igus cables set new standards for continuous movement in energy chains While igus has significantly extended its cable range in the lower and middle price segment over the past years, at this year’s SPS IPC Drives igus is presenting new high-end cables with an outer jacket made of halogen-free TPE. High-end cables from the chainflex range are the right solution when the properties of other cable series are no longer sufficient. The motion plastics specialist igus has now included a new Bus cable series in its product range for the smallest bend radii for Bus cables, down to 7.5xd or even for temperatures down to -35°C. Specially developed and tested for movement in e-chains The core structure of the CFBUS.
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
LB cable is optimised for movement, combined with an inner jacket and the highly flexible, abrasion-optimised igus TPE outer jacket, offering a unique solution when it comes to Bus cables for Ethernet. “The customer will already find several cable series with an outer jacket made of this material in our range, which has proven itself for many years in numerous moving applications,” explains Rainer Rössel, head of the
chainflex cables division at igus. “To offer them a better choice, we are now offering a Bus cable family for the highest mechanical stress with the new CFBUS.LB.” This can be used for all common Bus systems such as Ethernet CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, Ethercat, Profinet or even the standard fieldbuses such as Profibus. The “LB” in the product name stands for “low bending”, i.e. a very low bend radius, in which the cable can be moved in energy chains. In addition to the CFBUS. LB, igus now also offers a control cable and a servo cable with the same outer jacket material. Due to the extension of the range, it has now become even easier for customers to choose exactly the
cable that works reliably in their application - without having to pay too much. Tested under real conditions guaranteed to last Whether for very cost-effective ones for applications with very moderate movements or for the highest dynamics and the most complicated movements, igus guarantees a service life of 36 months on all cables. This is onlyt possible through continuous tests under real conditions in the igus test laboratory. The results make it possible to reliably predict the service life and the specific temperatures and bend radii in which the cable can be safely used.

High-speed CAN-enabled data acquisition modules launched Accurate Technologies Inc. (ATI), the leading independent global supplier of control system development tools, is expanding its range of EMX™ thermo and analogue data acquisition modules with the launch of high-speed CAN-enabled versions of the devices, which redefine the sector’s cost-perchannel ratio, offering best-in-class performance, user flexibility and functionality. The new EMX modules are launched this week at the SIAT 2017, the SAE Symposium on International Automotive Technology, held in Pune. Standard versions of the EMX run a proprietary Instrumentation Communication Protocol but the new high-speed CAN-enabled
units can be used with any one of the significant number of third party applications capable of decoding CAN messages, or in combination with ATI’s renowned VISION™ data acquisition software suite. ATI’s high-speed CAN EMX modules incorporate advanced, powerful, user-definable technical features that are generally unavailable in competitor CAN DAQ hardware. These include the ability to automatically send defined messages on the CAN bus, while the EMX’s DSP filter settings and sensor power voltages can also be controlled over CAN. This is all accomplished via ATI’s free Hardware Configuration
utility which provides an intuitive user interface, making it easy to configure an entire DAQ network incorporating multiple EMX units. “Increasingly with our vehicle manufacturer and tier one customers, we are seeing the need for: flexibility; the ability to work with a variety of technologies and
platforms; and greater responsiveness to specific application requirements,” states Umesh Patel, CEO of ATI UK and India. Designed and manufactured exclusively at ATI’s plant in Michigan, the high-speed CAN-enabled EMX DAQ modules are available in thermo and analogue variants, or as a combination of channels and are offered in two compact and robust formats: the original B-chassis and a smaller A-chassis, featuring compact, water-tight, internal vibration-damped, aerospace-grade IP67-rated, hard-anodized billet aluminum housings.

HARTING celebrates big Hannover Messe anniversary
Long since the world’s biggest industry trade show, Hannover Messe will be exactly 70 years old this year. And the HARTING Technology Group has good reason to join the celebrations, too: this family owned and family managed company is among the handful of exhibitors who have made the
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
journey to the capital of Lower Saxony every single year since 1947. Hanover is highly significant to HARTING for many different reasons. HARTING’s attendance at this year’s fair comes under the banner “HARTING@Hannover Messe: a strong connection for 70 years”.
The HARTING Technology Group sees itself as a pioneering force for digital transformation, offering yet more innovative Integrated Industry products and solutions this year, too. “Integrated Industry creates value. At this year’s Hannover Messe, we will be demonstrating how HARTING products and solutions can make a real contribution to delivering increased customer benefit”, says CEO Philip Harting. Back then, company founder Wilhelm Harting was not to know that, by 2017, his grandchildren Philip and Maresa Harting would be the head of a Technology Group employing 4,300 people – the third generation taking the company forward since1945. When “Wilhelm Harting Mechanische Werkstätten” opened 1945 its doors in Minden, Wilhelm Harting was on the lookout for customers for his new business – initially
successful for its electric fences, hotplates, energy-saving lights and irons. “He was looking to strike up a relationship with new customers”, remembers Dietmar Harting, who went along his father and with his brother Jürgen when they were children. Both boys found the “Export Messe” really exciting. “There was ice cream, bananas and cake”, says Dietmar Harting. The first fair in the summer of 1947 lasted 21 days and was open exclusively to German exhibitors. Around 1,300 companies attended the event in Hanover, which attracted 736,000 visitors and generated export contracts to the tune of nearly 32 million US dollars. Because there were only 180 hotel rooms available, over 10,000 visitors had to stay in private accommodation. For more information www.harting.com

packaging, metal processing, and food and beverage. In addition to added Ramp Soak functionality, the following field-installable FlexCard options allow organizations to quickly customize PAX2C PID controllers to add communication, setpoints, retransmitted analog, heater current monitor, second analog input and second PID control features: Heater Current Monitor Card: measures heater currents to allow proactive health monitoring and maintainance, thereby helping to remove excess waste in production environments. Second Process Input Card: supports programming for several functions, including serving as either a process input that acts like a separate panel meter or a remote setpoint that allows a remote input to change the setpoint value of the controller. It also provides the capability to easily add another PID controller to each unit. “To meet the needs of numerous PID
control applications, our newly enhanced PAX2C PID controllers offer benefits to users who need flexible equipment that supports display reading at any point in the process,” said Jeff Thornton, product manager at Red Lion Controls. “The real savings comes through when our PID controllers are tailored to specific applications by adding option cards. This enables customers to reduce overall support inventory with a versatile solution that meets a multitude of PID control requirements today and tomorrow.” Red Lion’s Crimson® programmed PAX2C PID controllers are dual-line displays that change color based on process status, alerting when a value is out of a specified range. With universal process inputs and AC/DC power input, PAX2C controllers accept DC current, DC voltages, process signals, thermocouples and RTD inputs to provide an all-in-one platform that eases integration. Additional features include a large LCD display with easy-to-read bar graphs, programmable annunciators, up to 16 alarms and a built-in USB programming port. Red Lion’s advanced PAX2C modular platform provides an easy upgrade path that enables integrators and panel builders to reduce inventory requirements while increasing application support.

Henkel India launches Bonderite duaLCys process Henkel Adhesives Technologies India Private Limited (Henkel India), a fully owned subsidiary of Henkel AG & Co. KGaA and the leading solution provider for adhesives, sealants and functional coatings, has introduced Bonderite duaLCys process, which exploits lubricant-cleaner synergies to reduce costs, boost performance, save energy, lower waste generation, and improve working conditions. In metal machining operations, you can be more sustainable, improve your cleaning performance and save money all at the same time with Henkel’s Bonderite duaLCys patented technology. “It reduces costs by over 40% by using an innovative process that leverages the synergies between the lubricant and the cleaning fluid. In the Bonderite duaLCys process, the in-process cleaner is recycled into the lubrication bath, rather than being discarded as
waste,” says Barun Bharadwaj, Business Director - Transport & Metal, Henkel India. Henkel Adhesive Technologies is present across the metalworking value chain leveraging its strength in cleaners to complement the company’s presence in water miscible lubricants. The new Bonderite duaLCys system requires less water, helps to minimize waste, and saves energy by allowing the washer bath to operate at a reduced temperature. In addition to delivering low reject rates and high surface quality, Bonderite duaLCys also offers improved working conditions resulting from the use of safer, more predictable solutions. “In the Indian automotive industry, the new Bonderite duaLCys process provides a competitive edge to automakers, automotive-suppliers and other machining companies alike by providing a more cost-effective, sustainable
process for the manufacture of metal parts such as powertrain components, HVAC compressors and other machined parts,” says Bharadwaj. “The Bonderite duaLCys process is a unique concept in the area of machining and in-process cleaning for the metalworking market,” says Martin Desinger, Business Development Manager, Machining & Grinding Fluids - Europe, Henkel Adhesive Technologies. “Recycling the cleaning fluid instead of throwing it away, and making use of synergies between it and the water-soluble cutting fluid, results in an excellent combination of high lubricity, superior part cleanliness and excellent corrosion protection,” he adds.

Hypertherm now shipping FlushCut consumables Hypertherm, a US based manufacturer of plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems announces the release of FlushCut™ consumables for select Powermax® air plasma systems. Available for Powermax105 and 125 systems, the consumables provide users with the ability to cut closer to base materials than ever before. FlushCut consumables feature an angled nozzle bore that delivers the plasma arc at a 45 degree angle ideal for challenging removal applications. Instead of locating the nozzle opening at the tip as is typically done, the FlushCut nozzle orifice is located on the side. This essentially bends the plasma arc,
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
causing it to exit the torch at an angle nearly parallel to the workpiece. As a result, Powermax users can cut closer, or more flush, to the base metal than ever before, significantly reducing grinding work and increasing the opportunity to reuse lugs and attachments. The new flush cutting process is helpful for a number of applications including jobs that require the separation of two metals. The consumables allow users to more easily remove lugs, temporary weld supports, and pad eyes without damaging the base material holding the piece in place. In addition, the flush cutting process simplifies the cutting of weld
access holes in I-beams, and also makes it easier to remove bolts or other parts from metal plate. For more information please visit www.hypertherm.com/FlushCut. “Strong investment in research and development along with a drive to continuously innovate has led our engineering team to develop a truly groundbreaking consumable design,” said Brenda Mahoney, a product manager for Hypertherm torch and consumable products. “This new process has the potential to save companies a substantial amount of time while reducing operator fatigue and increasing safety on the jobsite.”
The introduction of FlushCut consumables is just one more example of how Hypertherm is helping customers address challenging metal cutting and removal applications. The company’s engineers have developed numerous torch and specialty consumable options including consumables for gouging, extended reach cutting, marking, and fine feature cutting.

Union Budget to bolster Machine Tool industry The union budget released by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley reaffirms India’s commitment to macro-economic stability and prudent fiscal management. The budget offers stability and opportunities for India’s manufacturing sector and its machine tool industry. The growth tonic for MSMEs such as 5% reduction in income tax, longer carry forward of minimum alternate tax credit and 3 year tax exemption for startups, doubling the lending target under MUDRA Yojana, etc. will ease the doing of business and create jobs. The industry welcomes the ministry’s move to step up allocation for capital expenditure by 25.4% as against the year before and control fiscal deficit at 3.2% of the GDP for FY18 while going ahead with the planned development.
The revenue deficit for next year is pegged at 1.9% as against the 2% mandated by the FRBM (Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management) Act. Vibrant manufacturing is critical for the country’s growth. The incentives given in the budget are but an initial step. The sops will take some time to trickle down to the end users resulting in demand for goods and services. However, with the momentum given by this budget the machine tool industry will pick itself up and traverse on the right track. The reduction in income tax to 25% is a positive step towards development of the MSME sector and enhance their production capacities. Machine tool industry is the backbone of MSMEs. The Indian Machine tool Industry has around 1000 units engaged in
the production of machine tools, accessories/ attachments, subsystems and parts. Of these, around 25 in the large scale sector account for about 70% of the turnover and the rest are in the MSME sector and this sector stands to benefit a lot from this budget. The ministry’s move therefore will eventually give an uptick for the machine tool industry business. Throwing light on the budget, PG Jadeja, President, IMTMA said, “the customs duty reduction from 7.5% to 2.5% on three critical components (CNC systems, ball screws and linear motion guides) has been extended to all CNC machine tools under HSS code 8456 to 8463. This will have a direct bearing on the machine tool industry and enhance its development.”

Mastercam 2017 for SOLIDWORKS features 3D machining enhancements, Multiaxis improvements, and so much more. Mastercam will also be presenting “Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS” in the Certified Partner Theatre on Monday, February 6 from 7:30 – 7:45 PM. Maximum Stock Engagement allows you to select a previously made stock model and set the maximum depth so that you can limit how deeply the cutter engages uncut materials, especially useful when semifinishing a part. Perpendicular
fill for the Raster toolpath allows you to limit raster passes and then fills in the limited area with perpendicular raster motion
to create a more consistent finish. And, for quicker toolpath regeneration, the processing time for High Speed Scallop has been
decreased. To reduce confusion, the Multiaxis toolpaths have been consolidated. They are now grouped by either a Pattern or Application toolpath to make them easier to find. The new 4-axis toolpath, Rotary Axis, allows more control over the tool motion through the selection of walls, hubs, and shroud surfaces. And, Multiaxis Drill has many new features including using a line length for the drill depth and recognition of the stock model for depth and top of stock purposes. With Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS, users get support from Mastercam Resellers around the world; many who have been supporting Mastercam for over 25 years. From tech support and training to curriculum and rollouts, Mastercam is there to make sure your shop is running at its best.

Renishaw & Dassault Systèmes deliver integrated AM experience
Renishaw is collaborating with Dassault Systèmes, a world leading 3D modelling, simulation and industrial operations software provider, as part of its commitment to provide and enhance software for metal additive manufacturing (AM). Users of Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform applications can now design, optimise, simulate and set up AM builds directly for production on Renishaw’s AM systems,
which build 3D metal parts using laser powder bed fusion technology. Dedicated CATIA applications include a range of tools to develop and perform topological optimisation of parts. DELMIA is employed to generate the process from build set up to generation of the necessary laser paths (scan paths). Simulation of the entire AM build, including stress analysis and distortion prediction, is carried out in SIMULIA.
Both Renishaw and Dassault Systemes have software which is accessible to authorised third parties and this played a key role in the collaboration. It ensures the laser paths (scan paths) generated by DELMIA are optimised for Renishaw metal AM systems and produce the best quality builds. This open ecosystem ethos enables collaboration with other experts working towards the common goal of creating a streamlined AM software experience. “The 3DExperience platform cou-
pled with QuantAM enables parts to be produced accurately from the outset, which is of tangible time and cost benefit to users. It marks the beginning of many enhancements we have in the pipeline to improve the AM user experience and streamline the front-end of the manufacturing process,’’ explained Stephen Anderson, Renishaw’s Director of Group Software. This process control software is part of Renishaw’s wider mission to provide end-to-end solutions for innovative manufacturing and support the managed integration of AM into the production workspace. Renishaw has a heritage of developing software programs for its metrology and healthcare products, where accurate measurement of complex parts and verification against CAD models are critical.

Konecranes plant boosts environment with cost-efficient solar power
A company dedicated to producing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient lifting machinery, Konecranes, has put its philosophy into action in its own manufacturing processes by converting one of its newest global plants to operate extensively on solar power. The Konecranes plant in Pune, India - which serves the growing needs of the wider Asian market has in partnership with CleanMax Solar installed a 7300 sq m rooftop
solar array with an estimated total capacity of 730 kWp to provide 67 per cent of the company’s energy requirement. “By taking unused roof space and transforming it to the productive task of making clean energy, we will save about 1300MT of carbon emissions per annum, which is as good as removing 400 cars off the road,” said Mr Suhas Baxi, Konecranes Managing Director-Sub-Region South Asia.
“We want our product to be known as the best on the market from an energy efficiency point of view, so this initiative is very timely and very relevant, said Mr Baxi, who participated in an opening ceremony preceding the solar plant’s planned first full year of operation in 2017. Konecranes Pune’s new solar plant, spread across three bays of the extensive premises in west India, generates about 11 lakh units annually (1,100,000
units, or Kilowatt-Hours (kWH) of electricity), fulfilling around 67% of the plants power needs. The system is also able to feed back excess power generated to the grid, thus contribution to India’s solar mission. “This is the first major solar plant installation for Konecranes globally, providing an initiative by which Konecranes India has set even higher sustainability goals not only amongst the global Konecranes family, but also for manufacturing generally, by showing what is possible.” By abating 1400 MT of carbon dioxide annually, the installation will assist in saving 11,500 trees throughout the plant’s life cycle. Catering to cost-efficiency goals, Konecranes will save approximately INR 25 lakhs (2.5 million rupees) annually on its power consumption, in addition to going green without any capital expenditure.

Simple & safe: Focus on CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Machine builders need appropriate, customised control concepts in order to meet rising demands on productivity and plant and machine availability. Interaction between the control functions for automation and safety are the key to success. FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
S
impler, more flexible, more productive, more efficient – as the demands on plant and machinery rise, so too does the level of automation. And control technology has a key role. It is the playmaker; it processes the digital and analogue signals from the sensors and input devices, sends them to actuators, drives and control devices and keeps the plant running. The processes required to do this are becoming increasingly complex; the number of relationships within a machine is rising and the level of networking is also growing. This creates additional challenges in terms of handling. At the same time, in many sectors people are moving ever closer to the process, to fit and set up machinery for example. Where man-machine interaction is as close as possible, it can help to improve plant availability and therefore increase productivity. Accordingly, safe automation is
becoming increasingly important within the whole automation concept. With intelligent, safe control architectures, users have the freedom they need for customised implementation of the safety requirements for design, operating and service concepts, as well as operator regulations. The result is a specific requirement profile based on the machine type, application area and necessary safety concept – depending on the prescribed risk assessment. It may make sense, therefore, to operate existing machine control systems and safety control systems separately or even to merge them within one joint automation system. Not every concept is equally suitable for all machines.
Standardising safety The determining factor when selecting the appropriate safety system is the plant’s function
66 TECH UPDATE
(PLCs), users can choose whether to program using the standardised editors in accordance with EN/IEC 61131-3 for automation and safety tasks or configure using the Program Editor PASmulti, which continues the configuration philosophy of the PNOZmulti Configurator. In all the Editors named here, Pilz offers a wide range of safe, certified function blocks.
Distributing intelligence range. For example, by their very nature, standalone machines have fewer safety functions than interlinked machines and do not need an overriding safety function, such as a safety area shutdown. Configurable control systems are particularly suitable for this type of application. One classic application area is series machine building. In this case, manufacturers are often forced to use prescribed or country-specific machine control systems. Slight changes are continually needed to the automation concept. Openness is therefore essential. As the Pilz configurable control systems PNOZmulti support all common fieldbus and Ethernet-based communication systems, for example, machine operators can choose the operational control system that best suits their individual needs and don’t need to worry about how safety is connected. Both manufacturers and users benefit from this standardisation of safety, in terms of troubleshooting, machine design and training. Ease of use is one of the strengths of the configurable control systems PNOZmulti. Instead of carrying out the wiring manually, the user creates a safety program quickly and simply using the software tool PNOZmulti Configurator and the certified function blocks for safety-related functions that are stored within it. Compared with conventionally wired solutions, users save time and money on design, configuration, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance. The configurable control systems PNOZmulti are also powerful enough to assume complete machine control on smaller machines. As a result, the machine builder has no need for an additional control system and so can make savings in a range of areas, from hardware costs and space in the control cabinet to procurement and stock holding costs.
Safety and automation in one system Increasingly, safety is no longer just dominated by static events, such as the actuation of an emergency stop mechanism or the opening of a guard door, but must be capable of reacting
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
to sometimes multifaceted situations or to the results of complex calculations. Dynamic safety concepts, such as different operating modes or torque monitoring based on the position of one or more axes, will continue to find their way into the control architecture in future. Increasingly that requires more complex relationships with the individual elements in the overall process chain. Machine data – whether for automation or safety – must be capable of being processed together. The trend is for automation and safety functions to use a common control architecture – or even to functionally merge the two areas that have previously always been separate. Hybrid designs are catching on, especially in distributed systems, in order to minimise cabling complexity and interface problems, for example. Machine tools are one example: Safe CNC or motion controllers, for example, record safety-related information such as linear speed, rotational speed or standstill at the various axes directly via their integrated encoder systems, passing the information on to safety control systems for safe evaluation. In this case they not only process local safety functions, but also record and forward signals, for monitoring end positions for example. Just one common periphery system is needed for the important control-related process signals as automation I/Os and the I/Os for the safety functions. Thanks to the openness of the safety control system, additional encoder systems, interface problems or adapter solutions are consigned to the past. Here Pilz can offer the control systems PSSuniversal multi. These continue the philosophy of the configurable control systems and can implement local safety functions as well as recording and forwarding periphery signals. The control systems PSSuniversal PLC illustrate how great the synergies can be for visualisation, diagnostics, servicing, maintenance work and engineering when functional and safety-related parts of a machine control system can be considered together. As they are fully-fledged programmable logic controllers
Both PSSuniversal multi and PSSuniversal PLC are control systems in the automation system PSS 4000 from Pilz. The central idea of PSS 4000 is to merge automation and safety. Process or control data, failsafe data and diagnostic information are exchanged and synchronised via the Ethernet-based SafetyNET p. For the control function, therefore, it makes no difference where the respective program section is processed. Instead of a centralised control system, a user program distributed in runtime is made available to the user within a centralised project. All network subscribers are configured, programmed and diagnosed this way. So for all control tasks, the user maintains a centralised view of distributed systems. If the intelligence is distributed in the machine components, the benefits can be seen in greater availability due to local error reactions and higher productivity as a result of shorter reaction times across the whole system. Dividing the intelligence into smaller machine components also leads to improved scalability. Such multi-master automation structures result in largely standalone cell control systems, which can interact within the network. So PSS 4000 enables the mechatronic approach to be transferred to the control level, which is a key step towards Industry 4.0. Plants can be broken down into manageable, independently functioning units. As a result, the cost of engineering, commissioning and maintenance is significantly reduced. If plants are thought out and designed mechatronically, the system and hardware can be developed in parallel, for example. To date, software development is only started once the machine specification has been established. Subsequent changes or expansions to functions are very difficult retrospectively because the program as it stands accesses the hardware directly. The degree of standardisation of elements of plant and machinery also rises, allowing them to be adapted rapidly and flexibly to changing customer requirements.

UNION BUDGET-2017
“Budget seems to have focused on consumption led growth.” Dr. Jay Varadaraj, Managing Director, ELGI EQUIPMENTS LTD.
“The budget seems to be an effort to narrow inequity in income and wealth between the top and the bottom of the spectrum, in society as well as industry. The personal income tax reduction to people in the low tax brackets and reduction in corporate tax rates for MSME seem to reflect this thinking. While these concessions seem like compensation for the pain
caused by demonetization to these segments, they also seem to be based on the belief that small surpluses in the hands of large number of people and entities in these segments, will spur consumption led growth. Specifically to our business there is nothing that would either trigger growth or dampen it. Overall the budget seems to have focused on consumption led growth. The allocations to railways, defense and infrastructure development could trigger growth for us but we expect
this to happen with a lag. The removal of FIPB would disentangle any remaining inertia in clearing foreign direct investment projects. This could potentially prepare the nation to receive more investments from multinationals and foreign companies. Depending upon how significant the response is to this, these investments could further enhance growth of the economy.”
UNION BUDGET-2017
“A feel good neutral budget” increased allocation for high ways, reactivation of airports in tier two cities, substantial outlay for the railways. The budget has also taken digital India initiative forward with committed optic fiber connectivity in Gram Panchayats and various other digital initiatives like Tele Medicine, Education & Skill development through digital technology.
Mr. Rushil Shah, Managing Director, Shavo Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
• I would say the budget is a feel good neutral budget with no major negatives that would badly affect any sector of the economy. The budget has had several measures aimed at increase in spending in rural areas to fight poverty and provide better infra structure, but no big bang announcements • There have been several initiatives for infra structure development which should yield results, some of the important ones would be
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
• With respect to manufacturing sector the commitment for July 2017 launch of GST was a plus point, and much awaited, while there was some sector -wise benefits, the reduction in corporate tax for companies have turn over less than 50 crores will give a fillip to the MSME sector. The increase in MAT carry forward period will also help India in general along with the push in infrastructure spending. • I think, some of the steps such as abolishing FIPB, additional steps towards digital economy, the small relief to individual income tax payers in the 2.5 to 5 lacs bracket, the boost to the banking sector and the 25% increase in capital expenditure should come towards boosting the overall economy. Some relief for Start-ups has also been announced.
• In our particular industry the reduction in tax rate from 30% to 25% will provide a benefit and the commencement of GST should also boost the industry after the first two quarters of launch. • A few steps were taken to take ease of doing business but much more could have been done in this regard. The Procedures and compliance for GST also seem daunting. The merging of authority for advance ruling for income tax, excise, customs and service tax will help along with the proposed abolishment of FIPB. There has also been some simplification in the custom procedures which would speed up the process while making it simpler • Well more could have been done in the personal taxation area, many corporates were looking for a tax reduction, while the MSME initiative covers 90% of companies the tax contribution is not large, a mention to progress on Labor reforms would be something to look forward to.

“India should be able to achieve a GDP growth of 7-8% in the next few years.” • The Union Budget 17-18 continued to follow on the path of Infrastructure development thru higher outlays and targets for Roads and Housing, enhanced focus on rural economy, skill development and employment and incentives to the MSME sector… all this without compromising on Fiscal Discipline and fiscal consolidation. The budget aims to contain deficit @3.2% of GDP restricting its borrowing to Rs 5.8 trillion resulting in more money for Private sector lending, softer inflation growth and lower interest rate which should energize private investment and consumer demand.
Mr. Satish Bhat, Managing Director, Ador Welding Ltd.
• Higher allocation of @ 3.75 L crores for infrastructure development and granting infrastructure status to affordable housing projects will certainly boost the sector performance. • Reduction in corporate tax rates to 25% for entities with turnover less than Rs 50 crores is a boost to MSME sector. This is expected to revive this sector and attract new investments to the sector due to growing net returns. The incentive on manufacturing Digital Devices and encouraging its consumption will result in renewed investments in the sector. Investments planned in sectors like Infrastructure, Railways, Defence, Housing, Dairy, etc are expected to drive the demand for manufacturing sector. • Improving ease of doing business, clarity and consistency in tax policy should attract higher foreign direct investment. Investment in rural, agriculture and infrastructure sectors is expected to drive the growth in the short term and have a multiplier effect in the long term growth. FIPB has been proposed to be abolished so maximum investments would be channelized through the automatic route.

This coupled with GST implementation from Jul 1 is expected to provide a fillip to the economy. • The allocation to Infrastructure, Transport (Railways, Metro, Roadways, Shipping) and Defense will certainly drive demand for Welding products. Boost to Rural economy will increase demand for farm equipment’s, two wheelers, and other automotive products. These sectors are in turn also drivers for other sectors such as Cement, Steel, Mining, etc. All these sectors are customers to the Welding Industry. We hence are confident of a positive impact on welding industry. • Improving ease of doing business and clarity on taxation, including the expected GST implementation will reduce the complexity involved in doing business in India and will certainly attract renewed interest in various sectors from domestic players as well as MNCs. • The Government resolve for structural change in the economy will have a long term impact on the economy. Gains may not be seen or felt in the short term but the road map for containing fiscal deficit, lower tax rates, etc, is bound to generate higher investments, savings, consumption and growth. We believe that India should be able to achieve a GDP growth of 7-8% in the next few years.

Thus sustainability is a big question mark. • With such low rates for renewable energy and very low rate of growth for the thermal segment, the sector is going to struggle till rapid industrialization comes in. • PLF and Per Capita Consumption needs to be increased substantially to have further investment in this segment.

An increase of allocation for infrastructure segment would see a likely increase in electricity demand. Growth of electrical vehicles and electro mobility would see the Electricity segment leap frogging both in terms of technology as well as accessibility and availability. Significant rise in allocation under the Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS) and the Electronics Development Fund (EDF), which provides capital subsidy of up to 25 per cent, is expected to benefit major domestic electronic industry as well as Solar Cell and Module manufactures.

Reduction of corporate tax rate should be a game changer

he Union Budget is a fiscally prudent budget aimed at fiscal consolidation which should lead to a stable economic growth if implemented in a planned manner. Some announcements like a new metro rail policy, abolition of Foreign Investment Promotion Board are forward looking which will provide necessary policy impetus to investor sentiments. Selective reduction of corporate tax rate for companies below Rs 500 million turnover should be a game changer as far as corporate tax inclusion is considered since this will
encourage higher compliance at the lower level of the corporate pyramid where percentage of tax leakages is usually much higher. We also welcome the government’s efforts and commitment to electrification program which mentions that 100% village electrification will be achieved by May 1, 2018.

Mr Anil Chaudhry, Country President and Managing Director, Schneider Electric India
ith India being the fifth largest energy consumer in the world, the country needs to make a concerted effort in promoting energy efficiency by reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and curtailing carbon footprints. While access to energy is a basic human right, we need to make it sustainable. Today’s budget gave a clear indication of the government’s focus to achieve ‘sustainable energy for all’, with two of its critical steps; firstly, by providing a boost to rural electrification with a 25% increase in the outlay for key power schemes like Integrated Power Development Scheme and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojna. This is expected to fast track the
rural electrification drive of the Government, which is now planned to be completed by May 1, 2018. Secondly, by strengthening its focus on renewable energy forms with the inflow of another 20 GW in the next fiscal. This however, will require investments in grid management and digitisation of the grid to ensure supply of quality reliable and safe power. It is important to stress that along with rural electrification, it is equally important to provide reliable and quality power which requires investments towards modernisation of the country’s transmission and distribution power networks and use of digitisation in grid management.

The Finance Minister did a good job focusing on key and strategic measures for the railway sector. The increased Budget allocation to railways, focus on safety through the ‘Rail Sanraksha Kosh’, an enhancement of throughput are very welcome measures. Additional resources will come to the transport sector basis the announced measures of modifying the metro policy, PPP operation of tier two cities and through the ‘Multi Model Transport Approach’. Indian Railways will contribute to the enduring success of Indian Growth story through its pivotal role in ensuring reliable delivery of goods and services as well as providing a safe and secure environment for businesses and people across India. We are really happy to see adequate representation in the combined Union Budget bringing it in the centre stage of the economic growth. With focus on spending more on infrastructure area, the planned Rs 8.5 lakh crore investments
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
towards Indian Railways modernization initiative are on the right track. Rs. 1.31 lakh crore has been budgeted for Railways for capital expenditure and development in 2017-18. Focus on improving the throughput by further 10% through various infrastructural developments will help railways in a long way. Provisions in the budget with a focus on Safety, Infrastructure Development and Energy Efficiency through various initiatives are a welcome move. A separate safety fund (Rail Sanraksha Kosh) of Rs 1 lakh crore over the next five years reaffirms the commitment. Railways now should invest in state of the art technologies to enhance Safety e.g. Train Protection Warning System & Train Collision Avoidance System & Automate Signaling & Safety Systems. Phase wise but speedy implementation of these technologies would help elimination of unmanned level crossings by 2020 will enhance the safety in rail transport and needs to be implemented at the earliest. 7,000 solar powered railway stations in the medium term, implementation of degradable waste to energy are some of the moves aimed at improving energy efficiency, apart from the infrastructural development initiatives like increasing speed of electrification. A multimodal and integrated transport system is critical for any nation. It directly impacts the nation’s environment, quality of life, and economic growth. Considerable capacity addition on a sustained manner across the railway network is essential for sustainable economic growth and development. Railways is clearly defining this through two major initiatives, • Integration of end to end transport solutions through partnership with logistics players for front end and back end solutions for select commodities. Moves to rope in higher
private participation through logistic parks and warehousing for last mile connectivity would help Indian Railways take a leap towards global league. • New Metro Policy with innovative implementation and financing options and standardized implementation processes that would help increase the job creations. Some of the other initiatives proposed in the general interest of the people are, • Withdrawal of Service Tax on the tickets booked through IRCTC • Station redevelopment programme • 500 stations enabled for differently able travellers • Coaches of Indian Railways to be fitted with bio-toilets Over the last one year, decisions on key projects have been expedited and concluded with absolute transparency. Indian Railways needs to continue this approach for the other iconic projects of national interest in the future that would give fillip to the Transportation Industry. The initiatives proposed for railways in the budget have taken a pragmatic approach to continue the transformation of the Railways. We are confident that the Public Private Partnership projects will benefit from the operational efficiencies of private sector and domain expertise of the Railways. All these reforming initiatives and thrust on enhancing transparency would impact industry positively. Overall the focus on Railways in the budget 2017-18, is progressive and aims at ushering in the much desired transformation of the Railways at a faster pace. I would rate these provisions in the budget as pragmatic and positive, as it would be beneficial for the industry, and people at large.

he overall budget proposal has to be viewed in the current macro-economic context and the 3 specific challenges 1) US Fed decision on interest rate 2) Future of Global Oil prices and 3) Implications of developed nations retreating on globalization. These 3 challenges create uncertainty which require some preparedness to deal with them and the budget proposal are responding to these requirements in a balanced way. As we know low global oil prices in the last few years have helped our economy in terms of lower inflation and also more importantly in terms of revenue generation for Government. To deal with the above mentioned challenges the Finance Minister announced two important initiatives with regard Oil and Gas sector. He has proposed reduction of basic customs duty for imported LNG from current 5% to 2.5%. This will help to enhance the share of gas in our energy mix which is currently relatively low. Gas being the cleaner fossil fuel it will have beneficial impact on our environment as well as help boost the

His proposal is to restructure these companies to match the global companies in terms of its financial heft. Such a restructuring will not only help to enhance their value of stock in the market, it will also help them to mobilize future financial resources for their expansion and growth. Many of the large NOCs from other major countries are today listed in other international stock markets. Recently Saudi Aramco announced its plan for gradual listing to pave way for internationalization of Saudi economy.

The idea of an integrated oil major as originally floated by UPA I, which was not found viable, is now being reconsidered by the present government. I would think that creation of more refining capacity would be better rather than the new strategic reserve of crude oil . As the new refining capacity will not only achieve the same objective of creating Strategic reserve but will also lead to socio-economic development and creation of huge employment opportunities. On personal IT side, it is heartening to note the government’s acknowledgement of the contribution by the salaried class.

Innovations showcased recently: FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
1) WELD TRACKER This is an in house innovation for seamlessly monitoring welding data through wireless communication link. This can be used as a productivity and quality control tool as well as automatic tracking of job as per WPS. In spite of all advancements there are few concerns in a fabrication process which may result into degradation of the weld process or affect the productivity e.g. operator efficiency or capability to weld, ability of the machine to provide precise voltage or current to maintain the quality of the weld, alarm system to indicate if the current and voltages goes beyond pre-set limits which results into weld defects as well as one should be concerned about idle time and ON time of the machine in order to achieve the maximum productivity. By developing this system, welding Industry has got the solution on these above issues. 2) SYNERGIC PULSED TIG – This is an in-house innovation for building in intelligence in TIG Welding applications. The welder needs to set material type, type of welding joint and material thickness as inputs. The software automatically fine tunes the welding parameters to obtain the best possible TIG welding. The conventional method would involve pre-setting of multiple parameters like AC / DC mode, Pulse / No Pulse mode, initial current, slope in time, Pulse Current, Background Current, Pulse frequency, Pulse duty cycle, Slop
out time, crater current etc. All these settings are eliminated in this innovative Equipment.

“We believe in intellectual growth. Our endeavor is to indigenously develop and offer customized products and solutions which are world-class.” - Mr. Nagarjun Sakhamuri, Managing Director, Hind High Vacuum Co. P. Ltd.
he Bangalore – based Hind High Vacuum is undoubtedly the leader in vacuum technology in India and one of the leading global players involved in the design, development and manufacture of off-the-shelf and customized equipment and products in the fields of Vacuum Technology, Solar Photovoltaic Energy and Thin Films Technology. The company started in 1965 by Mr. S.V. Narasaiah, the present Chairman, for making zoom lenses for cameras became a non-starter and eventually commenced manufacturing vacuum systems for defence, atomic energy and space applications; optical coatings for biotechnology products; titanium nitride coatings for heart valves; watch crystals and solar thin films. A vacuum science and technology company to the core, HHV is known as an import substitution company recognized by the Department of Science & Technology as well as Ministry of New & Renewable Energy. HHV operates through its three Divisions viz. Vacuum Furnaces & Special Projects, Thin Film Equipment & Contract Manufacturing, and Optics & Thin Film Coatings.

TIG Welding Equipment for special materials in high purity argon environment needs special mention.
Robotized TIG Welding Equipment Technological advancements in aerospace and other core sectors of India’s development programs warrant welding of critical components made of special materials in a controlled atmosphere. The equipment used in such welding is complex and involves highly sophisticated technology. HHV has been the first in India to design and supply such a critically engineered TIG welding system for joining large components. The welding in this system is done in an argon atmosphere which ensures that there is no oxidation at the joints, a common cause for failure during use. The robotized TIG welding equipment has a specially built large cubical chamber (5m (W) x 7 m (D) x 3 m (H) to house a welding station which can be used by both a 6-axis vacuum/argon compatible robot as well as a human welder. Prior to commencing the welding operation, the chamber is evacuated using multi-stage vacuum pumps and then filled with argon gas of 99.98% purity. Before being let into the chamber, the argon is purified through a series of catalytic towers to bring down the impurity level to a maximum. A chromatograph records the purity of argon gas inside the chamber. The chamber has been designed with special entry and exit load/lock chambers so that the job as well as the human welder can enter and exit without breaking the internal vacuum/ argon environment.
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
The robot inside the main chamber carries out the actual welding. The job is mounted on a 2-axis manipulator so as to ensure that most of the joints to be welded are accessible to the welding robot inside. Outside the welding chamber, a teaching robot station is positioned which is a twin of the one inside. The contaminated argon gas inside the actual welding chamber is pumped and purified to maintain the argon gas purity level continuously. “This system, employing two robots with all controls and safety measures is a technological advancement over the system currently in use in the developed countries,” remarks Mr. Nagarjun Sakhamuri, the Managing Director of HHV, a graduate in mechanical engineering from the Wayne State University, Michigan.
Thin Film Technology For over five decades, HHV has been executing challenging assignments involving thin film techniques to fulfill the needs of every important sector of the nation. Its R & D team has been closely associating with world renowned scientists in optics & thin film coatings to develop advanced optical coatings and equipment in the field. A well equipped lab has been set up for this purpose with product characterization facilities to carry out tests based on MIL standards. It has been equipped with sophisticated thin film coaters with necessary modern accessories and processes.
The Optics & Thin Film Coating Division The Optics & Thin Film Coating Division has earned a reputation for consistent, reliable
product performance. HHV’s successful technology breakthrough in manufacturing high precision optical components is the well equipped optical thin film research lab with a well engineered range of thin film deposition systems with electron beam guns, digital thickness monitors, optical thickness monitors, RF sputtering and spectrophotometers, characterization facilitaeing in a clean room environment, facilitates production of interference filters, beam splitters, mirrors, UV mirror coating and various special coatings as per requirements on glass and metals with proven processes.
Proven Track Record HHV has been designing and manufacturing telescopic mirror coating machines for over a decade. The first one that was made was for the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and has been installed at Hanle, Ladakh region at a height of 4,570 metres to coat a telescope mirror with a size of 2.1 metres in diameter. The second machine was supplied to the Inter-University Consortium for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) and is located at Girawali in Maharashtra. This involved coating of a mirror of 2.2 metres diameter. HHV was subsequently contracted by the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) to build a coater for a new telescope which has since been set up at Nainital, for a mirror of 3.7 metres in diameter and weighing 4.5 tonnes. This was also successfully executed, and with this HHV presented itself globally and was able to get an order from Russia for coating a mirror of 2.55 metres for a telescope located at the Caucasus

tured. Here we can play a pivotal role and meet the demand of the user industry,” states Mr. Sakhamuri.
Facilities and Capabilities During HHV’s early days quality raw materials were not available as it was a niche segment. This put a lot of strain on the company. To address this issue, the company worked very closely with the suppliers to help them understand the requirements and to ensure that they were in a position to meet them. This is one of the major factors that helped in our operational efficiency and success, recounts Mr. Sakhamuri. On the other hand, HHV has been equally focused on manufacturing capabilities and innovation. The company has two sprawling state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities – Unit I in Peenya and Unit II in Dabaspet. HHV is an IMS company. Its facilities are ISO-9001:2008, ISO-14001:2004 and BS OSHAS 18001:2007 certified and its quality standards meet the most stringent quality requirements. “We have been successful with good engineering to support our innovative methods and this has helped
us to reduce our input cost with absolutely no compromise on quality,” he adds. The managing director is proud of HHV’s engineering acumen and human resources. Being in the field of a technology which is not prevalent in the Indian market, the workforce is quite stable. The company motivates its manpower by having them think rather than just look at their work in a monotonous manner. The company has a dedicated team of 350 employees. Out of this 143 are engineers or science graduates and post-graduates. HHV has 16 engineers and scientists in the R & D Center who are constantly working on developing new technologies & products and improving existing ones. It also has access to experts for needed in-depth technology.
Summing Up Mr. Nagarjun Sakhamuri opines that vacuum technology is little known in India even today despite the fact that its applications are universal, touching the lives of everyone in one way or the other. In a growing industrial scenario which is incessantly modernizing to meet the global needs of product quality, vacuum hardware is in constant demand. Manufacture of products in an inert atmosphere to ensure product quality is the order of the day in which the requirement of various types of vacuum equipment will play a vital role. Naturally, being the No.1 vacuum technology company with a domain experience spanning over half a century, HHV will play a dominant role in bringing the benefits of contemporary technology and world-class solutions to the Indian manufacturing sector. – P.K.

SURFACE ENGINEERING
WELD SURFACING
Surfacing minimizes downtime required for replacement of worn-out components, Reduces inventory by reducing the amount of replacements needed, and Saves money. For worn-out components, surfacing can save up to 75 percent of the cost of replacing worn parts.
T
oday’s industry is required to manufacture components with superior properties for longer service life and in an economical manner. The aim is to achieve an improvement in surface properties by altering surface characteristics in a component. Components often fail their intended service not only because of fracture, but because of additional factors such as wear, abrasion and corrosion which cause them to lose dimension and functionality.
The service conditions most commonly experienced by components are: • • • • • •
Abrasion Metal to metal wear Impact Erosion Oxidation Corrosion
Out of the above modes of wear, Abrasion occurs in about 50% of cases. Then impact, metal to metal wear, corrosion and others in decreasing order. Most of the components fail from a combination of modes, such as abrasion and impact. For example, a mining bucket tooth is subjected to abrasion and impact, and depending on the type of material mined, one mode may be more dominant than another. This decides the welding product/s to be used.
a surface to obtain desired properties or dimensions. Welding consumables designed for wearresistant applications are commonly referred to as hardfacing consumables, in spite of the fact that hardness is not always a true measure of wear resistance. It is apparent that surfacing consumables are meant to be used as much in the design of new components as in the reclamation of used and or worn-out components in order to reduce their wear and tear in service.
Based on application requirements surfacing can be classified as: • Hardfacing Overlay • Corrosion Resistant Overlay
HARDFACING OVERLAY Hardfacing is the process of the deposition of thick coatings of hard, wear-resistant materials on a worn-out or a new component surface that is subject to wear in service. Welding and Thermal Spraying are the processes generally used to apply hardfacing layers. Thermal spraying is preferred for applications requiring minimal thermal distortion of the component and good process control. Cermets such as WC-Co and alumina-based ceramics are deposited by thermal spraying. These
Fig. 2 - Hardfacing on Pipe
coatings are applied to a thickness of about 0.3mm and have limited usage. Weld hard facing by conventional welding processes is used to deposit very thick up to 10mm dense layers of wear resistant material with a good metallurgical bond. Most commonly used alloy system for hardfacing is iron based chromium carbide alloy with Cr>17% and C>3%. This type of alloy can resist wear upto 350OC. With various proportion of chromium carbides in combination with refractory metals such as Nb, W, V can achieve high temperature hardness
SURFACING Surfacing involves deposition of filler metal on a base metal to obtain desired properties or dimensions. This broad definition can include processes like electroplating and metal spraying. In metallurgical terms, surfacing is depositing a filler metal on base metal to build up wear resistant or corrosion resistant overlayby welding or spraying. It is composed of one or more stringer or weave beads, on

Matrix hardness : 500-700 VPN Apart from bulk hardness, the volume fraction of carbides, its shape and distribution in a matrix decides wear resistance of an alloy. The bulk hardness requirements for wear resistant applications generally vary from 50 to 68 HRc. For hard facing applications, weld deposits are normally restricted to up to two to three layers. Limited-layer products usually are in the metal carbide families such as chromium carbide, complex alloy carbides and tungsten carbide. For multi layer applications there are austenitic alloys and some martensitic alloys too are used.
life of components made with an otherwise corrosion-prone material. Surfacing for corrosion resistance is recommended for use of one layer only. However, for certain applications of wear areas of pump linings a second layer of surfacing is applied. In this process, weld metal dilution is very important to control and affect ferrite percentage in especially in case of stainless steel overlays.
STRESS RELIEF CRACKS The brittle nature of the metal carbides leads to stress relief cracking, and as multiple layers are applied, stress continues to build which concentrates at the root of the cracks, until separation or spalling occurs between the parent metal and the hardfacing deposit. These are the result of high stresses induced by the contraction of weld metal as it cools. These cracks always occur perpendicular to the bead length (Fig.4).
Fig. 5 - Corrosion resistant overlay cladding
Overlay Patterns: Depending on the type of wear, there are several types of surfacing patterns can be used viz.; stringer, weave, zigzag, dot or a combination of all.
Fig. 4 - Stress relief cracks on hardfacing weld
The cracks propagate through the thickness of the weld bead and stop at the parent metal, as long as it’s not brittle. In the cases where the parent metal is hard or brittle, there is need to apply a buffer layer of a softer, tougher weld metal. The austenitic family is a good choice for a buffer deposit. Many metal carbide alloys show stress relief cracks when cooled to moderate temperatures; this is normal. Alloys from austenitic and martensitic families do not show this phenomenon when applied with proper welding procedures.

Base Metals Carbon and low alloy steels, Stainless steels, Mn steels, Cast irons, Nickel and Copperbase alloys can be hard-faced. For steels with carbon content above 1% a suitable buffer layer is required. For corrosion resistant applications, Carbon and low-alloy steels are most popularly used.

The other special surfacing processes are Plasma transferred arc welding (PTA), Laser cladding, Thermal spraying, and Brazing. With the Oxy-fuel welding (OFW) process too surfacing can be done but this technique is less popular.
Welding Filler Metals Surfacing filler metals can be in the form of bare rods for Gas welding, GTAW, GMAW, SAW process to be used with agglomerated flux, coated electrode for the SMAW process, strips for ESSC and SASC process.

Combating contamination
T
o get the longest working life out of a linear bearing, keep it clean and well lubricated. This common-sense advice may sound easy enough to follow. Yet in the real world of round-the-clock, high-cycle manufacturing operations, bearings do get dirty and dry. And when either of these conditions happens, linear bearings will wear prematurely. In the worst-case scenarios, contamination and inadequate lubrication can create metal-on-metal contact between the bearing’s rolling elements and raceway. This can cause excessive wear in the form of denting, pitting or galling results. This warning about contaminants and the importance of lubrication will not come as news to anyone who has designed or worked around industrial machines. When using linear guides on medical, food, packaging, semiconductor or other sensitive equipment, machine builders often take extraordinary measures to keep the contaminants out and the oil in. They may
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Contamination comes in many forms, some more aggressive than others. Metal chips from machining operations, for example, qualify as one of the biggest offenders from a wear perspective. Silicon dust produced during semiconductor manufacturing can also be tough on linear bearing surfaces. Modern manufacturing processes can throw off a long list of other abrasive, wearinducing contaminants. Less aggressive contaminants can pose problems too. Even soft contaminants—such as those found in food processing—can gum up linear bearings. This kind of debris is not necessarily a wear issue, but it can keep the linear motion systems from functioning smoothly. Consequently this can have a negative impact on positioning accuracy and product quality. If a linear bearing gets gummed up to the point it stops working, then there are also potential maintenance and downtime costs. Keep in mind, too, that contamination is a two-way street. In addition to worrying about contamination from the product interfering with the linear motion system, machine builders also worry about stray lubrication or particulate from the linear bearing contaminating the product. This type of machine-to-product contamination is a cause for concern in contamination-sensitive industries such as medical, semiconductor and electronics. To combat contamination, machine builders will often supplement the linear bearing’s built-in seals with bellows or other types of covers. Though these can substantially add

cost to a machine and add to the maintenance burden, they do have their place. Some cleanroom environments, for example, may require some physical barrier between the product and the machine elements. And inside machining centers, it is crucial to physically protect any motion systems from metal chips. But there are many less severe contamination scenarios. And in these cases, machine builders should consider bearing styles that are less affected by contamination and less prone to generate any of their own. Bearings with large, sealed rolling elements fall into this category. With conventional linear guides, the tiny recirculating balls in a raceway have very little clearance. So even a relatively small pieces of debris can interfere with the balls. Bearings based on larger diameter rollers, by contrast, can roll right over even relatively large contaminants. Rollon’s Compact Rail system, for example, is built around rollers that are from 14 to 50 millimeters in diameter. These linear bearings can roll over all kinds of contaminants that can stop smaller rolling elements dead in their tracks—including metal chips, plastic particulate, paper dust and more.
Rollon’s Compact Rail ball bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed within the rollers, which isolates these small rolling elements from contaminants.
FEBRUARY 2017 | www.engrreview.com
The Compact Rail slider incorporates an integrated wiper (see inset) that automatically satisfies the systems minimal lubrication requirements.
Large rollers are also more damage tolerant than smaller rolling elements. Even if a contaminant does happen to mar the roller or the rail surfaces, the large rolling element can usually keep on running.
Well-oiled machines Lubrication problems are often described in terms of not enough grease or oil. And sometimes that is the case as lubrication leaches out or is squeezed out of linear bearings, leaving them susceptible to metal-on-metal wear. There is a flip side to the lubrication issue too. Maintenance workers, with grease guns in hand, often over-lubricate linear bearings, potentially blowing out seals and introducing oil into environment. And keep in mind that lubrication also qualifies as a contaminant. So over-lubed bearings can also worsen contamination problem or force machine builders to opt for bellows or physical covers. Getting just the right amount of lube into a linear bearing at the right interval can be tricky because it depends on application-specific factors such as the type of bearing and the duty cycle. The application’s sensitivity to oil contamination comes into play too—with sensitive industries demanding lighter lubrication schedules. There are ways to make sure linear bearings stay properly lubricated throughout with little intervention on the part of maintenance workers. On the expensive end of the system are expensive automatic greasing systems. These systems are a legacy of the linear way systems used in the machine tool industry. The auto-greaser was crucial for maintaining the film of oil that separate a linear way’s bearing surfaces. Some of these expensive auto-lubrication systems have made their way into applications that employ more modern linear guides, and they can be a valid way to get the lube levels right while reducing the maintenance burden. But aside
from their cost, auto-greasing systems can introduce unacceptable levels of contaminant into the factory environment—which, again, will create problems is an issue in clean-room and other sensitive manufacturing operations. A lower-cost, cleaner alternative to automated lubrication exists in the form of self-lubricating wipers that integrate into the linear bearing’s carriage. Rollon, for example, has an optional self-lubricating wipers on its Compact Rail system. These provide lubrication for 2 million cycles before they need to be refreshed, and they cost a fraction of what PLC-controlled auto-greasing systems cost. The very idea automatic lubrication is the only way to achieve optimal lubrication is somewhat outdated. Some linear guides, such as those based on recirculating balls, do require regular lubrication in all applications. But bearings based on sealed rolling elements may not need much, or any, external lubrication at all in many applications. With Compact Rail, the roller acts as a true sealed bearing. Its ball bearings, raceway, and their lubricant are contained inside the outside housing of the roller. The need to add lubricant between the roller and the profiled rail thus becomes less important—or even unnecessary in light duty applications. This capability makes a big difference in contamination-sensitive applications industries that would normally resort to expensive bellows or covers to keep stray oil off their shop floors, out of their air and off their products.

Miss M8ty delivers standardised M8-coded and investment-proof fast Ethernet - from the cloud to the smallest sensor systems out in the field. These super-heroines solve challenges and deal with anything that comes their way - and HARTING‘s Miss M8ty is no different: the name comes from M8 D-coded, which HARTING has developed to assist device manufacturers in the current trend for miniaturisation. Sensors, camera systems and switches are just a few of
the components that are being prevented from further miniaturisation - and only because of the limitations of the connection technology. But current developments are addressing not only size but standardisation and digitalisation, too. Even the smallest field components need to be connectable to super-ordinated networks - and speak just a single language: Ethernet. In the past, the problem has been that all Ethernet connectors suitable for IP65/67 environments have been too big, standing in the way of miniaturisation.

Miss M8ty solves this problem: she is the slim and elegant end-to-end Ethernet solution - from the cloud to the smallest sensor. With up to 100Mbits and PoE, the veM8 D-coded provides all consumers with Power and Data via a small interface, doing away with the previous BUS systems.
Process reliability through easy handling: PushPull V4 Industrial The new PushPull V4 Industrial is made of a new housing material that is also resistant to aggressive chemicals, has a locking system and a more flexible cable connection. Along with further innovative features, this provides users with greater process reliability, making it suitable for demanding application environments. PushPull V4 Industrial – for Power, Signal and Data with a modular construction concept. Today’s production processes are increasingly modular. Connectors for linking individual modules now have to handle much higher connection cycles than even just a few years ago. HARTING is meeting these increasing demands on device cabling, and will be introducing the modular PushPull V4 Industrial connector with many new features at this year’s Hannover Messe. The new housing material makes it more resistant - even to aggressive operating resources - and a locking device prevents it being pulled out by mistake. The standardised cable crimp is another new, simpler feature - which now works with a single seal instead of the previous three. Plus the ability to accommodate greater cable widths. Easy and reliable handling combined with robust build mean greater dependability and process
reliability for customers.
Modular configurations need compressed air HARTING has developed a new pneumatic module - the Han® Pneumatic Module Metal - to meet increased demands on interfaces for more flexible construction. Customer benefit: it uses robust, long-lasting metal contacts and can be pushed and pulled at least 10,000 times. The new module gives users the option of compressed air, even in situations where production equipment often has to be reconfigured - for supplying drive and control units, brakes, holding and unloading units, for example. The new interface offers a high maximum operating pressure level: instead of the previous upper limit of 8 bars (Han® Pneumatic module with plastic contacts), contacts can now withstand pressure up to10 bars - permanently. This means that Han® Pneumatic Module Metal now covers the entire low pressure range, extending the possible applications for pluggable compressed air systems. HARTING has used flow simulations to minimise contact pressure loss. Pressure loss in the socket contacts with internal valve is now half that of conventional pneumatic interfaces. This innovation also opens up new combination possibilities for pneumatics in modular connectors for high connection cycles (HMC): electrical contacts for the transfer of Signal and Power can now be combined with contacts for the transfer of light waves and compressed air in HMC connectors for the first time – saving users valuable build space and assembly time. “This innovation enhances the performance
