Ceramic coatings for refurbishing machine tool parts Machine Tool Industry has undergone major developments in providing enhanced service life to spindles, arbors, bearings, etc. Ceramic Coatings by Plasma Spray have been in use in many industries since 1960. Since last decade, this process and ceramic coatings are being used to provide surfaces to seal areas of spindles, contact faces of arbors and electrical and heat insulation to bearings. Apart from OEM level coatings, many user industries are using ceramic coating for refurbishing of spindles and other machine tool parts. Typical Spray Materials used with Plasma Spray Metals and its alloys: Steels, Ni alloys, Co alloys, Moy, bronze, copper, Babbit, etc. Ceramics: Chromium Oxide, Aluminium Oxide, Al Oxide + TiO2, ZrO2, etc. Carbides: Tungsten carbide, Cromium carbide, TiC
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Hardness range of coatings: From SOFT 60Rb (Bronze) to HARD 70 Rc (ungsten carbide) Benefits of Plasma Sprayed Ceramic over Hard Chrome Environmental: Less hazardous as there is no Hexavalent chrome involved dust disposal; easier than bath liquid. Performance: 3-4 Times more wear resistant than Hard-chrome; Micro porosity holds lubrication; Selective area coating is possible; Higher thickness up to 300 microns per side is possible. Limitations: Ceramics are brittle and are to be handled carefully. The process is not as widely avail-
able as hard-chrome. Spraymet Surface Technologies Bangalore-based Spraymet Surface Technologies Pvt. Ltd., headed by Mr. P.T. Bindagi, Technical Director and a veteran metallurgist, is engaged in thermal spray, ENP plating and weld surfacing. While their main plant is in Bangalore, the second plant is located in Pune, to stay closer to its customers especially from the automobile sector which is demanding technical excellence, proximity and service all at the same time. Spraymet has the distinction of having pioneered the carbide coatings in the steel mills and galvanizing line roll coating. Spraymet owns a few proprietary

Balluff offers compact bidirectional data memory module Balluff offers a compact, bidirectional data memory module for tight mounting spaces. The compact memory module with IP 67 protection is just 34 x 16 x 8 mm in size and can be used as a memory storage device on interchangeable units such as milling heads on gantry type machining centers. This means the assemblies can carry their actual operating data along with them. With the following advantage: When a machine is changed, all the data such as the number of use cycles, shock and vibration values or lubrication and oil change intervals are directly loaded. The work required to install and parameterize the module
is minimal. Only a single standard cable is required for stable, faultfree, bidirectional data transmission between the milling head and controller. The cable is connected to the milling head interface in the system ring. Data transmission is noise-immune as well as resistant to EMC effects. The module can hold a total of 14 segments of 64 bytes each. Machine operators will profit from the fact that when a milling head is switched from one machine to another, all the identifying and usage data will be automatically copied and loaded from the milling head memory into the NC controller through a cable. When
maintenance or repair work is needed, the service personnel can read out all the data from the memory chip on a PC or laptop and update it as needed. This gives the plant operator continual
and transparent information about the current status of the milling head. Powered by TCPDF (Web: www.tcpdf.org) For more information Web: www.balluff.co.in

SICK’s distance sensor promises great performance The new Dx1000 long range distance sensor from SICK features extreme versatility in any application and enables distance measurements with high measurement reliability, even in the presence of ambient light, rain, snow, and fog. With its infrared measurement laser, it is perfect for use on cranes, detecting vehicles in traffic applications, and measuring hot steel slabs in a steel mill. It excels at object tracking and quickly detecting the edges of objects moved in from the side. With measurement cycle times of down to one millisecond, Dx1000 is ideal for use in control loops. The innovative HDDM+ technology enables a reliable distance measurement both indoors and outdoors, allowing high system throughput. The DT1000 can manage distances over 450 m when measuring on natural objects. The DL1000 has a maximum sensing range of 1,500 m when measuring on reflector foil. Multi-echo technology can suppress undesirable reflections, allowing usage
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
in a wider range of applications. Comprehensive options for adjustments enable perfect adaptation to the individual measuring task. The Dx1000 can be commissioned quickly and safely using a graphical touch display, the convenient SOPAS ET user interface, and a red alignment laser. The Dx1000 can be used in a wide array of areas. It can thus be used for collision avoidance on rail-mounted shipto-shore cranes and gantry cranes in ports or to measure container stacks. It also monitors the pin assignment of truck parking lanes and positions rail-mounted vehicles and industrial cranes. The Dx1000 can also easily manage the detection of hot steel slabs. The hot steel slabs are cut to the desired length using oxygen burners during the continuous rolling process. During this process, the sensor detects the position and length of the steel slabs on the roller. For more information Web: www.sick.com

NI announces high-speed oscilloscope NI has announced the PXIe-5164 oscilloscope. The PXIe-5164 is built on the open, modular PXI architecture, and includes a user-programmable FPGA to help aerospace/defense, semiconductor and research/physics applications that require high-voltage measurements and high levels of amplitude accuracy. “PXI oscilloscopes from NI reduce test time, increase channel density, and now, deliver even better measurement flexibility with the combination of high bandwidth, resolution and input voltage,” said Steve Warntjes, vice president of R&D at NI. “Our new PXIe-5164 oscilloscope can make some measurements that box instruments today just can’t handle. If you want to measure a high-voltage signal of up to 100 Vpp at up to 1 GS/s, you can now use the same instrument to see small signal details
that would normally be hidden by the noise of the instrument thanks to the 14-bit ADC.” PXI oscilloscopes deliver the ease of use expected from a box oscilloscope. Engineers can use the interactive soft front panels in NISCOPE software to make basic measurements, debug automated applications or view the scope data while the test program runs. The driver includes help files, documentation and ready-to-run example programs to assist in test code development, and includes a programming interface that works with a variety of development environments such as C, Microsoft .NET and LabVIEW system design software. Engineers can also use PXI oscilloscopes with TestStand test management software, which simplifies the creation and deployment of test systems in the lab or on the production floor.
PXI oscilloscopes are an important part of the NI platform and ecosystem that engineers can use to build smarter test systems. These test systems benefit from more than 600 PXI products ranging from DC to mmWave and feature high-throughput data movement using PCI Express bus interfaces and sub-nanosecond synchronization with integrated timing and triggering. Supported by a vibrant ecosystem of partners, add-on IP and applications engineers, the NI platform helps to dramatically lower the cost of test, reduce time to market and future-proof testers for tomorrow’s challenging requirements.

ProfitTurning releases latest version of ESPRIT CAM software ProfitTurning releases in the latest version of the ESPRIT CAM software, represents years of ground-breaking research. A lathe roughing strategy that significantly reduces machine cycle time, ProfitTurning has hurdled a grueling series of tests, delivering a performance that promises to take machinists, engineers and industrialists to greater levels of precision, quality control and productivity. ProfitTurning™ is a high-speed lathe roughing strategy developed by DP Technology Corp. for OD/ ID/face cutting and other tasks. Fast, secure and efficient, it also extends tool life by significantly minimizing wear. Compared to conventional ramping methods, ProfitTurning™ reduces machine cycle time as well as the frequency tooling inserts need to be replaced. DP Technology’s R&D Director
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
of Product and Engineering Ivan Kristic reveals the science behind ProfitTurning™’s performance: “ESPRIT 2016’s ProfitTurning™ toolpath maintains consistent cutting forces and chip loads, allowing cutting speeds to be significantly increased. By employing trochoidal turning and controlled engagement techniques, the ProfitTurning™
toolpath also reduces vibration and residual stresses, which in turn makes it particularly well-suited to thin walls or hard materials, especially super alloys. The net result is significantly reduced cycle times and maximized productivity.” ESPRIT 2016 uses a physics-based cutting engine which provides the foundation for the technologies
such as ProfitTurning™. While traditional cutting strategies consider only the geometry of materials, ESPRIT 2016 taps deeper into the science of how different industrial materials can be cut in the most efficient ways possible. Its new toolpath technology uses the principles of physics to formulate unique strategies for each cutting challenge. To do that, ESPRIT 2016 inputs all relevant factors in the toolpath algorithm such as tool material, tool shape, workpiece material, tool speed, feed rate, chip deforming, chip load, machine tool power, acceleration and deceleration. This helps establish complete control of the cutting environment, allowing for optimal cutting everywhere along the toolpath.

Artesyn launches 700 Watt half brick dc-dc converter module Artesyn Embedded Technologies today launched a new 700 watt half brick dc-dc converter module, the ADH700 series. The first model available offers a 28 V nominal output and is designed to support the popular use of LDMOS technology used in high power wireless base station (BTS) deployments. LDMOS stands for laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor and is a dominant device technology used in high-power RF power amplifier (PA) applications for cellular infrastructure. The ADH700 series nominal 28 V model can deliver up to 28.A output current and offers a wide trim range of 14 V to 33 V.
Housed in the industry standard half-brick format (2.4 x 2.3 inches or 61.0 x 57.9 mm) the ADH700 series is just 0.5 inch or 12.7 mm high. The dc-dc converter series offers greater than 95 percent typical efficiency and a wide input range of 36 to 65 V. An aluminum baseplate structure gives ADH700 series modules excellent thermal performance. The 28 V model can operate between minus 40 and plus 85 degrees Celsius ambient temperature, and can continue to operate at full power up to 100 degrees Celsius baseplate temperature – all without air cooling. The conversion technology employs 280 kHz fixed-frequency switching
to help minimize external EMI filtering requirements. Other features include remote enable, remote output sense and trim with protection features such as input under voltage lockout, output over current protection, output over voltage protection, and over temperature protection. No
minimum load requirement helps to increase reliability and contributes to an MTBF of 2 million hours (calculated according to Telcordia SR-332-2006).

Fronius adds CMT functionality to the TPS/i power source With the new TPS/i CMT welding system, technology leader Fronius is combining the smart functions of its latest power source platform with the advantages of the most stable welding process. The Cold Metal Transfer welding process produces outstanding results with diverse materials while the innovative TPS/i MIG/ MAG power source impresses with its extensive range of settings and applications. Users benefit from significantly improved efficiency and quality with the new system. The centrepiece of the TPS/i CMT is the new and improved PullMig welding torch. Not only is it lighter, more robust and more durable than its predecessor, but above all it is cooler. As well as wearing significantly more slowly, the welding torch also impresses with its more stable arc. Fronius has also optimised the wirefeed through the addition of a dynamic and precise servomotor. This allows the push-pull welding torch to work in perfect harmony with the TPS/i’s rapid arc control. Ease of use has not been
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
overlooked either: the handle of the welding torch no longer needs to be opened in order to thread a new wire. The CMT welding process significantly reduces the heat input in comparison to other
MIG/MAG processes. This results in spatter-free material transfer yielding optimal welding results. The process offers particular advantages when joining different materials, for example steel and aluminium, as well as sheets of a lighter gauge. Its combination with the intelligent TPS/i power source opens up an even greater range of application areas. Numerous settings options allow the heat input during welding to be precisely regulated, while the gapbridging ability and penetration profile can be optimised. The combination of different settings parameters results in a wide range of applications for the universal and mix characteristics saved in the power source, which mean that user-defined characteristics are usually no longer necessary. This also makes it considerably easier for the user to select the appropriate welding program.

Raigarh-Pugalur is ABB’s sixth HVDC project in India and the second UHVDC installation, following the multi-terminal North-East Agra link, which has been already partially energized and is in the final phase of completion. The turnkey project encompasses design, engineering, supply, installation and commissioning and major equipment supplies include the complete UHVDC stations, including transformers, converter valves, cooling systems, as well as control and protection technology. UHVDC transmission is a development of HVDC, a technology pioneered by ABB more than 60 years ago. ABB has been awarded about 110 HVDC projects, which represents a total installed capacity of more than 120,000 MW and accounts for around half the global installed base. HVDC transmission links help to conserve land as they occupy only one third of the space compared to the alternative. In this case that amounts to a saving of approximately 244 square kilometers of space – around one third the area of Bangalore or the entire city of Kuala Lumpur. The mega project will also feature technologies selected to minimize the footprint of the transmission stations. The total project value is worth more than INR 5700 crore and the balance will be executed by ABB’s consortium partner BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited), a leading Indian public sector company. The order was booked in the fourth quarter of 2016. This mega project is expected to be completed in 2019. ABB is a pioneering technology leader in electrification products, robotics and motion, industrial automation and power grids, serving customers in utilities, industry and transport & infrastructure globally. Continuing more than a 125-year history of innovation, ABB today is writing the future of industrial digitalization and driving the Energy and Fourth Industrial Revolutions. ABB operates in more than 100 countries with about 135,000 employees. For more information, Website: www.abb.com

Mercom forecasts over 9 GW of solar installations in India for 2017 Mercom Capital Group, a global clean energy communications and research firm, recently released its quarterly update on the Indian solar market. Solar installations in India are expected to reach over 4 GW in 2016, compared to 2.3 GW installed in 2015. Mercom reiterates its 2017 solar installation forecast of over 9 GW. Cumulative installations including largescale and rooftop projects in the country have reached 9.6 GW. Of the 4 GW to be installed in 2016, 3.7 GW are expected to be utility-scale projects and about 275 MW are expected to be rooftop projects. The country’s solar development pipeline is now more than 14.2 GW with about 6.3 GW of projects tendered and pending auction. “We are forecasting installations to reach over 9 GW in 2017 which would put the Indian solar sector in the big leagues along with China, the United States, and Japan. However, there are significant headwinds in terms of
transmission and evacuation issues that could threaten the pace of growth,” said Raj Prabhu, CEO and co-founder of Mercom Capital Group. Indian government agencies have announced solar tenders of ~3,781 MW during Sep-Dec 2016 and auctioned about 1,311 MW. Auction activity has slowed over the last three months. The project development landscape has changed significantly over the last quarter largely due to Chinese module price declines. The average selling prices (ASPs) of Chinese modules in India have declined approximate-
ly 10 percent since August and by about 30 percent over the last 12 months. This decline in prices has provided a much-needed boost to developers that won projects at low bids and were struggling to make project economics work. The major concerns for the industry are currently around transmission, evacuation, curtailment, timely payments and the outcome of the goods and services tax (GST). “Solar park development is experiencing some setbacks due to incomplete infrastructure,” commented Prabhu.

VL Series from EMAG live at IMTEX 2017
SNIPPETS

India is expected to become the third largest aviation market by 2020 and is expected to be the largest by 2030.
US$ 22.7
The Indian construction equipment industry’s revenues are estimated to reach US$ 22.7 billion by 2020.
Vertical production machines are EMAG’s territory. It all began with the VSC series, which laid the foundation for the successful machine concept of the vertical pick-up turning center. This machine concept runs through nearly the entire product range of the manufacturer, and it takes on its latest form in the VL series. EMAG will be presenting the modular standard machines this year at IMTEX in hall 2b, booth A108. VL machines are part of EMAG’s modular standard series. As the term suggests, these machines are built on a common machine base but allow the use of an extremely wide range of technologies, similar to the modular platform systems seen in the automotive industry. There are now modular machines available for turning, gear hobbing, and chamfering
processes; for grinding (chucked parts and shaft parts); for induction hardening; and also in special designs for laser welding or PECM technology. Essentially, they are available for virtually all the technologies offered by the EMAG Group. The machine base of these modular machines is made out of Mineralit® polymer concrete. This material has exceptional vibration damping properties, which is the basis for the machines’ excellent process quality. The working spindle is the heart of the pickup automation system which is an essential part of every modular machine. It includes a parts storage unit in every machine, from which the pick-up spindle loads and unloads itself independently. This lowers nonproductive time to an absolute minimum as there are only a few
seconds between the machining processes. The vertical pick-up turning centers of the VL series were developed particularly for the production of precise chucked parts. There are now five versions of the VL machine to cover the widest possible range of parts. The smallest machine is the VL 2, designed for chucked parts with a diameter of up to 100 mm. It is followed by the VL 4, VL 6, and VL 8 machines which allow for an increase of 100 mm in diameter with each model increase.

DVS Technology to exhibit at IMTEX17 DVS Tooling will be exhibiting at the IMTEX in Bangalore from 26th January to 2nd of February. One highlight at the booth in Hall 4 Stall C117 will be the new machine concept DVS UGrind – an innovative workshop machine for the efficient and flexible hard finishing of small batches. Thanks to the multifunctional tool revolver for grinding, turning and measuring operations as well as the intuitive operating software with integrated processing and measuring cycles as well as automatic calculation of the most efficient process strategy, machining time for the manufacturing of shafts and chucking components can be reduced by up to 50%. Depending on the configuration required by the user, the DVS UGrind carries out external and internal, face and cone surface grinding as well as hard turning operations highly productively with minimum travel. The integrated measuring probe controls and monitors machining until the required final dimension has been achieved, which means time-consuming processes such as successive feeding and re-measuring are no longer
required. Optimised lever arm ratios and the thermo-symmetrical structure of the DVS UGrind guarantee a high degree of dynamic and thermal machine stability and thus ensure constant reproducibility of the required manufacturing qualities. PRÄWEMA Antriebstechnik GmbH from Eschwege in northern Hesse, global market and technology leader in the gearing honing segment, will be presenting its latest innovation in the top technology field for optimising gearing surfaces - the so-called “Vario Cross Honing” technology. By using a specially de-
veloped oscillation method during the honing process, “Vario Cross Honing” enables surface roughness to be reduced even further, resulting in another increase in the surface quality of geared components. This innovation, yet another benchmark in gearing machining from PRÄWEMA, allows gearing manufacturers to produce wear- and noise-reduced vehicle gearboxes with higher torque transmission. PITTLER T&S GmbH, based in Dietzenbach in southern Hesse, will be presenting the PV315, which is the very latest addition to the PV³ family of machines for Power Skiving as well as complete machining and has been specially adapted to the requirements of commercial vehicle components such as gearbox components like ring gears.

CARB-I-TOOL sees increase in demand for tools for machining CARB-I-TOOL is a premier Australian cutting tool that has been operating for over 40 years. Specialising in the production of engineering and woodworking tools for the Australian, Asian and European markets; their headquarters consists of a large factory, showroom and storage facility. Over the last few years, CARBI-TOOL has seen an increase in demand for tools for the machining of plastic and composite materials. To keep pace with this demand, they recently invested in an ANCA MX7 Linear to focus on producing their range of compression routers
(single and multi-flute) and other solid carbide tooling for materials such as MDF, plastic, carbon fibre, aluminum composite material and special tooling for exotic materials. These are used in a wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, marine and general engineering. The investment of the MX7 Linear complemented their existing MX7 machine and enabled CARB-I-TOOL to offer a first-hand comparison between both types of machines and drive systems. The MX7 Linear is driven by linear motors on the X- and Y-axis while
the MX7 is driven by ballscrews. It is evident when viewing the tools ground on the MX7 Linear, the surface finish on all surfaces of the tool is to a very high quality. The finish on the flute is highly polished. Ross Storay, CARB-I-TOOL production manager said, “When grinding tools on the MX7 Linear we achieve a mirror finish on the flute without a spark out pass or using a fine grit wheel.” As well as being pleasing to the eye, it is recognised that highly polished flutes and gash surfaces improve chip evacuation and aid tool performance during machin-
ing. Polished flutes have a smoother surface and the swarf (or chips) can exit more freely from the flute. CARB-I-TOOL sales manager Mark Hamilton commented, “I have received feedback from our customers advising me that tool life is increased and performance is better from tools ground on the MX7 Linear.” Mark adds, “This can only increase customer loyalty, as our customers know that when they buy a tool from us they can be confident the tool will perform to a high standard.”

Q. Could you say something about the evolution of ELGi to make it a global player? We are No.8 in the world today. And we aspire to be No.2. To get there, we need capacity, technology, manufacturing quality, product range and everything. Compressor business is a matured business. Competitors too are well entrenched. So we have to be extremely strong and make a strategic move to achieve this goal.
Q. What’s your brand equity? Brand building is not easy. It is not advertising or creating awareness. A brand name can create and stand for loyalty, trust, faith, being premium or mass-market appeal. It is an experience with a product or service at multiple levels – rather a positive experience. We have a strong brand. Else we cannot aspire to take a larger share of the global market.
Q. How do you differentiate ELGi from other compressor manufacturers? What’s your niche? Compressor is a standard product. Take for instance cars. Whether it is Toyota or Honda, the fundamentals are the same. The difference is in quality, support to the customer and presence in all markets. Coming back to compressors, buying a compressor is not expensive, but owning is. Seventy five percent (75%) of the cost of owning comes from the energy consumption. If we have to make a difference, our products should be the best in energy efficiency to give value for money to the customer. MNCs can fail. Customers can forgive them. But we cannot fail. We have to give a quality product which is cost-effective and energy efficient, and support it with service. Interesting technologies will make a difference in the future.
Q. What would you consider as a pathbreaking technological development in the compressor field? Compressor business is a matured business. There can’t be any path-breaking development in terms of technology. You are hearing of the so called Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrie 4.0 revolution meaning connecting embedded systems and smart production enabling a digital convergence between industry, business and internal functions and processes. This is what will impact the compressor industry as well. The basic product is the same. One has to experience technology woven around the product.
Q. You have an impressive range. What are the product innovations you have showcased recently? In the last 2-3 years, we have come up with a whole array of innovative products including complete range of oil-free compressors, screw compressors, reciprocating compressors, and even centrifugals.
Q. What makes your customers to come to you again and again? How do you delight them? Compressor’s appearance won’t delight the customer. A compressor will make noise. The customer is not bothered about it. What he expects is a quality product which is built to be rugged and energy efficient. Every machine can give problem at some point or the other. But then it should be attended promptly and empathetically. If we give a quality product with a responsive service, the customer is happy.
Q. Could you throw some light on your infrastructural facilities and manufacturing excellence? We have built an infrastructure which is worldclass and futuristic. While building it we had set our eyes on the global market. Our manufacturing is backed by sales & marketing and befitting branding. Manufacturing excellence is nothing but making the process stronger and dominant so that you can take out defect-free products. We have a stringent quality regimen in place and have one of the lowest defect rates – less than 0.3% Q. Contamination of compressed air and energy guzzling are two problems the endusers are avers to. How do you pre-empt these? Our products are engineered and built to be highly energy efficient. Delivering products to give continuous uptime, ensuring energy efficiency is a part of our strategy. We are quite conscious of the contamination aspect of compressed air delivered. Contamination takes place when there is an oil carryover. We have the lowest oil carryover in our compressors less than half of the competitor. Our products are eco-friendly and we are and want to be gentle on the environment. Q. What is your R & D busy with at the moment? Any new developments in the anvil? At the root of all our innovations is our R & D which works for the whole world. We have a full-fledged R & D Dept. with some 160 engineers constantly working on improving our product quality and its reliability. Every day we improve and change small things which make a

difference in the performance of our machines. Q. What are your major strengths? Could you say something about your human resources and talent management? Contemporary technology, sprawling manufacturing facilities, proven quality products, wide product range and a dedicated human resource are some of our major strengths. Retaining talent is indeed a big task. All companies are facing high attrition rates. However, our attrition rate is half of the industry average. Salary is not everything. Talented people want freedom and a challenging and creative environment. I believe we are able to give them such an environment. Q. What are your growth strategies? And how do you propose to enhance your presence and reach? It will interest you to know that India is only 5% of the world market for compressors; 95% is outside. And 50% of this 95% comes from 18 countries. Fifty (50%) of our turnover comes from outside India. Today we are present in 70 countries including all large markets. India is a large market of course. Our growth strategy is to focus on special verticals and to strengthen those verticals. Q. What are the positive developments which would give a new fillip to the compressor industry? We have to have more and more energy efficient machines.
Q. What’s your vision for ELGi and where will you be 5 years hence? As I said earlier, we want to be No.2 in the world in the nearest future. We are working towards that goal. Five years hence we would have grown considerably and increased our footprints outside India. Q. What’s your manpower strength today? We have a dedicated workforce of 1500 people. Of this, about 350 are outside India. People are our greatest asset. It is not uncommon that most of the employees join ELGi, have their career progression and retire from here. We have multiple training programs for talent management, including
Employee Engagement & Recognition Mr. Anvar Jay Varadaraj, Manager-Special Projects, who looks after Branding & Promotion at ELGi has this to say on Employee Engagement & Recognition: Today employees are differently motivated. They are given opportunities to travel, go places and get international exposure. We develop leadership qualities in them. Identify those with leadership potential and groom them, instill confidence in them and give them challenges and make them cognizant and relevant to industry. Personal branding or ‘image management’ is another aspect employees are exposed to. AV media are used to communicate and inculcate values. Young and upcoming leaders are introduced to the nuances of decision-making with positivity
ELGi designed rotor milling machine to ensure superlative quality of airends
within the ambit of ELGi’s beliefs & values, work ethos and corporate culture. Hierarchy doesn’t stop a junior from questioning a superior when it comes to work, methodology and results. Ability to challenge is also encouraged. Recognition more gratifying: ELGi has performance related remuneration packages for employees. Talents are identified and benchmarked. Blue collared employees too are given a challenging work atmosphere. Their performance is evaluated and rewarded based on their contribution towards productivity, quality improvement, energy saving or cost saving. ELGi is a company with human face. It values people, their talent and contribution.

We set up a school in a remote village named Lakshminaickenpalayam near Coimbatore as far back as in 1944. It is managed by us even today. Children from the nearby areas are benefited from this school. Q. Which is the most memorable day in your professional life? Why one? There are several historic days
ELGi’s own foundry making custom-designed castings setting new benchmarks for quality in terms of thermal distortion & deflection
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
etched in my memory: The day we lunched our first air end design, oil-free compressor and centrifugal compressor; the day we signed our first wage agreement formula, and the day we kick-started our Golden Jubilee Celebrations are some of them. Q. Any dreams unfulfilled? One has to dream continuously. Dreams stop only when the brain stops functioning. All dreams need not fructify. As I mentioned earlier, I have a dream to take ELGi to the No.2 position globally! Q. What have you to say on the prevailing business climate? The IT industry has in a way spoiled the fabric of the nation. Job hopping for a few bucks has become the order of the day. Earning is OK, but then they should not build competition in the job market. The business climate keeps changing. There are ups and downs in business. The market also changes. But you cannot keep on changing. There should be stability at some point of time or the other. I am optimistic; all industries all over will grow.

Plasma & Automated
SHEET METAL CUTTING What is Plasma & Plasma Cutting? Plasma is a thermal, very hot, electrically conducting gas, from positive and negative ions, electrons and excited and neutral atoms and molecules. In physics, we often talk about the 4th state. As the plasma gas a monatomic argon or diatomic hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen gases and air can be used. The plasma gas is ionized and dissociated by the energy of the plasma arc. By a recombina-
tion of atoms and molecules outside the plasma jet of the system, plasma rapidly releases the received energy and enhances the effect of thermal plasma beam on the machined object. For the cutting process, a pilot arc between
the cathode and the nozzle is first ignited by means of high voltage. This weaker energy pilot arc prepares partially, by ionizing, the path between the plasma torch and the machined object. By touching of the pilot arc and the machined object (cursory incision and cursory piercing) the power of the main arc is automatically increased. All kinds of steels, brass, aluminium, copper, stainless steel and other metal alloys can be cut.
Road to Plasma-Cutting Automation Fabricators note several reasons for considering the move from manual plasma-arc cutting (PAC) to automated cutting. A basic reason to

70 TECH TRENDS automate is simple: manufacturers need quality cut parts at a reasonable price and at high rates of productivity.
Purchasing the Right System Facilitating the transition to automation requires a number of decisions. First, purchasing the right type of automated PAC setup needs a complete understanding of how the part requirements would apply to automation—in terms of money. High-precision dual-gas cutting systems cost many Lakhs of Rupees, often accompanied by an equally expensive controller. While these setups provide very high cutting speeds, it is difficult, if not impossible, for a small fabricator to justify such an investment.
Automated plasma table: For cutting the same shape multiple times, using an automated plasma table saves hours of post-cut grinding, which enables Cornfield Customs to maintain price competitiveness. The move to an automated system increases productivity, and the machine produces good, clean cuts. Further, a dramatic reduction takes place in the amount of cut-edge finishing.
Quick Switch from Automated to Manual While most users largely dedicate their PAC system to automated cutting on its table, arrangement can be made to quickly switch to manual cutting, by a quick-disconnect torch feature. This allows the user to efficiently switch from the setup’s 180-deg. mechanized cutting torch to a 70- or 90-deg. manual torch. Software automatically detects the selected torch to switch between automatic and manual modes.
Technical Tips for Better Plasma Cutting Over the years, the air plasma arc process has been greatly refined so that plasma provides good quality cutting, gouging and piercing at very high speeds for a much lower cost. This cutting process is truly perfect for many industries. Plasma arc cutting is a process where an open arc can be constricted by passing through a small nozzle, or orifice, from the electrode to the workpiece. Although the technology behind the plasma arc may seem complicated, the pro cess itself is very easy to learn and perform.

Plasma - A Cut Above Oxyfuel
Some Details of Plasma Torches
While oxy-fuel was the most common method of cutting carbon steel in the past, plasma cutting is gaining favour because it provides numerous advantages. Plasma cuts faster than oxy-fuel; a pre-heat cycle is not required; the kerf width (the width of the cut) produced is small; and, it has a smaller heat-affected zone, which prevents the surrounding area from warping or damaging paint. In addition, plasma cutting can be used on any type of electricity-conducting metal (the oxy-fuel process cannot cut stainless steel or aluminium). Moreover, plasma cutting is a cleaner, less expensive and more convenient method of metal cutting because clean, dry air is used for most plasma cutting applications. A properly installed air plasma arc cutting setup is safer than oxy-fuel gas cutting. This is because there is a chance of flashbacks and the danger of flammable gases in exposed hoses with oxy-fuel torches. Plasma cutting is easier for hole piercing due to the plasma jet. The plasma jet is the swirling force of air around the arc, in combination with the arc attachment, which focuses the heat into the metal. In addition, plasma arc piercing does not require the metal to be preheated, which saves production time. The plasma jet also makes for a better choice when cutting stacked materials.
There are three variables that determine torch performance. They are cut height, cut speed and voltage. These three variables are not independent, if the speed or height change, the voltage will change. In fact, if any of these three variables changes, the others will also change. This relationship is what allows the Torch Height Control to work. As the part is cut, the metal may warp and rise up off the table as it gets hot. When the metal warps up, it gets closer to the torch. This will result in a decrease in voltage. See the image below. When the system senses this decrease in voltage, it can raise the torch up to compensate for the warping metal.
Plasma Cutting Applications
Summarizing about Precision Plasma Why Plasma? –
The plasma process can be used to cut any material that is a good electrical conductor. Unlike chemical cutting, it can be used on any metal for applications such as stack cutting, bevelling, shape cutting, gouging and piercing. Plasma cutting can be successfully performed on a variety of material sizes as well. Plasma can be used to cut anything from thin gauge aluminium to stainless and carbon steel up to several inches, depending upon the power of the cutting machine.
Automatic Torch Height Control When a cut is started, the torch is held at the cut height. (left) If the metal heats up and warps up, the distances from the torch tip to the metal decreases. (Right) This will result in a decrease in volt- age. When the system senses this decrease in voltage, it will lift the torch up to compensate for the difference in voltage.

Application of
LINEAR ENCODERS on Machine Tools By Abhilash Tripathi Associate Director (Sales & Service) Heidenhain Optics & Electronics India Pvt. Ltd.
T
he requirements facing industrial production of mechanical parts are steadily growing. Rising cost pressure is driving a trend toward dynamic machine tools that produce parts economically with very high accuracy even in small batches. The use of linear encoders to ascertain the slide position—also called “closed-loop control”—permits accuracy from the first to the last part. The effects of the feed mechanism, such as a difference weight of workpiece or the expansion of the recirculating ball screw, have no influence on the machining result and therefore on the accuracy of the machine. If the machine operates in a so-called “semiclosed loop,” the table position is meas-
Figure 1: Thermal behavior of a recirculating ball screw
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Figure 2: Effect of drive accuracy on series production ured through the pitch of the recirculating ball screw and the angular position of the motor encoder. Changes in the feed mechanism, such as thermal expansion, cannot be detected in the closed loop. At higher traversing speeds, however, the ball screw becomes significantly warmer. Figure 1 illustrates such heating with a thermal camera. The inhomogeneous temperature distribution with temperature peaks of up to 50.5°C is clearly visible. Positioning error up to 200 µm within a short time is unavoidable and cannot be compensated because of the unknown distribution curve. The test setup shown in Fig. 2 illustrates the effects on the accuracy in the production of 300 parts. One workpiece with three holes, 2 mm deep, and the corresponding outside contour was machined. After 30 more workpieces were
“machined” without tool contact, machining was repeated with 2 mm further infeed in the Z direction. This machining sequence was repeated to simulate the production of 300 individual parts. The workpieces show a considerable difference in the machining result of semiclosed loop control in comparison with that of a closed loop control. The deviations from the desired position are up to 200 µm. In contrast, the workpieces from machines with linear encoders provide the correct contour to within a few micrometers. (Fig. 3) The use of linear encoders therefore permits accuracy from the very first part without protracted run-in cycles. Of course, this also applies for mold making. If, for example, two mold halves are machined, then form deviations due to machine error
76 TECH TRENDS
Figure 3: Deviation between hole patterns in series production normally require extensive rework. This basic consideration applies both for linear and rotary axes. Here, too, positions can be measured with a speed-reduction mechanism connected to a rotary encoder on the motor, or with a highly accurate angle encoder on the machine axis, whereby angle encoders achieve significantly higher accuracy grades and reproducibility.
Linear encoders in various mechanical designs Machine tools are usually equipped with sealed linear encoders, which are available in two designs. The 100 series (with large cross section) is available up to a measuring length of 4240 mm. By fastening it every 200 mm with the machine base, a very high reliability is achieved against vibration conducted from outside. The 400 series (with small cross section) permits measuring lengths up to 2040 mm and is used primarily where installation space is limited.The fundamental design of the encoders is identical for both series. A light source transmits light through the glass scale. The high-accuracy DIADUR graduation on the glass produces a precise pattern on

the detector (photoelements), which is converted by the integrated electronics into electrical signals. With linear encoders for machine tools, the detectors function exclusively according to what is known as the single-field principle. These detectors, opto-ASICs developed by HEIDENHAIN, are optimized for application in machine tools. They are characterized by high tolerance to contamination and EMC interference. This modern sensor technology is the basic prerequisite for very high reliability together with consistent signal stability. The housing protects the optics from heavy contamination and allows itself to be fastened to the machine base. The elastic sealing lips close the slot required for movement almost completely. In many cases, these measures do not suffice to ensure reliable operation. Under extreme exposure to liquid or condensation, the use of clean compressed air has proven to ensure reliability for many years of operation. A coupling between scanning carriage and mounting base permit the +/- 0.3 mm mounting tolerance to the machine components without impairing the accuracy of the encoder. In the machine tool sector, too, the share of linear axes with direct drive is steadily increasing. This has been driving the continuously increasing demands on measuring technology with regard to signal quality and neutrality in the control loop. Besides small signal periods, a low position error within the period is also required in order to attain the required bandwidth in the closed loop. The absolute LC linear encoders with single-field scanning attain a max. error within the signal period of +/- 20 nm and therefore place no limit for the control bandwidth. Absolute measuring technology significantly facilitates finding the commutation angle after the machine tool is switched on, and allows simple implementation of feed axes with direct drive.
Mounting the encoders If the use of linear encoders is considered early
Figure 5 : Principle of design in the design phase, fast and reliable mounting in only a few minutes is possible. For example, it allows the required alignment of the encoder to the machine guideway through milled stop edges. Of course, pins can also be used to align the encoders. For the absolute linear encoders of the 400 series there are accessory â&#x20AC;&#x153;pins with clamping elementsâ&#x20AC;? that ensure a reliable connection of the scale with the machine base. They are recommended for measuring lengths of 640 mm and more. At 1240 mm measuring length or longer, the clamping elements or a mounting spar must be used in order to ensure the required stability of the encoder perpendicular to the measuring direction.The clamping elements have two advantages over the use of mounting spars. First, they can reduce cost, and second, they do not change the basic mounting conditions. It is therefore easy to implement a modular design with variable measuring length.
Figure 6: Installation via clamping elements for the 400 series
Summary A decisive factor for the productivity of a machine tool, besides accuracy (can I use this equipment to manufacture this part in a reliable process), is the availability of the equipment. High productivity with consistently high part quality is most easily achieved with linear or angle encoders. Today, their application is considered standard, not only on universal machines, but also on production machines. They are supported with numerous aids, beginning with 3-D models for simpler machine design, to special mounting accessories, fast and reliable mounting, and electrical testing equipment for initial servicing.

WIRE ROPE lubrication By Shatul Shah, Director, Centraline Lubrotech Engineers Pvt. Ltd. The reason for frequent replacing of wire rope is lack of maintenance due to which they get damaged or corroded.

ire ropes are extensively used in many industries like Mining, Shipping, Construction, Iron and Steel, Material Handling, etc. In many of these equipment, the cost of the wire rope forms a considerable proportion of the total cost of the equipment. Although the wire ropes cost as much as any other capital equipment like machines, etc., it has been found that the life of the wire rope is not even a quarter of the life of others. The wire ropes are replaced frequently as if they form a part of consumable stores. Very few engineers consider the wire rope also as a capital equipment and that with proper care and maintenance their life can be extended considerably to be on par with any other capital equipment.
Maintenance a must The reason for frequent replacing of wire rope is lack of maintenance due to which they get damaged or corroded. If the wire ropes are

regularly cleaned and lubricated their life can be increased very significantly. Wire ropes and cables used for hoisting and cableways consist of wire strands twisted around a fiber core. The purpose of the latter is to increase flexibility and to provide a reservoir for lubricant applied during the manufacturing process. When cables bend in a passing over sheaves or pulleys, there is friction between various strands of wire. Unless a lubricant is present, wear will be rapid. There are two distinct phases of lubrication, one of which is application of lubricant during the manufacturing process and the other lubrication in actual service. The purpose of applying lubricant during manufacturing is to protect the core against drying out and deteriorating and to provide lubrication to the internal wire strands when rope is in service. It is now quite generally conceded that the core does not retain the lubricant applied during manufacture
throughout its service life, nor does it take up from subsequent applications in service any appreciable amount of lubricant. Once the supply of lubricant originally present in the core is depleted, it is necessary to depend entirely on external application if wear of strands is to be minimized. Hence, application of suitable lubricant during the operation of the rope becomes absolutely essential to ensure a long life and efficient performances from the wire ropes. External application of lubricant is generally called dressing of the wire ropes. This dressing operation of the wire rope is certainly of benefit even if considered only from the aspect of external and internal corrosion of wires of the rope. The steel wire of the wire rope gets corroded when exposed to outdoor working. Application of lubricant externally gives these wires protection against corrosion. All manufacturers of wire ropes recommend application of service lubricant as dressing for

all categories of hazards in the duties of wire ropes such as corrosion, deterioration, abrasive deterioration, fatigue friction and even for standing ropes used as guy wires.
Equipment for lubrication One of the main reasons for absence of proper maintenance of the wire ropes is the lack of suitable equipment required to force the lubricant under pressure between the strands of the wire rope. Mere application of lubricant like grease or oil by hand is not very effective because of high resistance to penetration inside the wire rope. Availability of lubricating equipment like CENTRALINE-VIPER, makes the job of lubricating wire ropes very easy and very effective. It is very easy because the CENTRALINEVIPER unit can be clamped on every wire rope in any position and while the rope is being lubricated by the CENTRALINE-VIPER machine or the equipment can be working normally. Hence except for the short time

taken to fit CENTRALINE-VIPER unit on a wire rope, there is no downtime of the equipment for lubrication. It is very efficient because the lubricant is injected under pneumatic pressure and this helps in the penetration of the lubricant inside the ropes. By the use of efficient seals with matched scraper plates there is no wasteful carry-over of excess lubricant on the rope.

TBD HS: Programmable System for non-contact high speed tool breakage detection I ndustrial realities, where productivity represents the priority to achieve, aim to implement tool measurement solutions, which prove to be quick, accurate and reliable. Aware of such need and willing to develop an application that could avoid affecting production efficiency, Marposs presented TBD, the Tool Breakage Detector, a time-saving laser-based solution for broken tool detection on machine. TBD on milling machines and machining centres permits to keep under control the process, thanks to a very short tool checking cycle. Fast and reliable detection achievable by the TBD allows to reduce production time and to avoid expensive work-pieces scrap due to wrong cutting process by damaged or broken tools. All functionality is contained within the TBD unit compact housing, which can be mounted outside the machine area, saving space on the table. It is possible to choose among different working modes, which endow TBD with a great flexibility. Switching the power to the maximum gives TBD the chance to recognize a tool placed at a longer distance (up to 2 meters), with a
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
standard capability to check the breakage. If a smaller tolerance is required, the reduced power can be set obtaining a smaller beam. Furthermore, an user can choose the filtering level of the signal. In fact, during the checking cycle, some coolant drops could interrupt the beam or coolant stuck on the tool could create variation in the signal received. Setting “Hi Filter” makes the software of the TBD more restrictive in order to give the more reliable response. On the other hand, choosing “Low Filter” TBD responds in a faster way, as the filter is less severe. Lastly, it is possible to choose the appropriate range of spindle speed, up to 5000 rpm.
The new TBD HS Global Shopfloor Metrology Solutions Leader MARPOSS has recently introduced the new TBD HS, High Speed, on its wide range of products for tool checking on milling machines and machining centers. The new TBD HS is a programmable system for non-contact checking hi-speed tools, particularly committed to those applications where there is the need for hi-speed spindles, up
to 80.000 rpm. Thanks to its rotary switch selector, the TBD HS is able to recognize the tool in two different ways, depending on the actual rotational speed, thus minimizing cycle times, generally crucial in this kind of process. Selecting “Quick Recognition”, the tool checking is performed for 10.000 rpm spindle speed and its multiples; on the other hand, it is possible to choose “Hybrid Recognition” if the speed is 1.000 rpm and its multiples or 10.000 rpm and its multiples. With a reflective, clean tool an impressive 150 msec checking time is achieved, approximately half the time compared to the standard TBD. High spindle speeds and small tool dimensions lead to the need for a fine adjustment for positioning the TBD HS in a very precise way: that is the reason why an effective system has been designed to make accurate and easy the searching procedure of the tool verification position. Once TBD installed and tool approximately pointed, now is even more quick and simple to optimize the laser beam and to find the checking position. The tool breakage detection performed by the TBD HS is improved by the presence (upon request) of a blower for cleaning the receiver glass: taking advantage of the usual standard inlet, both in terms of air flow and pressure, it has been developed a solution able to protect the glass from swarf and scraps without increasing the air consumption. Moreover, when the conditions are particularly harsh because of the aggressive presence of shavings, there is the chance to substitute the standard protection glass with one in sapphire crystal: being 9 out of 10 its hardness degree on the Mohs scale, this kind of protection lets the receiver performance always at its maximum, no more damaged by the extreme machine conditions.

smoothness & sharpness of the cutting edge for a longer tool life.
Q. According you what are the factors affecting to your business?
Q. How do you perceive the future of the industry?
Currently Indian Manufacturing Industry is going through a tough phase, while upcoming projects are looking for high-tech ultramodern tooling solutions, existing customers who are facing sluggish demands are requesting us to provide low cost solutions. Hence, cutting tools supplier needs to have total solutions in their product basket. Even though it is not a reason to worry but it is putting lot of pressure on bottom lines of all cutting tool makers.
Challenging materials, complex geometries, increasingly specialized quality and performance requirements are the main factors putting enormous pressure on development of cutting tools. As a result product life cycle has reduced significantly, increasing development cost, manufacturing cost & service costs. Apart from this, skilled man power to establish the technology is a major concern. With Mitsubishi’s core strengths in developing varieties of cutting tool materials and coatings, opportunities are plenty.
Q. What are the key technological trends that are driving the industry? Conventionally, metal cutting industry was governed by machining of alloy steel, cast iron & aluminum alloys. But due to strict environmental policies, higher demands and to increase the resilience of the product, work materials are changing. High temperature alloys, high strength materials or composite materials are on demand. To cope up with these changes, MMC Japan is investing handsome amount of revenue on research and development to launch new grades, geometries or coating technologies. For example, we recently launched “SMART MIRACLE” end mill series with irregular helix & improved gash geometry for effective chip evacuation. This product is also powered by innovative coating technology called “TOUGH-Σ” to enhance both
Q. What is your vision for your company for near future? In the metalworking industry, there is no other choice except to adopt advanced technology by innovation. The machining demands in future would be so stringent that only advanced technology will be able to meet them. We at MMC sensed this well ahead of the actual needs and already came up with series of new products by marginal rise in the end price, making us one of the leading solution provider globally. Bottom line improvement is a prime requirement of all the customers & innovative technological products only will able to achieve required results which will ensure a WIN – WIN situation for both customer and us.

CRASH-FREE
LINEAR MOTION One of the greatest threats to the long life of a linear motion system usually occurs on its very first stroke. like entering an incorrect motion parameter or failing to connect a limit switch are common and can be catastrophic for the linear bearing. Fortunately, it is not that difficult to minimize crashes and give your bearings a longer lease on life without spending a lot of money. Here’s how:
Get on the same page
Rollon’s Compact Rail features a robust design that withstands all but the most severe crashes.
H
ow do you know when a linear bearing has reached its end of travel? When the carriage hits the wall. At least, that is how the old engineering joke goes. But in reality, crashes are no laughing matter. Also known euphemistically as “hard stops,” crashes occur when an out-of-control pillow block slams into the bearing’s end stop or some other intermediate target. They most often occur when a linear axis is started up for the first time. Even a single crash on that very first stroke can ruin a bearing, triggering expensive repair or replacement costs. The reason why bearings crash on start up mostly comes down to human factors. A control engineer can do a great job calculating the perfect motion profile for a given application, only to overlook some installation details during start up. Small errors
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
All too often there is little communication between the engineer who designs a mechanical system and the engineer who ultimately runs it. This lack of communication can make crashes more likely because it increases the likelihood that the linear axis may be run with motion profile it was not designed to handle. For example, a linear axis may have adequate space for over-travel based on the design inputs—loads, speeds, accelerations and inertia mismatch. Yet if it runs under different conditions, that over-travel space can shrink or disappear. To avoid this kind of problem, it is important for both design and control engineers to have a sense of whether the design values leave enough flexibility to accommodate changes in real-world operating parameters. If not, a less aggressive motion profile may be the only way to avoid crashes.
Avoid over-engineering Other than busted bearings, one of the negative consequences of crashes is over-engineering. Instead of trying to avoid crashes, the engineer will accept them as inevitable and try to design systems that will survive them. To do so, engineers may end up specifying bumpers or gas shocks. As popular as they are, bumpers and other shock absorbers are a bit

like training wheels on a bike. Once someone knows how to ride, off they go. Likewise, linear motion systems that are properly designed and controlled can run safely without the expense of additional protection. Another crash protection strategy involves beefing up linear motion components. Engineers will sometimes size the bearings to survive crashes rather than to meet
You can find Rollon India Pvt. Ltd. and its solutions for automation at: IMTEX 2017 – Bangalore, India – January 26th – February 1st, 2017 Hall 7 - Stand B129 JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
the application’s load, speed and acceleration requirements. This strategy may not add much cost on a single axis, but upsizing the linear motion components on an entire machine can get expensive. All the more so if all those upsized bearings trigger a shift to larger motors, gearboxes and framing elements. When upsized bearings lead to this kind of pervasive over-engineering, it would not be unusual to see 30 percent increase in total machine cost.
Favor crash-worthy bearing designs While most crashes do occur on start up, it is true that they occasionally occur well after a machine has been commissioned. Sometimes a loss of power can trigger a crash, or someone might inadvertently change a control parameter. And truth be told, some machines are not run all that carefully. For these reasons, it can make sense for engineers to design with some crash-worthiness in mind. But what is the best way to do that? Engineers can choose to go with shock absorbers and over-engineered components, accepting those costs as the price of crash protection. Or they can favor linear bearings that inherently have crash-worthy construction. Not all bearings are created equal when it comes to surviving a crash. Recirculating ball systems whose pillow blocks have plastic end caps are notoriously susceptible to crash damage—because the plastic tends to shatter. Even a single crash with this type of pillow block, and you may find its ball bearings all over the floor. Bearings based on larger roller elements lack this particular Achilles
heel. Their ball bearings and their raceway are contained within the roller element, not within a plastic cap. Rollon’s Compact Rail is a prime example of this type of bearing, and it will run just fine with a shattered end cap. And if it ever does experience any crash damage, its interchangeable rollers and pillow blocks allow it to be easily repaired without changing the rails. Given the choice between crash avoidance and crash protection, engineers can save the most money by avoiding crashes in the first place. And it is true that carefully designed motion systems with room for unexpected overtravel are unlikely to crash. Yet in the real world, it pays to be prepared for the occasional hard stop. With the availability of crash resistant roller bearings, crash protection does not necessarily require the expense of adding shock absorbers and over-sized components.

W
ith a new extension of the OPC UA specification, which Beckhoff played a prominent role in helping develop, the publisher/subscriber principle is being introduced into the established and standardised OPC UA communication protocol. Through the early integration of the Pub/Sub UDP extension, Beckhoff has emerged once again as an early adopter of OPC technologies. One particular advantage is the much simplified configuration resulting from direct integration into the TwinCAT 3 engineering environment. Communication is initiated directly from the TwinCAT 3 runtime, creating a deterministic and therefore real-time-capable communication channel via OPC UA.
Advantages of publisher/subscriber communication JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Conventional client/server applications are decoupled from one another in publisher/ subscriber-based data communication and no longer need to "know" each other. The publisher simply sends its data, as a UDP multicast in this case, to a multicast group. The subscribers receive the data by subscribing to the multicast group instead of the actual device. These advantages can be utilised in all areas of machine design, plant engineering and building automation technology. This is espe-
cially true in M2M scenarios within machine networks, for example, in small manufacturing systems as well as complex machines and buildings. According to the current roadmap for the OPC UA specification, this extension is expected to be finalised by the OPC Foundation in early 2017. Accordingly, Beckhoff plans a timely product release in TwinCAT 3.

Maintenance-free and light-weight The xiros thin ring bearings from igus are suitable for application temperatures between -40 degrees Celsius and +80 degrees Celsius. They do not require lubrication and are corrosion free. In the largest test laboratory for plastics in motion at igus with a floor area of 2750 square metres, various rotating and pivotingl tests have proved that the bearings are suitable for several 100 million cycles within permissible loads. “As in all xiros ball bearings, the frictional torque of our thin ring bearings is also very low,” says Marcus Semsroth, head of the xiros ball bearings division at igus. “Thus, no breakaways can be felt when they are moved, which, for example, ensures very good haptics when used on rotary contols.” For the correct selection, configuration and ordering, igus has developed easy-to-use online tools. The best xiros ball bearing can be configured with just a few clicks online.

When IIoT Meets Reality: Key Considerations for Implementing
IIOT STRATEGIES While there is no onesize fits all approach, this article addresses common questions to help organizations build an effective IIoT framework By Colin Geis – Director of Product Management, IIoT, Red Lion Controls “I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.” - Georg C. Lichtenberg JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
T
here have been numerous articles written about the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the benefits it can offer industrial organizations such as manufacturers and resource production facilities. Very little, however, has been written about the implementation realities of effectively assembling assorted IIoT technologies and addressing various decision points throughout the process. True IIoT benefits come not from step changes like upgrading equipment to be more efficient, but instead from driving continuous process efficiency by developing a constant feedback loop for data collection and assessment, used to inform IIoT strategy. While there is no one-size fits all approach, this article addresses common questions to help organizations build an effective IIoT framework. Fortunately, industrial automation and networking solutions that help organizations leverage the IIoT already exist. For instance, protocol conversion capabilities allow a wide range of different machines in heterogeneous environments to talk to each other. Industrial Ethernet switches and cellular M2M RTUs/ routers enable the reliable flow of data anytime, anywhere. With these IIoT-ready products, data can be easily monitored by operators and engineers to provide a solid foundation for IIoT deployment. By combining the right equipment and systems with technically-savvy people, organizations can then turn IIoT hype into reality and use real-time data visibility to drive business advantage.
What’s the goal Many elements of the IIoT can be viewed as an operational toolbox for organizations looking to gain key business insight, regarding when and where portions of their infrastructure can benefit. Several of the tools available to guide this process tie back to common technologies that include protocol conversion, visual management, remote monitoring and industrial Ethernet. The use of these technologies enables organizations to cost-effectively extend equipment lifetime and improve process visibility while pushing control to the edge. But the question for many is where to start? The first step for effective implementation is goal definition. What is the main reason for Mr. Colin Geis – Director of Product Management, IIoT Red Lion Controls
deployment? Is the organization looking to reduce costs and/or improve efficiency? Perhaps it is simply to remotely monitor systems and processes from anywhere at any time? Once implementation goals are defined, the building blocks can be addressed, starting with existing equipment and where the data originates.
What do I already have? After establishing goals, it is important to take inventory of the devices and equipment within the organization. How old are they? In most cases it is unrealistic and cost-prohibitive to “rip-and-replace” legacy equipment.
114 TECH TRENDS
Businesses are likely better off leveraging existing equipment by integrating industrially-fluent communication devices and protocol conversion software to tie all systems together.
How to connect? The best data for IIoT investigation sometimes comes from the most challenging places in a facility. To access and assess this information, machines and sensors from all different pedigrees must connect to collect data for an organization to be able to gain insight. While connecting equipment may sound like a mundane task, consider the fact that legacy operating equipment may have been deployed 50 years ago. How can data be extracted from older equipment without communication capabilities? Perhaps integrating sensors into the equipment or throughout a process can address data collection requirements. Physically connecting equipment via wireless, Ethernet, serial and/or fiber cables is likely a straightforward process if the deployed equipment was designed with communication capabilities. However, a hiccup in this process may arise upon examination of the protocols being used. Are they proprietary protocols, or industry standard? A simple solution is to leverage protocol converters to communicate with IP-friendly protocols. For legacy equipment with limited or no communication capabilities, an organization should consider strategically overlaying a network of sensors to collect data.
How to send data? Once equipment is physically connected and communicating locally, how can data be pushed outside an organization to the “cloud”? Automation and typical layer 2 networking equipment was never designed to send data beyond the local area network. PLCs, RTUS and HMIs are commonly connected via Ethernet for local communication, but that doesn’t equate to communicating to a remote data repository in the cloud. One approach is to deploy gateways to aggregate data and negotiate with remote sites. These networking gateways, which were traditionally called routers, are being re-labeled as IIoT gateways. This IIoT aggregation gateway-based architecture minimizes implementation time by reducing the amount of configuration required to get an entire system communicating with the cloud. A common challenge at this stage, if required, is how to
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
transmit data to the cloud without an available Internet connection, or where the Ethernet is maintained by IT and cannot be used. An easyto-deploy solution might be to install a separate Internet connection, like a cellular router. A cellular router can be deployed in-parallel with control networks, and provides a highly secure communication channel directly to cloud portal providers.
Where does the data go? The real power of the IIoT and cloud computing comes from centralizing data and then integrating applications to digest and process this information. Today numerous IoT platform providers exist. These platforms offer repositories with varying capabilities, from data storage and event processing to device provisioning and reporting. While they often can be configured for unique applications, some are purpose built for easier and quicker implementations. Regardless of application-specific features, there are a number of platform components that should be taken into consideration. For example, how is security handled from data encryption to device authentication, third-party application connections to user access? What communication protocols are supported by the cloud platform? Most commonly MQTT, HTTP and AMQP are the primary protocols for transmitting device-level data to a server. Each has its strength, but MQTT seems to be the predominate protocol due to its ability to handle high-latency networks using a publish/ subscribe architecture.
How to ensure security? Privacy and security are often cited as significant barriers to IIoT investment. Sensitive data must be protected when it is collected and transferred. Special security measures may need to be in place for the systems that collect, monitor, process and store IIoT data securely. But, security is a double-edged sword, and finding a balance between implementation costs related to time and resources combined with data protection can be challenging. Regardless, security must be a key consideration for all IIoT deployments because it impacts all layers from actual sensors to the platform itself. When determining how to ensure security, many questions need to be addressed. For instance, how many locations are connecting to the cloud? Does the implementation require unidirectional or bidirectional communication?
What protocols are being used to transmit data between sites and the cloud? Does the solution support end-to-end encryption?
What’s the cost? When evaluating IIoT solutions, reoccurring costs associated with each component need to be considered. The most common IIoT solutions will typically be a combination of capital expenditures and reoccurring charges. Platform costs are typically billed based on a data received/sent model with additional costs for data storage and add-on features such as control or notification capabilities. Reoccurring services may also come into play if satellite or cellular equipment is deployed for connected equipment. Similar to IIoT platforms, data backhaul solutions also require capital expenditures for hardware and on-going operational costs for the data plans.
Conclusion If the IIoT is still difficult to rationalize, consider the resources and time it would take for a business with thousands of employees continuously running around collecting data on clipboards from legacy equipment and manually feeding information into a data analysis tool. When thinking about how much sensor or process-level data to collect, consider the best output will only come from data that is both strategically and securely gathered. Simply collecting easyto-access surface data will likely not provide the step-change required for ultimate success. This is why organizations need easy-to-deploy IIoT-ready solutions and tools that can seamlessly automate data collection and mining from systems and processes to minimize inefficiencies. By more effectively gathering information, businesses are able to better analyze data to gain more insight into operations. This increased visibility helps drive productivity by highlighting improvement opportunities. In closing, regardless of the goal associated with IIoT implementation, it is important to build a feedback loop for all actionable data. A cyclical process should be established and re-visited periodically to ensure process improvements and cost reductions are continuous.

GST Law. The law makers have done a fantastic job by making a massive broadening of tax base, covering wide taxability and rationalizing the provisions to the benefits of all stakeholders at the same time. However there are some serious challenges to be faced by the dealers and the exchequer at the same time in the model GST law. With GST, it is anticipated that the tax base will be comprehensive, as virtually all goods and services will be taxable, with minimum exemptions.
Benefits of GST The major transformation will happen to Indian economy by developing a common national market and reducing the cascading effect of tax on the cost of goods and services. Apart from this the benefits of GST like simplified compliances, technological backing and uniform processes across India, Seamless input tax credit, free movement of goods due to abolition of check posts, Reduction in multiplicity of taxes will definitely help in doing smooth business. Expected growth in export due to competitive export will be 10%. Common national market would add at least 1.5 to 2% to present GDP. As all the transactions will be done by using

Electronic ledgers and will get reported in the GSTN, (Goods and Service Tax Network) there will not be human interface between taxpayers and tax collectors. This is going to be a great relief. Transaction costs will be reduced and improved compliances & revenue collections will be immense tax booster.
Overall impact of GST One of the biggest challenges for the industry is to understand the enormity of GST. While the Government feels confident with the progress and action plan of GST Network Company (GSTN), the required IT platform, is expected to be ready by the time GST is introduced, industry needs to be equally prepared for the big transition. The big overhaul will affect how the companies operate their businesses, presenting significant opportunities for long-term revenue and margin improvements GST will be transformational and it will affect every part of business right from Financial Reporting, Tax Accounting, Supply Chain, technology enablement and contracts redesign. Training people within the company and its business eco-system will be fundamental for the readiness for the new regime. The transition would have to be managed in a phased manner, wherein companies would have to start by understanding key areas of impact in their business and prepare different scenarios for the design and application of GST. Business cases on changes would have to be developed with the impact of change on revenues and margins. Implementation of changes would have to be managed through robust program management on various work-streams across the value chain of operations. Getting prepared for GST is very important to help identify business impact areas and how you should plan for GST. GST is offering an opportunity to transform and improve the way we do business, and to make the most of this opportunity, it is imperative for the industry to start getting ready for GST. It will have an impact on prices, business processes, investments and profitability in all segments of the economy. It will also entail a fundamental shift in the way tax policies are made in the country.
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Impact on operations & supply chain Businesses need to know where they stand and where they need to go. Initially they will have to assess and identify the exact impact of GST on that particular business. Then they will have to quantify their revenue and economic impact and accordingly develop comprehensive understanding of the opportunities for changes to be made in businesses operation to get maximum benefit of GST and avoid losses due to lack of understanding and clarity.
Pricing (profit & loss and cash flow impact) Understand the internal impact of GST from a product pricing stand point, credit flows, lost credits, higher/ lower taxes, impact on distribution supply chain, and on secondary sales (distributors and retailers)
Strategic Understand opportunities or threats likely to be posed by GST, the potential impact on supply chain, the potential impact on vendors, and change in impact on alternate supply chain scenarios to optimize the impact of GST.
Working capital There will be huge impact on Working capital. Hence businesses need to carefully plan their Inventory management, Cash flow management, Costing and pricing of products.
Contract Management Businesses will have to relook their Contract management including buy side, sell side and internal contracts , Goods, services and composite contracts , Geographical contract (central/ state ), Long term or short term contracts, Contracts under auto renewal, It’s time to re-design of supply chain organization structure and train people on respective changes
Transaction Structuring Will be the most important change businesses will have to go through. Which includes strategically redesign the truncation considering sourcing locations (including domestic v/s imports), Manufacturing locations (Own plants, contract manufacturers), Setting up warehouses, Distributors place to Customers.
Overall managing change in such a way such that there is minimal disruption to business. Giving training to employees on changed process &technology is a must.
Impact on the automotive industry GST will be positive for the automotive sector. Some benefits include: • Blocking of working capital will be reduced as currently the industry is paying approximately 27% taxes. There are chances that the sector will come under the slab of 18% • The need of warehouses will no more be there • From the point of view of procedure, the returns will be online but will automatically generate returns and the reconciliation will be done then and there only. Only the compliance will increase • A dealer will have to file three monthly returns and one yearly return. With the introduction of GST, taxes move from the Origin State to the Consumption State. This would result in significant reduction of flow-back of IPS, since GST on inter-state sales is not credited to the Origin State. While this issue does not strictly arise under the GST law, the shift in the place of supply significantly impacts the IPS. Unless there is a compensation mechanism to the States or to the OEMs with regard to the impact on the IPS due to GST, the effect on project viability for some of the mega automobile projects would be severe. Nevertheless, automobile industry is looking forward to introduction of GST. However, there are quite a few concerns in the draft Model GST law, including some of the key aspects highlighted above, which need to be addressed. Restrictions and conditions on eligibility to tax credits on assets used for business is also a major area of concern, and the credit mechanism should be more liberal. Proper GST administration and dispute resolution (more importantly on inter-state transactions) is very critical apart from the competitive GST rate. The industry is also expecting the procedural changes to be notified in advance, and may require a lead time of at least six months before introduction of GST.

Smart Industry – The future of manufacturing The Industrial world is changing in a trend that goes under a variety of names including Industry 4.0, the 4th industrial revolution, Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT) and smart manufacturing
W
hen most people think of Industry they probably they imagine a big, noisy place where everything runs at the steady pace dictated by giant machines. Raw materials are transformed into finished goods, unvaryingly and at a predictable rate, while people working there adapt to the processes and needs of the machines. While this is still true in many cases, the Industrial world is changing in a trend that goes under a variety of names including Industry 4.0, the 4th industrial revolution, Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT) and smart manufacturing. Often revolutions looks like evolutions to those who are involved at the time. Only with the perspective of history is it clear that a “revolution” happened. At ST we believe that “Smart Industry” is an (r)evolution that builds on the many different technology advances over the past decades (evolution) but which will fundamentally changes the way factories and workplaces function (revolution). For us “Smart” means doing things more efficiently, more flexibly and in a more environmentally friendly manner. It also means the manufacturing will be safer for people working there.
Three prominent directions To achieve this, we see industrial infrastructure
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
evolving in three directions: #1 More Efficient • With Industry consuming 50% of the energy in the world and factories accounting for 80% of that, reducing their energy use will play a major role in putting the planet on a more sustainable course. • Higher efficiency can be improved at all points in power usage with a particular focus on power conversion & energy harvesting, power management, power storage and motor control (since 50% of the energy in a factory is consumed by electric motors) #2 More intelligent and aware • Machines are aware of the humans around them and provide new interfaces such as smart tools, augmented reality and touchless interfaces for easier and safer interactions. • Sensors collect information about every machine all the time. Then safe & secure distributed local processing allows data to be turned into information, allowing real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance and repair. • Products contain the instructions for their
manufacturing and carry that information with them throughout their lifecycle. #3 More Connected • Machines are connected inside the factory to the larger supply chain and to the cloud. When orders can be customized in real time and only what is needed is actually made, this enables optimal planning and flexibility in manufacturing. • Real-time communication down to the lowest level of sensors and actuators, ensuring optimal reactivity and real-time analysis processes • And of course all of these communications are secure Semiconductors are a key enabler behind this new Smart Industry, pervasive through the industrial infrastructure and behind the digital intelligence that it makes possible throughout the entire supply chain. As a supplier with over 30 years’ experience in developing products for factory automation and industrial applications, ST is playing a leadership role with its catalog of products that help make smart industry a reality, today.

LANTEKdelivers high quality production equipment for food industry
Tailored solutions by Lantek meet the efficiency and quality assurance standards of the food industry JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
T
o ensure consumers receive safe food and beverages, the food industry has to meet the highest quality standards - from raw materials to the packaged product on the shelf. Equally high are the demands on the manufacturers of machinery and equipment used in the food industry in terms of safety, quality, reliability, precision and hygiene. To enable these machinery and equipment manufacturers achieve their targets they
need to closely control their processes. Sheet metal software from Lantek enables them to have all their metalworking processes under control at all times. And much more: The CAD/CAM, MES and ERP software solutions from the worldwide market leader optimize all processes: from quote generation to computer-assisted design, intelligent materials usage and synchronization of production steps, to on-time completion and inventory management.
154 CASE STUDY
Companies that manufacture machines for the food industry usually have a wide range of products. The standard range of individual solutions for food mixing, centrifuging or spray-drying is often part of a modular system that can be expanded depending on the needs of the customer and can extend to a complete line which manufactures products from raw materials, packages these and places these on pallets for shipping. The contract-related production of such machines or production lines can leave precious personnel and machine capacity in equipment manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s companies idle and may also generate a lot of part used sheet metal material which, in turn, generate an enormous administrative burden if it is to be used up for future projects.
Cross-project working method A cross-project and share-related working method, on the other hand, unites the data of workpieces of the same material thickness and quality from different jobs, efficiently nests these on the plate, uses part used sheet material for the production of standard parts for stock - and in the end unites all parts of each contract together. Lantek software tools enable companies to use this method of working, enabling them manufacture different models, versions and variants at the same time, in order to make optimum use of their human and equipment resources all the time. The comprehensive software portfolio of CAD / CAM solutions with advanced nesting algorithms and machining and products strategies for production management (sheet metal MES software) and resource planning (ERP) is structured so that companies can accurately find the software components that suit their individual situation and their future development. Based on the overall assessment of the factory and in close cooperation with the customer, the Lantek IT experts will accompany them on the path to a unique overall concept. Integration mechanisms enable the efficient integration
JANUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
of existing software, such as for design or management systems.
Lantek supports interfaces to more than 1,000 machine types With the Lantek Expert and Lantek Flex3d nesting software companies can easily import CAD data and bills of materials - and also create and edit geometries from the files of their food industry customers. The system then nests the forms and creates the CNC code for the programing of sheet metal cutting machines (including oxyfuel, plasma, laser or water jet technology), guillotine shears or punching machines. Interfaces to more than 1000 types of machine enable the customer to control a heterogeneous machine workshop from a single interface with Lantek software, providing them with maximum freedom of choice when purchasing new machinery. Lantek Expert manages the entire machine technology and calculates time and cost per part and per sheet. This enables companies to keep their profitability under better control. Users can retrieve parts, production orders, plates and much more from a parametric parts library and an open database. To do this they need to enter criteria such as the material used, the customer or the date. A further benefit of the software is the quality assurance and traceability of the products delivered to customers in the food industry.
Lantek makes it possible to ensure that the quality is correct, the production is running efficiently and cost-effectively and that delivery deadlines are met software module. If the measurement of the geometry being cut is known, a sample nesting provides exact information as to whether there is enough material available or if more needs to be ordered. The sheets are delivered automatically to the cutting machine. Food processing industry machinery manufacturers need not fear expensive production losses if they wish to enjoy the benefits of Lantek sheet metal software. The installation and commissioning takes place during normal factory operation. In addition, Lantek offers its customers comprehensive support with telephone and remote maintenance and on-site service.
Project status and quality control with a mouse click and in real time Thanks to the permanent monitoring of all production processes up to completion, production managers can track the status of projects and the utilization of the machines with a mouse click in real time. This makes it possible to ensure that the quality is correct, the production is running efficiently and cost-effectively and that delivery deadlines are met. Metal stocks in the warehouse can be efficiently recorded with the Lantek Integra

stablished in 2008, DSK International Campus (DSKIC) in Pune, India is a prestigious design campus and a joint venture between DSK Group of India and lnstitut Superieur de Design Rubika of France (Rubika) under the supervision of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Grand Hainaut. DSKIC and Rubika provide professional training in animation, video game and industrial design driven by comprehensive coursework and an industry-centric approach to training through strong relationships with renowned companies such as Tata Motors, Decathlon, 3DPLM, Volvo and more. DSKIC is committed to inspiring creativity and cultivating well-rounded designers with the help of advanced technologies in 3D printing, 3D animation rendering software, industrial CAD studio tools and thermoforming machines. With access to 3D printing, students create concept models and functional prototypes for applied research and design projects. 3D printing is also used for presenting designs in international exhibitions, design competitions and seminars. “Local businesses are looking for smarter, more economic product designs and manufacturing since the government announced the Make in India and Skill India initiatives. It is important we equip students with knowledge and hands-on experience in the latest technologies that correspond with the industry standard,” said Rattan Gangadhar, head of the digital design department.
Abstract Ideas Brought to Life Hands-on 3D printing helps students better understand complicated design theories. What used to be abstract ideas can now be demonstrated with 3D printed components customized for tailored training. 3D printing also unleashes students’ creativity in their research projects

and in international competitions, including the SIAM Automotive Challenge in India, the 1-Design Award and Red Dot Award in Germany. For the Red Dot Design competition, students had to build a two-in-one vehicle. A team of DSKIC students created the Gecko: a tent on wheels that doubles as a portage to provide shelter and carry goods for rock climbers on difficult climbs. The team was inspired by a gecko’s feet that use tiny hairs and intermolecular forces to stick to surfaces. Students used this same technology on the Gecko, a complex design with irregular geometry. Rather than use traditional methods like CNC machining, the team used CAD and 3D printing to prototype multiple designs. All of the parts, including the headlights and taillights, were printed with Stratasys production-grade ABSp/ us™ thermoplastic, so students could perform functional tests while the vehicle was moving. The team 3D printed a functional, concept mod-
The 3D printer at DSKIC is also useful for teachers and students building models with unique shapes and innovative designs, such as an X-car with rotating wheels. “It would have been very difficult to produce the X-car because of the delicate frame and wheels. But 3D printing made it easy for us as we split the model in two halves and printed them with high accuracy so that they can be snapped together,” said Gangadhar. DSKIC’s visionary move to implement 3D printing into its coursework has opened the eyes of its students to innovative designs in transportation, manufacturing and digital design as prototyping becomes more cost-effective and efficient. Today, students from various departments regularly use the 30 printer to fine tune their designs and compete in some of the most prestigious design challenges in the world. “3D printing has motivated students to be as creative as they can be and given them a great tool to visualize their designs without much hassle. Seeing them keep experimenting is perhaps the most rewarding for instructors,” said Gangadhar.
