Castrol reinvents cutting fluids Castrol, the leading global lubricants manufacturer, has reinvented cutting fluids with the launch of Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB. Created to support the manufacturing of metal components, Castrol’s pioneering cutting fluid technology maintains constant pH levels (9-9.5) and stable conditions for longer than other standard cutting fluids. This reduces the need to add expensive treatment additives and biocides, as well as safeguarding against costly uncontrolled system changes. Castrol’s Alusol XBB products do not rely on the use of boron or formaldehyde releasing agents or additional biocide and fungicide additive packs, but are still able to meet and exceed the lifetime expectations of the benchmark technology to date. In many cases, customers have been able to significantly reduce or completely eliminate the use of biocides from their management processes. Cutting fluids perform an essential role in the manufacturing of many types of metal components. One of the main drawbacks of the traditional technology is that, over time, the fluid can suffer from bacterial growth and contamination resulting in the fluid ‘going off’. This leads to pH depletion, unpleasant odours,
unstable emulsion and poor performance. From a breakthrough achieved by Castrol’s liquid engineering, these new Alusol XBB products redefine the properties of cutting fluids – they are resistant to acid attack from bacteria, proven to maintain pH at a constant level and are therefore inherently more resistant to bacterial growth. Pawan Sabharwal, Vice President – Industrial & Heavy Duty, Castrol India said, “Our liquid engineers have reinvented the fundamentals of cutting fluid technology. By having greater control of the pH, the reliance upon short-lived biocides to control bacteria is significantly reduced or eliminated. This ultimately translates into significant improvements for controlling manufacturing costs, increasing productivity, protecting the quality of end products and meeting HSSE requirements.” As the lifetime of the cutting fluid is increased, costs associated with disposal of spent fluid are reduced and system stability minimises the requirement for costly maintenance regimes. Even at low concentrations, Castrol Alusol XBB products maintain machining performance and can help to protect against corrosion and staining. The excellent
lubricating properties help prevent swarf build up, assuring high quality surface finish and low scrappage rates. Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB improves precision performance in aluminium machining. It neutralises up to 33% more acidic material than standard aluminium cutting fluids* and reduces overall fluid top-up volumes by up to 30%** while ensuring maximum cutting precision. These products re-optimise the fluid in use and significantly reduce or can eliminate the need for biocide additives. Castrol’s new cutting fluid technology also underpins products that positively impact an organisation’s HSE profile by significantly improving the factory environment and working conditions. By maintaining system stability, the unpleasant odours produced by an emulsion that is suffering from a large population of bacteria are minimised and the reduced need for testing pH levels reduces potential skin complaints for workers. Furthermore, the reduced need for biocide additives minimises the need for workers to handle dangerous chemicals.

Boston Consulting Report The significance of this patent is better understood in the context of the current global, industrial-robotic space accurately described in the Boston Consulting Group’s noteworthy report titled: “The Robotic Revolution –the Next Great Leap of Manufacturing.” Excerpts: “The real robotics revolution is ready to begin. Many industries are reaching an inflection point at which, for the first time, an attractive return on investment is possible by replacing manual labor with machines on a wider scale. In some industries, robots will do more than 40 per cent of the manufacturing tasks. This development will power positive gains in productivity in many industries around the world and catalyze defined shifts in competitiveness among manufacturing economies that have already reaped significant benefits. “A confluence of forces will power the ‘robotics takeoff’. For one, the prices of hardware and their enabling software are projected to drop by more than 20 percent over the next decade. At the same time, the performance of robotics systems will improve by around 5 percent each year. As robots become more affordable and easier to program, a greater number of small manufacturers will be able to deploy them and integrate them into industrial supply chains. “Advances in vision sensors, gripping

Konecranes introduces new mobile crane Konecranes has mounted its popular CXT electric overhead travelling crane on a steel frame & two standard ISO shipping containers to create a powerful, adaptable, fully mobile industrial crane, the CXT Explorer. “This is an outstanding opportunity for our customers to improve their lifting operations efficiency and safety on the field. This new product category brings the quality and safety of lifting from the factory building to remote site conditions” says Olli Kuismanen, General Manager, Konecranes Business Factory. The CXT Explorer is a standard industrial crane that can be taken almost anywhere. The punchline is its patented design: it can be assembled, ready to lift, in just a few hours. With a lifting height of 5 meters and a span of 5 meters, there is plenty of room for most field lifting needs. Yet its compact size allows easy travel. On leaving, the crane can be dismantled quickly, and the shipping containers that form its base double as storage for the crane components, service tools, equipment, and spare parts. Sometimes an industrial crane is needed in a location for only a short period of time. A typical short-term
The metal seated VariASBlocks are especially suitable for use under extreme conditions.
use is vehicle maintenance in a location where a fixed overhead crane would be too expensive, take too long to install, and require a major redesign of the work space around it. In some cases, such a crane could not be installed at all, as it is needed where there is no power, or even no building. In prolonged use the crane represents a cost efficient investment. To make an industrial crane mobile, the Konecranes CXT crane was refitted to a new structure. But the CXT Explorer is more compact and flexible: all the user needs is enough space for two ISO shipping containers, room to access them, and a full maintenance workshop, assembly station or logistics hub becomes available. Safety, reliability and productivity are at the core of every Konecranes crane, and the CXT Explorer is no exception. Because the strong and wide container base provides full support, and operation is from the ground, it’s more stable than a standard mobile crane.

Portescap expands Athlonix range of motors Portescap has expanded the newly launched DCT range of Athlonix Brush DC motors with the introduction of the 17DCT brush dc mini motor. The 17DCT motor features Portescap’s proven energy efficient coreless design with an optimized self-supporting coil and magnetic circuit which enables higher performance in a compact 17 mm diameter size. With high torque carrying capabilities reaching up to 6.14 mNm, the 17DCT provides outstanding performance with efficiency reaching up to 85% while providing a long lifetime. Due to the inherent design of the 17DCT motor, it can deliver higher torque per ampere resulting in better battery life. This makes it ideal for demanding applications such as medical and industrial pumps, drug delivery systems, miniature industrial power tools, tattoo machines, mesotherapy guns, dental tools, watch winders and more. Athlonix 17DCT miniature dc motors are available in 2 variations, precious metal
commutation and graphite commutation with a neodymium magnet inside. The unique constant force spring design for carbon brush provides consistent performance. An REE (Restriction of Electro Erosion) coil is an available option, which prolongs the life of the motor and provides an environment of intrinsic safety especially at high speed conditions. “Athlonix motors are powered by a proprietary self-supporting coil resulting in maximized magnetic flux and ampere-turns for a given diameter” says Sunil Kumar, Brush DC Product Line Manager at Portescap. “In contrast, typical self-supporting coils have inherent ampere-turns limitations that affect the magnetic flux density in the magnetic circuit, which fur-
ther limits power output and endurance of the motor”. Component standardization and design modularity allow quick customization capability for samples across various applications. “Due to a lower motor regulation factor compared to comparable motors available in the market, our new 17DCT has a higher load carrying capacity at minimum reduction in speed leading to more uniform power” says Sunil Kumar.

World’s first portable stroboscope The hand-held stroboscope, which is exceptionally bright thanks to its 118 high-power LEDs, has an outstanding technical highlight, for which RHEINTACHO has applied for a patent. This is the auto-sync laser function. By means of a far-reaching transmission/reception system based on lasers, the flash rate of the stroboscope is synchronised automatically. The system operates to a distance of up to 3 metres, depending on ambient conditions. A laser beam sent from the stroboscope is reflected by a reflective tape back to the recipient cell on the front side of the stroboscope. As a result, the control of the stroboscope calculates the rotation rate of the object, feeds in the flash frequency of the stroboscope and outputs it again as a precisely measured value. Through this integrated optical tachometer/stroboscope, this value is absolutely precise and reliable in
terms of process. Fluctuating rotational speeds are not a problem. Through the instantaneous control of the flash rate, the user always has the benefit of redundant detection. This innovative and patent-pending function is a real highlight at both trade fairs as well as
demonstrations: once a speed disc moving at high speed is instantaneously “frozen” with the auto-sync laser function, the presenter is sure to receive a great deal of attention. No tedious, manual adjustment, no installation of any trigger sensors required, and the measured value is instantly displayed. The uniqueness of the auto-sync laser function is based on the integration of the laser unit in the stroboscope. For applications in which the reflex tape cannot be attached directly to the object under observation, an observation function (auto-save) has also been added. Thereby, similar to the focus lock on a photo camera, the speed at a position of the system which rotates with a similar to equal speed can be taken down, and this frequency can then be used for further observation on the position of the system which is actually to be tested.

themselves autonomously. In the Industry 4.0 environment, SICK sensor technology will enable customers to capture their real-life scenarios in data format and then use this data in specific ways for their applications. In order to process unprecedented volumes of data, sensors will need to become more reliable and powerful, and above all more intelligent. Yet with data too, quality counts over quantity. The more compact
and meaningful the supplied data is, the more efficiently resources can be used, and the more accurate analyses will be. Intelligent sensors that preprocess, compress, and filter data directly in the sensor will perfect processes for Industry 4.0. An automated production process needs sensors that communicate not just at controller level but also at the higher data level. The additional interface to the data or software system enables new analyses and functions to be performed there. These increase flexibility, quality, efficiency, and transparency in production, effecting a radical change to the industrial pyramid. As a result, the sensor has to transmit the recorded data first in parallel and independently to both outputs.
Backward compatibility means that SICK sensors can already do both: They send data reliably to the PLC, but also to the data world. Where the customer benefits is that this proven technology can continue to be used going forward, but it is still possible to take advantage of the additional benefits on a gradual basis. Looking further into the future of Industry 4.0, sensors will even play a disruptive role: As soon as data systems are powerful enough, they will control the machines directly and exclusively via the data level.

Mastercam 2017 Mill brings speed & Automation Mastercam 2017 Mill offers expanded machining flexibility and an increased emphasis on speed and automation. 2D High Speed Toolpaths, 3D enhancements, and Multiaxis features combine with dozens of additional new enhancements in a package intended to improve shop floor productivity. In an effort to streamline and simplify workflow, Mastercam 2017 supports Region Chaining Preview which allows you to see your machining, air, and containment regions. Mastercam 2017 also builds on its already efficient and powerful Dynamic Motion engine, and introduces micro lifts which use a line-of-sight approach to move the tool where it needs to go through unobstructed areas. Reposition moves are now more efficient, less complex, and travel a short-
er distance which creates smaller file sizes and improves cycle times at the machine. 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 semi-finishing 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.

ElectroMech wins “Manufacturing Today Award” for Excellence in Technology ElectroMech, the biggest industrial overhead crane manufacturer in India has won “Manufacturing Today Award” for Excellence in Technology in the SME category. This award was presented to ElectroMech by Manufacturing Today magazine, during an award ceremony held on 2nd September 2016 at Hyatt Regency, Pune, during the 5th Manufacturing Today Conference. ElectroMech won this award
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
for an ingeneously designed modular gantry crane used for handling precast segments at a bridge construction project. The uniqueness of this crane was its ability to be configured to three different span settings and two different heights of lift. The user of this crane can select any of the following span – 19m, 28m, 33.5m and select a height of either 18m or 25m. Due to this, the same crane can be configured in 6 dif-

ferent ways giving rise to immense flexibility in usage and deployment at different project sites. Further design features also ensured that the transportation cost of this crane is minimized by using a modular construction. For any infrastructure construction company, the ability to deploy its equipment across multiple projects, ensures that the equipment gets amortised over these multiple projects. Traditionally, gantry cranes have always been fully customized and construction companies amortise these cranes across only one project. This affects the profitability of that particular project as the entire cost of the equipment
gets loaded on this project. By giving the client an ability to deploy the same equipment in 6 different configurations, the client has greater flexibility in usage and is able to reduce the loading of the equipment cost to the project and in turn increase the profitability of the project to that extent. ElectroMech also used a castellated type girder construction for this gantry crane to reduce the wind loading up to 20%, thus improving the stability of the crane. Commenting on the occasion, Tushar Mehendale, Managing Director, ElectroMech said, “This award truly replicates our commitment
to develop unique and innovative “out-of-thebox” ideas for the complex requirements of our customers. On the other side, such awards do bring along additional responsibility to continuously improve our crane solutions. Apart from the customers, who put the strong faith in our capabilities, this award is also an acknowledgement for the support and dedication of our vendors and employees who play an active role in the entire supply chain.”

Danfoss India highlights benefits of energy efficient interventions Speaking at the 15th edition of “CII Energy Efficiency Summit”, Mr Ravichandran Purushothaman, President, Danfoss India highlighted the multiple benefits of investing in energy efficient interventions. Organisations that incorporated the best practices in energy management were also felicitated during the conference. Given the increased thrust on manufacturing and the emphasis on Make in India, energy consumption is bound to amplify in the coming years, adding to the burden of an already stretched energy ecosystem. According to Energy Statistics 2015, released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, in 2013-14, industrial sector used 52.72% of the total final energy consumption. With the industrial sector accounting for more than half the energy consumption, it is vital for stakeholders to explore technologies and solutions that will help manufacturers deliver more with less. The need of the hour is a regulation/policy from the government that calls for mandatory usage of
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
energy saving drives that have the capacity to increase motor efficiency, directly impacting process efficiency and thus productivity. While it is important for the government to strengthen its policy framework, as key drivers of the economy, it becomes increasingly important for manufacturers, industrialists and private organizations to innovate, implement and showcase the many benefits of using interventions like variable frequency drives, valves, compressors, sensors and other energy saving interventions that have the potential to save energy. “Increased emphasis on manufacturing coupled
with booming infrastructure growth will lead to increasing energy demand with ramifications on energy intensity, an important measure of the energy efficiency of a nation’s economy. One of the easiest method to make industries more efficient and help them optimise productivity with available resources is to equip them with necessary interventions like variable frequency drives that will improve process efficiency, reduce downtime and generate significant energy savings”, said Mr. Ravichandran Purushothaman, President, Danfoss India. “Quality, innovation and reliability should form the building blocks of our technologies and help push the boundaries of what is possible and engineer the dreams of tomorrow, today,” he added.

Adani Group with the Largest Solar Project Pipeline in India According to Mercom Capital Group’s latest report, India Solar Quarterly Market Update, large scale project development in India is largely fragmented but we are starting to see a shift towards the sector dominated by large corporations and private equity-backed players. The Adani Group, an infrastructure and power conglomerate, which entered the solar sector just over two years ago now has the largest overall solar project pipeline in India with almost 2 GW. The Adani Group, with approximately 11 percent market share, has the most projects under development in India followed by ReNew Power, a wind and solar company backed by Goldman Sachs with ~10 percent market share. Soon to be acquired SunEdison has ~8.5 percent, ACME has ~8 percent, Azure has ~5 percent, Tata Power has 3.8 percent, Suzlon and Hero Future Energies have 3.7 percent of the large-scale solar market each. The top 20 developers account for almost 80 percent of projects under development. In a tough market driven by hyper-competitive reverse auctions and low margins, large conglomerates with deep pockets and strong
balance sheets that can access financing at much lower rates, private equity-backed firms, and international companies with access to cheaper funding abroad are well-positioned to dominate the sector. Other than one-off projects, smaller developers will struggle to grow as financing, low bids, and the policy push towards larger projects will make growth challenging. Tata Power Leads with Installed Capacity With the acquisition of Welspun’s project portfolio, Tata Power currently has the largest solar installed capacity in India with approximately 9 percent. Tata Power is followed by ACME with 7 percent and SunEdison with approximately 5.5 percent (acquisition of SunEdison pending) and Adani with 5 percent. The top 20 developers only account for approximately 58 percent of the 8.1 GW installed capacity and over 500+ other companies account for the rest. Tata Power Leads Solar Rooftop Installations Tata Power leads as the top rooftop installer in India with more than 100 MW, however the
market is still very small. Rooftop solar is struggling to take off in India with 601 MW installed so far. Current incentives have not been enough to move the market forward. Even though there is netmetering policy and policy proposals in many states, implementation has been spotty. It takes six to eight months in some states just to process paperwork. There are currently no subsidies available for commercial and industrial customers, which make up almost 70 percent of the rooftop market. Accelerated depreciation is set to come down to 40 percent in FY 2017-18 from the existing 80 percent. The government’s decision to increase solar parks from 20 GW to 40 GW to make up for slow rooftop adoption indicates that the 40 GW rooftop solar goal by 2022 is not rooftop dependent.

Energy Efficiency Yatra helps Danfoss tap strong industrial market in Pune “Danfoss Energy Efficiency Yatra”, a nationwide-campaign targeted at raising awareness about energy efficiency, by Danfoss, India, a Danish company that provides climate and energy solutions, recently arrived in Pune. The campaign was launched in Delhi and has covered numerous cities before it arrived here. Around 70% of Maharashtra’s industrial revenue is generated from Mumbai, Pune, Nashik and Aurangabad districts, highlighting the significant presence of manufacturers and ancillary industries in Pune. A strong contender for industrial growth, Pune has become a hub for energy intensive sectors like automobile and heavy engineering along with other sectors like real estate. The Energy Efficiency Yatra was aimed at sensitizing stakeholders about the benefits of energy efficient technologies in heavy engineering, manufacturing automobile and ancillary sectors in Pune and the significance of efficiency in terms of process and operations that ultimately optimize productivity. “In industrial sectors, electricity is primarily consumed throughout the facility for various purposes. Additionally, open work environment, common in India, exposes these facilities to airborne dust and fluctuating temperatures, reducing performance capacity. Our drives are consciously designed to help industries mitigate these losses and enable savings of 20-25%,” said Mr. Ravichandran Purushothaman, President, Danfoss India. “We are looking at tapping the heavy engineering and automotive industries in Pune and encourage them to adopt readily available technology like Drives which help reduce their energy consumption significantly,”
he added. “The Energy Efficiency Yatra is a novel concept conceptualised to sensitize key stake holders on the need for energy efficiency interventions as a necessity more than an option. This is a platform to educate industrial consultants and engineering procurement construction consultants on how a better tomorrow is driven by drives”, said Mr. Soren Kvorning, Vice President, Head of Asia, Pacific and India Region, Danfoss Drives, Sales, Marketing and Service. With the need for energy constantly on the rise, it has been encouraging to note that the government has been actively introducing schemes like PAT (Perform, Achieve and Trade) which helps increase energy savings in large industries and facilities like aluminium, cement, chlor-alkali, fertilizers, iron and steel pulp and paper, textiles and thermal power plants. The multi-city tour of Danfoss Drives Energy Efficiency Yatra aims to empower industries to adopt brand new innovations in energy efficient technology. The bus will cover 11000 kms through Ludhiana, Amritsar, Patnagar, Satna, Jamshedpur, Durgapur, Kolkata, Rourkela, Angul, Raigarh, Vizag, Guntur, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pondicherry, Cuddalore, Salem, Coimbatore, Bellary, Gulbarga, Kolhapur, Pune, Raigad, Nagpur, Indore, Vapi, Surat, Ahmedabad and Jamnagar in a span of four months.

Essar Bulk Terminal Hazira capacity set to expand The 550-metre berth of Essar Bulk Terminal Limited (EBTL) in Hazira is being expanded by a further 1,100 metres to accommodate the steady growth in cargo throughput at the port. With the expansion, the capacity of the Hazira terminal will increase from the existing 30 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 50 MTPA. Post completion of expansion, the port will have capability of simultaneously handling 7 vessels at any point of time. Essar Bulk Terminal is investing Rs 750 crore in the expansion project, which along
with the existing investment of Rs 2,450 crore, will take the total investment in Hazira port to Rs 3,200 crore. In the quarter ending 30 June 2016, traffic at the port increased by 80% to 4.4 million metric tonnes (MT), as against 2.4 MT in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The cargo growth is backed by a ramp-up in operations by Essar Steel’s 10-million tonne plant in Hazira. The total port traffic is expected to reach 24 MT in FY17, as against 12.7 MT in FY16.
EBTL has also received permission from the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) to handle 15 MT of third-party cargo over three years. In FY16, 0.75 MT of third-party traffic was handled. This is expected to grow to 5 MT by FY18. Commenting on the development, Capt. S Das, CEO-EBTL, said: “The Hazira Terminal has been integral to fulfilling the cargo handling requirement of Essar Steel plant. The expanded terminal will not only help us service the enhanced requirements of our anchor customer, but also cater to our growing volumes of third-party cargo.” Rajiv Agarwal, CEO & Managing Director, Essar Ports Limited, said: “EBTL has huge potential and is moving in the right direction to unlock that potential. Its performance in the last one year has been extremely heartening. I have no doubt that the expansion project will help the company scale new heights.”

HRS PROCESS : Technology leadership in
HEAT TRANSFER & PROCESS SYSTEM arena
Q. Being the key player in heat exchangers business, Please brief us about recent initiatives undertaken in process equipment industry? Heat Exchangers are one of the key process equipment for any industry, especially the process industry. Heat exchangers utilize energy effectively to give the process required capability of conversion. Traditionally shell and tube heat exchangers (STHE) have been the main-stay of process industry for over many decades. Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE) have been in use for over 50 year. Other types of heat exchanger include special designs in enhanced tube designs and scraped surface heat exchanger. Corrugated Tube Heat Exchangers are the most recent development and HRS has been a pioneer in developing this technology for application across the process industry sector. We have innovated Corrugated Tube Heat exchanger technology to arrive at designs which are not only energy efficient but also very cost competitive. “ECOCLUX* Corrugated Tube Heat Exchanger from HRS has been used across the industry for various process applications and have been performed in every demanding situation. Q. What are the market opportunities for process equipment industry in India? Process equipment industry had modest growth in the past years. Predominantly investments happened in replacement and capacity enhancements segments. Green field plants have not been many. With the thrust on economic growth in the current and next five
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
year plan, opportunities for process equipment industry in India will increase substantially. We anticipate investments in new plants with higher processing capacity and consolidation of existing plants to derive benefit from higher volume operations. Companies will have to invest in new technologies to not only reduce costs and enhance profitability, but also to be competitive and environment conscious. Q. The incisive competition leads to work on lower profit margins, how do you tackle this position by implementing what kind of marketing strategy? Competition is a necessity as it brings about agility in our operations. It helps us understand our strengths (& weaknesses) viz-a-viz competing product. We understand optimisation requirement for our products and are able to put forth right solutions to the customer. We are a “one stop shop” for key heat transfer products and thus are able to offer customers proper advice and solution in their application. We always believe educating the customer on the technology trends and giving them necessary input to take decision on type of heat transfer equipment which is most suitable for their application is essential. The profit margins are not lower if we are able to demonstrate “value for money” to the customer. Q. According to your opinion, how does the synergy of R&D & technology developments is maintain to maintain the position in the market ? R&D and technology development is necessary
not only to maintain the position in the market but more importantly rising to the challenges of the process industry since heat transfer is an energy consuming/saving equipment.

infrastructure facility for key industry sectors. International quality certification for facility has also increased. All these lead to better Customer confidence and helps in making right buying decision. Q. Could you brief us on Indian & Global perspective of process equipment industry? Globally the process equipment industry is working on two lines - developed economies and developing economies. The challenge is to have the right technology and process equipments for the developing economy which can be sustained in that particular country. This helps in better technology absorption and development of local industry. Indian economy is a good example of how this is balanced to help grow the process equipment industry. We have some of the latest process equipment and technology by global companies with adequate domestic processing capacity. And on the other hand, we have domestic companies who have grown over the years to manufacture equipments for global industry. This synergy is very important for the growth of process equipment industry in a globally competitive market. Q. According you what are the factors affecting to process equipment business? The process equipment business has always followed the process industry investments graph. Whenever there are investments in the process sector, the equipment industry also benefits. However, in the recent past the process equipment industry has also started looking into the global operations & thus is able to manage some of this negative swing. Local taxes & infrastructure are other area of concern to the process equipment business as it impacts the profita-
bility. Skilled workmen are need of the hour. Over all the process equipment industry has to reinvest itself to deliver quality products at competitive price to be able to sustain globally. Q. What are the key technological trends that are driving process equipment industry? Process equipment industry has taken to automation in the past decade and continues to invest in new technology. Automation is used as a tool to enhance productivity, improve quality and develop new processes to make more complicated products. Skill development has been necessitated to ensure proper absorption of technology to derive the benefits.
on process sector investments, so right investment climate for the process industry is of prime importance. The industry needs to invest in new technology and skill enhancement. Automation in key processing area is very essential. Developing skilled manpower resource and imbibing new technology/machinery will help bridge the gap and enhance productivity and quality. The industry needs to work on shifting delivery schedule and quality issues due to lack of monitoring and control on operations. “Delivering on commitment” has to be a non-negotiable value. We expect some better rationalisation on the tax structure and investment in infrastructure in industrial zones.
Q. What is your vision for your company? HRS globally has a vision of being innovative heat transfer and process system supplier.

HOW TEAM (TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE) WORKS! “Individual talents get magnified many times over, through the collective lens of an effective team,” says Dalal Haldeman.
W
ell, what is a team? It is a collection of individuals united by a common goal and a vision, which drives them towards an objective in a focussed and concerted manner. Interestingly, they are usually with dissimilar talents and capabilities. However, they believe that “bits” of a “whole” are less than the whole! Naturally, they vouch for team building and teamwork. Teamwork is the process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal. Teamwork is definitely a crucial part of a business endeavour or project, as it is often necessary for colleagues to work well together, trying their best in any circumstance. Teamwork means that people will try to cooperate, using their individual skills and providing constructive feedback, despite any personal conflict between them. It also means that every team member would overlook petty differences and look at the “larger picture” of synergistic achievement. The important aspect of teamwork and the nodal reason why teams succeed where individuals do not, is the fact that the resources of individuals actually amplify exponentially when a team is formed. The oft quoted cliché “Coming together is the beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success”, needs an addendum, which is “staying together is fulfilling”. In reality, teamwork is made up of four important aspects. Namely, identifying and building a team, nurturing the team and activating it, working as a team and sustaining the team.
Situational Leadership It’s good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competencies; but unless you’re able
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
to work in a team and harness each other’s core competencies, you’ll always perform below par because there will always be situations at which you’ll do poorly and someone else does well. Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership. This is the fundamental realization which is the precursor of team formation. Interestingly, the members of a team are required to be quite diverse in their skill-set. A team of clones is a redundant team because the talent set is unnecessarily duplicated in each team member and stands to gain nothing. It is a better idea to carry out a manner of self assessment or SWOT analysis of each and every potential team member. A consortium is all about creating a very powerful environment which enables individuals to outperform their personal capacity. This definitely results in every team member achieving much more than he could in isolation. The methodology of team activation, nurturing and sustaining is again in a stepwise manner. Forming of the team ethos,Storming the “work platform” with great ideas,Norming or setting of the rules of the game,Conforming or a collective recognition that the rules once made are the same for all and need to be followed and of course Performing or execution of task actual.
Common Thread In French, teamwork has a very apt phrase which describes the very ethos of teamwork,”esprit de corps”. It speaks of the common thread which drives the team and also the single agenda that drives various team members to a common objective. Teamwork helps to manage
resources when the path of the team is ridden with obstacles. It is that multifaceted unit where individual aspects encourage the others never to give up. Working as a team, creates a very distinct and definable synergy whereas it is oft said, the sum is greater than the parts. Generally, an environment of inclusive execution rather than exclusive credit is the distinctive hallmark of great teamwork. Moreover, teamwork negates hierarchy and generates a lateral/horizontal pattern of functioning rather than a rung-based one. Teams generally circumvent organisational divides and tend to work in a borderless manner.
Latent Talent Unearthed An individual’s ability to respond to change is considerably enhanced when he is part of a team. Interestingly, the motivational quotient generated due to teamwork is significantly higher than when one is solo. A sense of flexibility, equity, achievement and belonging pervades throughout a good team and fuels it to achieve greater heights. What is insightful is that the role of the team leader, team mate, team driver, team tutor and team fulcrum are all very elastic. During the execution of teamwork, one tends to don the role that fits the most. It is in this ever changing scenario that an individual is more likely to discover some latent talent or capability, hitherto, not known to him. Hence, emphatically, teamwork is that catalyst which serves to singularly enrich one, personally or professionally. It is thus rightly said by one of the greatest visionaries of our times, Helen Keller:
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”. -

he words wires and cables always go together as both are dependent as well as independent on their applications. The wire refers to a round shape article of a few micron diameters to as large as 32 mm diameter and of any length. The application of these wire products are many. The article gives the overview of the wire and cable products. The progress of any nation is reflected on the production and consumption pattern of the above two products.India being one of the ten rich nations has shown an excellent growth in industries. The country is also a major producer and consumer of these products. Lifesaving equipment and drugs administration at all levels require cable and wire products in one form or the other.
World Famous Application of Wires and Cables Brooklyn bridge constructed in 1883 is a typical example of wires and cables used in construction of transport bridge. Andis consideredto be of an engineering marvel. The bridge is still in use. At the time of construction, Steel was a new material for construction application and wire drawing was in the infant stage. Bandra-Worli Sea Link opened in 2009 is
another example of wires and cable used for construction with other steel materials in the form of wire and cables. Pamban Bridge connecting Rameswaram to main land is yet another example of wire and cable application in developing nations. Typical Application Of Wires And Cables • Power cables • Computer, Electronics, Digital equipment, Signalling equipment cables. • Space research application wires and cables • Food procssing,dairy,chemical industries special wires and cables • Special superalloy wires • Medical,Surgical ,Body repair wires and cables • Nuclear grade application wires and cables • Solar panel, wind turbine application special wires • Defence, explosive purpose special wires • Railway power, Signalling system wires and cables.

104 VIEWPOINT > ENERGY SAVING
SAVING & SUPPLEMENTING ENERGY Q. What does the power scene look like in the country? Can we bridge the gap between demand and supply? India has, for the first time in history, declared that it will not have a power deficit this year, a situation officials say is an outcome of the current government’s initiatives to resolve burning issues like fuel scarcity. The country will have a surplus of 3.1% during peak hours and 1.1% during nonpeak hours during 2016-17, latest data from the Central Electricity Authority shows. This is the first time that the country has declared a year of no shortage though many regions have had power surplus for shorter periods. In 2015-16, the peak hour deficit stood at -3.2% while non-peak hour deficit was at -2.1%. The deficit was as high as 13% about a decade ago. The data, based on gap between demand raised and demand met, shows that June onwards the country will have more electricity than required. Half of the states will be surplus, while others may face shortage in varying degrees. The NDA government says power surplus scenario as one of its big achievements. Coal output, which was stagnant for years, has increased significantly, which is helping many stranded power plants to start generating electricity. The government has also launched a high-profile scheme to reform state distribution companies, which are a vital link between power plants and customers. As per the published reports, highest ever conventional power capacity of 46,453 MW has been added during the last two years, about 11,000 MW of gas plants have been revived and coal shortages to power plants removed. The government has launched revival scheme for distribution companies and ten states have joined it. The NDA government has promised to electrify all villages by 2018 and provide 24x7 power supply for which it has signed specific action plans with 21 states. It aims to add 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022. In the actual situation, the report or statement hides the fact that these state utilities often choose to black out areas to reduce their losses, or due to technical failure. The surplus position is
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
misleading. The fact is that very few new Power Purchase Agreements are signed by distribution companies, generation companies are powering down production, load shedding is still rampant, power shortages in cities and villages is all pervasive. The surplus may not be adequate when industrial demand starts to pick up, or even to meet exigencies such as unscheduled generator shutdown or extreme weather event.
Q. What are your views on the need and scope for saving and supplementing Energy in the country? Energy conservation avoids wasteful use of energy without much investment. It can be termed as a new source of energy, which when available, can be readily used without any further loss or gestation period. It is the cheapest source of energy. In fact, it is the easiest solution to bridge the gap between demand and supply. Some other reasons are: a. Increasing energy demand in India is a drain of the national economy. Besides, it is a major factor hindering the competitiveness of basic Indian industries in the global market. Thus, energy conservation is equally important for the nation and industrial firms. b. Electrical power is one of the scarce resources in our country. Generation of electricity is very capital intensive. 1 MW of power generation costs approximately Rs. 4 crores because of the low plant load factor and high transmission losses prevalent in the country. The installed capacity of power station has to be therefore, 2.2 times the electrical load. c. Energy saving achieved through energy efficiency and conservation also avoids capital investment in fuel, mining, transport, water and land required for power plant, thereby mitigating environmental pollution.
Q. Could you throw some light on your Energy Efficient Products and / or Energy Saving Initiatives? ADOR Welding Limited has been developing and manufacturing energy-efficient Inverter based
Mr. Satish Bhat, Managing Director, Ador Welding Ltd.
Welding equipments for more than a decade, however in the recent years it has developed invertors for all the welding processes to supplement and substitute the conventional diode and Thyristor based technologies. In fact, presently more than 85% of the Welding and Plasma Cutting Equipments manufactured and sold by ADOR are Inverter based ones, which consume on an average 20 – 25% less energy from the mains for the same output. ADOR is committed to extensive R & D for enhancing the power efficiency and power quality of these equipments on a long-term basis. In addition, energy efficient lighting systems (LED Lamps), AC Units are extensively used to replace the conventional lights and AC Equipments in all the ADOR manufacturing units, Corporate Office and Sales Units. All DC motors / drives have been converted to AC drive at our company as energy saving initiative. 1. If applicable, please give a brief account of your achievements in tapping Renewable Energy Sources. Project has been taken to introduce solar lighting in utility areas and gardens of ADOR to replace electrically operated systems. We have also installed solar heater plant at our canteen which feeds hot water for preparation of food and cleaning of vessels 2. Do you also recover and harness Waste Heat for your processes? The heat energy generated by certain processes in the Welding Consumable factories are being re-cycled to other process equipment’s where electrical heating is required, thereby reducing consumption of fuel power – adding to the initiative of green energy utilization.
106 TECH TRENDS
How ELECTRONIC pressure control works A
s the trend toward automation continues, electronic control of pressure is a logical progression. Such electronic control of pressure has in fact become commonplace — both to allow automatic control of pressure for production machinery and for controlling pressure from a central location, even if the regulator is placed in an inaccessible or hard-toreach location. Instead of requiring operators to set pressure manually, a regulator may contain an electric motor that turns an adjusting stem until the desired outlet pressure is reached. Another design — sometimes referred to as an I/P, E/P or U/P transducer — accepts an electronic input signal (either I for current, E or U for voltage input), and produces an output pressure that is proportional to that signal. If the command signal 4-20 mA (or 1-5 V DC) or 0-10 V DC calls for
greater pressure, a valve in the regulator shifts to expose the outlet connection to the higher incoming pressure. If lower pressure is called for, a valve shifts to open and bleed the outlet to atmospheric pressure. With the I/P, E/P or U/P designs, the device controls regulator pilot pressure, comparing this pressure to the command signal and acting accordingly to either decrease or increase outlet pressure, which in turn, increases or decreases the regulator outlet (process) pressure. However, process pressure is affected by changes in flow, temperature and other process disturbances, so to sense these changes and adjust the pilot pressure accordingly, the “loop” is often closed in a PLC or central control room. A third type of electronic controller “closes the loop” with an onboard microprocessor that takes an electronic signal from a pressure trans-
mitter located on the outlet of the regulator, compares that signal to the command signal and automatically adjusts the pilot pressure to obtain the desired process pressure to compensate for any process disturbance. The pneumatic controlled regulator will be selected to meet the needs of the application like inlet and outlet pressure range, flow capability, media compatibility, porting configuration while the electronic control head is common. By this combination a great variety of applications can be served. If needed, the regulator can also supply an electronic signal representative of the process pressure for monitoring, data acquisition, etc. Versions that interface with digital controls are also available. The accuracy of such a closed loop control is down to 0.1% if using an electronic regulator TESCOM ER5000 as a standalone component. If it is working together with a pneumatic controlled pressure regulator, the accuracy of the entire system depends on many factors like hysteresis of the regulator, sticking effects of O-rings, the application environment and therefore is difficult to determine. Typically, pressure control accuracies of 0.25% can be achieved.

ACTIVE
HARMONIC FILTER The author Mr. S.B.Mahajani is working with Amtech Electronics (India) Ltd as Dy. General. Manager. Amtech is the leading manufacturer of Industrial Electronics products such as Variable Frequency Drives, Soft starters and so on. Amtech has a range of products in the field of Automation such as PLCs, HMIs, MMIs etc and also provides power quality solutions through Harmonic audits and through products such as Active Front End Converters and Active Harmonic Filters.
T
he power pollution is happening due to more and more use of Power Electronics Equipment. The power electronics equipment such as Variable Frequency Drives, DC Drives, Induction Furnaces, Rectifiers, UPSs and so on are called as non-linear loads. These non-linear loads draw non-sinusoidal current from a sinusoidal voltage source. The non-sinusoidal current contains fundamental pure sinusoidal current contaminated with its harmonics which distort the current. The distortion in current can also distort the voltage and spread the power pollution. The current and voltage distortion has harmful effects on plant such as excessive heating, power factor capacitor failures, premature blowing of fuses, stress on motors and generators and so on. The remedy for harmonic related problems is harmonic filtering. Out of harmonic filtering techniques the most advanced technique is to use Active Harmonic Filter.
ly explained by the expression shown below. IL = IF + IH, IC = -IH IS = IL + IC = (IF + IH) + (-- IH) = IF
Practical case study Active Harmonic Filter of 100A Harmonic current compensation capacity was connected across nonlinear load of 100HP Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The Test Set up is given in Figure-3. This can be considered a result of synthesis of the fundamental current IF and the harmonic current IH (Figure-2b). (IL = IF + IH) The compensation current IC of the active filter is controlled so that its intensity is the same as that of the abovementioned IH, and that its polarity is just reversed (IC = - IH). Refer to Figure-2c. As a result, components of harmonic currents contained in the load current are canceled by the effect of the active filter and the source current IS remains only to be IF, which is a sinusoidal wave (Figure-2d). This can be neat-
The observations taken are shown in slides 1 to 5. Slide No. 1: Source current and load current without Active Harmonic Filter. Slide No. 2: Source current and load current with Active Harmonic Filter. Slide No. 3: Harmonic spectrum of load current Slide No. 4: Harmonic spectrum of source current without active harmonic filter Slide No. 5: Harmonic spectrum of source current with active harmonic filter
Principle of Operation of Active Harmonic Filter:
Selective Harmonic Elimination
Figures 1 and 2 show the operational principle of the active filter, with which a rectifier load is connected. As shown in Figure-1, the active filter is inserted between the load side and the source side, in parallel to the load. For simplicity, the load current IL is assumed to be in a form of rectangular wave, as illustrated in Figure 2a.
This is the most advanced feature of this Active Harmonic Filter. We can program the AHF to eliminate only â&#x20AC;&#x153;selectedâ&#x20AC;? harmonics out of the total harmonics in the current harmonic spectrum. For example this filter is programmed to eliminate only 5th harmonic. Thus it can be seen that Active Harmonic Filter reduces the distortion of current drawn

accurately decided by getting the details of the non-linear load and short-circuit capacity at the point where AHF is to be connected.
Observation-2:
from source, which prevents the power pollution due to non-linear loads. Slides-1 to 6 are self explanatory to show operation of AHF.
Some typical observations at site Observation-1: Current THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) on load side increases when AHF is installed to filter the current distortion caused by non liner load.
Why this happens? This is because when AHF is installed it drastically reduces source side current distortion. This reduces voltage distortion and voltage waveform changes from flat-top-shape and becomes more like sine-wave. Thus now load sees more peak voltage and hence the current drawn by it has more peak, which deviates more from sine-wave, hence the load-side current distortion increases. The increase in load current THD depends upon the source impedance. This is to be kept in mind while selecting the rating of AHF. For example, if load current is 1000A and has THD of 20%, we will select AHF of 200 Amps (20% of 1000 Amps). However it may happen that load current THD increases to 22% after installing AHF. Hence now AHF has to filter 220 Amps current (22% of 1000 Amps), whereas its capacity is only 200 Amps. Hence some safety margin should be considered in selecting AHF rating. The safety margin can be more
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
While installing AHF, the care should be taken that the Power Factor compensating capacitor (PFC) should be connected before the Current Transformer (CT, refer Figure-4 ), so that current through PFC is not passing through this CT. Installation of AHF as shown in Figure-4 is correct, whereas if it is done as per Figure-5, it is wrong.
Why it is so? This is because CT has to sense only load current, which is generating the harmonics. PFC is not generating the harmonics. Hence whatever harmonics are generated by non-linear load, are to be compensated by AHF so that source need to supply them. PFC carries the harmonic current which is due to harmonics in source voltage, which are due to voltage distortion because of load current harmonics. Once AHF takes care of load current harmonics, source voltage distortion will automatically improve and will reduce the harmonic current in PFC. It also means that due to site constraints, if PFC has to be placed after CT then the current through PFC as sensed by CT should be cancelled by another CT (CT- X, refer Figure- 6), so that AHF operation is not affected.
Conclusion: Active Harmonic Filter is a state-of-the-Art solution for Harmonic Mitigation. It should be installed with due care, then it will filter the harmonics effectively and will improve the quality of power used by the plant.

ight weight plays a major part in the aerospace industry as a whole and is an key factor to be taken into account when designing a first or business class aircraft seat. By taking into account the total number or seats, a weight reduction of each seat has a major impact, directly affecting fuel consumption for each flight and therefore playing a key role in terms of cost reduction. This is why seat manufacturers, in order to meet lightness requirements, are constantly focusing on searching for components able to provide a high performance within this constraint. More specifically, components used to move seats and its parts are particularly important: the linear and telescopic rails used for tracking seats and for moving all its components (arm rests, head rests, fold-out tables) must be light and compact and, at the same time, ensure a smooth and quiet movement. Above all, they must be able to withstand high loading capacities and a high degree of sturdiness: associated tests are very strict, requiring deceleration up to 16g. This is why Rollon, a multinational group specialized in the production of linear and telescopic rails and actuators, by working for years with top designers of first and business class aircraft seats, has devised special solutions dedicated to the aerospace industry. They are linear and curved rails, able to ensure a very smooth and quiet operation, and telescopic rails with special profiles designed to reduce weight compared to standard products, without affecting sturdiness and rigidity. More specifically, the DE series telescopic

rails (Fig. 1) are 30% lighter than standard products, thanks to a new design of the cold drawn profile and to the removal of excess material, without affecting the quality and reliability typical of all Rollon products. Hardened raceways, in fact, withstand in excess of 100,000 cycles, even when the maximum load is applied (approximately 130kg at the end, where the rail is fully extracted) and retain the self-aligning capability to the surfaces they are fitted to. This ensures a smooth, friction-free movement, as well as a more ergonomic position and better comfort for passengers. The construction of the rail makes it specially suitable for applications such as tracking aircraft first and business class seats, horizontally extracting the armrests and pulling out tables. The Rollon linear rails from the Compact Rail family (Fig. 2), on the other hand, featuring ball bearing sliders and hardened and ground raceways, are used to vertically move the armrests and can handle up to 4mm misalignments in terms of parallelism for the bigger sizes. Lastly, the rails from the Curviline family (Fig. 3), with ball bearing sliders, are used to move sliding tables where design requirements make it necessary to provide curved sliders with different radiuses.

eady to install, maintenance-free and lubricant-free linear guides are becoming more popular in machine and plant manufacturing. “Off the shelf” solutions that fit exactly to the construction requirements of the user are uncommon To simplify product selection for design engineers, the motion plastics specialist igus has developed a construction kit for its drylin ZLW axes, with which the customers can individually assemble their own solutions. In this modular system, width, rail distances and length of the axes can be adapted quickly and easily. Due to the low profile of the toothed belt axes, even small installation spaces are sufficient
for this. In addition, users can order the cross beams, rails and carriages made of aluminium or stainless steel. The latter is of particular interest for applications in the food industry, due to the majority of components being made from stainless steel, this is a unique when considering standard ‘off the shelf’ items. A maximum service life is possible in combination with liners made of iglidur E7. The linear guides can be supplied with the igus motor or connected to the customer’s which enables a variable motor integration to the right and left of the axis by means of solid and hollow shafts.
Now even higher loads and more dynamic applications are possible Due to the new installation size ZLW-20, loads up to 75 kg can be lifted, with maximum stroke lengths of up to 3,000 millimetres. The wide drive belt also permits high speeds of more than 5 m/s depending on the load. The polyurethane toothed belt with steel cable reinforcement is set centrally on the carriage at the required belt tension. An underwater application is also possible with a special belt. Grooved ball bearings ensure a robust support and greater energy efficiency. A quiet running and a long service life even in continuous operation make the ready to install solutions interesting for numerous applications, such as the most varied handling tasks in the food or laboratory technology. Due to the open design, the linear axes are easy to clean and also insensitive to dirt.

enough – we don’t really need speed, but we are interested in achieving the highest quality surfaces possible. Some of the steel moulds we make will be used for between twenty and forty years. As we make bottles in relatively low volumes, eight hundred to one thousand a day, we don’t need full automation at any stage in our process. The biggest challenge we face is the complexity and detail designed into some of the surfaces. Our customers are selling luxury products, so they want packaging to reflect the cost and exclusivity of the contents. Many of the moulds we machine take two to three months to develop, from when I first create the design in SolidWorks® to when we begin production of the bottles. We don’t have a great deal of competition – at least, not in Spain. Most of the industry focuses on high volume, which, like many things, has migrated to China and the Far East. Personally, I feel that’s not great, as the conditions for local workers in those countries can be pretty poor. This company was started over forty years ago, as a cooperative. The current owner is Antonio Torrejon, who bought the business when he was general manager, ten years ago. He has a great deal of experience in glass production and he doesn’t want to grow too quickly. The philosophy here is step-by-step, which as a designer, suits me very nicely. I like to experiment and try new things. The Haas is the perfect machine for me, as it facilitates my style of designing. With the help of our operator, José Molina, I can quickly and easily turn my ideas into prototype parts, even though I’m not a trained CNC machinist. The Haas control is very easy to use, and it works well with our Cimatron CAM software. Most of our designs are made in collaboration with the client, but some of them are entirely our own creation. The primary purpose of the Haas machine is to serve our glass workshop, but as time goes, we’ll produce more moulds for other customers, and perhaps make our own products to sell to third parties. As a designer, I never stop thinking or dreaming about how I can use the Haas. And not just glass moulds! I have all sorts of ideas. But as a business we’ve never been busier, so some of my ideas will have to wait.

Heavy duty machining - but safe
The importance of the tool holder is still understated, especially when it comes to roughing and heavy duty machining. Metal removal rates in these types of processes are absolutely crucial for the productivity of the machining operation. By using special shrink fit chucks with drive pins and spiral grooves in the tool shank it is now possible to perform high-feed full slotting of up to 2 x D (50 mm) or more in difficult to machine materials. Application studies conducted by the machine tool manufacturer Heller have proven the effect of the HAIMER Safe-Lock system
E
specially within the aerospace, energy and mechanical engineering sector, production managers have to bridge the gap between economic efficiency and high process reliability when working with materials that are difficult to machine. Fortunately there is peace of mind in knowing that the machine technology innovations continue to develop to meet the ongoing demands of manufacturing. Heller machine tools is known as a source of inspiration for these kinds of innovations. The company, located in Nuertingen, Germany, is known for its high quality 4 and 5-axis CNC machining centres, CNC mill/turning centres,
CNC machines for crankshaft and camshaft machining as well as flexible manufacturing systems. Customers value their availability of products and their competency in managing special processing demands. Both qualities stem from Heller’s in-house manufacturing, which relies on closer collaboration with customers, suppliers and researchinstitutes to remain on the forefront of innovation.
Roughing is a highly promising process Werner Kirsten, who is working in the Technology Development Department at Heller and is responsible for the area of “difficult to machine materials“, explains: “our service includes optimizing the machining processes together with our customers and suppliers. To support such services with practical trials, our Technology Center is equipped with a variety of machines”. In most cases the aim is to increase the prod-uctivity without compromising the process reliability. Technologist Kirsten adds, “We often achieve this aim with an optimized roughing operation which ultimately results in a reduced finishing process. By maintaining the same technological values, but shortening the finishing depth of cut by 50%, the overall machining time is reduced to half. However, this requires process reliable and controllable

systems during roughing.” In this regard,all machining components in the process chain have to be considered in order to improve productivity. The machine tool is the most evident component of the machining process, however the tool holding system, the coolant supply and other elements are also essential for a successful operation. “In the end the weakest link of the process chain limits the success,” Werner Kirsten emphasizes. In his opinion most machine shops don’t pay attention to the tool holder even though it is especially significant for high performance cutting. “Many of the trials which we carried out during the last few years have proven this point”, Werner Kirsten explains. We realized that the tool holder hasan incredible influence on the machining process. In the case of reinforced shrink fit chucks, for example, the vibration node is closer to the bearing point (due to the larger mass). The result is a smoother machining process with less vibration and a better surface finish quality while using the same tool, machine, process parameters and fixturing technology.”

Gaining new insights from difficult cases
achieve good productivity and surface quality results using basic standard cutting tools. Werner Kirsten refers to comparative tests with basic four-edge cutting tools without an inner coolant supply. As an alternative to a standard shrink fit chuck he selected a HAIMER Power Shrink Chuck with Cool Flash which ensures that the coolant is transported directly to the cutting edges. “Compared to using a normal shrink fit chuck and external coolant, we were able to achieve significantly better results.” When a group of representatives from the aerospace industry, the Technical University of Dortmund and Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg visited Heller,an especially extensive milling application study was conducted in Titanium Ti-6AI-4V.
The available machining center was a four axis Heller H 5000 with a gear unit and HSK-A100 spindle, which yields torques up to 2.290 Nm. In order to demonstrate the machining potential, different 25mm diameter end mills were used to mill full slots into a titanium plate. To simulate holder conditions used in the aerospace industry, the tools were clamped into reinforced shrink fit chucks. At an axial cutting depth of0.5 to 1.0x D the machining process was found to be very reliable. Since the spindle was not running at full capacity, the trial participants agreed to increase full slotting depth to 2 x D. Werner Kirsten explains: “Under these conditions the tool pulled out of the shrink fit chuck during the machining operation, creating a slot closer to 2.5xD as it progressed through the part. Towards the end of the slot the tool finally broke as a result of increased cutting forces.” The milling specialists all agreed that the clamping force of the chuck was the limiting factor in this process. As soon as the axial pressure and process related vibrations are too high the tool moves out of the chuck and further into the workpiece. At the same time the cutting pressure increases such thatin the end the tool breaks and the workpiece is irreversibly damaged. Reasons and possible countermeasures were discussed intensively. In the end, Werner Kirsten developed the idea that the tools are forced to navigate towards the spindle when the holding forces are exceeded. This is how he ultimately noticed the patented HAIMER SafeLock™ system which in addition to frictional clamping forces, has the same helix pattern as the tool. Theoretically, he realized that even if the tool got loose while using Safe Lock™, it would be pulled into the holder through the helical drive keys and not into the part. A move-
ment that can be easily prevented through the use of length presetting screws.
Prevent tool pull-out Werner Kirsten got in contact with HAIMER, the European market leader for tool holding technology, in order to test the Safe-Lock™system: “we wanted to know if our ideas could be put into practice using the HAIMER system in an even less forgiving environment.” The Heller technology developer repeated the described trial,with a few major changes. HAIMER SafeLock™ grooves were subsequently added on similar solid carbide tools, but the application would be run again with a reduced spindle taper interface (HSK 63 instead of HSK 100), with a less rigid 5-axis gear driven spindle and a less stable diagonally fixtured workpiece. The result: Despite these additional limiting factors, the tool was able to process a full slot of 2 x D = 50mm with complete process reliability. Werner Kirsten says: “this way we were able to indirectly prove that Safe-Lock™ works and that the shrinking technology has even more potential with HSK-A100, especially on 5-axis machining centers with gear spindles.”

As a system integrator, BEUMER Group supports its customers from planning through commissioning, to ensure fast, safe and fault-free sortation, distribution and control of very different goods such as parcels, bags and bulk goods. SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
n times where online retailing is constantly growing, the delivery promises of suppliers are becoming increasingly important. Customers expect their order to arrive in time, as ordered, and at the correct destination. If these requirements are not met, customers can choose to simply change suppliers, and often also even share their dissatisfaction on social media. High reliability requires efficient intralogistics, from warehousing to sortation and transportation. Intralogistics need to be versatile, capable of managing complexity while increasing their efficiency. BEUMER Group supports online retailers and shipping providers with competence and with efficient sortation and conveying technology. The most successful e-commerce companies are those who can provide a wide range of products and the necessary reliability. This, however, increases the expectations of a limitless supply of goods at low cost and with immediate and fault-free delivery.
How to fulfil customer expectations In order to stay competitive as an online retailer and reach new audiences, you have to look towards new trends. This includes individual delivery times and same day delivery, whereby the customers order and receive products on the same day. This option may to finally bring e-commerce on the same product availability level of local retailing. This special type of express delivery however only covers certain regions, depending on where the online store is based. It is offered within the urban logistics of large cities and is more expensive than regular delivery. Even though there is a high demand for this in the industry, only few retailers offer
it as a delivery option. In typical e-commerce orders, deliveries are often atomised. The customer orders more often, sometimes several times a day, and in smaller quantities. This leads to smaller, but more frequent deliveries, which is very challenging for the manufacturers of intralogistic systems and for operational logistics.
Finding the perfect intralogistic solution is crucial Overall, as the material distribution technology becomes more complex, intralogistic equipment and systems are required to be more flexible in order to handle different tasks and be able to adapt to changing local conditions. Highly efficient processes are therefore necessary to ensure quick delivery of packages to the customer. Tracking and tracing of deliveries is becoming more important as well. As a system integrator, BEUMER Group supports its customers from planning through commissioning, to ensure fast, safe and faultfree sortation, distribution and control of very different goods such as parcels, bags and bulk goods. Our product base includes modular high-speed sortation systems that give the users a competitive advantage and prepare them for future growth in their own mail-order business.
Concept of an order-picking system BEUMER Group has already realised numerous projects in cooperation with partners from the intralogistics sector. Shuttle warehouses with a storing and taking out frequency of more than 10,000 units per hour are best suited for handling receptacles and cartons for A,
TECH TRENDS 139
B and C items with high availability. When handling small parts automatically, these storage solutions are well-established for these applications and are particularly suited for fast growing companies that store different types of products. A cross-belt sorter ensures the connection between goods receipt department, the shuttle warehouse, the order-picking stations and the goods issuing department. This sorter solution achieves a high distribution rate of more than 10,000 receptacles per hour. Besides distributing receptacles and cartons, crossbelt sorters are ideal for the gentle handling of all types of products, regardless of their size, shape or surface characteristics. The cross-belt sorter consists of several mobile flat belt conveyors. They are arranged perpendicular to the direction of run of the belt. This allows the transported items to be fed or discharged either to the right or to the left of the direction of run of the belt. The products are fed onto the cross belt at a speed adjusted to the sorter speed and the angle of induction.
Placing great emphasis on sustainability BEUMER Group equips the sorter with modules for order-picking stations. Additional sensor technology is often installed to detect and eliminate potential errors and increase the successful sortation rate. Safe and reliable sorting processes are guaranteed at all times. Complete order containers are automatically moved to the goods issuing department, while incomplete order containers from each module are moved back to the shuttle warehouse and empty containers go back to the goods receipt department to be filled again. The delivery from the goods issuing department to your doorstep, or to the collection boxes, is usually ensured by service providers. They provide a comprehensive network of sortation centres, offices and
delivery service. Their systems are primarily aimed towards the traditional package range. The fact that delivery quantities are increasing and delivery sizes decreasing at the same time usually leads to their capacity being exhausted. Delivery windows are becoming increasingly more narrow and sortation periods shorter. In order for the service providers to meet the requirements of e-commerce, they have to increase their capacities.
From manual to machine-aided unloading The capacity in existing buildings can be increased by replacing manual unloading with machine-aided bulk unloading. This enables much higher throughput per gate. BEUMER Group has brought the first generation of semi-automatic machines to the market, the BEUMER Parcel Picker. It relieves the physical burden of the employees, and at the same time increases productivity. The personnel working for postal operators and CEP companies can use it to unload packages, parcels and delivery units of different sizes and weights from swap bodies and trailers at a high capacity. The unloading capacity increases with smaller deliveries. For the bulk stream to be efficiently processed, the packages need to be automatically separated. This is why BEUMER Group has developed the Automatic Parcel Singulator, which is matched to the discontinuous mode of operation of a loop sorter induction unit. It has a compact
design and its required capacity is adapted to requirements of the induction unit. Its operation is low in noise and in maintenance. A typical application proposes two BEUMER Parcel Pickers that supply one Automatic Parcel Singulator. The result of the separation is monitored by an image sensor. Correctly separated packages arrive at the sorter via a discharge unit, whereas incorrectly separated deliveries are automatically returned to the Automatic Parcel Singulator.

The benefits of Smart Manufacturing Smart manufacturing aims to take advantage of advanced information and manufacturing technologies to enable flexibility in physical processes to address a dynamic and global market By Indian Institution Of Plant Engineers-Tamilnadu Chapter
I
n recent years, manufacturing has been conceptualized as a system that goes beyond the factory floor, and paradigms of “manufacturing as an ecosystem” have emerged. The term “smart” encompasses enterprises that create and use data and information throughout the product life cycle with the goal of creating flexible manufacturing processes that respond rapidly to changes in demand at low cost to the firm without damage to the environment. The concept necessitates a life-cycle view, where products are designed for efficient production and recyclability. Smart Manufacturing enables all information about the manufacturing process to be available when it is needed, where it is needed, and in the form that it is needed across entire manufacturing supply chains, complete product lifecycles, multiple industries, and small, medium and large enterprises. The Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition (SMLC) is building the technical and business infrastructure that facilitates the development and deployment of Smart Manufacturing systems across the entire manufacturing ecosystem. One previous definition of an advanced manufacturing enterprise is the “intensified application of advanced intelligence systems to enable rapid manufacturing of new products, dynamic response to product demand, and realtime optimization of manufacturing production and supply-chain networks (SMLC 2011).” This idea is represented by a Smart Factory that relies on interoperable systems; multi-scale dynamic modeling and simulation; intelligent automation; scalable, multilevel cyber security;
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
and networked sensors. Such enterprises utilize data and information throughout the entire product life cycle with the goal of creating flexible manufacturing processes that respond rapidly to changes in demand at low cost to the firm, as well as to the environment. These processes facilitate the flow of information across all business functions inside the enterprise and manage the connections to suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders outside the enterprise.
Advanced robotics used in automotive production Big data processing Smart manufacturing utilizes big data analytics, to refine complicated processes and manage supply chains. Big data analytics refers to a method for gathering and understanding large data sets in terms of what are known as the three V’s, velocity, variety and volume. Velocity informs the frequency of data acquisition, which can be concurrent with the application of previous data. Variety describes the different types of data that may be handled. Volume represents the amount of data. Big data analytics allows an enterprise to use smart manufacturing to shift from reactionary practices to predictive ones, a change that targets improved efficiency of the process and performance of the product. Advanced robots, also known as smart machines operate autonomously and can communicate directly with manufacturing systems. By evaluating sensory input and distinguishing between different product configurations, these machines are able to solve problems and make decisions independent of people. These robots
are able to complete work beyond what they were initially programmed to do and have artificial intelligence that allows them to learn from experience. These machines have the flexibility to be reconfigured and re-purposed. This gives them the ability to respond rapidly to design changes and innovation, which is a competitive advantage over more traditional manufacturing processes. An area of concern surrounding advanced robotics is the safety and well-being of the human workers who interact with robotic systems. Traditionally, measures have been taken to segregate robots from the human workforce, but advances in robotic cognitive ability have opened up opportunities, such as robots, for robots to work collaboratively with people.
Industrial connectivity devices and services Leveraging the capabilities of the internet, manufacturers are able to increase integration and data storage. Employing cloud software allows companies access to highly configurable computing resources. This allows for servers, networks and other storage applications to be created and released at a rapid pace. Enterprise integration platforms allow the manufacturer to collect data broadcast from its machines, which can track metrics such as work flow and machine history. Open communication between manufacturing devices and networks can also be achieved through internet connectivity. This encompasses everything from tablets to machine automation sensors and allows for machines to adjust their processes based on input from external devices.

FLIR CAMERAS Ensure quality of plastic automotive parts
IR welding is a relatively new technique that is used to assemble plastic components. Yanfeng Automotive Interiors, the world’s leading supplier of instrument panels and cockpit systems, door panels, floor consoles and overhead consoles, has recently adopted this technique in its facility in Louisville, KY, USA, to join parts of the defroster grille of the Ford Escape vehicle. Thermal imaging cameras from FLIR monitor the whole process and make sure that quality of the IR welds is impeccable and repeatable.
The FLIR A315 is a compact and affordable thermal imaging camera for automation applications, fully controlled by a PC.
Y
anfeng Automotive Interiors, headquartered in Shanghai, has more than 90 manufacturing and technical centers in 17 countries and employs over 28,000 people globally. The company has made it its mission to continuously innovate and leverage its capabilities to enhance its position as a trendsetter in the global automotive industry.
INFRARED WELDING Today, plastic plays an increasingly important role in the automotive industry. A few of the reasons for this are that the light weight of plastics makes for more fuel efficient vehicle and that plastics also allow substantial design freedom and flexibility. One of the first steps in the production process of plastics is the transforming of raw materials, like polymers into plastic parts
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
for cockpit components, instrument panels, door panels, floor consoles, and many more. In a next stage, the plastic parts need to be assembled. Some of these parts need to be put together very tightly, and one of the best technologies to do this is by infrared welding. This is a relatively new welding technique used for challenging materials and large part assembly with high strength and hermetic requirements. During an infrared welding process, two part halves are held rigidly in position near an infrared emitting platen to melt the joining surfaces. The platen is then removed and the part halves are driven together and allowed to resolidify under pressure.
PRODUCT QUALITY ASSESSMENT One of the products for which Yanfeng is using IR welding is the defroster grille for the Ford
Escape vehicle. Kevin Germain, Manufacturing Engineer at the Yanfeng plant in Louisville comments on the recent set-up of the IR welding machine on the production floor: “Product quality is of utmost importance at Yanfeng, so we try to assess this to the best of our possibilities.” However, shortly after installing the new IR welding machine, there was no real way of telling how well the weld had succeeded, except by doing a visual check after the heat cycle of the welding machine. “This visual check also meant that we had to stop the production flow and pull the welded plastic parts apart,” says Kevin Germain. “Usually, we were taking out one to two pieces per hour as a way of sample inspection. Clearly this was insufficient and no guarantee for 100% product quality. That’s why we needed to look out for an alternative quality monitoring solution, one that does not interrupt the production flow, and also one that catches possible problems before they can occur.”
CASE STUDY 145
Yanfeng to map out heat trends over time and even combine that information with additional data generated by other sensors, like squeeze pressure and voltage power of the IR heaters. “With the FLIR cameras installed, we can now ensure more repeatable welding quality, and whenever an issue does occur, we can increase our response time whenever the maintenance team needs to be called in.” If any of the regions of interest fall outside of the upper or lower temperature control limits, the software analytics pass a “fail signal” to the PLC where the machine is faulted and the welding process is stopped.
Emitted Energy was called in by Yanfeng to install four FLIR A315 thermal imaging cameras on the IR welding machine that was set up for the Ford Escape defroster grille.
THERMAL IMAGING FOR QUALITY CONTROL The Yanfeng team discovered the power of thermal imaging through Emitted Energy, a certified FLIR automation camera distributor and system integrator. Thermal imaging cameras can be used for nondestructive testing and evaluation of IR welds by looking at subsurface features (i.e. subsurface defects, anomalies, etc.) observed on the investigated surface. “We already experimented with the use of a small, handheld thermal imaging camera from FLIR, so we knew what thermal imaging could do,” says Kevin Germain. “But for this check with the thermal imager, we had to stop the machine to look at the plastic part after the heat cycle in the welding process. This was also not reliable enough.” Fortunately, Emitted Energy came with a solution that allows for continuous quality monitoring and 100% reliability. Roy Ray, Vice President of Emitted Energy comments: “Thermal imaging cameras can give an accurate image in non-contact mode of the temperature of the plastic parts during the welding process inside the IR welding machine. These cameras trigger an alarm when a temperature threshold is exceeded and by means of advanced analytics software, they can differentiate between a good and a bad weld pattern.”
MONITORING THE IR WELD Emitted Energy was called in by Yanfeng to install four FLIR A315 thermal imaging cameras on the IR welding machine that was set up for the Ford Escape defroster grille. The cameras
are monitoring 40 regions of interest on the plastic parts after the heat cycle. In combination with Emitted Energy’s dedicated analysis software, they recognize when a temperature is within the upper and lower control limits. If they fall within the limits, a pass signal is sent to the machine PLC and the welding process is continued. If not, the software analytics pass a “fail signal” to the PLC where the machine is faulted and the welding process is stopped. An operator can then remove the rejected part, do a visual check and restart the operation. Kevin Germain comments on the installation of the FLIR A315 cameras: “The FLIR thermal imaging cameras allow us to continually monitor the IR weld quality without interrupting the welding process, even when nobody is attending the IR welding machine, and we can catch possible issues before they actually happen. Since we no longer have to take the welded plastic components apart, we have also been able to significantly reduce the scrap rate.” The IR analysis software also enables

ased near Ghent, Inex specialises in products including milk, chocolate milk, buttermilk, fermented milk, yoghurt, cream and butter. The company, founded in 1898, manufactures and packages both fresh and long-life produce for large European retail chains and multinationals. It has around 440 employees and annual sales of circa €150 million. Since refrigeration is a key element in the manufacturing process, optimum operation and reliability is paramount. As part of a recent investment package, Inex acquired four new industrial refrigerator systems based on Sabroe SMC 106E reciprocating ammonia compressors. At the time, the company had heard good reports of permanent magnet motors and wanted to install one as a trial. As a result, three of the compressors were supplied with standard Leroy-Somer IE2 (90kW) asynchronous AC motors, and one with a Leroy-Somer IE4 (105kW) synchronous permanent magnet motor from the Dyneo range. The refrigeration systems are used to cool water to 1°C, which in turns cools milk to around 4°C. The installation operates almost continuously, but at variable load. Here, the benefits of permanent magnet motors come to the fore as their performance retains almost constant partial load, unlike
standard asynchronous motors, generally leading to a reduction in energy consumption.
Putting the plan into action To put the theory to the test, Control Techniques and Leroy-Somer’s experts visited Inex after the installation was complete. They discovered that the refrigerator operating with the Dyneo permanent magnet motor was delivering significant energy savings. Using a digital energy analyzer, the drive and motor experts made a series of power measurements comparing two refrigeration units working at the same conditions. One featured the LSRPM280SC-T synchronous magnet motor (105kW) running at 1500 rpm and Leroy-Somer Powerdrive, while the other housed the standard LSES280MK-T (90kW) asynchronous motor running at 1487 rpm and a competitor drive.
Significant energy savings It was found that energy savings were being achieved using the permanent magnet motor across a range of different load profiles. Depending on the type of measure – involving number of pistons, speed, evaporation temperature and condensation temperature – the calculated energy savings were between 18-21%, taking into account any losses from the drive and the motor.

ElectroMech designs special crane solution for Valmont The ingeniously designed system resulted in a tremendous amount of saving in labour, time and enhanced productivity at Valmont
V
almont is a world-renowned company that manufactures street lighting poles, traffic signal poles, utility poles, communication poles and poles to light up large sports complexes and stadiums, with manufacturing locations spread around the world. In India, Valmont has a large manufacturing plant at Indapur (Maharashtra). The plant is designed to facilitate a linear flow of material right from the entry of the raw material to the finished product at the despatch bay. The plant is equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment.
Handling challenges Valmont needed cranes to integrate handling right from the entry of raw material to the final stage of processing and despatch. At the beginning of the manufacturing process, in the steel yard the pole stacks are required to be lifted and placed onto the conveyors at the entrance of the fabrication shed/bay. This necessitated lifting and then rotating of poles by 90 degrees. Conventional cranes pose a limitation in rotating the poles automatically and placing them precisely on the conveyors. This made the handling requirement from the EOT crane in this area most challenging.
Some of the key challenges included: • Integration of handling in the entire plant • Rotation of 15m to 18m long poles through 90 degrees for placing onto the fabrication conveyors • Ensure safety while handling long poles • Achieve economy through optimum design of cranes
SEPTEMBER 2016 | www.engrreview.com
How ElectroMech helped At Valmont, ElectroMech installed a total of 22 cranes throughout their manufacturing plant at several locations performing different applications. These cranes are being used at various stages in manufacturing, right from the unloading and carriage of steel poles from the steel yard to placing the poles on the conveyor for fabrication followed by a galvanisation process and then to the final despatch yard. The cranes used in the main manufacturing bays are of standard configurations and are used for performing rigorous applications. There are cranes installed in 5 different bays at Valmont which include the steel yard, fabrication bays, stores, galvanising bay and despatch area. 20 cranes are installed in the indoor area while two cranes are operated in the outdoor which consist of one 10/10MT single girder crane at the despatch area while the other 10/10MT double girder crane with a rotating crab between the steel yard and the fabrication bays. The fabrication shed consists of a combination of 13 cranes of different types and capacities altogether, ranging from 5/5MT to 8/8MT with the span of 17.6m to 23.46m of double girder and jib cranes. One single girder crane of 5MT capacity with a span of 10.5m is operated in the stores area, while six double girder cranes of 16MT capacity with 24m span are installed in the galvanising plant, where the steel poles undergo Seven Tank Galvanising process.
ElectroMech designs special crane The engineering team at ElectroMech analysed
the conditions and designed an innovative and cost-effective material handling equipment for the steel yard. Using a conventional EOT crane was ruled out because rotating the poles would have been a very cumbersome process, involving manual intervention to do the job. Considering this aspect, its engineers designed a special crane with a rotating crab. This innovative design permitted extreme flexibility and ease of work. This one of its kind rotating crab is capable of rotating the object by 360 degrees in clockwise or anticlockwise motion. The special design consists of two hoists of 10MT capacity each, mounted on a rotating crab of a double girder crane. The span of the crane is 17.6m and the height of lift is 7.6m. It can lift a load up to 20MT. The steel poles from the steel yard are lifted using this special purpose crane, turned by 90 degrees to bring them in line with the conveyor in the fabrication bay and then carefully placed on the conveyor. Here, the steel poles are bifurcated into large poles and small poles according to their diameter sizes and then transferred to the respective fabrication bays. This ingeniously designed system resulted in a tremendous amount of saving in labour, time and enhanced productivity at Valmont.
