CEO CORNER Digital Manufacturing: The future is possible The digital revolution is now breaching the walls of manufacturing as it continues to disrupt media, finance, consumer products, healthcare, and other sectors. Indeed, the explosion in data and new computing capabilities—along with advances in other areas such as artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, additive technology, and human-machine interaction—are unleashing innovations that will change the nature of manufacturing itself. Industry and academic leaders agree that digital-manufacturing technologies will transform every link in the manufacturing value chain, from research and development, supply chain, and factory operations to marketing, sales, and service. Digital connectivity among designers, managers, workers, consumers, and physical industrial assets will unlock enormous value and change the manufacturing landscape forever. Digital manufacturing can be defined as an integrated approach to manufacturing that is centered around a computer system. A machine is able to read a CAD (computer aided design) file in order to deliver it in a few hours. Within the same process, it is possible to prototype, produce and fabricate molds to aid production. When consumers’ habits and expectations are evolving, it is necessary that we find a new production mode. Within the Factory of the Future, Digital manufacturing appears as an answer to this evolution. It allows an iterative production, beneficial to meet consumer’s demand. Quicker and producing high-quality prototypes, digital manufacturing enhances productivity. It allows real-time inventory monitoring which allows companies to master their whole production line and intervene when it is necessary to adapt the product to the changing market. No company has harnessed every possible digital advance, but many have begun to make real progress. One thing seems certain: in marketplaces where profit margins are thin and consumers demand ever more sophisticated products and better service, the digital thread will lead some companies to great success while slow-moving competitors fall further behind.

Ador Powertron Showcases Innovative Traffic Solutions The historic city of Hyderabad, in all its royalty and glory, was an apt destination for India’s biggest Traffic Solutions Expo. With all the government and non-government dignitaries visiting; Hall No. 1, C-15 was the showstopper during the three-day event commencing 13th September 17 at the Hitex Exhibition Centre. Ador Smart Cities and Traffic having recently ventured into the now trending market, made its presence felt by the majestic stall with some never-before-seen products viz. Crash Attenuator, Safety Roller Barrier, Ador Road Beacon Roadstar Trailer and the Ador Road Beacon Pushpak VMS Trailer. The range caters to safety of the commuters, the road workers and the police in all kinds of extreme weather conditions and terrains. The solutions that left a lasting impression on the visitors belonged to Ador Powertron, apart from the Variable Message Signs (VMS) which was a popular product at the expo. The Ador Road Beacon Pushpak VMS Trailer is India’s first vehicle-based VMS platform that liberates the end-user from the stress of trailer fleet and parking management. Based on India’s most widely used small commercial vehicle, it could be deployed on small city roads or at highway roadworks and closures. Another product which could deceive you by the looks of it, but is an innovation master at the helm is the Ador Crash Attenuator. Mounted on the rear of any standard Indian truck, it is designed to stop a vehicle in-

stantly whilst saving not only the vehicle driver but also the highway workers working ahead of the truck. The core purpose here is the safety of the highway maintenance workers, working in the fast lane with minimal training, from the distracted drivers who may not be able to take aversion action in time. The Ador Road Beacon Roadstar Trailer is more than just your regular VMS trailer. Apart from real-time traffic management information display, its light-weight, ultra-easy and intelligent control comes with a robust under-carriage for all Indian conditions. The trailer can be locked when parked, can be located by a GPS and the VMS has a vandal-proof cover too. The Ador Transparent Walls and Fences use modern LED based hardware and software control technology to allow you to engage visitors and customers. The Ador Safety Roller Barrier is the first of its kind, ground-breaking shock absorbing system. It is mostly installed on long winding roads to secure the vehicle and the driver from falling down the dangerous edges of the roads. Converting the collision into the rotational energy and redirecting the vehicle on to the road, it surely stands the test of time and massive, bumpy collisions. Travelling to and fro to the office daily could mean making a way through the crowded menace everyday. But to address exactly that comes forth the Ador Beacon Dhanno VMS
Trailer. Congestion Management through smart, predictive and autonomous decision making Variable Messaging Signs(VMS) is the core of what Ador basically ensures to give the commuters a delightful journey. Made in India and made for India, the Dhanno VMS trailer uses cameras and sensors to autonomously trigger warnings by predicting congestion hotspots. Another exclusive product is the Next Generation Ador Beacon Super Dhanno VMS Trailer. The first-of-its-kind, double sided VMS, it is mounted on a leaf-spring trailer and is capable of communicating to commuters on reciprocal carriageway roads, in particular - narrow, one-lane city roads. This trailer is designed to be able to park in adverse and unstable city parking conditions, road works and metro works. The expo was adorned by eminent visitors such as Mr. Yudhvir Singh Malik (IAS), Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Mr. M. Mahendar Reddy (IPS), the Larsen & Toubro Smart City Team and the IL&FS team. With a footfall of over 2000 visitors, the event was the cynosure of all eyes and the world of traffic solutions. Ador believes in “Changing the face of India” through the next generation, smart and innovative products and bringing “Peace of Mind” through the same for India at large. The TrafficInfratech Expo definitely spurred the journey towards this goal. - P.K. Balasubbramaniian

AIR COMPRESSORS
ELGi’s partnership with ITF successful, demonstrates real energy savings Elgi Equipments Limited (BSE: 522074 NSE: ELGIEQUIP), one of the world’s leading air compressor manufacturers, announced the outcome of its successful partnership with Indian Texpreneurs Federation (ITF), one of the largest textile groups in South India. ELGi’s air audit program helped ITF member companies to reduce average compressed air energy costs upto 43%. ITF is a 500 member strong organization covering all textile operations concentrated in Tamil Nadu. ITF’s mandate is to promote the textile sector. Its 500 members collaborate in an environment of confidentiality and mutual respect to share best practices to improve the industry’s operational standards. Externally, the group’s leadership partners with the government to raise awareness of challenges facing the industry. Given rising energy costs, textile units are exploring opportunities to reduce the cost of compressed air. To support the textile industry’s focus on energy reduction, ELGi partnered with the Indian Texpreneurs Federation (ITF) to design a comprehensive energy program. The program included information sessions for owners and general managers on the compressed air best practices, practical training sessions for textile maintenance engineers, and critically, free of cost air audit programs that helped recognize significant cost savings. On the partnership, Anvar Jay Varadaraj, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications, ELGi said “Our relationship with ITF has been a resounding success owing to mutual respect and recognition of value. For ELGi, ITF members
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
have provided generous access to how textile customers are managing their compressed air systems, while mills have benefitted from our expertise. With ITF, we’ve had an opportunity to directly engage with textile CEOs to understand their manufacturing challenges” Speaking at the event, Mr. Prabhu Damodaran, Secretary of the Indian Texpreneurs Federation said, “In our efforts to compete in the global market, this relationship focused on intelligent energy monitoring and optimizing air consumption levels. ELGi enabled us to bring about improved manufacturing efficiency and cost leadership through energy conservation.” Air Audit An Air Audit is a review of an operation’s use of compressed air. The audit evaluates both the generation and distribution of compressed air. A review of generation evaluates the compressor’s performance compared to original spec-
ifications, energy consumption, current condition, and appropriateness for the application. A review of the distribution evaluates how compressed air is used in the plant, which includes leaks in the air lines and general consumption. Compressed air systems are dynamic and inefficiencies develop over time owing to air leaks and changes in air consumption. An air audit assesses a compressed air system and identifies areas of inefficiency with corresponding cost savings if rectified. An engineer presents a detailed report with recommendations on how to recognize the potential savings. The technical training sessions with textile maintenance engineers help instill compressed air best practices which enable engineers to sustain efficiency. The ELGi-ITF air audit program across 130 textile customers recognized annual savings of Rs. 14 Cr. with an average compressed air energy cost reduction
of 43%. ELGi will continue its engagement program. About ELGi Elgi Equipments Limited is a leading air compressor manufacturer with a broad line of innovative and technologically superior compressed air systems. ELGi has earned worldwide distinction for designing sustainable solutions that help companies achieve their productivity goals and keep the cost of ownership low. ELGi offers a complete range of compressed air solutions from oil-lubricated and oil-free rotary screw compressors, oil-lubricated and oil-free reciprocating compressors and centrifugal compressors, to dryers, filters and downstream accessories.

HARTING garners “Innovator of the Year” award The HARTING Technology Group has long been known as an innovative company. Now HARTING has been honoured as “Innovator of the Year” in an award ceremony in Munich. HARTING garnered the award from DESIGN&ELEKTRONIK trade magazine in the electromechanics category for its ix Industrial connector. The connector was jointly developed by the Espelkamp-based family-owned business together with Japan’s HIROSE technology group and placed on the market.
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
In response to the challenging and growing demand for global digitisation technology, HIROSE and HARTING agreed last year to team up and bundle their strengths. The result is the jointly developed ix Industrial® – a miniaturised Ethernet interface for high data rates. Together, both partners have standardised the new ix Industrial® mating face to IEC/PAS 61076-3-124. This standardisation gives users investment security and, thanks to a broad technological base, consistently the right
contact for future applications in the “Internet of Things”. Trade medium DESIGN&ELEKTRONIK had announced the “Innovator of the Year” competition in a total of eight categories (electromechanics, digital technology, chip production, analogue technology, measurement technology, optoelectronics, passive components, and services). Over 1,500 readers participated in the online voting. The award was accepted by Kilian Schmale, Head of Industry Segment Management & Marketing,
and Jonas Diekmann, Technical Editor (both from the subsidiary HARTING Electronics). “We’re pleased with this award.

eWON Netbiter LC – Connecting devices to ThingWorx HMS Industrial Networks has released a new remote management gateway called eWON Netbiter LC. While regular Netbiter gateways (Netbiter EC) connect machines to the Netbiter Argos web service, Netbiter LC gateways are designed to connect machines to ThingWorx and local networks. The Netbiter LC gateways allow ThingWorx users to get data from machines, devices or sensors with a few clicks of the mouse. In ThingWorx, users can easily build graphical dashboards (so called Mashups) and get alarms and reports on their machinery online. A Netbiter LC gateway connects to field equipment via Serial RS232/485, Modbus RTU or Modbus
TCP (On-board I/O ports provide the option to connect sensors and additional equipment). The Netbiter gateway sends data via Ethernet or the cellular network to the ThingWorx cloud where it can be displayed in a regular web browser. It is possible to get reports, statistics and also alarms if values reach certain levels. Users can build so called “Mashups” where data from the field equipment is shown in graphical dashboards. Netbiter LC comes with an included configuration wizard which makes it easy to build so called “Device Templates” mapping the values from a Modbus device/ machine to ThingWorx. Moreover,
there are ready-made device templates for hundreds of industrial devices available for free on www. netbiter.com. These templates enable users to connect a machine to ThingWorx in minutes. Users can also access information from a machine by logging on to the Netbiter LC’s internal webpages. “The Netbiter LC has two main
applications,” comments Anders Stålheden, Product Manager at HMS Industrial Networks. “Firstly, it can be used as an IIoT gateway connecting an industrial device to the ThingWorx cloud. Here, we have done all the work for the ThingWorx users, having implemented the ThingWorx connectivity into the Netbiter LC. Secondly, it can also be used to monitor and control machines via a Local Area Network. No matter the usage, Netbiter LC is a quick and easy way to get access to live data from industrial equipment.”

SICK celebrates ten years of operations in the Middle East SICK celebrated its 10thyear of operations in the Middle East at its Dubai-based subsidiary SICK FZE in the presence of Renate Sick-Glaser, daughter of company founder Dr.-Ing. e. h. Erwin Sick, and Franz Bausch, Member of the Supervisory Board. It was a little over a decade ago that SICK AG decided to further enhance the support of its Middle East customer base by registering a regional branch office in the United Arab Emirates on 6th December 2007. At that time, the local entity was named SICK Automation International (SAI). In early 2008, operations then commenced at SAI with the on-boarding of the first employees as well as the
start-up of locally managed marketing and sales support activities. From its base in Dubai, SAI then both consolidated and further established its network of Distributors and channel partners across the Middle East, with responsibility for supporting 14 countries. Due to the strong growth of the local company as well as SICK AG’s further commitment to invest into the region, the branch office of SAI was converted into a wholly-owned subsidiary of parent company SICK AG of Waldkirch, Germany, and renamed SICK FZE (Free Zone Establishment) within the Jebel Ali Free Zone. Due to the steady growth of SICK’s regional business and its
investment into local sales support resources, a move to a bigger premises was required only a few years after SICK FZE’s incorporation. As a result, early in 2017 SICK FZE moved to a dedicated facility in the Business Plus Showrooms cluster within the Jebel Ali Free Zone. “Our local team is made up of many different nationalities interacting together and this multicultural diversity further enhances effective communication, mutual understanding and close collaboration with our varied customer base
across the many countries and language groups in the region”, says Martin Palmer, General Manager of SICK FZE in Dubai. Now in its 10thyear of operations, SICK FZE is responsible for supporting all industry verticals - including Process, Factory and Logistics Automation – as well as for the full SICK portfolio of serial products, systems and service.

Jabalpur gets ABB technology for pollution-free e-rickshaw transportation
SNIPPETS
6.1%
Asia-Pacific constitutes the fastest growing regional market worldwide with a CAGR of 6.1% over the analysis period.
40%
The automotive and auto components industry has accounted for about 40% of machine tools consumption in India. ABB India is providing critical technology through its solar inverters for solar powered charging stations for e-rickshaws at four locations in Jabalpur. As the sun hits the solar panels at the charging station, generating the direct current (DC) energy, the ABB inverters convert that power to the alternating current (AC) used in charging the e-rickshaws. The solar powered charging stations are part of a renewable energy project initiated by the Jabalpur Smart City Corporation. The solar panels are also connected to the state grid to feed in additional power generated through net metering. The ABB inverters come with Wifi connectivity for remote monitoring and centralized billing provisions in the future.
Jabalpur currently has 400 licensed e-rickshaws plying in the city. This pilot project is an endeavor to provide these e-rickshaws with renewable-energy-powered charging stations. The ultimate aim is to also convert the 5,000 diesel-run city rickshaws to a cleaner, greener mode of propulsion, reducing carbon emissions in transportation and bringing down pollution levels in the city. Currently, conventional rickshaws emit at least 46 tons of CO2 per day in the city. This project is one of the first of its kind in the country, demonstrating green generation and green usage. The solar powered charging stations, capable of generating 50 kilowatts of electricity, take between 7 to 8 hours for a full recharge, enabling the vehicle to
travel 100 to 150 kilometers. “We are privileged to partner Jabalpur’s journey in pollution-free and environment-friendly transportation with ABB’s market-leading charging technology for these e-rickshaws. Such pilots are key to creating a wider eco-system of clean energy generation and consumption and realizing India’s vision of 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022,” said Sanjeev Sharma Managing Director, ABB India. “We are creating renewable-based infrastructure for the e-rickshaws at nine locations throughout the city. For this project we generate solar power, some of which is fed back to the grid,” said Sachin Vishvakarma, CEO, Jabalpur City Transport Services Ltd.

Danfoss India showcases latest NextGen High Power Automation Drives Danfoss Industries Pvt. Ltd., an industry leader in climate and energy efficient solutions, showcased its NextGen High Power Automation Drives – VLT Drive with enclosure size E and the VLT Midi Drive, in Chennai as a part of their ‘Engineering Tomorrow’s India’ initiatives. The organization aims to ensure that their solutions aid industries, especially SMEs, across Tamil Nadu to adopt best practices which give operational efficiency and sustainability. Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Ravichandran Purushotha-
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
man, President, Danfoss India said, “Over the years, Tamil Nadu has proved to be one of the most sought-after locations for SMEs across industries. In the current scenario where India is promoting the cause towards becoming an energy efficient nation, it is vital that industries focus on energy conservation for a better tomorrow. Tamil Nadu’s SME cluster can benefit significantly by employing our next-generation variable frequency drives that can easily bring in 18-20% savings on energy, thereby delivering improved profitability.”
Danfoss 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. The newly launched VLT drive has been reduced in size by 73%, which in turn reduces space constraints in the cabinet or control room which reduces capex on floor space and air-conditioning cost. Its
efficient designing allows for greater power sizes to be integrated in a single drive. 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 in the heavy industries sector.

Great Expectations for the World Forum of the Process Industries Some 6 months before the start there are unmistakable signs that ACHEMA 2018 will be a crowd-puller. More than 2958 exhibitors from all around the globe have already booked a stand at this leading show for the process industries in Frankfurt am Main. From 11 to 15 June 2018 they will be showcasing their innovations for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries from laboratory to large-scale plant through to the packaging line. And there is no lack of topics: the energy turnaround, novel antibiotics, water treatment and innovative materials, to name but a few – chemistry and process engineering present solutions for practically all sectors. Given the immense interest of exhibitors, the organizers anticipate a corresponding rush of visitors. More than 167,000 participants are needed to exceed the figure for the last event in 2015 which for one week made Frankfurt am Main the epicentre of the global process industries. Those who have not yet booked their space will have to hurry! An extra hall has already been rented to absorb the present excess demand; nevertheless there is every indication that ACHEMA 2018 will be fully booked. This particularly applies to pharmaceutical technology and automation where the demand for space has already exceeded supply. Moreover, the “classical” ACHEMA exhibition groups, such as pumps, process engineering and the laboratory sector, have also shown a keen interest. Hence, ACHEMA 2018 is once again set to live up to its reputation of being not only the market place of the present, but also the innovation exchange of
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
the future. “Many challenges, be they energy efficiency, shorter product cycles or novel materials for applications spanning vehicles to power stations, impact this sector worldwide”, explains Dr. Thomas Scheuring, CEO of DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH. “That makes the event far more than just a trade venue – ACHEMA is where global trends are launched.” Besides business transactions at the fair, discussions at the stands and in the lecture halls are the heart and soul of ACHEMA. If no market-ready solution exists, what better place to go for an exchange of ideas and experience than the Congress featuring some 800 lectures! As Prof. Kurt Wagemann, CEO of DECHEMA e.V. which organizes the Congress programme, comments: “The speakers are literally face-to-face with the technology in question. This creates an atmosphere for truly application-oriented discussions.” Whether it be the energy turnaround, digitization, availability of resources or novel concepts for biotechnological processes – the Congress programme already promises to provide a wealth of interesting insights for participants both from science and industry. Chemistry, process engineering and biotechnology are innovation drivers for other sectors, and this is reflected in the Focal Topics of ACHEMA
2018. “Biotech for Chemistry” illustrates the drive towards merging chemical and biotechnological processes as exemplified in the use of renewable resources as a substitute for oil or the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients. “Flexible Production” focuses on how technology and automation providers are reacting to the need for ever more specialized products in ever smaller batches and with ever shorter time-tomarket; digitization and modular plants provide the basis for the increasing integration of the value chains. Finally, the Focal Topic “Chemical and Pharmaceutical Logistics” highlights the benefits of digitization which facilitates integrated solutions for the logistics chain – from parameter determination for personalized medicine through to end-to-end product traceability throughout the value chain. ACHEMA is the world forum for chemical engineering, process engineering and biotechnology. Every three years the world’s major fair for the process industry attracts around 4,000 exhibitors from over 50 different countries to present new
products, processes and services to 170,000 professionals from all over the world. The spectrum ranges from laboratory equipment, pumps and analytical devices to packaging machinery, boilers and stirrers through to safety technology, materials and software, thus covering the entire needs of the chemical, pharmaceutical and food production industries. The accompanying congress, featuring 800 scientific lectures and numerous guest and partner events, complements the wide range of themes of the exhibition. The next ACHEMA will take place from 11-15 June 2018 in Frankfurt am Main InORBIT appointed as official travel agents Mr. Om Prakash – Director, InORBIT Tours Pvt. Ltd., is appointed as the official travel agent for serving the Indian Visitors and Exhibitors. Mr. Om Prakash has been promoting ACHEMA since the last 40 years and serving the Indian Processing industry.

Apart from this since we have local manufacturing, we can support on application based products and solutions faster than any competitors. Then we have highly trained and qualified sales force who can give instant solution directly at the door steps of various customers.
Q. What are the challenges that you are currently facing in India? The biggest challenge we face in India is the regulation part of the safety requirements as per the Indian Factory Act. Also, the awareness level is not up to mark both for machine manufacturers and machine users. This leads to usage of non-safe solutions in machines, thus making the machines hazardous to use. Also, there needs to be initiative from the government to have CE mark, or similar kind of mark exclusively and mandatory for India for machines manufactured and used in India. Q. What kind of plans and expectations do you have for near future? In recent past, Schmersal India has already developed and in the process of developing many more safety products locally exclusively for India, keeping in mind the Indian environment and the mindset of Indian customer. Apart from this, we already have three Certified Functional Safety Engineers and further planning to have few more in the team to carry out more Training Risk Assessments as per global standards.

This is one of the examples of disruptive innovations that are going to set new market trends and open a lot of avenues in the future. In India, awareness on using adhesives is limited; hence, the market has not fully developed. To convert non-users to users, we have been creating awareness through educational seminars,
Q. What is the company’s vision for growth in India over the next five years? India holds a strategic position for Henkel as a part of the company’s long term growth strategy both as a domestic market and a base to serve the other international markets. Our biggest focus areas are strengthening Henkel India’s manufacturing and innovation footprints in the country as well enhancing product development resources. We have already made an investment of USD 36 million to set up the first phase of India’s largest adhesive manufacturing unit at Kurkumbh near Pune. This plant will enable us to localize our product portfolio and reduce imports while bringing the best global technology to India. Henkel India Innovation Centre at Pune is yet another step to provide an integrated one-stop for adhesive technologies, testing facilities, dispensing systems and application training. We have also set up a flexible packaging academy at Thane and an innovation center at Pune. These investments bear testimony to our commitment to the Indian market. We see India as a high potential market, with adhesives being used in almost every sector including manufacturing, renewable energy, auto, aviation, construction, FMCG and healthcare among many others. India’s manufacturing sector has the potential to account for 25-30 percent of the country’s GDP by 2025. The government’s Make in India initiative has further given a boost to the sector, placing India on the world map as a manufacturing hub. As market leaders, we intend to take on the challenge of converting this latent potential into actual market. With the increased investments in innovative solutions and leading technologies, we see a great opportunity across different industry verticals. Henkel plans to consolidate its position as the largest industrial adhesive manufacturer and supplier in India.

Hall 16 will focus on wire and cable machines, wire and cable production and trade and glass fiber technologies. Hall 13 will put the emphasis on mesh welding machines and spring-making technology. Hall 15 will feature connection and fastening technologies, and the adjacent Hall 16 will have a section entitled Meet China’s Expertise. This has proved its worth in the past and has again been requested by our Chinese exhibitors who want to present their innovative products in a compact and manageable area, within one hall. For the tube fair, tube manufacturing, profiles and the tube trade will feature in Halls 3, 4, 7 and 16. Tube metal forming will be presented in Hall 5 and tube processing machines in Halls 6 and 7A. Plants and machinery will be showcased in Hall 7A, whereas Halls 16 and 17 will be about tube accessories. Profiles will be presented in Halls 3 to 7A and Halls 16 and 17. China’s tube exhibitors will occupy Hall 16 together with their wire colleagues from the same country, inviting visitors to Meet China’s Expertise. But although the two Chinese groups will share the same hall, they will occupy different sections within it. Q. How are the two events being affected by the global economy? Despite various global crises in recent years, the entire industry is currently experiencing a global boom. It’s an economic climate that encourages investment, not just in Europe. Considerable sums of money are being invested in infrastructural projects, construction and the automotive industry in South East Asia, in some South American countries, and

in parts of Africa. The German economy, too, has been booming for a number of years now. Private households are increasing their consumption, and the building industry is benefiting from the trend among many Germans to build their own houses. Rising exports have led to a higher gross national product. The wire, cable, pipe and tube industries are playing major roles in all this. We are therefore optimistic about spring 2018, and we have already recorded a good number of registrations – over six months before the trade fairs. Even at this stage, therefore, the registration figures are persuasive. Wire 2018 currently has a net occupancy of around 65,000 sq. metres. So far 1,120 exhibitors have registered, coming from 50 countries, as of November 2017. Tube has so far attracted 794 exhibitors from 46 countries, with a net space of about 48,000 square metres, as of November 2017. Q. Can you explain the term ‘global portfolio’? Wire and Tube have grown steadily in Düsseldorf since the mid-1980s. Every two years Düsseldorf becomes the meeting place for key players of these industries. The demand for plants, machinery and products from the cable, wire and tube industries is also growing in other countries, and so we now have Wire and Tube satellite trade fairs in Russia, India, China, Thailand and Brazil. Wire and tube are
going global – and in fact at a time of global transformations. After all, no industry could function without wire, cables or tubes. The success of these events has shown that we were right not to limit our focus to our domestic and European markets, but to pursue a worldwide focus and to develop more and more new markets. This is what gives our brands so much strength: Wire and Tube – join the best. It’s also been our first year of active involvement in Iran. The year 2017 was the first time that Messe Düsseldorf acted as an overseas associate at Iran Wire. We have been targeting and supporting all international companies (except US companies) that
would like to present themselves as exhibitors at the trade fair in Tehran. Q. Has there been a shift in the countries where exhibitors and visitors come from? Our strongest exhibitors’ and visitors’ countries in 2018 will continue to be our European neighbours, although there are also many overseas companies. The most strongly represented exhibitors at Wire and Tube are from Italy, the UK, France, Turkey, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Poland and Germany. Many of the overseas’ exhibitors come from the United States, India, Taiwan, South Korea and China. We are expecting around 70,000 trade visitors on the five days. Most trade fair visitors will be coming from major production and consumer countries, such as Italy, Belgium, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Russia, Turkey and Germany. But we are also expecting an increasing number of expert visitors from overseas, i.e. the United States, Brazil, India and China.

“Growth has been more or less stagnant” One of the winners of this year’s G S Parkhe Award for Innovation in Entrepreneurship, instituted by the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA), is Nagpur-based Soumitra Kothari, the managing director of Renuka Equipments (P) Limited. In this interview with Huned Contractor, he elaborates about the engineering works undertaken by his company and how the slowdown in the steel industry has impacted growth
Soumitra Kothari, Managing Director Renuka Equipments (P) Limited

he award for innovation that has been won by Renuka Equipments is for a product called the Hydraulic Ladle Tilting System (HLTS). In a steel plant, the hot metal (HM) produced at the blast furnace (BF) is either cast for producing pig iron or is converted to produce steel. Pig iron is cast in the Pig Casting Machine (PCM). HM collected in the ladle from the BF is transferred to the PCM, which is a strand-type rotating machine, for optimising the yield of pig iron, for which a high degree synchronization of ladle tilting and a PCM strand speed is required. The conventional EOT crane ladle tilting (CLT) and mechanical winch tilting (MWT) systems do not have precise control and hence a high degree of the said synchronization cannot be achieved, resulting in poor yield of pig iron (spillage of metal at PCM). A 1% reduction of pig iron yield in 1,000 TPD PCM results in a revenue loss of Rs 7.88 crore per annum (3.15 lakh T pig iron per annum, 315 annual working days and price of pig iron at Rs 25,000 PMT). All major steel plants have either CLT or MWT. HLTS, attempted by some companies, is not efficient and suffers from several
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
problems as the ladle has to be precisely tilted continuously up to 100% under the lip axis. Soumitra Kothari’s invention and innovation of the HLTS has overcome all the problems faced by the conventional HM ladle filters. Its salient features include: a) conservation of energy as gravitational force is used for lowering the ladle, b) the tod end has no hydraulic oil and hence no leakage problems, c) in the HLTS cylinder, the barrel traces and the ram remains fixed. Hence, the ram gets protected from sparks and the ejecting metal from the ladle during tilting, and d) hollow ram enhances structural stability to the cylinder due to which it has a long service life. Q. Could you elaborate about the history of the company? Renuka Equipments Private Limited was founded in the year 1997. In the initial stages, we used to undertake erection and installation jobs of various equipment and machines at steel plants and we executed orders for such frontline steel manufacturers as JSW Steel, Kalyani Steel, SJK Steel, etc. Thereafter, in 2003, we started manufacturing small items at our works for power and steel plants. The maximum weight of the equipment manufactured by us till 2007 was only 2 MT. During this process we observed that there was a requirement for heavy or capital equipment in specific areas of steel plants such as blast furnace, steel melt shop, caster, sinter plant, etc. and some of the leading suppliers were reputed companies like Mukand, Simplex, BEC, etc. We felt then that this would us provide us with the right opportunity to expand our operations. So, in order to bridge the gap between demand and supply, we decided to enter into heavy equipment manufacturing for which we built a production facility that could cater to 60 tons in single piece. The nature of this equipment, which is related to handling hot metal,
is such that it calls for a lot of safety measures. Therefore, it was initially a big challenge to get everything in place and also penetrate the market. However, with our commitment to quality and engineering standards, we convinced companies like Kalyani Steel, Bhushan Power & Steel and JSW Steel, among others, to give us our first few orders. After the initial gestation period, our products were well accepted by customers. Now, of course, they are at par or even better than the products of established companies. The simple reason is that we have a strong design team and we offer cost-effective and novel solutions to our customers. What are the products that you manufacture now and where do they find their application? We are a manufacturer of equipment such as pellet heat hardening systems, hydraulic ladle tilting systems, hot metal and steel ladles, transfer cars, hot metal ladle cars, pig casting machines, above burden probes, scrap charging buckets, water-cooled roof sections and various other equipments. The application of the products is in integrated steel plants. Q. Are all these products customised as per clients’ requirements? Yes, all the products or equipments are tailored to clients’ specifications. We have a specialisa-

nese-bearing plant waste like bag filter/ESP dust, gas cleaning sludge, etc. Further, through in-house research, we have developed refractory grade ultra wear-resistant metal which can be machined prior to the process of hardening. The metal is an alloy of nickel, chromium and molybdenum. The novel metal can be cast in any shape and form and hence finds vast applications for pneumatic conveyance of materials through pipeline, chute liners, bunker liners, machinery parts, etc.
tion in making equipments for hot metal handling, casting, pelletization and sintering and our clients place orders keeping this domain expertise in mind. Q. What innovations have been introduced by the company in the past 2-3 years? We have developed a hydraulic ladle tilting system (HLTS) – for which we received the G S Parkhe Award this year – in which we are using single acting hydraulic cylinders. The HLTS is a dedicated system for ladle pouring and hence eliminates the usage of a main bay crane. The total power required for operating the system is very miniscule as compared to the power required by a main crane. The speed of tilting can be adjusted very precisely and with our hollow ram design, there is no spillage of metal on the ram, thus increasing its life multifold. Also, we have developed for the first time in India a pellet heat hardening system that replicates the dynamic conditions of a pellet plant in static state. The pellet heat hardening system is completely PLC-controlled and eliminates the intervention of manpower during its operation, thereby enhancing the safety factor. We have also achieved a breakthrough with a new raw material – an agglomerate of iron ore fines/ iron-bearing plant waste adopting a sintering route suitable for the direct reduced iron (DRI) process. Q. Could you cite any case study of the results of research done by your company? REPL has designed a process of sintering 100% ultrafine manganese (Mn) ore. The novel process aims at attaining a high degree of reduction while producing strong porous sinters. The company’s research has opened an avenue to ferro alloy produces for recycling of manga-

Q. How has been the growth curve of the company? Growth has been more or less stagnant due to compounding problems in the steel Industry. Since the products are tailor-made, they can be supplied to specific companies only. For the past few years the steel industry has been plagued by many issues and this has led to huge inventories piled up with us, thus affecting our working capital cycle. Q. What is the company’s production infrastructure? We have a modern iron and steel foundry capable of casting 8 T single pieces along with state-of-the-art modern machine shop and tool room equipped with boring, turning, shaping, planing, milling, drilling and grinding facilities. Our R&D and chemical laboratory is fully equipped for metal and mineral testing. We have a quality control department with third party inspection and testing covering dimensional inspection, DP testing, ultrasonic testing, radiography, metallography, pneumatic and hydro pressure testing, electrical testing, pressure testing, etc. We are equipped with material handling equipments like EOT cranes that can lift material up to 60 tons single piece. We also have the biggest stress-relieving furnace in central India where we can stress-relieve big jobs as well as plate bending machines, welding machines, machine shop, etc. Q. Could you name some of your clients? Our major clients are JSW Steel, Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd., Bhushan Steel Ltd., BHEL,
Tata Projects, Gerdau Steel Ltd., MECON, SAIL, Kirloskar Ferrous Industries Ltd., Electrosteel Ltd., among others. Q. What are your expansion plans for the year 2018? With the end customers in distress, we are keeping all our expansion plans on hold. When the situation improves we will go for capacity expansion. Q. What do you think will trigger further growth - will it be the growth expected in the iron and steel sector due to the Smart Cities and infrastructure development program of the government? As of now, a majority of steel companies have been referred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), thereby making the situation very fluid. Since the onset of the MSP by the government since January 2016, the production of the steel plants had picked up as imports were curtailed to a very great extent. However, as they are now being referred to the NCLT, they may not be able to leverage the growth potential to the fullest. In the small and medium term it seems that the iron and steel industry will be in stress in spite of the government’s ambitious programs of Make in India or Smart Cities. Q. What are the major challenges faced in this sector? The challenges are multifold and these include severe competition amongst vendors because there are far too many players in this segment now as compared to earlier days as also non-surety that the material which is manufactured will be lifted and then payment will be received on time. There are other issues like low margins in regular work, high vulnerability of the workforce as they demand more wages, high cost of capital from banks for SMEs, etc.

Perfecting the art of Welding Pune-based Vineet Marathe, the founder of Vinarc Engineers, is one of the very few in the country with specialisation in aluminium welding processes. It is this expertise that has made his company a dependable vendor for making various products and systems for India’s defense establishments, reports Huned Contractor
Vineet Marathe, Founder Vinarc Engineers
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com

ery few people outside the defense forces of India would know much about the design, manufacture and functionality of the weaponry that is used, including carbines, assault rifles, grenade launchers or sophisticated rocket deployment systems. Pune’s Vineet Marathe, in that sense, is the fortunate one who has access to all such information and more. That’s because Marathe has been associated with such defense bodies as the Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE) and the Defense Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), among others, for more than two decades now, having received the first manufacturing inquiry in 1994 when his company, Vinarc Engineers, was just two years’ old. Recalling that heady period when he got a call from the ARDE to help design and manu-
facture aluminium pod launchers for a rocket deployment system, Marathe says, “We were already into the business of welding and fabrication but this particular inquiry came my way because I had domain expertise in aluminium welding. This particular branch of welding requires specialisation and there are very few companies even today that offer this service.” It took up to two years for Marathe and his team to design, test and validate the perfect pod launcher, which eventually came into use during the Kargil War. “More than the business part, it was immensely satisfying to know that there had been no hiccups during their use in such a critical situation,” he adds. However, the story of Marathe’s entrepreneurship began much earlier and in fact can be traced back to 1983 when he graduated from the prestigious College of Engineering Pune (COEP) in 1983 with a degree in metallurgy. “I immediately joined TELCO as a welding incharge and worked there for eight years but at the back of my mind was the dream of setting up my own enterprise. This came true in 1992 when I and my father, Subhash Marathe, decided to start our own welding business. With my contacts in the automotive sector, we got our first few welding jobs from companies known to me but then the business began to expand with new customers, mainly automotive OEMs and component manufacturers, who were looking for the best kind of welding,” Marathe narrates. Today, Vinarc Engineers, with two production facilities in the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation area of Pune, has an extended portfolio of services that includes welding, machining, fabrication, painting, inspection, material handling, and prototype development. “When it comes to welding, we can work with any material of any thickness. We have all kind of welding facilities such as gas, arc, TIG, MIG,
72 INDUSTRY FOCUS
SAW, plasma cutting, metal spray, resistance as well as robots,” Marathe informs. But what really gives his company an edge over the others is that it can even undertake welding of two different materials. Also, apart from customization, Vinarc Engineers offers end-toend solutions, including for products that the Indian Army may require. One such is the shell used for bombs, the making of which requires precision and seamless welding techniques. Elaborating about his business model, Marathe reveals that while 30% of it is derived from the jobs received from the defense establishments, the rest continues to be primarily taken up by the automotive and related sectors. Interestingly, even at full capacity, Marathe finds time to explore niche areas such as making chairs for specific purposes, as for example foldable ones that can be used in tuition classes run in homes or small spaces or those required by people suffering from certain ailments. “We have patented these chairs,” he says. Walkers or
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
baby carriers are some of the other items that Marathe finds the time and resources for. One of the best parts of Marathe’s venture is that it has never experienced any cut-down in production, not even during the last two years when the economy has been going through a tailspin curve. “You can attribute it to the fact that we have not been dependent on any one sector. Even when the automotive industry gets into a slowdown phase, there always are new defense projects that we get orders from. As such, the growth has been a consistent 15-20% over the past 20 years and we hope to see it remain that way,” he says. In the course of this exciting journey, Vinarc Engineers has also been bestowed with many honours, including the prestigious G S Parkhe Award by the Maratha Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA) for the Pinaka Multi-Barrel Rocket System and the Entrepreneur of the Year Award by the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation.
Elaborating about the various USPs of his company, Marathe says that primarily these can be credited to his never-ending search for the latest welding technologies from around the world and the best-in-class welding machines. “We procure state-of-the-art equipment from Germany and elsewhere for the simple reason that we don’t want to compromise on the quality of our final products. That also explains why our products made for the country’s defense forces have never faced any rejection problems,” he states. The R&D that Marathe indulges in along with his out-of-the-box thinking to find innovative solutions is what keeps him at the forefront. “I need to keep exploring new ideas, new methods, and new ways of doing things,” he says. For example, he is now paying serious attention to laser and robotics welding. “It’s a process that finds few takers in India right now but I am sure that it will provide good scope in the future,” he says. Also, the healthcare, aerospace and railways are the three other sectors where Vinarc Engineers wants to a make a mark. “We are already moving in that direction,” he says. Vinarc Engineers has been qualified for Boeing India and Indian Railways. Meanwhile, the next big thing on Marathe’s mind is to contribute to the welding industry as part of his social corporate responsibility. “The industry has given a lot to me and I feel that my knowledge and experience must be put to use to help the next generation of welding technologists,” he states. That’s a task he fulfills in his new role as the chairman of the Indian Institute of Welding-Pune Branch. Marathe is also a committee member of the American Society for Metals and the American Welding Society. Very soon he will be an examiner for students specializing in welding outside India. “Welding is an ever-growing field and with the kind of research that is being carried out in composite materials, the scope to move ahead is tremendous,” he says.

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.

88 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.
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
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. (Courtesy: Ador Welding Ltd.).

GUARD DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. When constructing its sliding guards, Youngblood engineers first fix the rollers onto the structural frame and then mount the rails on the backside of the moving gate or guard panel. The guard panel is cantilevered out over the opening, allowing the guard to roll back while keeping the opening clear of any obstructions. Due to the cantilevered setup, the guards can generate moment loads up to 136 N-m spread over four rollers within the bearing, often with four rollers per bearing assembly.

Space is also a concern, as it is important to keep the guard panel as close as possible to the fence to prevent someone from reaching through the opening.

Other advantageous technical features include: • Compact dimensions, including internal raceways • Cold-rolled, hardened steel rails for high rigidity and long life • Rails are ground after hardening for smooth operation • Operating speed of up to 9 m/s • Rail lengths of 160 to 3,600 mm • Rail widths of 18, 28, 35, 43 and 63 mm • Respective radial and axial load capacities of up to 15,000 and 10,000 N. For smaller guard units, Youngblood engineers use Rollon’s X-Rail, which can handle loads of up to 1,600 N. Like the Compact Rail, the X-Rail has an adjustable slider preload and compensates for deviations in mounting structure parallelism. Other technical features include corrosion resistance, compliance with FDA/USDA standards and a wide temperature range (-20 to +100 °C). In addition to reaping the many technical benefits, Youngblood engineers appreciated how quickly and easily both the Compact and X-Rails can be assembled— and how it ultimately outperformed other telescopic rails they had used in previous applications.

Checkmate with the magic hand: igus linear systems enable chess pieces to slide The student project “Chess Buddy” allows chess to be played without a partner using a low-vibration linear system from igus
C
hess is one of the most popular mental exercises and it’s not only fun with a game partner, but also alone. With the “Chess Buddy”, Sebastian Jahn and Julian Krydl have developed a new generation of chess robots as part of their diploma thesis. It responds directly to the moves of the human counterpart and shifts the pieces quite autonomously. The motor-driven inner parts of the Chess Buddy consists of two precision aluminium shafts on which lubrication-free drylin R plain bearings allow an electromagnet to position the chess pieces by sliding smoothly and quietly. Two players are always needed to play a game of chess. If there is no partner at the moment, the Chess Buddy from Sebastian Jahn and Julian Krydl is now available. They developed the chess robot as part of their thesis at the Linz technical centre at the School of Mechatronics. The goal of their project
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
was to design a machine capable of moving pieces on a chessboard itself, to recognise the moves of the human player, as well as to reset false moves. Both the development and the construction of the robot were undertaken by the students themselves. For the design, the engineers decided to deploy the robot beneath the chessboard.
drylin linear guide ensures movements of the magic hand Julian Krydl and Sebastian Jahn chose magnetic chess pieces for the implementation of the chess moves. These have the advantage that they can be positioned by means of an electromagnet under the chessboard on a two-axis linear system. After first using noisy recirculating ball bearing guides for the linear system, Sebastian Jahn turned to the Young Engineers Support (yes) of igus. After a joint
deliberation on the site with the igus field service, two precision aluminium shafts with drylin RJMP polymer bearings were used. These ensure a smooth and gentle operation due to their freedom from lubrication. Nema 17 stepper motors drive the linear system. In order to recognise what kind of move the opponent has played, the Chess Buddy reads the moves using hall sensors. The sensors detect whether a magnet is placed on the field or not and calculate the traction. The subsequent chess moves of the robot are then controlled by a computer programme and implemented by the linear system. The level of difficulty of the robot can be adjusted according to the skill level of the human player, so that the chess robot is perfect as a training partner.

To date, the agricultural industry has relied on hydraulic or mechanical solutions for power transmission, says Selhorst. But the electrification of agricultural machinery and attachments is becoming increasingly important to farmers since it can significantly increase productivity. Among others, the use of electric motors is the basic prerequisite for the implementation of complex movement tasks and speed changes in attached equipment. The AEF high-voltage connections are designed to meet the future power requirements of ancillary equipment and attachments. “The HARTING high-voltage connection supports the development of fully electric and hybrid drive systems on the tractor and the increasing demand for electric drives on attachments,” explains Selhorst.

External safety for motion monitoring Motion monitoring enables highly efficient machine operation – but at the same time demands maximum safety. With an external monitoring unit, safety functions can be implemented as standard on frequency converters and servo amplifiers of various performance classes and from various manufacturers; in most cases this can be achieved very economically.
T
he objective of safety technology was and always will be to prevent potentially hazardous movements. Nothing, then, is more obvious than to have a close connection between safety technology and motion generation. For technical and economic reasons, the drive electronics – servo amplifiers and frequency converters – have remained as non-safety-related components in very many applications. In such applications, the required safety is guaranteed through additional safe components, which bring the drive to a de-energised, safe condition in the event of a fault, or safely monitor the movement of the connected motor. Motion monitoring has two main tasks: it must detect any violation of the limit values and then trigger an appropriate safe reaction. It must also detect any potential errors in the encoder system and likewise trigger an appropriate error reaction.
Retrofitting safety Even with external, safe motion monitoring systems it is possible to implement with ease many of the safety functions defined in EN 61800-5-2 (Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems Part 5-2: Safety requirements – Functional). So it is possible to reach the required safety level by re-using the existing actuator and sensor technology, even on older drive systems. This is significant, particularly where a retrofit is involved, because it means the cost of exchanging the drive, motor and sensor technology can be saved. Existing drive functions can also continue to be used without restriction. What’s more, it is no longer necessary to undergo the sometimes complex pro-
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
cess of converting the existing drive program to a new system, along with the additional training required to program the safety section. The task of the external devices is to detect motion. The safety characteristic data of the employed sensors, e.g. rotary encoders or proximity switches, is significant in determining the safety level that can be achieved. Different solutions to suit the various requirements are available to monitor movements with external monitoring devices. At the highest level it is important to distinguish between so-called standard encoders and “safe” encoders. Pre-assembled adapter cables simplify connection of the external monitoring devices. These are inserted between the drive and feedback encoder and record the motion monitoring signals. Appropriate adapters are available for all common drive manufacturers and drive models. Another advantage of using external motion monitoring modules is the fact that the safety system is independent from the employed drive system. So all the safety functions, special motion generation functions and motion control functions can be implemented within the usual system.
Open to rotary encoders The external devices record movement by means of the signals from the employed sensors, e.g. rotary encoders or proximity switches. The safety level that can be achieved is essentially determined by their safety characteristic data. An important requirement for solutions with external safety is the ability to evaluate all standard sensor systems (rotary encoders in
various designs, incremental encoders (TTL, HTL), Sin/Cos encoders) up to Performance Level (PL) d of EN ISO 13849-1d and two proximity switches up to PL e. This is made possible via a large number of feasibility checks within the external safety component that monitors the sensor signals. As a result it is possible to achieve diagnostic coverage of up to 90 % on the encoder system. Through appropriate warning messages, a potential encoder failure can be detected early. It is also possible to use internal encoder diagnostics and to react to a potential fault signal from the rotary encoder with a protection violation. If a higher PL is required, this can be achieved by using an appropriately certified, safe rotary encoder. The important factor here is the correct interaction between encoder and safety relay. The documentation belonging to the respective encoder describes the requirements of the monitoring device, which must be met in order to use the device and to claim the certified safety-related characteristic data. If a certified, safe sensor cannot be used, it is still possible to achieve a higher PL with little effort. An additional proximity switch is fitted so that it scans the hazardous movement on a toothed wheel or shaft coupling, for example. The monitoring device can now continuously compare the established speed values from both encoder systems (standard rotary encoder and proximity switch). If the values are no longer feasible, the monitored axis is brought to a stop. As a result, motion monitoring up to PL e is possible with two standard components. Monitoring for broken shearpins or gear monitoring can also be implemented in the same way.
108 TECH TRENDS
Fig. 1: Group_Motion_Monitoring
Stand-alone or interlinked? Pilz safe motion monitoring solutions with external monitoring devices can be used in conjunction with standard, certified Sin/Cos encoders designed for up to PL e. As a result, safe motion monitoring can be implemented up to the maximum PL with only one encoder. If there are only a few safety functions to be linked to motion monitoring, individual relays
provide an appropriate solution; take the standalone speed monitor PNOZ s30 from the PNOZ range for example. This offers safe monitoring of standstill, speed, position, shearpin breakage, speed range and direction of rotation, up to PL e/SIL CL 3. With more large-scale safety tasks, the configurable control system PNOZmulti can be used with special motion monitoring modules.
Fig. 2: The control systems PSSuniversal PLC and PSSuniversal multi from the automation system PSS 4000 can now be used for advanced motion monitoring functions. A new compact I/O module with local fast shutdown of drives is available for this purpose, irrespective of the PLC cycle time.
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
Per module, up to two axes can be monitored independently via incremental encoders and/ or proximity switches with up to 16 freely selectable setpoint values per axis. A total of 6 of these modules can be connected to a base unit. Setpoint values are selected in the graphics configuration tool, the PNOZmulti Configurator. The third product type available from Pilz for external, safe motion monitoring is a fully programmable, complete solution for machines and interlinked plants. The automation system PSS 4000 for safety and automation provides users with a wide range of modules plus various editors and blocks for the control systems PSSuniversal PLC or PSSuniversal multi. On the PSS 4000, the safe monitoring function is wholly integrated within the user software. Two different measuring principles and therefore different functions are available for safe motion monitoring. Safe motion monitoring with a new encoder module, which enables connection to a variety of existing rotary encoders, allows the safety functions in accordance with EN 618005-2 to be implemented with just one rotary encoder. Another module enables safe position monitoring (safe speed and safe position) to be implemented with the control systems PSSuniversal PLC using counter modules. The more complex the task, the more beneficial are existing add-on functions of the external monitoring devices likely to be. In the event of an error, e.g. if a speed monitoring function reacts, a drive should always be shut
110 TECH TRENDS
down as quickly as possible. Long transmission times to centralised safety systems and their program cycle times can often present a problem. With local stop outputs, which can drive the safety functions SS1 (Safe Stop 1) and STO (Safe Torque Off) directly, motion monitoring modules from Pilz, for example, can trigger a stop of the corresponding axis just a few milliseconds after the monitoring function has reacted. Thanks to integrated delay stages it is even possible to implement the SS1 function, after an emergency stop signal has first been transmitted to the drive and after the drive’s STO function is activated when the set delay time has elapsed. This way an axis can still be brought to a controlled standstill in the event of an error, before the controller inhibit makes braking impossible.
Reaction within milliseconds If you need to shut down not just one but multiple drives simultaneously, a cascading function on PSS 4000 allows you to do this simply,
Fig. 4: Motion_monitoring_with_one_ standard_encoder
Fig. 3: PNOZmulti_2_motion_monitoring. jpg (Photo: Pilz GmbH & Co. KG)
within a few milliseconds; this is independent of fieldbus times or task cycles on the controller. The monitoring devices that are intended to constitute a shutdown group are connected via an additional cable for this purpose. Should one of the monitoring devices trigger a shutdown on its drive, this will be signalled to the other monitoring devices via this cable, whereupon they too will initiate a shutdown of the relevant monitored drives. As a complete supplier, Pilz offers the appropriate system for each application and requirement in the field of safe motion monitoring. Whether drive-integrated with PMCprotego DS or as an external solution: as a complete supplier, Pilz offers the right safe motion monitoring system for each application and require-
ment. While the safe speed monitor PNOZs30 and the configurable control system PNOZmulti can easily be integrated into existing speed monitoring structures, free parameter setting and programming on the PMCprotego DS and the automation system PSS 4000 mean they are suitable for creating new structures with greater flexibility of design options. Modules for safe monitoring of your drives with either one axis or two axes - are available in the configurable control systems PNOZmulti2.

PNOZ s 30 from Pilz safely monitors standstill, speed, speed range, direction of rotation and broken shear pin up to the highest category PL e/SIL CL 3. PNOZ s30 is suitable for all common drive/motor feedback systems and proximity switches on the mark The new analogue output forwards the safely measured speed to the PLC controller as a proportional 0-20 or 4-20 mA signal, so that the speed can be used directly for process monitoring. PNOZ s30 also uses a safe output signal

to indicate when values exceed or fall below defined warning thresholds. As a result, unnecessary shutdown processes can be avoided and productivity increased. Additionally, wiring can
be reduced by linked safety functions through “AND” and “OR” connections. Version 3.0 of PNOZ s30 also enables broken shear pin speed monitoring at a frequency of 10 mHz monitoring. This feature enables extremely slow running speed applications. The PNOZ s30 is operated via a rotary knob and has illuminated display which saves time during commissioning and setting parameters.

In such automated plants, slip rings supply rotating plant elements such as e.g. rotary indexing machines with electrical power and trans-mit control signals and data, often also in combination with liquids and gases. The important point here is a long and reliable service life, which can only be achieved with long maintenance cycles and the necessary slip ring robustness.

The goals in modern industry are defined with superlatives. Always reach the maximum, in shortest time, with always more efficient processes. The trend is moving towards efficient, self-organizing and resource-saving production facilities. Nevertheless, the basis for achieving this is the acquisition and transmission of operational data between plant elements along the value chain, as well as for plant control. Accordingly, the volume of data to be transmitted and the transmission speed are constantly increasing. Often, in such highly-efficient facilities, the main process steps are carried out on rotary indexing ta-bles in order to save space. The electrical power supply of the active elements mounted on the carou-sels and data communication with other peripheral plant elements take place via slip rings. An applica-tion example is given by beverage filling, which includes individual process steps such as filling, clos-ing and labeling. Due to space constraints, these processes are carried out on rotary indexing tables. Kübler offers here suitable slip ring solutions.
Long maintenance cycles and interference-free transmission. The efficiency increase, highest availability and strongly increasing networking of modern production facilities lead to significantly increased demands also on the slip rings used. Besides transmitting high electrical currents and signals, the slip rings must be integrable in the digital network and transmit relia-bly Ethernet-based data.
High-current slip ring SR250H up to 80 A and more.
The demand for maximum plant availability makes long service life and very long maintenance cycles indispensable. Discussions with the operators of very large production facilities showed in addition the desire to acquire information about the operating condition of the slip ring, in order to take it into con-sideration within the framework of predictive maintenance. This would allow reducing further the risk of unscheduled facility downtime. Kübler’s new slip ring generation offers the ideal solution for applications in industrial automation. The slip rings of the SR120, SR160 and SR250 product families are Ethernet capable and transmit, be-sides electrical power and control signals, large data volumes in real-time. The development and mar-ket launch of the SR250 product range now allow transmitting currents up to 120 A without interfering with the transmission of the Ethernet data. High-quality, very reliable contact systems are the basis of the exceptionally long service life and maintenance cycles of these slip rings.
Individually adaptable Various actuators, sensors and drives are mounted on the rotary indexing tables, depending on the application or on the process step within a complete facility. Therefore the demands placed on the slip ring also vary. Thanks to their modular construction, Kübler slip rings can be individually adapted to the

requirements. Many applications require, besides the transmission of electricity, also the transmission of gaseous or liquid media. Kübler offers a solution also for these applications with ready-to-mount assembled combinations of an electrical slip ring and a suitable media lead-through, ensuring its customers a significantly simplified and fast installation in the production plant.
Ethernet data up to 1 Gbps As standard, the transmission of Ethernet data in Kübler slip rings is based on a contacting transmis-sion technology. A specially developed electrical shield concept, combined with a high-quality, ex-tremely reliable contact system, allows transmitting very reliably, in addition to electrical currents up to 120 A and electrical signals, also signals from
Ethernet-based data. It allows achieving transmission rates up to 100 megabits per second. Data transmission is independent of the Ethernet protocol and can therefore be used universally for all Ethernet protocols. For transmissions beyond 100 Mbps, Kübler uses a non-contacting transmission technology, allowing achieving transmission rates up to 1 Gbps. It can also be used for almost all usual Ethernet protocols and it can be entirely integrated in the slip ring housing. The standard connectors mounted on the housing ensure easy integration of the slip ring in the network.
Condition monitoring: Slip rings with integrated sensors The acquisition of corresponding operational data is the basic prerequisite for the control and optimiza-tion of the production processes and the efficient timing of the production

orders. In modern facilities, this is achieved thanks to extensive installation of sensors in all plant elements, up to the product. Also information about the operating condition of the single components is very important. Thanks to pre-dictive maintenance, they contribute to prevent unscheduled facility downtime due to defect or wear of single components. This aspect is gaining importance not only in the area of industrial automation, but also in other branches and applications. Against this backdrop, also the demand for slip rings with inte-grated sensors is increasing. This concerns on the one hand the acquisition of information relating to the operating condition of the slip ring, such as e.g. the remaining service life, but on the other hand also data relating to operating parameters such as the temperature and the angular position. Kübler achieves this with suitable sensors integrated in the slip ring. Incidentally, the sensors measuring the angular position are also manufactured by Kübler. This gives the “traditionally passive component” slip ring an increasing active role and it is to be expected that this trend will continue.

Manufacturers are permitted to self-certify that they have met the standards, issue their own Declaration of Conformity, and mark the product “CE”. The CE mark is not, therefore, a guarantee
of independent testing. In contrast ‘UL’ mark is permissible only. If the product has been tested in independent. It is possible for a manufacturer to self-certify that its tester is CAT II or CAT Ill without any independent verification. ‘UL’ or ‘UL’ authorized labs & meets their standards. It is safer to buy ‘UL’ marked products than ‘CE’ marked products. The IEC (International Electra technical Commission) develops and proposes standards, but it is not responsible for enforcing the standards.

New trends in Cable & Connection Technology Industry 4.0, Digitization and the ever-changing world is demanding flexible and robust cabling solutions. To meet the growing demand of the manufacturers adapting the fast-growing technology, following are the 5 new trends in cable and connection technology. 1 Shift towards intensified networking and miniaturization With world moving towards digitization, cable and connection technology is changing rapidly. One of the many changes is that a large number of products and even individual components need to and can communicate. In other words, an increasing volume of data has to be transmitted at increasingly fast speeds. Similar on-going application that was adapted in offices years before is now being implemented in factories. Continuous intensification in the performance of microchips is not only driving digitalization but also is resulting in a move towards increasingly smaller and more compact products and devices. The smartphones of today have the processing power of a 1990s super computer but has a fraction of the size, energy consumption and price. This factor has had a huge impact on industrial connection technology. Robots and other machines are becoming more compact and are demanding an increasing number of data connections. Special cable designs with the insulation and technical tricks help to save space. As a result, the trend is moving towards frequent use of hybrid cables, which combine the power cable, data cables and even hoses for pneumatics and hydraulics in a single sheath. Where large data volumes

are being transmitted, one high-speed Cat.7 Industrial Ethernet cable can replace several slower varieties and one fiberglass cable can replace even more copper-based ones. Not just the cables, but the connectors too are getting leaner. The modular connector systems combine numerous contacts for different cables in a single housing. The cables to be used in production environment have to withstand millions of bends and torsion as well as high temperature & harsh environments.
2 Connectors as an alternative to direct wiring In the era of Industry 4.0, one can imagine producing a TV set today and vacuum cleaner tomorrow. Industry 4.0 is nothing
but production processes becoming more modular and flexible. In other words, individual production modules are exchanged or rearranged in next to no time. Here the challenge that a cable and connection technology has to face is that earlier electrical connectors were previously fixed and soldered installations that were subsequently not touched for many years. However, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flexibility calls for connectors that can be disconnected and reattached numerable times and still create a reliable contact. Connectors are getting modular to adapt to the flexible production process. For example, in drives, they combine contacts for high currents with Gigabit speed data connections and in some cases even with pneumatics or hydraulics. Hence, when we have to upgrade a machine, it becomes easy to configure and reassembled time and again.

can certainly be resolved. There are challenges for cable manufacturers too. These are strong indications that the plastics used for insulation and cable sheaths age differently under the influence of the fields generated by direct current. Research projects are currently exploring these issues.
5 Coexistence of cable and wireless
invitation process and the other fast-growing technology, the companies need to concentrate on assembly cables. The cables that can be tailored by shortening cables, attaching connectors and creating complete energy chains. Machine manufacturers too are increasingly demanding tailored, ready-to-use assemblies that they can easily incorporate into their machines. Ready-touse assemblies are also more durable as the supplier guarantees the quality of the entire system, and the user does not have to worry about installation errors such as forgotten end sleeves or damage to the insulation. With assemblies direct from the manufacturer, customers can also benefit from expert knowhow and always be sure the technology they use is top notch. The manufacturers of cable and connection technology have to introduce efficient, ideally automated processes and must be capable of quickly delivering highly complex customized one-off solutions to their clients and help them in smooth production. This requires more than just changing priorities in the traditional quality, cost and time framework. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimum processes bring about improvements in all three dimensions.
4 DC replacing AC An increasing number of electronic devices such as, TVs, computers, smartphones, LED lights etc. demand direct current (DC). Earlier there was need for the current to be first rectified from the alternating current (AC)
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
network and then supplied to the devices. These days, photovoltaics generate direct current, which is converted into alternating to be fed into the network. Thus, a question arises whether it still makes sense to use AC. Hence, one can say ACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s days are numbered. When power plants feed alternating current into the grid and all kinds of appliances, from vacuum cleaners to industrial drives, the level of efficiency is around 65%. In other words, around 1/3 of the energy is lost during the conversions from AC to DC and back again. By contrast, an electricity grid systematically configured to direct current would achieve an overall efficiency of 90%. Of course, bringing about the paradigm shift is not as easy as it may sound. Conventional switches and connectors are not suitable for DC voltage because the polarity of the voltage does not change and there is no arc breakage when switching off - this is hazardous. New connectors and automatic switchoff mechanisms are needed, but these issues
In this modern era, wireless is ubiquitous in households. Similarly, wireless technology for data exchange is also gaining its adherents in factories and production sites. Wireless technology is generally cost-effective and offers great flexibility when systems are modified. With this new technology gaining momentum, it does not mean that cables will no longer be used. On the contrary, advancing electrification and networking in factories will require even more cables to guarantee the high transmission rates. With industrial production based on strict cycles, it is very important to reliably transmit the data and information in the millisecond range. It becomes very difficult to achieve the same using wireless solutions. Even if one does use the solution, it would incur a very high cost. The technology can be easily interfered with multiple wireless connections and eliminate one another. It also can be interrupted by changing weather and other unpleasant circumstances. Cables are also less susceptible to malicious disturbances or hacker attacks. As a result, there is little prospect of wireless technology pushing out cable-based systems in the future - in fact they will increasingly complement one another.

Kjellberg Finsterwalde – The Specialist for Plasma Bevel Cutting For more than 20 years, Kjellberg Finsterwalde has developed and manufactured special plasma torches for bevel cutting “Kjellberg Finsterwalde will in future provide bevel cutting data under the name PerfectBevel for preparing sheets with a thickness between 5 and 30 mm.”
K
jellberg is the longest established manufacturer of plasma cutting machines in the market and offers plasma and laser cutting products for a wide range of different cutting tasks. With these high-quality products made in Germany excellent results can be achieved for automated, mechanised or manual cutting. Kjellbergs subsidiary Kjellberg Cutting and Welding India Pvt. Ltd. in Pune takes care of all activities concerning sales and service in India since 2015. For more than 20 years, Kjellberg Finsterwalde has developed and manufactured special plasma torches for bevel cutting. The high quality and robustness of these torches allows reproducible and high-precision bevel cuts. As a new addition to the family of plasma bevel torches the PB-S75 WF has been introduced. It can be used for multiple bevel

cuts up to 60°. Thanks to its especially flat design this torch is suitable for straight and bevel cuts also in case of limited accessibility (i.e. profiles). If it is used in multiple-torch bevel fixtures, the work steps are reduced and thus the productivity is increased. Additionally, Kjellberg Finsterwalde will in future provide bevel cutting data under the name PerfectBevel for preparing sheets with a thickness between 5 and 30 mm. With the really assessed reference values of the database it is possible to achieve precise bevel cuts quickly and easily in the Contour Cut quality for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Taking an optimum weld preparation into consideration and depending on the material and material thickness, compensation values are specified for V, Y, X and K welds. The high precision and reproducibility reduces the material usage for welding and increases the productivity because the waste and therefore also the rework can be minimised. The PerfectBevel cutting database will be available for all machines of the HiFocus and Smart Focus series. A comprehensive test and training package makes the introduction of the database uncomplicated and ensures a high efficiency of the work process.

Vehicles: • To facilitate the vehicles approach operations • To fill in the available spaces on the vehicles • To load and unload as quickly as possible, minimizing the waiting time of the vehicles
he importance of efficiently loading goods has always been evident. It has only increased with the years. Higher cost of skilled manpower consequently causes the necessity of hiring less qualified personnel. The cost of the goods is made up by the costs of raw materials’ production, storage, loading and shipment to the destination. With the introduction of better performing, precise and safe production machineries, a major chunk of the cost is passed over from the production to the storage and the loading process. The cost of loading the goods is a precise, inevitable phase, exactly definable that allows a scientific approach to problems and therefore, being able to arrive at solutions which may be quantified as Return on Investments.
prises Dock Levelers, Sectional Overhead Doors and Dock Shelters. They appear to be independent equipment, but installation of any one without the other may not result in a complete solution at the loading bay. All three equipment are unbelievably interdependent. However, the choice of either one of the three depends on many factors. For example, the type of goods, the weight, volume, quantity, dimension of the courtyard, the frequency of goods movement, the type of vehicles and the temperature to be maintained within the facility.
Efficiently loading and unloading of goods.

• That conforms to the necessity of the modern prefabrication • That may be installed only at the end of the building works • That preserves the integrity of the building parts
To choose the equipment that allows maximum electrical integration: • By drastically reducing the number of the electrical feeding descents • By reducing to the minimum the total engaged power
To choose equipment with adequate materials and finishing: • Painted with two components catalysed anti-rust and with two oven-dried components catalysed end-finished enamel, previously ecologically degreased at 100 C degrees, double phosphate, for destination on common environments • Hot dip galvanized for very humid, salted or aggressive environments • Stainless steel where fish, meat, milk is treated
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
• Anti-burst where needed
Choosing the adequate equipment: • For the type of activity and for the necessary carrying capacities • That does not require maintenance • That conforms to the existing regulations • That is CE certified Each one of the above mentioned points has to be duly evaluated and each one must find the precise reply within the adopted decision. The “Deep Cold Loading Bays”: This system includes a Telescopic Dock Leveler with a lip of one metre that remains - in rest position - closed by a Sectional Door that descends to cover the front of the whole Leveler. The Sectional Door, that for the deep cold is 80 mm thick, has a trapeze and reduced-width bottom panel that enters and seals the inside of the pit, against special insulating parts. A horizontal insulating panel under the leveler pit insulates the tail-lift room (when existing). The best is obtained by the option “automatic return to rest position” of the Dock Leveler. In case of deep cold, the insulation can be increased by the use of Inflatable Dock Shelters, reaching the top of the energy saving. For avoiding collisions to the rigid insulated panels of the Inflatable Dock Shelters, Vehicle Wheel Guides are used. Also Dock-Houses can
be supplied with the “Recessed Loading Bay” system, for “fresh” and “deep cold”.
How to load in order to save It is possible to load and unload your products in a safe way and in the process obtain remarkable energy savings. The loading bay remains with the Dock Leveler in rest position and the Sectional Overhead Door closed, until the vehicle is positioned. The driver drives back centering to the Dock Shelter and stops the vehicle the moment it gets in contact with the bumpers. The Sectional Overhead Door is then opened only when the vehicle is positioned, brakes applied and engines shut off.This eliminates the exit of hot air, intake of cold air (or the opposite in hot and inside conditioned places) and intake of exhausting gases in the warehouse. After the Sectional Overhead Door opens, the lip of the Dock Leveler connects to the truck bed for loading / unloading to take place. At the end of the loading/unloading the Dock Leveler is put in the rest position and the Sectional Overhead Door is closed, without moving the vehicle. The vehicle then departs at the end of the process. How much time elapses between the arriving of the vehicle and the beginning of the loading is the big question that must be solved. The shorter it is, the greater is the saving and consequently has a bearing on the material cost.

MATERIAL HANDLING
Everything Warehouse Managers need to know about Logistics & Material Handling Every warehouse is different, as are the materials that fill the space. Meet goals more efficiently and effectively by getting the best deals on material handling, focusing on safety and optimizing processes with the right software
W
arehouse managers can take advantage of their space by optimizing cube space and looking closely at every aspect of handling.
Making the Most ofSpace Utilization
“Identifying the source of an error proactively begins with conducting process audits — it’s best to audit early in the process and regularly. Conduct checks over the course of every transactional step, from inventory that’s received to what’s shipped.”
If you rush to fill the warehouse without thinking it through, your materials handling process will be inefficient and unorganized. Try these tips to take advantage of the space you have: • Rid the area of unused or junk equipment sitting around. • Use shorter runs and JIT deliveries to decrease inventories. • Make use of racks. Before deciding, survey the various types and sizes of shelves. Many are expensive and may not increase your storage capacity as you thought. You must weigh the financial benefits with the amount of space you stand to gain. • Stack height pallets depending on the packaging strength, product weight and building height. You also need to take a closer look at the layout. What type of inventory does the warehouse have? More massive quantities of just a few SKUs need multiple deep rows, while shallower rows will be required for smaller amounts of more SKUs. Using a spreadsheet will help you calculate how many racks and rows you need, as well as area to be used for aisles and storage. Don’t include future expansion, offices or docks.
Getting the Best Deal on Material Handling When handling pallets, the most basic means used are lift trucks in various sizes and styles There are many types, and it can get confusing. Examples include stand-up trucks, swing mast trucks, straddle trucks, narrow aisle trucks, narrower aisle trucks, clamp trucks, push-pull trucks, fork trucks and — well, you get the idea. No matter what truck you buy, it’s important your team knows how to transport goods safely. Improper transportation can lead to damaged goods, or worse yet, injury for employees. Conveyors are also helpful when delivering product from the manufacturing location to your warehouse. While conveyor installation and maintenance costs are expensive, the benefit is that they’re not as costly to operate as hiring drivers to run lift trucks. If hauling cases over long distances, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) are an economical choice. Build relationships with dealers that have a solid reputation, and take their recommendations to heart. It’s still a good idea to request demonstrations and visit sites that have equipment with related applications. If the process becomes too complicated, consultants are willing to assist.
On Safety in the Warehouse Making sure employees follow safety procedures while operating warehouse equipment is essential, but warehouse managers shouldn’t overlook equipment maintenance and warehouse cleanliness — both of which
www.engrreview.com | NOVEMBER 2017
130 TECH TRENDS
can contribute to safety hazards. Warehouse floors go through wear and tear and aren’t the easiest to maintain, with fuel spills and tire damage from forklifts. At the very least, an under-maintained warehouse floor presents an eyesore, but it poses a safety hazard at the worst. Typically, dry particulate soils make up 80 percent of soils affecting a warehouse environment, and sweeping is the best first defense, not scrubbing. Regularly maintaining warehouse floors also keeps products clean, ridding them of dirt, dust and sand, and keeping handling more hygienic. When forklifts leak fluids, is anyone cleaning it up? This is an immediate cause for concern when it comes to slipping, but any grime or stains also reflect on how well the warehouse is run. Proper and thorough equipment training is also vital for personnel to stay safe in the warehouse.
Managing Processes With Software for Efficiency A standardized process helps to effectively and efficiently manage inventory. Depending on the industry the warehouse serves with its stock, managing lot numbers helps minimize
NOVEMBER 2017 | www.engrreview.com
business costs, especially for foodstuff, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. To maintain an accurate inventory, utilize cycle counting to measure the success of current processes and accountability for prospective error sources. Periodic 100 percent counts may be done through full-building counts or continual inventory maintenance counts. Identifying the source of an error proactively begins with conducting process audits — it’s best to audit early in the process and regularly. Conduct checks over the course of every transactional step, from inventory that’s received to what’s shipped. These processes are best assisted with software for warehouse inventory management, which helps to reduce data entry and with real-time tracking. Using a WMS or ERP system will boost efficiency by outlining the best methods and routes for pick-up and putting product away. These systems also send automated lists of picks to reduce waste and mistakes. RFID readers will improve transaction accuracy and minimize picking errors. Sometimes, you will have to create a manual picking plan by analyzing current material patterns of use. Storing high-volume
inventory close to the front saves travel time, and storing frequently sold items close to each other will help streamline warehouse operations. Some warehouse management systems (WMS) work with QuickBooks to produce a purchase order, making life easier for the warehouse manager. Warehouse managers should optimize available space, invest in the proper equipment and maintenance, focus on safety and utilize warehouse management systems to create the most efficient of warehouses. Managers who pay attention to these elements of logistics and material handling will have a better shot at running well-organized and productive warehouse where employees are happy to work.

n operational practice for production companies, machines and plants are often converted, modernised and expanded over the years. A professional assessment then needs to be carried out to determine whether the machines still comply with the latest guidelines and regulations. Companies also often aim to introduce company-specific group standards in machine safety which are to be applied to all production sites around the world. A safety technology audit of the machinery installed is also useful in these cases. An example: A globally active phar-maceuticals and consumer goods company has taken over an international company. After the merger, conformity with safety-related requirements is to be examined. The safety assessment commissioned from the solution consultants, who are mainly certified as Functional Safety Engineers by TĂ&#x153;V Rheinland, covered over 2000 machines across various sites in Europe. In another case, an automotive supplier commissioned the solution consultants with a regular inspection of 450 safety light curtains & light grids in its production company. According to the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health and TRBS 1203, these opto-electronic safety devices need to be inspected on a regular basis.
Safety Services from tec.nicum These examples show that Schmersal has already been providing a portfolio of services for some time. In recent years, demand for these

safety-related services has increased steadily. This is why the company restruc-tured its services as of 1 January 2016, at the same time expanding them and transfer-ring them to a new company division. The new, independent tec. nicum umbrella brand underlines the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim of providing consultancy services on a product and man-ufacturer-neutral basis. It was also an im-portant aim of the new division to establish a consistent global quality standard. Given that circumstances vary across different countries and regions, the company aims to provide the same level of expert support to cus-
One of the benefits to international custom ers of the tec.nicum portfolio of services is its modular structure. It incorporates four pillars: knowledge communication (academy), consultancy services (consulting), technical planning (engineering) and execution (inte-gration). Each of these four service elements can be commissioned by the customer separately as required. In the consulting sector, the company offers risk assessments or production audits, analyses the results, gives specific advice and documents the whole process. Implementation is down to the customer. The customer also receives the complete package, from the initial consultation through the planning of safety technology solutions to the turnkey commis-sioning and handover of the standard-compli-ant production unit, including the necessary technical documentation.
System and solution provider For machine constructors and users, there is an increasing demand for complete safety technology solutions to guarantee protection of people and equipment, even for highly complex production systems. As a system and solution provider, Schmersal therefore develops integrated concepts to guarantee the best possible results, even from a finan-cial perspective. It is worthwhile to consider the development of the appropriate safety technology solution even in the start phase of designing new systems.

For more information : DOLD Electric India Pvt Ltd (100% Subsidiary of E.DOLD & Sohne Kg - Germany) B – 3 Vishranti Heritage, Gotri Road, Vadodara – 390 021 Call: +91 990 9001585 Website: www.dold.in
Welding Fume Extractor, King Extractor-II-MU 3
Undetected insulation faults in non-earthed networks may lead to accidents with considerable personal injuries and property damages. Monitoring of IT networks by insulation monitors is therefore legally mandated. The insulation monitor LK 5894 from the VARIMETER IMD series by DOLD was developed especially for use in modern power supply systems. Modern power supply systems often include inverters, rectifiers, thyristor controllers and directly connected direct current components. Because of EMC interference suppression measures, high discharge capacities against earth are often present in these systems. The LK 5894 meets these requirements. It is suitable for network discharge capacities up to 1000 µF as well as for voltages up to DC 1000 V and AC 760 V. In addition to an adjustable
alarm threshold from 1 to 250 kOhm, the insulation monitor features an adjustable prewarning threshold from 20 kOhm to 2 MOhm. The device is simply adjusted with a screwdriver on rotary knobs. An LED chain constantly informs about the current insulation resistance. The insulation monitor does not require any ballasting and guarantees reliable monitoring even if the network is without voltage. With the monitoring of direct current networks, a selective earth fault detection to L+ and L- enables quick fault localisation. The LK 5894 increases the availability of systems and provides preventive fire and system protection. The insulation monitor is employed, for example, in UPS systems, photovoltaic systems, hybrid and battery-powered vehicles, etc.
Welding Fume Extractor, King Extractor-II-MU 3 is a mobile mechanical high efficiency self-cleaning filter designed for workplaces. The filter cleans air from different kinds of dry dust, welding aerosols and other dry contaminants from most industrial processes. The filter cartridge is cleaned automatically without interrupting the filtration process. The cleaning extends the cartridge service periods and minimizes maintenance.

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.

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.

Extruded Profiles - (Silicone/Viton®/ EPDM) Mini indexing plunger GN 822.1 (back) Mini indexing plunger GN 822 (front)
Elesa +Ganter, makers of standard machine elements, have enlarged their indexing plunger range with more “mini indexing plungers”. In general, the mini indexing plungers boast the smallest of dimensions. They are designed especially for thin-walled sheet metal. Zinc-plated, blue chromatised steel and stainless steel versions are available. The indexing pin and the pressure spring are made of non-corroding stainless steel. The fixed knob is made of mat black plastic. The mini indexing plungers are turned in with the help of the knurled knob or the hexagonal stem. The GN 822.1 mini indexing plungers feature a permanently ex-
posed hexagonal stem, allowing this design version to be fixed in place with an open-end spanner. All mini indexing plungers (GN 822 and GN 822.1) are available with and without indexing lock. The designs with indexing lock are used in applications where the indexing pin must not protrude temporarily. A notch prevents the disengaged knob from turning inadvertently or working loose through vibrations. Using non-corroding steel (GN 609) and stainless steel bushings (GN 609.5) allows the thread length of the mini indexing plungers to be adapted to the wall thickness of the application in hand.

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 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.
