CEO CORNER Digital Manufacturing : The new wave Digital manufacturing is the use of an integrated, computer-based system comprised of simulation, three-dimensional (3D) visualization, analytics and various collaboration tools to create product and manufacturing process definitions simultaneously. Digital manufacturing evolved from manufacturing initiatives such as design for manufacturability (DFM), computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), flexible manufacturing, lean manufacturing and others that highlight the need for more collaborative product and process design. Many of the long-term benefits from product lifecycle management (PLM) cannot be achieved without a comprehensive digital manufacturing strategy. Digital manufacturing is a key point of integration between PLM and various shop floor applications and equipment, enabling the exchange of product-related information between design and manufacturing groups. This alignment allows manufacturing companies to achieve their time-to-market and volume goals, as well as realize cost savings by reducing expensive downstream changes. Current initiatives in the development of digital manufacturing tools involve improving the user experience, so that information is presented in the context of tasks performed, allowing users to make better decisions faster. Steps are being taken to provide direct connectivity with shop floor hardware, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), machine controllers, computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines and others. Unified platforms have also been developed to manage both PLM and manufacturing execution system (MES) information. Digital manufacturing can help manufacturing companies improve their productivity in both manufacturing planning and production processes. Digital manufacturing enables product, process, plant and resource information to be associated, viewed and taken through change processes, with a consistent and comprehensive approach to production design, hence it becomes the new wave to improve production efficiency & profitability. Considering the latest developments in the field of automation, digital manufacturing will play critical role & proves to be booster for profitability of businesses,

ELGi’s innovative campaign #ConquerK2 hits the target of 28251 miles at the Coimbatore Marathon Leading compressed air solutions company, ELGi designed an inventive HR campaign to promote physical fitness and encourage participation in Coimbatore Marathon 2017. Held on October 1, Coimbatore Marathon is an annual initiative to raise awareness towards cancer and donate proceeds to Coimbatore Cancer Foundation. ELGi has been supporting the sports event since 2014. The Coimbatore based multinational recently announced its aim to be World No. 2 in the air compressor business. This collective aspiration of the company — dubbed as ‘Conquer K2 Challenge — was the theme for ELGi’s drive to raise awareness towards the Coimbatore Marathon. ELGi employees across the globe were challenged to collectively contribute 28,251 miles of running, biking, swimming, or walking over a period of two months. The target figure 28,251 is derived from the height of K2 - the second tallest peak in the world, located in the Karakoram section of the Himalayas between Pakistan and China.
OCTOBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
AnvarVaradaraj, Head of Marketing and Communications at ELGi elaborates on the significance of Conquer K2: “K2 is the second highest peak in the world but arguably the toughest to climb. It’s a fitting symbol for ELGi’s aspiration to be the world’s second largest air compressor manufacturer. As a company, we’re incredibly passionate about our goal. So we thought of channeling this drive...this enthusiasm of our employees into an engaging and productive activity. Our campaign’s goal was to scale 28,251 miles; we got the number from the height of K2 and it immediately struck a chord with everyone here at ELGi.” From the younger generation at ELGi to top ranking officials in their 50s, the marathon fever caught on as more and more people began to engage with the campaign and contribute their miles. Over a period of two months, the company saw an overwhelming organic response with 1400 employees rallying together to contribute their miles towards the initiative. People started to
share their journeys with pictures and videos of their contribution on social media that served as an effective tool for spreading the word. The campaign gained traction in ELGi’s global offices with employees clocking in miles from USA, Italy, Middle East, Thailand and Indonesia. Interestingly, several dealers of ELGi products worldwide were motivated by the campaign and came forward to contribute to the campaign. ELGi also organised a fitness drive for students at the ELGi Matric Higher Secondary School in Coimbatore. Fuelled by the enthusiasm and determination of ELGi’s people across the globe, the company
completed 28251 miles on October 1, just in time for Coimbatore Marathon 2017. “We saw a number of first timers train and run their first marathon this year; one of our employees revived her passion for biking after eight long years; colleagues were coming together with their families on Sunday mornings to run as a group on the streets of Coimbatore. It was inspirational to see so many people associated with ELGi work relentlessly towards a common goal. It’s a testament to what we stand for as a company,” says AnvarVaradaraj. ELGi’s Conquer K2 Challenge proved to be an ingenious engagement campaign that helped motivate employees not only to pursue their professional goals in the organisation but also their physical welfare. Additionally, the activity on social media served to increase visibility and raise awareness towards a good cause. The determination and perseverance of the company spells good news for ELGi’s future goals. Currently number 8 in the global air compressor market, the company feels positive that it will achieve World No. 2 position in the next 10 years. - P. K. Balasubbramaniian

Bosch Packaging Technology introduces latest addition to AFG series As part of an exclusive machine presentation in Crailsheim from September 18 through 29, 2017, Bosch Packaging Technology introduced the latest addition to its AFG series. The filling and closing machine for pharmaceutical powders in glass vials offers manufacturers a wide range of options. “During development, our main focus was on flexibility,” explains Dieter Bandtel, product manager at Bosch Packaging Technology. “With the AFG 5000, customers can choose between several different versions and various features. In addition, we have significantly increased the output rate in the high-performance segment.” Based on a single machine platform, the system can accurately fill both large and small amounts of powder. Customers have the choice between one filling point for an output of 160 containers per minute through to three filling points for up to 480 vials per minute. Thanks to the vacuum-compressed-air filling system, the output remains high even with small filling
amounts. For all versions, customers can choose between statistical or 100% in-process control of dosing weights. “To optimize efficiency, we have developed a new, flexible transport system for the AFG 5000,” says Bandtel. “While the vials are continuously fed into the machine, the transport system adjusts the speed of the following processes to precisely match the rhythm of the individual work stations.” Whether filling, weighing or closing of vials – each stage is optimally paced. The new vertical transport system was designed to prevent idle time or
bottlenecks. Rotating carrier systems, known as shuttles, transfer the vials quickly and safely to the respective work station. Once the vials have been sealed and taken out of the system, the shuttles quickly return to the infeed, ready for the next transport run. In addition to flexibility, we particularly focused on compact design during the development of the AFG 5000. “Our customers’ powder filling takes place in class B cleanrooms, where every centimeter counts in terms of operating, maintenance and cleaning costs,” explains Bandtel.

C astrol. “Castrol is committed to carbon reduction worldwide, and w ith Optigear Synthetic CT 320 and S ynthetic X 320 certified as carbon neutral, our customers can now address those concerns without sacrificing performance. Using these carbon neutral gearoils, m anufacturers can reduce emissions at first fill and operators
can cut their long-term carbon footprint”. Castrol achieved carbon neutrality for Optigear S ynthetic CT 320 and Synthetic X 320 through careful analysis of the entire product lifecycle, from production, through to transportation and eventual disposal at the end of its service life. Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for Optigear are achieved through investment in projects world w ide that aim to reduce net CO2e over time. This is administered by BP Target Neutral5, BP’s not-for-profit carbon management programme which sources carbon offset credits from projects that are either putting in place CO2 reduction schemes or absorbing the equivalent amount of CO2 from the atmosphere.

tests carried out in Pokharan on May 11, 1998. Next, it was an award from the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture in the form of the G S Parkhe Award for Innovation in Entrepreneurship. The citation read: “Sameer Shinde, Milind Wani and Laxmikant Trivedi, founders of Vikarsh Group (2003), had a dream to indigenously develop high-performance magnetic material in India. The dream was realised after a consistent effort of about five years and in December 2014 these products were successfully manufactured by the company. “These products have passed all international quality and environmental standards and have
proved to be five times better in performance as compared to existing available material in India and have caused an estimated savings of foreign exchange of USD 2 million and more in the last financial year.” The company was also awarded ‘The Best Product Developed by an Indian Company’ at Bangalore during ELECRAMA 2016. For the three founders, it has been a long round of celebrations galore and more than anything it is the satisfaction of having finally achieved what they wanted. Nano and amorphous ribbons are the outcome of complex engineering techniques. Vikarsh Nanotechnology & Alloys has become the first Indian company to develop these products in India for which the Indian industry was largely dependent on imports. The products are widely used in the electrical industry (metering cores, protection cores, LV switchgear cores, reactor cores), electronic industry (SMPS cores, IGBT cores), solar industry (solar reactor cores), welding industry (high-frequency welding inverter cores), nuclear industry (protection and metering cores), defence sector (missile guiding cores,

radar and signalling system) and the medical equipment industry (X-ray machines). Elaborating about how the company came into being, Sameer Shinde says, “I, Milind Wani and Laxmikant Trivedi have been friends since our days of studying in an engineering college. After gaining individual experience of working with MNCs, we started a firm to make magnetic cores, which, incidentally, was our final year product during the electrical engineering course. In 2009, a quiet revolution was started with soft advance magnetic material used in the electrical and electronics sector. This is almost five times superior material as compared to conventional steel but the technology to make it was available only with two companies, Hitachi Metals and Advanced Technology & Materials Co., China. There was no access to this material by Indian companies and it was difficult to import it. This is where we thought of filling the gap and our research led to us to finally produce it in India for commercial and technological self-reliance of the nation.” These products are now a vital part of industries where sensing and measuring is required. Being packed with much superior properties as compared to conventional soft magnetic materials, designers can work on

new dimensions for various products, as for instance, BS-4 in the automotive industry. It is of use in four-star electrical transformers and can help in saving power as well as reduce global warming and carbon footprints. “The technology to manufacture these products is super-critical and involves a combination of engineering branches. It took us five years of intensive research and development and we first tested its commercial viability in December 2014. We can now proudly state that we are the only company making this product,” Shinde states. “One of our big achievements was that we became the only Indian company approved by PGCIL for metering cores up to 765 KV. Now, leading industry houses like ABB, General Electric, Siemens, Toshiba, Crompton Greaves and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited have approved the usage of nano-crystalline ribbons and amorphous ribbons made by us. We are soon planning to enter into an agreement with GE to supply these products globally to all the six countries where it has manufacturing facilities. We have some definite plans to start exporting this product,” he adds. The enterprising entrepreneurs are now
busy developing new grades of these materials with unique features and also new product lines for solar reactors and power supply units for high-frequency appliances since core parts for these applications are still imported in India. The company is planning to sign MOUs with engineering colleges to develop new metallurgical products. Speaking about the investment this has entailed, Shinde says, “The first phase of development leading up to commercial production called for an investment of about Rs 200 million. We now have two verticals of Vikarsh viz. Vikarsh Stampings and Vikarsh Nano Technologies & Alloys and there have been huge investments in our magnetic core manufacturing facility. In fact, we are the only company of its kind to have a combination of conventional and advance magnetic material at one place.” As for the kind of growth that the company envisions for these materials, Shinde says that constant efforts are being made by the government to upgrade the electrical and electronics equipment industry and this has, and will, trigger demand for advanced materials like amorphous ribbons. “Our prediction is that the demand could go up by five times from the present 20,000 MT to 1,00,000 MT by 2020.”

n the early 1900s, it was discovered that transformers could be used in the arc welding process, which was in its beginning at that time. It took several years to work through various electrical designs to be able to control the arc, which also brought about the need to create covered (or coated) arc welding electrodes, a process that is commonly referred to as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) or stick welding. The inverter based welding power source is one of the welding industry’s most important technology advanc-
es of the last two decades. This new era of technology that centered on electronics, coinciding with the growing popularity of personal computers. As the electronics and software industry grew, engineers soon realized that software-controlled inverters could be used to weld, opening up a new world of possibilities. As you all know that, Industry IoT 4.0 is a name for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive

computing. Industry 4.0 creates what has been called a “smart factory”. Within the modular structured smart factories, cyber-physical systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the physical world and make decentralized decisions. Over the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans in real time, and via the Internet of Services, both internal and cross-organizational services Kemppi is a pioneering welding company in the world. Kemppi Introduced the new Innovative X8 MIG Welder, first time in the world Which supports Industry IoT 4.0 revolution technology. Covers it all, from synergic and pulsed MIG/MAG and stick (MMA) welding to MIG brazing, cladding, and gouging. The intelligent equipment provides you with extremely precise control of the arc, high-duty welding performance up to 600 A, and connectivity with WeldEye welding management software. Unsurpassed usability based on actual user needs are designed and manufactured in every aspect of the power source, wire
feeder, welding guns, user interface, and other components. It has best arc characteristics for high speed and aluminum (WiseFusion), narrow gap (RGT), root pass (WiseRoot+), thin sheet (WiseThin+) and the new special application software WiseSteel. It challenges related to the globular transfer are now tackled. This is achieved by alternating short arc transfer with spray transfer, which reduces spatter, increases travel speed, and produces high-quality welds characterized by regular fish-scale pattern. In short-circuit transfer, Wise Steel adaptively improves the arc stability, thus providing better out-of-position welding capabilities. The X8 MIG Welder redefines ergonomics in welding guns: the hand grip, mobility, and stability have been optimized to meet the requirements of the most demanding welding tasks. Many standards such as ASME, AWS, and ISO 3834 require the use of WPSs. The industry tradition has been to use printed WPSs, which doesn’t necessarily match today’s quality and performance requirements. The X8 MIG Welder’s ability to use WPSs digitally
redefines this process. Connecting the X8 MIG Welder to the WeldEye cloud service allows for the use of digital WPS (dWPS) and makes printed WPS documents unnecessary. It allows welders to search, view and activate WPSs on the Control Pad’s display and automatically use the right parameters during welding. The WPSs are transferred from the WeldEye software over the Internet to the X8 MIG Welders on the shop floor. This revolutionizes WPS management in welding production from both the welder’s and welding coordinator’s viewpoint. In addition, the Control Pad serves as a reader device. It can be used to collect fabrication information for verifying that welding is carried out according to WPSs, and analysing welding productivity based on arc time tracking.

he Automotive Industry is one of the largest in the world and accounts for 7.1 per cent of the Indian GDP. At around USD 93 billion it amounts to approx. 30% of the turnover of the manufacturing sector and is a very important component of India’s growth story.India manufactured more than 25 million automobiles in FY17 and is a prominent auto exporter with strong export growth expectations for the near future. Around 47000 crores have been pumped into the auto industry in the last year alone and that is nearly a third of the current Indian automotive market. Car makers, both domestic and foreign, have lined up investments of almost $10 billion or nearly Rs. 60,000 crore over the next few years. Several initiatives by the Government of India and the major automobile players in the Indian market are expected to make India a leader in the two and four Wheeler market in the world by 2020. The Government plans to promote eco-friendly cars in the country i.e. CNG based vehicle, hybrid vehicle, and electric vehicle and also made mandatory of 5 per cent ethanol blending in petrol. Reductions in the workforce over the last several years have left the industry with fewer employees to monitor welding operations and the overall shortage of skilled welders has compounded the challenge. Whereas 10 years ago a large automotive supplier may have had one welding technician for 20 robots, today that ratio has increased to as few as one welding technician for every 50 robots – or more. The most commonly used welding methods for automotive applications include resistance spot welding , resistance seam welding , metal inert gas (GMAW) welding, tungsten inert gas (GTAW) welding as also laser beam welding (LBW), friction welding (FW), and plasma arc welding (PAW). Ador Welding Offers a plethora of solutions through it wide range of Welding consumables, Welding equipment , Welding Automation, Plasma and Gas CNC based cutting systems encompassing most of these processes:
Auto- Exhaust applications: The use of stainless steels in automobiles started when automobiles came to be equipped with 3 way catalytic converters to meet intensifying regulations over exhaust gas emissions. The requirement to have longer service life accelerated the switchover from hot dip aluminized carbon steel to stainless steel in this application. Today, stainless steel is used in almost all exhaust system parts from the cylinder head gasket to the tail pipe. The consumption of stainless steel in the exhaust system per passenger car varies from model to model but averages about 15kg per car. The stainless steel consumption is expected to increase in the exhaust system of diesel powered automobiles, mainly trucks, to meet the growing social demand for stricter exhaust gas emission regulations. Exhaust system materials are exposed to a variety of harsh conditions, and must be resistant to such degradation mechanisms as high temperature oxidation, condensate and salt corrosion, elevated temperature mechanical failure, stress corrosion cracking, and inter-granular corrosion. The exhaust gas emitted from automobiles is one cause of air pollution, and various efforts have been made to prevent this problem. One of the preventive measures is the system shown in the figure. The components downstream from the muffler of an exhaust system must have sufficient corrosion resistance to withstand the internal attack of condensed water containing these corrosive ions and external attack of these salts. The materials mainly used for these components are low-carbon ferritic stainless steel incorporating not less than 11% chromium. The components nearer to the engine in front of the muffler need high oxidation resistance, because they are heated to about 773K (500 ) during operation. The exhaust manifold, which is heated to the highest temperature, must possess both high-temperature strength and resistance to thermal fatigue. High-chromium stainless steel is now used mainly for these upstream components. As a result, the life of the exhaust system

Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel plasma cutting systems: Axle Welding Automation setup from ADOR
has been substantially extended. Stabilized ferritic stainless steels represent the best cost / benefit solution for exhaust system components: it gives designers optimal combinations that work both in elevated temperatures and complex corrosive environments. The exhaust system components are manifold, close coupled and underbody catalytic converters, flexible bellow, muffler, resonator, connecting pipes, flanges, and tailpipe. The part of the exhaust system containing the manifold, converter and the flex joint is named as hot end since this part of the system is relatively hot due to the hot exhaust gas passing through these components. The part consists of intermediate pipe, resonator and the muffler is named as cold end since the gas tends to cool down from the exit of the flex tube. The temperature of the hot end of the gasoline operated vehicle can be as high as 1050°Cwhile the highest temperature of the cold end is about 650°C.
There are benefits of Nb regarding oxidation resistance at high temperatures. It has been demonstrated that Nb containing ferritic grades have better high temperature performance when compared to Ti single-stabilized or austenitic grades.
Autoweld 400 : Resistance Spot Welders from the ADOR stable:
This is because Nb forms a thin, homogeneous and adherent oxide layer in the surface of the steel, avoiding spalling and reoxidation of the material during the exhaust system thermal cycling (the typical on/off operation of the car’s engine). It also results in lower loss of material which can be translated into higher life cycles of the component, meaning a longer life, reduced frequency of replacement and long term cost savings. Study on metal loss of different stainless steels at 950°C shows that with increase in Nb content, higher temperature oxidation resistance improves as Nb forms less porous and more adherent oxides which results in less spalling and less re-oxidation.

• Ferritic Stainless Steel solid wire. • High corrosion and heat resistance. • Suitable for joining and cladding of typical 17% Cr steels. • Best suited for ferritic martensitic chrome steels.
Metal cored wire: Metal cored wires offer higher productivity in terms of higher welding current densities and hence higher welding speeds. It gives much higher range of welding parameters to weld without the danger of burn through. The above comes with an additional advantage of better root gap bridging ability. The above point is best illustrated in the graph below.
Miginox MC 409 : • Ti stabilized metal cored wire that gives minimal / no slag. • Operates at higher current densities. • High deposition rate gives very good productivity. Both the solid and metal cored wires are supplied in layer wound condition in plastic spools with 12.5 / 15 kg wire per spool.

Energy Efficiency in Compressors by Anvar Jay Varadaraj, Head – Marketing & Corporate Communications, Elgi Equipments Ltd. Compressors - the evolution
right sized compressor and one that is too large for the requirement.
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.
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 To evaluate the need for a VFD, customers should demand a sizing
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 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

joints and can result in leaks. Leaks lead to higher energy consumption owing to air wastage.
Managing a Dynamic Air Distribution System
Air Audits for Compressed Air Management
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.
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.
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
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 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. 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 weaken

New Fluke FieldSense technology enables simultaneous voltage and current measurements without metallic contact New T6 Electrical Testers — the first tools with FieldSense technology — are now available
T
roubleshooting electrical systems has always required gaining access to metallic contact points so the test leads can make contact. And while non contact ac current measurement has been available in the Fluke T5 Electrical Tester for a few years, only voltage detection was available as a form of non-contact voltage testing. Fluke has now developed FieldSense technology that takes the open fork functionality of the T5 Electrical Tester and adds — for the first time —ac voltage measurements. So now, electricians can take simultaneous voltage and current measurements — not just detection — without test leads. The new T6 Electrical Testers, the first tools to use FieldSense technology, are now available at local distributors and retailers.
Safer way to test voltage Contacting electrical conductors with test leads or alligator clips requires metal-to-metal contact, which carries the potential for arc flash. FieldSense technology eliminates that step. Because the measurement tool and the voltage source under test are isolated, the person performing the test is safer from potential electrical shock. This is performed by means of galvanic isolation or separation, the principle that isolates functions of an electrical current to prevent current flow. FieldSense takes a measurement of voltage without voltage flowing through the meter. Instead, tools like the T6 sense an electromagnetic field in the open fork to make the measurement. Moreover, since the measurement is performed through the cable’s insulation, the user has reduced exposure to
OCTOBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
metallic conductors. T6 testers also decrease the potential for errors or making contact with the wrong conductor.
How FieldSense works While the technology in the T5 detects a magnetic field to derive an ac current measurement, FieldSense Technology detects an electromagnetic field. First, Fluke engineers developed the openfork voltage sensing technology, which involves transducing and calculating a known signal to derive measurements for the source voltage. This was done by designing the device to generate a reference signal of known amplitude and frequency. Then, when grounded, the resulting composite waveform is detected by an electronic sensor built into the tester. After amplification, processing, and digital calculations, voltage and frequency measurements are derived. Fluke engineers then combined the two different physical phenomena—magnetic field sensing and electrical field sensing—into one device. The result is that for the first time in a Fluke meter, voltage and current can be measured and displayed at the same time without metallic contact.
Workers spend less time in front of open distribution panels and less time wearing full PPE. • Be faster: No need to pull panel covers or remove wire nuts to find a conductor. Measurements can be made anywhere along the wire run. • Be more efficient: Simultaneously measure ac voltage and current. • Be everywhere: 17.8 mm open fork of the T6 is widest in the industry; measure up to 200 A on 4/0 wires (120 mm2), or take readings on 14 AWG wiring.
About Fluke Founded in 1948, Fluke Corporation is the world leader in compact, professional electronic test tools and software for measuring and condition monitoring. Fluke customers are technicians, engineers, electricians, maintenance managers, and metrologists who install, troubleshoot, and maintain industrial, electrical, and electronic equipment and calibration processes.
With FieldSense Technology, electricians can: • Be safer: Measure voltage to 1000 V ac through the open fork, without test leads.

This also has the consequence that new users can get started creating complete electrical documentation projects really quickly. In larger companies, this way of working might result in that just one single person needs to be pointed out as the main responsible for creating the company subdrawings, while the others in future almost only will need to create documentation by dragging templates and subdrawings into projects. Experiences from the industry suggest that the documentation time can be reduced by up to 80 percent.

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, 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.

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.

ust, dirt and heavy loads are commonplace in agriculture and construction machinery. igus has now developed a bar stock for the production of special Tribo parts for such application scenarios. iglidur Q2 has high wear resistance and compressive strength with extreme loads. It is particularly suitable for heavy-duty pivoting movements and is extremely resistant to impact loads. The material ensures long term lubrication-free and maintenance-free operation of the machine. Be it wind and weather, dirt and dust or high loads. Machines and vehicles operating in the construction and agricultural sectors often have to withstand extreme loads. The igus iglidur Q2 has been developed specifically for these applications. The material shows its special strengths in the extreme load range, especially with high edge loads and heavy impacts. The use of iglidur Q2 is always appropriate when, besides dynamic loads, high impact and dirt come together. Examples of this are bale-cutting machines, wheel loaders or ploughs. The material is not only insensitive to dirt but also resistant to chemicals such as those used in fertilizers. After igus iglidur Q2 has already been successfully introduced in its plain bearing range, the material is now offered as bar stock.

ue to the high energy density and flow velocity during high-quality plasma cutting the sound level can amount to more than 100 dB(A) depending on the cutting task. With the new technology Silent Cut, Kjellberg Finsterwalde now offers a solution to reduce the noise exposure, which is perceived as disturbing for the human hearing particularly in the upper frequency range. As a further development of the patented Contour Cut technology, Silent Cut reduces the sound pressure level by up to 15 dB(A) during plasma cutting of mild steels with a material thickness between 4 and 30 mm in the current range between 60 and 160 A. Even the high frequencies perceived as particularly disturbing are considerably reduced. The reduction of the sound level by 10 decibels is already perceived by human hearing as a halving of the loudness. Thus, Silent Cut makes an important contribution to health and safety at work – with high cut quality. Kjellberg’s intensive development work forms the foundation of the Silent Cut technology. The results are a unique combination of new consumables and new cutting data

METAV 2018 : Trade fair for production technology With Industry 4.0 now at the centre of production technology, METAV 2018 will present an opportunity to learn about the latest changes, says Huned Contractor
T
he 20th International Exhibition for Metalworking Technologies, which will take place from February 20-24, 2018 at Düsseldorf in Germany, will have on display the entire value-added chain of production in an overall organic view. The classical topics of metalworking are found at the core of the METAV, such as machine tools, production systems, high-precision tools, automated material flows, computer technology, industrial electronics, and accessories. Classical metalworking and innovation are of course not a contradiction at the METAV. The latest technologies in traditional production technology can be seen at the fair, as can current solutions for Industry 4.0. With the core area, the METAV addresses numerous user industries, including the automotive industry and its component suppliers, machine manufacturing, medical technology and aircraft construction, electrical engineering and electronics as well as the ironworking, sheet metal cutting and metalworking industries. This heart of the fair is intrinsically connected with the so-called ‘areas’, which were successfully introduced with the new METAV concept in 2016. The fair thus represents the reality of modern industrial manufacturing compressed

into its grounds. Two areas are dedicated to special topics of production technology, and two others are focused on special industrial sectors.
Demonstrating Synergies in Production Technologies The Quality Area shows how inseparably measurement technology is connected to industrial manufacturing. In the era of digital transformation, these categories are gaining steadily in perceived importance. Not least the measuring and testing technologies involved will become a supporting pillar for smart and big data concepts. The Additive Manufacturing Area,
in contrast, illustrates that the corresponding manufacturing processes have firmly established their place in the factories. They are an outstanding complement to classical metalworking that joins in with the entire bandwidth of the process chain – even though mechanical post-processing is required in any case. This is made clear not least by the numerous exhibitors that rely on hybrid machines, i.e. production technology that combines additive with machining manufacturing. In the Moulding Area, it’s all about tool, mould and model building. Moulding is considered to be one of the most demanding fields of application in metalworking. The standards of precision and quality involved are extremely high, which encourages innovation in this area. Besides conventional processes, new process technologies are always finding their way in, such as laser-based manufacturing for fine texturing of design surfaces. Therefore, the requirements that apply and how they can be solved with innovative production technology are central topics of the Moulding Area.

As the second user-based area, the Medical Area focuses on medical technology. With its stringent requirements and massive innovation potential, it is a driver of technological progress in production technology. There is a good reason why medical technology ranks highly in the worldwide registration of patents. On the other hand, it is a segment with outstanding, long-term market perspectives. Demographic development of the world population is fuelling the demand, above all including the increasing average age in industrialised countries and the rising standard of living in numerous emerging countries.
Strong Showplace for Innovations The METAV 2018 positions itself as a showplace for production solutions in Düsseldorf in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, one of the most concentrated, industrial economic regions in Europe. Mechanical engineering is traditionally very strong here. The industry employs more than 2,00,000 people in North Rhine-Westphalia, making it the biggest industrial employer in the country. Almost a fifth of German revenue in mechanical engineering is earned in North Rhine-Westphalia. However, the METAV is not only an attractive and convenient meeting place for manufacturers and users of the region, but also for the neighbouring Benelux countries and comparably nearby Scandinavian countries. The visitor quality here is high. In 2016, 63% indicated that they have an influence on purchasing decisions. Industry lives from innovation more than ever today. The digital transformation has accelerated innovation cycles in a way that hardly anyone could have imagined just one generation ago. The visionary model in companies is therefore rapidly becoming obsolete. Anyone wanting to join the technological elite today is reliant on unleashing the innovation potential of the entire workforce. Employees must act

and think technologically at the state of the art. Anyone who considers innovation to be exclusively the task of the executive floor could soon be caught up by the reality of the markets. So, it is important to anchor competence and a feeling for technological trends on the factory floors. The METAV can also score points here. Almost 40% of visitors come from manufacturing, production or quality control. Hence, exhibitors also have an opportunity to directly address the practitioners in the companies – and there is no question that their perception and experience have a noticeable effect on purchasing in numerous companies. The METAV covers a broad range of specialist sectors dealing with numerous aspects of production technology. Its soul remains the entire bandwidth of metalworking, an area that has once again gained considerable innovative potential with the digital transformation. At the same time, the METAV showcases the connections to the numerous, flanking industrial topics that decisively co-determine production technology. And it does so at a time in which Industry 4.0 is causing us to conceive value creation in a
more extensive, universal and more effectively networked form.
Events at the METAV 2018 As a showplace for innovations, the METAV 2018 doesn’t limit itself to the exhibitors, but rather it offers a comprehensive information programme dealing with all areas of production technology. • Industry 4.0 Theme Park in cooperation with the trade journal MAV and the Konradin Media Group. • Special youth show of the Youth Education and Development Foundation. • International symposium ‘Inside 3D Printing’ of Rising Media. • Workshops on quality assurance by the German Society for Quality (DGQ) and the German Society for Certification of Management Systems (DQS). • 7th Dortmund Grinding Seminar ‘METAV Special 2018’ of the Institute of Machining Technology (ISF) at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences. • Forum on ‘Potential of Clamping Technology in Process-Efficient Manufacturing’ of the Precision Tools Association in the VDMA. • Sawing Technology Application Forum of the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA). • VDW Technology Day on safety guidelines at machine tools.

E
nergy efficiency? Yes – but not at any cost: This is the goal of many metal-processing companies, which are tasked with balancing productivity and cost pressures. An example in sawing technology: Electricity-saving measures are only worthwhile provided they are not implemented at the expense of efficiency. KASTO Maschinenbau GmbH has paid particular attention to this when developing its new KASTOwin series. This resulted in an extremely efficient band-sawing machine that allows the operator to make significant savings, without compromising on cutting performance. Increasing cost pressure, tough international competition and ever-increasing customer demands mean metal-processing companies are facing significant challenges: On the one hand, it is important to be able to flexibly offer more and more different materials and sizes of the highest quality, and from a batch size of one through to series production. On the other hand, the unit costs must be low and competitive so that in-house production is economically viable. Finding a happy medium is a difficult task faced by many operators. Sawing technology is also continuing to develop against this backdrop. As tasks become more complex, the requirements placed on machine manufacturers also increase: Automatic saws must meet diverse criteria, such as offering high cutting performance, a wide range of applications, minimal idle times, perfect cutting results, high repeatability, ease of use and effective material use. In times of increasing energy costs and ever-longer daily periods of use, efficiency also plays a key role. The power consumption of a sawing machine used during

a single shift can have a considerable influence on operating costs – and the costs are all the higher for two or more shifts. But not every measure that improves a machine’s energy efficiency is suitable for the user: “These ideas often come at the expense of production capacity,” explains Matthias Eigbrecht, Head of the Electrical Design department at KASTO Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG. By launching the KASTOwin, the metal sawing machine manufacturer has developed a product range that is not only industry-leading thanks to its diverse areas of application and high cutting performance, but also offers incomparably low energy consumption. “In designing the new series, our aim was to develop a cost-efficient solution that does not compromise on function yet still meets all our customers’ requirements – and at the right

price,” Mr Eigbrecht explains.
Pragmatic developments A thorough analysis of all the energy-consuming machine elements and their corresponding power requirements was the basis for the development work. Using the results, KASTO developed a series of concepts that would allow energy to be saved in different areas. “We then evaluated these concepts from a commercial viewpoint; in other words, we weighed the increased cost of the investment against the possible operating savings,” says Mr Eigbrecht. “In doing so, we determined certain measures to be meaningful but others less so – and we then rejected the latter.” However, a few points still needed to be addressed, allowing KASTO to significantly improve the energy efficiency of the new series. The greatest potential lay in the hydraulics system, which is responsible for a significant proportion of the sawing machine’s energy consumption. Initially, KASTO tested and compared equipment from different manufacturers and opted for the most efficient. To complement this, the KASTOwin engineers developed an electromechanical saw downfeed. The hydraulics system is now only responsible for workpiece clamping and saw blade tensioning, meaning it therefore needs to be actuated far less than in the past. “As a result, we were able to reduce the machine’s overall energy consumption by around 30 per cent,” reports Mr Eigbrecht.
Modern drive technology uses energy intelligently For the saw motors, KASTO uses frequency-controlled drives of efficiency class IE3. As a result, cutting speeds of twelve to 150 meters per minute can be achieved. At the same time, the motors are compact and extremely efficient. Modern servo drives are also used for the ma-
terial infeed and saw downfeed. Linear guides and ball screw spindles ensure highly efficient, precise power transmission. Users therefore not only benefit from exact and repeatable sawing results, but also from low energy requirements. All drives are controlled by intelligent converter technology. KASTO has fitted the frequency converter with a DC link: Excess energy, which is generated when braking the saw motor for example, can therefore be recovered and used elsewhere in the system. In contrast, conventional technology disperses this energy via brake resistance, so it is lost as heat. “Our solution, however, optimally uses synergy effects and significantly lowers the saw’s energy consumption,” explains Mr Eigbrecht. KASTO has been successfully using DC links in its automatic storage systems for a long time. KASTO engineers have also turned their attention to the weight of the sawing ma-
chines – after all, the more weight that needs to be moved for each cut, the more energy is required. Using new methods, dynamic parts such as the saw frame have been designed to be lighter, without having to compromise on vibration damping or quiet operation.
Rapid payback Overall, these various improvements have made it possible to achieve significant improvements in the energy efficiency of KASTOwin bandsaws. Depending on the sawing task, energy consumption is on average almost 30 per cent lower compared with similar previous models. Depending on operating times, operators can reduce their annual operating costs by several hundred euros. Productivity is unaffected – “after all, we base our development work on our customers’ needs first and foremost,” explains Mr Eigbrecht. The KASTOwin series offers high cutting performance and optimum results in different applications across various industry sectors. And the saw also stands out from an economic point of view: Thanks to its excellent value for money, the investment is often recouped in a very short time. The components are included in the standard version.

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.
The new Gast 86/87R Series of oil-less rocking piston compressors and vacuum pumps
While other manufacturers have been busy selling rocking piston compressors that produce a lot of noise and less-than-ideal pressure, Gast has been quietly setting the new standard by re-engineering our oil-less rocking piston from the ground up. The result is a unit that delivers quieter performance, higher pressure, a longer life and greater application flexibility. The sleek, new 86/87R Series is not just another pretty product. It’s beauty runs deep as it performs in ways not yet seen in the industry. The patented crossover chamber design regulates and controls airflow to dampen sound and optimize performance, while delivering a wide range of pressure level options. Because the 86/87R Series can easily retrofit into an existing footprint, it’s also a smart, flexible solution for a wide range of markets and applications, viz. Environmental, General industrial, medical, printing & packaging, food and beverage, transportation, laboratory, and material handling.
Designed to performs “When we set out to re-engineer our rocking piston compressor, we aimed to do more than just increase pressure. We set out to dramatically reduce sound, enhance flow, create a standard footprint for easy retrofit anywhere in the world and improve the compressor’s aesthetics,” says Gast. The inherent design of rocking piston technology makes it the optimal choice for applications requiring high pressure or vacuum and air flow in a small package. The flexible cup is made with superior materials and mounted on top of the connecting rod, creating vacuum or pressure while maintaining a tight seal against the cylinder walls in a rocking motion. The forgiving design has fewer components, causes less friction and has a low exhaust temperature, for greater reliability and durability for the life of the product. Despite it’s small size, the versatility of 86/87R means this is the right product to deliver quality air solutions.

frame (material that can provide mechanical and thermal properties far superior to the traditional polymers) that absorbs accidental shocks transmitting them directly onto the wall of the reservoir. The indicator is available with or without incorporated thermometer, screws, nuts and washers made of zinc-plated steel, AISI 303 stainless steel or SUPER-technopolymer. In addition, special openings in the protection frame provide maximum fluid level visibility even from side positions. HCV-E column level indicator, in addition to the visual control, generates an electric signal when the oil level drops to a minimum. Standard executions are available with a built-in relay with two
conductors (NO and NC versions) at the output or three connectors (SW version). Thanks to the side output of the connector, HCV-E level indicator allows to minimise the level of intervention of the sensor because assembled at the nearest position to the minimum fluid level (63 mm from the back of the tank). The swivelling connector with front or axial output guarantees protection against water jets, ensuring IP65 protection class according to IEC 529. Products technical data sheets, along with drawings and tables with codes and dimensions, are available on our website www. elesa-ganter.in
