Though the government has taken few steps like allowing more FDI in defence, tax benefits for investment and abolishing the inverted duty structure for several products — the efforts are yet to yield results. Now, in an aim to boost the domestic manufacturing sector and reduce imports, the government launches the ‘Make in India’ mission.

However, considering the recent performance of manufacturing sector in India, it seems that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ vision will be really difficult to realise. It has been observed that new investments in the manufacturing sector as of financial year 2013-14 have declined at an annual negative average rate of 21.5 per cent since 2009-10.

Manufacturing sector accounts for about 21 per cent share in total live investments attracted by various public and private sector sources across India during the past financial year. However, according to Assocham, out of the total live investments worth over ` 30 lakh crore attracted by the manufacturing sector across India as of financial year 2013-14, about 44.5 per cent investment projects worth over ` 13 lakh crore remained non-starter.

Schneider presents new measurement software - SAPHIR QD D

r. Heinrich Schneider Messtechnik, one of the leading companies in production metrology, has presented its new measurement and analysis software SAPHIR QD and a new series of projectors.

“SAPHIR QD clearly belongs to the age of Metrology 4.0. as inspired by Industry 4.0,” explains Wolfram Kleuver, MD, Dr. Heinrich Schneider Messtechnik. “This is because the work piece automatically integrates itself into the measurement process as an information carrier, without an RFID chip being required.”

Measurement with the SAPHIR QD software is easy to complete. The workpieces to be measured can even be placed on the measurement table in a mirror inverted way

– the part will nevertheless be recognised so that measurement can be performed.

In the development of SAPHIR QD, the design engineers have not only provided for the measurement of individual parts, but have also succeeded in integrating functionalities for the measurement of several identical parts as well as several different parts. Also the programming

feature has been paid attention. Whenever a work piece without a dedicated measurement programme is placed on the measurement table, the contour of the part will nonetheless be recognised immediately.

The software will automatically identify the centroled of the workpiece and then perform an alignment operation. By placing arrow heads in the locations to be measured on the workpiece, the user can trigger an automatic transfer of measurement locations to the measurement programme.

Alternatively, this task can also be entirely delegated to the software itself because the software is capable of capturing all measurable elements and integrating them into the measurement programme as required.

ZIEHL-ABEGG’s 25 years of EC technology in ventilation sector 25

years ago, ZIEHL-ABEGG laid the foundations for the launch of energysaving EC motors in ventilation technology.

This came as the result of Germany's telephone exchanges changing to digital technology. The new technology required safe and reliable cooling of the operating rooms.

resulted in an energy-saving product when combined with the fan.

"In the first EC applications, the motor and the electronics were separate units," said Mr Leutwein. From 1998 on, ZIEHLABEGG supplied the first axial fans from the

FH035-065 and FC040-063 model series with integrated EC controller. These fans from the ETAvent model series were mainly deployed in the fields of thermodynamics and agriculture.

The product range was extended from 2000 onwards with three-blade agricultural fans, the models FE071 and FE091.

The call for tender by paved the way for the use of EC motors. Until then, fans in ventilation systems were driven using uncontrolled asynchronous motors. The first attempt to significantly reduce power consumption was the use of frequency converters as a control device.

"Back then, the postal service wanted to have the energy requirement included in the offer," remembered Gerhard Leutwein, Development Head, ZIEHL-ABEGG for control technology. The new call for tender took into account the power consumption for the next 10 years when calculating the retail price for the ventilation systems. Or to put it simply, fans could be fitted with a much more expensive motor, as long as this September 2014 OEM Update 10

Gerhard Leutwein, Head of Electronics Development at ZIEHL-ABEGG, presents an older device (right) alongside the current technology: a modern EC motor and a Cpro centrifugal fan made from high-performance plastic.

3D printing technologies to revolutionise rapid tooling applications

Ido Aylon, GM (South Asia), Stratasys Ltd & Prasad Rodagi, Founder Director, Altem at seminar on Trends in 3D Printing by Altem Technologies

R

ecent developments in 3D printing and direct digital manufacturing (DDM) technologies are redefining the design and manufacturing processes across all the segments.

According to Ido Eylon, GM (South Asia), Stratasys Ltd said, “3D printing is an extremely valuable tool in the injection moulding industry worldwide. It can help shorten the overall product development cycle and is more cost effective when only a few parts are needed. PIMTs (3D printed injection moulding tool) can be built really cheaply and fast, ready to inject in a few hours.”

3D printed injection mould tools are suitable for small production series but since tools cost is low, they are commercially viable also when only a few parts are needed. The Stratasys Polyjet-based 3D printed injection moulding tool (PIMT) can be built very cheaply and rapidly, and are typically ready to inject in a matter of a few hours.

PIMTs can be used to inject polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS, and thermoplastic elastomers. PIMTs are printed using Objet ABS-like material which is a tough and heat resistant polymer.

Altem Technologies is a strategic vision partner of Stratasys Ltd. which is one of the leading manufacturers of 3D printers and 3D production systems for office-based rapid prototyping and direct digital manufacturing solutions. Altem recently showcased “trends and applications in 3D printing” in a seminar held in Bangalore.

CNC Machining

Ace Micromatic aims to make CNC technology affordable “The main objective of our group is to make CNC technology affordable and we are working relentlessly on it,” says T K Ramesh, CEO, Micromatic Machine Tools Pvt. Ltd.

A

ce Micromatic Group is a group of companies namely Ace Manufacturing Systems Ltd. (AMS), Ace Designers, Pragati Automation, Micromatic Machine Tools Pvt. Ltd. and Pioneer CT. Mr Ramesh shares his views on needs of Indian market when it comes to offerings of CNC sector.

About Ace Micromaitc Group Ace Micromatic Group is one of the largest machine tool groups in India with a presence in many parts of world. The group specialises in manufacturing CNC turning solutions, CNC grinding solutions, CNC machining solutions and automation equipment.

It also has its own manufacturing software company named Pioneer Computing Technologies (PCT) which makes useful software solutions tohelp increase productivity of software. The group has more than 32 offices across India and around 260 engineers active on the field.

Works in CNC sector In earlier stage, CNC machines were typically imported, and spare parts and electronic components were expensive as well. People were very concerned about the cost and technology was not spreading at a good pace. Ace Micromatic learned about the situation and offered Jobber from its side to meet the market requirements.

September 2014 OEM Update 16

“We were into special turning machines in the beginning. In 1986 we made our first CNC machine. The main objective of our group is to make CNC technology affordable and we are working relentlessly on it,” says Mr Ramesh. “70 per cent of output of metal cutting parts goes directly or indirectly into the automotive industry.

We designed, developed and brought India’s first truly indigenously made cost-effective CNC called Jobber in 1998.”

Technology matters According to Mr Ramesh, there are basically two types of technology. One is product technology in which machine gets better in its operation, faster in performance and overall cost-effective. Other one is technology from user perspective. It is needed to understand users’ point of view also. Better sourcing, better engineering and fine tuning on the electronics and mechanical parts make products enhanced and that’s what customers want.

Firstly CNC machines were not used not only because of its cost but also due to nonavailability of operators and programmers.

Hence the company believes and spends a lot of time and efforts in user perspective through educational training of users.

To understand the ever-changing technology is essential and training and development is also extremely important in this segment.

Specific moves The group has set up number of technology centres in the country. Today Ace enjoys 90 per cent of its sale in India and has 10 per cent from other countries.

“We would like to increase our export to at least 25 per cent in next 4-5 years. Now that we have gone into large numbers, we are seriously focusing on exporting the machines,” informs Mr Ramesh. “We export to Europe, Germany, USA etc. We have subsidiary in China and we are looking at Turkey, Thailand as well.”

Target for future For this year, Ace Micromatic Group will be aiming to achieve turnover of around `1,400 to 1,500 crore. Last year it was around `1,100 crore and it had successfully achieved the mark as well.

“We are setting up a foundry unit close to Bangalore. At present, our total manufacturing capacity is 5,000 machines per annum. However, in next 3 years we would be focusing to manufacture 8,000 machines per annum. We are putting all our efforts to achieve the same,” says Mr Ramesh.

The company has made some investments and is doing backward integration as well.

Further its continuous efforts in design and R&D are assuring a promising future.

Arrow Machine Tools aims to become one stop solution for SMEs “We have introduced machines with less space, less power from 3.7 Kw and lesser cycle time instead of Turret and finally with lesser machine cost,” informs R Vaidyanathan, Managing Partner, Arrow Machine Tools

C

NC machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools. Tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. Mr Vaidyanathan talks about the journey of Arrow Machine Tools and its significant achievements.

Specific strategies

Journey so far

It has also implemented centre clamping two side machining simultaneously especially for shafts, this is very much operation saving to avoid two machines and increase accuracy of concentricity as both sides machined simultaneously.

Arrow Machine Tools started its manufacturing activities of machine tool manufacturing of single spindle automatic lathes various models, second operation lathes, small CNC lathes and SPM as per the customers’ requirements. The company caters to customers throughout India mainly for auto parts, textile parts, pump and motor parts, small electrical and electronic parts and domestic appliances etc.

Its operation started in year 1994 and having factory and office at Chennai, it has sales and service set-up throughout India. Today the company has more than 5,000 customers throughout India and abroad.

Major contributions Arrow Machine Tools has introduced small compact CNC lathe with Collet clamping with gang tools, against others do with chuck and turret and tailstock as standard. The company has also presented various options of CNC system and PLC as per requirement instead of standard high end CNC systems.

The company has already started implementing high end technology CNC lathes like Swiss type machine with twin spindle with more live tools and now associated with quality machine tool principles from XKC, Jinnfa, Kitamura etc.

With the above implementations, the company believes that it could be able to save more conventional CNC lathes and VMC into high end machines. Fewer people need to work, more accuracy maintained.

New joint venture To excel in this segment, the company is heading its way through potential partnerships as well. “We have now planned to have joint collaboration with our principles to work for a joint venture to manufacture high end machines and to supply to Indian customers and reasonable cost,” informs Mr Vaidyanathan. “We initially planned to import mechanical parts and fix all the system as per the customer’s choice and slowly planned to have a joint venture agreement for manufacturing starting.”

Future outlook Generally major auto parts come with small diameter and small length.

However, many major customers use bigger diameter machines which consume more power, space and high cycle time.

“We have introduced machines with less space, less power from 3.7 Kw and lesser cycle time instead of Turret and finally with lesser machine cost,” informs Mr Vaidyanathan. “Recently we have also brought various high end technology of CNC lathes with live tools with Autobar feeder for saving more operations and finish with single set-up thus saving more operation cost and increase accuracy and output.” In addition, the company has come up with low cost automation for part loading/ unloading with its machine to save operator cost for high volume jobs.

Though Arrow Machine Tools considers itself a small scale unit today, it estimates its share goes with at least 10 to 15 per cent contribution in the small scale segment. The company has planned for rotary special machines with CNC for various high volume parts in automobile to reduce machine and manpower.

It also focuses to concentrate on autoloading solutions for various requirements as this is the need of the industry at present to reduce cost of production. The company assures that its ultimate aim is to provide one stop solution for all needs of small and medium industries and this has been making it to reduce its production cost and keep accuracy and achieve good volumes with lesser manpower.

It assists manufacturing companies and other industrial groups, who are looking to sell all or part of business, dispose of excess equipment or simply understand the value of assets.

helps such companies to dispose of their surplus old equipment and generate cash in a short period of time to buy new equipment.

“In CNC machines, the controls and automation goes obsolete in shorter span and hence Apex services are considered as a boon to the CNC users,” believes Mr Kumar. “The machine tool manufacturers can provide a buy-back service also, wherein they can partner with third-party vendors like Apex to dispose of the old equipment and

can then use the sale proceedings to book a new machine.”

“We work closely with stakeholders such as dealers, retrofitters and logistics companies. We have strong coverage in CNC and manual gear machines, sheet metal or fabrication, plastic, woodworking, processing plants and others,” says Mr Kumar.

The company is present in UK, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Germany, Italy, Russian Federation, Hong Kong and India. With its representatives in Pune, Faridabad and Mohali, Apex has over 7,000 registered end users who are looking to sell their surplus assets.

Helping hand The Indian CNC machine users now have a professional platform where they can convert their surplus manual or CNC machines to cash to further buy state-of-the-art new machines and fuel growth. “With globalisation taking place and foreign investments in India, companies are adopting the system practices by companies in US and UK for outsourcing management of their assets to third-party vendors,” points out Mr Kumar. “In such cases, Apex helps in identifying, valuation and disposal of assets in a professional and transparent manner within a specified period of time.”

Role of technology The technology involved in CNC solutions is changing rapidly. To remain competitive in the market, the Indian manufacturers need to adopt the new technology and get rid of the old equipment. Apex 23 OEM Update September 2014

Advanced CNC systems to extend competitive edge 1,168 mm (46 inch) as standard and can be customised for the production of even longer parts. Customers are typically prime and sub-contract manufacturers producing mechanical power transmission components and systems for the defence and aerospace, oil/gas drilling, mining, heavy equipment and power generation industries.

Bourn & Koch has partnered with NUM Corporation for over 25 years and today uses NUM’s CNC systems in many of its gear shaping, hobbing and grinding machines, as well as in various other types of metal removal machines, and for numerous CNC upgrade and machine retrofit projects.

Both companies and their customers benefit from this collaboration. Jointly-developed conversational software has been cited by a number of Bourn & Koch customers as a factor in their machine purchasing decisions.

A

dvanced CNC systems from NUM are helping US machine tool manufacturer Bourn & Koch, Inc. to extend its competitive edge in the market by using state-of-theart machine control software. Following a highly successful project to migrate control of powerful 7-axis horizontal gear hobbers to NUM’s Flexium CNC platform, the company is now standardising on this control technology for an extensive range of its gear production machines.

Bourn & Koch chose to upgrade to NUM’s Flexium CNC on its 25H - 400H Series II gear hobbers, starting with the 400H. The speed and power of this machine means that it can replace as many as seven older style gear production machines, making it a popular choice with companies machining large precision components such as bull and cluster gears, worms, shafts, splines and pinions. Capable of accommodating work pieces up to 400 mm (16 in) in diameter, the 400H has an axial travel capability of September 2014 OEM Update 24

The HMI (human machine interface) on the 400H gear hobber makes full use of the software’s capabilities by combining a conversational style dialogue with powerful graphics, which means that the machine operator does not have to use or even know about ISO languages. To produce a part, the operator simply inputs machine setup information such as cutting speeds, work piece and tooling geometry via simple fillin-the-blanks menus, while graphical images provide clear and unambiguous views of the hob tool and resultant gear part. All calculations involved in creating the machine control program for a particular part are handled completely automatically.

The company decided to migrate the design to NUM’s Flexium CNC platform as a matter of course. Tim Helle, President of Bourn & Koch, explains, “We offer customers a choice of CNC – NUM is the standard on most of our gear hobbers – and have a policy of using the latest technology to maximise the performance and cost-effectiveness of our machines. This approach also results in progressively simpler machine operation, with less need for training, and means that spares are readily available, which contributes to machine uptime and reduces customers’ support costs.”

In this instance, moving to NUM’s Flexium CNC also had technical advantages; the system’s faster block processing and loop update times offered the opportunity to reduce the machine’s cycle time and further improve its accuracy. Flexium also features more on-board NC memory, a much wider and unified set of PLC software development tools and increased freedom for OEMs to create application-specific HMIs. This additional control and HMI customisation flexibility allowed Bourn & Koch to enhance various aspects of the gear hobber’s operation.

When the latest 400H Series II gear hobber is offered with NUM CNC, the entire machine is based on NUM motion control technology, with the sole exception of its (C axis) work piece spindle motor, which is a special liquid-cooled direct drive unit capable of generating 560 Nm of torque at 110 RPM. In addition to a Flexium 68 NCK (numerical control kernel) – which is the most powerful model that NUM produces and is capable of controlling up to 32 fully interpolated axes or spindles – and its associated PLC, NUM is supplying all the I/O, drives and servomotors that are used on the machine.

According to Tim Helle, “We have received technical support from NUM Corporation to assist us in making the transition from Axium to Flexium CNC systems and have already started using this CNC platform across our range of gear hobbers. Longer term, we intend offering NUM’s Flexium CNC technology on all our new gear hobbing machines.”

All seven axes of the gear hobber, including the work piece spindle motor, are controlled by the Flexium 68 CNC and NUMDrive C servo drives. The radial (X) and axial (Z) feed axes, as well as the hob head shift (Y), hob head swivel (A) and tailstock (W) axes, are all programmable and are driven by NUM BPH series medium inertia servomotors.

The force applied by the tailstock servo can be changed on the fly during the machine cycle, to accommodate the changing mass of the part and prevent the introduction of any lead error. The hob cutter spindle (B axis)

CNC Machining is driven by an asynchronous NUM AMS motor fitted with a high resolution multiturn encoder, controlled by a NUMDrive C servodrive; a further NUMDrive C module controls the machine’s direct drive work piece spindle motor.

For simplicity and ease of operation, the 400 H gear hobber is equipped with a NUM FS152i operator panel and keyboard, mounted on the front external face of the machine with an ergonomic swing arm. The panel combines a 15-inch touch sensitive screen with an integrated industrial PC running the Windows Embedded operating system, equipped with a solid state disk and dual core processor to provide a fast and responsive HMI. A number of machine functions, such as positive/ negative jog and speed override of selected axes, together with emergency stop, can also be controlled remotely using a cable-linked portable hand wheel.

The machine utilises the full four-axis electronic gearbox capability of NUM’s popular gear hobbing solution, NUMgear, to help speed production of complex gear parts. In conjunction with built-in high-speed synchronisation facilities this allows the axial and radial feeds, and the hob head shift axis,

to be geared to the work piece spindle.

Use of the electronic gearbox is entirely automatic; the machine operator merely needs to enter basic gear manufacturing data, such as the number of teeth, the number of tool starts, the gear module – the 400H can handle a gear module of 6.4 – and the helix angle to define and activate a specific electronic gearing function.

Particular attention has been paid to tool wear management. The software continuously monitors the condition of the hob tooling and employs a pre-programmed tangential hob shifting sequence to ensure that an efficient cutting edge is always engaged during gear generation; the entire process is automatic – it can even be invoked during a machine cycle – and the operator is prompted whenever it is time to check or replace the hob. Undamaged hobs can be reground or recoated many times before they are worn out, which helps to keep tooling cost to a minimum. Hob head synchronisation is maintained throughout the shifting process to minimise disengagement/ re-engagement times and prevent tool or work piece damage.

Bourn & Koch also make use of the software’s non-contact automatic gear

alignment feature to improve throughput on the 400H, by enabling a work piece that already has teeth to be automatically synchronised to the cutting threads of the hob cutter. This is mainly employed for gears that are being re-cut or for hard rehobbing (or skiving) of helical or spur gears after heat treatment to reduce distortion errors.

As Steven Schilling, General Manager of NUM Corporation in Naperville, Illinois, points out, “Bourn & Koch’s decision to adopt Flexium as the CNC platform for all its NUM-based offerings is a considerable accolade, both technically and commercially. We are now in the process of increasing the level of in-depth product training that we provide for its engineering, machine start-up and customer support

teams, to help support this initiative.”

he market is growing and competition intensifies. The supply industry is facing increased competition from new players on the emerging markets. A closer look at the profitability of production sites might help to face increased competition in supply industry.

Component production must become faster, deliver greater precision and show a greater degree of economic viability. What the relevant production solutions should be like, becomes apparent with a closer look at the new vertical turning machine VT 4-4 developed by the turning specialists at EMAG. This machine delivers top efficiency levels in large volume gearbox production.

For a number of reasons, the production of drive and gear shafts represents a very specific key task in the manufacture of automobiles.

For one, many of their components are of a September 2014 OEM Update 26

very detailed and highly complex geometry, on which so much depends. For instance, high-precision gearings ensure a highly effective torque transmission within the gearbox, whilst high-precision shoulders and grooves guarantee the safe connectivity of components. The efficiency of the powertrain as a whole depends to a large degree on the functionality of their shafts. And these highly complex components must be produced in their millions – quickly and at the greatest precision. On completion of the central turning work the shaft should ideally display a geometry that is as close to its final contour as possible. The tolerances production planners are looking for in this respect are in the micrometre range.

How can these high-performance requirements be reconciled? The turning specialists at EMAG have been focusing on this

particular question for decades. The machine builder’s development team creates tailor-made, highly innovative manufacturing solutions for the production of shaft-type components. Their vertical, 4-axis shaft turning machine VT 4-4 in particular follows this tradition.

It opens up new potentials in the machining of components of a maximum length of 1,050 mm and a maximum diameter of 200 mm: Simultaneous: Machining is carried out in 4 axes at a maximum speed of 4,500 rpm. The process employs two turrets with twelve tool stations each, equipped with turning tools or driven tools (with one station reserved for the gripper).

Automated: Workpiece grippers move the raw-parts to the machining area and remove the finished components, i.e. whilst one gripper inserts a new raw-part into the machine, the other gripper removes the finished component from it.

constant process integrity, as the unhindered chip flow it offers prevents the accumulation of chips in the machining area.

“Last, but by no means least, we have also attached great importance to the ease of operation of these machines“, emphasises Guido Hegener. “After all, the human factor is a very important one when it comes to productivity. We want to make it as simple as possible for the operator.” To achieve this, all relevant components – from electrics to hydraulics and including the cooling system – are very easy to access, with the user interface being of an intuitive, clearly laid out design.

A wide range of possibilities All in all, the VT 4-4 opens up a wide range of possibilities for the production planner in gearbox manufacturing. Use of the machine is made even more economical by its compact design, with the vertical alignment taking up very little space. There is also no necessity for additional automation, as this already forms part of the machine.

Short cycle times, a high degree of flexibility and a small footprint...

What to the experts think of the chances of success for their new machine concept? “We are extremely optimistic” declares Guido Hegener. “With its very attractive price-performance ratio the VT4-4 ingeniously complements our vertical shaft turning programme. It is the reason why we believe our chances in the marketplace to be excellent.”

A reduction in unit costs is guaranteed “This principle offers a great step up in performance in the production of shafts – especially in an environment that deals with large component volumes“, explains Dr Guido Hegener, Managing Director of EMAG Maschinenfabrik GmbH. “Owing to the fast workpiece changeovers and the powerful machining in four axes cycle times are very short. In combination a simple automation system, this ensures that the unit costs are kept to a minimum.

This is of great benefit to the user. “In its standard execution, the machine is equipped with two space-saving, recirculating conveyors that accommodate up to 28 raw-parts and 28 finished components respectively. Transfer and turnover units or robots ensure that a number of VT machines can be linked up cost-effectively and with great ease.

Focusing on component quality Of particular importance to the development engineers at EMAG is the quality of the components produced. For this purpose, the machine base is made of the polymer concrete MINERALIT. It carries all technology modules: the powerful workspindle, the turrets and the tailstock. Its rigid, vibration resistant construction guarantees an equally vibration resistant turning process that guarantees high-quality surfaces and highly accurate geometries.

Automation

“Manufacturers who do not evolve and keep up with the pace of technology, risk finding themselves out of the market in a short time”

IT challenges of OEMs F

aster and more precise, versatile, reliable and energy efficient machines are the future for industrial automation. They can also be the present. OEMs and machine manufacturers face a variety of technological trends in what is a revolutionary era for industrial automation based in motion control, communications and intelligent vision systems – all of which can significantly help improve room many machines and processes.

Manufacturers who do not evolve and keep up with the pace of technology, risk finding themselves out of the market in a short time.

Sectors such as packaging have gone through a strong technological revolution, moving from systems based on mechanical cam to motion control and gaining the ability to offer higher performance.

As technologies evolve, the industry sees the possibility to automate more complex processes that previously were not even considered as feasible. One of the challenges is being able to stay current and understand new, fast-evolving technologies and offer new solutions to customers.

September 2014 OEM Update 28

Energy efficiency is an issue that is becoming more important. In addition to the usual questions about the number of pieces per hour, there will also be questions about the power consumption to manufacture them.

That is why solutions such as higher efficient motors or automated stop-start systems should be used depending on the process status.

This technological evolution must come with a skilled staff that can develop and apply these new technologies on machines and in facilities. That is why training is the foundation for the future of technology. Here there are also challenges to be overcome: education must go hand in hand with the company and its needs.

However these challenges are not only found in the production environment; other challenges include the delivery of information from the machine to higher-level systems for decision making. Any machine, even the smaller ones, must have the ability to offer communication and basic data.

We will soon be hearing a lot about smart machines, i.e., intelligent machines that can modify processes depending on the status of raw materials or environment conditions.

These smart machines can report to production when a batch has been produced, send along productivity ratios, flag warnings to maintenance in case of a failure or detect an unusual consumption on a motor and report a possible fault.

he extended EU Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS II) became valid at the beginning of the year, therefore tightened permissible limits for hazardous substances in more and more areas. From the 22nd July, products with unacceptably high concentrations, such as lead-containing plain bearings face extinction in the medical technology industry. igus offers iglidur polymer bearings as a RoHS-compliant alternative that promises legal and functional reliability to the manufacturer, and safe use and disposal to the user.

Since the mid-1990s, limitations on the use of environmentally hazardous substances were enforced for electrical and electronic devices and their components all over Europe. Steadily tightened guidelines under the abbreviation “RoHS”, (Restriction of [the use of certain] Hazardous Substances) set limit values for the use of industriallynecessary but potentially harmful substances such as, chromium, lead, mercury or bromine. With the new RoHS II standard, a maximum value of 0.1 per cent of the total weight is determined for most. Many manufacturers changed their production September 2014 OEM Update 30

accordingly in the past, and others must now respond because exemptions, such as for the medical and control technology, will expire this month. Since similar regulations are also put in place in countries such as the USA, Japan or China, these standards must be met increasingly with a global perspective.

However, metallic composite bearings often have alloys that are not compliant with RoHS.

Reliable planning and amendments with iglidur plain bearings Customers, who consider the RoHS compliance, have an immediate alternative with iglidur bearings. This is because the substances covered by the Directive basically have no role to play in this material made of thermoplastic compounds. Based on the principle of dry lubrication, the iglidur bearing technology uses tribologically optimised base polymers, solid lubricants and fillers of exclusively non-metallic and RoHS-safe ingredients.

The provisions of the RoHS Directive are also subject to permanent review and thus there is the possibility of future revisions of the

legal requirements. Manufacturers, whose equipment and components today fulfil the admissible limits, or are even excluded from the standards today, must expect a further tightening. iglidur polymer bearings provide planning reliability. In addition to their traditional advantages of freedom from maintenance and lubrication, all igus products are without hazardous substances. RoHS compliance is therefore one of the natural features of iglidur plain bearings. The igus plain bearings are safe not only in terms of laws and regulations. By the option of life prediction and configuration using online tools, all metal bearings can be replaced quickly and easily by iglidur plain polymer bearings.

Water Treatment

Consider peristaltic pumps in water and wastewater Peristaltic (hose) pump technology, epitomised by the Abaque series, proves its worth in critical water and wastewater handling operations contamination, which enables them to handle the toughest water and wastewater pumping applications, from abrasive and aggressive fluids to shear-sensitive and viscous materials.

The pumps are self-priming and offer suctionlift capabilities to 9 metres as well as the ability to run dry continuously without affecting the pump’s performance. Ductile-iron and steel construction lets the pump produce discharge pressures as high as16 bar (232 psi).

W

ater is quite an amazing commodity.

It is one of the building blocks of life—organisms ranging from human to plants to animals cannot survive without it.

Municipalities could not exist without a readily available supply of water, which delivered to a wide array of, for example, residences, businesses, hospitals and community centres.

The operations in many of the world’s major industries would also halt without water, which is used as an ingredient in thousands of finished products. Water is also used as a cleaning or cooling agent for equipment in many industrial equipment applications. In instances like these, water often becomes wastewater, which must either be treated or disposed of.

So, there is a paramount need for pumping technology that can efficiently, reliably and safely handle water, from its most pristine state to the soiled variety that flows into a water-treatment facility. Wastewater can be especially problematic for pumping equipment because it can become fouled with abrasives or solids that can harm pumps, or hazardous materials that must be contained in order to protect the safety of plant personnel and the environment.

Today’s challenge The design and operational characteristics of peristaltic (hose) pump technology make it a wise choice in a wide range of waterhandling applications. Peristaltic pumps satisfy September 2014 OEM Update 32

the requirements of such a wide range of applications because their operation is based on the alternating contraction and relaxation of the hose.

A smooth-wall, flexible hose in the pump casing squeezes between shoes on the rotor and the inside of the pump casing. This action moves the product through the hose at a constant flow rate. Since the product only contacts the hose and not the internal pump components, this pumping technology is very suitable for abrasive and corrosive applications. This pump style also maintains excellent volumetric consistency and its sealfree design makes it dry-run, self-priming and low-slip capable, while eliminating any potential leak or contamination points.

Another consideration when selecting a hose material is its ‘fatigue resistance’. A hose material that is susceptible to developing cracks and holes is not as desirable as a material that can reliably handle the demands of the repeated contraction and relaxation of the hose, especially when particulate-laden liquids are being pumped.

Solution offered Pump Solutions Group (PSG) has offered one specific solution for water-handling applications—Abaque series peristaltic (hose) pumps.

Abaque series pumps feature a seal-free design that eliminates leaks and product

The Abaque pump’s hoses are available in three materials of construction — natural rubber, EPDM and Buna N, all of which have been chosen because of their high levels of fatigue resistance.

Conclusion The water and wastewater universe is one of the most diverse in the global economy.

This diversity means that the pumps used in all types of water and wastewater operations must be nimble and versatile enough to cope with fluids with many different levels of viscosity, temperature, corrosiveness, toxicity, abrasiveness and particulate levels, to name a few. For more than 80 years, peristaltic pump technology, as epitomised by the standard setting operation and reliability of the Abaque series peristaltic (hose) pump family from PSG, has been a leading choice in the water and wastewater industry.

Capacitive Deionisation: an introduction Capacitive deionisation is a desalting technology used for removing dissolved ions from feed waters by enabling adsorption to oppositely charged carbon electrodes in presence of an applied potential difference

T

he past few decades have seen a significant growth in the efforts expended at developing low cost and energy efficient technologies for removal of dissolved salts from a variety of streams such as industrial waste water, brackish water as well as sea water. Prominently adopted ones among these technologies include reverse osmosis (RO), membrane distillation (MD), multi stage flash distillation (MSF), electro dialysis/ reversal (ED/EDR), ion exchange media, and most recently, capacitive deionisation, forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO).

The applications facilitated by these technologies range from industrial use (cooling tower blow down recycle, boiler water feed, process water reuse, etc.), to brackish water desalination and more importantly sea water desalination. Among these technologies, RO and EDR have been widely adopted as efficient processes for brackish water desalination, even though the extent of applicability of these technologies to sea water desalination is limited by the operational challenges such as high energy consumption, chemical costs pertaining to membrane cleaning and replacement.

In such a scenario, capacitive deionisation (CDI) offers an efficient alternative capable of achieving high salt removal efficiency at lower energy consumption and much higher recovery and yet without the conventional challenges such as membrane fouling/scaling, heavy chemical CIP requirements, and membrane replacement.

Advantages of CDI Each of the conventional desalination technologies such as RO, ED, MSF, MEF, etc. suffer from several draw backs such as high energy consumption either due to high pressure requirements (RO) or high heat requirements (evaporation and distillation).

In addition, RO suffers from high scaling potential that necessitates frequent CIP procedures leading to high operating costs.

Extensive pre-treatment steps such as UF, anti-scalant dosage, etc. are also required to maintain sufficient quality of the RO feed so as to minimize scaling as well as membrane fouling that can otherwise lead to irreversible damage.

Technology overview Capacitive deionisation is a desalting technology used for removing dissolved ions from feed waters by enabling adsorption to oppositely electrodes in presence of an applied potential difference. The adsorbed ions are then recovered in a highly concentrated stream by reversing the polarity of the electrodes in the subsequent regeneration step as shown in figure 2. The schematic of CDI cell operation is shown in figure 1.

On the other hand, CDI is a low pressure salt removal technology that operates on the principle of separating the contaminant ions from water, thereby requiring less energy as compared to other technologies that strive to separate water from the contaminants. Some major advantages of the CDI technology, in comparison to RO, include ‡ ! SHU FHQW UHFRYHU\ LQ D VLQJOH SDVV SHU FHQW IRU 52

In conclusion, the CDI technology in its current state is already considered a low cost alternative to conventional technologies such as RO and EDR for salt removal from brackish water streams.

Few challenges persist in extending the applicability of this technology into the realm beyond brackish water application and in to the high salinity industrial water as well as sea water desalination.

Nevertheless, having realised the potential for this technology, researchers worldwide are aggressively pursuing the objectives of improving the electrode capacity and properties so that the technology becomes most attractive for high salinity water treatment for industrial, municipal and potable applications.

Pentair’s new solutions to meet wastewater needs Pentair, a leading name in water industry, continues to come up with its new innovative solutions to meet the needs of municipal and industrial wastewater applications

P

entair has developed the Airlift Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) to cater to the needs of municipal and industrial wastewater applications where stringent wastewater discharge norms are expected.

This energy efficient treatment concept comprises of ultra-filtration membrane modules which allows upstream bio-reactors to operate at elevated bio-mass (MLSS).

Pentair’s airlift MBR technology therefore offers an ideal small footprint solution for municipal and industrial wastewater applications. Added to this advantage, the permeate quality is superior (Turbidity < 0.1 NTU) and the same is achieved with very low energy consumption. Some special features of airlift MBR technology are that the modules are placed outside the bioreactor thereby enhancing easy accessibility and clean environment, higher operating flux and low trans-membrane pressure.

Besides airlift MBR, Pentair has developed Crossflow MBR with compact 27 ultrafiltration membrane modules to ensure high quality effluent that can be reused directly or further treated. Crossflow MBR in principle combines the biological process with membrane separation. This technology

X-line Racks

Airlift MBR

works on in-out mode of operation so that the modules are placed outside the reactor which paves way for easy access and maintenance. Typical industrial wastewater sources shall be from refinery, textile, oil and gas, beverage etc. Leachate treatment is a specific application where Pentair’s Crossflow MBR technology is being used.

Pentair’s Aquaflex ultra-filtration membranes offer a reliable solution to meet high standards of turbidity and microbiology when it comes to reuse of polished effluent from wastewater treatment plants.

Pentair has developed Aquaflex skid design with suitable modular characteristics which handle flows up to 800 cum/hr with an installed membrane surface area of 6,600 sq.m. The skid layout offers an optimum footprint and enhances ease of maintenance.

Some special features of this membrane are dead-end filtration with low energy consumption, use of low cost chemicals and small footprint.

Apart from these products, Pentair has also come up with a latest innovative solution called X-Line keeping in mind the customised requirement expected from

September 2014 OEM Update 38

various customers. X-Line is considered to be unique in the market for its serviceability, scalability and flexibility. X-line is developed in such a way that it ensures easy assembly at site so that a considerable amount of assembly hours are saved. X-line in principle uses the proven Aquaflex ultrafiltration membranes for the purpose of effluent polishing in municipal and industrial wastewater applications. Some special features include pre-engineered plug and play, minimised turbulence in the X-line rack / skid and easily scalable.

Pentair’s another technology is ECOPOD which is different from the above in principle that it is not a membrane based technology, rather it is a core biological process oriented technology. ECOPOD is a fixed film wastewater treatment system. It consists of a specially designed contaminant device that houses an engineered plastic media specifically designed to treat domestic wastewater. ECOPOD shall be used for residential / commercial / hospitality wastewater treatment applications. Some of the advantages of ECOPOD are: ANSI / NSF International Standard 40 Class 1 certified, simple design, easy to operate, minimum sludge production, no need for clarification, no washout of mixed liquor, smaller footprint, low energy blowers requirement and minimum maintenance.

GE’s ZeeWeed MBR: effective technology for wastewater reuse GE’s ZeeWeed MBR is one of the leading and effective technologies for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment and reuse

G

E has more than 20 years of design, engineering, installation, commissioning and operations experience of MBR systems since the first installation in 1993. GE’s ZeeWeed Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology is being increasingly adopted by leading customers across India such as Reliance Industries, Infosys Limited, Nestle and Toyota for reuse applications. The solution is proven with over 800 wastewater installations globally, ranging from 50 KLD to 100+ MLD.

Process description ZeeWeed MBR process is a wastewater treatment technology that combines suspended growth biological treatment with immersed membrane filtration. The heart of the process is the ZeeWeed ultra filtration membranes act as the solid-liquid separation step in the process, in place of the secondary clarifiers and tertiary filters of conventional treatment processes.

construction, highly resistant to chemicals, including acids, bases and chlorine, which are used for membrane cleaning.

Individual membrane fibres are combined to form the module, the basic building block of the MBR systems. Modules are further assembled together in ‘cassettes’, which are then installed in the wastewater treatment tanks to complete the process.

MBR for wastewater reuse The result is high quality permeate with very low suspended solids, capable of meeting the most stringent reuse standards globally.

The membrane is a reinforced hollow fibre ultra filtration membrane made of PVDF

Compact footprint: MBR requires compact footprint compared to conventional treatment and minimises construction costs. The ZeeWeed MBR process typically operates at mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentrations in the range of 8,000 to 10,000 mg/L, which is substantially greater than conventional activated sludge processes, and it can lower construction footprint by 60 per cent.

Effluent quality: Biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) are the factors to be considered here. MBR system can achieve consistent effluent quality of BOD1 < 5mg/L, TSS2 < 5mg/L and turbidity < 0.5 NTU compared to conventional effluent quality of BOD < 30mg/L. Depending on the specific application and design requirements, a ZeeWeed MBR plant can achieve high quality nitrified effluent. Phosphorus removal is readily achieved through biological means and/

Process reliability: ZeeWeed MBR effluent quality is not susceptible to hydraulic or organic surges which can negatively affect effluent quality in conventional activated sludge and fixed film plants. At periods of low flow (and organic load), the sludge within the reactor basin simply digests itself without affecting the effluent quality.

Resistance to fouling: The ZeeWeed membrane is an ‘Outside-In’ membrane where the flow of water is from the outside of the membrane to the inside of the hollow fibre, meaning that the inside only sees clean, membrane-filtered water. The bacteria and inert solids removed from the wastewater remain outside the membrane and never enter the membrane to cause fouling.

Exceptional membrane durability: The ZeeWeed membrane has been designed for great durability and resistance to breakage. To achieve this high level of membrane durability ZENON utilises a patented internal support to which the membrane is bonded. This support strengthens the membrane and protects it against tearing and breakage without reducing its flux capacity

Environ offers oxygen transfer testing facility for aerators A

eration system is the heart of any biological ETP/STP and maximum energy is consumed in aeration system to reduce the BOD/COD. As this is a non-productive plant, the energy used in such systems is also a monetary waste for any industry / CETP / STP. So to save such expenses the industry including ETP, CETP, and municipal corporations should enquire whether the invested capital will work efficiently for a long period of time with low maintenance.

There are many aeration systems available in the market like mechanical aerators i.e. slow speed / high speed / aspirator/ aerators with draft tube arrangements, energy efficient aerators, diffused aeration system having many types of diffusers, jet aerators, ELO2 aerators etc. Environ claims to be the only manufacturer in India who has got oxygen transfer testing facility for the aerators up to 150 hp ratings and had tested the oxygen transfer along with mixing efficiency of the prototype aerator before placing the aerator in the market.

At the initial commissioning stage the manufacturer of aeration system, turnkey executors show good results, but after they hand over the plant to the end user say after a period of time of 6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10 months, the efficiency of the out let parameters of the effluent getting disturbed (this is due to inefficient aeration system) and the end user starts facing the problems of not getting results, and mean time the guarantee of the equipment is over.

Environ always prefers to explain the facts to the client and then ask them to take their own decision, in such cases after understanding the technical features and their requirement, the end users are always in a position to take right decisions.

In any mechanical aeration system apart from oxygen transfer, mixing efficiency is equally important. The oxygen transfer and mixing efficiency always depend on the design of the aerator impeller. Each and every aerator impeller has its own influence zone and mixing efficiency and has the limitations to cater particular depth of say 2.5 metres. However, if the tank depth is more than 2.5 metres, then there will be settlement at the floor level, which will create septic conditions and the D.O. level reduces and sometimes goes down to zero.

Nowadays, due to the space constraint, most of the aeration tanks are designed with higher depths. As the depths of the aeration tank is more than 2.5 metres. Environ believes that it is the duty as a aerator manufacturer to design the aerator impeller accordingly considering the depth of the aeration tank. However, it is not possible without doing the experiments or R&D. Environ can reduce 20 to 70 per cent energy in existing aeration system, having the aeration tank depth up to 6 metres, offering the results as per the norms.

VAG offers useful product range for wastewater treatment Functional and technical expertise coupled with industry knowledge makes VAG the correct choice for quality valves requirement

V

AG Group is a well known Germany based company for manufacturing of quality valves and solution providers for water and wastewater applications. VAG has its presence in India since 1950s when VAG supplied huge number of valves directly from Germany to Rourkela steel plant, TATA iron and steel company, Vizag steel plant etc. VAG established its manufacturing facility at Hyderabad in 2008 and achieved ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certifications.

The heart of such plants is pumps. This is why VAG has also been developing pump protection valves for many decades. Especially in the field of wastewater, the VAG LIMU-STOP non-return valve is used, as even in small nominal sizes it is suitable for media containing suspended solids.

VAG product range for wastewater includes butterfly valves, knife gate valves, soft seated gate valves, air valves, slice gates/penstocks and non-return valves.

For inspection purposes, the VAG ZETA knife gate valve is installed.

Further typical valves in wastewater pumping stations include VAG KOS gate valves, various knife-gate valves and penstocks, and as is the case in almost all areas of water and wastewater technology a special type of the resilient seated VAG BETA 300 gate valve.

VAG HADE flap valve

Wastewater pipe lines - Optimum pressure conditions in the pipeline network

Water treatment plant outletsPreventing return flow in outlets

The VAG FLOWJET PE automatic air valve combines the proven VAG DUOJET heavy duty technology with a functional design suitable for wastewater. Due to the use of corrosion resistant, incrustation free synthetic materials, this technology also becomes fit for use with wastewater.

As the realisation of conventional wastewater concepts is costly, more and more network operators decide to dispose of wastewater by pressure drainage via inexpensive pipelines with small nominal diameters.

In wastewater pressure lines, VAG FLOWJET PE automatic air valves fulfil important functions in the protection of pipeline network. Its body is made of incrustation free and corrosion resistant polyethylene. These valves prevent gas from accumulating at high points.

VAG ZETA knife gate valve Wastewater pumping stations - Pump protection has priority

Due to the use of very sturdy materials, the VAG HADE flap valve is suited for wastewater treatment. It can be attached by anchor bolts, plugged in or connected with flanges and thus covers a wide range of applications.

Modern wastewater treatment involves a sequence of coordinated steps: mechanical clarification, biological clarification, final clarification and treatment of the sludge produced. Afterwards, the purified water is discharged into adjacent rivers or other bodies of water mostly via submerged outlet pipes of the treatment plant.

VAG HADE flap valve opens at low differential pressure and is corrosion resistant and maintenance friendly due to its rugged materials. At counter-pressure, the vertical or slanted disk closes automatically and thus prevents return flow. It is also suitable for outlets, both above and below the water level.

Contact:

The VAG ZETA knife gate valve in fully flanged design has a smooth and unobstructed flow passage which prevents the risk of deposits.

Wherever necessary, wastewater pumping stations bridge differences in altitude, sometimes in the form of coupled stations.

They convey wastewater from separated or combined sewage systems to treatment plants via pressure pipeline networks and sometimes cover several kilometres.

YASKAWA offers energy savings with pursuit of power quality “Demand for power is more than the available or generated power and hence the industries and households suffer the power paucity. It’s time to implement the methodologies for the energy savings with pursuit of power quality,” says Akinori Urakawa, President and CEO, Yaskawa India

Y

ASKAWA has been one of the pioneers in innovation with cutting edge technological brilliance for many decades across the globe. YASKAWA’s commitment to produce the energy efficient products and reducing carbon footprint is getting stronger each year. Its technology mainly focuses on creating a greener planet.

Mr Urakawa discusses about the need of energy saving and recent advancement in the field.

In India, companies have faced possible energy shortage due to shut-down of power plants. Further electricity price hikes is forcing them to step up energy saving efforts and thus cut costs.

Fundamental to these efforts are energy saving and energy efficient measures related to rotating devices such as motors and generators used widely across almost all type of industries.

“Demand for power is more than the available or generated power and hence the industries and households suffer the power paucity.

It’s time to implement the methodologies for the energy savings with pursuit of power quality,” believes Mr Urakawa.

Latest innovations and products Considering the present market requirement in India, YASKAWA introduces the new AC drive technology called Matrix which is used for low harmonic regenerative power applications. The new Matrix technology does not need capacitor in the module which makes free of maintenance, compact and increase the module life span.

The evolution of the product U1000, which provides the way to save energy in the industries, power regenerative applications such as cranes, winders, conveyors, agitators, elevators, escalators, robots, textile weaving, presses, test bench, machine tool etc. It also describes the way of power factor improvement and reducing the low harmonics such as fan and pump, HVAC, and compressor etc.

Improves system performance A Matrix converter is AC/AC converter which consists of nine bidirectional switches that are arranged in the matrix form.

September 2014 OEM Update 52

It converts a three phase AC power supply directly into the required voltage and frequency. U1000 product is available from 2.2kw to 450kw.

“When a motor rotates, it consumes energy. When a motor is rotated, it generates energy,” points out Mr Urakawa. “One can save energy by using regenerative energy instead of wasting it. U1000 can serve to the motor power and also regenerate to electrical network when the motor is in regenerative mode.”

Typical applications of these drives include cranes, winders, conveyors, agitators, elevators, escalators, robots, textile weaving, presses, test bench, machine tool etc.

When an AC drive converts power, the input current is distorted which results in harmonics. These harmonics can interface with other electrical devices by causing overheat or damage to power supply facilities, malfunction and noise in precision devices. U1000 will maintain the current distortion less than 5 per cent and almost unity power factor (i.e. 0.98) thus reducing the power supply capacity, improving the performance of the system and thus the overall quality of the power.

Industrial Storage Systems

Industrial storage systems: must for systematic growth

Industrial storage systems play a vital role in the growth of any business and should be placed on top of the priority list

A

ny business, in order to grow in sustainable and systematic way, needs to build faith and enough confidence in industry through its offered service and products. A desired result and reliable output can be achieved by serving the customers in promising manner. And there arises the need of industrial storage systems to be able to serve with quality products.

Significance Why the storage systems are considered to be so essential? Well, there are a number of benefits that are offered by the use of storage system option, which make it significant to have in practice. Rajendra Bhole, Senior Manager â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marketing & Design, Dewas Techno Products Pvt. Ltd. explains the same: Â&#x2021; 'XUDELOLW\ Majority of the industrial storage system options that are available in stores are made from materials that are durable. These materials make it easier to stack various goods or supplies on the storage system without the risk of them breaking down. Apart from brand new storage system, used industrial storage system is also as resilient and can provide similar benefits to users. Â&#x2021; 6DIHW\ Proper storage system in industries ensures that the premise is safe September 2014 Â&#x201E; OEM Update Â&#x201E; 58

from any accidents that can be harmful.

When the storage systems on which a variety of goods are stored are assembled well and made from quality material, they minimise any mishaps that could take place from it toppling over or the storage systems being faulty. Â&#x2021; ,QFUHDVHV VSDFH Industrial storage system makes stacking of goods possible which results in the saving of a lot of space. It is therefore important to select the appropriate unit that will be able to hold as many goods as possible without breaking down. Furthermore, the stacking also saves money because the shelves purchased are only those that are needed. Â&#x2021; &RQYHQLHQFH Although industrial storage system units are meant for storage, there are times when the goods will need to be picked out at one time or another. The storage system allows for the goods to be arranged in a systematic manner making it much easier to pick out whatever is needed without disrupting other goods on the same shelf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our storage systems are designed to increase the productivity, optimise storage

space and improve the efficiency of working practices. All our solutions can be adapted to meet the specific requirements,â&#x20AC;? says Mr Bhole.

Techniques in practice Let us see what types of different techniques are used today for industrial storage systems.

Palletisation

Rajendra Bhole, Senior Manager â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marketing & Design, Dewas Techno Products Pvt. Ltd.

2XU VWRUDJH V\VWHPV DUH GHVLJQHG WR LQFUHDVH WKH SURGXFWLYLW\ RSWLPLVH VWRUDJH VSDFH DQG LPSURYH WKH HIILFLHQF\ RI ZRUNLQJ SUDFWLFHV

Industrial Storage Systems Palletisation is a method of storing and transporting goods stacked on a standard pallet, and shipped as a unit load.

“Palletisation permits standardised ways of handling loads with common mechanical material handling equipment such as forklift trucks,” says Devdip Purkayastha, President, CHEP India. “It enables collaborating across individual organisation supply chains in creating a seamless ecosystem. However, creating this robust ecosystem will require a standardised material handling environment.”

Racking system Pallet rack is a material handling storage aid system designed to store materials on pallets or skids. Although there are many varieties of pallet racking, all types allow for the storage of palletised materials in horizontal rows with multiple levels. Forklift trucks are usually an integral part of any pallet rack system as they are usually required to place the loaded pallets onto the racks for storage.

Selective pallet racking is the most common pallet racking system in use today. It typically comes in one of two configurations: a roll formed or clip-in configuration and a structural bolt-together configuration. Rollformed selective rack is most commonly manufactured in a teardrop style (so named as the holes on the column of the upright are shaped like a teardrop). Pallets then rest on the horizontal load beams that are held in place by mounting clips. As the clips on teardrop configurations can be quickly moved, the shelves can be easily adjusted to different heights to accommodate various load sizes. This is convenient for a warehouse that needs to store a variety of product sizes.

Structural pallet rack systems are very similar to roll-formed pallet rack systems except the horizontal load beams are attached to the uprights with bolts and have much greater weight-bearing capacity. The bolt fixings make this a form of adjustable shelving.

Racks can be constructed, reconfigured, and dismantled and reused as necessary.

“Selective pallet rack systems provide easy accessibility to all products at all times,” as Mr Purkayastha puts in. “A selective pallet rack system is commonly used in a big-box distribution application as well as in retail store inventory rooms, cold storage applications and wholesale stores.

It is important that racking design is as per global standards, capable of handling

standard pallets and other material handling platforms.”

Sortation systems Operations are optimised using high-speed sortation systems in distribution centres and warehouses to sort products to specific storage zones as well as route products to specific dock doors for shipping. High-speed sorters, common in distribution centres are designed to provide higher throughput, operate quieter than previous designs, and are easier to maintain. All of these lead to increased efficiencies and a better, quicker return on investment (ROI). A rapidly emerging technology in the live-roller conveyor arena is the 24V-motorised roller (MDR) conveyor. MDR retains most of the positive features of line shaft or belt-driven live rollers but adds a number of unique advantages. In conventional conveyors, a gear motor (with rotating shaft) or belts drive the operation, but with MDR conveyor, a 24V-DC motor drives the system. This allows for a high degree of flexibility and modularity in conveyor design. Pallet trucks are then used to handle unitised loads and are either mechanised or hand operated. The pallet truck is an integral part of any warehouse and standardisation of handling platforms will enable optimised usage.

Devdip Purkayastha, President, CHEP India

Palletisation permits standardised ways of handling loads with common mechanical material handling equipment such as forklift trucks.

Mr Bhole talks about the benefits offered

by Dewas solutions which include space savings, improvements in pick accuracy, improvements in picking productivity and achievement of stock accuracy levels.

“We provide various types of solutions in our field according to the product or requirement.

Our solutions increase revenue, increase storage and organise materials,” assures Mr Bhole.

Changing the picture The industry recognises the potential of these solutions in making its operations lean and mean. Many of the customers are already collaborating but at a very nascent level. The desired level of collaboration is based on the premise of standardisation and for this to happen, there are many external barriers.

Today in India, there is no standard for sizes of trucking body. Racking layouts are different not only across customers but even across a single customer’s various locations. The traditional trend to own equipment versus leasing is one such hurdle to cross. This has led to different types of material handling equipment like pallet jacks, pallet trucks and a conundrum of shipping platforms.

“CHEP is working closely with all the stakeholders to bring about the required change. High-level engagement with its customers as well as industry bodies like CII, RAI, SIAM, ACMA, and ECR to create awareness and acceptance is the way forward,” assures Mr Purkayastha. “We believe that the media will also play an important role in educating and modernising the supply chain industry.”

Further Dewas provides the solutions for below requirements: 7R H[SDQG RIILFH VSDFH 7R PDNH URRP IRU UDZ PDWHULDOV 7R consolidate off-site storage 7R LQFUHDVH WKH QXPEHU RI 6.8V RU capacity of your Warehouse 7R DGG PRUH PDFKLQHU\ Dewas offers its services to many sectors such as logistics and warehouse, pharma, auto industries and its ancillaries, engineering, textiles, PVC fittings, agro based industry and food industry, cement, power, steel, retails, packaging and printing industry, service sector, government sector, electric and electronics industries and E-commerce etc.

Conclusion In conclusion, industrial storage system is a ‘must have’ for businesses that are serious about running effectively. It can be placed in different areas of the premise to make the use of the goods much easier. Nevertheless, it is important to buy the industrial storage system from reputable retailers to ensure

they are good quality.

FIBRO’s Chakan plant: hub for precision die & mould standard parts FIBRO’s Chakan plant near Pune manufactures products for die and mould industry and rotary tables. After a visit to the factory, Parag Pujari writes about the manufacturing process involved in making these products

F

IBRO India Precision Products Pvt. Ltd. is an ISO 9001-2008 certified company and is part of the well-known FIBRO group which has around 700 employees worldwide and more than 70 representative and service stations. In Germany, it has two plants, located at Weinsberg and Hassmersheim in Baden-Württemberg. Whereas in India, FIBRO’s manufacturing unit started in Pune in 2008 and since its inception, FIBRO India is known for providing German quality at Indian price through its products to customers. It shifted to its own current location in Chakan MIDC in March 2013. In addition it has wholly owned subsidiaries in France, USA, Canada, Singapore, Korea and China.

“The FIBRO business consists mainly of two product lines, i.e. standard parts and September 2014 OEM Update 60

components for tool and die making and rotary indexing tables for automation and metal cutting applications. When it comes to standard parts for stamping dies and tools, FIBRO is the market leader in Europe,” informed Jürgen Gurt, Managing Director, FIBRO GmbH. “Last year we invested in a new facility at our Chakan plant near Pune which still has the scope for expansion.

Our experience has definitely been positive in India with highly qualified people in manufacturing, sales and marketing.”

Units of some major companies like Volkswagen, Tata, Mahindra, GE are located in Chakan, Pune. As any organisation wants to be close to their customers, FIBRO’s obvious choice was to invest in such a place that will help strengthen its establishment.

Jürgen Gurt, Managing Director, FIBRO GmbH.

When we came to setting up the plant in India, Pune was the first choice as it is considered as the hub for a large number of German companies which helped us developing our clientele

Factory Trip However, the local manufacturing involves Indian manpower, local materials and if possible Indian machines and equipment.

Almost 50 per cent parts produced in the Chakan facility goes into export.

Vivek Nanivadekar, Director, FIBRO India Precision Products

The idea behind starting FIBRO India was primarily to serve domestic customers with German technology and quality at Indian price but also to export components back to Germany

“Before setting up its first manufacturing plant outside Germany, FIBRO had conducted a market survey in China and India. But India was our obvious choice for many reasons and by the way the Indian industrial culture being one of them,” said Mr Gurt. “When we came to setting up the plant in India, Pune was the first choice as it is considered as the hub for a large number of German companies which helped us developing our clientele.”

“The idea behind starting FIBRO India was primarily to serve domestic customers with German technology and quality at Indian price but also to export components back to Germany,” pointed out Vivek Nanivadekar, Director, FIBRO India Precision Products Pvt. Ltd. “Our major market is automakers and their primary and secondary vendors.

Now, by implementing the rotary tables, our market is going to expand including automation segment as well.”

Manufacturing process Being mainly in die and mould industry, FIBRO India manufactures products like die sets, standard parts for moulds like guide pillar sets, oil less guide elements etc.

These products are mostly used in tool and die making industry. Apart from above standard parts the other critical parts such as Nitrogen Gas springs, compression springs, PU elements, cam units etc. are sourced from the parent company to meet the demand of Indian tool industry. These products go to general mechanical industries as well. For all the parts manufactured in Chakan facility, the designs and processes are defined by the parent company in Germany.

The manufacturing set up of FIBRO India includes CNC machines, precision grinding machines, induction hardening equipment and inspection equipment such as 3D CNC coordinate machine, contour measuring equipment etc. to maintain the high quality standards laid down by FIBRO GmbH. “Actually very few companies have inhouse Induction hardening facility at their manufacturing units as many of the companies outsource this particular task,” informed Mr Nanivadekar. “However, FIBRO believes that it needs to have control on critical processes so as to deliver the German quality to Indian customers. And hence we have the inhouse facility for hardening for which the specifications are given by FIBRO Germany which are followed and practised at FIBRO India locally.”

The standard parts and components are manufactured as per DIN and ISO standards as well as JIS standard.

Wear Plates production line Mainly bronze and steel metals are used for making wear plates which are provided in tool and die making applications. Then the computer programmed surface grinding machine comes into picture. It is used to improve surface finish in order to achieve uniform and absolutely flat surface.

Computer measurement The products manufactured in the factory are completely tested on a programmed machine which gives a computer generated report to see if there are any errors or faults in the product so that it could be corrected well in time. As any company can’t afford rejection of its products, high quality control is implemented by the company. For this, in process checking is done. It eliminates rejection to a great extent and helps to prevent similar faults in future.

workshops for its workers. Recently the company conducted a session on disaster management also.”

There are two different warehouses as well, one for products manufactured in Pune unit and another one for imported standard parts and components.

Impact of new government Views of the new government of India are considered to be more business friendly.

However, as Mr Gurt put in, “The most important thing is to see fast improvements regarding the infrastructure. Then other things like cost of finance and quicker approvals should also be implemented. It will not happen overnight, but India has that potential to excel.”

Future outlook “FIBRO India’s objective is to indigenise as many products from the more than 40,000 articles of the FIBRO product portfolio.

We will continue to serve Indian market in more competitive manner,” assured Mr Nanivadekar. “As a part of the expansion programme, we will invest in more machine capacity and manpower in the coming years.”

The company looks forward for a promising future and is adopting German products in such a way that they suit to Indian needs. Today it supplies its manufactured products back to its parent company also. Now the company is exploring the possibility of exporting to neighbour countries like Singapore, Dubai, China and Malaysia etc.

Safety measures “FIBRO believes in safety first. The workers working on machines undergo the necessary training before they start their actual work,” said Mr Nanivadekar.

“In addition, every quarterly the company conducts training programmes and useful

“We are aiming to achieve at least 30-40 per cent growth per year. To maintain this target, we are not only investing in machines but also in R&D and in training of our employees in new products and technologies,” said Mr Gurt.
