Han High Temp connectors remain robust and reliable for their entire lifespan H

an High Temp is a new product series that is based on Harting’s well-established Han B and Han E series. The company used high-quality materials with wide temperature ranges to produce connectors that are uniquely suited for a wide variety of applications.

Inserts The Han High Temp series features very rugged contact inserts, which are really the heart of any connector. The LCP injection-moulded insert delivers outstanding temperature resistance coupled with excellent mechanical stability.

Contacts Harting’s new temperature resistant contacts, for either screw or crimp terminations, ensure reliable connections with minimal contact resistance even at extreme temperatures. n

These connectors can withstand temperatures up to 200 C so they can be used directly in machines and facilities that would otherwise require cumbersome and complex constructions.

Design overview Major advantages • Electro-mechanical design process is optimised. Machine parts which are exposed to high temperatures can be designed modularly.

• Work process is optimised since lower wiring complexity results in reduced maintenance costs.

• After-sales phase is optimised because this more service-friendly approach results in less outages and downtimes.

The basic structure of the Han High Temp connector consists of a bulkhead mounted housing and a cable-side hood.

Hoods and housings The aluminium die-cast hoods and housings feature a highly compressed surface with excellent non-stick properties. It also has a special non-stick coating on the bulkheadside seal which allows easy handling without significant sticking.

mphasised on cross-industry coengineering as the fastest route to optimising fuel efficiency in lubricants for vehicles, Shell recently brought together automotive industry experts at the third edition of the Shell Lubricants Technology Lecture in India at the IIT Madras. On the sidelines of this event, Dr. Cameron Watson talks to Subhajit Roy and elaborates the need of industry-academia close collaboration.

When it comes to the Indian market, how is your approach to the OEMs? We follow an innovation application partnership approach to work with the OEMs. We have our global laboratories at the centre of our research activities which are researching into the fundamentals of lubrication, developing lubricants and working with our customers. But it’s very difficult to form partnership from a laboratory where human relations are important. Hence we have a team of dedicated individuals whose job is to work closely with the key OEMs in construction, transport and automotive sector. They form business relationships with OEMs to understand technical challenges and future opportunities and develop project with them. These projects might be delivered sometime thousands of miles away in a laboratory and all the data and transfer of knowledge happens at the local environment. Our approach is about having a network and applying global knowledge and capabilities for everyone in the world through our people.

May 2014 n OEM Update n 12

Could you talk about your ongoing projects in India?

In India, we are doing a co engineering project with Tata Motors on next generation platform particularly on fuel economy.

We also have a strong partnership with Daimler. We have also developed a synthetic technology for Daimler India, the trucks manufacturers in India which is appropriate for the latest generation after treatment devices and we have given very significant economic benefits to them. We actually helped them to break the records of fuel economy trucks using our technology. In addition, we have technical collaboration with TAFE where our focus is in extending oil drain interval for the engine oil to achieve reduction in Total Cost of Ownership. It adds a lot of value to their customers by providing more uptime and more productivity from the tractors.

Lubricants play key role in improving fuel economy, but what about the durability of machines?

From our perspective, it’s almost impossible to separate durability and fuel economy– they are two sides of one coin. Though the customers are seeking more fuel economy but it cannot compromise on durability.

So every time we do test to prove the fuel economy performance and improve the drivetrain, in parallel we conduct robust durability tests which include fuel trial, engine test or bench test. These tests are conducted to make sure that the combination of engineering in lubricants is

robust. If a vehicle running with great fuel economy oil breaks down after only a few thousand kilometres- that is the worst thing an OEM can expect. So the durability is very important and we cannot separate the two from the lubricant researcher’s point of view.

What are the major challenges that the Indian OEMs are facing when it comes to adopting certain lubricants? Also, what are the challenges you face in placing any lubricant in the Indian market?

Some are technical, some are cultural. India is moving extremely quickly in terms of adopting new technologies into the market.

The rate of change witnessed in Europe and USA over the 40 years; India is going through the same phase in much smaller period. But still there is a natural perception to be on a way some technical advantage whether appropriate for the market. Some OEMs and customers still perceive old fashioned concept of lubricants are better if they are thicker because that’s what they were told when they were young.

That was the environment I grew up in as well and having to go through a sudden mental change. So, there have been big cultural challenges. We can have some very big discussion with engineers, very much rationalised and scientific approach. OEMs can be very large, complex organisation with thousands of people working.

However much we do, we only deal with the small number. So, influencing a very large organisation is a challenge.

Speak Out How open is the market about collaborative approach?

OEMs often have personalities like people!

I deal with OEMs all over the world and found it’s not necessarily a function for country they are in; it’s almost the corporate personality. Some companies seem to be very open to collaboration whereas some are very resistant. In my experience, more innovative companies are the ones naturally collaborative and can run technologies in the market. The companies who don’t want to collaborate with the partners are only getting 50 per cent of the opportunity.

When you talk about Shell globally, how significant is the Indian market?

We have a strong presence in Europe, North America and China. We are increasing our focus and activities in Brazil, India and Russia.

We are also actively present in Indonesia.

In 1993 Shell Lubricants came to India in joint venture with Bharat Petroleum in the name of Bharat Shell Ltd. The partnership lasted for more than a decade and by the end of 2007, Shell Lubricants became 100 per cent subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell by acquiring the minority stake of Bharat Petroleum. We have made very quick progress in the Indian market since then.

We have relatively smaller market share in India in comparison to other countries but we are growing fast.

What is the year on year growth, you are experiencing as the market is very huge?

We have had a steady growth in this market.

We have set up a state of the art blending plant in Taloja, near Mumbai. We also have a very talented and enthusiastic team in India and have placed some global experts in the country who will help, coach and mentor them.

is a people-intensive businesses – it’s about relationship and partnership. We would also like to expand our showcase capabilities in this country to enhance partnerships associated to educating and awareness.

What’s your take on the gas as a proposition for trucks and commercial vehicles?

It’s a big question because gas as a resource has been exploited in the last few years and Shell is the biggest producer of LNG. We supply all over the world. Our leading ability is to transport large quantity of gas from resources which is often remote from customers. We consider it as a big market.

Also in US, getting gas from shale gases has dramatically increased the availability of gas.

Though I cannot predict future in India’s case but I do know the economics around the usages of gas. Also, the technology is changing very quickly. If India has shale gas resources and exploit them, it will enhance its energy mix.

And in some parts of the market we have been able to reduce the cost of gas.

How much you have invested in India so far?

We have significantly invested in the R&D laboratory in Bangalore. We will move in to a bigger premise by the end of this year.

Recently, we have also opened a motorcycle showcase in Bangalore.

What should be your roadmap for the Indian market?

We have invested very heavily in our research headquarter in India. Shell Technology Centre in Bangalore (STCB) is one of the three global hubs for technology, after Houston and Amsterdam. As our business grows steadily in India, we will increase the number of people here because lubricant

Today, gas is significantly used all over the world as energy for power generation. We have also seen an increase in use of gas as transport fuel in significant part of the world.

In India CNG is used quite significantly in small pockets and LNG has not been used as a transport fuel though it has huge advantages in terms of cost and machine efficiency. Shell is already running a number of projects in US on retail side and high density transport corridors. We are working with some OEMs on using LNG as a transport fuel. One of the interesting challenges with gas is, although 99.9 per cent of LNG is methane, there may some other chemical compounds which make

impacts on performance. We try to educate our OEM partners about the different kind of performance they experience in different parts of the world.

Though I cannot predict future in India’s case but I do know the economics around the usages of gas. Also, the technology is changing very quickly. If India has shale gas resources and exploit them, it will enhance its energy mix.

On LNG, Shell has large research area includes extraction, transportation, and usage. Apart from the research on usage of fuel, we also analyse its impact on lubricants and engineering design. We have a research centre in Texas which is dedicated to LNG engines. We work with our partners in this very topical, viable area of research.

India is a very huge market with small car, how do look at this opportunity for such OEMs? With respect to OEMs in general, we work with partners in small cars all over the world we serve today. We see even in developed markets and the trend around car size for urban use is declining – customers are becoming increasingly sensitive in regards to choice of vehicle. We work with number OEMs specialised in the small car markets.

I don’t see a problem or cultural challenges dealing in the Indian small car market - rather it’s a great place to share the innovation.

After successful conclusion of Shell Lubricants Global Lecture Series in Chennai, what do you see next?

We have taken big events in number of occasions discussing more about operational level of the technology - diving into the chemistry of passenger cars oils, engine testing etc. There we aim mostly at OEMs and big customers. This is our first event where we indulged high-level society stakeholders like academia, decision makers, media etc. So we will continue this kind of series in major markets in the world and will be looking at markets in USA, Europe and Brazil.

In India, we plan to continue this engagement on an ongoing basis. This is about communicating or high-level messaging and contribution to the society.

While we will continue to talk about our projects and product launches to engage with our stakeholders, this too shall be one of the important mediums to engage with them. n 13 n OEM Update n May 2014

Looking for a

Selecting the right CNC machine for an application is an important task to perform before making an investment. This article summarises the key parameters one must consider before purchasing a CNC equipment

CNC machine?

Things to consider

W

ith a large variety of CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines available in the market today, loaded with advanced features and multitasking capabilities; it is really a critical task to select the right machine. The machine should have the ability to boost productivity and profitability, and hence one must look beyond just comparing the technical specifications and initial cost.

According to Vikas Taneja, Vice President (Marketing), Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd., “Future plans have to be kept in mind while making the selection as the machine should not only fulfil current requirement but also should be capable of handling future challenges.�

May 2014 n OEM Update n 14

Mr Taneja underlines following considerations which would help in making the wise selection: Define need: The machine type and work envelop are defined based on the operations to be performed on components to be machined. Multitasking / 5-axis machines can also be considered if the component geometry and relative accuracies demand complete machining in a single set-up.

Machine structure: Cast iron is considered to be the most vibration damping material for machine tool casting. Machine base should be heavily ribbed, thus increasing the rigidity and strength for better performance and reliability.

Vikas Taneja, Vice President (Marketing), Jyoti CNC Automation

Future plans have to be kept in mind while making the selection as the machine should not only fulfil current requirement but also should be capable of handling future challenges

CNC Special

Advanced machine features like servo motor turret, torque motor driven rotary tables, LM guideways, efficient chip management, etc. greatly compliment productivity, hence require important consideration.

Accuracies: CNC machines are equipped with high-resolution rotary encoders for position feedback, and the option of precision glass scales can be opted for achieving better geometrical accuracies on the component.

Spindle: Spindle power and torque, spindle taper, high-speed electro-spindles, selection largely depends on application, component material and cutting tools used. High speed machining (HSM) is the buzzword today, and helps in high material removal and better surface finish using high cutting parameters.

Control system: CNC controllers from Fanuc and Siemens are capable of handling complex applications, supporting the leading CAD/CAM software.

5-axis machining option provides more versatility and allows machining of

intricate geometries in single set-up, achieving high accuracy levels for complex parts.

After-sales support from the CNC machine manufacturers is of very high importance. Every CNC machine needs periodic maintenance and may call for immediate service attention during odd hours. The machine breakdown hours erodes the profitability of any company and thus availability of immediate services and spare parts during critical hours take top priority in final selection of a CNC machine. Indian machine tool manufacturers offering advanced and latest technology featured CNC machines today, with localised after sales support, score highly on this important aspect.

Whereas Mandeep Singh Thanjal, Partner at Agam Enterprises said, “To buy a CNC machine, one has to consider the mechanical aspects of the machine. The quality and features play a major part in this. For quality, we prefer machines from renowned companies only as they have a good life in terms of casting.”

SKF unveils bearing lubrication unit for high-speed applications Improved reliability, profitability and reduced environmental impact

T

• Reduces lubricant consumption • Maximises the effectiveness of the lubricant • Positive pressure within the housing virtually eliminates the ingress of contaminants.

o meet the ever-growing performance requirements of high-speed precision applications, SKF has developed the new Super-precision Bearing Lubrication Unit for use with oil-air lubrication in highspeed applications. “This system can not only simplify new spindle designs but can also improve the performance of existing designs,” the company claims.

Improved performance and reliability

Advantages of oil-air lubrication

Customer benefits

The rotational speed at which a bearing reaches its operating temperature limit depends primarily on the heat generated in the bearing (frictional heat) and the amount of heat that can be transferred away from the bearing. One way to reduce frictional heat, particularly in bearings, is to be sure that the correct quantity of the appropriate lubricant reaches all necessary components. Many high speed applications can be lubricated with grease. However, as speeds and the resulting frictional heat increase, grease is typically replaced with an oil lubrication system. Very high-speed applications generally require a precise lubricant delivery system: the precise amount of oil required to adequately lubricate the bearing is continuously delivered by the

Improved lubrication conditions Low noise levels Higher attainable speed Improved reliability Reduced oil consumption Reduced environmental impact Safe, easy assembly.

As a result of SKF’s precise placement of the oil-air nozzle relative to the bearing, the cooling effect from the compressed air is optimised. This can stabilise operational preload within the bearing, further reduce frictional heat and maximise the effectiveness of the lubricant. The result: bearings can attain and even exceed their attainable speeds.

Applications oil-air lubrication system, thus minimising friction and operating temperature.

Oil-air lubrication system provides the following advantages: • Increases the bearing attainable speed • Reduces friction torque and energy consumption • Reduces environmental impact

SKF Super-precision Bearing Lubrication Units can extend bearing service life and allow increased operating speeds for high speed applications such as machining centres, milling machines, internal grinding machines and spindles for printed circuit boards drilling. The unit works on high-speed spindles, with an air-oil lubrication system, in horizontal and vertical position. n

Plasma cutting: transforming the world of manufacturing

“Our aim is to increase the awareness of plasma amongst end-users so that they can make the best decision on the technology that best suits their needs,” says Abhinav Sood, Sales Leader, Hypertherm India

H

ypertherm designs and manufactures advanced cutting products for use in various industries. In an exclusive interview with OEM Update, Abhinav Sood talks about the acceptance of plasma cutting technology in India, the challenges and road ahead. He also briefs on the company’s participation in Weld India expo.

Hypertherm is in the business of advanced plasma cutting systems. How do you see the acceptance of such products in the Indian market?

At present, India is in transition from the traditional methods of cutting to adopting newer technologies. With an increase in demand for efficiency and speed, end-users are deviating from the use of conventional metal cutting systems and have started to adopt automated technologies. Over the years, the industry has seen a drastic increase in the expectations of end-users and in recent times, they have come to expect consistent quality, high productivity, efficiency, reliability, and lower cost of manufacturing.

Compared to traditional metal cutting systems, plasma cutting can meet most of the above-mentioned expectations and it offers users an optimised solution for metal cutting processes. Plasma cutting technology has advanced greatly; there are now solutions available to suit a wider range of materials and thickness, catering to a variety of industry segments.

As more global manufacturers set up base in India, a growth in the demand for high-end technologies is expected. In fact, the plasma installed base has seen increased growth over the years, not only in India but across the globe. This can be attributed to the fact that more manufacturers are adopting plasma for their thermal cutting needs in replacement of less efficient cutting methods. The Indian market is on its way towards adoption of modern manufacturing technologies, and this area of growth is expected to continue in the coming years.

What kind of challenges are you witnessing in terms of placing new products in the market?

When introducing new products and technologies to the market, there are generally two areas that can have an impact on the resultant responses – cost and awareness. In plasma cutting, for example, the initial investment cost is higher compared to traditional manufacturing systems, and this is the reason why many companies are not ready to adopt plasma technology. In addition, the lack of knowledge and exposure to the latest manufacturing techniques like plasma amongst end-users also poses a challenge when it comes to product marketing.

The challenge for us is to educate end-users on the intrinsic benefits of using plasma cutting systems. Through education, endusers can gain a better understanding of the plasma advantage. Our opportunity for

growth arises when they become more receptive to adopting the technology. Our aim is to increase the awareness of plasma amongst end-users so that they can make the best decision on the technology that best suits their needs.

Which are the verticals that are driving your company’s overall business?

As a leading global provider of metal cutting equipment, Hypertherm’s solutions are employed in a wide spectrum of industries, including key markets such as the construction, infrastructure, railway, pressure vessel, agriculture and general fabrication sectors. Hypertherm will continue to support its customers by developing technology upgrades and new product offerings to meet each industry’s cutting needs.

CAD/CAM Special

Delcam’s managing director Vineet Seth explains why CAD/CAM is now an inseparable process amongst mainstream manufacturing

CAD/CAM:

empowering manufacturing T

oday, nearly everything that we touch, see and hear from is a product of the application of CAD/CAM and CNC technology.

The cars we drive, the toys our children play with, the medical equipment that are used to diagnose or treat illnesses, the televisions we watch, the mobile phones we use, the computers that we work with, the chairs that we sit on, the spacecrafts that explore the universe and the planes we fly in are only a few examples of areas in which a part of it, or the entire product was created using CAD/CAM and CNC technology.

The history of CAD/CAM dates back to the early 1960s when various universities, large OEs and defence labs started using mainframe computers to create 2D views, analyse complex mathematical algorithms as well as create 2D NC tapes to run first generation CNC machines. It was only in the late 60s and early 70s that CAD and CAM received an integrated approach. Of course we have now come a long way from where things began, but the basics still remain true and form the foundation of most new technology.

Of course, the exponential increase in computing power has only added to the list of benefits to the CAD/CAM field, and as a result of this, we now see many possibilities with CAD and CAM which were earlier only theories on paper. Hybrid modelling, tribrid modelling, conversion of 2D images into 3D reliefs, reverse engineering, multi axis manufacturing, cad surface inspection, knowledge-based machining etc. are now a reality and are being put to use by many industries for their design, manufacturing and QA requirements.

Hybrid modelling, which involves the design of solids and surfaces in a single environment, helps many tool & die and automotive companies create complex designs and parts rapidly. What used May 2014 n OEM Update n 26

to take weeks earlier has now been reduced to days in terms of time spent in the design and manufacture of moulds and tools. By virtue of hybrid modelling, a designer can work concurrently in both surface modelling and solid modelling in any given model. Solid modelling assists in providing tools such as booleans, extrusions, revolutions; while surface modelling helps in addressing a specific surface within that solid for intricate options like spine, boundary, and UV curve editing.

This has not only increased the capability index of the limitless design possibilities but has also cut down drastically on lead times for designing as well as the process in whole. An extension of this, tribrid modelling comes with an additional capability of adding and editing triangles in the CAD environment. To give a brief idea of triangle modelling, let’s explain how exactly this is done. Let us imagine a golf ball, which has many convex depressions on the surface. If we were to draw lines from the centre of each of these depressions to the adjoining ones, we would see a network of triangles being created after we are done. This is what is known as “meshing” in CAD/CAM terminology. This is different from surface and solid modelling which

Rough raceline

CAD/CAM Special are formed over “curves” rather than “points”. Tribrid and relief modelling, by means of a complex and high level “kernel” (the engine that runs the CAD/CAM software) allows CAD designers to “wrap” triangles onto surfaces and solids – which has been a major breakthrough for many packaging and signmaking industries across the globe. This allows designers to have 3D projections on surfaces which are extremely difficult and time consuming to design. By the help of relief modelling, a simple photographic image can be quickly converted into a 3D relief that can be mounted on to any CAD surface or solid. Many glassware and pet bottles we see today, that have 3-dimensional decorations are the result of the application of this technology.

Tribrid modelling also allows for re-engineering of worn out parts quickly and efficiently, while being as close as possible to original dimensional accuracies.

Similarly, CAM too has now many options to offer, than it did earlier. From a pre-dominantly 2.5D manufacturing, we now see CAM addressing complex profile as well as multi-axis manufacturing. With the progress of the computer operating system, CAM programs which were generated on a nonGUI, moved to the new GUI, which gave the programmer many visual tools to analyse and work upon. Many methods of manufacturing like turning, milling, grinding, wireEDM, Swiss turning, laser cutting, tape laying, punching are now programmed by CAM software. Unlike CAD, CAM needs a lot of information before hand to creating a NC program – which is the final product which is fed into the machine tool. Often, this pre-requisite data might not be available with novice users for a variety of reasons, and hence delays were a common reported issue.

Knowledge-based machining was a big boon to the CAM industry which overcame this barrier. Knowledge-based machining or KBM as it is often abbreviated, allows for standards to be pre-fed inside a database which is applied to a select operation. Standard data stored by KBM includes data pertaining to - cutting tools, material, machine data, post processor data, macros and subroutines and strategies that are automatically applied to the current operation. This helps in optimising the toolpath even before it is run on the machine. You can imagine the amount of time-savings and accuracies this process brings. KBM is vastly acknowledged for added benefits to the 2.5D manufacturing process. However, when it comes to 3 Axis and beyond there exists a requirement of a little more than just KBM. CAD/CAM is driven by innovations. In the current age, everything is evolving rapidly, we see increased computing capabilities, machine tools, cutting tools, materials all are being innovated each day.

The ability to machine components in the shortest possible time is an issue of ever increasing importance. Any development in engineering which can give faster delivery, and at the same time improve quality, must, therefore be given serious consideration.

Raceline machining, trochoidal machining, automatic trochoidal machining, rest roughing, constant Z, 3D offset finishing, optimised constant Z are a few HSM strategies for the roughing and finishing operations during milling.

Going further, 5-axis machining has been used in aerospace applications for many years but it is only recently that other industries like tool making, automotive, medical and dental,

shoe and electronics industries have shown similar interest. The main advantage of 5-axis machining is the ability to save time by machining complex shapes in a single set-up. Additional benefit comes from allowing the use of shorter cutters that permit more accurate machining.

Positional 5-axis machining and continuous 5-axis machining are the two possibilities within this technology. Positional 5-axis machining allows creating 3-axis tool paths using different workplanes for alignment – thus requiring multiple setups, while continuous 5-axis machining allows the user to create continuous 5-axis tool paths across complex surface, solid and triangulated models, in a single setup.

Improvisations in multi-axis machining, such as port machining and blade/ blisk/impeller machining have empowered the programmer to create efficient tool paths on complex profiles that are typical in high precision industries such as aerospace and automotive.

It is quite evident that there has been a tremendous amount of improvisation and innovation that has gone into the field of CAD/CAM. The reason why CAD/CAM is now an inseparable process amongst mainstream manufacturing is because it has never failed to evolve and innovate. Flexibility, scope, robustness, reliability, speed, efficacy, consistency and spectrum are all being worked upon continually to further improvise on existing features as well as create new features entirely. This innovation has kept CAD/CAM abreast of the latest in technology, adapting to Authored by__ new age manufacturing methods and encompassing Vineet Seth, Managing Director – India & Middle East, Delcam Plc, UK ever increasing segments ASEAN Business Development Director, and applications. n Delcam Professional Services Ltd., UK
