here’s nothing like the promise of a potentially lucrative industry combined with international competition to propel a new technology forward, particularly in aerospace. In 1908, five years after the Wright brother’s first flight, the Silver Dart took off from a frozen lake near Baddeck, Nova Scotia to make Canada’s first controlled powered flight. While the original aircraft failed to find a market, its development lead to the Canadian Aerodrome Company, the first commercial enterprise in the British Empire to design and manufacture aircraft.

Similarly, the Avro Arrow, Canada’s short-lived interceptor purported to be one of the fastest and most capable of its day, ultimately lead to McDonald Detweiler and Associates and the Canadarm.

The latest of these industry nexus points centers on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

The expectation is that, within 10 years, UAVs will impact nearly every commercial aerospace sector. The technology has already been applied to GIS surveys, police investigations, cargo delivery, search and rescue, crop monitoring, humanitarian relief missions and transmission line inspection, among many other applications.

However, unlike with the Silver Dart or the Arrow, this time Canada’s contribution to a burgeoning aerospace sector isn’t riding on a single effort. This issue’s cover story profiles three Canadian UAV companies at the top of their fields, but they represent only a handful of Canada’s industry-leading players.

In addition to Aeryon Labs, Brican Flight Systems and MMIST, other notable UAV companies include Saskatoon-based Draganfly Innovation and its popular line of DraganFlyer tri- and quad-copters; Calgary’s Stratus Aeronautics and its fixed-wing Venturer; and Mississuaga-based Aeromoa with its family of AeroMapper UAVs. For all their potential, however, commercial UAVs and the companies that make them have been stuck in a virtual holding pattern, limited in growth by U.S. and global regulatory agencies rightfully concerned over their safe and responsible use.

As result, the industry is eagerly awaiting the moment when its largest and most lucrative markets will finally open.

In the meantime, Transport Canada and the Canadian UAV industry groups have been proactively pushing to make Canada a safe haven for the technology’s research and application. In addition to being one of the few countries in the world to actively permit commercial line-of-sight (LOS) UAV applications, Canada will soon become home to one of the only beyond-visual-LOS testing facilities.

In July, the Canadian Centre for Unmanned Vehicle Systems (CCUVS) announced it had received approval to manage a permanent restricted airspace area in southeastern Alberta dedicated to commercial and civil UAV R&D. Located near the Village of Foremost, the airspace is expected to cover 750 square nautical miles and up to 18,000 feet above sea level. CCUVS says the testing ground could open as soon as the end of 2014.

That timing would be fortuitous as the U.S. Federal Aviation Authority, after years of feet dragging, says it will implement its final rules governing commercial UAV use by 2016. By that time, Canadian companies will have accrued more than a decade of field-tested commercial UAV experience and technology—hopefully enough to establish air superiority in this young and highly competitive field.

Canadian engineers to build world’s fastest bike

T

he Toronto-based group, AeroVelo, best known for winning the AHS Sikorksy Prize last year with their Atlas human-powered helicopter and for building and flying the world’s first human-powered ornithopter, the Snowbird, now have their sights set on a more terrestrial record.

The design and innovation lab – lead by Chief Aerodynamicist Dr. Todd Reichert and Chief Structural Engineer Cameron Robertson – says it’s gearing up to break the human-powered land speed record with a custom designed and built speedbike called Eta. Currently, the record stands at 133.8 km/h, set by a Dutch university group last September at the World Human Powered Speed Challenge at Battle Mountain in Nevada. However, AeroVelo says its Eta bike, currently in production, is projected to blow past its Dutch rivals at a top speed of 145 km/h.

The new bike’s design is informed by the group’s R&D vehicle, BlueNose, which has already hit a top speed of 125Km/h. Based on extensive on-road and track testing of BlueNose, the new bike will benefit from improved efficiency in every area, the group says, including a more aerodynamic shape, lower drag wheels, lightweight composite construction and increased drivetrain efficiency.

In addition to Reichert and Robertson, the group is composed of engineering students and volunteers. Connected to the University of Toronto, the group serves as an experiential learning program for engineering students to apply their knowledge to real world design problems.

“Engineering for a human-engine fosters creativity and ingenuity thus providing an eye-opening experience to our students and inspiring youth and the general public,” says Cameron. “Team members will go out into industry and society knowing how to do more with less, ready to solve the formidable challenges facing our generation.”

At press time, the Eta speedbike was in the prototyping and construction stage but the team says they will have the final build ready for the World Human-Powered Speed Challenge in Battle Mountain in September. www.aerovelo.com

Approximately the size of a shoe box, the team’s “P-Pod” nanosatellite measures about 10x10x30cm and weighs less than 4kg. Although small, the cubesat still incorporates all the systems of a larger satellite including power, attitude control and communication.

In addition, UVic’s ECOSat contains a scientific payload and will carry out a number of experiments during its space flight.

Chief among them will be to test the satellite’s magnetic torque attitude system which will work in conjunction with a diamagnetic pyrolytic graphite and high powered laser system to influence the pitch and roll of the satellite. In addition, the ECOSat will test the fluorescence and radiation shielding potential of pyrolytic graphite, as well as function as an open source Amateur Radio Relay. www.csdc.uvic.ca

According to the Association For Manufacturing Technology (AMT), U.S. manufacturing technology orders topped US$405 million in June 2014. This total, as reported by companies participating in the USMTO program, was up 12.6% from May but down 2.1% when compared with the total of US$414 million reported for June 2013. With a year-to-date total of US$2,349 million, 2014 is down 2.7% compared with 2013.

“Order gains in June were driven by two factors – the end of the quarter and continued strength in key customer industries, especially automotive, aerospace, medical and energy,” said AMT President Douglas K. Woods. “What really warrants attention, however, is a rise in the average value of orders, as this suggests manufacturers are making investments in greater productivity as well as capacity. Our forecasts suggest continued moderate growth throughout the rest of the year and going into 2015.” www.amtonline.org

Presumably, the adapter is based on the FDM process, but the company says it’s working on developing the technology to include other additive manufacturing processes.

Hybrid machines, combining both additive and subtractive processes, are at the forefront of manufacturing technologies.

Similar initiatives include the Matsuura Lumex Avance-25, which provides both metal laser sintering and 5-axis machining and Trumpf ’s DepositionLine, a laser welding technology that adds metallic material to existing components.

Hurco says it will unveil the 3D printer adapter at the International Machine Tool Show in Chicago later this year, to coincide with the introduction of its latest machines and CNC machine control. www.hurco.com

SOLID EDGE S Latest version of Siemens PLM’s mid-range MCAD modeler packs hundreds of welcomed enhancements.

by Ralph Grabowski

S

olid Edge is the low-key, mid-range MCAD modeler from Siemens PLM Software, and ST7 is the name of this year’s release. More than 500,000 people use the software, yet it doesn’t have the mindshare of a SolidWorks or Inventor.

Solid Edge has five environments in which you work in either metric or imperial units; this is similar to most other MCAD modelers today. The modes are part, assembly, sheet metal, weldment and drawing. ST is short for Synchronous Technology, the unique form of direct modeling and editing technology developed in-house by Siemens.

It is facilitated by Live Rules that make intelligent guesses at how faces, planes, axes and so on best fit together.

Looking through the official What’s New book, I see that there are some changes in ST7 that are minor, like a new startup screen; others are middling changes, like improved JT import; but

others are major, like the ability to convert solid models to sheet metal forms or frames. In this article, I highlight a few of the items that are new in the user interface and the five modeling modes.

Installation and User Interface For this review, I worked with a late beta, installing Solid Edge ST7 on a Windows 8 computer with a 23-inch touchscreen. This computer is somewhat anemic, running just a dual-core Pentium CPU with integrated Intel graphics, albeit at 2.8GHz with 8GB RAM and a solid state drive. I found Solid Edge was sufficiently usable on it for writing this review, but I recommend a more robust system for production work.

The minimum install takes up 4.5GB, which includes the free Keyshot rendering program. Optional installs include: Data migration, Electrode design, Mold tooling, Standard parts administration, Machinery

and piping libraries and Clients for Insight, SharePoint, and TeamCenter data management systems.

At Solid Edge University (SEU) 2014 earlier this year, Siemens PLM demo’ed ST7 on a Surface Pro 2 tablet to show that their new software worked well with touchscreens, (see figure 1). I wanted to see this for myself, as nearly all other CAD vendors have ignored new capabilities in Windows 8.x and related touchscreens.

Here are the actions that operate on touchscreens: n Single tap selects UI elements n Double tap selects an object n Long tap displays right-click menus n Single-finger drag rotates in 3D n Two-finger drag pans, zooms and/or rotates in 3D, depending on how the fingers move I was pleased to see that the touch interface works so well that a 3D mouse wouldn’t be needed – an input device that I have never figured out how to use properly.

Sheet Metal and Frames I wanted to talk about sheet metal first, www.design-engineering.com

14-17-DES.indd 15

because here Solid Edge gains a significant edge over its competitors. With the click of a single button (Tools > Transform > Part to Sheet Metal), ST7 can convert a 3D part to sheet metal, complete with bends and cutouts. A dialog box lets us adjust options (see figure 2).

Now, I put the emphasis on “can,” because I quickly found that not any solid model is converted: Simple prismatic shapes work best. At first, it did not work at all for me; then tech support told me that synchronous parts must first be switched to ordered mode.

A similar function is available for developing frames, which are placed along the edges of the solid. In both cases, Solid Edge borrowed the technologies from NX, its bigger, older, more powerful stepbrother.

2D and 3D Sketches Solid Edge gives us the ability to now make 3D sketches in part mode, as well in sheet metal and assembly modes. 3D sketches are popular for parts generated from sweeps or guide curves.

3D primitives like boxes and spheres can be made directly, without needing to first draw a sketch – something AutoCAD users will find normal. Other new functions that other CAD users are familiar with include holding down the Shift key to lock line drawing at 15-degree increments and to lock the Rectangle command to drawing squares.

Curve Length fixes the length of 3D curves; as you move the endpoints, the curves flatten or bulge to accommodate the fixed length – this is useful when working with wires and hoses.

Assemblies Parts become assemblies using relationships, and so ST7 now gives us more of them.

Tangents now support offsets. Many relaSeptember | 2014

Several relationships now remember their last settings.

Solid Edge ST7 now creates simplified BOMs (parts lists) of simplified assemblies. We can use Undo and Redo commands following Update All Links or Peer Variable Edit commands.

The hole detection algorithm now detects patterns in patterns; this is particularly useful when working with parts imported from other CAD systems. Parts can be patterned into assemblies, like an array of lightbulb sockets on a placard.

Similarly, parts can be patterned along 3D curves to quickly place steps on a spiral staircase.

There are lots of new ways to control the trimming of frames to other frames and parts. For instance, you can select more than one frame to trim them to an irregular intersection.

TraceParts and Russian GOST join component suppliers Cadenas and GrabCAD. Last year, Solid Edge was the first CAD package to publish directly to GrabCAD, and this year GrabCAD reciprocated by licensing Parasolid from Siemens PLM for its Workbench online collaboration software (see figure 3) to more accurately display solid models from Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Vectorworks and other CAD packages.

Drawings Draft mode is where the largest number of SE7 changes take place, and the biggest cheers at Solid Edge University were, as always, for improvements to 2D drafting. This year, the loudest cheer of all was for the automatic spacing of coordinate dimensions. These dimensions can be grouped, so that when we adjust the position of one, the others move along.

In related changes in SE7, we can now relocate the origin to another coordinate dimension using the Home > Dimension > Automatic Coordinate Dimension > Change Coordinate Origin command; the practical effects are that drawings now can have negative coordinate dimensions, and that in detail views coordinate dimensions can reference the origin in the master view.

Tables and parts lists have more editing functions. We can save settings for different kinds of parts lists, specifically for small, medium-size and large assemblies.

Assembly Part View lets us place parts dragged from assembly views, with the views retaining their part numbers; no need to number them. When hiding geometry with clipping planes, a new shading highlights what will be removed from sight. Better yet, the clipping plane is associative and so adjusts when the

original model changes. Conveniently, we can use centerlines as clipping planes.

Another new function creates blank features, where 3D parts are flattened in a way that approximates the amount of flat material needed to produce the 3D part – whether sheet metal, stamped parts or fabric designs. At SEU, we saw this demo’ed with an automobile seat cover: A single click created the flat pattern of cloth.

One of the failings of Solid Edge is the scarcity of third-party applications, of which Siemens PLM say they have “over 500.”

This is puzzling to me as there were maybe 20 vendors exhibiting at SEU. To make applications more accessible to end users, the company plans to launch an on-line app store.

Siemens PLM claims there are 1,300 enhancements in this new release of Solid Edged, and so this is but a brief overview of what I found interesting in ST7. In an era when some CAD vendors rely on automatic subscription renewals to keep enhancements to a minimum, it’s encouraging to see Siemens PLM still packing in hundreds of enhancements and so making the upgrade worthwhile.

3D Printing for PYROS Raytheon uses additive manufacturing for final production of its latest small tactical weapon.

“That’s the beauty of 3D printing,” says Smith. “Let’s say we realize we need to add a component. Normally, one new component would require a whole new series of tools. With additive manufacturing, adding the new detail is faster; adjust the 3D model and re-print.”

RapidPrototyping “Additive manufacturing plays an important role in assembly, performance and affordability because it gives us more options to grow and make parts with a lot less touch labor,” says Smith. “We’re still learning how powerful additive manufacturing can be. It has a lot of potential, not just for Pyros but for the next generation of weapons.”

Additive manufacturing affords integration of features directly into the geometry (such as attachment features and fittings, mounting brackets, control surfaces), eliminating manual labor. The nature of the manufacturing process also provides complete control over incremental changes in control surfaces or tolerances.

For Pyros, control surfaces are critical; the weapon system is not self-propelled and therefore requires control surfaces to aid in its descent. It relies on fins and two frames of reference, a GPS and a semi-active laser.

“With 3-dimensional coordinates for its GPS, Pyros knows exactly where it’s at, allowing us to direct it within 3 meters of where we want to be,” says Smith. “For moving targets, or targets within buildings, Pyros is equipped with a laser guidance system with demonstrated accuracy within 1 meter. The heat from the laser works as a sensor, which Pyros follows. All this direction and information is processed simultaneously, making accurate fin movement in accordance with the GPS and laser

information quite crucial to the success of its mission.”

Raytheon worked with custom manufacturing company Solid Concepts on different components and iterations of Pyros. Smith plans to re-work the munition’s guiding fins using additive manufacturing, as the fins are imperative in the system’s directional motions.

Smith says additive manufacturing aided in reducing the weapon system’s weight, which was an important consideration for Pyros as the munitions is intended for small UAS with a payload ranging from 5 – 100lbs and a large portion of that weight remains with the warhead itself. Special material compositions in conjunction with 3D printing yielded light, strong units resistant to harsh environments.

Pyros embodies a potent weapon, light yet powerful; 3D printing early via prototyping cut down on costs, and continuing into production helped solve weight and tolerance problems. Pyros provides a glimpse into what the future of weapons manufacturing may incorporate.

Rise of the

DRONES

Built for hazardous conditions, Aeryon Labs’ highly portable SkyRanger UAV can be deployed anywhere and perform in 90 kph winds.

Pump it up.

Lock it down.

LOCTITE® Threadlockers are the most reliable way to secure threaded assemblies.

Canadian Unmanned Aerial System technology posed to swarm growing UAV industry.

T

hey go by many names, but whether they’re Unmanned Aerial Systems, Unattended Aerial Vehicles or simply drones, the sophistication and ruggedness of modern UAV systems has developed well beyond the hobbyist radio-controlled aircraft some of these miniature flyers resemble.

Capable of autonomous as well as remotely piloted flight, today’s UAV systems can fly from hours up to a day or more without landing, refuelling or reprogramming, in adverse winds and weather conditions.

Equipped with myriad sensors coupled with sophisticated control architectures, they are, in essence, robotic aircraft, tasked with missions deemed too dangerous or laborious for human pilots.

While the term “drone” has a doubleedged connotation, it’s the commercial uses of UAV systems that has many investors scrambling to strap in to an industry poised to climb sharply. According to the Teal Group’s 2014 market study, global UAV spending will grow to approximately US$91 billion in the next decade. Of that, the research firm estimates the civilian segment will expand to 14 percent (approximately US$12.7 billion) of the total market by the end of its 10-year forecast.

Those heady numbers, however, depend on reform of the regulations governing commercial UAVs. In most industrialized nations, drone use is severely restricted. In the U.S., for example, the FAA has banned all commercial drone use until it implements new mandated regulations for UAVs under 55 pounds by 2015. Other industrialwww.design-engineering.com

20-25-DES.indd 21

ized nations are similarly struggling to set parameters for their use.

Canada, however, has been at the vanguard of commercial UAV usage, says Robert Kendall, executive director of Unmanned Systems Canada, a non-profit industry association for the Canadian UAS community. At present, Transport Canada does require possession of a Special Flight Operation Certificate for commercial applications, but the fact that such permits are available at all, Kendall says, puts Canada way ahead in the industry.

“UAVs are now being commercially used in the oil and gas industry, forestry, agriculture and mining and everywhere in Canada, from the Arctic right through to Southern Ontario,” he says. “As one person said, where we have come, from the Wright Brothers to today in aviation, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are making that same transition in one tenth the time.”

The Evolution of Drones The potential of UAV systems has tipped into popular consciousness in only the past few years, but Canadian aerospace engineers have been developing drone technology since the middle of the last century. In 1963, Canadair (which later formed the core of Bombardier Aerospace) created Canada’s first drone, a rocket-launched reconnaissance UAV, called the CL-89, for Canadian and European militaries. Once airborne, the CL-89—and its larger sibling, the CL-289—flew conventionally by means of a turbo jet engine to collected images and sensor data along a pre-programmed flight path.

Capable of flying continuously for more than 24 hours, Brican Flight Systems’ TD100 UAV is designed to perform tasks too hazardous for manned flights.

form the same function in both military and civilian roles, but at a fraction of the cost and with greatly expanded capabilities. In the sUAS space, Aeryon Labs may be the best known for its quad-copter drones equipped with remotely controllable HD video, still and IR-sensitive cameras.

“We play at the very high-end of the market,” says Dave Kroetsch, president and CEO of Waterloo-based Aeryon Labs. “If you are a police officer or a soldier, you may be facing gunfire while using our product. That doesn’t apply to our commercial customers but, from a product design point of view, we put a lot of emphasis on ease-of-use. That is, being able to hand our system to anybody— even someone who isn’t a pilot and may be under stressful conditions—and have them get the job done.”

Established in 2007, Aeryon Labs markets two sUAVs. It’s original, the Scout, made headlines in 2011 during the Libyan Revolution against Muammar Gaddafi. Rebels used the small Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) drone to gain reconnaissance on enemy positions during some of the heaviest fighting in the war torn city of Misrata.

Weighing three pounds, the Scout packs into a suitcase but flies for approximately half an hour at altitudes up to 15,000 ft. above sea level. In addition, the company says it operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -30 to 50°C and in wind gusts up to 80 kph (50 kph sustained). The SkyRanger—the Scout’s larger brother released last year—can fly nearly twice as long with bigger payloads in wind gusts of 90 kph and beyond line of sight up to three miles.

As with any professional-grade drone, Aeryon’s UAVs fly themselves; users program either via a point-and-click touch screen navigation system. According to Kroetsch, it’s this combination a highly accessible control system paired with rugged hardware that separates a true UAV from an RC toy. www.design-engineering.com

20-25-DES.indd 23

“It’s not just one thing; it’s a lot of little things,” he say. “In our case, it’s the very specific components we select. For example, we use things like motors designed for industrial high and low temperature range applications, carbon fibre propellers and digitally encrypted networks. Put all those things together and that’s what defines the overall user experience.”

Non-Stop Flight While small, VTOL drones like Aeryon’s excel at quick deployment in localized areas, some applications require an aircraft that can stay aloft longer and cover a wider area. Inspecting long stretches of remote hydro lines or oil pipelines, surveying the health of large crop fields and even monitoring wildlife populations are uses tailored to fixed-wing UAVs. “There are a lot of pilots losing their lives because of conditions in remote areas, specifically where there is a hazard to the pilot — either through weather, terrain or shear boredom,” says Brian McLuckie, president of Brampton, ON-based Brican Flight Systems. “I think we were the first to recognize that the users of this technology want to employ UAVs so that the hazard to pilots is removed.”

Given that, McLuckie says the company developed its fixed-wing TD100 UAS to provide the widest applicability. Its 5-meter wing-span and 2-meter fuselage, combined with a carbon composite airframe, make for a light aircraft with a large payload capacity.

In addition, the UAS can maintain a 120 kph cruising speed at up to nearly 15,000 feet.

In addition, the TD100 is highly modular, McLuckie says. For example, the aircraft can be outfitted with either an electric motor and battery—for shorter flights carrying noise and vibration sensitive payloads—or with a high efficiency multi-fuel engine for applications requiring heavier payloads and flight September | 2014

Our Fit Will Impress.

time up to 25 hours.

The TD100 capabilities have made it popular with scientific and environmental surveys, McLuckie says. For example, the National Research Council (NRC) adopted the TD100 as its “platform of choice” last year for the agency’s Civilian Unmanned Aircraft Systems program (CivUAS). It has also been employed by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans to capture images of Bowhead whales in its annual population counting and tracking studies.

However, the system is now making headway in defense applications as well. The Canadian Navy has contracted Brican to use the TD100 for anti-submarine surveillance.

“We’re using the same sensor technology on our UAV as would go into a CP-140 or a CH-124 Sea King,” McLuckie says. “The difference is that 10 UAVs could be launched and swarmed at altitudes from 300 to 10,000 feet. We can give the Canadian Navy a tool that should enhance sub detection by 10 fold at a fraction of the cost.”

Cargo Carrier Cutting costs from traditionally commercial air transport is a goal shared by Ottawa-based MMIST. Contrary to Aeryon and Brican’s relatively small, rotor-copter and fixed-wing systems, the company manufactures steerable parafoil UAVs designed to deliver heavy loads precisely over long distances.

“Within the UAV community, the vast majority are focused on small aircraft that stay within the comfort level of sport RC aircraft,” says Sean McCann, CEO of MMIST. “We’re not that company. We believe the UAV community has to bring itself in line with existing aviation standards.” www.design-engineering.com

20-25-DES.indd 25

For MMIST, that distinction is important since it’s systems can carry payloads of approximately 4.5 metric tonnes, well beyond the under 55 pound weight limit the FAA’s forthcoming regulations will put on commercial UAVs. To date, however, MMIST’s customer-base has been largely in the defense market. Roughly 19 militaries currently use the company’s Sherpa family of Precision Aerial Delivery Systems (PADS).

In essence a guided parachute, the Sherpa uses GPS together with on-board sensors to pilot cargo or infantry to a pre-programmed location. Dropped from an airplane, the UAV can carry up to 10,000 pounds and land within 100 meters of its target.

While the Sherpa has been successful with militaries, the company sees the biggest growth potential in its powered UAV. Similar in concept to the Sherpa, the CQ-10 “SnowGoose” incorporates a propeller driven by a 110hp Rotax engine, which gives it significant range. For example, loaded with 100 lbs. of cargo, the UAV can fly for up to 15 hours or a range of 800 km. And unlike the Sherpa, the SnowGoose is fully autonomous, capable of returning home after cargo delivery without ground support.

“In places without dependable infrastructure, if you can move cargo with fixed-wing aircraft, there is a huge cost savings from reduced fuel consumption,” McCann says.

“Whether the application is military, commercial or humanitarian, they all share the same attributes; the technology has to be safe and economical. That’s the theme we’re working on.”

A CALL for HELP Push pull connectors show versatility in transit emergency communications application.

C

harles Boyce remembers the precise moment he figured out how to connect power and data for a new wireless radio feature into his patented Help Point. His company, Boyce Technologies, is manufacturing thousands of these Help Point customer communications panels for New York’s subway system.

The vertical Help Point, which can be located on columns or walls, provides a two-way intercom to the station booth for information and to the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s rail control centre for emergencies. The control centre can identify the station where the call originates and address each Help Point individually. Installation of the access points are scheduled for all of NYC’s 468 subway stations over the next several years.

While Boyce’s training and professional background is in communications engineering, he has great interest in mechanical, electrical and other engineering disciplines. He enjoys developing products even more than he enjoys managing his company and particularly likes taking components apart to modify them to use in novel ways.

Two years ago, he and his engineering team had outfitted a Motorola AP7161 access point with a custom chassis to fit the Help Point, which measures just under eight inches wide. On the Saturday morning before a scheduled Monday demonstration for the MTA of this radio-equipped units, Boyce was sitting in one of his Long Island, NY manufacturing facilities, feeling stressed. “We just could not figure out how we were going to get power and data in and out of this enclosure,” he recalls.

As it happens, a HARTING representative was coming in to talk connectors. Boyce is a self-confessed lover of samples, but this time the presentation was distracting at first: “I am sitting there thinking, ‘You just don’t understand, you’re trying to sell me stuff, and you’ve got some cool stuff, but I have a real problem today.’”

At that moment, Boyce noticed the cast RJ45 insert from a HARTING PushPull sample sitting apart from the housing, and the idea hit him: “‘That’s it. We can take that insert of the Variant 4 RJ45 and swage it into our new AP7161 chassis.’ And we did. It’s part of our production unit now. The RF properties are met by the metallic RJ45, the RJ45 sits on a pin we mill in so it gets locked permanently in place.”

Such experiences underscore the flexibility and expansion September | 2014

Boyce Technologies’ Help Point terminals provide a two-way information and emergency intercom for New York City transit riders.

of field-installable push pull technology to address the complexity of communications networks. Push pull connectors fit two size classifications: Variant 4 and Variant 14. The smaller Variant 4 (IEC 61076-3-106) typically requires no more installation space than an M12 connector and is used widely in distributed networks like customer communications products such as CCTV cameras and security systems. They are ideal for harsh environments, which addressed Boyce’s need for ruggedized connectors for the transit environment.

Boyce’s engineering team has made considerable use in Help Points of Variant 4 models because of that compactness. The face of the HARTING PushPull Hybrid is essentially 20mm square, fitting comfortably where the slimmest standard industrial connectors are a squeeze. Long a user of 3A size connectors, Boyce tried one in an early Help Point prototype, but MTA officials complained of breaking fingernails trying to move the external locking lever in that crowded enclosure.

By contrast, push pull connectors have an internal locking mechanism. Boyce’s team adopted a variety of HARTING models, taking advantage of their modularity and configurability. There are multiple Help Point variants because there are many installations that require different types of power, control, data, etc.

“We were able to use [push pull connectors] for every single thing we wanted to do, whether it was controlling gates, or fans, whether it was gigabit Ethernet, power or PoE, fiber, AC power [and] DC power,” he says. “We were able to come up with a use for every single Variant 4 and every single pin.”

For data input, he typically uses an overmolded HARTING RJ45 PushPull cable assembly; for AC power in, a three-pin www.design-engineering.com

14-08-26 1:48 PM

DesignApplications 27 model; for DC power in, a four-pin version. With the latter, Pins 1 and 2 provide power, while Pins 3 and 4 monitor the current for battery charging. In the future, a 10-pin HARTING PushPull Signal I/O will be used for control signals from the processor to open gates and control equipment outside the Help Point.

Boyce also expects to use a 20-pin model for additional contact closures and for use in remote Help Points so they can function with reduced electronics.

The seven-pin Hybrid – three pins for power, four for data, up to 5A each – is perhaps his favorite. In some Help Points, the Hybrid is used as a straight DC feed – plus and minus voltage.

In others, it provides a dual DC feed: Circuit 1 and ground on two pins, circuit 2 on the third pin, and then four data pins for monitoring power systems over Ethernet. There was some skepticism at the MTA that the IP 65/67-rated Hybrid could withstand the rigors of the transit environment, but Boyce says there hasn’t been a single failure in over two years.

He plans to deploy a fiber optic-to-Ethernet converter with push pull connectors to switch between fiber optic and RJ45.

“That will break that 100 meter Ethernet limitation where we have subway stations that are 600 feet long – that’s the simplest way to do it.” He also expects to give future Help Points more radios and antennas – up to six – to point down the tunnel towards the train. That would be possible with an RF push pull.

HARTING’s PushPull Hybrid provided a rugged connector interface for Help Point terminals.

“Because of the density of the Variant 4 connector, we will be able to use 3x3 MIMO [Multiple Input Multiple Output] as an external antenna to point down towards the train. By using the directional antenna to establish a very early Ethernet link, we can start to provide life safety communications and security video for trains off the Help Points.”

Charging

Canadian-made Daymak Drive System reduces range anxiety for electric bike riders.

By Treena Hein

I

t’s the 21st century, so shouldn’t there be a ‘smart’ electric bicycle that recharges itself using solar energy, with operational displays and control available through a handy smartphone app? The answer is yes, and Canadian firm behind it is Torontobased Daymak. The company is now putting the finishing touches on its new patent-pending ‘Daymak Drive System,’ an ebike self-charging system made up of wireless and wired controllers, rechargeable battery, solar panels and a wireless throttle.

“The DDS was created to answer questions that kept coming up, such as ‘How far can I go on a full charge?’” says Michael Chow, Daymak’s vice president of research and development.

“We realized we needed a means to provide self-charging and storing capacity in our next generation of ebikes. The DDS enables driving 10 km a day without needing to charge the batteries using an external power source.”

DDS development began with the Daymak Shadow, the world’s first wireless electric bicycle, in 2009. The Shadow’s Bluetooth app handles the engagement of personal pedal-assist September | 2014

32-33-DES.indd 32

modes, and integrates GPS, odometer, speedometer, trip data, altitude, battery life and complete system usage history.

The DDS’s self-charging capabilities build on this wireless capacity, integrating four systems that communicate with one another: The motorized wheel, the throttle assembly, the pedal assist system (PAS) and the smart key. The PAS increases output power in the 250W motor if the rider begins to pedal, and the smart key is a remote control for the motorized wheel assembly, which can be installed as part of the rear wheel for any standard bicycle frame supporting a 26-inch tire.

“The throttle assembly is mounted on the handlebars, enabling the rider to easily engage the motor by simply rotating it forward,” Chow explains. “The PAS high/low speed switch and on/off switch use the same wireless process, relaying information from the transmitter inside the throttle housing to the receiver inside the wheel housing, onto the controller, and finally to the motor.”

In terms of design challenges, Chow and his team needed to develop a shock absorber system that reduced vibration and also adequately distributed the weight of the batteries and motor onto the axle and outer casing. www.design-engineering.com

14-08-26 1:49 PM

CanadianInnovator “We ended up creating an octagon-shaped frame for the batteries, and attached leaf springs to the shock absorber system attached to this frame,” he notes. “There’s an outer ring and an inner ring to the shock absorbers, and we thought motor/axle vibration could be reduced by using concave flex in the outer ring and convex flex in the inner one. However, placing the leaf springs between the rings to do this didn’t provide the uniform, concentric compression in a limited space that was needed.”

Coil springs worked, but the outer ring diameter had to be expanded in order to almost double the clearance between the inner and outer rings. “The weight of the entire shock absorber system and battery pack meant that the support length of the axle needed to be almost doubled to provide bearing support,” Chow says. “And we had to make the axle solid instead of hollow.

This revised setup provides a good cradle for the motor, but it’s a bit heavy, so our research continues.”

Space was also a primary design concern, with the PAS, motor, batteries, solar panels, battery management system board and controller all needing to be contained within the wheel.

Over time, Chow and his team developed a cylindrical battery pack that wrapped nicely around the motor housing. They also developed foldable solar cells that covered the front and rear sides of the motor housing. Everything needed to be integrated within outer housing that let light through.

“It had to be transparent enough to allow most of the sunlight

spectra in, but also be tough enough that the physical impact of stones and so on that fly up from the road would not affect solar charging performance,” Chow explains. “We tried plexiglass, which is light but wasn’t tough enough. Polycarbonate composite plastic needed a hard coating that scratched easily as well, so we’re now using tempered glass. It’s very tough and provides 88% of light transmission.”

Ongoing work on the DDS involves looking at lighter materials and next-generation battery packs that will further extend driving range. “We’ll also be using the latest solar panel technology as it develops and is available on the market,” Chow says.

“The efficiency of solar cells today is not fully maximized.”

The DDS system will be available on the market in early 2015.

Daymak has already received numerous accolades for its ebikes and their associated technology. The Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation has recognized it as one of the province’s ‘Greenest Companies,’ and it’s also received the ‘Cleantech North Award.’ Its wares have also received awards such as ‘Most Innovative Product’ at the International CES electronics and technology tradeshow.

“We already have a name for ourselves, and we hope the DDS system will achieve widespread market acceptance,” Chow says.

“Having an ebike that uses the sun to recharge is an idea whose time has come.”

Clearpath Robotics vows ‘No killer robots’

Clearpath Robotics has pledged that its technology, including these Grizzly Robotic Utility Vehicles, won’t be developed as autonomous “killers”.

I

t might sound like something out of a science fiction novel but, according Clearpath Robotics, development of killer robots is a near-future danger that needs to be banned now.

The Kitchener-based company—makers of autonomous land and water robotic vehicles—is the first robotics firm to sign on with the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, an international coalition of non-governmental organizations working to ban

fully autonomous weapons.

Although Clearpath currently works with military clients, it says it will refuse to manufacture weaponized robots that remove humans from the decision loop. In an open letter, Clearpath co-founder and CTO, Ryan Gariepy, writes: “This technology has the potential to kill indiscriminately and to proliferate rapidly; early prototypes already exist. Despite our continued involvement with Canadian and international military research and development, Clearpath Robotics believes that the development of killer robots is unwise, unethical and should be banned on an international scale.”

For the purposes of the pledge, Clearpath defines killer robot as Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) that can carry out potentially deadly missions without a human issuing the final kill command.

In the letter, the company acknowledges that such robotic weapons could have the upside of removing panic-driven decisions from combat but also stresses that they equally lack “morality, sense, or emotional understanding.”

“We encourage those who might see business opportunities in this technology to seek other ways to apply their skills and resources for the betterment of humankind,” Gariepy’s letter concludes. “Finally, we ask everyone to consider the many ways in which this technology would change the face of war for the worse.” www.clearpathrobotics.com

42 MotionControl: News internally developed PyPot robot control software library.

Standing 85cm tall, the diminutive robot weighs only 3.5 kg and replicates a natural human gait via a semi-passive knee joint assisted by traction springs. In addition, the robot’s multi-articulated trunk houses five motors allowing the reproduction of the main DOFs of the human spine. In total, Poppy relies on 22 motors to actuate its leg, hip, spine, arm and neck joints.

The robot’s latticed body parts are laser sintered from polyamide material to keep weight down but still provide a stiff skeletal structure to support it’s motors and electronics. Its Arduino controller, control software and physical design support numerous sensors types including position, speed, load, temperature, acceleration and pressure.

To keep programmability within the reach of amateur roboticists, Poppy’s PyPot controller library is coded in the open source Python language and works on multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, OSX). With it, programmers can synchronize up to 10 motors on the same bus at 100Hz. In addition, the software allows for synchronous/asynchronous low-level motor commands, hierarchical high-level primitives and remote access (via socket or HTTP requests).

According to the researchers, assembling Poppy’s either off-the-shelf or 3D printed components takes two to three days and, overall, costs relatively little for this type of robot — 7500-8000 euros (approximately CAD$10,850 – $11,570). However, the group hopes that releasing this educational project enclosure surface to the Creative Commons will spur the hacker community to figure out ways to bring the size and shape price tag lower still.

Pneumatic rod lock assemblies stabilize A-10 Warthog airframe, maintain structural integrity during and after major repairs.

uring the maintenance and repair operations of A-10 Warthog aircraft at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, a product design from Advanced Machine & Engineering (AME) helps maintain the structural integrity of this heavy airframe. The company’s AMLOK pneumatic rod locks keep the load steady and ensure the aircraft will return to flight in its proper configuration. Boeing designed and built the fixtures for the Air Force and specified the rod locks, 28 on each of five fixtures constructed for use at the Air Force base.

Shane Hatfield, sales manager at AME, led his team in the design and delivery of the rod locks to Boeing, who subcontracted the building of the fixtures to John Wisker and his team at WB Industries of O’Fallon, Missouri, also near St. Louis.

In use, each rod lock holds up to 5,000 lbs. and maintains position with 0.002-0.003-inch maximum backlash and repeatable positioning. The AMLOK design functions by holding the cylinder rod and locking the load in place, when air pressure is removed. Only when the pressure is restored can the load be released. This power-off clamping protects operators and workload alike.

The Air Force contracted Boeing to produce a series of fixtures to help perform major structural repair operations on the A-10.

This was a new product design, conceived by Boeing, to solve the problem of holding the massive A-10 airframe in position while major structural sections were removed and replaced. In application, the rod locks provide a means of attaching the main fixture to the aircraft structure without introducing any external load to the structure.

This fact is key to the overall repair operation, as the original shape of the craft must remain consistent during and after the repair. And since the locking feature on the rod lock is activated when the pneumatic power is removed, it prevents inadvertent activation of the lock during the repair process, increasing technician safety.

Another aspect of the AME rod lock design is that they provide an uncomplicated, easy-to-install interface between the main September | 2014

repair fixture and the surface of the fuselage on the aircraft, doing so in a way that prevents the introduction of positive or negative loads to the fuselage in the resting position. Prior to start-up of operations, laser tracking measurements of the A-10 Warthog fuselage were consistently monitored by Boeing personnel during the initial prototype repair processes.

In operation, rod locks are positioned at seven points on both sides of the fuselage along its entire length to provide adequate structural support. These points of contact also provide convenient attachment points on the aircraft, in relation to the components typically installed. In removing and replacing large sections of the fuselage, excess pressures can be exerted on the airframe, a potential cause of distortion.

“The size and weight of the aircraft necessitated a unique solution,” notes Jack Bucheit, the lead tool engineer at the Boeing facility in St. Louis. “Our requirements exceeded the capacity of the standard rod locks catalogued by AME in size and weight ranges. AME stepped up and developed, then tested and supplied a specific rod lock designed to our specifications for this application. The performance was in line with all our expectations.”

Others on the Boeing team included Jerry Dunmire, A-10 program manager, Dan Dudley, project manager and Brad Moore, tool engineer.

The AMLOK rod locks on these fixtures minimize the overtravel, drifting, bouncing and reverse travel often encountered in pneumatic motion applications, according to the engineers.

46 MotionControl: Roundtable

Motion 2014 Control ROUNDTABLE Canada’s motion control leaders discuss the resurgence of North American manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and the outlook for the industry.

DE: Over the past year or two, there has been debate about a manufacturing renaissance in the U.S. driven, in part, by greater reliance on automation. Is this trend having an impact in Canada?

Dave Buckley – Industrial Automation Products Manager, Motion Industries Canada: The situation is pure and simple.

For any manufacturer in North America to survive internationally, they need to either manufacture somewhere like China or automate. As an example, the greatest advances in automation have been made by North American automotive manufacturers.

If you compare walking through a GM plant 10 years ago, to walking through one today, it’s like night and day. The good news is they are making a better product at a better price.

The bad news is a lot of people are unemployed, which is a downside to automation, but there is no going back to the pre2008 manufacturing levels. This trend is being felt in Canada because we’re in the same situation as anyone trying to compete on the world stage. I think the future of companies that integrate and/or sell automation components will be very successful because this market will continue to grow.

Ron Dusseldorp – Division Marketing Manager, Parker Hannifin Canada: The improving U.S. economy bodes well for Canadian manufacturers exporting to the U.S. It’s not booming, but it is certainly moving in the right direction. There’s also an

element of re-shoring taking place. There are a number of factors contributing to that. Sometimes it’s the quality of the products coming from off-shore locations; sometimes it’s time to market. In some instances, we are seeing North American customers who have initiatives to source domestically.

At the same time, manufacturers continue to work on improving productivity and reduce costs. Automation is an important part of that equation. So, narrowing the gaps versus off-shore costs, plus some of the initiatives mentioned, stimulate domestic procurement of products and continue to drive our business.

Joe Ottenhof — Regional Manager Canada, Beckhoff Automation: It’s hard to say. Based on the order levels at our company, we are cautiously optimistic that’s happening here. The reason is that the trend has been toward more high technology components being sold in the product mix. That makes me think we have more advanced automation going on within our core markets – machine builders, automotive, aerospace, etc – which are representative of manufacturing across Canada. Looking at the mix from our U.S. colleagues, we see the same thing.

Steve Woitas—Motion Solutions Specialist, Omron Canada: The industry has never been harder to read. The U.S. economy is helping us with demand, but there is a concern that it may be driven by low interest rates that are leading customers to borrow a lot of money to fund projects. The question then is what will happen when and if there is an interest rate hike? Demand has also been very volatile. There will be two months of activity and then maybe one to three months of not much. It also seems like there aren’t many big projects. Instead, there is a lot of retrofit business, where customers are trying to keep existing automation and upgrade individual components. When you redesign, you can build using all the newest products available, but when you retrofit, you’re stuck with the engineering done in the past, and you have to make things work within those parameters.

DE: While realization of the Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things concepts may be years away, what influence, if any, are they playing in product development/trends presently? www.design-engineering.com

14-08-27 11:15 AM

MotionControl: Roundtable 47 Buckley – Motion: The sad fact is that, once again, European manufacturers are ahead of North America. The influence of those concepts is non-existent in Canada. But, given that North American manufacturers need to automate to survive, in this process of automating, you are also facilitating the machine/ Internet concept of the future. If you use a robot to do something, it’s controlled by a computer and run by software which inherently makes it adaptable to the greater concept of Internet data collection and utilization, forecasting, reacting, etc. However, what we are seeing too often is customers automating a piece of a process without regards to the whole picture. The problem is that the newly automated process may now become incompatible when it comes time to automate the entire process. There still isn’t much forward thinking in automating.

Dusseldorp – Parker: It’s still in the early stages, but we see it influencing two areas. The first is connectivity. As you connect on a greater scale, it becomes imperative to connect with more devices and operating protocols. The whole challenge of interface and devices talking to each other has to be considered. Any interfaces you have to add in to the system create complexity.

The connectivity piece, on a wider scale, becomes a real challenge. You have to make it easy for a customer to accomplish that in their networks. The other part is what I’ll call health

“Growth continues to be largely in electro-mechanical actuators.

monitoring and intelligence. As you move toward systems predicting their failure and maintenance requirement, new types of sensors and materials need to be investigated and incorporated into the design. In summary, the connectivity piece and the health monitoring intelligence are the two current influences which are driving material sciences and smart sensors and then how do you package that in an efficient way.

Ottenhof - Beckhoff: One of the real misunderstandings of Industry 4.0 is that people think it’s one discrete technology,

MotionControl: Roundtable when in fact it’s just a title given to a whole series of technologies that are all at various stages of development. One of those would be OPC UA, which is a derivation of the original OPC but on a much broader base in terms of interoperability. That’s the key enabling technology for Industry 4.0 – the ability to have interoperable, standard technologies from the sensor level up to the ERP level. On the industrial side, all the manufacturing automation companies are involved in implementing various levels of this protocol. The fact that OPC UA is becoming such a highly adopted technology is an encouraging indication that Industry 4.0 and IoT will begin to play a nearer-term influence in manufacturing.

Woitas-Omron: The answer to that question is yes. For example, we now have SQL database read/write functionality in the controller itself so we can take industrial component data, sensor-type data, and send it directly to IT databases. You used to have an intermediate PC to handle that task but that’s now removed. That kind of enabling technology is being sold and integrated into machinery now. The other aspect I see is the idea of traceability. It started with the pharmaceutical industry, but now the automotive, plastics and food and beverage industries are asking for traceability as well.

DE: Which product categories are showing the most activity/growth potential?

Buckley – Motion: More and more, electronic controls, computer controls as well as servo and stepper systems are growing. We’re also seeing an increase in interest in vision systems, even in just the last six months. This opens a whole new world in robotics including inspection. Many jobs, that were critical but boring, leading to high error rates, can now be done with robots with vision systems. When vision first started to get into the market, they were extremely limited by simple things, like getting the proper and consistent lighting and the software to incorporate it into a process. Today, they’re much easier to program and the peripheral hardware and cameras themselves have become better and better, all within a short period of time.

“One of the real misunderstandings of Industry 4.0 is that people think it is one discrete technology, when in fact it is just a title that is given to a whole series of technologies that are all at various stages of development.”

Dusseldorp – Parker: Growth continues to be largely in electromechanical actuators. As accuracy, speed and load capabilities continue to improve, we see these devices being used in more applications. The other component that continues to be strong is variable frequency drives. The ability to vary speed lends itself to adapting to a motion cycle, particularly where demand is intermittent. For example, in a hydraulic circuit, the VFD can vary the pump speed to match flow requirements and avoid dumping oil at pressure over a relief valve. This reduces both energy consumption and cooling requirements.

Ottenhof - Beckhoff: For us, it’s heartening to see that more and more North American customers are becoming comfortable with implementing more functionality in software. So we continue to see a growing importance in software; those sales are driving our business. That is, towards an open platform with the control tasks implemented in software rather than exclusively in hardware. That includes things like drives, motors, I/O, data links, all connected together on a simple (flat), high bandwidth, real-time network and controlled by software. We are at the beginning of a new era where we are losing our collective fear of software as a component of a high-performance, high-reliability control system.

Woitas-Omron: I would say motion controls, SCADA software and industrial networks. There’s also a continuing trend toward distributed I/O and away from centralized I/O. Distributed is easier to wire because you can have safe and non-safe I/O located close to the sensors instead of having to run a bundle of wire back to the panel. These categories are mainly driven by price and flexibility. Distributed I/O is cheaper to purchase and wire, for example, while motion controls provide flexibility. For example, there are still a lot of machines that have mechanical adjustment systems, whereas a servo allows for auto-adjusting to suit various parameters. The up-front costs of motor controls have gone down, but it is mostly the money you can make back on the automation due to time saved and higher quality.

DE: To what extent is energy efficiency driving customer decisions?

Buckley – Motion: That is a hard one for me to answer because I never run across it. However, I do know that for Motion Canada, the demand for variable frequency drives has gone up dramatically. It’s just not something I see directly. When you are automating a process to increase production, accuracy and quality while minimizing cost, the greatest cost is the labor.

So the energy costs involved is a tiny factor in comparison. For me and my group, we don’t run into anyone who asks, “When you automate this process, what will be the energy consumption?” What they want to know is what the payback period is going to be.

Dusseldorp – Parker: I would say that it drives decisions to high extent. For transit authorities, for example, fuel is one of the www.design-engineering.com

highest fleet costs. Quebec has a big program investing something like $300 million in electric buses. As another example, when the tier 4 emission standards came into effect, engines trended to running a lot hotter, necessitating more cooling which, in turn, required more horse power. You can’t simply put in a bigger engine. What OEMs needed to accomplish was to improve efficiencies to maintain overall HP requirements. As a result, clients are looking at all their mechanical, hydraulic and electrically activated components to determine the best means to accomplish each type of actuation. Then, they select the best technology to optimize their HP and energy requirements. Efficiency is key whether it be on road, in field or in plant equipment.

Ottenhof -Beckhoff: We don’t see it in our core business as being a deciding factor. Everybody wants to be green and seen to be green but in our business, we are just not being asked, “What is the energy efficiency of your PCs?” At the same time, we do promote the ability of servo control systems to conserve power by harvesting energy during breaking operations. Just like in a hybrid car, you can capture that power and then use it to drive the motor on the next cycle.

But that’s something that’s been around for a while; it’s a matter of fact since you have to do something with the energy anyway. It’s not a matter of customers coming to us and demanding higher energy efficiency. However, our I/O technology in particular frequently plays a role in machine and plant energy monitoring, which goes hand-in-hand with energy optimization initiatives.

Woitas-Omron: It doesn’t seem too much of an issue for motion controls but, for larger VFDs, it is. People are looking for cost savings. It’s mostly a local thing, as well. For machinery that’s being exported, or for customers not in Ontario, they don’t seem that sensitive to it. But I think Ontario’s electrical prices are starting to rise and will continue to in the future. So, I think energy efficiency is going to be a factor for Ontario manufacturers, for sure.

PRACTICE Over THEORY

By John Bachmann: CFPA Education Chair

T

he recent slippage on international rankings of the math skills of Canadian students has been called a “national crisis”. We might quibble about just how serious the situation is, but most people believe that it’s serious enough to require action. And, because those writing curriculum and setting policies in our schools are lamentably detached from the real world, some of this action needs to involve industry associations like the CFPA. Over the last few decades, there has been a shift of focus in the math curriculum, from results to process. For example, long division used to be taught using the algorithm most of us are familiar with that resulted in the correct answer in a few steps.

However, educators decided this wasn’t good enough, because students didn’t understand what was happening at each step.

As a result, they developed incredibly complicated algorithms that purported to provide students with important insights into the process. To ensure that the process was made as difficult as possible, students were handicapped by not being required to memorize the 12 X 12 timetables.

The intent of these and other “discovery learning” approaches was to foster a love of mathematics in students through better understanding. Unfortunately, post-secondary educators and employers report that the results are students who don’t like math any more than previous generations but now can’t perform basic operations. Ignoring this real world feedback, grade school educators remain adamant that the new discovery methods are the right ones to use.

The disconnect from the real world is also evident in matters of policy. In 2012, an Edmonton public school teacher was fired because he refused to stop giving zeros to students who didn’t hand in assignments. In fact, this “no zeros” policy had been adopted very quietly by school boards across the country and continues in place in many. How encouraging a disdain for deadlines and disrespect for teachers (who now are required to mark a stack of late assignments at the end of each term) prepares students for post-high school reality is baffling to anyone in the real world.

When we started the Fluid Power Challenge in Toronto in

CFPA Fluid Power Challenge provides real world skills application for students hampered by processdriven curriculum.

2001 and expanded it to include Edmonton in 2006, our focus was mostly on encouraging students to consider careers in technology. Specifically, we were asking them to select enough math and science courses in high school to keep their options open for post-secondary technology programs.

But we soon learned that a very important by-product was providing teachers with real world exposure to technology industries and the career opportunities within them. In Toronto, we’ve done this primarily by taking the teachers on tours of everything from Bombardier Aerospace to Canada’s Wonderland where they were thrilled to sample hydraulically-actuated motion on some of the rides.

On one of these field trips to a manufacturer of automotive climate control equipment, the teachers were surprised to learn that the high school graduates on the assembly line were very involved in analyzing data about production levels and reject rates to improve the processes they were using. This wasn’t the mindless, repetitive work the teachers expected to find there.

Those from industry who participate in competitions and other activities also learn a lot. We learn about the institutional and societal challenges that technology teachers face in our schools. These include school boards who thought that computers would do everything in the future and shut down technology classrooms and sold off the equipment (only to have to purchase it again when the Canada-wide skilled trades shortage became apparent a few years later). Concurrently, faculties of education dramatically reduced or eliminated training for technology teachers.

At the Challenges, we also learned from the teachers that there is strong parental bias against careers in the trades. It’s sad to hear how many parents are more concerned with what other family members or neighbours will think than with what will make their child happy.

Industry and professional associations can and must continue to work with our schools on projects like fluid power challenges, but they must also apply political pressure at the provincial level to upgrade teaching methodologies to ones that work in practice and not just theory.

Whether it’s judging at a grade 8, techskills competition or lobbying a politician, there is something you can do to increase the number and quality of students choosing technology careers.

I/O Module B&R Automation announced the release of its reACTION technology, which the company says is able to reduce cycle times in industrial automation down to 1 µs. The approach allows time-critical sub-processes to be managed using standard hardware – all within the requirements of IEC 61131. With reACTION technology, programs created in the function block editor are executed directly on I/O modules from the company’s X20 and X67 series, eliminating internal data transmission. B&R’s Automation Studio 4 IDE allocates software modules to distributed hardware and utilizes the surplus capacity of logic components in the modules. This allows function block libraries to be stored there through the use of dynamic updates. The libraries can then be executed locally on the I/O module like the command set for a microcontroller. www.br-automation.com

Reverse Displacement Motor Danfoss introduced its Reverse Displacement Motor (RDM), an open circuit piston motor that offers reverse circuit functionality without external valves. The motor features a 12V integrated proportional shifting valve. The reverse functionality of the RDM enables the fan to purge trapped dirt and debris, restoring cooling efficiency. In fan drive applications, the RDM is designed to protect the equipment. In the event of a controller or electrical failure, the fault position of the motor is biased to maximum forward speed, enabling the fan to maintain the integrity of the cooling system on the machine. http://powersolutions.danfoss.com
