Kinetix 5500 servo drive enhances machine performance and flexibility

apidly changing consumer demands require machine and equipment builders to reduce development and installation time while increasing machine flexibility. The AllenBradley Kinetix 5500 servo drive with integrated safety can help machine builders satisfy those requirements by taking advantage of a single EtherNet/IP network, as well as a common design environment with Rockwell Software Studio 5000 Logix designer software. The Kinetix 5500 servo drive with integrated safety builds on the foundation of the recently released Kinetix 5500 servo drive. With the same high-speed coordination to meet demanding motion requirements, the drive uses the EtherNet/IP network for streamlined machine safety functions. End users gain the benefit of improved personnel safety and increased machine uptime in the manufacturing facility.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putting safety on the network eases the configuration of and updates to safety functions. This allows machine builders to be very flexible with their design and differentiate themselves in these industries, providing customers the means to more easily react to market changes,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Schweiner, Product Manager, Rockwell Automation. The EtherNet/IP network allows safety signals to travel via the same wires and IP addresses used for control and motion. This eliminates the need for a hardwired safety system. Reducing overall system wiring saves time and money in installation and removes potential points of failure, resulting in less troubleshooting and downtime. Machine and equipment builders can more quickly install the drive and provide customers with greater ease of use via the Logix Designer development environment and Allen Bradley GuardLogix safety controllers. In addition to motion and control parameters, end users now can configure the safety system within the Logix Designer software. n

B&R automating packaging lines with its key technologies

“With hardware product portfolio and integrated software platform, B&R has successfully automated packaging lines with key technologies.” Shyam Padwal, Assistant Manager – Marketing, B&R Industrial Automation Pvt. Ltd.

&R Automation, being a well known name in automation field, is blazing a trail of innovation in the pursuit of solutions that focus on meeting its customers’ requirements – setting new standards in productivity, energy efficiency, flexibility and maintenance along the way. Mr Padwal talks about curent scenario and solutions offered by the company. Industry status When it comes to current status, one thing is clear that automation is now integral part of Indian packaging industry. It has been observed that in the consumer packaged goods industry, a product’s packaging plays a crucial role in its success. At the heart of this evolution is the rapidly changing lifestyle of aspiring Indian consumers and need to align product quality to global level. For quite a sometime there is an all-around understanding about the solutions offered by automation like increased throughput of the machines, improvement in the product quality, better working conditions for operators. It can be said that demand for technology is at high. “Price of the automation systems have declined in last decade which is driving the growth of the programmable controllers, intuitive touch panels, and servo based motion system in the packaging machines and process equipment,” explains Mr Padwal. “In fact, there is some level of confusion amongst the machine builders as to how sophisticated their machine should be and what level of customisation should be accepted to cater different demands from various brand owners.” B&R offerings B&R offers solutions for highly flexible packaging machines at the same time striking a balance

between technical demands and economic feasibility. Packaging lines automated by B&R get all the benefits of state-of-the-art motion control, robotics, displays, safety, image processing and IT connectivity. A broad commitment to international standards allows B&R to vertically integrate packaging machines and packaging lines with MES and ERP systems. Developments such as PackML improve OEE calculation, while open and independent protocols like POWERLINK, openSAFETY, OPC UA and contribute to increased performance and future-proof compliance to standards such as ISA-88 Part 5 and FDA CFR 21 Part 11. “With hardware product portfolio and integrated software platform, B&R has successfully automated packaging lines with key technologies like registration mark control, winding technology, on-the-fly cutting, integrated vision system, pick and place and robotics,” informs Mr Padwal. B&R also offers its Scalability+ programme which helps take scalability to a new level – allowing automation solutions to be tailored to machine requirements with greater efficiency and freedom than ever before. reACTION technology “In our dedicated packaging portal, we present an impressive range of advanced solutions that cover the full breadth and depth of requirements faced by our partners in the packaging industry, from primary and secondary packaging through to end-of-line solutions,” adds Mr Padwal. With the advanced reACTION technology, B&R has reduced the response times for industrial automation down to 1 µs. Primary packaging is the most challenging task in the packaging industry. In these machines, the packaging material meets the product at the highest possible speed; as a result, the level of precision has a direct influence on both product quality and the usage of raw materials. Gravimetric and volumetric filling processes in liquid filling machines, for example, can take advantage of reACTION technology to operate valves and sensors with an unrivaled precision of 1 µs. Other high-speed packaging machine functions like code stamping and bad product rejection can combine B&R’s reACTION and NetTime technologies to synchronise motion control and distributed I/O to achieve absolute precision. n

Automation

Turn Industry 4.0 into reality with seamless integration between IT and OT However, to take full advantage of these connected devices, another wave of integration is required – organisations need to bring their equipment and systems into the modern, information-enabled world. Five-stage model A five-stage Connected Enterprise Maturity Model is one guide for implementing a more intelligent OT/IT network.

ith the rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), one can assume that almost every company would have a plan for connecting automation and business systems. IHS estimates that the number of Internet connected devices in the industrial automation sector will increase more than fiftyfold from 2012 to 2025 – at a compound annual growth rate of 36.3 per cent. Yet surprisingly low levels of integration were found between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). Only 14 per cent of executives say that all plant-floor data is integrated with enterprise systems; about a fourth have little more than half of their plant-floor machinery (not including computers) Internet-enabled; and 30 per cent reported that none of their equipment is Ethernet-enabled. The future of industrial automation is inextricably tied to the rise of Internet Protocol (IP) technology and an infrastructure that can accelerate the IoT revolution. Around the world, forward-thinking companies and governments understand the need for investment. In Germany, the federal government is underwriting Industries 4.0, also referred to as “Industry 4.0,” to help industries harness the intelligence generated by the IoT to optimise processes, increase efficiencies and spur innovation. In the United States, the smart manufacturing leadership coalition has focused on implementing 21st century smart manufacturing best practices. Chief among those: applying a reference architecture that enables seamless collaboration and integration between IT and OT. Much of the technology needed for this revolution already exists. That includes IP-enabled networks (industrial Ethernet and Wi-Fi), information infrastructure (hardware and software), and intelligent, connected devices such as sensors, actuators and switches. 16

• Stage 1 (Assessment): Evaluating an organisation’s existing OT/IT infrastructure, including controls, networks, information solutions and security, is critical. A thorough assessment helps create the blueprint for new collaborative operation, laying the foundation for advanced technologies such as business intelligence software or cloud-computing capabilities. • Stage 2 (Secure and upgraded networks and controls): A challenge for many organisations is the sheer volume and variety of outdated controls and networks in place. In this stage, the organisation builds an OT/IT backbone that can deliver secure, adaptable connectivity from plant floor operations to enterprise business systems. Planning begins, and cross-functional teams assess new technology options and establish upgrade roadmaps. • Stage 3 (Defined and organised working data capital): The team now starts to define and organise all the available data needed for improving business processes. An effective OT/IT operation incorporates data from IoT devices across the enterprise to deliver performance-critical information that can be used for real-time, critical decision-making. • Stage 4 (Analytics): The focus shifts to continuous improvement and how best to leverage the newfound OT/IT capabilities. Analytics utilising the WDC help pinpoint the greatest needs for realtime information. In this stage the data turns into information that is insightful and actionable. • Stage 5 (Collaboration): Create an environment that anticipates activities throughout the enterprise and through the supply and demand chain, enabling responsiveness to external events, supplier and customer activities, business trends, and changing market conditions. Organisations are also able to leverage centrally located domain experts across their operations, sharing best practices and enlisting the knowledge base of an entire supply chain. n Authored by-

HARTING’s Han HMC: Robust solution for frequent mating and demating The series is certified for applications with more than 10,000 mating cycles. This means: Han HMC connectors continue to fulfill the strict requirements of DIN EN 61984even after 10,000 mating cycles. HARTING has achieved this longevity by consistently enhancing its proven standard industrial connectors. Major advantages • Use of known and proven components • Same handling and same processing as with standard connectors • Unchanged mounting dimensions • All existing crimp, assembly and removal tools can still be utilised. HARTING HAN HMC

n industrial production, highly automated large scale production is more and more frequently being replaced by more flexible manufacturing technology. This is due to strongly individualised products. Due to the product differentiation, the requirements for flexibility in manufacturing have increased. The consequences can again be seen especially clearly in the automotive industry. The trend towards increased flexibility is seen in industrial production in general, and not only in automobile manufacturing. The challenges almost everywhere are: • Larger product ranges • Smaller production lots • Shorter throughput times High number of mating cycles in Industry 4.0 The answer to these challenges is a highly flexible (high volume) production that, for quite some time, has been established under the name Industry 4.0. It draws on the means of automation, the possibilities of self-configuration, self-optimisation and self-diagnoses all the way through to more complex, intelligent automation systems. In order to satisfy the growing demands for flexibility, the manufacturing plants and machines are becoming more and more modular. In order to enable the mating and demating of such devices, machines and systems reliably over a long period of time, they must feature durable, flexible and robust interfaces. The power, data and signal transfers must remain safe and reliable in spite of frequent mating and demating. HARTING has developed the new Han HMC connector series to satisfy the requirements. It comes up with its robustness, reliability, longevity, simple handling and flexibility. 18

Locking optimised In harsh industrial environments, but not only there, robust housings are called for to protect the connections. The locking system in the Han HMC was optimised to allow it to stand up to 10,000 closing cycles and the housings are also qualified for more than 10,000 mating cycles and always close reliably in compliance with the high IP65 protection class. The proven Han docking frames even make it possible to implement automatic docking systems for a large number of mating cycles. Thus, HARTING is offering many options for applications with a large number of mating cycles. A special feature here is certainly the fact that both the connectors and the housings are qualified for a large number of mating or locking cycles. The connections remain reliable even under the harshest environmental conditions with frequent mating and demating. Users can replace the standard connectors that they currently employ with Han HMC solutions without having to introduce any design changes. This is possible because only standard dimensions and components are involved. There are fundamentally no changes for users other than the fact that the Han® HMC connector is more durable. In brief HARTING’s new Han HMC connector series offers a simple, robust and application-oriented solution for devices, machines and systems that require connections for more than 10,000 mating cycles. The series particularly targets applications in the industrial environment and in medical technology. n

Rittal sensing growth opportunities despite of having unorganised sector “Almost 70 per cent of the market is made up of the unorganised sector. Though the sector is unorganised, there are very few branded players in this market, that’s where we see the opportunity.” Jacob Chandy, VP – Sales and Marketing, Rittal India Pvt. Ltd.

ittal India Pvt. Ltd., with its continuous efforts and improvements, has been establishing itself in the field of industrial enclosures business to become one of the promising players in the industry. In an interaction with OEM Update, Jacob Chandy discussed about what is driving the market and about challenges to market growth.

How do you look at your position in the automation market? We command a very good position, especially in the automation market. Today, when it comes to automation enclosures and controls system enclosures, Rittal is being preferred by customers over the years. What are the products and technology you offer in the automation segment? In the automation segment our major product is enclosures, whether it is the large enclosure or small enclosures. Today, any automation product needs to fit into its environment unless it’s a field instrument. All these products get into enclosures and so we are there, we cater to the entire process and also include for the electrical system, and the junction boxes. As far as technology is concerned, our differentiator would be that everybody fabricates in metal. We manufacture enclosures; we don’t fabricate the way basic fabrication is done. Our USP is the VIP production, which is required today in the painting process. We paint our enclosures the way a car is painted, except for the last stage, which is the product coating stage, the pattern is completely the same as the car. We have enclosures for indoor applications as well as for outdoor applications.

How do you see the driving factors for the market and opportunities? Well, I will say enclosures are required for every application, whether you have a street light and you need a junction box below it, it’s an enclosure. Whether you find a toll booth, you will get an enclosure there. Today when the market is growing, there is a lot of infrastructure, a lot of power plants, a number of roads and highways; this is where we see tremendous opportunity for enclosures. We also expect the market to change. The more projects planned, the more enclosures required Almost 70 per cent of the market is made up of the unorganised sector. There are very few branded players in this market, that’s where we see the opportunity. The unorganised sector presents tremendous opportunity for us. What are the present challenges? The first challenge is the competition from the unorganised sector where the price levels are very low. This is possible because they do not follow any quality standards. The second challenge is that enclosures are still not considered as important elements in any projects. So that is the challenge we face of how to educate the customers of the importance good enclosure. How do you see the potential of your automation business in India? We are not into automation as such; however, we provide enclosures to automation vendors like ABB, Honeywell and Siemens. We supply enclosures to automation market. What are your future plans to gain maximum market share from this potential market? The plan is to shift the market to another sector. Currently, the unorganised sector has got its own challenges in term of power requirements, and labour requirements. Going forward, we see a lot of local discontinuing their business and they are not able to match our volumes as well. We have our own warehouses: one in the East, one in the North,two in the West and one in the South. With Rittal warehouses stalking the standard products, we should be able to respond quickly to customer requirements. This is the biggest plan we have in addition to taking the market away from the unorganised sector. n

At the heart of this universal system integration capability is flexible realtime Ethernet compatibility and feedback interfacing, built-in functional safety, and the ability to be used in many different types of control system architectures - from centralised control to intelligent stand-alone motion solutions. The drives may even be configured using a range of different continuous/peak power output modes to optimise them for applications with different precision, dynamic performance and duty cycle requirements. Thanks to this flexibility, ABB expects the new MotiFlex drives to appeal to OEMs and automation engineers designing for an exceptionally broad range of continuous and heavy-duty application sectors including printing, papermaking, converting, textiles, plastics and steel production. MotiFlex e180 is an all-new design, but one which builds on the success of ABB’s earlier three-phase Ethernet Powerlink-compatible e100 drive range, and offers a flexible upgrade path. In total, nine new drives offer a choice of continuous power outputs up to 90A, and peak outputs up to a maximum of 120A. Four different continuous/peak output level and time combinations can be selected for each of the nine power levels, providing great scope for matching drive performance to 22

specific applications - including extended lifecycle operation in 24/7 environments. At the heart of the drive’s flexibility is a universal Ethernet communications capability. MotiFlex e180 drives may be software-configured for EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP or Powerlink based systems - with further options in development. The drives also support many different forms of feedback including incremental and digital absolute encoders with different output formats, resolvers and the new generation of Hiperface DSL encoders which combine motor power and feedback in a single cable and offer significant cost savings on cabling and installation time for companies building large multi-axis systems.

Each drive also comes with a substantial range of builtin I/O including six digital inputs, two fast latch inputs, four digital outputs, two analog inputs and an analog output, a high power relay output, and a PTC sensor for motor thermal protection. MotiFlex e180’s extensive built-in functionality allows drives to be employed in many different control system architectures. The softwareselectable Ethernet communications capability makes it easy to build systems using PLCs from any vendor. Alternatively, the drives’ intelligence can be used in more decentralised architectures, performing profiling locally on the drive and reducing the load on the central controller. Unusually for this kind of architecture, ABB’s generic drive interface can be customised easily, making it easy for machinery OEMs to create applicationspecific functionality. In addition to working with centralised PLC or PC controllers, ABB offers its own embedded machinery controllers including the NextMove e100 - which is ideal for Powerlink-networked systems - and a brand new high-performance addition to ABB’s well-known AC500 PLC range for EtherCATnetworked systems. n December 2014 n OEM Update

JCB eyeing to make most out of ‘Make in India’ campaign

“JCB has been championing the theme of ‘Make in India’ for many years now and will continue to do so, with zero defect (One Global Quality), with zero effect and sell everywhere.” Amit Gossain, EVP - Sales, Marketing and Business Development, JCB India

CB India Ltd. is today one of the fastest growing companies in the Indian earthmoving and construction equipment industry. The company has been recording remarkable growth rates year on year. Mr Gossain talks about JCB’s approach to strengthen itself in market through ‘Make in India’ campaign.

JCB’s role in ‘Make in India’ The need for infrastructure development in India is enormous however, the Government needs to kick start the on ground movement. The primary agenda of the Government should be to debottleneck stalled infrastructure projects on ground and increase investments in the sector. Recently PM Narendra Modi has launched ambitious ‘Make in India’ mission. Commenting on the same, Mr Gossain says, “With the Government’s ‘Make in India’ campaign, the Indian Infrastructure sector will get a major boost in the coming years and so will the Indian construction equipment sector. India needs $250 billion investment in 20 years to put in place a basic urban infrastructure relating to transport, water supply, sanitation and solid waste management alone.” JCB exports to Africa, Middle East, South East Asia and the Indian sub-continent, and to the parent and sister companies. Moreover, JCB has invested continually including during the down-turn in 2007-08 and now during 2013-14. It has recently inaugurated two new manufacturing plants in Jaipur. “JCB has been championing the theme of ‘Make in India’ for many years now and will continue to do so, with zero defect (Our mantra is One Global Quality), with zero effect (all our plants are green) and sell everywhere,” says Mr Gossain.

Solutions offered Being one of the promising and leading players in the field, JCB has number of solutions to offer in the areas of earthmoving and construction equipment. The company offers a wide range of variants in every product category to ensure that its customers derive the most out of it. The company believes in upgrading our products from time to time to ensure its machines are most innovative and most fuel efficient. It also believes that its flagship product backhoe loader is just getting better with each passing year. Currently, JCB offers 5 variants (2DX, 3DX, 3DX Super, 3DX Xtra and 4DX). It has made some significant changes in its existing range of tracked excavators with industry leading cab, structure, reliability and fuel efficiency. Presently, JCB offers excavators starting from 3-tonne to 36-tonne: JS30, JS 81, JS 120, JS140, JS205LC, JS220LC and JS360. In the compactor segment, JCB has introduced VMT330 tandem roller which is a versatile compactor with high compaction forces and drum offset design. This machine is suitable for compaction in restricted spaces as this has got high kerb clearance. Also, the vibration system and articulated joints are maintenance free. VMT 330 roller provides saving up to ` 1.10 lacs in 3 years, claims the company. Further, JCB presently offers 3 wheel loader models (two variants of 430 ZX, 432 ZX). The two models of 430ZX are 3.3 tonne payload and the 432ZX is for 3.6 tonne payload. JCB wheel loaders come with bucket capacities ranging from 1.5 cum (rock bucket), 1.8 cum (rock bucket) to 3.1 cum buckets. “JCB wheel loaders are capable of continuous hours of uninterrupted and productive operation,” assures Mr Gossain. “We provide best in class operator comfort through ergonomically placed operator controls.” The company has recently introduced two new product lines in the material handling segment – India designed Loadalls (Loadall 7m and Loadall 11m) and India designed skid steers (SSL 135 and SSL 155).

Greases Greases are another application for earth moving equipment where it does not get much of attention of customers as it becomes non priority item. However, poor selection and application of grease can be very expansive practice. It is observed in field that in many of the cases, life of components in off-highway equipment become shortened and re-greasing intervals are very short. Shell has a range of grease under brand name of Gadus for off-highway equipment ranging from grease for pin bush application to draglines, wire ropes, open gears etc. The company has many cases where Shell grease backed by Shell LubeExpert services has delivered great value to customers. ‘Make in India’ It is observed that the industry is looking positively at the new campaign announced by Government – ‘Make in India’. Many professional are sensing the opportunity to expand through the same. “As Shell has a good presence in off-highway segment with approval and relationship with many global and local OEMs, ‘Make in India’ is a good opportunity for us as equipment will be made in India with less of imports and more of exports,” says Mr Jha. The company is well experienced to work with OEMs to offer solution to be more competitive in market in terms of quality. As Shell is a global player, its export oriented unit will have advantage with choosing and recommending Shell for consistency of high performance products. n December 2014 n OEM Update

Haynes plans to expand in India sensing huge potential

“When it comes to manufacturing and use of our products in India, we see a significant potential for our company.” Dr Vinay Deodeshmukh, Market Manager, Haynes International

aynes International, Inc. is one of the leading developers, manufacturers and marketers of high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys used in corrosion and high-temperature applications. On the sidelines of CORCON conference held in Mumbai recently, Dr Vinay Deodeshmukh speaks to Parag Pujari and analyses the current status of industry. He also considers India as big potential market.

Your session was about corrosion in petrochemicals, chemicals and fertilisers industries. So how do you see the awareness in industry in this regard? It is very important to have technical information exchange. CORCON conference organised by NACE India section provides the platform to achieve the required knowledge base in the country, as India tries to establish itself globally as a manufacturing hub. There is significant awareness in the industry to mitigate corrosion. The US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released a break-through study on the direct costs associated with metallic corrosion in nearly every US industry sector, from infrastructure and transportation to production and manufacturing. Results indicate that the total annual estimated direct cost of corrosion in the US is approximately 3.1 per cent of the nation’s GDP. Mitigating corrosion would significantly save money and there is a significant push to minimise losses incurred from corrosion not only in the US and Europe, but also in India. What is your strategy to grow in India and how 48

has been your journey so far? So far our journey in India has been slow but steady; however we see India as a potentially big market. As Haynes International is a global company and we want to grow geographically as well, we are focussed towards growing in India. Haynes International has always been at the forefront of developing and producing high performance alloys and related products to meet the increasing demands of the industry. Nickel alloys are in general considered exotic alloys in the industry and are rather expensive compared to stainless steels and carbon steels. Solutions to mitigate corrosion with the use of nickel alloys have a big potential in India. We started our own office in India 9 years ago which is now based in Chennai. In the past, materials selection in India has always been ‘cost-driven’ rather than ‘performancedriven’, however, there is a change in this trend as the Indian industry is now keen on minimising down-time with the push for the use of high performance alloys instead of selecting alloys on the basis of cost. How do you see the current Indian market and new government’s approach to encourage the business in India? There is a big potential for growth in India. As PM Narendra Modi has initiated ‘Make in India’ campaign, international commodities are being welcomed to India. Now as more plants get built in India, there will be more corrosion related problems. Many times corrosion related failures can also be a safety concern. The key point would be to have technical information exchange to be able to stand and solve those problems in future. NACE International is just trying to achieve that by organising conferences such as CORCON and training sessions. What are the safety measures being taken by your company for the workers? Safety is extremely important for Haynes International. Safety is our prime focus and the basic principle our company is based on. For us, it’s very important to be well prepared to minimise the probable risk or the risk of accidents. Believing in ‘prevention is better than cure’, we conduct safety workshops.We conduct safety December 2014 n OEM Update

Speak Out updates daily, weekly and monthly at different levels within the company. Would you like to mention any particular solution offered from your side? We produce two different families of alloys which are called corrosion resistant alloys and high temperature alloys. High temperature alloys are used above 550 C and corrosion resistant alloys are used below 550 C. Corrosion resistant alloys are typically used when some medium is present like hot concentrated acid such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid. These acids are very aggressive, so the heat exchangers, reactor vessels require alloys that could handle these acids. Corrosion resistant nickel alloys are mainly used in the chemical processing industry and in the areas of energy, health and environmental, oil and gas, pharmaceutical and flue gas desulfurisation industries. The attributes of HASTELLOY alloys include high resistance to uniform attack, localised corrosion resistance, stress corrosion

cracking resistance, and ease of welding and fabrication. Whereas high temperature alloys are primarily used in the aircraft gas turbine engines and land-based gas turbine engines, they are also used in the CPI, petrochemical and fertiliser industries. Can you please share your future plans about expansion? Yes, geographically we see Asia as a big and growing market including China, South East Asia and India. We do see Europe and North America as mature markets; and now see significant growth in the Asian market. India is trying to catch up with China on many fronts. When it comes to manufacturing and use of our products in India, we see a significant potential for our company. We have made significant investments in our mills in the US to improve our manufacturing capacity and capabilities. We currently have sales offices and service centres in different parts of the world including Europe, North America, and in Asia – India, Singapore, and China. n

pumps & Valves

How technology is transforming the valves industry The valve industry is seizing new opportunities and the statistics are overwhelming. The industry is experiencing an upsurge in the demand for valves. cost of all valves is approximately 2 per cent of total factory and machinery cost. In India, Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL) is one of the largest manufacturers of valves since over six decades. It has got accredited with ISO 9001 and introduced sluice valve in India. KBL offers wide product range including cast steel GGC, single, double and triple offset butterfly valves, suction diffuser valves, triple duty valves, ball valves, tamper proof kinetic air valves, swing type non-return valve and foot valve, impulse cum thermodynamic steam trapping device, etc.

he valves today have practically found place in every sector. All core sectors like power, oil and gas, water, infrastructure projects, metal and mining, chemicals, drugs, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, require various types of valves for expansion of capacities, de-bottlenecking or routine maintenance and repair of factories. Valve is a small but critical support device that is omnipresent because it is a must for operation and control of all big devices and processes.

Current scenario Currently world valve market size is $ 62 Billion with North America and West Europe as the largest markets. The global demand for valves is expected to grow and reach $ 75 Billion by 2017. China, Africa, Middle East and India are likely to be the fastest growing markets while oil and gas, chemicals, power, metal, pharmaceuticals, marine and water resources will be the fastest growing segments. India constitutes around 2 per cent of Asiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valve demand with ` 10,000-crore market size. The valve industry being an intermediate industry is completely dependent on the growth of the core sectors in the Indian economy. Therefore, with an expected growth in the oil and gas, power, pipeline, steel, infrastructure, petrochemicals and pharmaceutical industries, the demand for valves is also expected to gather steam. On an average total 50

Transforming phase Valve industry is transforming from low technology valves to a range of high and medium technology products. The growth in nuclear industry is spurring the development of high technology valves. KBL with N, NPT and MO certifications will be at an advantageous position to cater the demand arising from nuclear industry. The certification also serves as an assurance of the capability to address the critical applications. Power generation shift from low efficiency conventional thermal power plants to high efficiency ultra-mega power plants with super critical coal fired boiler technology will create the demand for high technology valves. The Indian valve industry needs to collaborate and work closely with the end users to rise up to the global challenges, demands and opportunities and grow together. Over the period, manufacturing technologies are evolving and new technologies are emerging in the valve industry. KBL boasts state-of-the-art manufacturing infrastructure including co-ordinate measuring machines, lapping machines, horizontal boring machines, large size vertical turret lathe, CNC machines and drilling machines. Collaboration with end users has helped KBL to come up with innovative products like cast steel gate, globe and check valves, gland less resilient seated sluice valves, tamper proof kinetic air valves, suction diffuser and triple duty valves. KBL has recently acquired FM certification and UL listing for its gate valves for fire protection. December 2014 n OEM Update

pumps & Valves It also offers structural analysis (stress and deflection), seismic analysis, thermal analysis, life cycle tests, energy audits and computational fluid dynamics analysis to its customers. With the advancements in electronics, valves are also becoming smart in its operations. Aptly designed, smart and energy efficient valves are the need of an hour. KBL suction diffusers and triple duty valves significantly reduce extensive piping, valves and space requirements. Materials and challenges Material cost accounts to around 60 per cent of the total cost of valve. Carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex and super duplex steel, ductile iron or other materials in cast / forge form are needed to manufacture valves. Valve supply prices are fixed by the competition prevailing in the market, so it is imperative to improve on raw material and conversion costs. Higher operational efficiencies and innovation help add directly to the bottom line. KBL provides valves with advance technology glass flake filled coatings which improve reliability and performance in the hazardous environment. Today, the key challenge to deliver valve on time to the market is the availability of quality castings. In-house foundry significantly

benefits KBL to produce and supply quality casting on schedule. Export market KBL exports valves to foreign countries like USA, Oman, Sharjah, Laos, Vietnam and South East Asia. There is replacement market in the mature economies and large untapped market exists in the developing economies of Africa, West Asia, South America and the undeveloped East Europe. Exports for Indian valve industry will grow at 10-12 per cent owing to the competitive edge with India like technically qualified manpower and low manufacturing costs. With the national and international references like Massachusetts Water Resource Authority, Sohar Oman, National Thermal Power Corporation Sipat, Star Steel International LLC Rebar and Structural Mill Sharjah; KBL is well positioned to address the opportunities prevailing in the global market. n Authored by-

igus polymers offers high machine reliability at low cost igus, the plastics expert presents a new tribo-tape and other new products for the machine tool industry

ricing pressure is increasing in the machine tool industry in order to keep pace with international competitors. So it is necessary for manufacturers to be able to use high-quality and reliable components at a low cost. igus offers products for machine tools that are high quality and also cost-effective. The tribo-tape made of a new material, the lubricantfree polymer slewing ring bearing with individually adjustable swivel angle, or the new chip-proof R2.75 energy tube. ‘Save money – safe quality’: This igus slogan symbolises the provision of reliability in conjunction with cost savings to the customer. Thus product and process costing for machine tool manufacturers should be reduced without compromising on quality. A novelty is the tribo-tape made of the material iglidur V400. The liner is now available in a more wearresistant material. This withstands temperatures of up to 200 C and is resistant to media and easy to bond. An example of this would be in machine beds; the iglidur tribo-tape provides freedom in the construction of gliding surfaces.

Protection against chips Constructed on the basis of the cost efficient E2 principle (two parts per chain link) made of tribologically optimised plastics, the energy tube of the R2 series also provides protection against external dirt accumulation and flying chips. The contours of the lid are smooth and its curvature and narrow manufacturing tolerances ensures that there is no accumulation of chips between the stop dogs. At the same time the two-side flip-open lid saves assembly time, since they need not be completely removed to equip the energy tube with cables. Due to the double stop dogs the R2.75 energy tube can absorb high additional loads and handle even long unsupported lengths. The integrated grid also ensures a firm hold of the interior separation, even in side-mounted applications. All cables are effectively protected from abrasion and wear by smooth interiors and modular partitioning systems using snap-on separators. Ready to install iglidur PRT slewing ring bearings The ready to install iglidur PRT slewing ring bearings, widely used in the pivoting arms of control panels and screens of machine tools, are now available with individually adjustable angle stop. The angle range is freely selectable and adjustable in increments of 2°. If a subsequent adjustment of the angle is necessary 52

during operation, this can be easily performed by manually converting the stop dogs. The conversion of the variable twist limitation does not require anything more than the manual loosening and shifting of stop dogs and pins. Plastic gliding elements made from the proven igus material iglidur J are used in the slewing ring bearings, so that any external lubrication and maintenance can be fully dispensed with, avoiding machine downtimes. n December 2014 n OEM Update
