CEO CORNER Safety first …..

A leading cause of occupational injuries and fatalities is falls, It is fair to say that the indoor industrial work environment – including factories, warehouses and manufacturing plants – also can harbor fall hazards. Such settings create numerous opportunities for tripping, slipping and falling, thanks to greasy floors, damaged steps, clutter and uneven walking surfaces.

Establishing good housekeeping habits is crucial to the safety of your employees. Poor housekeeping practices generate a higher chance of injuries and increase insurance costs and regulatory citations, which ultimately will lead to bad brand image and publicity.

Safe work practices should become a mindset – a ritual that is ingrained in the company’s culture. Make “cleanliness is next to godliness” your mantra. It might sound like an easy job, but keeping all areas of your workplace clean is often the most neglected aspect of safety.

The optimal lighting solution should be a balance of daylight and artificial light, and should be flexible and save energy. This can make a huge difference in workers’ health and productivity and operational costs. Use proper lighting in walkways, staircases, hallways and basements, with a combination of different types of lamps and energyefficient LED bulbs. Make sure to turn the light on first before entering a darkened room.

In poorly lit areas, avoid creating clutter and obstacles. Immediately repair or replace any malfunctioning switches or cords.

Personal protective equipment always should be inspected by a competent, trained person before and during each use. Ensure that your workers receive adequate training in using fall protection systems, controlling any hazards that are present and carrying out rescue plans.

All the practices above become a waste if an employee is insufficiently trained. When your team members fail to understand the dangers of working in factories and plants surrounded by various hazardous chemicals and complex machinery, you create opportunities for incidents and fatalities.

Maintain an open line of communication with your employees to make sure that everyone within the organization is aware of safety practices and knows how to best maintain them. Workers responsible for certain tasks and working with certain equipment must be trained properly. If all above observed with self discipline it leads most safer environment for humans & businesses.

AIR COMPRESSOR

BOGE shapes the future of Industry 4.0 BOGE Compressors has made it a development task to pave the way for the fourth industrial revolution in compressed air technology. In the Smart Factory of the future, compressed air technologies automatically communicate with connected peripheral equipment.

The foundation for this is laid down in the self-describing communication protocol OPC Unified Architectures. In cooperation with users, the Bielefeld family company is developing standards for intelligent component networking. The goal is to ensure that the system adapts itself to the requirements and operates with maximum energy efficiency. New components should also simply be able to integrate into the system by “Plug-and-Pressure”.

“The intelligent networking of compressed air generators and consumers of compressed air opens up a wide range of

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

opportunities to monitor, control and optimize the entire system topology”, says Peter Boldt, Head of Development at BOGE. As one of the first manufacturers of compressed air solutions, BOGE is working on an integrated networking approach which takes the process technologies connected to compressed air into consideration. “The communication protocol from OPC Unified Architectures (OPC UA) is, as an open standard interface for Industry 4.0 applications, one of the most promising solutions in Europe”, says Peter Boldt. In contrast to the usual market and manufacturer-specific bus protocols, OPC UA offers the possibility of establishing a vendor-neutral standard.

The plant technology automatically undertakes the technical configuration to adjust the defined

parameters to the demand-oriented design for the production of compressed air. An easy commissioning of complex compressed air systems and flexible reconfiguration are benefits of the Smart Factory. This is opening up new potential for users and plant designers to save energy. BOGE has laid the technological foundation for intelligent system networking

with the top cluster ‘it’s OWL’ of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Since 2016, BOGE developers, together with manufacturers and users of consumables, have been working on the development of a future-oriented networking standard.

cost. The high-power density of the product is achieved by the maximum use of silicon capacity, using cutting edge technology in thermal management. Its efficient designing allows for greater power sizes to be integrated in a single drive. With its built-in options such as fuses, mains shield, brake chopper, RFI Filter, USB through door and heat sink access panel, the drive eliminates the need for an external cabinet when only the basic options are needed, thereby saving space and equipment cost.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Palanisamy PL, Director - Sales,

Marketing and Services at Danfoss Drives said, “In the current scenario where India is facing acute shortage of energy, our next-generation variable frequency drive can easily save between 18-20% of the energy input. This can help in reducing the carbon footprint of the industries which proves to be beneficial to both the customer as well as the planet.”

The back-channel cooling facility and the overall reduced size of the new VLT Drive helps in reducing the scale of air-conditioning that is required for the room, leading to major savings in the up-front cost

as well as operational expenses.

90% of the heat losses are exhausted directly outside the enclosure which dramatically reduces the temperature rise and reduces the contamination of the electronic components.

The drives can be utilized across industries such as Cement, Mining and minerals industry, Cranes & Hoists, Sugar, Paper, Chemical, Waste and wastewater management, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning), Marine and offshore, refrigeration, food and beverages industry, lifts and escalators management, etc. which highlights the versatility of the product.

Electric vehicle pioneer favours wireless test rigs Based in Fareham, Hants, Tirius has been built on pioneering work on an all-electric single seat racing car and a series of record breaking vehicles. It continues to bring the latest technology to clients in the form of product design and development and the provision of its range of electric drive systems.

Head of Tirius, Dr Tim Allen, explains: “We are helping the university’s research team develop electric drive train technology typically found in ‘A-Class’ cars, for example urban runarounds and small family hatchbacks. Specifically we are currently looking at permanent magnet traction motors in a number of sizes and configurations, with a view to optimising

electronic control for each motor type.”

The research involves running each motor on a test rig through its full output range and mapping its torque output at many points to build up a performance profile.

The design of the controller can then be matched to the motor characteristics. This should be able to ensure that the motor runs in its optimum operating zone as much as possible, maximises motor life and regenerative braking, minimising wear, and is as energy efficient as possible.

The design of the test rig is in fact quite simple, thanks to the torque sensor, a TorqSense, as made by Sensor Technology in

Banbury.

“We are pleased to promote TorqSense and the guys at Sensor Technology,” says Tim. “We have been using their kit for many years and in many different roles.

The bottom line is that they are easy to use, accurate and great value - partly because they can be re-used once their original project has been completed. TorqSense is a good choice for this work because its non-contact operation allows rapid set-up during the profile building test runs. It also means

extra drag forces are not added to the system, so measurements represent true values and calculations are therefore straightforward For more information Web: www.sensors.co.uk

igus demonstrates safe energy chain systems for new cars

Whether in seating systems, windscreen wipers or electric sliding doors, the electrification of vehicles is steadily increasing. This is due to the new requirements on the part of the vehicle owners as well as to trends in autonomous

driving and e-mobility.

At the same time, the stress on electronics in vehicles, for example, is also increasing with car sharing, which means that safe and reliable energy supply must be implemented. As an expert in high-performance plastics for moving applications, igus has developed appropriate energy chain solutions that guide cables safely even in the smallest of installation spaces.

According to a Forsa survey, one in three motorists spends more than an hour in the car on a business day. The trend shows that this figure will continue to

increase in the coming years due to increasing mobility. The requirements of car drivers are also growing in terms of equipment in their own vehicle. The consequence is an increasing intelligent electrification of vehicles. Whether in window lifters, windscreen wipers, tailgates and cornering lights or in seat systems and sliding doors, control systems in the centre console, displays and loudspeakers. Current trends for the future, such as autonomous driving and e-mobility, also require more and more cables, and with it the need for safe and lightweight energy supply systems.

The electronic systems in the automobile nowadays have to withstand new stresses. In the

globally growing car sharing concept, for example, the door must be unlocked autonomously by means of a chip before each journey. The requirements for autonomous door systems are therefore increasing from a standard 200,000 opening and closing cycles to 500,000 cycles. The number of seat and mirror adjustments per day also increases during car sharing and stresses the energy systems. A fail-safe and long-lasting guidance of the moving cables in very small spaces is therefore required. Here, the use of energy chains from igus is optimal. They protect and guide cables safely even at extreme temperatures.

its achievement. In his acceptance speech, HARTING Charmain of the Board Philip Harting remembered his grandfather Wilhelm Harting, who - as a railway engineer himself - would certainly have been very proud of the award. The Charmain of the Board stressed that the RailsponsibleCSR Award came as a source of both duty and encouragement. “HARTING is theideal partner for quality and sustainability”, said Philip Harting.

The selection was made by a cross-disciplinary jury from the European rail vehicle industry sustainability initiative - Railsponsible. The initiative set itself the goal of implementing minimum social and ecological standards and fair

competition practices at all stages of the supply chain.

Railsponsible members use a common tool to assess their suppliers’ sustainability performance.

The Transportation market is one of most important markets as far as the HARTING Technology Group is concerned. At this year’s 5th Railway Forum Berlin, the Technology Group is exhibiting digitalisation solutions for the rail sector, such as RFID-based wireless temperature monitoring.

HARTING supplies connection technology for the transmission of data, power and signals. Today’s rail vehicles are modular - as a solu-

tion to the huge time and economic pressures on operators and manufacturers. HARTING is pursuing the trend with connectors that enable modular construction. Whether it’s braking, train protection, monitoring and passenger information systems or robust drive links – HARTING has the right connectivity solution for every scenario.

JINDAL STEEL & POWER : The proud brand of India Mr. Naveen Jindal, Chairman - JSPL

Q. Where do you see Angul steel plant in next 5 years down the line?

JSPL achieved its highest-ever revenues in FY 2016-17 backed by the highest-ever steel production. With the substantial steel manufacturing capacity addition in FY 2017-18 after completion of Steel Plant at Angul, we would grow stronger and bigger with every passing quarter.

Over the next 5 years, JSPL’s 6 MTPA integrated steel plant will emerge as one of

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

the country’s most efficient steel manufacturing facility. Most importantly, the operational efficiencies of Angul will play a significant role in the Debt Reduction roadmap of JSPL to be a relatively Debt-Free company over the next 4-5 years.

Q. With the new blast furnace operational at Angul, what kind of steel production expected this year?

The 4 MTPA Blast Furnace, the largest in India,

INDUSTRY FOCUS 47

has doubled JSPL’s domestic steel manufacturing capacities. During this fiscal we will focus on ramping up production at our Angul facility and aim to achieve 80% plus capacity utilization levels in 6-8 months. We aim to produce atleast 5.5 Million Tonnes of Steel during this fiscal in India, which will be 60% more than last fiscal.

Q, Who are the prospective buyers of Angul produce? Do you sell them in a competitive price, better than your rivals like Tata’s & others? (Could you please quote your price per tonne?)

In today’s hyper-competitive world, where supply-demand balances are not only dependent on domestic equations but also prone to global dynamics, market forces drive right pricing of each product category. What becomes paramount is to be the most cost-efficient producer in each of the category of steel we produce.

That is the primary focus integral to the operational excellence philosophy practiced at JSPL. The Integrated Steel Plant at Angul comprises of a 4 MTPA Blast Furnace and a 2 MTPA DRI plant. The 3 MTPA SMS facility further feeds the downstream 1.2 MTPA Plate Mill and 1.5 MTPA Bar Mill Units. We also have substantial capacities of global scale to produce semis.

The price per ton of the diverse range of steel produce at Angul Plant differs substantially.

The Bar Mill caters to the robust demand for the Jindal Panther TMT Rebar range. The Plate Mill at Angul has capability to produce plates upto 5-metre width. The Plates produced at Angul are being used globally in critical applications like Oil & Gas pipelines, Shipbuilding, Pressure Vessels and a plethora of Industrial Applications, where longevity and durability over decades of useful life is paramount.

Q. What is total debt of JSPL till now? What is company’s strategy to reduce debt?

The cancellation of Captive Coal Blocks and payment of an additional levy of over Rs. 3300 crore had come as a big blow for JSPL & other companies in many ways. Firstly, we had to pay the huge amount of additional levy, made applicable since 1993 till 2014, within 3 months.

In such a short time, we were left with no option but to take debt and make the payments under protest. That took our consolidated debt

to Rs. 46000 to 47000 crore levels, and added a significant amount to the interest outgo.

Our domestic steel assets carry a debt of Rs. 24000 crore levels, which is not too high considering the size and scale of assets. The power business under Jindal Power Ltd. with a generation capacity of 3400 MW has a debt of around Rs. 8000 crore. The balance Rs 14,000 crore debt is linked to our global operations that include a 2 MTPA Integrated Steel Plant at Oman and Coal Mining operations of 6.2 MTPA spread across South Africa, Australia and Mozambique.

Today as we speak, all our capacity expansion projects have been successfully completed, without taking any additional debt during FY 2016-17. The focus is now to sweat these assets of global scale to optimum levels. The cash generated over the next 3-4 years will reduce the current debt levels substantially.

Q. As the company was in talks with few players to sell assets, are you still mulling any plan to sell stakes in Indian operations to cut debt? Is there any plan to sell stake in the company’s Oman unit?

JSPL is in the business of selling steel not steel plants. We do keep getting inquiries from multiple players for our world-class assets on a regular basis. We value our assets, and we will continue to nurture them with the same dedication and commitment we have built them over the years. We are open to looking at equity investors partnering in the growth of JSPL at a fair value.

Q. When do you expect the deal with JSW for your power plants be done finally? Is it not taking too much time? What are the issues involved in this regard?

The deal with JSW Energy for sale of a 1000 MW power generation asset at Tamnar is progressing at the desired pace. We aim to consummate the agreement within the given time frame in 2018.

Q. Lastly, could you please give quick comments on steel market going forward?

India has a huge latent demand for steel for its Infrastructure-creation roadmap. Today, the per capita consumption of steel in India stands

around 60 Kg as against the global average of 217 Kg. We do not see any major issues on either the demand front nor the supply aspects.

The most important issue that India has to address is by bringing the duty, royalty and taxation regime for ores at par with global steel producing nations. Likewise, some major steps need to be taken to reduce logistics costs and turnaround times. With the Government all set to give preference to “Made In India” steel for India’s infrastructure creation, we are confident that the much needed policy initiatives to boost the intrinsic strength of domestic steel sector would be implemented in the coming months.

Q. What is your view on the GST regime?

GST is a progressive step that would strengthen the economic fabric of India. The taxation on steel and power sector gets simplified and rationalized to a certain extent. Ultimately, a uniform GST regime is Good for the Country and Good for JSPL. Q. How do you think will JSPL participate in the forthcoming growth of steel sector in line with the National Steel Policy targets of 300 MTPA by 2030?

At this point of time JSPL has created substantial capacities that can cater to the emerging demand for “Made In India” steel. We aim to swear these assets to the optimum levels before embarking on further expansion plans.

Some of our unique product range like Head Hardened Rails, which till now are being imported, can effectively address the rapid creation of Metro and High –Speed trains which are key emphasis areas identified by the government. Likewise, being the country’s only private sector producer of Rails, we aim to participate in the exciting expansion plans of the Indian Railways. With a 1 MTPA of Rail Manufacturing capacity, JSPL can emerge as a reliable source of Rail Tracks in the country’s railroad plans.

Similarly, JSPL’s range of Plates, Beams and Structural Steel products can substitute the current imports substantially to contribute to the success of the Make In India initiative.

By 2030, we would aim to have a higher share of domestic steel production capacity than the levels at which we stand today.

‘India is witnessing tremendous growth in the Solar & Railway Sectors’

Leoni, a leading European provider of cables and cable systems to the automotive sector and other industries, has enhanced its location in Chakan near Pune. The company inaugurated an electron beam accelerator on September 6, 2017, which allows providing high-performance cables to customers from various industries such as railway and solar. In this interview with Huned Contractor, Pushpendra Singh, Managing Director, Leoni Cable Solutions (India) elaborates on the company’s plans of comparatively more expensive, usually more difficult to process, high-performance products.

The e-beam process makes cables, for example, more dimensionally stable when subjected to heat, more resistant to chemicals, solvents and temperature fluctuation as well as harder and more resistant to abrasion.

Mr. Pushpendra Singh, Managing Director, Leoni Cable Solutions (India)

Q. Could you elaborate about the extension of the manufacturing facilities in Pune?

Leoni has invested more than Euro10 million into the expansion of its Chakan location. Now, the combined production area has increased to more than 20,000 square metres and a capacity to manufacture 80,000 kilometres per year of electron beam cross-linked cables, which ensure a higher degree of safety, superior performance and greater efficiency.

In the e-beam process, Leoni treats its cables with extremely accelerated electrons, thus cross-linking their chemical structure. As a consequence, the cables obtain the properties

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

Q.When did Leoni first began their India operations?

We began to develop this market in 2010 with an engineering office and a manufacturing facility for automotive wiring systems. Since the opening of the Chakan cable plant in 2013, we also have a strong foundation in the country with regard to special cables for dynamic industries. Now, Leoni’s new commitment will help us to further innovate and create beneficial solutions for India’s economy. The Chakan facility will drive synergies and economies of scale both for our domestic operations as well as exports.

Q. Why is the company focusing on manufacturing cables for solar equipment and the railway sector?

India is witnessing tremendous growth in the solar and railway sectors with the government’s plan to increase the share of renewable energy in the country and set up high-speed trains and metro railways. Solar power in India is a fast developing industry. As of June 30, 2017, the country’s solar grid had a cumulative capacity of 13.11 GW. India quadrupled its

solar-generation capacity from 2,650 MW on May 26, 2014 to 12,289 MW on March 31, 2017.

The country added 3.01 GW of solar capacity in 2015-2016 and 5.525 GW in 2016-2017, the highest of any year, with the average current price of solar electricity dropping to 18% below the average price of its coal-fired counterpart.

In January 2015, the Indian government expanded its solar plans, targeting USD 100 billion in investment and 100 GW of solar capacity (including 40 GW from rooftop solar) by 2022.

India’s initiative of 100 GW of solar energy by 2022 is an ambitious target since the world’s installed solar power capacity in 2014 was 181 GW. Then there is the scope provided by metro rail installations. The metro rail network in the country is increasing with the mass rapid transit system emerging as one of the best solutions for urban transportation. Even as eight metro rail networks covering a length of 370 km are operational in the country, over two dozen more projects are lined up.The cities that have lined up their plans include Pune, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Vijayawada, Kozhikode, Indore, Bhopal, Patna, Guwahati, Kanpur and Varanasi. All this will definitely open up more opportunities for us since the need will be for cables of the highest quality benchmarks along with emphasis on safety. The new facility will also help us make cables that will last much longer – up to 20-25 years.

Q. Will India also be a hub to export to neighbouring countries?

52 INDUSTRY FOCUS

We are already exporting our cables to the Middle East, Australia, Africa, South East Asia and other regions in the Asia Pacific sector. But yes, the enhanced capacity will support our export drive too. The Asia Pacific region is currently contributing 15-17% in terms of exports and this share may go up in time to come.

Q. Has Leoni also been influenced by the ‘Make in India’ campaign?

Yes, I think the ‘Make in India’ initiative is a step in the right direction. The Indian economy is rising upward and this implies multifarious advantages for the manufacturing sector. We at Leoni think that setting up operations in India has been the right choice because today we have good infrastructure, availability of power and above all, skilled manpower. Also, our belief is that we can contribute to the Indian economy with our operations here. For instance, we have trained a good number of people who are now working on our production floor.

Q. The cable market in India is highly competitive. How will Leoni find its niche?

It is true that the cable industry has many players but there is also the factor that India is growing at a fast pace and there are more opportunities to tap. For example, there is the project of developing 100 smart cities.

This will require a huge amount of cabling.

Further, India is also an automotive hub and companies that make special automotive cable harnesses will continue to find a demand for their products. As for us, we bring with us 100 years of experience and skills. The name Leoni

Solar flat wire

This concept underlines our clear commitment to environmental responsibility across the entire product and value chain.

Q. Will the Pune plant move towards total indigenisation?

Our focus surely will be on complete indigenisation but there are certain raw materials for which we have to necessarily depend on foreign imports. For example, copper ore has to be imported even though the processing is done in India.

Q.Your focus is on solar energy. What about wind energy equipment manufacturers?

We already have a strong presence in that segment too and we have been supplying fiber optic cables to several OEMs in the space of wind energy equipment. Our next target sector would be medical equipment.

Q. Could you provide the latest financial data for the company?

We generally release financial figures for the group as a whole and not specifically for individual regions. Leoni continued its growth trajectory in the second quarter of 2017 and thereby outperformed expectations. Consolidated sales rose by about 8% year on year to Euro 1.24 billion in the period from April to June (previous year: Euro 1.15 billion) and by more than 9% to Euro 2.44 billion in the first six months (previous year: Euro 2.24 billion). Leoni generated most of this growth from its own resources. It was based on the continued, good demand from the global automotive industry. The higher price of copper than in the previous year also exerted a beneficial effect.

ome of you may be unfamiliar with the Mexichem name. If so, then many wire and cable companies in India will probably be more familiar with the name AlphaGary and its products in this market – SmokeGuard Plenum, Megolon LSZH/HFFR compounds, amongst others. In 2011, Mexichem added AlphaGary, with its worldwide specialty plastic compounds sites, to its existing portfolio of plastic compound businesses. AlphaGary’s technology, knowhow and its supply chain capabilities have helped to make Mexichem become a leading global player in terms of innovation, product diversity, international manufacturing capabilities, quality and service.

The big news is that Mexichem’s compounds business has announced the construction of a completely new thermoplastic compounding plant at Goa in India, designed to produce ‘speciality thermoplastic compounds’ (including locally customised products) – with a strong focus on the wire and cable industry. The new plant is expected to be operational by early to mid-2018. In Phase I, the plant is designed to manufacture 12 - 15 KT of plastic compounds every year. This site will cater to customers not only in the Indian sub-continent, but also in the Middle East and ASEAN countries.

Commenting on this development, Sameer Bharadwaj, president of the Mexichem compounds business, said, “We have great faith in the Indian market and in its highly skilled and motivated workforce.

That is why Mexichem is continuing to expand across the sub-con-

tinent. The new plant at Goa will produce specialty thermoplastic compounds based on both PVC and non-PVC polymers, with a strong focus on flame-retardant compounds (specialty PVC-FR and LSZH/HFFR) for the wire and cable industry. In addition to our complete range of existing wire and cable compounds, the site will be geared to meet the specific local needs of our customers in this region. The onsite, fully equipped research and development department that will work on product development projects to support local customers will have access to all global technologies and will work in close coordination with our global technology teams.”

In this interview, Krishna Joshi, VP - Compounds Business, AMEA (Asia-Middle East-Africa), elaborates about the company’s plans for the India market: Q. Could you provide an overview and history of Mexichem’s global operations?

Mexichem is a global chemical and petrochemical company with annual sales of USD 5.7 billion and a global leader in plastic piping. The company contributes to global development by delivering an extended portfolio of products to high-growth sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, housing, datacom, water management, automotive, consumer goods, healthcare, among others. With operations in over 30 countries, 120 facilities worldwide and more than 18,000 employees, the company has a track record of successful inorganic growth through acquisitions such as Amanco, Wavin, Polyone Specialty Resins, Ineos Fluor, Alpha Gary and Vinyl Compounds.

Mexichem has recently announced its intent to acquire Netafim, the world’s largest drip irrigation piping solutions provider, which would make revenues close to USD 7 billion. The compounds business at Mexichem operates

56 INDUSTRY FOCUS

out of sites in the US, UK, Mexico and Colombia and is looking at establishing a new state-ofthe-art compounding facility in India to be fully operational in 2018.

Q. What is the reason for choosing to set up a plant in Goa? We are looking to leverage existing capabilities in Goa where Mexichem’s Dura-Line business already has manufacturing operations and this gives us an advantage from a project management perspective and administrative support.

Q.What is the range of the products that will be produced in the Goa plant?

Our Goa investment will seek to replicate the full breadth of Mexichem’s compounding capabilities to support growth in India as well as the broader Asian market. We will produce compounds for the wire and cable, medical, automotive, consumer and general industrial applications.

Q. Since Mexichem is known for its specialization in wire and cable products, could you provide more details?

Mexichem’s PVC-FR and LSZH compounds designed for a variety of electrical, electronic, and voice and data wire and cable types were

created to achieve the balance necessary for fire performance as well as electrical and mechanical attributes. Whether designing copper or fiber optic cables, our customers benefit from our extensive experience in this market sector from basic flame-retardant PVC materials to low smoke halogen-free compounds intended to support high-speed data transmission. Our extensive list of FR PVC, specialty low-smoke plenum PVC, and low smoke halogen-free (LSZH/HFFR) compounds have undergone rigorous global testing standards on a variety of cable designs. For rugged industrial applications, our TPE, TPO, TPV, and TPU materials offer a variety of features to answer severe weather and environmental conditions.

Q.What is your estimate about the market size for thermoplastic compounds in India?

It is difficult to put an exact number on the market size for thermoplastic compounds, although we do have our own confidential estimates. We believe that the underlying fundamentals of the Indian economy support stable growth.

Q.Will the India plant also cater to exports to neighbouring countries?

The operations we are planning to set up in India will have the ability to serve not only India but also other countries in the region. So, yes we will leverage our operations in India to support growth in neighbouring markets such as the Middle East and South East Asia.

Q. How much will be the initial investment in the plant and associated infrastructure?

We have not disclosed the amount of our transaction

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

publically. We are still working out details of the investment. But our intent and goal is clear and that is to bring to India, the capabilities that have made Mexichem’s specialty compounds successful in other parts of the world.

Q.What will be your strategy for growth in India?

We see Asia and India, in particular, as an attractive and sustainable growth market for specialty compounds due to the increasing need and focus on infrastructure, energy and durable goods related investments. Our growth strategy is to build from our strong capabilities in the US and European markets. We aspire to represent the highest quality in the markets we serve, which will include wire and cable, medical, automotive, and other industrial segments.

Mexichem brands such as Megolon®, Smokeguard®, Garaflex® and Alphaseal® have established themselves as leaders in their markets and our effort will be to reinforce those exact capabilities for the benefit of customers in India and the broader Asian region.

Q.What kind of specific research and development will the India plant undertake for local customers?

As we interact with customers in the region, we fully anticipate a need for local research and development to support domestic growth.

We will invest in building a world class R&D organisation in India focused on delivering solutions relevant to the local market while leveraging Mexichem’s capabilities. Our current plans include investments in material characterisation, performance testing, product and process development as well as applications development and testing support at the customer interface.

A spotlight on clean, smart and renewable energy The Middle East Electricity exhibition will return to Dubai from March 6-8, 2018 at the World Trade Centre. In this interview with Huned Contractor, Anita Mathews, Group Director-Industrial Group, Informa Exhibitions, elaborates about what the show will offer to exhibitors, delegates and visitors

P

Anita Mathews, Group Director-Industrial Group, Informa Exhibitions,

ower was definitely the key word at the Middle East Electricity and Solar Middle East shows held in Dubai from February 14-16, 2017 where exhibitors from around the world showcased the latest products and technologies in the domain of power generation, distribution and transmission and, more importantly, the harnessing of solar energy.

The inaugural half-day ‘Energising the Smart City Conference’ was one of the highlights, featuring sessions on how best to create innovative urban energy solutions. Municipal leaders, electricity solution providers, and research communities participated to discuss how to reach a sustainable energy mix that adequately supports rising energy demands.

The conference explored such topics as how to better manage a city’s energy, how to improve the energy products used by cities, and how to make cities 100% renewable. The show will now return in 2018 with new themes. Excerpts from the interview: Q. What will be the highlights of the forthcoming MEE show?

Although we aren’t carrying our ‘Smart Cities’ theme over to our 2018 edition, we are still very much putting the spotlight on clean, smart and renewable energy for the next year. One of the ways we are supporting this is through a brand-new section of the show called ‘Energy Storage and Management’ (ESMS). When we looked at introducing ESMS as a standalone product sector to our show floor, we were met with some pretty significant indicators that this is what the industry wants. Over 36% of MEE 2017 visitors expressed an interest in energy storage and energy management. There is projected revenue of USD 3 billion in the MENA energy storage market by 2025 and 1.4 GW

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

projected capacity of deployed energy storage in the MENA region by 2025.

Located alongside our solar segment at MEE (formally Solar Middle East), ESMS will offer buyers from across the MENA region a platform to source products and services specifically for renewable energy generation projects. Products such as smart meters, home automation solutions, battery banks (load banks or micro-grids), battery management systems and automotive/e-mobility will all be showcased as we aim to provide an end-to-end offering to our visitors.

Albeit still in its production phase, we will also once again offer a wide range of free-to-attend content streams in 2018. Attendees can learn about the latest technologies at exhibitor-led technical seminars, take a wider look at the industry with our conference series, advance professionally with CPD-accredited workshops, and catch up on essential codes and regulations in the consultants’ arena.

As and how the topics and speakers are confirmed we will be announcing them on our website, so be sure to check in regularly to stay up-to-date. The fifth edition of the ‘Future Generation Competition’ will also be taking place, giving students from the UAE universities a platform to present their own projects and technologies within the renewable energy segment. The shortlisted entries will have the opportunity to present their projects to the public as well as a panel of judges. Due to how well it was received last year, we are keeping the segmented floor plan, making it far easier for visitors to connect with the companies they need to meet. We will also be running a VIP meetings programme for our exhibitors to meet representatives from utilities and municipalities across the MENA region as well as our B2B meetings programme. This will facilitate our ex-

60 INDUSTRY FOCUS

hibitors in making essential connections across the industry and the region.

Q. In terms of figures, how has participation from exhibitors and visitors improved over the years?

The 42nd edition of Middle East Electricity saw a tremendous turnout. Over the three-day event we welcomed over 21,000 visitors across 15 halls covering 78,533 sqm of floor space. In terms of exhibitors, we hosted 1,615 companies from 66 countries, and produced 24 different country pavilions. These figures will give you an idea of the true international reach that Middle East Electricity pulls in every year.

Q. What about lighting products?

We will have a special section for industries engaged in making lighting products. In fact, a huge increase in demand for lighting products and services at the event and a rapidly growing regional market have made the ‘lighting hall’ one of the busiest areas of the exhibition, attracting top level contractors, consultants, lighting designers and more buyers from across the MEA in increasing numbers to source suppliers.

The Middle East lighting market is experiencing a period of significant growth, with rapid

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

acceleration in the adoption of LED technology across the region. Major international events such as Dubai Expo 2020 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022 will guarantee this growth is sustained, with large-scale demand in the hospitality and construction sectors.

The products that will be on display will include aircraft warning lights, indoor lighting control systems, lighting design services, emergency lighting, streetlight control systems, explosion-proof lighting for hazardous areas, lighting control systems, lamps - discharge and special lamps, plugs and sockets, LED luminaires, lighting ballasts, lighting diffusers and louvers, lighting equipment and fittings, lighting fixtures, lighting towers, outdoor lighting and floodlighting, street lighting and poles, and other lighting products.

Q. Will there be any special segment for transmission and distribution companies?

MEE is the international meeting point for all professionals associated with the transmission and distribution of electricity. For more than 40 years the exhibition has been offering a platform for manufacturers and distributors from the entire value chain to meet their clients, capture new business, and network with the

industry. Some of the products that will be on display will include cables and cable management systems, cable installation, electrical distribution equipment, switchgear and control, transformers, instrumentation, test and measurement, safety and protection equipment, power transmission, etc.

Q. Are there any seminars and conferences scheduled for the show? Which are the themes these will focus on?

Leveraging Dubai’s hub location and ambition to become the world’s most sustainable city, Middle East Electricity will build on previous years’ conference content and seminar streams and launch the region’s first ‘Global Smart Energy Summit’. A truly global event, it will unite the region’s government energy sector leaders, regulators, utility companies, contractors, consultants and energy end-users for three days of dialogue though leadership and networking with smart energy pioneers from around the world. The main themes up for discussion at the summit will include regulatory and subsidy reform, transformation through digital technology, demand response, smart cities and urban infrastructure, smart grids, renewable energy, and data and digitization.

echanical and electrical solutions manufacturer NORD Drivesystems, part of the German company Getriebebau NORD, is upbeat on opportunities in India and the region with its wide range of drivesystems for multiple industrial applications. The German family-owned company, founded in 1965, has grown to be a Euro 600 million conglomerate with presence in over 36 countries. After opening a 13,300 sq. metre factory in Pune in 2008, the company has built a strong client base across a number of sectors, including more than 15 airports in the county for their baggage-handling systems as well as coal handling and a number of applications in the manufacturing sector.

Speaking on the sidelines of a recent meeting where the company introduced ‘Extra Mile Service Vehicle,’ an Indian innovation to offer service at the doorstep of the customer, P L Muthusekkar, the company’s managing director, said, “India and the South East Asia are major markets where NORD Drivesystems find application. By default, we are the most preferred choice for various industrial applications and in other segments where movement of material is automated. As the manufacturing sector grows in India, and airports expand, we expect to play a larger role with our systems.” The company’s customers are drawn from various industries — right from steel to cement, from food and beverage to textile. “Our products enable them to achieve that distinct edge,” Muthusekkar said. Excerpts from the interview: Could you provide an update about NORD Drivesystems’ India operations and history?

We opened a 13,300 sq. metres factory in Pune in 2008 after we had established a sales branch in 2005. Our Pune plant has enabled us to provide quicker and more comprehensive sales and customer service in India and all over the subcontinent. NORD customers in India can rely on our strong team of local specialists who serve all states and territories and neigh-

bouring countries; giving support from early planning stages offering total solutions all the way through to delivery, assembly, and regular maintenance operations.

Q. How is NORD Drivesystems gearing up to meet such demands?

Today customers expect highly energy-efficient products with a complete focus on total cost of ownership. In addition to reduced energy consumption, all energy-efficient NORD motors feature a very durable, low maintenance design.

In terms of power saving, the maintenance cost is reduced up to 40% and while considering the oil change interval the maintenance cost is 300% lesser as the intervals are fewer. NORD fulfils all of the current efficiency regulations and supplies a wide range of energy-saving motors for the international market, with which operating costs can be considerably reduced.

The company’s research and development team focuses on product improvement and meets all the customer expectations. High-efficiency NORD products clubbed with efficient gearboxes that are used along with super-pre-

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

mium efficiency motors and intelligent variable frequency drives (VFD) is the perfect formula for up to 40% energy savings for our customers.

The NORD heavy-duty, one-piece housings are precisely machined for this purpose. They are sturdy in terms of design and can take more loads. The casings also have less mechanical components that reduce any chances of failures of the device.

Q. What is the company’s expansion strategy for the next 2-3 years?

Our recent innovative step has been the introduction of the ‘Extra Mile Service’, a service vehicle we have planned to expand in terms of providing after-sales service all over India. This will be based on customers’ needs where it is not possible to send the products for servicing to our factory.

Also, under the aegis of the ‘Make in India’ programme, there is a continuous flow of new projects that industries are developing and our production is geared up to meet that demand.

In the future we are also planning for additional investment for warehousing and next year we are planning for expansion in Chennai in order to cover and service the market in the southern part of the country.

Q. Does the company export its products and solutions to neighbouring countries?

If so, could you provide the percentage of exports to total sales?

The company does cater to countries in South East Asia like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, etc. NORD is a well-known brand in gear motors and gear boxes that uses the best of German technology and therefore we have set our roots in many regions. On an average, our export grows by a significant percentage annually.

Q. Are there any emerging sectors that the company would like to tap?

Railways and defence equipment are the key emerging sectors in the near future in India and NORD is seeking to grow its business to tap the opportunities that will be available.

Q. What innovations in terms of products, after-sales market or promotion can your clients expect this year?

As mentioned earlier, ‘Extra Mile Service’ is a service vehicle that we launched in August to focus on after-sales service. Meanwhile, two new variable frequency drives were also launched in the month of July in India in the out electrical drives product category. We have also started offering new additions in sizes of our industrial gear units in order to cover the maximum range possible.

‘Numeric is extremely bullish on Indian UPS market’ Numeric, a leading UPS manufacturer and a power quality solution provider, is sensing huge opportunities in the Indian UPS market given the emphasis on digitization and infrastructure.

The company recently launched new products targeted at Datacentres, IT, industrial, healthcare, office and commercial sector. To know more about the company’s India-specific strategy, Shweta Nanda spoke to, Palash Nandy, Chief Commercial Officer, Numeric, who gives us an insight into the latest trends in the UPS segment, Numeric’s aggressive growth vision and its unique differentiator. Excerpts:

Palash Nandy, Chief Commercial Officer, Numeric India,

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

Q. How has the UPS market evolved over the years? Update us about the recent trends emerging in the segment?

Indian UPS market has witnessed significant growth over the past few years and currently stands at Rs 2,200 crore. When we closely look at different segments, it is the three phase and modular UPS segment that has been on a upward trajectory with 5-8% growth rate, while single phase has reported a flat growth and line interactive has shrunk by 5-6%. The de-growth of line interactive can be attributed to decreased usage of desktops. Having said that, line interactive is projected to see growth in the coming year as it will find newer applications in smaller ATMs, CCTV units, etc.

When we talk about the sectors, datacentre, IT-ITeS, infrastructure, healthcare, education (specifically distance learning) and government have been at the forefront in driving the growth. With the evolution of technology, user expectations and requirements from UPS systems are also fast evolving. Broadly speaking, there are four key customer requirements. First and foremost, they expect UPS systems to be energy-efficient—promising higher efficiency with less CO2 emissions. Secondly, just as with any other product, there is a strong demand for UPS systems with compact footprint. Also, there is a noticeable trend, wherein customers expect UPS systems to have communication functionalities so that they are able to monitor and maintain the system efficiently. Lastly, more and more customers today expect their UPS systems to be environment friendly.

Q. UPS segment is a fiercely competitive marketplace, what is your niche? How do you stand out from the competition?

What sets Numeric Group apart is a combination of two amazing advantages. Firstly, Numeric became a part of Legrand Group in 2012, which gives us complete access to Legrand’s global expertise. Secondly, we have a strong experience of the Indian market and are precisely aware of the customer requirements. So, global expertise coupled with local experience and knowledge is actually a perfect combination that we have, which is extremely difficult to beat. We like to call ourselves a ‘Glocal’ player.

Another amazing benefit of Numeric is our broad and strong product portfolio and exemplary service. We are perhaps the only company with a wide product portfolio from 600 VA to 4.8 MVA catering to diverse applications ranging from small projects to large datacentres. This is further complemented by our extensive service network. We have 254 service centers and 900 field technicians, who are completely in-house and this is what we truly consider as Numeric’s asset.

We, at Numeric, are constantly engaged in maximizing value for our customers in terms of technological advancement, maximizing customer friendliness in terms of ease of product usage, installation, commissioning and after sales services and provide customers the right service back up. We do not believe in only price competition. We are working hard to provide the best price vs value proposition to our customers.

Q. How do you perceive India as a market?

Comment on the opportunities and challenges that you see in the country in the UPS segment?

We at Numeric, as well as Legrand Group as a whole are quite bullish on India. We have a plenty of reasons for that. India is experiencing fast economic growth and is one of the youngest countries in terms of workforce. UPS segment is projected to see further growth in

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

the coming years, given the country’s emphasis on digitalisation and infrastructure. The government’s smart cities project will lead to further requirement for datacenters, which in turn will lead to increased demand for UPS. On the flip side, there are definitely a few challenges.

In the past there was a lack of standardization. Since March 2016, Bureau of Indian Standards made it mandatory for all UPS models, upto 5 kVA, that are sold in India to be registered with BIS. Recently, in continuation of the process BIS has started surveillance activities to ensure its implementation. This would result in better adherence to product standards and customers will be assured of the right products.

GST implementation would also ensure that the incorrect commercial practices of some of the unorganized players are discontinued.

The power condition specially the power quality is a big challenge and needs special adaptations to the products. Our strong R&D helps us in dealing with it.

Q. What are your views regarding the government’s Make in India initiative. How is your company contributing towards the campaign?

Make in India is a great initiative by the Government of India targeted towards sustainable economic growth. Globally, we have enough examples that show that nations that have strong manufacturing are registering sustainable growth. Numeric has been manufacturing in India since the last 32 years. Today, 80% of our revenue is generated from products manufactured in India through our seven plants. Local manufacturing has always been a strength of Numeric and we will continue to build on the same. We also have strong local R&D based out of Chennai.

Q. Tell us about your new product line and India-specific products.

We recently launched KEOR Series of Three

Phase UPS - Keor HP and Keor HPE, one-stop solution for IT, industrial, healthcare, office and commercial sector. Keor HP and Keor HPE are designed with advanced technologies and latest generation components. These intend to satisfy both user and installers by providing ease of maintenance and safety; capital preservation and reducing operating expenses. It has a 3-level IGBT inverter design that helps to improve the inverter efficiency and overall efficiency thus reducing the operational expenses. High input power factor and Low THDi reduces the cost of electrical infrastructure. Multi DSP controller in the products helps the UPS to respond faster. Intended for use in large datacentres and colocation facilities, the Keor HP and Keor HPE can offer solutions between 60 kVA to 4.8 MVA requirements.

Q. Please update us about your future vision and growth plans for the company.

Numeric is already one among the three biggest UPS manufacturers in India. We have been rated as the number one in Line Interactive and Single Phase in India for the past 24 years. In the last two years we have also become one of the biggest players in Three Phase and Modular UPS. We plan to continuously design new products and engage with all stakeholders of the UPS market like specifiers, IT heads, system integrators, installers, facility managers, end users etc. Our growth is driven by innovation, design and user-friendliness in our products, which are the keystones of our brand philosophy.

Ador Powertron embarks on ambitious growth plans

Mr. Somnath Singha, MD, Ador Powertron Ltd.

The Pune-based Ador Powertron Ltd., a part of the Ador Group, is on a growth trajectory. The company formed in 1986 absorbing the power electronics division hived off

by Ador Welding, thrived on two major products namely High Voltage Rectifiers and High Current Rectifiers. HVR and HCR found their applications in electrostatic precipitators used in power plants.

Thus the company’s focus became more pronounced in clean air systems. No wonder the company is using the base-line ‘Peace of Mind’ in all its communications defining the benefit it offers to its customers at large. “‘Peace of Mind’ is what you get when you use Ador products, says Somnath Singha, the effervescent Managing Director of Ador Powertron, which has added three more product groups to its

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

portfolio. One is Security Systems comprising CCTVs and UPS. These products are meant for the safety and security of people and buildings alike.

Ador’s foray in to the Traffic Business came as a natural corollary. This again was within the ambit of safety to bring peace of mind and safety on Indian roads.

Its Variable Message Signs jetting out on highways caution rash drivers. Under Traffic, Ador has introduced Crash Barriers or Rollers which are placed in accident prone turns. These are designed to withstand multiple pressures and hits.

These barriers prevent the vehicles from toppling and save the lives of drivers. Attenuators on trucks or vehicles alert the drivers and help them to be extra cautious. The fourth division of of the company offers products & systems which are strategic and help in intelligent border management. The high range cameras help in electronic surveillance of the border spanning 5 km from the control room, thus obviating manual patrolling.

The company also supplies mill grade UPS systems for power backup. The modular UPS, either solar or normal type, cater to power banks. “We also supply critical power sources for warfare,” states Somnath Singha.

Quantum Leap The turnover of the company which was hovering at around Rs.40 crores in previous years soared to Rs.90 crores last year.

“We are now growing at a rate of 50-60% year on year. And if everything goes well, we must achieve a turnover in the vicinity of Rs.350 crores in the next 5 years,” declares Somnath Singha in quiet optimism.

When asked as to what are the steps being taken to achieve this goal, the MD has this to add: “In terms of infrastructure, we are fully geared. We have two modern plants in Pune. For manufacturing clean air systems, our existing production set-up has enough capacity. Our Traffic Division is just eight months old. For this Division, we are shortly installing

the latest production equipment including a Robotic System sourced from Japan, Europe and China.

Similarly, for Security Systems, we are getting sophisticated manufacturing tables, test equipment, etc. from Japan, Taiwan and Korea.

We shall also go in for additional qualified manpower to work in sync with these systems.

Ador Powertron has a workforce of 135 people as of now – a seasoned and dedicated lot who are trained to excel in everything they do. The veterans work shoulder to shoulder with the new generation people who are found to be a bit impatient for everything,” says Singha. “Since we are in high tech manufacturing and in the niche market, 90% of our people are engaged in product development and manufacturing. The remaining

86 INDUSTRY UPDATE

10% is looking after sales & service.

The industry norm is in the ratio of 60:40.”

Growth Strategies As part of the growth strategy, Ador Powertron is embarking on

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

new technologies, increasing product-lines, using Internet of Things (IoT) to make systems talk to each other, and QR codes are embedded to help talk to the system to ascertain the specifications and history of service or maintenance requirement.

Ador’s clean air products are going to power plants, state electricity boards and direct customers like L & T, NTPC, Alstom, etc.

Clean air is a steady and established business for the company with a market share of 63%. Ador Security products are going partly to the Government and partly to direct customers like L&T, Wipro, HFCL, Sterlite, etc.

The company’s Traffic products are mainly B2B. L&T and Mahin-

dra & Mahindra are some of the major customers. Ador Powertron is said to be the only manufacturer in India having all the relevant international certifications including UL, CE, ROHS, EN, etc. The Defence products are of course exclusively B2G. The company is also exporting its clean air products to some 74 countries across the globe.

“Today we are in a unique position where others are benchmarking us for quality and reliability,” reveals Singha. The company is very strong in understanding the customer requirements and in subsequence product development, manufacturing, quality assurance and operational efficiency. It is also strong in value engineering.

The company considers people as its major asset.

The company is quite upbeat

about its new product lines namely Security, Traffic and Defence which are hitched to growth driven markets. The smart cities and infrastructure development programs initiated by the Government are expected to give a new fillip to the company’s business.

“The business dynamics and environments are changing fast.

We have to adjust ourselves to these changing scenarios and also keep pace with the emerging trends in technologies. Like in the country, in an organization too leadership is everything. Thought process should be on. Human assets should be managed well.

People have to be mentored and transformed in to champions. We must indulge more in engaging customers by giving the right solutions, we have to develop a strong vendor base and supply chain, and finally we have to keep all stakeholders happy,” remarks the managing director.

leaning of contaminated parts and components is an absolute must to bring the parts to their original working condition.

It increases the operational efficiency. If the volume of cleaning required is massive, manual cleaning is ruled out. One has to opt for mechanized cleaning so as to avoid downtime and enhance productivity.

Gala Precision Engineering, known for its standing and reputation for over 25 years, offers one stop solutions for deburring, finishing, washing & cleaning of machinery parts on a mass scale.

“When you switch over to machine cleaning, you save up to 40% on expenses incurred on

account of parts cleaning,” says Anand Kaundanya, Chief Operating Officer, Gala Precision.

Gala, known for its profound domain knowledge and vast experience, conceptualizes, designs and builds cleaning machines, most of them customized to suit specific requirements.

Steps to optimize savings Gala recommends the following four steps to optimize savings in the industry: • Switch over from manual process to mechanized cleaning: In case of multi-stage cleaning, one can achieve substantial reduction in labour cost. This also enables improving productivity of the cleaning operation and consistency of the cleaning process.

• Regular preventive maintenance of machines: With this simple step, expensive breakdowns and downtime can be avoided.

This results in lower maintenance costs.

Regular maintenance also saves on investments on inventory of spares.

• Optimum consumption of compounds: With regular cleaning of filter bag and systematic maintenance of oil separation mechanism, the bath life can be enhanced drastically, thus resulting in reduced chemical usage.

Maintaining specified process parameters like temperature, cleaning consistency can be achieved over a long period of time.

• Controlling power consumption: Gala offers special compounds which work on low temperature / room temperature. This leads to substantial reduction in heating load.

Optimum design of heater banks will enable savings in electricity and the power cost.

Perfect remedies Gala has a number of case studies quantifying

90 TECH TRENDS

Gala’s Phosphating Plant

the savings achieved in specific applications at customers’ places. One such case is the solution it provided to a customer for removing oil, loose chips and burr from mine hammer assembly parts where the input contamination was 10 mg Millipore and the output cleaning requirement was 2mg Millipore. The client was using manual wash involving high labour, improper cleaning, lower productivity, and high cleaning cost. Gala studied this problem and recommended a Multistage Ultrasonic Cleaning System using the Alkaline degreasing

compound as the cleaning media. The process involved ultrasonic cleaning in the first stage, rinsing in the second stage and hot air drying in the final stage. The result was excellent. The client acknowledged the three tangible benefits viz. (a) Uniform cleaning (b) No manual intervention, and (c) 70% Reduction in labour cost.

In the 2nd case, the component was a Brake pad which had to be cleaned from dirt, dust and oil, achieving an output of 2.8 mg Millipore. The client was using cloth and manual cleaning. Gala supplied a Conveyorised Spray

Gala’s Multistage Ultrasonic Cleaning System

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

Washing Machine and an Alkline degreasing compound for spray wash, rinsing and hot air drying. This enhanced the productivity by 80%.

In the 3rd case, the components involved were Aerosol Aluminium parts which needed to be kept free from heavy drawing oil, dust, dirt and dull finish inside. The party was already using Vibratory finishing and manual cleaning. Gala recommended switch over to Two Stage Ultrasonic Cleaning and Steel ball vibratory finishing. The degreasing, was done using Alkaline compound as the media. With this the customer could achieve 100% oil removal without any manual intervention. The finish turned out to be consistent and the productivity also improved substantially.

In yet another case, the problem posed was removal of heavy grease, oil and dirt from bearings. The client was using spray wash up to 10 bar resulting in insufficient and inconsistent cleaning. Gala offered them a Conveyorised Multistage High Pressure Spray Washing Machine involving processes like high pressure spray wash up to 10-12 bar, rinsing and hot air drying. This resulted in 100% removal of grease and oil, and uniform cleaning.

Delighting the customer The above are only some recent examples of Gala’s comprehensive solutions that delight the customer. As of now, the company has over 5000 systems installed in India and abroad which are giving peak performance at customers’ places.

Gala’s product range includes Multi-stage Ultrasonic Cleaning System, Cylindrical Rotary Screw Spray Cleaning System, Single Chamber Multi-Process Cleaning Equipment, Phosphating Plant, Vibratory Finishing & Washing System, Vibratory De-scaling, Degreasing & Drying System, etc. Gala provides surface engineering solutions to sectors as diverse as aerospace & defence, automotive, precision engineering, consumer products and so on. It has an ever-growing customer base. “At least 40% of our business comes from repeat orders.

That’s proof enough of the high quality of our products and services endorsed by our customers,” remarks Anand Kaundanya .

Pulsed MIG/MAG welding and its advantages over conventional MIG/MAG processes

P

ulsed MIG/MAG welding is a variant of the conventional MIG/MAG welding process in which the current is pulsed.

Pulsing was introduced originally for control of metal transfer at low mean current levels by imposing short duration high current pulses. The cycle consists of applying the repeated pulse current over a constant background current: Modern welding sets permit the use of a wide range of pulse amplitudes, durations and waveforms at frequencies from a few Hertz to a few hundred Hertz. Pulse amplitude and duration are best combined to melt and detach a single droplet of the same/slightly smaller diameter as the electrode wire. Selection of pulse parameters for a given wire feed speed is a complex operation. Pulse height and duration are a function of wire composition, diameter and to a lesser extent, shielding gas composition. This has lead to the advent of Synergic welding sets. Synergic MIG/MAG (GMAW) welding is a variant of pulsed MIG/ MAG welding. A synergic welding set provides unit current pulses to detach identical molten droplets of predetermined volume from the electrode wire, combined with the other parametric relationships necessary for stable wire burn off. Unit pulses are unique to a given

material and wire diameter and their details are programmed into a synergic welding set.

Modern sets contain a variety of consumable and wire diameter combinations, including programmes for flux and metal-cored consumables. The three essential characteristics of synergic operation are: • Pulse parameters are selected automatically.

• Pulse frequency or duration is directly related to wire feed rate.

• Electronic control of parameters ensures uniform penetration and weld bead profile.

In practical terms, this allows an operator to pre-select wire material and diameter once for any welding operation, then adjust the one control that governs wire feed rate. The ‘one knob’ operation synonymous with this type of power source is the principal advantage of such a system compared to conventional non-synergic sets, which require that the pulse parameters (pulse frequency, peak/background current etc.) be individually set for a given wire feed speed. Thus synergic welding sets offer the advantages associated with pulsed MIG/MAG welding, combined with a ‘welder friendly’ control system. Synergic control is also used in conventional MIG/MAG, in which the voltage

is adjusted in relation to the wire feed. It is now possible to buy a ‘synergic wire feeder’ which performs this function in conjunction with a standard rectifier power source.

Advantages provided by pulsing machines include: 1) Wire and gas savings: Pulsed MIG machines offer a wider operating range because they extend the low and high range of each wire diameter. For instance, before the operator would have to stock .035”, .045” and .052” wire diameters for varying applications, but with Pulsed MIG, .045” can be extended on the low end and top end range so that it can be used for a variety of applications.

What this means is that rather than having two or three different sized wires, an operator would only require one. Having one wire type minimizes inventory costs and reduces changeover times. The same is true with shielding gas – one gas can reach both the low and high ranges of the application. In addition, the different types of spare parts (gun, gun tips, liners, etc.) are decreased for additional cost savings.

2) Spatter and fume reduction Compared to Conventional MIG, Pulsing offers reduced spatter and fume. Reduction in spatter translates into significant cost savings because more of the melted wire is applied to the weld joint, not as surface spatter on the product and surrounding fixtures. This also means less clean-up time. A reduction in the welding fumes creates a safer and healthier environment for the entire plant or shop.

3) Heat reduction Pulsing offers controlled heat input leading to less distortion and improved overall quality and appearance which means fewer production problems. This is especially important with stainless, nickel and other alloys that are sensitive to heat input.

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

94 TECH TRENDS

and step off, among others are controlled in a precise manner so that when there is a change in the process set-up, there is a corresponding change in waveform configuration.

4) Improved productivity Pulsed MIG offers high deposition rates. In addition, since the new machines are simpler and adaptive, it is easier to weld with pulsed MIG than other transfer methods, less time is spent training.

Equipment Selection Pulsed MIG welding has evolved quite a bit since it was first introduced to the marketplace.

In the 1980s, it was a highly complex process that could only be performed by the most skilled welders. That was because the operator would have to know exactly how to set the machine for the correct wire feed speed to perform this type of welding. Today, this is all done for him or her as part of the synergic control.

When the operator adjusts wire feed speed, the synergic operation adjusts the wave-shape and frequency automatically.

The synergic operation of the machine makes it easy to use, even for the beginning welder, with a single knob that controls all operations. In addition, its sophisticated internal electronics are even “adaptive” to adjust for variations in stick-out, gap or the torch angle.

5) Better quality All these advantages of Pulsed MIG outlined above result in overall better quality of the finished and a more stable arc. In addition, operators are receiving a better quality working environment since they are not dealing with fume, spatter & extra clean-up or grinding time. One more benefit is that synergic power sources allow for these high quality welds to be achieved by those with relatively less training.

Pulsed MIG Compared to Other Transfer Methods Short Circuit In short circuit, the wire touches the work piece and shorts to itself. This is the coldest form of welding that still offers good fusion. Short circuit allows operators to weld on both thick and thin material in all positions. It also has the benefit of a small, quickly solidifying puddle. Its disadvantages include limited wire feed speed, and deposition rates. There is also a danger of “cold lapping” on thicker metals. This is where there is not enough energy in the puddle to fuse properly. Short circuit also produces an increased amount of spatter over the other transfer methods.

Globular The globular transfer mode is basically uncontrolled short circuit. It is characterized by a large volume of weld metal coming off the electrode. These large droplets are pinched at the arc and drop into the puddle. This method of transfer produces a tremendous amount of spatter as well as high heat input. Also, globular is limited to flat and horizontal fillet welds.

Less fusion is often common because the spatter disrupts the weld puddle. Also, because globular transfer uses more wire, it is generally considered less efficient. On the positive side, globular transfer runs at high wire feed speeds and amperages for good penetration on thick metals. Also, it can be used with inexpensive, CO2 shielding gas. It is used mainly when appearance is not an issue.

Spray Arc Spray arc propels small molten droplet of the electrode to the work. It is a pure CV process that must produce enough current to send a constant stream of metal off the electrode. Its advantages include high deposition rates, good penetration, strong fusion, good weld appearance with little spatter. Its disadvantages include high heat input, a limited range of welding positions and proneness to burn-through on thin materials.

Customization of the Waveform

Conclusion :

To take the pulsed MIG process a step further, complete customization of the welding waveform can be done through state-of-the-art Waveform Control Technology. This technology allows the power source to be finely tailored to the wire and process. The power source rapidly adjusts the pulse waveform for superior welding performance. It does this by providing a fast or slow front edge on the pulse to transfer the droplet at the proper rate, the back edge then falls at a controlled rate to add the heat needed to wet the droplet to the puddle.

With Waveform Control Technology®, built-in templates are set up in the power source for standard usage on a variety of materials.

Variables such as ramp rate, peak time, tail out,

Cost savings, better quality, improved productivity and easier operation…all these factors make Pulsed MIG an option that should not be overlooked. Although the high price tag may scare you, carefully weigh the initial investment with the benefits that will be derived over the long term. Take advantage of the new technological advantages provided by Pulsed MIG – one machine to handle virtually any application, flawlessly.

Energy Efficiency in Compressors

by Anvar Jay Varadaraj, Head – Marketing and Corporate Communications, Elgi Equipments Limited Compressors - the evolution Compressors’ breadth spans rudimentary mechanic shops powered by decades-old reciprocating compressors to large scale vertically integrated textile units powered by high volume centrifugal compressors. The basic technology is simple. Powered pistons, screws, or impellers compress a volume of atmospheric air to a required pressure for an application. The design and use of compressed air systems have evolved to suit the industry needs. Over years, manufacturers have worked to overcome the inefficiencies of delivering compressed air and to simplify the user experience.

Compressed air and power consumption Compressed air is inefficient. Fossil fuels are more efficient in getting work done for the same amount of energy. However, compressed air is among the best ways to safely store and use energy. Thus, compressed air has remained a prevalent energy source for industry. Manufacturers have innovated to reduce lifecycle cost, improve reliability, and improve air quality.

The Table below shows the typical lifecycle of a compressor. Nearly 75% of the cost incurred over a ten year period comes from the power consumption.

Right size for efficient operations Bigger is not better for compressed air. A screw compressor should continuously “load” or produce air for maximum efficiency. A compressor will continuously load when its air production capacity matches the air requirement. For example, if a compressor produces 500 CFM but the air requirement is only 300 CFM, then the compressor will be in unload condition for a significant portion of time. Screw compressors are inefficient in the unload condition and thus a larger

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

compressor will consume more energy than a right sized compressor for a given air requirement.

The table below illustrates the difference in power consumption between a right sized compressor and one that is too large for the requirement.

To be appropriately sized, customers should demand a sizing audit from manufacturers so that the recommended machine matches the requirement.

Variable Frequency Drives for Varying Consumption Right sizing is sufficient for those customers with stable air demand, but how about those customers who have varying demand patterns during the day or those customers who anticipate an increase in manufacturing capacity requiring more air? Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) can address both situations. A VFD works by reducing the compressor motor’s speed to lower flow to match the actual air demand of the customer and there by consume lower power when compared to a fixed speed machine which would unload in the same conditions, thereby significantly reducing unload energy consumption.

A few manufacturers offer compressors with in-built VFDs while other manufacturers offer systems that can be retrofitted.

The table below illustrates the power savings with a VFD

100 TECH TRENDS

To evaluate the need for a VFD, customers should demand a sizing audit from manufacturers along with relating a fairly accurate view of upcoming changes in air demand. With this information, manufacturers should provide a lifecycle cost comparison of a VFD solution along with a payback period based on the energy savings.

Managing a Dynamic Air Distribution System Thus far, the discussion has centered on compressed air generation.

Specifically, best practices in selecting a machine for energy efficiency.

However, the biggest area for air wastage and thus energy inefficiency is the distribution system. Specifically, the way in which the compressed air is transported and used in the end application.

Efficient Compressed Air Line Design Line Design – Simply, the shorter the distance from the compressor to the application the better. In addition, minimizing bends and kinks en route to the application, reduces pressure drops and thus improves the efficiency of the system The diagram below compares an inefficient line design versus an efficient design

weaken joints and can result in leaks. Leaks lead to higher energy consumption owing to air wastage.

Air Audits for Compressed Air Management Air audits evaluate the efficiency of use of compressed air in an operation. Air audits can identify energy savings from better compressor selection, improved line design, arresting leaks, and optimizing usage. Compressor manufacturers and independent air audits are capable of conducting air audits. While methods vary, an air audit expert will use flow meters and leak detection devices to evaluate an operation’s air usage. Typically, they will spend sufficient time to gain a representative understanding of varying demand conditions.

Following the analysis, they will issue a report with a summary of the potential savings along with recommended changes and associated costs to realize the savings. While compressor selection, line design, and line monitoring have been discussed, air auditors will also review the nature of use. For instance, operators in compressed air intensive operations such as textiles will often use a higher than required pressure to operate their machinery. An air auditor might test these machines at lower pressures, and if there is no disruption, the mill operators can continue to operate at a lower pressure, thereby enjoying energy savings. In addition, an air auditor may also recommend against using compressors for energy wasting applications such as cleaning.

The report below is an example of a summary air audit report that shows a textile operation’s before and after energy cost following an air audit.

An Efficient Compressed Air System

Line Material – Plastic, aluminum, and steel are used for piping, with steel and aluminum being the most popular in India. While steel is cheaper than aluminum aluminum offers benefits such as lower weight and corrosion resistance. Compressed air contains trace amounts of oil and water, which can cause line corrosion, which in turn result in pressure drops and thus degrades the efficiency of the system. Also, compressed air lines are dynamic in that they are constantly vibrating owing to the passage of compressed air. Over time, these movements

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

Setting up and sustaining an efficient compressed air system requires a monitoring process. Following intelligent compressor selection and delivery design, customers should assign an in-house air expert who is sufficiently trained to monitor the operation’s compressed air usage.

Specifically, the expert should work with the compressor manufacturer or an independent air auditor to periodically review the company’s air usage to identify areas for improvement.

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

T

he MRS1000 simply offers more. With its integrated field evaluation, the 3D LiDAR sensor, also called 3D laser scanner, can detect on four layers at one time. It can therefore be used for a variety of applications and reduces your storage costs and expenditures for different variants – and all this without restrictions on measurement accuracy. Equipped with modern HDDM+ technology, it evaluates three echo signals and always ensures stable and detailed measurement results with up to 165,000 measurement points per second, even under adverse ambient conditions. The reliability of this device, packaged in housing with enclosure rating IP67, expands its performance range with the “outdoor” dimension, thereby increasing its flexibility in use.

More layers for more performance The MRS1000 stands out due to its high performance. It allows for scanning over four spread-out layers at a horizontal aperture angle of 275°, and can even measure at different angles nearly simultaneously. The layers are arranged horizontally, one on top of the other, and fan out from the sensor. At a distance of 20m, for example, they cover an impressive height of 2.70m. The fields can be easily configured on one plane and projected on the other planes. The MRS1000 therefore has a much more detailed level of visibility than a 2D LiDAR sensor.

The MRS1000 can not only detect in two dimensions, but can also measure in three dimensions using the additional layers. The SOPAS ET configuration software or a web server is used to display the data. More data on several planes in a three-dimensional space results in high coverage and greater reliability.

With its angular resolution of 0.25° and at a 50Hz sampling rate in four layers, the MRS1000 detects up to 55,000 measurement points. With three echo values, a total of up to 165,000 measurement points are available per second.

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

I

n the railway sector, the efficiency of transportation and passenger safety enjoy maximum priority. Every part of the train must guarantee excellent reliability and counteract any factors that may have negative consequences (dirt, temperature fluctuations, vibrations, bad weather, and intense, prolonged use of mechanical parts of wagons). The safety concept plays a key role in this regard: a door that does not open can cause a train stoppage that, besides representing a serious problem, turns into an economic loss. Constructors therefore need robust components, able to last for a long time, with low maintenance requirements.

In fact, one should not forget that modern trains can travel at very high speeds, which gives rise to significant forces: components must limit wear as much as possible and guarantee safety. Customiza-

tion is also essential, in order provide a flexible answer to every design need: often components have to be housed in ever tighter spaces, or integrated with structural parts that may differ from one train to another, even in terms of design.

Rollon’s linear and telescopic rails meet all these specifications and are used both inside and outside the train to manage movements for numerous applications. They stand out for their high load capacity, sliding quality, shock and vibration resistance, long lifespan, great rigidity, ease of assembly, and low maintenance. In order to guarantee the utmost conformity to its clients’ application needs, Rollon backs up the products shown in its catalog with a high degree of customization, combining various profiles, surface treatments, or material processing, such as hardening and grinding the raceways.

Specifically, induction hardening, which is called for as standard for many linear and telescopic rails, is a procedure that guarantees great resistance to loads and wear over time,

114 TECH TRENDS

providing significant advantages in railway applications. Rollon hardens the rails on raceways to a depth of up to 1.2 mm and a hardness of between 58 and 62 HRC. In addition, in order to guarantee excellent results, Rollon uses carbon steels that are able to provide excellent results during the hardening process.

Rollon provides safety, easy sliding, and long lifespans for an expanding market The railways is one of the long-standing, established applications for Rollon’s linear systems: the types of products most often used in this sector are linear rails and telescopic rails, which come in various straight and curved formats.

Rollon is known on international markets for rails intended for devices used to open and close the external doors on trains. This particularly critical use calls for guaranteed high resistance to fatigue, wear, and vibrations, and very high dependability. Rollon’s Compact Rail product handles ejection of the doors and works for more than 1.5 million cycles (opening and closing), working perfectly throughout that time.

Compact Rail is a system made using linear rails in cold drawn steel, with induction hardened and ground raceways. The linear rails are fitted with radial ball bearing sliders, also made of hardened steel. Compact Rail has compact dimensions, withstands impurities, and is fast (up to 9 m/sec) and silent. It is easy and economical to install on all surfaces, even if rough, thanks to its capacity to deal with misalignment of up to ± 4 mm.

Sliding, on the other hand, is usually handled

by Rollon rails made of cold drawn steel, with induction hardened raceways and ball recirculation or caged ball bearing cursors. This solution ensures a high load capacity, is particularly easy to install, and guarantees optimum operating even in the presence of shocks and vibrations.

The knowhow Rollon has acquired in this area, as well as the performance of its products, are also used successfully for applications inside the train, due to the wide array of solutions. Opening and closing of inside doors and fire doors also call for very precise, silent movement systems, that guarantee 500,000 cycles. For this case, Rollon offers its Easyslide rails, with induction hardened raceways and recirculating ball or caged ball bearing cursors, which are also used to adjust the tables in the business area, and the seats inside the wagons. Seat tracks are an interesting case of cross competence: very advanced know-how initially developed for the aircraft industry, which was then transferred to the railway sector as well.

For opening the train’s nose cone, the curved doors in the VIP rooms, and toilets for passengers, Curviline is used, the line designed specifically for curved movements, which also guarantees silence and resistance to dusty environments. This type of rail, made using steel galvanized in accordance with ISO 2081, is fitted with one or more cursor(s), and 4 precision steel bearings, lubricated for life.

Finally, the X-Rail Guide range, in AISI 316 stainless steel, stands out for its excellent resistance to corrosion, and is effectively used for moving items associated with drinks and food on board trains, in addition to pull-out tables in economy class. Where these particular requirements do not apply, the Light Rail products are particularly recommended. These are telescopic rails that can carry limited loads and are easy to use. They come in steel and aluminum, and in a wide range of sizes. They are easy to install and have a good load capacity.

SIDEBAR RollonAlloy anti-corrosion treatment: 720 hours in saline mist In recent years, Rollon has invested in researching surface treatments in order to guarantee maximum resistance of their components to corrosion. The RollonAlloy anti-corrosion treatment is a particularly effective formulation for counteracting humidity, exposure to bad weather, and high thermal fluctuations.

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

Components treated reach the milestone of 720 hours in saline mist (test done according to the ISO 9227 standard). This result makes them particularly suitable for applications located under the floor of the train, such as extracting the battery housing, and fire-fighting or air-conditioning plants.

The various test phases Inside a test chamber, the railway samples are covered in a (5%) sodium chloride solution with a pH of 6.5 (at a temperature of 35 °C) by a misting nozzle. The evaluation is done at preset time intervals The quality of the surface protection is measured based on the test time and the integrity conditions. Trivalent chromium plating, in conformity to the Rhos standards, can be applied to the surface of all types of Rollon linear rails, and acts as a real protective coating / barrier on metal parts, significantly reducing maintenance work and costs. Needs in the railway sector can vary greatly, depending on the type of application and the working environment: for this reason Rollon also offers other types of surface treatments, such as electrolytic galvanizing and chemical nickel plating, always in conformity to current international standards.

SIDEBAR Measuring Hardness value Hardness is defined as a material’s resistance to deformation, indentation or penetration. One of the ways it can be measured is with the Rockwell hardness test, which involves measuring the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load. Measured on a “C” scale, the value for Rollon’s bearings falls between 58 and 62 HRC.

This consists of a base unit and, if necessary, expansion modules with safe inputs and outputs, the number of which is displayed in table form. The integrated feasibility check stops the user selecting expansion modules incorrectly: only the modules supported by the inserted base unit are made available for selection. The PNOZmulti Configurator also provides assistance if the permitted number of expansion modules is exceeded or if modules are positioned incorrectly. Online help is always available during configuration.

When configuring the safe user program the programmer has access to all safety functions in the form of certified graphic function blocks.

All that’s needed is to link these to match the logic that is to be implemented.

The PNOZmulti Configurator downloads the entire safety program on to a chip card.

The chip card does not necessarily have to be inserted in a base unit. The program can also be copied via an external read/write device.

Subsequent modifications or adjustments are quick and easy to implement via the Configurator. As a result, the configurable control system PNOZmulti is as simple as a PNOZ, but as flexible as a controller. Compared with conventionally wired solutions, users can save a considerable amount of time and costs – in all engineering phases – during design, configuration, commissioning and maintenance. To-

day the PNOZmulti is the world’s most widely used configurable safety system, which has since developed into a multifunctional small control system that can be seen in practically all areas of automation technology.

PNOZmulti also has diagnostic options, which guarantee short downtimes and high plant availability. Various diagnostic options are also available, for example, via the fieldbus system, via the operator terminals PMI and via a display integrated into the base unit, using the diagnostic concept PVIS.

The new product range PNOZmulti 2 10 years after introducing the PNOZmulti to the market, Pilz has now launched a new product range with PNOZmulti 2. The housing width of the new base unit is just 45 mm, rather than 135 mm. There are still 20 safe inputs available, up to eight of which can be configured as standard outputs, plus 4 safe semiconductor outputs (each with PL e). With the new illuminated display you can save time and costs during configuration and diagnostics and reduce the engineering work. Use of the PNOZmulti 2 is particularly economical from three or more safety functions. As with the PNOZmulti, the configurable control system achieves PL e / SIL CL 3.

The base unit PNOZ mB0 has an extremely reduced power consumption and so is particularly efficient, enabling the user to save up

to 80 % of energy in comparison with similar products.

Modules for flexible application The base unit in the product range PNOZmulti 2 can be expanded on the right-hand side with up to four input and output modules. As a result, the number of safety functions that can be implemented also rises considerably.

So PNOZmulti 2 provides flexibility in terms of both the size and the individual requirements of an application.

The modular configurable control system PNOZmulti 2 can be expanded to the right of the base unit with various input/output modules. There are modules with eight safe inputs and four safe semiconductor outputs, modules with 16 safe inputs and an input/ output module with four safe inputs and four safe relay outputs. On the left hand side of the base unit, a range of communication modules provide the option for data exchange with diverse standard control systems. The serial RS232 or the TCP/IP interface, which also supports Modbus TCP, can be combined with one of the fieldbus modules PROFIBUS-DP or CANopen.

The modular design of the hardware and numerous additional function modules not only guarantee sufficient development reserve but also make the configurable control system PNOZmulti 2 extremely flexible to use.

Open for all control systems The various fieldbus modules enable communication with a range of higher level standard control systems. Thanks to a standardised interface on the base unit, the user can configure data exchange without having any fieldbus-specific knowledge. So PNOZmulti 2 can also be used as a worldwide safety standard for all plant and machine types.

The configurable contacts of the base unit for PNOZmulti 2 also give users with smaller applications the opportunity to download data to operational control systems, without immediately having to invest in a fieldbus module.

Use of the configurable contacts can be defined directly as the safe user program is created. As a result you can have up to 12 standard outputs, which forward the signal states of individual functions to the corresponding standard evaluation unit. This means that machine operators can select the operational control system that suits their individual needs and don’t need to worry about how safety is connected.

MACHINE TOOLS

ESPRIT delivers solutions for Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing DP Technology is helping factories of the future prepare for the digital transformation that’s taking place in manufacturing, with solutions including digital twinning, digital threads, machine-aware manufacturing, knowledge-based machining and cloud-enabled databases.

I

n order to prepare factories for an increasingly digital future, and to better support Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing initiatives, DP Technology is focusing on a range of solutions to drive automation in manufacturing.

The ESPRIT® CAM System enables manufacturers to streamline their workflows, prevent silos from forming during the manufacturing process, increase tool life and machine utilization, and create greater access to practical knowledge for process improvement.

Digital twin ESPRIT allows users to create a digital twin of their machine tools for programming, optimization and simulation. This virtual machine ensures that whatever happens on screen will also occur on the shop floor. Workpieces and cutting tools are set up virtually, resulting in exacting simulations, greater productivity and better toolpaths for higher quality parts.

This photo illustration is an example of a digital twin, showing a blend of real life and a virtual simulation of a main shaft being machined on a 5-axis machine.

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

Digital thread With ESPRIT, a digital thread ties together each step of the workflow from CAD design to finished part, ensuring that none of the manufacturing process is siloed. ESPRIT reads part data from CAD software and creates machine-optimized G-code and setup sheets, which it then passes on to shop floor management, tool data management and enterprise resource planning software.

Machine-aware solutions ESPRIT provides machine-aware CAM programming to increase tool life and reduce cycle times. The CAM system’s ProfitMilling® and ProfitTurning™ apps represent a fundamental change in the way toolpath in created: most CAM software works from the shape of the part first and considers the machine last, if at all.

ESPRIT machine-aware solutions first consider the machine tool – its axes positions and their limits, acceleration, and attainable and requested cutting speeds, allowing users to run machines faster, get a better surface finish on their parts and significantly increase their tool life. As a result, with machine-aware CAM, programmers make better choices regarding toolpath, without asking the machine tool or cutting tool to exceed their own abilities.

Knowledge-based machining

Knowledge-based machining, the term for artificial intelligence built directly into a CAM system, makes it possible to significantly cut programming time by capturing best practices, including machining processes and cutting conditions — leaving more time to focus on strategic process improvements and reducing time spent on repetitive tasks. ESPRIT’s KnowledgeBase™ solution streamlines part programming by automatically selecting the optimum processes — machining cycles, tools and conditions — for part features based on proven best practices. Recording practical knowledge via KnowledgeBase™ is more reliable than leaving it to memory and allows for higher levels of automation through repeatable steps. Because programming is more predictable and consistent, programmers encounter fewer problems and produce higher quality parts.

Cloud-enabled machining As shops move to data-driven manufacturing, integration with cloud-based databases, such as MachiningCloud Inc., further facilitates access to knowledge, product data, resources and process controls for machines, cutting tools and work holding. These cloud-enabled databases suggest factory-recommended feeds and speeds for a given cut, let users quickly find the tools they need, and provide continuously updated manufacturer product data, including drawings and models of tools and cutting tool assemblies for simulation. Because information is stored in the cloud, it is always up to date, available on demand and can be accessed anywhere.

AUTOMATION

Exchanging metal 3D printing solutions with HiETA Technology from Renishaw is helping HiETA to move metal additive manufacturing (AM) from prototype manufacture into commercial production of its specialist range of heat exchangers

T

he recent addition of Renishaw’s RenAM 500M system at HiETA has enabled manufacturing times and, therefore production costs, to be reduced dramatically.

The RenAM 500M is a laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing system designed specifically for the production of metal components on the factory floor. As well as incorporating a powerful 500 W laser to give faster processing than earlier models, the new equipment features an automated powder handling system that enables more consistent process quality and reduced operator time on the machine.

Background

Micro-turbine range extender project, MiTRE, cuboid heat exchanger

SEPTEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

HiETA was founded in 2011 to develop metal AM methods for the production of complex, light-weight structures for various types of heat-management applications. Parts manufactured include recuperators, turbo-machinery and combustion components for micro gas-turbines, phase-change heat exchangers for fuel cells and integrated waste-heat recovery systems, and components for highly-efficient internal com-

bustion engines, including turbo-machinery and sections for handling exhaust gases.

Stephen Mellor, now Lead Project Engineer at HiETA, became the company’s first employee after an approach by the directors, who had registered some patents on using additive technologies to produce heat exchangers. He had first become involved with AM while studying engineering at Exeter University, UK and, subsequently, specialised in research on the technology for his PhD. HiETA now has more than twenty-five staff and an impressive range of facilities that can together cover the whole AM product development process, starting with a review of the customer’s requirements, and then moving from an initial design through to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite-element analysis (FEA), manufacturing with the Renishaw equipment, testing and validation.

Challenge Traditionally, heat exchange products are often made up from thin sheets of material that are welded together. The complexity of the designs makes production both challenging and time-consuming, while the material used for the welding process adds to the overall weight of the part. Prior to the work at HiETA, little research had been undertaken into the use of AM for the manufacture of heat exchangers. The initial challenges were, therefore, to confirm that AM could successfully generate sufficiently thin walls of the required quality and, then, to produce a complete component with the complexity of a typical heat exchanger.

The third challenge was to use the knowledge and experience developed to move the process from the manufacture of samples and prototypes into low-volume production.

Solution

CASE STUDY 125

HiETA invested in the more powerful RenAM 500M to enable more costeffective production of commercial components in low volumes Build chamber, RenAM 500M metal additive manufacturing system

HiETA chose to partner with Renishaw and to use Renishaw’s AM250 system across a range of projects. Firstly, HiETA worked closely with Renishaw to develop specific parameter sets for the production of leak-free thin walls in Inconel down to thicknesses of 150 microns. Both companies produced samples using a variety of settings on the AM250 at Renishaw’s facility in Stone, Staffordshire and the system at HiETA’s base on the Bristol and Bath Science Park near Bristol, UK. The resulting samples were heat treated and then characterised at HiETA and Renishaw. The test results enabled the companies to confirm the optimum parameters on the machines for thin-walled structures and also allowed HiETA to develop a design guidebook with parameters for heat transfer in heat exchangers manufactured using laser powder bed fusion technology.

Having achieved a leak-free integral wall, the next stage was to move to a complete, full-size unit, which could be completed in a reasonable build time. Two projects were undertaken, both with the participation of UK-based vehicle integrator Delta Motorsports, in Silverstone. The first was a cuboid heat exchanger (recuperator) to be used as a range extender for electric vehicles. The second aimed to take the design of the components to higher levels of complexity beyond the traditional cuboid shape. More complex shapes can improve product performance and cycle efficiency, give benefits in packaging, and reduce costs. The design chosen for this stage was a recuperator of annular form that could be wrapped around other components and contain integrated manifolds to give a more compact overall system.

As well as allowing further optimisation of the Renishaw equipment to handle the larger samples, HiETA used these projects to develop an extraction process for removal of excess powder material from the cores of the heat exchangers.

thin-walled structures successfully and to provide the parameters needed to predict the performance of heat exchangers manufactured with the Renishaw equipment.

Results The first result of the partnership between HiETA and Renishaw was to produce the basic data needed to set up the AM equipment to produce

126 CASE STUDY

Cross section of SLAMMiT recuperator

The thermal transfer and fluid flow data that resulted has been incorporated into the CFD and finite-element analysis programs used by HiETA. These programs can be used for an initial assessment of the likely performance of new component designs and thus confirm that the proposals have the potential to meet the customer’s requirements.

At the same time, Renishaw has added software improvements, both to facilitate processing of the large amounts of data when the complete recuperator is sliced into thin layers and to create the build instructions needed for the complete part. The first attempt at making a complete product on the AM250 system generated a successful component but needed a build time of seventeen days. Following improvements

to the hardware and software, together with optimisation of the process parameters, this was reduced to eighty hours.

Detailed testing showed that the component would meet the requirements in terms of pressure drop and heat transfer. However, this performance was achieved with a weight and volume approximately 30% lower that an equivalent part made by conventional methods.

“With almost all of our projects, we are trying to light-weight components and solve thermal management issues,” explained Stephen Mellor.

“Through our partnership with Renishaw, we have produced components that are typically around 40% lighter and smaller by volume than anything equivalent that is available on the market. This is possible because, with the Renishaw technology, we can design and manufacture many novel and high performing surfaces integrated into a single component. This would be very difficult to do with conventional methods.”

Following the success with the Renishaw AM250, HiETA invested in the more powerful RenAM 500M system to enable more cost-effective production of commercial components in low volumes. “We are now producing parts for engines with real commercial applications and for customers with very demanding requirements,” he continued. “We use Renishaw’s AM technology to produce very complex parts that give high performance at competitive prices.”

G.C. Evans appreciates capable support provided by NORD DRIVESYSTEMS NORD configures reliable, lowmaintenance drive units featuring application-specific options, which has been appreciated by the client

A

manufacturer of bespoke machines for the food and beverage industry, US-based mechanical engineering company G.C. Evans has come to appreciate the dedicated and capable support provided by their drive supplier, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS. NORD configures reliable, low-maintenance drive units featuring application-specific options.

Standstill is a word that smacks of bitter losses to the beverage industry. For drive technology in this sector, high availability and easy maintenance are therefore absolutely essential. David McNamer, manufacturing manager at G.C. Evans Sales & Mfg. Inc., a US-American manufacturer of cooling and heating equipment for the food and beverage industry, explains: “If a beverage pasteurizer were to have a drive failure, you are not only talking about lost product in the unit, but stopping a production line to the tune of potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour.

I do not want to worry about our drives and I do not want our customers to either. That is why we choose NORD. In 2008, we decided to give NORD drives a chance, and were in for some very pleasant surprises: Not only were the units less costly than comparable competitors’, but they were really high-quality and well-engineered units. What impressed us the most was the level of service we received from NORD. We are always dealing with a single engineering contact within their company.” Today, NORD drives are used in all G.C. Evans machines. NORD is one of the world’s most experienced gearbox manufacturers with an industry-leading product range featuring variable gear ratios, flexible installation options, and wear-free gearing. NORD configures low-maintenance, sturdy drives for G.C. Evans, implementing application-specific feature options ranging from special gear¬ lubricants to vent plugs that help prevent leakage.

This drive system features various special options to meet the hygiene requirements of food processes: a very durable stainless steel finish, a food-grade gear lubricant, a vent plug, and an oil sight glass. The pressure relief vent plug from NORD regulates the air pressure in the gearbox when it heats up and cools down.

The NSD-x3 severe-duty coating, which NORD only offers in the United States, provides extra hard-wearing, long-lasting external corrosion protection for the drives supplied to G.C. Evans. It consists of two primers and a stainless steel (316) saturated silver-gray polyurethane finish.

The solvent-based paint ensures increased durability. Completed by a clear top coat, the coating achieves a very high overall resistance to blows, scratches, heat, moisture, and also to industrial solvents such as lacquer thinner, acetone, gasoline, lubricants, and cutting oils.

Sturdy, low-maintenance shaft mounting

low-shaft parallel shaft geared motor is mounted on the machine shaft with a Gripmaxx bushing. The bushings developed by NORD are mounted on the drive shaft simply by means of a few screws, with no need to make any changes to the machine design. A tutorial on the NORD YouTube channel demonstrates how a Gripmaxx bushing is properly attached.

Jason Jones, director of engineering at G.C. Evans, explains why this was the optimal mounting method for the pasteurizer: “This roller is removed every few years to service the bearings and for maintenance. A more traditional keyway-secured bushing may be quite problematic, since fretting and corrosion make it very difficult and sometimes expensive to remove. With the Gripmaxx solution from NORD, the hollow bore simply collapses on to the shaft. Removal of the shaft is then grab-a-wrench simple.” While load fluctuations and start/stop or reverse mode operation put strain on keys and can loosen conventional bushings over time, FEM-engineered Gripmaxx bushings spread the forces evenly over the entire contact surface. In contrast to standard shrink discs, NORD’s Gripmaxx bushings are available for many different combinations of inner and outer diameter, and therefore require no expensive custom designs.

Nexgen Refrigerated Air Dryers The Nexgen Refrigerated Air Dryers from Gem Equipment are known for engineering excellence, innovation and reliability.The heat exchangers are designed to provide worry-free, highly efficient heat transfer whether you are processing simple fluids, viscous solu8tions, or particulates. They feature honey comb construction of aluminium fins, true cross-flow for greater effective temperature differences, nonclogging larger cross-sectional area for air flow, integral air-air and air-refrigerant exchanges, with stainless steel demister moisture separator, robust non-corrosive grade aluminium, and larger heat transfer area for higher efficiency.

The rugged electronic panels display both inlet and dew point temperatures. They incorporate a Tripper module with alarm for compressed high discharge pressure, compressed low suction pressure, expansion valve malfunction, auto drain valve function and fan motor cycling.

Introduction of speed control is one of the major developments towards the optimization of refrigeration systems based on average load. For periods of high cooling demand, the compressor speed can be increased which results in a higher refrigerant flow

and thus higher cooling capacity and vice versa during periods of low cooling demand. Compressed air purification equipment must deliver uncompromising performance and reliability while providing the right balance of air quality with the lowest cost of operation. As a quality-centric group, Gem ensures that its dryers are test at each stage of assembly as per ISO 7183 or relevant standards. It maintains stringent engineering practices throughout the production process to achieve higher reliability. Gem’s state-of-the-art ISO 9001-23008 certified facility is equipped with dedicated men and machines to chisel out products of impeccable quality and reliability.

O-Rings of dimensionally accurate, excellent workmanship & finish.

APPL’s Silicone, Viton® & EPDM Encapsulated O-Rings with FEP encapsulation are designed to address the growing problem of sealing in the most hostile chemical & temperature environments. It combines the best qualities of FEP material on the outside with its chemical inertness & an elastomer on the inside for resilience. This unique combination forms a highly effective, long lasting seal for the most demanding applications.

This O-Rings are comprised of FEP over Silicone, Viton® or EPDM & can be used in temperatures from -75°F to +400°F (- 60°C to +205°C)

depending upon the choice of elastomer core.

Why are Encapsulated O-Rings needed?

There are certain applications which prohibit the use of conventional rubber O-Ring seals.

The use of hostile chemicals or extreme temperature (both high & low) during various processes can make effective sealing very difficult. The main advantage encapsulated O-Rings have over solid P.T.F.E. is that it has the chemical inertness whilst with its energising core, the O-Ring returns to its original form.

Elesa+Ganter: Linear motion Machine sliding doors or plant components of special machinery – these elements, often real heavyweights, can hardly be moved without linear guide systems.

Elesa+Ganter has not one, but several new models in its standard range.

At the start of the leading technology trade fairs for mechanical engineering and automation engineering, standard element specia- list Elesa+Ganter presents its latest extension to its product range: linear motion bearings and roller guide systems, elements which are virtually indispensable in applications involving mechanical engineering and handling technology.

Linear motion bearings are structured similar to radial ball bearings. They have an outer rail in which a runner moves in linear direction, kept in the proper

distance and position with roller bearings and a cage. Different models are available for different applications in which the traversal distances of the runners are either inside, partly outside or fully outside the rails. In the fully retractable “telescope” linear motion bearings, two linear motion bearings are linked directly or via intermediate profiles.

Roller guide systems are made up of one outer rail with rollers or roller carriages moving inside these rails. There is a choice of 3 roller carriages which differ in terms of attachment, material and sealing and which are equipped

148 PRODUCT SHOWCASE

with 3 rollers in the standard design. The rails are available either as floating bearing rails or as fixed bearing rails and in two types of mounting holes. High traversal speeds and excellent running smoothness are the outstanding features of these roller guide systems made by Elesa+Ganter.

The use of high-quality

antifriction bearing and heat-treatment steel and the anticorrosion zinc plating guarantee low wear and tear and a long service life.

Both, the linear motion bearings and the roller guide systems are available in 3 or 4 nominal sizes, in standard lengths, ex warehouse and – on request – also in customized lengths.
