CEO CORNER Technology Adoption - The key to success India’s manufacturing sector has the potential to touch US$ 1 trillion by 2025. There is potential for the manufacturing sector to account for 25-30 per cent of the country’s GDP. The objective is to ensure sustained growth which will not be feasible unless proper thrust is given to manufacturing sector. The need of the hour is to strengthen and realise the critical role of manufacturing industry to cater to the rising expectations and requirement of end user industries to give required boost to manufacturing sector. Hence technology adoption will play crucial role for manufacturing sector to produce fast & precise products which will be in line with latest industry standards. Manufacturing sector is the key to government’s flagship ‘Make in India’ and ‘Skill India’ initiatives, given that it makes the machines required for the manufacturing sector. There is a positive sentiment in almost all manufacturing segments, with a direction for people to invest and an opportunity for India to become a manufacturing hub. India has made significant progress in various spheres of science and technology over the years and can now take pride in having a strong network of S&T institutions, trained manpower and an innovative knowledge base. Given the rapid pace of globalisation, fast-depleting material resources, increasing competition among nations and the growing need to protect intellectual property, strengthening the knowledge base is an important issue. As India has potential & inherent excellence, there is great scope for Indian manufacturing industry to rise with recent technology transformation, we sure that soon Indian manufacturing industry becomes the superpower on the horizon.

Chicago Pneumatic launches powerful light rig-mounted hydraulic breaker International construction equipment manufacturer Chicago Pneumatic has launched the RX12, a powerful new rig-mounted hydraulic breaker for carriers between 9-15 tonnes. Compared to its predecessor model, the RX12 offers a 10% increase in output power and a 28% increase in impact energy. Ralf Majchrzak, spokesperson for rig-mounted attachments at Chicago Pneumatic commented: “With the RX12 we have further improved our hydraulic breaker portfolio, and are now able to offer our customers a solution for carriers between 9-15 tonnes that delivers both increased power and consistently reliable performance.” With a service weight of 625 kg and a tool diameter of 90 mm, the RX12 delivers a combination

of high reliability and efficient performance; making it ideal for a range of light demolition, landscaping, building renovation and road construction applications. The RX12 features an innovative mono-block design, with the cylinder and tool holder integrated in one piece. This reduces the total number of parts, and eliminates the need for side bolts, to increase overall reliability. The inclusion of a replaceable cylinder sleeve also cuts repair time and costs. The new breaker’s double tool retainer bars ensure optimal working tool guidance, with a onepiece floating wear bush enabling quick and easy field replacement of the working tool. The RX12 has a central lubrication point for manual greasing, but can also be

equipped with an automatic lubrication device called CP-Lube. To lower stress levels for man and machine, the RX12 has a breaker box guidance system that dampens noise and vibration levels. As with all hydraulic breakers in the RX range, the RX12 features gas/oil hybrid technology, an internal control valve, and a Power Booster mode that reuses wasted recoil energy for increased efficiency and performance.

FLIR launches new generation of thermal imaging cameras FLIR Systems recently announced three new Exx-Series advanced thermal imaging cameras for electrical, mechanical, and building applications: the FLIR E75, E85, and E95. The redesigned, Wi-Fi-enabled Exx-Series features intelligent interchangeable lenses, laser-assisted autofocus modes and area measurement functionality, improvements to FLIR’s patented MSX imaging technology, and a larger, more vibrant 4-inch touchscreen. These distinctive features, combined with increased sensitivity and increased native resolution, will help professionals identify hot spots or building deficiencies before poten-

tial problems become expensive repairs. In redesigning the Exx-Series, FLIR developed a new range of compact intelligent, interchangeable lenses that the camera automatically recognizes and calibrates, eliminating the need for manual calibration. The Exx-Series now also features laser distance measurement that assures precise autofocus to improve temperature measurement accuracy, and specifically for the FLIR E85 and E95 models, provides the data for on-screen area measurement in square feet or meters. In addition, the FLIR E85 and E95 models offer increased thermal detector resolu-

tions with up to 464×348 (161,472 pixels), and measure temperatures up to 1,500 degrees Celsius. In conjunction with FLIR Tools™, the FLIR E75, E85, and E95 are the first Exx cameras to offer UltraMax®, FLIR’s embedded, super-resolution process that improves effective resolution by four times – up to 645,888 pixels – and thermal sensitivity by up to 50 percent. All models also feature significant improvement to FLIR’s MSX technology, which now utilizes a 5-megapixel visual camera for improved image clarity and readability. These improvements, combined with a display that is 33 percent brighter and 30 percent larger than previous Exx models, yield more vibrant and detailed thermal imagery.

“Redesigned from the handle up, the new series of Exx cameras is a significant achievement in terms of advanced functionality, performance, and ease of use in thermal cameras for electro-mechanical, plant, and building inspections,” says Andy Teich, President and CEO at FLIR. “With an ever-broadening base of users who demand thermal cameras that are compact, capable and easy to use, the advanced Exx cameras check every box.” For more information Web: www.flir.in

At Interpack 2017, Bosch Packaging Technology presents new developments from its comprehensive portfolio for liquid pharmaceuticals. “We offer solutions and line concepts – from development and production through to filling, inspection, packaging and services, all featuring exceptionally high flexibility regarding products and packaging types,” says Christian Treitel, head of pharma business development at Bosch Packaging Technology. The Bosch subsidiary Pharmatec already supports

customers with suitable equipment during biotechnological drug production. The pilot fermenter on show at Interpack is suited for both laboratory and industrial manufacture of pilot batches for cell cultivation, for instance for the use in cancer medication. Thanks to different mixing technologies, it processes batches between eight and 50 liters. Via scale-up, batch sizes can even be increased to 200 liters. For production-scale filling and closing of liquid pharmaceuticals

Bosch showcases the ALF 5000 vial version for the first time. To date, customers could fill either ampoules or vials and ampoules on one machine. Now the proven platform is also available for vials only. The machine shown at Interpack is equipped with 100% in-process control and a carrying rake transport system, which provides an even gentler handling. The ALF 5000 achieves an output of up to 600 containers per minute and can be combined with different barrier systems – a competence, which Bosch also demonstrates at Interpack. Apart from proven isolator technology and open Restricted Access Barrier Systems (RABS), closed RABS and the newly de-

veloped return air filter for highly potent products now complete the portfolio. In contrast to the commonly used safe change filters, which are situated in the technical area, the new return air filters are integrated into the machine. This saves time and facilitates cleaning, because the highly potent substances are already filtered at point-ofuse. Moreover, the filter exchange is particularly easy and safe: there is no contact between the operator and the contaminated filter medium. Containment and operator safety are also the focus of the downflow booth. Usually, the booth is used for manual weighing and dosing of powders. For more information www.boschpackaging.com

EOS makes Robotics meet additive manufacturing EOS, the global technology and quality leader for high-end Additive Manufacturing (AM) solutions, has announced its support of the Swiss society Devanthro and the Roboy project at the Technical University of Munich. The goal of the Roboy project is to advance humanoid robotics to the capability of human bodies. The vision is to iteratively improve Roboy models until the performance is comparable to humans in dexterity, robustness and flexibility. The first prototype – Roboy Junior – has muscles and tendons rather than motors in the joints. It has been developed under substantial usage of AM: The complete skeletal body structure of Roboy, which encases his bones and muscles, has been built with EOS systems for Plastic Additive Manufacturing. The use of Industrial 3D Printing has several key advantages; among them is the possibility of building complex functional geometries as well as sustaining a fast and iterative

hardware development. Additive Manufacturing allows for highly complex structures which are also extremely light and stable. It provides a high degree of design freedom, optimization and integration of functional features, and the manufacture of small batch sizes at economical unit costs. The Roboy development benefits from all these advantages: Building complex functional geometries without classical fabrication constraints allows the Roboy team to implement functionality directly into the geometrical parts.

Due to Roboy’s maximal mechatronic complexity on a minimal space, it is not possible to validate some project requirements in simulation. Therefore, the development team needs to be able to test the robot itself. AM is key to this because it allows the fast manufacturing of individual components and the modularization and parameterization of the robot’s construction, enabling an iterative hardware development. Rafael Hostettler, Roboy project

leader, comments: “In software development, rapid development cycles allow software improvement by testing it ‘in the wild’. Additive Manufacturing allows us to apply this approach to robotics, enabling a rapid development to find optimal functional parts in a fraction of the time.” He continues: “EOS’ AM technology is a key component for doing this as it enables the iterative hardware development that is crucial for our project.”

Hypertherm introduces new class of plasma with launch of XPR300 Hypertherm, a U.S. based manufacturer of plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems announces its most significant advance in mechanized plasma cutting ever, with the introduction of an entirely new class of plasma called X-Definition. This new plasma is available for the first time in a 300 amp plasma system called the XPR300. X-Definition class plasma combines engineering advances and refined high definition plasma processes to deliver unmatched plasma cut quality on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Laboratory testing shows ISO-9013 Range

MARCH 2017 | www.engrreview.com

2 cut quality on thin mild steel and extended ISO Range 3 cuts on thicker metals. To reach this point Hypertherm engineers had to develop a number of new patent-pending processes like Vented Water Injection™ (VWI), plasma dampening, and Vent-to-Shield technologies. The end result is squarer cut edges, markedly less angularity, and excellent surface finish on non-ferrous metals like aluminum and stainless steel. X-Definition Plasma is available in Hypertherm’s new XPR300. New technology makes it more efficient than any other plasma system. The XPR300 cuts faster and uses

power more efficiently than earlier Hypertherm systems like the HyPerformance HPR260XD. Piercing capability is also improved thanks to increased power and an exclusive argon-assist process which enables 30 percent thicker piercing on mild steel and a 20 percent increase on stainless steel. Additionally, consumable life and cut quality over the life of the consumables get a dramatic boost from advances such as Cool Nozzle and Arc Response Technology. “The arrival of X-Definition Plasma and our new XPR300 is a huge step forward in the capabilities of plasma technology,” said

Phil Parker, product marketing manager for Hypertherm XPR Plasma. “The combination of faster cut speeds, unparalleled cut quality, intuitive features, and automatic system monitoring make it our most advanced and productive plasma yet. It really opens up a wide range of opportunities for companies by providing cut quality and consistency that may make it suitable for applications which have previously been associated with laser, but with the much lower initial investment costs associated with plasma.” For more information www.hypertherm.com

Mastercam at TECMA 2017 CNC Software, Inc., is traveling to Mexico to support Mastercam Reseller Cad Avshmeip, S.A. at the TECMA 2017 Show. Attendees will get to see the most powerful Mastercam machining software yet. Stop by Booth # 642 at Expo Bancomer Santa Fe in Mexico City, Mexico, March 7-10 for a look at Mastercam 2017 which introduces a more efficient workflow, improved usability, Dynamic Motion improvements, and so much more. Mastercam 2017 features a new ribbon interface and makes it easier to find the functions you need to complete your tasks. “Many of our more powerful tools were underused because customers did not know where to find them,” says CNC Software President, Meghan West. “We spent a lot of time with users determining the best way to simplify this, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.” The ribbon tabs group similar functions and displays them in order from simple to

more complex. Each tab relates to a type of activity, from creating wireframe geometry to generating toolpaths. Editing functions are on the same tab as creation functions so you have all the tools you need, when you need them. Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion technology can slash machine time by as much as 75% or more. It maximizes material removal rates, extends tool life, reduces cycle time, saves wear and tear on machines, and cuts hard materials more easily. New to 2017,

micro lifts now use a line-of-sight approach to move the tool where it needs to go through unobstructed areas. This results in reposition moves that are more efficient, less complex, and travel a shorter distance resulting in shorter cycle times. Mastercam 2017 introduces Maximum Stock Engagement for select 3D High Speed Finishing toolpaths, allowing you to limit how deeply the cutter engages uncut material and protect smaller tools from taking too heavy of

a cut. Optimized Raster Motion improves toolpath efficiency by filling in steeper geometry with perpendicular raster motion to create a cleaner result. Mastercam Mill-Turn now supports multi-station tool locators for turrets as well as half index positions and improvements to tool and job setup to improve overall workflow.

SNIPPETS

$123.6

Global demand for material handlling products is forecast to climb 4% annually through 2016 to $123.6 billion

US$ 22.7

The Indian construction equipment industry’s revenues are estimated to reach US$ 22.7 billion by 2020.

The global market for Commercial Vehicles is projected to reach 29.1 million units by2020.

Renishaw , a world leader in precision engineering technologies, has revealed a range of new metrology and additive manufacturing equipment at IMTEX 2017, which is taking place at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre from 26th January to 1st February. The new products were announced in a speech made yesterday at the company’s exhibition stand by Dominic McAllister, the British Deputy High Commissioner, Bengaluru. In his speech, McAllister praised Renishaw’s long term commitment to India. He said: “Renishaw has been trading in India since 1983 and today it employs 350 highly skilled people across the country, including a wholly owned subsidiary here in Bangalore and a large facility in Pune. Many of its employees in India directly contribute to the R&D and manufacture of its exciting measurement and metal 3D printing technologies which are being

MARCH 2017 | www.engrreview.com

demonstrated at IMTEX.” The new products announced by Mr McAllister are designed to meet the requirements of the advanced manufacturing sector in India; from the need to produce parts with increasing complexity and tighter tolerances, to the drive to reduce costs, to increase speed of operation and the requirement to improve the ease-of-use for new technology. In June 2016 Renishaw opened an Additive Manufacturing Solutions Centre at its Pune site, which aims to increase the adoption of metal 3D printing technologies by Indian manufacturers. At IMTEX the company introduced the RenAM 500M additive manufacturing system, which the Deputy High Commissioner said “has been fully designed to be used for serialised production of complex metal components directly from CAD using metal powder fusion technology.”

As demands on component tolerances increase, manufacturers are now required to consider all error sources from the machines producing parts; angular errors as well as linear and straightness errors. Therefore at IMTEX, the Deputy High Commissioner also announced Renishaw’s new XM-60 multi-axis calibrator which is capable of measuring all six degrees of freedom from a single set-up, in any orientation for linear axes. The Deputy High Commissioner also announced the India launch of Renishaw’s new vision measurement probe (RVP) for use with the REVO-2 5-axis measurement system on co-ordinate measuring machines.

• Sequence of Welding and Weld Pass for fabrication of welded composite girders, channel shear connectors shall be welded on top flange plate prior to assembly of I-section. This facilitates correction of any distortion of flange plate developed during the welding of channel shear connectors. • In making a typical I-section four fillet welds are to be made. The welding sequence to be followed is indicated by number 1 to 4 as shown in the Figure below. • Whenever a square butt weld in a 10 or 12mm thick plate is required to be made, the sequence to be adopted is shown in the figure below.

Railway Coaches: • The main components of a coach are bogies, the bogie frame and the coach body. For bogie and bogie frame fabrication the Manual Metal Arc and SAW processes are used as also for welding the sidewalls and roof. Currently coaches are made of Stainless Steel grades that are capable of obtaining high strength and ductility by moderate or severe cold working. • Floor assembly: The floor assembly consists of two end underframe assemblies of high strength low – alloy steel joined by manual and semi-automatic arc welding processes. Floor assemblies are welded by the resistance welding process. • Side assembly: This is completely resistance welded unit with the exception of butt joints between the dead-line panels which are TIG welded. The MIG process used to attach heavy stainless steel ties to members at the

Bridges :

Passenger coaches in particular Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU) coaches, which develop fast acceleration and run at high speeds, demand designs which can be translated to fabrication by welding alone .The bogies of EMU coaches are the primary structures which bear thrashing of high intensity dynamic loading .The welding technology adopted on the bogie frame prevents premature and sudden fatigue and impact loading failure thereby ensuring passenger safety.

• Bridges are subject to dynamic and repetitive live loads with direct exposure to weather. These conditions make bridge design and its construction quite complex. • The welded components of bridges are mainly girders, beams, stiffeners, diaphragms ,floor beams and stringers that are welding primarily by the SAW and the GMAW process. • Indian construction standards viz; Indian Railway Standards (IRS), Indian Road Congress (IRC), Indian Standards (IS) and RDSO are adopted in India while International standards such as British Standards (BS), International Union of Railways (UIC) and Euro and the Manual for Railway Engineering of the American Railway Engineering Association are also being used based on project requirements.

The fabrication of bogies fabrication involves the following welding processes :

The new standard for reliable detection with an extended sensing range can‘t be measured with a conventional yardstick. After all, with sensing ranges from 5 cm to 3.8 m, no object goes undetected by the PowerProx MultiTask photoelectric sensor. To achieve this, SICK has not only packed all the advantages of time-of-ﬂight technology into the smallest housing the world has ever seen, but has also increased detection speed. This means that even objects being transported at high speed, small and ﬂat objects, and jet-black and shiny objects can now be reliably detected over an extensive sensing range. PowerProx combines sensing range, speed, precision, and reliability in a single sensor family. We think that’s intelligent. www.sick.de/powerprox

emppi received the first order for PS 5000 inverter basedMIG/MAG machines from COFMOW, New Delhi, in the year 1986. These machines were supplied to Rail Coach Factory Kapurthala. This was the beginning of a long relationship with Indian railways and it has been chugging along. Indian Railways is the pioneer in embracing new technology. It was the first time Industrial Welding Inverter entered in to the country. In 1993 Kemppi introduced the first Digital Welding Machine to the world. In 1997 the first IGBT inverter based true Digital Controlled Welding machine was put in to operation at Rail Coach Factory Kapurthala and Chittaranjan Locomotive Works. In 1998 ADTRANZ collaborated for the fabrication of underframes of the WAP 5 ABB 3-Phase AC Locomotive. WAP5 is the first High Speed Electric loco introduced by the Indian Railways to pull Rajdhani Express. The underframe of this Loco was built with thinner sections compared to the traditional WAP 4 loco and hence needed Pulsed MIG application for reduced heat input and spatterless welding. Again KEMPPI played a huge role in delivering the desirables and rising to the expectations of Indian Railways. In the year 1999 Indian Railways started manufacturing Stainless Steel coaches with Technology Transfer from LHB Fiat. These coaches are the ones you find today with Shatabdi and Rajdhani rakes. There were extensive use of Ferritic Steel and Austenitic Steel on the Side Walls and the Roof. The welding application was quite demanding. Initially the manufacturers faced problem of cracks on the HAZ and removing spatters was spoiling the

anti-corrosive property of the parent material. Kemppi’s welding Team led by Mr. Jari Kokkailainen did extensive trials and resolved the issue.

Kemppi became a trusted name in Indian Railways for following reasons: • Good Quality • Better Reliability • Latest Technology at par with the Western Countries. • Promised Deliveries. • Good Network of service and spares support across the country It is true that Kemppi are the world leaders in welding inverter technology and have definitely shown the path to Indian Railways to meet the most demanding welding situations and produce defect- free welds. Today one can definitely find a KEMPPI machine in any of the Railway workshop in India. At Kemppi we take pride in our association with Indian Railways and look forward to adding value in every opportunity!! For more information Web: www.kemppi.com

VACUUM TECHNOLOGY

Vacuum Furnaces for Metallurgical Applications W

Author, Nagarjun Sakhamuri, Managing Director, Hind High Vacuum Co. Pvt. Ltd.

ith the constant need in the metallurgical field to develop better materials, both lighter and stronger, application of vacuum technology in the manufacturing process has been of paramount importance. Processes of melting, brazing, welding and casting by first creating vacuum and then backfilling with an inert gas in a chamber has helped produce better materials which have been proved to be stronger, with thinner cross sections, with a long life due to prevention of oxidation and other contaminations. This has brought about various requirements especially in the fields of space, aerospace, atomic energy, defence, medical, lighting, automotive, etc. A typical vacuum furnace for brazing, annealing, heat treatment, etc. is a leak tight vacuum vessel with insulation for retention of temperature within the chamber and heating elements to internally heat within a defined area called the hot zone. For different levels of temperatures, different methods of insulation

and heating elements are provided.

Design challenges The challenges involved in designing of these high temperature, high vacuum, high pressure furnaces is that they have to be leak tight, unlike atmospheric furnaces. Therefore a good metal vessel creation is the big challenge and it is achieved by using high quality stainless steel.Heating is usually done by resistive heating. Depending upon the process, it can also be done by induction. Since it is in vacuum, its operating voltage is low to avoid creation of plasma and arcing. Therefore all vacuum furnaces with resistance heating use low voltage, high current power sources to heat the furnaces. Heating elements are made of nichrome, molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum or graphite. Depending upon the material characteristics, temperatures during hardening vary. Quenching is by gas (high pressure) or by dipping in oil. This requirement is also based upon materials. High pressure gas furnaces can go up to 20 bar. The SS vessels are high strength steel vessels and are constructed using ASME unfired pressure vessel codes. Good welding practices by TIG welding and qualification of welding and using high quality 0-rings like viton with special flanges and rotary locking arrangement are some of the requisites to make a good quality product.

Processes galore Currently there are many processes which are being carried out in vacuum such as brazing, annealing, hardening, tempering, stress relieving, passivation, solution ageing and many more applications, where people use different levels of vacuum, different levels of gas pressure and different mediums to achieve the desired results.

Vacuum Furnaces are built in two different configurations: Rotary brazing furnace

HHV offers Vacuum furnaces for a wide range of industrial and R&D applications.

If a cylindrical job is there then it is vertically mounted. If it is an odd shape or square or rectangle then it is mounted on a horizontal configuration. Depending upon the job profile either horizontal or vertical furnaces are made use of. Sintering is the other application where it has emerged in processing powder metallurgical components and also to process high temperature ceramics like high alumina, zirconium, beryllium and other refractory materials. Sintering constitutes preparation of powder; compaction with a starting mass and then this is fired to sintering temperatures starting from 1000 deg. C to 2000 deg. C to get the required components. Rotary brazing furnaces were evolved for double walled inverted nozzles having a circular configuration which need to be brought together for circulation of a fluid within a set path requiring to be brazed. In a static condition it becomes very difficult to provide a uniform braze along the path of the fluid. To overcome this, a rotary motion of the components during the brazing cycle is the answer. During circular motion, the flow of the braze material is uniform and provides the much needed seal to eliminate any short cuts in the path of the flow. HHV has been making induction melting and casting furnaces for the aerospace industries. These are predominantly harnessed for casting of turbine blades using super alloy materials to provide thin cross sections and good resilient strength.

HHVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s niche HHV has been in this business for last four decades and have built all varieties of furnaces in the past. Major installation which have been done by HHV are rotary brazing furnace in department of space, vacuum indication melting and casting furnaces to HAL Koraput and vacuum brazing annealing and hardening furnaces in HAL , DMRL, Department of Space, Atomic Energy and many other industries as well. HHV is a leading manufacturer of all of kinds of vacuum furnaces and its strength is to design and build with recipe embedded within the furnaces for customer applications.

Unique separator system from igus revolutionizes

E-CHAIN HARNESSING Enterprises can save 80 percent time with an energy chain that can be harnessed faster than any other energy chain in the world These captive crossbars, which can be opened with a screwdriver, can be pivoted open to 115 degrees and latched into their final position. If necessary, they can even be removed completely, fitted again and closed by just pressing down. The rounded edges of the crossbars and separators of the chain also ensure a long service life of hoses and cables. In addition, notches and a positioning scale enable optimum separation of the energy chain.

Everything from one source

After the E4.1L has been opened, cables and shelves can be inserted into the e-chain quickly and easily. In this way, the customer can separate the interior of the e-chain in a way that is optimal for their moving application. (Source: igus GmbH)

ast harnessing saves time and money. But this is only of benefit if the energy chain to be harnessed has been optimised to this end. The E4.1L from motion plastics specialist igus is the lightest cable-carrying e-chain on the market. Thanks to the new type of separator system, which igus will be showing to visitors at Hannover Messe 2017, individual division of the energy chain’s interior is even easier for the customer.

Outstanding flexibility Easy to open and fill from all sides as needed: the E4.1L offers outstanding flexibility for harnessing. This is made possible by the unique design principles of the e-chain. “The easy accessibility of the complete interior from both sides, the innovative separation system with

new separators and one of the fastest opening mechanisms – these are the characteristics that make the E4.1L the e-chain that can be filled the fastest”, said Michael Blass, Vice President e-chains at igus. The advantage: With this energy chain, customers can reduce the installation time by up to 80 percent”

Combination of separators and openable crossbars for faster filling At its stand in Hall 17 at Hannover Messe 2017, igus will be showing a new innovative separator system for the E4.1L. This means that it is now very easy to insert shelves on several levels for interior separation according as needed. In addition, the opening mechanism of the crossbars along the inner and outer radii guarantees fast filling with cables and hoses.

In addition to special harnessing, the user can take advantage of igus’ 20 years of experience in this area. igus offers harnessed systems from a single source, whether they be simple or complex, from planning and design of the energy chain systems through to individual harnessing and on-site installation. readychain from igus is the ideal combination of energy chain and matching cables for moving applications - and all this from a single source, whose services range from planning and design of the energy chain systems to individual harnessing with cables and on-site installation. All moving components were developed, tested and optimised to work with each other in igus’ own test laboratory. With these readychains, customers receive a complete and reliable pre-harnessed system direct from the manufacturer, including a guarantee. At the same time, the number of suppliers and orders can be reduced by up to 75 percent, while storage and process costs are avoided.

The languages of

AUTOMATION

User friendliness is the key to acceptance of automation solutions. But the challenge of making operation clear & simple grows, the more sophisticated the automation tasks become. In terms of engineering, it’s not just the hardware but the software implementation that’s particularly important – & if possible this should be in the user’s native language. Users aren’t the only people to benefit: design engineers can also reduce their effort significantly.

ntil now, automation solutions have often been characterised by independent, standalone functions: safety technology, control technology, visualisation technology and motion control systems are independent systems. The large number of systems and architectures adds complexity to the plant control. And the larger the automation project and the more extensive the requirements, the more complex it will be for the user to handle. In today’s centrally configured programmable logic controllers (PLC), changes in individual plant sections have far-reaching consequences at control level, because program structures at central points in the control system have to be modified. In terms of flexibility, re-usability and user-friendliness, classic automation architectures with centralised PLC controllers can no longer meet future requirements. That’s why the automation of the future demands solutions that can distribute control intelligence but also guarantee that the necessary networking of multiple control systems remains easy for the user to handle. Centralised view of a distributed system That’s why Pilz developed the automation system PSS 4000. Whereas in classic automation a standalone, centralised control system monitors the plant or machine and processes all the signals, the PSS 4000 allows control functions to be distributed consistently. In detail, the automation system PSS 4000 consists of hardware and

MARCH 2017 | www.engrreview.com

software components as well as the real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p and various programming editors designed for use in different sectors, with their application-oriented function blocks. The hardware includes control systems of various performance classes. Process or control data, failsafe data and diagnostic information are exchanged and synchronised via Ethernet. For the control function, therefore, it makes no difference where the respective program section is processed. Instead of a centralised control system, the user has a program distributed in runtime within a centralised project. All network subscribers are configured, programmed and diagnosed via this software. This enables simple, standardised handling across the whole project.

Transferring functions to the software The transfer of functions to the software brings

users flexibility and scalability, reduces the variety of hardware types and simplifies maintenance and diagnostics on automation solutions. The question as to whether software can be used efficiently depends essentially on the user interface and the available languages – both in terms of human language and programming language. PSS 4000 meets these challenges with the software platform PAS4000. Various editors and blocks are provided, which can be used for automation as well as safety-related tasks. In PAS4000, the tools for configuration, programming, commissioning and operation are closely compatible. The ability of users to use their normal native language is important in terms of acceptance. As a result, the PAS Editors in the automation system PSS 4000 are not only available in English and German but also in Italian, Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese and Portuguese, therefore providing a total of 8 different languages. The diversity of language is not just limited to the menu language but incorporates the whole of the help menu and installation support, as well as the whole System Description and Safety Manual. The diversity of language in PAS4000 extends not only to human language but also to programming: that’s because there is a preference for individual programming languages, based on the application area, country or region.

TECH TRENDS 101

One of the editors available to users in PAS4000 is the simple, block-based Program Editor PASmulti. PAS4000 also provides established editors for programming. These include editors for PLC programming (in accordance with EN/IEC 61131-3) for Instruction List (PAS IL) and Structured Text (PAS STL), as well as the new editor for Ladder Diagram (PAS LD). This can be used to create safety-related programs, programs for automation tasks or a combination of the two. PAS4000 also provides the individual editors with a comprehensive library of precertified software blocks for position detection or general functions such as emergency stop, for example, to which users can add their own software blocks.

Different countries, different languages The individual editors are used to varying degrees, depending on the country or region. While Instruction List or Structured Text is frequently used for programming in Europe, Structured Text is usually favoured in Australia. Programmers in USA and Japan, for example, prefer to use Ladder Diagram. Within the Pilz automation system the new Editor PAS LD can be freely combined with the other EN/IEC 61131-3 PLC programming languages, so that even complex automation tasks can be handled simply and consistently. All PAS Editors and programming languages have been classified as an LVL language (Limited Variability Language) by TÜV Süd, enabling users to resolve not only automation tasks but also safety-related tasks, without functional restrictions. So for the first time, machine builders can create safety-related application programs using their usual development process. The programming environment of the graphics Program Editor is identical to that of editors designed

in accordance with EN/IEC 611313, enabling simple operation. For example, customised software blocks written by users in PAS LD for safety-related and non-safety-related functions can be transferred to PASmulti without further ado. As a result, complex projects containing software components from various editors can be clearly structured.

PSS 4000: truly cosmopolitan The increasing challenges faced by automation can be met using systems that can distribute intelligence but at the same time are user-friendly to control. As a result, the cost of engineering, commissioning and maintenance can be significantly reduced. The

system’s openness and the wide range of languages make it easier to use in automation projects around the world. If local users can configure their machine in their native language and in their familiar programming environment, it simplifies the learning process and tool handling enormously, as well as increasing acceptance. For machine builders it brings the additional benefit of using one hardware structure, and a software program that needs generating once only, to create automation solutions that can be used anywhere in the world.

Open for all protocols In addition to the interfaces for man-machine communication, data exchange within the automation project also has an important role to play. The same applies: The more complex and extensive the project, the more important it is to have a standardised language. PSS 4000 also supports the diversity of language from a technical perspective: the control systems PSSuniversal PLC in the automation system PSS 4000 support the various communication protocols used depending on country and region, for example, the Profibus protocol, which is particularly widespread in Europe; Ethernet/ IP, which is frequently used in the USA and Asia, as well as EtherCAT, CANopen and Modbus TCP. As a result, there is no problem exchanging data with the widest range of third-party control systems – irrespective of the country, region, sector or machine type. www.engrreview.com | MARCH 2017

ZIRKOR oxygen analyzers from SICK provide reliable measurement results Versions • ZIRKOR100 for smaller plants • ZIRKOR200 for large combustion plants • ZIRKOR302 for adjustment without test gas

MARCH 2017 | www.engrreview.com

The new oxygen analyzers in the ZIRKOR series are extremely rugged and combine high quality with innovative performance

eliable oxygen measurement is just as important for controlling an optimized combustion process as it is for emissions monitoring. In one of the toughest applications of industrial process automation, the analyzer must be easy to integrate and extremely resistant. Optimal combustion, however, relies on perfect dosing. Too little oxygen will result in incomplete combustion and, therefore, increased CO emissions. Too much oxygen, on the other hand, leads to very high heat loss via the exhaust gas. The ZIRKOR series provides an oxygen reference value for emission measurement in order to ensure reliable measurement results. There are three versions available: ZIRKOR100 for smaller plants, ZIRKOR200 for large combustion plants, and ZIRKOR302 for adjustment without test gas. The precise devices for combustion optimization are easy to operate and completely reliable. They take measurements directly after combustion so the oxygen value can be perfectly adapted to the fuel. Tough perfor-

mance and easy to operate The ZIRKOR100 is extremely rugged thanks to its innovative cell technology. The integrated cell diagnosis function keeps maintenance work to a minimum and all important information can be accessed via ZIRKOR Remote. The ZIRKOR200 is a high-tech analyzer with simple connection options. It can work in ambient temperatures of up to 1,600 °C without any problems and calibrates itself automatically. Thanks to its variable probe lengths and a higher number of interfaces, it can be installed in all kinds of plants and applications. The model that works in temperatures of up to 600 °C is also certified in accordance with EN 15267. The main difference between ZIRKOR302 and the other two analyzers is its automated calibration using the ambient air. The tried-andtested flow sensor principle does not require any test gases for this calibration and ensures a continuous, exceptionally precise measurement even at high temperatures. The analyzer is available with an optional integrated measuring gas pump or an ejector powered by compressed air.

Guidelines for SECURING MILK TANKERS to prevent theft & adulteration in transit To ensure security of milk on milk tanker trucks, reliable tamper resistant security seals must be used on all access point to the milk

T Mr. Rajesh Kumar Banka , Managing Director, Safcon Seals Pvt. Ltd.

In all developed countries, most milk dairies now have “tanker security seal” policies in effect to reduce the risk of deliberate contamination of milk MARCH 2017 | www.engrreview.com

he Food Processing and Retailing industry is increasingly demanding that their raw materials be of the highest quality and free from any contamination. In the past the Dairy industry’s reputation and verbal assertion on their level of commitment was sufficient to maintain customer’s trust. However, today’s customers want more assurance. Hence, to ensure quality, it is essentially required proper security to milk tankers that carry milk between Farms and Processing Units to prevent pilferage, theft, and adulteration and to protect revenue. It is now essential that Dairy Farms to begin a process of increasing awareness of potential security risks while milk is in transit and to introduce methods to reduce the risk. In addition to theft it is very important protect the milk from contamination. The security sealing programme must be framed for maximum protection and should be reviewed periodically and improved continuously as new potential risks are identified.

The importance of tamper resistant security seals To ensure security of milk on milk tanker trucks, reliable tamper resistant security seals must be used on all access point to the milk and/or milk contact surface within the tanker truck i.e. manholes, pump/valve compartment. There are variety of plastic and metal seals are available but I highly recommend

use of tamper resistant all metal high security seals milk tanker trucks for maximum protection and plastic tamper evident security seals for milk containers. In all developed countries, most milk dairies now have “tanker security seal” policies in effect to reduce the risk of deliberate contamination of milk. In general, the procedures outlined in these policies require that after washing and sanitizing, tanker openings are to be sealed with an identifiable, serial numbered seal and that security seal numbers be recorded and traced to prevent the tanker and its contents from being tampered with. The security seal numbers are usually recorded on the milk weight document, wash tag or both. Whenever security seals are broken for legitimate purposes such as making farm pickups or obtaining tanker load samples, broken seals are kept and replacement seal numbers are properly recorded. Most policies require an extensive investigation when a load of milk is delivered with missing, broken or improperly recorded seals. Every milk dairy should follow milk tanker sealing guidelines to ensure dairy products are protected and prevent safe milk from being unnecessarily contaminated. These voluntary guidelines are provided as general advice. Individual companies may choose to modify these guidelines to increase their level of security according to their specific needs and circumstances.

SAFCON METAL MILK TANKER SECURITY SEALS

Universally followed procedures The following procedures are universally followed in developed countries and are essentially designed to reduce the risk of deliberate contamination of raw milk during the various steps taken in the collection and delivery of raw milk to the processing plant. The ultimate goal is to have all openings on milk tankers sealed at all times, except when the tanker is being loaded, unloaded, washed or is in the immediate control of the driver. Seals should be numbered and recorded to provide a chain of custody for each delivery of milk.

•

A comprehensive checklist • The following checklist must be followed: • After a milk tanker is unloaded and washed, the washing station/plant seals all potential points of access to the interior of the tank with an appropriate sealing device such as a plastic security seal or wire security seal. Each seal should have Security ID and an identification serial number for accountability. Access points that require sealing include inlet/outlet valves, manhole cover, vent tube, CIP connections, and any other point that allows one to access the inside of the tank. • After washing of the tanker and installation of security seals, each security seal is inspected and its serial number is recorded in a document as the “seal record.” If wash tags are used as the seal record, they should be printed with unique identifiers (com-

pany logo, plant I.D. number, etc.). Wash tags should be accounted for and kept in a secure place by receiving personnel as required by the Project Management Office (PMO). When the driver is preparing to leave on his collection route, he checks to verify that the serial numbers on the seals correspond to the numbers that were entered in the seal record. If the numbers match, the driver puts his initials on the seal record. If at any time the driver finds that a seal has been broken without his knowledge or that a seal is missing, he should immediately notify the plant or cooperative. When the tanker arrives at the first farm pickup, the Loading Supervisor checks all seals to be sure that none are broken. Then he breaks and removes the seals on the rear door and the outlet valve. The numbers on the broken seals are recorded. Never leave the tanker unlocked/unattended. At every firm pick-up the Loading Supervisor seals the inlet/outlet valve, the rear door, or any other point of access that has been opened. The seal numbers are recorded in the seal record. When the tanker arrives at the receiving plant, authorized receiving personnel compares the numbers on all seals to the numbers in the seal record. It is highly recommended that the receiving plant maintain a seal verification log. If the seal numbers match, the milk is unloaded. If any seals do not correspond to the seal verifi-

cation entries, or if any seal is inexplicably broken, the receiving plant does not unload the milk until a further investigation reveals the cause. If a tanker delivers milk to a receiving plant more than once a day and is not washed until the last load is delivered, the procedure outlined above is utilized each time the tanker exits the plant. At the end of the day, after the plant has unloaded and washed the tanker, those points of access listed above are sealed, with the seal numbers entered on the seal record. The cycle for the tanker begins again the following day or the next A tanker security seal is only one tool that can be used to protect your truck and its contents from vandalism. Always be sure to take reasonable measures to ensure the equipment is secured when it is left unattended. Frequent re-evaluation of the procedures must be done to keep them current with the daily activities.

and visualisation tool. We manufacture a large number of custom parts and 3D printing allows us to make full size prototypes in-house before we commit to a design.” The 3D printer sits in the Land Rover BAR design office, and with little more than the click of a mouse will create a plastic version of almost anything the designers plan to create. “The prototyping process is really useful when we are trying to develop something,” said Land Rover BAR’s Chief Technology Officer, Andy Claughton. “It allows us to get our hands on it, put it in place on the boat or link it up with other parts of the system and see potential issues and refine the design before we commit to the production of the final piece.”

Reduced costs The team has its own, fully equipped traditional machine shop, and it has an extensive composites team. Between them, these facilities can make almost anything, but if the final part can be 3D printed then that’s the option that will be used. One of the big advantages in the system is that the cost can be significantly reduced. An example is the end cap for the boat’s bowsprit. This is a complex shape, designed to reduce the aerodynamic drag. It was ideal for 3D printing in plastic because there was no load involved, and a single item was required. In years gone by this would have been built

in carbon fibre to the finish and standard of a piece of custom furniture, and at great expense thanks to the time and skill of those involved. Now, once the design has been developed it can be produced in a handful of hours for a few pounds. “But the top level of our 3D printing programme is the metal additive manufacturing supplied by Renishaw,” continued Sykes. “The manufacture of custom parts in metal is the cutting edge of this technology.” The components are manufactured from paper thin layers (typically 0.05 mm) of fine metallic powder (cornflour consistency). The system works in an argon inert atmosphere – similar to that inside a light bulb; heat can be applied to melt the metal powder without it burning; or reacting with oxygen or impurities found in air. The heat is applied using a laser beam – this is directed using software controlled mirrors, and focused to accurately weld the areas required to create the part.

Unmatched flexibility One of the earliest components the Land Rover BAR team created using this technology was a custom sheave case for the pulley in the daggerboard lift line. There was a high compressive load involved and it needed good resistance to wear; so metal was the ideal choice. All high strength metals have a higher density (weight per volume) than carbon fibre, so to keep weight down the final design was hollow. It would have been very difficult to make this part any other way than additive manufacturing. “The potential of additive manufacturing in terms of saving weight and improving efficiency is tremendous,” explained Andy Claughton. “For example, we took a long hard look at our hydraulics system. Before 3D printing came along all the parts in this system would have been manufactured by taking metal away from a solid

block. The shapes that you can create with this method are limited, so the design is limited and so too is the efficiency. “Hydraulic fluid doesn’t take kindly to going around hard corners for instance, and there is a loss of power when it has to do so. With traditional techniques this might be the only way you can manufacture the part, but with additive manufacturing you can build it with smooth rounded corners that significantly improves efficiency in the fluid transfers involved. “In addition to the improvements in efficiency, we can now build it much more lightly as we are only adding material specifically where it is needed. In the past, the geometry of manufacture on a lathe or other cutting tool meant that some material couldn’t be removed and we would have to carry around the excess weight. No longer.” Renishaw has manufactured several parts for the hydraulics, and while the team are reluctant to reveal too much design detail, it has said that weight in a new AM manifold design was reduced by 60%, with an increase in performance efficiency of better than 20%. David Ewing, Product Marketing Engineer at Renishaw’s Additive Manufacturing Products Division, commented, “Our involvement with Land Rover BAR is also helping to raise the bar in additive manufacturing. It’s a complex manufacturing option and there are considerations both in component design and process expertise. The best applications are ones which use the minimum amount of material to achieve the design requirements, offer a functional benefit in service and have been designed with the manufacturing method in mind. Our work on hydraulic parts for the team is a perfect example.” “Renishaw is at the top of this particular game and they have really helped us out with their facilities. This is one technology that’s here to stay and its role within our build processes will only increase in the future,” concluded Andy Claughton.

Automate your power distribution with Elmeasure’s Intelligent ACCL!! Frequent power failure in a day is exhausting due to repeated manual switching of the DG Set. This over usage causes wear and tear and leads to switch failure in the expensive equipment. Elmeasure’s Intelligent Automatic source Change over with Current Limiter (iACCL) gives freedom from such maintenance problems. Built with high precision microcontroller that offers automatic changeover between main supply and generator supply, iACCL replaces dedicated manpower and also grants protection against overload/over voltage from the DG Set. iACCL allows supply from mains as long as the load current is below the programmed current. When the mains supply fails and stand by generator supply is on, it connects the DG power to each consumer in sequence & starts monitoring its load. Whenever the load current exceeds the allotment, power is automatically switched off for 10 seconds, and automatically restored. This cycle repeats for 5 times each time with double the time (20, 40, 80 & 160) and then enters into lockout mode until it

is ‘Reset’ manually. This helps to protect against over voltage from DG. Its current limiting capabilities are ideally suited to the efficient utilization of the standby generators frequently used in multi-storied apartments, commercial complexes, etc.

Miniaturised solution for rapid placement of connections Automated processing of components is steadily increasing. HARTING is keeping up with this trend with the M12 SMT, which can be seated on the circuit board using pick & place – automated and fast. The automated assembly of printed circuit boards is expanding to include ever more components. While formerly limited to just a few parts, today virtually all the components of a circuit board can be loaded using pick & place. These are then all heated in a soldering furnace and soldered. This eliminates the need for separate wave soldering and consequently saves costs. HARTING is keeping up with this trend with the M12 SMT, which will be available in codes A, D and X in male and female versions. This move will

bring both power and Ethernet up to 10 Gbit/s to the PCB from new miniaturised switches. The distinct advantages of this are the automated, rapid and more cost-effective placement of the connection, since dispensing with through-hole contacts means it can now also be equipped on both sides. The result is a miniaturised solution that is faster and less expensive to produce.

stock is advancing globally and becoming increasingly complex. More and more systems are housed in the locomotives and carriages, and they need to be wired. Data volumes are rising as a result of in-house technology, not to mention information systems and entertainment media for travellers. HARTING is meeting these requirements, and the company is presenting the new versions of the M12 PushPull. Until now, the M12 PushPull has been offered in a straight version with A, D and X coding, with only the male versions available on the market. HARTING has now rounded out this special connector solution

with new housing shapes and female versions. In keeping with these additions, there will also be a device-side flange socket. Like all new HARTING M12 flange sockets, it is suitable for the M12 PushPull but is also reverse compatible with the tried and true screw locking. In order to alleviate the tight conditions aboard trains where space is at a premium, all M12 PushPull codings are available in an angled housing form. Side cable exit permits the distance of the housing door to the switch or switches to be reduced. Any space savings achievable on board rail vehicles are significant.
