient due to the control’s inability to sense the load. In this high-flow/light-load situation, the fi x pump with load sensing-type circuit is much more efficient.

This example points out that the nature of the control and the motion profi le of the load, as well as duty cycle, must be clearly understood to choose the most efficient control option.

It may be the most efficient to always specify a variable loadsensing pump for all circuits; however, if the duty cycle is intermittent usage, then a total cost case can be made for a fi xed pump, load-sensing circuit.

In a previous article, I mentioned that closed loop hydraulic circuits represent an efficient circuit option. The advantage to these drives is that—because both the direction and speed of the load are controlled with the displacement of the pump— the throttling losses of open loop hydraulic circuits are eliminated. This type of circuit offers one of the most efficient hydraulic circuits possible.

In a typical closed loop circuit, there are two pumps: The main loop pump that controls the load and the charge pump that supplies make-up fluid for main loop leakage and also www.design-engineering.com

36 FluidPower: ShopTalk typically supplies pilot fluid for main pump control. The charge pump is usually fixed displacement and continually forces fluid across a relief valve that is typically set from 350 – 500 psi.

The charge pump size would typically be 10-15 percent of the main loop pump. So the continuous wasted energy is always at least the charge pump flow across the charge pump relief. The worst-case loss is when the main loop is at full load and the motor and pump are at maximum leakage. This could typically represent 10 percent of main loop total flow being forced through the pump and motor clearances at full load pressure.

Using the same flow and load pressure numbers from the example above and assuming a charge pressure of 350 psi we see that, in the worst case, the closed loop circuit efficiency will be approximately 83 percent.

So, why aren’t closed loop circuits used everywhere if they offer such a distinct efficiency advantage? Considering that one main loop pump is required for each load, this is very practical on a stationary crane where there would be four main functions: Main boom, rotation, extension and winch.

This makes for a very compact and efficient circuit.

However, as the number of loads grows and possibly the distant between them, having a separate closed loop circuit for each load becomes less practical from a machine design point of view. One input power source, capital cost wise, is very cost

effective as opposed to having multiple closed loop circuits and the necessity of multiple prime movers. Of course, the long-term energy costs need to be weighed against this.

From an efficiency standpoint, there are clear standard options available. It’s a matter of understanding the combined flowpressure profile of the loads and the machine duty cycle and then looking at capital and longer term costs to determine the best solution. Efficiency does have a cost, but we can calculate the real cost of proper design if we understand all the variables.

FluidPower: Roundtable

Fluid Power Roundtable 2012

Canadian leaders discuss the market, globalization and grooming the next generation of fluid power professionals.

By Mike McLeod DE: For many in the fluid power industry, 2011 was a rebound year. How would you characterize 2012, so far?

Shane Monaghan, Product Manager, Fluid Power Division, Gates Canada Inc: For Gates, 2011 was an excellent year. In fact, Gates Canada was recognized as the largest growth region for all of Gates North America. You can attribute those high sales to forestry, oil and mining—our top three markets. In terms of 2012, we were expecting another stellar year. For 2012, the company has reinvented itself to focus on five identified end markets: Energy, exploration and extraction; infrastructure and agriculture; transportation, automotive, and process and specialty.

Those are the end markets we want to attack for 2012.

Steve Apps, Sales Product Manager for Mobile Markets, Bosch Rexroth: For us, 2011 was definitely a good year, and 2012 is looking the same if not better, although it’s a bit early to tell.

Mining and forestry are two areas that have certainly rebounded, although the mining industry has rebounded quicker. Prior to

the recession, there were a greater number of companies in each of those different sectors, but the down years took their toll, and some companies didn’t come back. Those that have are generally what I would consider larger OEMs—that is, companies that deal both locally and internationally.

Andreas Sobotta, Vice President, Product and Market Management, Festo Canada: We had a very strong start to 2012, more or less in all industries except automotive which was expected to be flat. Assembly and handling; food and beverage; and natural resources are all very strong. This is something that we anticipated, and we are getting stronger in these areas where we were already strong. The reason is that we aren’t just selling products; we sell solutions, and our customers appreciate this.

Festo has been focused on this worldwide, so that customers will see us as a partner instead of just a supplier.

Kevin O’Doherty, Regional Manager, Hydraulic Systems and Services, Wajax Industrial Components: From our perspective, 2012 is definitely going to be a more robust year than 2011, which was better than 2010. Through the first quarter, sales are up across both industrial and mobile segments and we’re hopeful the trend continues. The rebound is being led by the resource businesses, whether its oil and gas in Western Canada or metals and minerals here in Ontario.

The product capabilities gaining the most traction have to do with safety. So, high quality products, particularly those that protect the operator, are gaining the most in popularity.

For the mobile hydraulic market, emission control is probably the biggest consideration. Meeting the Tier 4 emission standard will affect performance, costs, physical design and a number of other things.

purchase our products so they don’t have to import the product from a specific country of origin. We’ve also re-named most of our hose and fittings to include the letter “G” for global, which means that no matter where you buy it, it will be manufactured to the same specifications and standards.

DE: At the NFPA annual conference in March, the prevailing theme was globalization. Are your Canadian customers looking beyond the U.S. market?

Apps -Bosch Rexroth: From my perspective, this has always been there. When the demand for domestic machines was higher, maybe globalization wasn’t as prevalent because customers could concentrate on their own backyard. With the change in the Canadian economy, the factors that influence production or harvesting of natural resources has dropped.

As a result, to stay in business, people are looking for markets other than Canada and the U.S. One of the advantages we have is that we are able to draw on the applications and expe-

Monaghan - Gates: Absolutely. We have Canadian distributors who supply mines in North Africa, as well as agriculture equipment in Russia, Europe and Asia. For the past two decades, Gates has been on five continents. What we’ve done to help distributors is develop a global product. Any OEM, across the globe, can

FluidPower: Roundtable rience of companies from around the world. Also, people want to know that what we are supplying is going to be supported if it is shipped, for example, to Eastern Europe. That has a certain attractiveness to local Canadian companies.

Sobotta-Festo: About 75 percent of Canadian exports still go to the U.S., but I know that a lot of customers are looking to expand into new markets. For example, some of our Canadian customers are exporting into South America and some pulp and paper companies into Europe. Yet, it will take some time for some to look beyond the U.S. The difficulty is in the requirements and the expectation in Europe. They are used to a more sophisticated level of product. For example, in Europe, they use more bus systems and smaller products with better performance. For a lot of U.S. companies, if something isn’t big, it can’t be good. It’s important for some of our customers to re-think their approach into new markets.

O’Doherty-Wajax: Our customers are definitely looking at the export markets. For example, a lot of the mining machinery OEMs we work with are doing more business in South America and Africa as well as parts of Russia and Asia. So, we definitely see customers taking a much more globalized approach to their sales channels versus just Canada and the U.S., the way it was a few years ago. Wajax is very much a Canadian-based company, so we don’t sell directly into other countries, but we do support the after-market for products that we manufacture here in Canada.

DE: Technically speaking, what trends are driving your company’s new product development?

Monaghan-Gates: For 2012, Gates has budgeted nearly double the industry standard for product growth to create products designed for specific regions. For example, in Canada we are coming out with a low-temperature product— an arctic version of a hydraulic hose. We are also re-releasing global products with improved pressure ratings and minimum bend radius. The product capabilities gaining the most traction have to do with safety, which is always a concern in the fluid power industry. For example, our Lifeguard line of sight hydraulic hose sleeves protects against catastrophic failure.

If the hose were to burst or there were a pin hole, the sleeve protects the operator. Safety is more of a concern for OEMs now, and it’s a selling feature for them as well.

Apps-Bosch Rexroth: For the mobile hydraulic market, emission control is probably the biggest consideration. Meeting the Tier 4 emission standards, which come into play at the beginning of 2014, will affect performance, costs, physical design and a number of other things. That single point has played a large role in shaping, not only the components themselves, but the system concepts. The trick is to find ways to improve a machine’s operation or performance such that it’s emissions are reduced.

Bosch Rexroth saw this coming because there is an internal connection between the automotive and hydraulics sectors. So, we have some access to the technologies and concepts used in the automotive industry, which was hit with these emission standards well before the off-road industry.

Sobotta -Festo: The new trend coming from Europe is that products need to be more efficient. As a German company, we are trying to convince our customers to jump on that bandwagon and be more productive. In terms of product, what we see is smaller, faster and more energy efficient. In terms of products that are gaining traction, customers want to have more flexibility so we have a single form factor product series that allows different size valves to drive different applications over different distances, all in one control panel. Additionally, you have the ability to connect to any type of bus system. Whether a customer has an Allen Bradley, Siemens or Omron system, they can take advantage of their existing software to drive our modules.

O’Doherty -Wajax: We see a lot going on with electronics and with the quest for higher pressures. For example, the marriage between high-pressure hydraulics and electronic systems on mobile equipment is becoming much more of a trend—anything that helps with emissions and fuel consumption but increases payloads. If you fill your car each week, you know it isn’t getting any cheaper. Of course, the bigger the equipment, the more fuel they burn, so if they can get something as miniscule as a five or 10 percent fuel savings, that translates into some fairly big dollars for these guys at the end of the year.

DE: Which strategies or initiatives are you finding most successful in developing tomorrow’s fluid power professionals?

Monaghan-Gates: Recruitment is definitely an issue and has been for a number of years. We combat that through the high schools and colleges. To get the fluid power name out there, it’s usually best to find a high school senior who hasn’t made

up his mind yet. Specifically, Gates provides a lot of product and equipment to high schools and we give out six scholarship awards every year to high school seniors. We also put on training courses at colleges and offer engineering services to FIRST Robotics, where a large number of participants go on to pursue a career in engineering.

Sobotta-Festo: Festo is one of the largest sponsors of Skills Canada competitions for colleges and universities. The last World Skills competition was held in Calgary, Alberta two years ago and we got a lot of interest from Alberta colleges and universities, which not only generated business for us, but they have now incorporated our equipment into their curriculum. As a result, students become familiar and benefit from this advanced learning technology. We also have a

unique product offering for high schools that is at the beginning of the implementation phase, which is well underway.

We just have to work on the curriculum so that high schools move toward a more automation and pneumatic focus.

O’Doherty – Wajax: As an industry, I think this is one of our biggest collective challenges. There is very little talent walking out of schools ready to go these days. Most people in fluid power have to be built from within. It’s really incumbent upon us to take the lead in their development such that we can hone their skills and turn them into a value player.

A lot of companies have backed off the throttle a bit, especially through the recent recession. But as business starts to ramp back up, we definitely see the need to train, develop and build our own.

On the Ball Integrator saves time and expense with new ball valves and end connections.

By Bill Menz and Tony Taylor

I

ntegrators charged with building chemical injection skids for medium-pressure applications face some formidable obstacles. Two of the chief challenges concern critical fluid system components: medium-pressure instrument ball valves and reliable end connections for use with SAF 2507 tubing.

Under certain circumstances, instrument ball valves in the medium-pressure range are known to leak across the seat.

After sealing at high pressure, they may have difficulty resealing at low pressure, especially if pressure in the system is being built up slowly.

End connections for the valves pose a special challenge when the tubing required is made of SAF 2507, a corrosionresistant material preferred in many aggressive chloridecontaining environments.

Until recently, the market has not provided simple, easy-touse, mechanical grip-type tube fittings for SAF 2507 tubing at pressures up to 15,000 psig (1034 bar). For such applications, the industry has relied on cone and thread fittings, which can be temperamental and difficult to fit and assemble.

Beta Test As an integrator that has built skids for most of the major oil companies, AGI Packaged Pump Systems was acutely aware of the challenges. When it accepted a contract to build two medium-pressure skids with SAF 2507 tubing—a chemical injection skid and a methanol injection skid—the company looked to Swagelok Company and its, then, not-yet-released FKB series medium-pressure ball valve.

Offering to beta test the valve, AGI built a testing fixture designed to put the valve through a set of cycles simulating conditions on a methanol injection skid for deep water exploration. AGI planned to cycle the test valve until failure, but when the test ran for two and a half days—more than 4,000 cycles—without failure, AGI was satisfied with the performance and stopped the test. Over the 20-year life of a chemical injection skid, an instrument ball valve is typically cycled 300 times, about once per month.

A New Ball Valve Design AGI’s beta test of the FKB series medium-pressure ball valve demonstrated that the valve reliably and repeatedly seals over the entire pressure range up to 15,000 psig. The valve’s effectiveness may be attributed to a special type of patent-pending live-loading technology termed “direct loading.”

ball and the seats. One of the principal design challenges is determining how to generate sufficient force to create this contact pressure. If the force is too little at any point in the pressure range, the valve will leak. If it is too great, the valve will be difficult to actuate and its cycle life may be compromised.

As one means of applying force, live-loading refers to a spring that fits somewhere between the end screw and the seat. Usually, the spring pushes against a seat carrier, which is a device that holds and positions the seat for ideal contact with the ball.

Live-loading is especially important for three-way valves where the sealing force is provided solely by the upstream seat.

But, even in the case of a conventionally designed, liveloaded ball valve, there may be issues with the seal at the lower end of the pressure range (<5,000 psig). The valve may create good sealing force initially because of the force delivered by the springs. But as the system pressure overcomes the springs— and collapses them—the sealing force may not be sufficient.

When system pressure and the springs are arranged to act in series—one behind the other—there is no net sealing benefit at certain points in the pressure range.

By contrast, in the FKB series medium-pressure valve, these two forces—system pressure and the springs—act on separate points on the seat carrier. Therefore, both contribute to the overall net sealing force. In Figure 1, system pressure on the upstream side acts on one step in the seat carrier, while the springs act on a second step. Together, they create a combined force adequate for sealing across the entire pressure range. This type of live-loading is termed direct loading.

An additional design challenge for medium-pressure valves concerns handle orientation. In some cases, adjacent components may prevent the quarter-turn handle from being fully actuated. The challenge is to create a handle that can be repositioned in any one of four quadrants so a technician can reposition it without having to remove the valve and modify the valve supports. This goal is achieved by introducing a stop plate between the handle and the valve body. The stop plate may be repositioned, shifting the on and off position by 90-degree increments. www.design-engineering.com

43 This chemical injection skid, fabricated by AGI Packaged Pump Systems, relies on Swagelok ball valves. Photo courtesy of AGI.

Final Testing On the two skids that AGI fabricated, there were a total of 36 valves and 452 medium-pressure tube fittings or end connections for use with SAF 2507. AGI checked all fittings with the handheld gauge.

Further, as part of their normal process, AGI tests all skids before shipping by cycling valves and pressurizing the system to its fullrated pressure. In this case, the skids showed no leaks anywhere, including at end connections or across the seat of the ball valves.

In past tests for other skids, AGI has spent as much as four hours correcting leaks. For example, in one case, the skid contained more than 100 valves, and the seats on each one had to be replaced. The initial pressurization of the system had compacted the seats and therefore the valves could not reseal as pressure in the system was being built back up.

The FKB series ball valve and medium-pressure end connections saved AGI considerable time and costs during the initial fabrication and at final testing. When a component is dependable and easy to use, there is a quantifiable savings in avoided guesswork, setbacks, reconfigurations, failed tests and delays resulting from special tools that are not readily available or parts that need to be reordered and refitted.

Additional savings are realized by the end user in reduced maintenance costs and ease of service throughout the life of the skid.
