CEO CORNER ENERGY EFFICIENCY - The buzzword Industry is the major user of energy in modern society, accounting for roughly 40% of final energy use. Coal or oil are heavily used, especially by primary industry and manufacturing and refining. Gas is being used increasingly to replace coal because it is a cleaner fuel producing less impact on the environment. Electricity is only a minor component of industrial energy use although its use in driving electric motors is very important. Ultimately, maximizing manufacturing efficiency boils down to two options: investing in better equipment and modifying operations to change how energy is used. Capital investments can be out of reach, but the significant savings that tweaking operations can recoup may surprise you. Here are three savvy strategies for boosting energy efficiency in manufacturing. Once an initial energy audit has been undertaken, it will provide an important first step in monitoring and achieving the progress towards energy efficiency goals. This information is the baseline energy consumption, or the energy usage associated with current practices in the factory as well as existing equipment. Energy efficiency is an area of increasing technological innovation and some consideration should also be given to setting or innovation targets. These targets are based on the energy consumption of state of the art technologies, which are still economically viable. Innovation targets, whilst not immediately achievable, may become achievable in the medium to long term as a result of changes in the economic environment (i.e. greatly increased profitability of the industry), the production environment (i.e. the need for a higher quality or specialised product for niche markets) or regulatory changes (i.e. the introduction of legislation governing pollution control, energy consumption or the Kyoto protocol). Ultimately, awareness raising and education of the need and potential for energy savings is as important to the industrial sector as it is to the domestic and commercial sectors.

Meech launches IonWash System for 3D Component Cleaning Meech International is announcing the launch of its newest technology, the IonWash, designed for the fast and consistent removal of contamination from 3D components in the automotive, aerospace and electronics sectors, among others. The freestanding 3D component cleaning system incorporates extremely powerful ionisation, as well as blowing and vacuuming airflows, providing a more efficient alternative to manual cleaning. “From the point of inception, the IonWash was developed with ease of use and cleaning efficiency in mind,” explains Adam Battrick, Sales Director at Meech. “Historically, the cleaning of 3D compontents has always been undertaken either by operators handling air guns, or through the use of a compressed air powered unit controlled by a foot switch. However, both of these approaches are heavily reliant on the operator, which leads to inconsistent results – sections of the component may be unevenly cleaned, while contamination blown into the atmosphere may redeposit on the product’s surface. The IonWash single-handedly addresses these issues while also side-stepping others, achieving optimal cleaning performance.” Key to the IonWash’s design are its multi-directional ionising airflow nozzles. The system is capable of provid-
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
ing 40 different nozzle placement possibilities, ensuring that the 16 multi directional nozzles can be positioned to cover all surfaces of a 3D component. The flexible design allows the high volume ionising airflow to be directed for a programmed optimal time onto uneven surfaces of the components being cleaned – such as a vehicle lighting clusters or a speedometer casings – neutralising static charges and loosening contaminants in the process. Simultaneously, high volume negative (vacuum) air flow extracts the contamination by pulling it into a vacuum chamber where it is filtered. By providing instant positive and negative high volume airflows, the cycle time is significantly reduced. Adding further to the over-
all flexibility of the IonWash is the presence of an access point on two sides of the system, enabling installation between two lines. The system is available in two standard size cleaning chamber sizes. Another key feature of the IonWash is the inclusion of in-built safety features and intelligent performance monitoring systems. In the event the system experiences any technical issues, an alarm will notify the operator. This helps to ensure that thorough cleaning is maintained at all times, allowing the IonWash to continue working to its full capabilities. Light guard sensors automatically stop the doors from closing when the sensor is interrupted, ensuring operator safety is maintained, and an emergency stop button is also included. Adam goes on to elaborate on the key benefits of utilising this technology: “Meech provides an advanced service and support that begins at the design stage and goes through to delivery, including adaptation of the system to suit particular applications. With a tailored design, the IonWash can be adapted to specification, so that it can be easily incorporated into the end user’s production line. Because it is such a time-efficient and effective technology, the end user is getting a consistently high level of contaminant removal with every cleaning cycle
– the more contamination is removed from the component’s surface, the higher the quality of the finished good will be. By having such a thorough system in place, the reject rate as a result of poor cleaning is exponentially reduced.” Adam concludes: “As production techniques have advanced, so have customers’ quality expectations. Today’s suppliers are looking for more ways to stand out from the competition and product cleanliness plays a key role in that. With IonWash, we have delivered a product that is tailored to multiple industries and incorporates the latest cleaning technology while also taking into account our customers’ needs and expectations. Our current users have already reported a four month return on investment, proving to be a value-added asset to their business. We certainly look forward to seeing how it will perform across all our sectors.”

GEFERTEC supplies 3D Printer for ResearchProject in Aircraft Construction Reducing costs while maintaining quality is a major issue in aircraft con-struction. Especially when using expensive materials like titanium there is a huge cost saving potential. Within the Regis project (see Info Box), which is partly funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Af-fairs and Energy, GEFERTEC, Airbus, and other partner companies are working on the application of additive manufacturing,to leverage these potential cost savings. In order to reach this goal, Airbus together with its
partner BIAS (Bremer Institut für angewandte Strahltechnik) has recently put a new GEFER-TEC 3D printer into operation. The arc403 machine, installed at the BIAS research facility, has a working space of half a cubic metre. It is able to manufacture even larger parts at high production speed.The arc403 uti-lizes the 3DMP® method, which is based on well-proven electric arc welding, and therefore benefiting from wire as original material. The near-net-shaped part is formed welding layer by welding layer. Im-mediately
after its 3D printing the part can be finishedby conventional milling. The new additive manufacturing method is faster and more cost efficient than methods based on powder material. The new 3D printer has been supplied by GEFERTEC in the course of the Regis project, which is part of the German aircraft research program (LuFo). At the end of the research program in 2021 the new manufacturing method will be qualified for aircraft industry and can than be used in regularproduction. German Federal Ministry
of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) supports research and technology projects for civil aircraft industry in Germany in the framework of it´s “Luftfahrtforschungsprogramm“ (LuFo V). The funding measure is technologically oriented on the strategic research agenda (SRIA) of ACARE and the aerospace strategy of the Federal government. BMWi´s goal is the sustainable, economical, and efficient air transport system of the future. For more information Web: www.gefertec.de

igus introduces tribo-plastic If the user is looking for a safe lubrication-free bearing, then igus offers a wide range of solutions: In addition to the extensive catalogue product range for cylindrical standard plain bearings, these also include the socalled clip and flanged bearings. These are used because of their ease of installation and design, especially in sheet metal feedthroughs. In order to withstand high edge loads even under extreme conditions, igus has now developed a new material. The wear-resistant material iglidur K230 is highly elastic, chemical resistant and withstands moisture influences. Sheet metal structures usually do not offer an option to press a plain bearing in a mounting hole or in a housing and fix it. Instead, a bearing must line the punched hole, which is usually quite rough and thus
guide the shaft safely. Fast assembly, manual and automated, as well as self-retention are further requirements. For such cases, igus has the “clip bearing” in its range. The name derives from the simple assembly, in which the slotted plain bearing is guided through the hole using the smaller of the two
flanges and then “clipped”. In addition to the standard range of clip bearings, there are numerous customised solutions. There are also bearings in which the second flange is formed by flanging after inserting into the hole. These solutions have proven themselves millions of times over the years. For example,
reducing friction and noise in car seats. All designs have the common requirement of high flexibility and toughness. For quick installation and to withstand the high edge loads in the sheet metal feed throughs. The new igus material iglidur K230 has exactly these properties. The lubrication-free material iglidur K230 is highly elastic and flexible, making it ideal for flange and clip bearings. Extensive tests in the in-house igus laboratory also show that the high-performance plastic newly developed by igus fits seamlessly into the best iglidur standard materials in terms of wear resistance. It absorbs moisture only in extremely small quantities and has a very good universal media resistance. For more information Web:www.igus.in

“Industrie 4.0 would be inconceivable without functional machine safety” Schmersal Group showcases advanced safety technology at Automation Expo 2018 in Mumbai The Schmersal Group provides customers around the globe with components, systems and solutions for machine safety and occupational health and safety. The company, with headquarters based in Germany, is one of the world’s market leaders in this ambitious field. Schmersal has a manufacturing facility in Ranjangaon near Pune and is the only company producing safety switches directly in India. At Automation Expo 2018 in Mumbai the Schmersal Group will showcase advanced, Industrie 4.0 compliant safety technology. Ramji Singh, Vice President Sales & Marketing at Schmersal India, provides glimpses of evolving trends, innovations and market developments in the machine safety segment. Q. The Schmersal Group is attending the Automation Expo 2018 in Mumbai. What are your expectations regarding the fair and what kind of products and novelties will you present? This exhibition is Asia’s leading Automation trade fair with a focus on Industrie 4.0 and state-of-theart technologies in automation. For Schmersal, as a leading international systems and solutions provider for machine safety, Asia is a very important region. The Asian market for machine safety components has seen two-figure growth in recent years. Companies in
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
this region are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of safety in industrial working environments, as safety reduces the potential for accidents, ensures shorter downtimes and thus improves productivity. We regard the Automation Expo as a good opportunity to present our advanced safety solutions that help our customers to keep pace with the rising trend of automation and the digital transformation process in the industry. For example, an essential aspect of this process and Industry 4.0 are automated production methods powered by robots that can complete
tasks autonomously and efficiently. We will see an increasing number of collaborative robots i.e. robots that cooperate directly with humans without a separating fence. For these collaborative robots Schmersal has developed already some years ago a special safety controller. However, the majority of robot workstations will still need separating protective devices. Schmersal offers a comprehensive range of products to safeguard these kind of robot workstations, such as optoelectronic protective devices, safety mats, RFID based interlocks etc. In the robotics pavilion at Automation Expo
COVER STORY 45
we will also showcase an integrated safety solution with our sales partner Satech Safety Technology, which is one of the European market leaders for modular safety systems for industrial automation. Satech’s safety fences are an optimal tool to safeguard robot workstations – and even more so when combined with Schmersal’s safety sensors and solenoid interlocks. The product ranges of our companies complement one another perfectly, meaning that we can offer complete solutions from a single source to our customers.
Q. Which general trends and challenges do you see in industry and especially in the machine safety segment? Industrie 4.0 – i.e. the increasing digitalization of all processes in production, the widespread use and analysis of data, intelligent networks etc. – will continue to be the dominating trend in the global industry. However, Industrie 4.0 would be inconceivable without functional machine safety. Also, the digital transformation poses new challenges for experts in safety technology. We need to develop innovative safety technology that

46 COVER STORY
supports our customers in introducing digital production processes. For example, one of the key objectives of Industry 4.0 is improved efficiency, which can be achieved, inter alia, through predictive maintenance. This requires the components used in the machines to be able to generate data and information. Based on the machine and production data, evaluated on an ongoing basis, predictions can be derived on the status of the system. These are used to plan service intervals, to avoid or minimize production downtime and to maximize production turnover. A prerequisite for this is that safety switches can also pass on diagnostic information. This is already happening, for example with Schmersal’s RFID-based safety sensors which allow high levels of tolerance to door offset. If the offset limits are reached, the sensors issue an electronic warning signal before the machine shuts down, thus providing information which can be used for predictive maintenance. Another example are the modular safety controllers in the PSC product range from Schmersal which enable the configuring of flexible, customized safety systems on a software basis. An added advantage of the PSC range is the option of forwarding additional non-safe diagnostic signals via a standard bus system to another automation controller or the IT environment. This means, for example, signals can be evaluated which are relevant to the avoidance of downtimes and increasing plant availability. Also, Schmersal recently presented a new “Safety to Cloud“ Solution, i.e. this solution enables the communication from the sensor right up to the cloud. These are all examples about how Schmersal is developing pioneering safety technologies to support our customers in the introduction of Industrie 4.0 compliant production systems. Our safety technology does not only protect the employees from

injuries, but is also a tool for our customers to increase production efficiency.
services division, the tec.nicum
Q. How do you perceive India as a market for machine safety and which developments have you seen in recent years?
Many companies, and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, have constraints in terms of having expertise, skilled resources and labour capacity with regard to the complex issue of machine safety. So we offer them either selective support or the full service package. The tec.nicum service portfolio is based on four segments: Sharing of knowledge/ seminars; consultancy services; technical planning and implementation. Customers can order just one single module of the tec.nicum portfolio – or the complete package from consulting to the implementation of a customized safety solution. Our tec.nicum division has a team of engineers, trained from Germany for functional safety expertise and possess a profound understanding of complex legal and technical questions including the ISO standards. An additional benefit for the customer is, that the tec.nicum is an independent body, that offers neutral consultancy and proposes the optimal safety solution regardless of the producer of the safety equipment. The tec.nicum conducts a risk assessment, especially to evaluate the present safety levels of old machines that may create hazardous situations. We also offer complete, easy-to-operate safety solutions. To ensure optimal use of safety devices, we interact with employees who directly use the devices and train them. We also have a demonstration room at our factory in Ranjangaon near Pune, where customers can physically see the solution in use and experience the ease-of-using the device, its diagnostic capabilities and other useful features in person.
In India, there has been a significant rise in the demand for safety solutions – for two reasons: Firstly, awareness around their benefits has increased. Earlier there was a lot of scepticism around safety solutions due to the preconception that safety hampers productivity. The opposite is the case: Wellplanned safety solutions contribute to productivity because they prevent lost time accidents which cause production loss and economic damage. Secondly, international standards and global safety norms have propelled Indian companies to augment their safety initiatives. Therefore, Schmersal welcomes the decision of the BIS, the Bureau of Indian Standards, to adopt the ISO Standards. Not only because it will contribute to economic growth in India by facilitating immensely the import and export of machines to and from India. More important is, that employees in India will benefit from improved safety standards. And, last not least, our customers, too, will benefit from the introduction of the ISO standards. They should welcome this development even more because all Schmersal products already comply with the ISO standards, that means: When our customers buy our products, they can be sure that these components are 100 % compliant to the new Indian norms – at no extra cost involved. Also, when Schmersal designs more complex safety solutions for specific applications, our customers can be sure that these solutions are compliant to the new norms. In addition, we will support our customers with our expertise, mainly provided by our safety

Q. What is the future of your products in India ?
Baumer India is operational in India since 2008 so we have completed ten years. When we started Baumer had very limited market presence confined to only few products from the vast product portfolio of Baumer. Also most of the market was indirect i.e. very few local OEM references. In the last ten years we are able to expand our customer base very widely across all the product segments that Baumer sales. We have several hundred OEM accounts of both multinational as well as Indian companies. We are a leading supplier for several segments like steel, material handling, wind energy, textile, assembly & handling and packaging and pharma machines. We are also growing very fast in segments such as food/beverages and dairy industry where we started a bit late in India but are very fast catching up. Baumer is a umbrella brand but we have several group companies that are sort of industry standards such as hhs for Gluing systems and Huebner for heavy duty encoders, Bourdon for process instruments.
Indian industrial development in the last two decades happened more in the areas of services and information technology and manufacturing was in a way neglected by us as a nation. However with new initiatives by the government such as ‘Make In India’, ‘Skill India” there is lot of anticipation and hope that Indian manufacturing segment will now attract lot of fresh investments. With government emphasis on infrastructure, agro-processing, railways we see tremendous growth potential being unleashed. With competitive pressure the factory automation is one area which Indian manufacturers no longer overlook in order to stay in the global race. In low industrial growth era we have grown better than the industry and look forward to period with high industrial growth. Baumer products bring in reliability, precision and long life and we see that this is what Indian customers today look for. The typical image that Indian customers are looking for only price bargain is very wrong and we see in most of the segments we operate the customers are looking for high quality products from a stable supplier who can also guide them in technological selection. This is exactly how Baumer operated worldwide.
Q. What product technology you represent ? Baumer works across four product segments. Sensor technology at the heart of all Baumer products. But it is further specialized into motion control, position sensors, process sensors and vision technology. Apart from this we have a specialized group for gluing systems where is we do very sophisticated systems for hot and cold glue application and quality assurance. These products mainly cater to folding carton, corrugated packaging and end of line packaging segments. We are the only organization in Baumer world who handles all the product segments with number of customers who buy from us multiple products from various product segments.
Q. What is your vision for forthcoming years ? In the forthcoming years we have several ides to cater to which may also include local assembly/manufacture of our products. This will enable us to meet the ‘make in India’ criterion and would also help many international companies to work with us. Apart from this we see very high growth in steel, food processing and infrastructure such as Railways. For all these industries we have a very dedicated product portfolio with proven applications in different part of the world. Obviously we look at replicating and expanding our success in these areas.

Atlas Copco: Maintaining Market Leadership in Compressed Air & Gas Solutions A global leader in providing innovative compressed air and gas solutions, Atlas Copco’s Compressor Technique Division is focusing on delivering sustainable and energy efficient solutions to maintain its top position. In an interview, Conrad Latham- General Manager, Atlas Copco Compressor Technique, India reveals the division’s focus on R&D and innovation. Latham talks about evolving market trends, opportunities and challenges in India and his future growth plans for the company. Excerpts: Q. Being one of the leading manufacturers of industrial compressors in India, how according to you the market has evolved over the years? Update us about the recent technology trends emerging in the segment?
Conrad Latham- General Manager, Atlas Copco Compressor Technique, India
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
The market has evolved in a few ways. There is clear acceptance that India is a growing market for manufacturing and therefore the interest from International companies means it becomes a more competitive market to operate in for compressor manufactures. India has always been a price sensitive market and this remains in a lot of the segments, but we do also see that there are a few segments that are driving their purchasing decisions on energy efficiency more now than before. In a lot of industries, the cost to produce compressed air is one of the major expenditures in energy costs. Therefore, the drive to reduce the amount of energy a compressor consumes is a growing demand. We also see that the acceptance of Variable Speed Drive technology is there across a wide spectrum of industries in India, this now stands almost as the industry standard if energy saving is the preference. We see that segments like textiles that have grown in India, need to change their compressor technology solutions to a combination of screw and centrifugal compressors. The more air required means the centrifugal technology becomes the first choice for many customers as long their demand is not fluctu-
ating. For those with fluctuating large air demands, the hybrid solution of an oil-free screw and centrifugal becomes the preferred choice. We also see a change in the air piping distribution systems. Before, carbon steel pipe was the preferred choice due to its cost and ease to install. Now more and more companies see that big energy savings can be had from extruded aluminum pipes as the have a smooth internal finish and with the correct fittings drastically reduce air leakages.
Q. What would you describe as your niche? How do you stand out from the competition? Our niche is the fact that we have every compression and compressed air drying technology in our product portfolio and we are responsible for the R&D, manufacturing, marketing, sales and after-sales of these technologies through the diverse product portfolio we have. By being able to master each technology we can define the most suitable solution for our customers. We are able to define the right solution for the customers by making sure their needs are met and they remain the most competitive in their market segment.
Q. How do you perceive India as a market? Comment on the opportunities and challenges that you see in the country in your segment? The India market is a dynamic market that is seeing changes based on the drive to grow manufacturing and imple-

ment the Make in India initiative. The major challenge comes as India manufacturing needs to compete with other countries if it wants to really realize the true opportunities.
and high pressure markets.
Q. Tell us about your new product line and India-specific products.
Energy is the largest part of the life cycle of running compressor and easily represents more than 70% of the life cycle cost. The biggest changes in compressor energy reduction come from the ability to track the demand of the customers’ air usage and change the speed of the motor to only use the power required. This has become industry standard over the last 20 years and Atlas Copco’s new VSD+ range epitomizes the investment in R&D to make the most energy efficient VSD compressors. But more and more the requirement goes beyond the single compressor to the compressor room. The necessity now, is for the complete compressed air system to be monitored and controlled to perform at its optimum level. Here understanding of the compressors work with the compressed air dryers and how different technologies interact is the secret to future energy reductions. Our new Optimizer 4.0 controller has this ability and we are only able to do this due to the fact we master all technologies.
Since the beginning of this year, we have seen multiple launches under our Compressor Technique Division. In January, a range of revolutionary compressors - GA 75-110 VSD (Variable Speed Drive) was introduced, which provides an enhanced Free Air Delivery (FAD) increase of up to 6% and reduces energy consumption by 50% on average. In addition to this, we recently initiated the global launch of Smart Air Solutions as part of our Oil free air division and comprising of products such as – ZR VSD Standard, MDG, ZS’s and ZE’s, Optimizer 4.0, GA VSD+ and ZH. Smart AIR Solutions are complete air or gas solutions designed to provide our customers with the lowest life cycle costs for their equipment. These new products will set new standards in reliability, energy efficiency and serviceability and are all part of the smart AIR solutions concept. This year, we have launched a total of 12 products, each individual product has been optimized for the best possible performance in energy efficiency, reliability and air quality. These products innovations in compressed air and gases have been targeted for the low, medium

AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
erkins, one of the world’s leading suppliers of off-highway diesel engines in the 4-2000 kW (5-2800 hp) market, has launched the first electronically controlled diesel engine, utilising technology specifically designed for the 4000 Series range. The electronic engine will be made at the company’s Aurangabad facility, meeting India’s Central Pollution Control Board – II norms, and is a significant investment by Perkins to serve the Indian market. This new product, an electronic diesel engine designed specifically for the Indian market, delivers 750 kVA prime electric power. “The 4006 electronic engine delivers performance in a 6-cylinder, 23-litre configuration and gives users a number of significant advantages over competitive alternatives at 750 kVA prime node,” said Pankaj Jha, General Sales Manager (South Asia), Perkins. He added, “Other than being a more power dense engine with respect to competitive offerings due to Perkins’ unique electronic fuel system, the engine also provides a superior block or first load capability which creates value to customer segments in manufacturing, mining, hospitals, and other applications. Additionally, outstanding derate capability comes as standard with our electronic offering. The 4006 electronic engine is another demonstration of our continued commitment to serving customers in India. In fact, the feedback from Indian customers was the primary driver of investment in this program.” The new 4006 electronic engine also offers simplified service requirements and the ability to operate over a broad range of ambient temperatures and altitudes, making it an ideal choice for the Indian power generation market. It
is built on the core of the current 4000 Series engine manufactured at Aurangabad with substantial enhancements to many of that engine’s features. Electronic monitoring and control of the 4006 electronic engine is a key reason for the product’s outstanding load acceptance and ability to operate efficiently in Indian ambient conditions. The 4006 electronic engine’s control system is compatible with the Perkins EST diagnostic tool used to improve the speed and accuracy with which engine issues are resolved and opens the possibility of integrating the 4006 electronic engine with other monitoring and control systems that may be implemented by end users. “The steady evolution of the powerful 4000 Series has taken place over a number of years, thanks to significant investment from Perkins. We are very excited to present the new 4006 electronic engine to our customers in India,” said Abhinav Gupta, South Asia Marketing Manager, Perkins. Tommy Quan, Asia Sales Director, Perkins, added, “The 4006 electronic engine is a significant advancement in the Indian-built 4000 Series and offers a very competitive total cost of ownership. It delivers the benefits of electronic control in a highly power dense package that has been optimized for Indian power generation.” Completed in 2015, the Aurangabad plant, where the 4006 electronic engine is manufactured, has the capacity to produce up to 3,000 engines per year. Aurangabad is one of two Perkins plants in India. The other facility at Hosur produces the Perkins 1100 and 2000 Series engines. There’s more news on the engine front. The turbocharger is an integral part of a Perkins engine. They are preci-

sion-engineered to strict regulations with a typical turbocharger manufactured with tolerances as fine as 1/1,000,000 of an inch. Some work at peak loads for long periods of time, operating at speeds of up to 180,000 revolutions per minute for hours at a time. They are designed to match the lifetime of an engine and go through a rigorous testing process to ensure they can perform in all kinds of strenuous operating conditions. For example, tests are undertaken at a simulated altitude of 4,500 metres – nearly the same the height of Mont Blanc - because turbocharger air systems are susceptible to damage at high altitudes. “If your turbocharger fails, it’s probably not worth trying to repair the part and the easiest solution is to replace it with a new one,” said Helen Hagan, Perkins’ Aftermarket Product Manager. “Perkins has launched a ‘new for old’ exchange offering for turbochargers – and it’s proving to be very popular. The new unit comes with a full warranty and is an economical and practical way to ensure your turbocharger is always working correctly,” she added. Perkins offers three competitively priced turbocharger options: new, remanufactured and new-for-old. New turbochargers are manufactured to the exact specification as the turbocharger fitted to an

original Perkins engine and come with a 12-month warranty. Remanufactured turbochargers are built from an existing turbocharger core to the original manufacturer’s specifications including any engineering updates. Further, Perkins has expanded its industrial engine range with the launch of four new product platforms. The powerful 9-18 litre range enables construction equipment manufacturers to benefit from Perkins’ proven performance and engine durability up to 597 kW (800 hp). The addition of a 9-litre 1700 Series, a 13-litre 2200 Series, a 15-litre 2500 Series and an 18-litre 2800 Series more than doubles the power range previously offered by Perkins, extending it to 8.2-597 kW (11-800 hp). “From the compact 0.5 litre to the powerful 18 litre engines, equipment manufacturers can take advantage of Perkins’ comprehensive engine range, saving themselves time and money by using just one supplier for all their engine needs, across their global machine line-up,” said Andy Zuckerman, Americas Sales and Distribution Director. “Our four new engine platforms are specifically designed to meet our customers’ strategic and commercial requirements. We have developed a modular engine architecture which delivers the right performance, while
enabling customers to develop single machine designs adaptable to multiple emissions standards. We know what it takes to work alongside our customers as they continue to create differentiated and competitive machines, and we are confident this new 9-18 litre engine range, which offers flexibility for installation and servicing options, will provide them with the right platform for their business growth,” he added. “The 1700 Series offers excellent power density, allowing construction machine manufacturers to downsize and save money. Equipment manufacturers also benefit from a low cost of installation and ownership, coupled with a robust and reliable performance,” a press note states. Packed with advanced engine technologies, the 1700 Series is a powerful, compact and robust family of industrial engines that will improve the performance and productivity of construction machines. It has been designed with simple and low-cost installation in mind. Low heat rejection in the engine allows for a small cooling pack, thereby simplifying installation, while features such as on-engine after-treatment mounting also contribute to reduced installation costs. “This reliable and robust engine has been manufactured to keep hard-working, productive machines running in the toughest conditions – and ensure they are as productive as possible,” the press release adds. Meanwhile, in a corporate development, Mark Stratton has been appointed General Manager of Perkins’ large engines, based in Seguin, Texas, with global responsibility for engines in the 7.2 to 18 litre range.

108 CASE STUDY
Translating between system worlds Flexible connection of industrial networks
Project at a glance • Company: Schneider Electric • Solution: High-End Gateway NT 100 • Country: Argentina • Key Contact: Rogelio Hernández • Timeline: 12 Months
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
S
ometimes great solutions come in a surprisingly small package. Such as the Gateways of the netTAP series from Hilscher. At a lithium carbonate processing plant in Argentina they proved to be a costeffective solution to integrate proprietary protocols into the automation system. Schneider Electric is a global player that takes a leading position in fields such as electric energy supply, process automation and control systems as well as building management. The company has some 170,000 employees worldwide in more than 100 countries. Schneider Electric Argentina Services is an Argentina based subsidiary of Schneider Electric which is primarily engaged in the realization of industrial process automation projects. One of the customers of Schneider Electric Argentina was a mining company located in the Jujuy province of Argentina. The company recently started operating a plant for the production of primary lithium carbonate. Lithium does not
appear as a pure element in nature but is contained in either specifi c rocks or in bine bodies within salt lakes (sales). For the production of lithium carbonate, the mining company exploits a large salt lake located in northern Argentina. The newly erected plant for mining and processing is located at high altitude with corresponding low temperatures, as well as low oxygen and air pressure levels. The plant covers a large area and consists of several sub-plants. The process plant uses third party controllers to monitor field IOs and other devices that are connected via a PROFINET communication infrastructure. For a large number of sub-processes throughout the plant the mining company decided to obtain variable frequency drives (VFD - ATV71) and the related Motor Control Cells (MCC M340) from Schneider Electric. These Schneider MCCs are equipped with a communication front end that uses Schneider‘s proprietary protocol to communicate with their IOs.
110 CASE STUDY
Dilemma between system worlds In order to establish seamless process control to drive the automation system of the plant and its sub plants, Schneider Electric‘s customer wanted to integrate a solution to monitor and control the MCC field IOs complementary to the VFD control. This required some type of solution to translate the proprietary IO signals into the standard PROFINET protocol used throughout the plant. In other words, Schneider Electric was confronted with a requirement that initially seemed to be anything but trivial. One option that the project team identified involved exchanging all IOs by other PROFINET compatible devices. But this approach was quickly discarded because it proved to be much too cost-intensive for the customer. Another approach would involve a rather complex integration into the MCC standard communication front end of the com-
pany. In other words, although both solutions were generally feasable, they also involved considerable drawbacks. After all, seamless integration of the Schneider Electric motor control cells and variable frequency drives called for creating a communications bridge between two protocol worlds. The automatism team at Schneider decided to start a comprehensive market analysis. They communicated with various vendors to find a cost-effective solution for this particular project and eventually ended up with Hilscher. The German company headquartered in Hattersheim in the southwest of the country has more than 230 employees in 10 countries worldwide. The company focusses on development and production of industrial communication solutions for Fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet as well as on ASIC technology for modern factory automation. “Hilscher offered a highly flexible solution in a compact format that came with an easy-to-use programming tool for fast configuration,” Rogelio Hernández, Automatism Project Leader at Schneider Electric Argentina justified the solution he recommended Project Manager Edgardo Enz to this mining plant project.
• Easy-to-use programming tool for fast configuration • Greatly simplify any implementation • Cost effective way to synchronize communication protocols with the open PROFINET world
Translating between protocols and systems The product that fulfilled all the requirements of the Argentinan process plant was the NT100-RE-EN Gateway of the Hilscher netTAP 100 range. This highend Gateway was especially designed for demanding conversions. It is a highly versatile PROFINET IO Controller to EtherNet/IP adapter. It supports slave and master functionality in any combination. Apart from standard protocols, the Hilscher netTAP 100 Gateway NT100-RE-EN supports the creation of serial protocols with the help of the Lua-based scripting language netSCRIPT. The Schneider Electric project team was able to use a fully featured development environment that came as a standard feature of the package. It allows comfortable and rapid programming of any proprietary serial protocol as well as the IO data pre-processing

during the conversion into another field protocol. For mining plant, the Hilscher solution proved to be a very cost effective way to synchronize the Schneider Electric communication protocols with the open PROFINET world. It allowed the company to use the variable frequency drives (VFD) and the related Motor Control Cells (MCC) from Schneider Electric with proprietary IO communication and still establish seamless process control from the PCS all the way down to field device level.
Solution with future options The mining process plant automation project proved to very time consuming. After producing the MCCs that needed to be tailored to the specifi c application, a comprehensive factory acceptance test (FAT) was required. After that,
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
the equipment needed to be transported from the factory to the remotely located site of the lithium carbonate production plant. After assembly at the plant, the complete automation system had to go through a site acceptance test (SAT). The Hilscher Gateway considerable added to an accelerated system implementation and proved to be a highly fl exible solution that is open for future expansion and added functionality. “We were able to establish a standard way to integrate our M340 platform with PROFINET controllers, so they can act as remote IO for any type of PROFINET controller,” Rogelio Hernández commented on the solution and added: “The Gateways greatly simplify any implementation that involves the use of Schneider MCCs in combination with VFD, soft starters or any direct outputs.” He also sees future applications that can be realized in a fast and efficient way: “By extension, this solution can be used with any process controlled via PROFINET that needs to interact with the Schneider automation platform.” The UL certifi ed Hilscher Gateway PROFINET IO Controller to EtherNet/ IP Adapter is an inconspicuous device that measures only 100x52x70 mm and matches the DIN rail of any standard switching cabinet. Yet, it is a highly versatile component that can be programmed easily to match any application calling for process control signals to be translated between system worlds.

EFFICIENT AND ULTRA-DYNAMIC: SIMULTANEOUS MILLING & TURNING An extremely impressive machine concept providing the option of milling and drilling without reclamping and – above all – a high level of process safety with maximum accuracy for workpiece machining.

Hans Rink, Head of Rink Werk-zeugmaschinen and GROB Represen-tative for the Hessen region, mana-ged to persuade HETEC MD Friedhelm Herhaus to visit the GROB trade fair stand. Back then, Friedhelm Herhaus was rather sceptical about the size of GROB as a com-pany, as he couldn’t believe that he would really be taken seriously as a regional sup-plier of tool, die and machine manufactu-ring products from one of the world’s big-gest machine tool companies.

Herhaus had never seen milling and drilling on a single machine of this kind before. So it initially got his interest, at any event. He found the travel and GROB kine-matics – the whole machine concept in fact – very appealing.
Thorough preliminary research & intensive technical analysis Nevertheless, the disinclination to opt for a GROB 5-axis universal machining center was strong. Basic issues needed to be clarified first as to whether HETEC actu-ally wanted to implement the axis sys tem (with rotated Y axis). An axis system that was totally new territory to HETEC at the time. But as he traveled back from the trade fair, Friedhelm Herhaus called Hans Rink to discuss the machine’s axis symmetry and the machining technology for workpieces with long tools. He was increasingly persuaded, recognizing that workpieces can be machined with long tools with the GROB machine and that the horizontal spindle position enables opti-mum chip removal for both drilling and deep cavities. The question of the extent to which the GROB machine would suit existing HETEC machine tools also needed to
GROB‘s automation solution – the rotary pallet storage system PSS-R
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
be clarified, and whether this type of GROB machine with its specific axis con-cept could be integrated in the HETEC en-vironment successfully. Friedhelm Herhaus could instinctively see the potential of the GROB machine. Fur ther discussions took place in Mindelheim and Breidenbach – with long phone calls – and they finally hatched the idea of deve-loping a “fantasy component”, for which the GROB machine concept minus re-clamping and multiple clamping would deliver rapid results. There was also a requirement to create various contours on the GROB machine. Chip removal with deep pockets was another major issue on the check list. “We were really impressed by the assistan-ce we received from the GROB technicians. Even at an early stage of our collaboration, when we hadn’t even bought a machine yet, we quickly realized that GROB looked after new customers really well, the aim being to find the best user solutions”, Friedhelm Herhaus looks back to the time with fondness.
HETEC team impressed by GROB technology The more Friedhelm Herhaus and
his tech-nicians got to grips with the technology of the GROB machining centers, the more they could see the strength of these machi-nes. First the benefit that – thanks to the special axis concept – the entire length of the tool can be used in each axis setting – even at maximum workpiece size. And the special tunnel concept means that the whole work area can be used, as the motor spindle plus tool withdraws into the spindle shaft, meaning that the machine table can rotate and swivel with the workpiece and clamping mechanism without colliding a definite plus point. Something comple-tely new to the die HETEC technicians. In Mindelheim for training during the initial and test periods, the machine operators soon appreciated another benefit provided by GROB machines: The spindle is positio-ned almost at eye level, giving a good view of the machining tool. From the first G550 to the G550 with rotary pallet storage system (PSS-R)
After successful testing at GROB in Mindel-heim, the HETEC management team finally took the decision to buy a G550. Particularly because the axis concept allows for machining deeper cavities with good chip

came the GROB in-house trade show in 2015. The HETEC management team were impressed by the benefits of a G550 with a rotary pal-let storage system (PSS-R), purchasing one soon afterwards with a master computer. A major plus point in their eyes was the fact that, even with the GROB automation ap-plication, the machine operator still had a good view and access to the work area.
A solid partnership is formed f.l.t.r.: Mr. Friedhelm Herhaus (CEO), Mr. Hans-Hermann Rink (GROB sales agency Hesse) and Mr. Tom Herhaus (HETEC machine operator of the GROB G550) remo-val and drilling operations with deep hole drilling tools (Ø 8 x 650 mm) went without a hitch. The first GROB G550 was then in-stalled as planned for machining modelling components with complex contours, high surface requirements and parallel introduc-tion of cooling bores in a single clamp. La-ter on, HETEC soon saw the machine’s ac-tual potential at HETEC for machining used in die and mold construction. The G550 was ideal for machining the high-strength, hardened steels typically used in this area. HETEC technicians were amazed by the option of full introduction of cooling and ejector bore with tool lengths of
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
up to 650 mm in the same clamp. Continuing close collaboration between HETEC and GROB, allied with a desire to introduce automation for die- and tool-making processes with typically long running times, led to the purchase in 2014 of a G350 with a zero point clamp system and a pallet system that made it possible to set up workpieces outside of the machine. Completed pallets were replaced by newly fitted ones manually. But it was also clear that simultaneously setting up the workpie-ces while the machine was running would result in greater flexibility and improved spindle running times. And then
At an early stage of discussions and the process of getting to know each other, HETEC dismissed fears of a David and Goliath situation. Both sides soon learned to value each other as they looked for the best solution. The GROB philosophy of “nothing’s impossible” ultimately won the day. GROB acceded to nearly all of the customer’s wishes, developing special solutions. The purchase of a G550 seven years ago marked the beginning of a solid collaboration based on trust – something that HETEC had never before experienced in over twenty years of existence. HETEC are also really impressed by the GROB Ser-vice hotline and expert technical support. So it’s no surprise that Friedhelm Herhaus is really pleased with his Swabian Bava-rian partners, buying more machines in Mindelheim.

FKL Cross-Split Spherical and Cylindrical Roller Bearings
F
KL provides solution with a wide assortment of roller & ball bearings for various applications. The effort consistently goes out in the direction of reducing production downtime and increasing profitability by means of greater productivity. FKL split roller bearings are one such solution, especially suitable for applications, where mounting and dismounting process of a bearing leads to great loss in productivity or is extremely time taking. FKL manufactures split cylindrical roller bearing up to 600 mm bore diameter and split spherical roller bearings up to 1120 mm bore diameter. The use of cross-split bearings turns to advantage namely in conditions where axial installation of a bearing becomes impossible. This relates for example to multiple-bearing shafts, crankshafts, long transmission shafting or for events where bearing installation would be exceedingly time consuming and a longer machinery downtime would cause great operation losses. The mostly used cross-split bearings worldwide are single row cylindrical and double row spherical roller bearings. The parts of these bearings (outer ring, inner ring as well as the cage for centering the rolling elements) are split in radial sense. Most cages are constructed in brass. Connection of two halves of cage is made in a manner to withstand dynamic loads exerted on it during operation. The two halves of inner ring are positioned on the shaft by means of locating rings provided with threaded joint secured against
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
loosening. The dividing joint between the outer ring halves can be vertical to ring face, while the inner ring dividing level is designed inclined at an angle to eliminate shocks in rolling of elements at loaded area of split surface edge.
between the two races that allow the collars to snug the races onto the shaft when the collars are drawn together by bolts. The roller cages are held together with a simple clip.
Cost savings : Pros of Using Split Bearings: Sometimes when trying to minimize equipment downtime, an engineer trades one design problem for yet another design problem. The engineer will determine which design minimizes equipment downtime and gives the highest extent of reliability. When the fan bearings needs to be replaced on an overhung fan, the hassle of removing the coupling hub and then trying to pull the failed bearings off of the fan shaft are faced. Worse yet, if the coupling does not have a spacer it means that the motor has to be moved in order to make clearance so that the coupling hub can be removed off of the shaft. Hence, the split bearing minimizes repair turnaround time. Instead of having to pull the coupling hub off of the shaft and maybe moving the motor, one only has to pop the bearing cover off of the bad bearing and slip the failed components out of the bearing, much like popping the sleeves out of a pillow block sleeve bearing. Everything is split into two, the inner and outer races, the ball cage, and the liner inserts. The inner raceway is held together onto the shaft by means of collars that are bolted together. The collars and the inner raceways are shorter in circumference than the shaft. There is a very small hairline distance
Due in particular to the reduced downtime, the fitting of split spherical roller bearings gives a significant reduction in fitting costs, as shown in the diagram. In new designs too, split spherical roller bearings can give cost savings in many cases since the plant can be simplified and the assembly work required is reduced.
Mounting of Bearings: For mounting of bearings with split rings we anticipate use of fit to shaft in h6, h7, h9 values. Shape allowances of seating surfaces can be used up to 50% of fitting tolerance, generally the seating surfaces accuracy is required to be in IT6. Before installing bearings in seating we recommend to finely smear the seating surfaces by mounting paste to minimize occurrence of contact corrosion. It is advisable to appoint skilled and purposetrained personnel to bearing mounting.

HEIDENHAIN Encoders for industrial robots Significant accuracy improvement at the tool center point Speed, power and durability are key characteristics of industrial robots. These robots are typically used in applications such as welding or in lifting heavy components for vehicle assembly. Yet despite advanced calibration methods, the position accuracy of industrial robots has been inadequate for certain tasks. This is now changing thanks in part to highly accurate, output-side encoders from HEIDENHAIN and AMO.
T
he main driver behind this development has been the aerospace industry because it must perform highly accurate machining operations on very large components. Machine tools would achieve the required level of accuracy with ease but are either too inflexible or too expensive as special-purpose machines for the job sites and working spaces involved. A robot, however, can easily reach any position on a very large component, such as the fuselage of an aircraft, and can perform tasks on it such as drilling and milling. Accuracy is impaired by many factors For these kinds of applications, however, the tool center point (i.e., the tool at the end of the robot’s arm) must be positioned and guided with sufficient accuracy. This is where the classic industrial robot runs up against its limits.
Deviations result from a variety of factors: • In order to achieve the desired level of maneuverability, robots with serial kinematics are required, such as articulated robots with six axes. • Each one of these axes is driven by a servo motor with a gear train. Zero position error, backlash, and joint elasticities are the main sources of inaccuracy. • Applied forces and dynamic effects during the machining process affect the rigidity of the robot’s mechanics and negatively influence the absolute position accuracy. Thanks to advanced calibration methods, it is already possible to move a tool center point to a certain position
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
repeatedly to within several hundredths of a millimeter. Depending on the manufacturer, the repeatability of articulated robots as per ISO 9283 is ±0.1 mm or better. However, when compared with repeatability, the absolute position accuracy that can be achieved within the robot’s coordinate system is worse by a factor of ten. Depending on their design, maximum range, and maximum load capacity, articulated robots currently achieve an absolute position accuracy of ±1 mm. This is insufficient for meeting the accuracy requirements of industries such as the aerospace sector. Yet robot manufacturers have been responding to this problem.
accuracy, and they are resistant to strong vibrations. Since these encoders feature a purely serial EnDat interface, even applications exposed to strong electromagnetic interference do not impair data transfer quality or safety. These inductive rotary encoders support safety integrity level SIL 2, category 3 PL d. They can even attain SIL 3, or category 4 PL e, if additional measures are taken on the control. These encoders also provided the added safety advantage of mechanical fault exclusion against the loosening of the shaft and stator connection. With this safety package, these inductive rotary encoders can also be used in systems designed for human-robot collaboration.
Step 1: highly dynamic motor control
Step 2: secondary encoders for highly accurate position measurement
Classic rotary encoders continue to provide the servo motor feedback at the robot’s axes. Because servo motors require high control dynamics, the robust inductive rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN, such as those of the ECI 1100 and 1300 series, or multiturn models of the EQI 110 and 1300 series, are ideal for this type of application. These encoders deliver high control quality and system
Robotics manufacturers can significantly improve the absolute position accuracy of their robots by using additional, high-accuracy angle encoders or rotary encoders at every robot axis. These socalled secondary encoders, which are mounted after each gear train, capture the actual position of every robot joint. This allows the encoders to account for

Figure 2: Improvement of the absolute position accuracy through the use of so-called secondary encoders on every axis zero position error and backlash. The retroactive forces on each axis resulting from the machining task are measured as well. All of this results in a 70 to 80 percent improvement of the absolute position accuracy at the tool center point. Modular angle encoders, such as the HEIDENHAIN ECA 4000 with optical scanning, the HEIDENHAIN ECI 4000 rotary encoder with inductive scanning, and the AMO WMR angle encoder, are well-suited for these applications. Thanks to their modular design with a scale drum or scale tape and a separate scanning unit, these encoders are well suited for large hollow-shaft diameters and for the challenging installation requirements often encountered in robots due to space constraints. The signal quality of these secondary encoders is considerably better than that of the rotary encoders on the servo motor, meaning that the returned position values

are significantly more accurate even for highly dynamic movements.
Step 3: accurate position measurement for movable robots In order to reach all of the machining positions on very large or long components, such as an aircraft fuselage or for manufacturing large composite fiber components, robots can be moved along the length of the component on linear axes. For the highly accurate positioning of robots with a linear drive, enclosed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are available in lengths of up to 30 m. Position measurement from a linear encoder compensates for thermal errors and other factors that influence the feed mechanisms. These factors cannot
Figure 4 : HEIDENHAIN linear encoders
be captured by means of conventional position detection methods based on the pitch of the recirculating ball screw and the angular position of the rotary encoder on the motor.
Conclusion: highly-accurate position measurement improves accuracy at the tool center point The use of secondary encoders on all of a robot’s axes, as well as the use of linear encoders for positioning the robot relative to the workpiece, enables a level of accuracy at the tool center point that allows appropriately equipped industrial robots to perform positionally accurate machining and handling tasks on components. Angle and linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN and AMO offer not only the required system accuracy but also the necessary flexibility for installation in complex and compact robot mechanisms. The suitability of these encoders for safety-related applications also makes it possible to implement human-robot collaboration systems.

Corrosion in Fire Water Pipe Networks By R. Suresh Kumar
F
ire Fighting systems are mandatory in various industries like Power plants, Refineries, Chemical & Fertilizer, etc. All plants have an elaborate network of pipelines for firefighting. Organizations use different water types in the firewater pipe network like: ground water, treated effluent water, brackish water, sea water, primary clarified RO water, etc. In fact any water that is unfit for other purposes are used in firewater pipe network.
Practical Problems Maintaining the firefighting pipelines pose severe problems due to corrosion. The IOCL Jaipur fire accident underlined the importance of a well maintained network. The internal cement lining in pipes had failed in the intervening period and when water was required under emergency, the clogged lines failed to deliver. The MB Lal committee
was set up to investigate and formulate guidelines to prevent such fires in future. This also led to changes in recommendations in the OISD standards for all Indian Refineries & Petrochemical plants. Plants in all parts of India are facing severe problems due to numerous leaks in the fire water networks. The HSE head / firefighting personnel’s daily work include counting for new leaks. This also increases pumping costs. The primary reasons for aggravated corrosion in firefighting networks are: 1. High Chloride content in water used 2. Stagnancy of water 3. Usage of ERW pipes with internal longitudinal weld seams.
Organizations have tried using water treatment chemicals to counter the effect of corrosion in their water. However this has not paid off.
Water pipes with vinyl ester glass flake coatings
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
Remedial Measures As a result they are changing their fire water pipe network in phases to new pipelines with internal coating. Organsiations have realized the importance of having a trouble-free fire water pipe network and are incorporating design level changes. They are converting all their below ground networks to above ground networks as detection of leaks is immediate. Earlier designers used completely flangeless pipe network. However, of late designers are designing the pipe networks keeping in view maintenance requirements. They are now providing flanges for every 24 meter lengths. The flanges are rebated to avoid crevice corrosion. Designers have now stopped using ERW pipes and are using either seamless pipes or ordering internal longitudinal weld bead removed pipes from pipe

manufacturers. Various consultants have begun specifying epoxy or vinyl ester or polyester resin based glass flake coatings for internally lining the pipes. However, while choosing the type of internal coating, one has to consider the water that is being used presently and in the future. It is possible that due to water scarcity, a type of different water might have to be used later. Hence the lining material should be able to resist various grades of water. The coating should also be resistant to microbiologically induced corrosion. Keeping all these in mind, the Vinyl ester based glass flake coating materials are the most ideal choice. The next important aspect to keep in mind is the right method of awarding the contract to lay a new internal lined fire water network. In general, the internal coating is bundled along with a mechanical contractor’s scope. The contractor is responsible for getting the lines fabricated, internally lined and erected. The second type or order
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
placement is: Internal coating order is awarded to a separate contractor and mechanical fabrication & erection to a different mechanical contractor. The second type is the best choice as orders are awarded according to the agencies field of specialization. Choosing the right coating applicator is a much more important task as the correct choice will be giving a 20 year + trouble-free life. Some parameters for choosing a correct coating vendor are: • The internal lining material shall be manufactured, supplied, applied and guaranteed by one single entity to ensure total responsibility. • The vendor should have successfully executed works of at least 1 crore rupees and above in a single order. This will eliminate “also ran” vendors from offering cheap and less effective systems. • The lining vendor shall have a mature quality management system that is functioning for at least 10 years.
Conclusion A successful firefighting system should be well maintained and should be able to deliver for the one moment in its life that it is required: when there is a fire. Internal lining of fire water pipes with vinyl ester glass flake coatings help in maintenance-free fire water pipe networks. It qualifies as a worthy investment.

Automation in sheet metal cutting and welding The paper examines welding and cutting process trends in the sheet metal and plates used in various industries like automobiles, infrastructure, ship building, aerospace industries, wind tower manufacturing etc. Productivity gains in arc welding are reviewed, and the increasing use of laser cutting and welding, as well as laser-arc hybrid welding, particularly in Europe, is discussed and explained. Some friction technologies are already widely adopted, but they could make more impact with further development. Electron beam welding could also be used with economic benefit in some situations, but as with all non-arc processes, it will only be adopted if significant gains in productivity and cost reduction can be created to justify the more specialist welding equipment required. Many productivity improvements can come from non-welding activities in the fabrication process. 1. INTRODUCTION Leadership in manufacturing (welding and Cutting) can come from addressing the factors of QUALITY, COST, PRODUCTIVITY, SAFETY and CONTINUAL UPGRADATION OF TECHNOLOGY. Inflection in Metal Fabrication Technology has taken place in the Manual / Semi-Automatic Welding Power Sources - (Digital control inverters), Welding Automation - (Developments in HNG SAW, HNG MIG, Tandem MIG / SAW, Friction Stir, Electron Beam, Saddle Welding Automation, Robotics, Laser spot welding, Hot wire TIG, Orbital systems, automation with hybrid welding systems like Plasma – MIG, Laser - MIG) and major advances in the cutting processes (Precision Plasma, Laser Cutting, Water-jet cutting etc.). This paper reviews current trends in arc welding and cutting processes used for Sheet metal processing and will discuss some of the newer processes which are beginning to replace arc welding for such steels, or have potential to do so in the next 10 years.
2. ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATION Consistency in weld result - Error Proofing: A welding supervisor can limit the amount of changes an operator can make during a program, preventing him from accessing the override screen through the use of a key switch or password. Multiple parameters for multiple

weld-run: In addition to the ability to adjust parameters between weld passes, operators of microprocessor-based welding machines can also program changes to weld parameters during each pass, which offers distinct advantages for certain applications. Store parameter for sharing on other machines with same applications: A microprocessor-based power source can store programmed welding procedures on data cards. This allows the operator to easily transfer programs developed on one machine to other machines being used either in the same facility doing the same type of work. Quality control: Microprocessor-based machines can immediately alert the operator if weld parameters fall outside pre-selected limits. Parameters can be directly to a quality-control computer program for storage or statistical analysis. This eliminates time-consuming radiography in many applications. Date storage and records: It is now very easy to display a set of welding parameters and operator or supervisor can observe the welding procedure. Moreover, the data can be printed in the form of reports, which can be presented to the customer as quality assurance procedure. Quicker Weld-Fault diagnostics lower repair time: The system can be stopped if the measured values cross a certain preset variation limit. It is possible to stop the machine in out-of-tolerance
conditions. This enables the operator to perform timely functions and take necessary steps to prevent the deposit of faulty welds.
3. TANDEM MIG AND ROBOTIC WELDING Significant improvements in productivity are nowadays hard to gain in this mature process. In gas-shielded MIG/ MAG processes, the growth of tubular wire over solid wire is still slow despite the deposition and bead shape benefits of the former although tubular wire usage is higher in the USA and Japan compared to other parts of the world. The lower price of solid filler wire, particularly in Europe, is still a dominant factor that continues to favour their use. Self-shielded cored wires are still widely used in the USA but less so in Europe because of the fall-off in fabrication of large offshore installations. Care is always needed in selecting self-shielded wires if weld metal toughness is a critical design factor.

rication of beams, welding of stiffeners to beams, welding of end plates and the assembly of panels or decking. A likely trend is to ‘take robots to the work’ and use them for large part and sub-assembly manufacture in cells which house autonomous vehicular robots. These robots, mounted on moving platforms are manoeuvred around the parts to be welded and are capable of all-positional welding using the MAG process with tubular wires, (Fig.2).

4.NARROW GAP SAW
Fig. 1: TANDEM MIG The greatest potential for productivity improvements comes from using robots. Japan still leads the work in new robot installations per annum, but generally robot take-up for welding is still majorly for the automobile sectors. Robots are being employed in situations where product repetition and/or tonnage throughput are high, combined with relatively standardised designs. Robot profile cutting is increasing in usage and in Japan, some building frames are now being welded on robot lines and agile robots are also used for site welding building column joints at height. The applications most suited to robot use involve butt and fillet welds in the fab-
AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
In submerged arc welding, multi-wire, iron powder additions and narrow gaps are common ways to increase productivity. However, the use of tubular wires is increasing in popularity and can offer better weld quality compared to solid wires in some situations, e.g. when submerged arc welding of primed plate. In building and bridge construction MIG/ MAG welding is more suited to automation and is now beginning to replace submerged arc welding, reducing costs and distortion significantly.
5 . LASER – IN CUTTING AND WELDING Low power CO 2 lasers were originally developed in the late 60s for cutting and welding operations, while Nd: YAG lasers entered the market only in the early 1980s. In the shipbuilding and offroad vehicle sectors, higher power lasers (3-10kW CO 2 and 2-4kW Nd:YAG) have become popular in the last decade be-
cause their use brings more precision in dimensional control, and greater accuracy in assembly, as well as the additional advantages of high cutting and welding speeds, and cleaner working. Laser cutting is now an essential route to accurate assembly in steel fabrication. Parts can be cut to a precision of ±0.3mm in 10 metres compared to ±12mm for conventional plasma cutting. Sub assemblies can then be arc welded to tolerances of a few millimetres in 15 metres, with the same lasers being used for marking and hole drilling on the cutting table. Even though arc welding is still regularly used for assembly of laser cut parts, cost reductions can be dramatic because of the improved accuracy of assembly and the potential for eliminating distortion correction and other processing operations downstream from welding. Direct costs have been cut by up to 50% using lasers for cutting in many shipyards, and this shows the extent of benefit which could follow from more widespread use of laser cutting in building, bridge and public infrastructure construction.
Fig.3. A typical laser welded sandwich panel and advantages over conventionally stiffened panels
6. LASER-ARC HYBRID WELDING There is tremendous interest in the use of CO 2 laser-arc or Nd: YAG laser-arc for steel construction at the present time. The concept has been around since 1978 and was actively developed in Aachen in the late 90s using high power CO 2 lasers in combination with one or two MAG torches directed into the same weld pool in series with the laser. Already one shipyard in Germany has such a system in production on a panel

line, the process replacing submerged arc welding. The advantages of moving from simple arc processes to a hybrid laser-arc system include higher joint completion rates and associated control of distortion. As noted above, laser systems alone are usually not sufficient to cope with variations in joint gap in large structures. However, where plates are thin, it is possible to produce stiffened panels successfully by laser welding.

In the context of metal joining and construction, friction stud, radial friction and friction stir welding are good examples of more recent approaches, with friction stud already being used in the production of sandwich structures comprising steel skins and a concrete core and for welding attachments in high volume such as shear connectors and reinforcing bars to end plates. Attachment of anodes under water to offshore installations using steel studs and electrical connections to railway lines are other applications of friction stud welding.

chamber pressures of around 1mbar has been another major step forward in simplifying EB welding operations. The beam shape and beam penetration at, say 5mbar, is identical to that at the more conventional pressure for EB welding of 5 x 10 -3 mbar. This reduced pressure option does away with the need for large vacuum chambers and worries about leaks and seals. Simple mechanical pumps and local seals are sufficient to achieve ~1 mbar. These systems are also more tolerant to fluctuations in working vacuum pressure, gun to work distance and work-piece cleanliness.

WIND TOWER MANUFACTURING – SPECIALIZED CUTTING AND WELDING PROCESS APPLICATIONS Wind Tower fabrication employs extremely precision applications of metal cutting and welding processes like gas cutting triple torch, with Single pass three torch cutting Automatic setup which provides High accuracy, Capacitive height adjustment, Infinite rotation of cutting head, Automatic angle adjustment 20 - 50° (Option for 30 - 60°). In addition, plasma cutting system is used with Automatic Setup, Highest Accuracy, and Bevel angle adjustment: +/- 52°, Initial height setting with tactile sensor, Cutting height adjustment via automatic arc voltage sensing process. Precision High end CNC Plasma cutting process is AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
utilized with high degree of automation needed to guarantee consistent quality. Programming software, Numerical control and Automatic rotating bevel tools are used to dispense with manual tasks. Automated SAW systems with Twin Wire, Tandem, Tandem – Twin and Multi – wire systems are used along with customized welding heads, wire feed systems, joint tracking systems, Column and Booms, TELBO systems, Rotators and Positioners. In addition, Tractors and Fit – up units are all used for this application and also for many other welding applications.
10. CONCLUDING REMARKS Where will engineering construction be
in five years time? Productivity improvements can come from many different areas in the total fabrication process, e.g. general design, detailed design, contract drawings, CNC instructions, cutting and profiling, welding, inspection, finishing etc. It needs to be realised that optimising the welding process and procedure in isolation may have only a small effect on overall productivity. As an example, fabricators in the bridge and building sector continue to make big improvements in reducing the cost per tonne of steel fabricated by focussing on efficiency improvements in non-welding operations.These non-welding areas will continue to receive much attention in the next few years. For example, 3D solid modelling is expected to be at the heart of the improvement process enabling virtual assembly, direct instruction of cutting and welding machines, computer modelling of metal processing and welding operations and optimising of welding sequences. In addition automated inspection and data gathering will increase in usage to give more comprehensive Quality Assurance. Productivity improvements could also come from greater standardisation in steel specifications and in joint details and from modularisation of large structures to reduce the time spent on site fabrication and erection. Use of new welding processes and an increased use of automation and robots will take place slowly and gradually, only being justified where the introduction creates significant gains in productivity or cost reduction. As such, these changes can be expected particularly in situations where skilled labour is short, where welding cells can be kept fully occupied or where customised, made to order components are needed.

Breakthrough FARO® 8-Axis FaroArm® Sets New Standard Real Time Part Rotation Accelerates Inspection and Design Workflows
F
ARO® (NASDAQ:FARO), the world’s most trusted source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for factory metrology and product design introduces the FARO 8-Axis FaroArm® system (http://www. faro.com/faroarm/in). After more than 30 years of continuous innovation in portable measurement arms, FARO® once again drives the industry forward. This comprehensive, solution combines either the portable Quantum FaroArm®, Quantum ScanArm or Design ScanArm® portfolio products with a functionally integrated, yet physically separate, 8th axis. The 8th axis is a complete rotational axis identical to and a natural extension of all FaroArm® products. It plugs directly into the FaroArm® and results in a seamlessly integrated, high accuracy additional axis that requires no additional setup time or effort. Moreover, unlike a turntable, the 8th axis is completely transparent to the measurement software, so no software updates or upgrades are needed. This innovative functionality enables the part to be rotated in real time relative to the Arm versus requiring the Arm to be moved around the part. As a result, it is not only easier to scan and measure typically harder to reach areas, but also both measurement time and human measurement error are dramatically reduced since the part itself rests on a stable, consistent platform. The 8-Axis system is ideal for addressing a range of non-contact measurement and design challenges, including point cloud comparison with CAD, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, and 3D modeling of free-form surfaces.

As a result, this process is up to 40% faster relative to a standard 7-Axis Arm system.
Improved Operator Effectiveness The operator is now able to focus with minimal distraction on the actual scan or measurement of the part since reaching around the part is no longer required. Also, this allows complex objects to be digitized, not only faster, but also more comprehensively.
move the part itself into several positions in order to capture all necessary features, a minimum number of scans need to be aligned. As a result, post processing activities are both simplified and completed faster. “We are excited about the 8-Axis system as another FARO first, which enables a new standard for both inspection and design efficiency,” stated Simon Raab, Ph.D., FARO’s President and CEO. “Based on our engagements over the last two years with both inspection and 3D design professionals, we are confident that we are uniquely addressing their core pain points including speed and productivity, ease of use and end to end cycle time in the most creative and easy to implement manner.”

Rollon Technology for Intralogistic Systems Intralogistics is becoming more and more important in facilitating in-house processes at companies, and is also growing thanks to the constant increase in e-commerce. The degree of automation increases at the same rate as the need for personalized solutions, ranging from linear units, such as handling systems, to complete interlogistic systems. This may be followed by further development that can include collecting, packaging and palleting, often combined with wrapping machines. of self-supporting aluminum profiles. Integration of the range of products allows the linear technology experts to install light-weight “pick-and-place” Cartesian systems. In October 2017, the acquisition of the Italian company, T-Race, which specializes in linear and telescopic rails, followed the same principle: in fact, T-Race systems extend the choice of Rollon systems when it comes to intralogistics.

broken down for each area of application. Thanks to our wide range of high quality products, personalized intralogistic solutions can be put together more quickly and easily, and at lower costs than completely new systems which
are designed from scratch. For example, when it comes to multi-axis portal systems, the designers are able to choose from various drive systems for the conveying units. Depending on its function, attention is focused on high dynamics, long strokes, moving heavy loads, or use under adverse ambient conditions. Shuttle systems, on the other hand, favor a high degree of rigidity, with the same dynamics. Overall, all applications have what the end client is looking for in terms of long-life and reliability.
Tailor-made intralogistic systems by Rollon are obtained by combining four product lines:
Packaging and palleting phases are automated with the help of an industrial robot and the Actuator System Line.

Line, and includes multi-axis systems for industrial automation. They are applied in numerous industrial systems: servo-systems for machines, high-precision assembly systems, packaging systems, and production lines with a high number of cycles and speeds.
Collecting, packaging, and palleting: Some examples of intralogistic systems Collecting, packaging, and palleting are important processes within the company, which often have to be combined with packaging machinery. Here, with its Actuator System Line, Linear Line, and Actuator Line systems, Rollon is able to put together turnkey mechanical systems that are highly dynamic, with limited bending of the linear units, even when dealing with large spans. The portal and gantry systems, along with Cartesian pick-and-place systems, combine high forces and torques, with precise positioning, which is standard for Rollon. Linear systems are highly durable, even in environments where abrasive dust is present and in conditions of continuous use.
Extraction mechanisms for horizontal and vertical storage systems Rollon products are applied to horizontal and vertical shelving, vertical warehouses, and automatic warehouses for small parts, with personalized extraction systems suitable for large loads. Dynamics and large loads, along with limited bending, are guaranteed even for long strokes or high forces and torques. From large load warehouses to automated handling systems for medicinal products in pharmacies, all types of solutions are possible. The same applies to vertical systems and shuttle systems in refrigerated cells at 3°C, or at summer temperatures. Rollon has proved to be the ideal partner when it comes to modern intralogistic systems, thanks to its unload and stack systems that are easy to design using Linear Line rails, complex material flow and handling systems that involve the use of industrial robots, and the Actuator System line.

Standardized IoT communication simplifies implementation of Industrie 4.0 concepts As information technology and automation technology continue to converge, cloud-based communication services are increasingly used in industrial control projects. As a result, PC-based control technology is gaining in importance as well. The TwinCAT automation software platform from Beckhoff supports relevant communication standards for this purpose, such as OPC UA, MQTT and AMQP, simplifying the implementation of cloud-based manufacturing concepts.
P
ioneering automation solutions can be created today that extend the scope of conventional control systems through the implementation of big data, data mining as well as condition and power monitoring. Industrie 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) strategies, however, place new challenges on the communication among devices and services. In terms of the classic communication pyramid, a large-scale data exchange between sensors and higher-level layers is involved. Moreover, horizontal communication between devices continues to play an important role in all modern production facilities.
PC-based control integrates cloud services and message brokers PC-based control provides key technologies for advanced communication scenarios and has become an integral part of many present day automation projects. The cloud is increasingly assuming the role of an IoT project enabler. Cloud service providers deliver their infrastructures and services in an abstracted manner for customers globally and thus minimize the complexities of system configuration. Such cloud services can provide basic storage functions such as SQL or noSQL databases in addition to complex machine-learning algorithms that are hosted and executed on the cloud provider’s infrastructure. When communicating with services in a

From the perspective of the transport protocol, the message broker represents a secure and standardized end point for distributing messages to the cloud, and serves as a means to access and use other cloud services (Figure 1). Popular examples of such broker services in public clouds include Microsoft Azure™ IoT Hub, Amazon Web Services IoT, IBM Watson IoT and Google IoT.
The IoT communication protocol: MQTT The underlying transport protocol is the
common denominator for all of these platforms. A protocol for data transport became established quite early on in the form of the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol and was adopted by all major public cloud systems. Simplicity and low overhead make this protocol attractive even for applications where small embedded systems have to exchange data over unstable communication lines – either with the cloud or among each other. Unlike conventional client/server applications, as familiar for many years in the area of automation, MQTT is based on the publisher/subscriber
152 TECH TRENDS
principle. As a result, integration in existing IT infrastructures is simplified because of the purely outbound data connections. In addition, established security mechanisms such as TLS can be used to secure the transport channel and implement device authentication mechanisms. Yet even if the transport channel over MQTT has been standardized, MQTT still volunteers nothing about the content of a message. That’s because the message content is initially declared as “purely binary” according to the specification, which always makes serialization and de-serialization of messages application- or vendorspecific. The normal use of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for coding message contents has been common practice now for a number of years with cloud systems, yet the contents of JSON messages can also be applicationspecific and differ from manufacturerto-manufacturer and even from cloud
provider-to-cloud provider. From an application perspective, this makes further processing of the data extremely difficult. Fortunately, the OPC Foundation has addressed the advantages of cloud-based communication based on publisher/ subscriber principles in its Unified Architecture (UA) communication protocol. A corresponding working group within the OPC Foundation is extending the OPC UA specification based on publisher/subscriber mechanisms. MQTT was chosen as a transport protocol since the transport channel in OPC UA is exchangeable and the need to develop a transport channel for publisher/subscriber mechanisms can be avoided as a result. In this way, a high level of compatibility is achieved with existing systems, which is further supported by the increasing adoption of MQTT within cloud systems.
Seamless integration of standard

IoT protocols in TwinCAT With new IoT products and concepts, the TwinCAT 3 engineering and control software provides the ideal technological foundation for Industrie 4.0 concepts and IoT communication. What’s more, new I/O components from Beckhoff, such as the EK9160 IoT Bus Coupler, enable seamless and easily configurable integration in public and private cloud applications. For these purposes, the TwinCAT automation platform is enriched with the TwinCAT OPC UA and TwinCAT IoT supplementary products through the inclusion of standardized and secure communication paths (not only) for the cloud. The platform provides both MQTT publisher/subscriber and OPC UA functionalities such as classic client/server communication, historical access, alarms and conditions, as well as various mechanisms for communication with and access to the control logic contents. Communication can be carried out in this way using popular cloud systems, such as Microsoft Azure™, Amazon Web Services, IBM Watson, Google IoT, as well as private cloud scenarios within the respective corporate or machine network. Beckhoff systems can be connected to the cloud in this way using OPC UA and via thirdparty systems. Through the continual cooperation of Beckhoff in the corresponding working groups of the OPC Foundation, the first OPC UA publisher/subscriber prototypes have been successfully implemented even before the specification extensions were finalized.

At the end of the test, significant traces of rust were visible on all bearing components.

n Cologne, the company igus operates the world’s largest test laboratory for plastics in moving applications. More than 12,000 tribological tests are conducted every year at the motion plastics specialists. These include tests that investigate the use of a wide variety of materials in the most varied environments in real test. This time: xiros flanged ball bearings and metal bearings in salt water. The use of lubrication-free and maintenance-free tribo-plastics enabled the xiros bearing to be completely convincing in the experiment. The engineers of the igus test laboratory filled a container with saltwater from the sea and heated it to +80 degrees Celsius. Then two bearings were put inside for 120 hours: a classic 2-hole flange bearing made of metal and a xiros flange bearing made of xirodur B180, a high-performance plastic that has been optimised by igus for years in terms of wear and media resistance. Both bearings were not completely covered in the test, but exposed to air in order to trigger the corrosion effect.
The test result spoke clearly in the end. After just a few hours, the metal bearing began to corrode. At the end of the test, significant traces of rust were visible on all bearing components. Unlike the bearing of plastic, the xiros flange ball bearing was not corroded even after 120 hours in the aggressive salt water and high temperatures. There is no colour change and no trace of rust. A clear advantage especially in cleanroom applications and using in food and medical technology, where rust poses a hygiene risk. The xiros ball bearings usually consist of four components: the inner and outer rings as well as the cages made of plastic and the balls made of stainless steel or glass. Unlike metal bearings, the wear-resistant polymer bearings enable a very smooth and hygienic dry operation without a single drop of lubricating oil and are maintenance-free. Their long service life can be easily calculated online. In addition, the plastic bearings are electrically insulating, temperature-resistant from -40 to +80° Celsius, non-magnetic, 60% lighter and up to 40% more cost-effective than comparable metal bearings. They are suitable for absorbing medium loads and due to their reliability, have been preferred by customers around the world for many years, for example, for use in conveyor belts, labelling, handling and packaging machines as well as in filling machines.

Compact Thermal Imaging Camera from FLIR Continuously Monitors Packaging Quality Presentation and delivery are critical parts of product quality. Recochem, a Canada-based manufacturer and distributor of chemical products and fluids understands this all too well. That’s why the company is using thermal imaging to continuously monitor the quality of its package sealing.

ecochem is a Canadian owned, privately held company with a global reputation for quality products and outstanding customer service. Recochem’s Americas Division is a producer, formulator, contract packager and wholesale distributor of household chemical products and automotive fluids from five locations in Canada.
PACKAGING AND PRODUCT QUALITY “Packaging is something that is really important in terms of product quality and safety,” says Adam Wolszczan, Plant Engineering Manager at Recochem. “Our windshield fluid products come in jugs, which in turn are put in cardboard boxes. The integrity of these cartons that overwrap and protect our products must be maintained at all time.” One of the most cost-effective ways of sealing cartons is to use hot melt adhesive on the carton flaps. However, in the online process, the glue can sometimes be applied inaccurately or inadequately. That is why Recochem needed a solution to allow them to inspect whether the glue had been AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
applied or not, and whether it was applied on the right position.
Combining thermal and visual cameras in a small, affordable package, the AX8 provides continuous temperature monitoring and alarming capabilities.
QUALITY INSPECTION “In the past, the carton integrity was determined by periodically taking boxes from the production line and destroying them for further inspecting,” says Adam Wolszczan. “This was not only very time-consuming, it was also quite expensive.” In their search of an efficient glue monitoring solution, Recochem decided to try a single-spot IR sensor. “Because the glue is heated, we can use temperature information to inspect the glue spots,” says Adam Wolszczan. “However, we did not manage to install IR sensors in a position in which they could look at the bottom carton flaps. Also, the IR sensor was only able to look at the applied glue on the open flaps.
THERMAL IMAGING SEEING THROUGH CARDBOARD Recochem’s quest for an effective monitoring solution finally reached a breakthrough with thermal imaging. “I already knew thermal imaging as

And that appeared to be the case indeed!” Adam Wolszczan used the TG165 to have a look at some of the boxes that come off the production line and the camera clearly showed him where the hot glue spots were located. What’s more, the FLIR TG165 thermal imaging camera was able to “see” through the cardboard and check the pattern and size of the applied hot melt adhesive. This meant that it was no longer necessary to destroy the boxes for inspection. It convinced Adam Wolszczan that thermal imaging technology was the path to be followed: “We contacted FLIR Systems and found a suitable solution with the FLIR AX8 thermal imaging sensor. The AX8 is very affordable and very compact: just what we needed for our application.”
COMPACT AND EASY TO INSTALL The AX8 camera is now set up to look at predefined areas of the flaps where glue should be applied, and verify spot sizes and their temperatures. Thanks to its compact size, the AX8 thermal imaging sensor can be installed in such a way that it can look at the bottom of the box. And since the AX8 can see the heat through the carton, it is no longer needed to destroy any more boxes for inspection. The acquired video images can be viewed by an operator on a dedicated screen. “If you look at the AX8 thermal imag-
es, then you clearly see the hotter spots where the glue has been applied. Whenever a glue gun is delayed, you see a position shift of the hot spots, so you instantly know when something is wrong. It’s very straightforward and very effective.”
IMPROVED PRODUCT QUALITY “The big advantage is that thermal imaging now allows us to spot quality problem much faster and more efficiently,” says Adam Wolszczan. “The thermal image is very convenient for our operator, whereas a single-spot IR sensor just gives you an on/off switch as the box moves along the sensor without any further information.” “We are not only able to offer a better product to our customers; we also save a lot of time. If you consider that previously, our operators needed to destroy a box every 10 to 15 minutes for further inspection, and if you know that our production line is operational five days a week, for a good portion of the year, then you realize the amount of time and money we save is very significant.”

Pressure switch feedback in a control reliable system By Eric Cummings & Steve Boyette ROSS Controls® Troy, MI
T
he most typical application for the DM2® Series C and E valves is that of solenoid dump valve for air entry energy isolation. When a safety event occurs, such as the opening of a guard door or the operation of an E-stop device, these valves will exhaust the downstream pressure in the system removing the pneumatic energy. There are two questions that frequently come up when it comes to the integration of this valve in a safety system.
1. Why doesn’t the valve have two feedback switches for monitoring by the safety system? 2. How should I monitor the downstream pressure within my safety system? To answer these two questions, some information about the valves’ function is required. The DM2® Series valves are redundant, self-monitored devices in which both independent elements must function within a specific time frame of each other. This time frame is limited to less than 150 ms by ROSS design criteria at the rated pressures of the valve. This time will vary with valve size and supply pressure but must remain below 150 ms. If the valve were to operate abnormally due to an element not functioning synchronously with the other element within this time frame, the valve will default to its exhaust condition. It will remain in that position until the main solenoids are de-energized and the independent reset solenoid is given a pulse signal. The valve is third-party certified to ISO 13849-1 Category 4 PLe as a safety device by the German BG-Prüfzert. These valves have a single pressure switch that functions as a status indiAUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
cator. The status indicator informs the machine controls that the valve is in an “operational” state or a “non-operational” state. Operational meaning that the valve has pressure supplied to it and the valve does not currently need to be reset. The status indicator is not related to the inherent safety function of the valve and is not required for the ISO 13849-1 Category 4 PLe certification. It is strictly a diagnostic device for use in an EDM (external device monitoring) system. Because the valve has the redundancy, monitoring, and cross-checking internal to it and the status indicator pressure switch is not part of the safety function of the valve, there is clearly no need for two valve position sensing switches. The status indicator pressure switch simply provides a NO (normally open) and NC (normally closed) contact to indicate that the valve is ready to run. The switch will not change state each time the valve is energized or de-energized. So, there is no need to track the function of this switch versus the signals to the valve. This brings up a secondary question of “What if the status indicator pressure switch fails to change state? To answer this we must think through the foreseeable failure modes of the switch. There are two potential conditions. The first scenario is that the valve is actually in the “ready-to-run” condition, but the switch says that the valve is in a faulted state. The EDM system should see the switch indicating that the valve is in the “not-ready-to-run” condition and extinguish any run signals to the valve such that the mistaken “fault” can be addressed. If the valve were already energized prior to the system checking the status indicator, a properly designed safety control system would signal
to de-energize the valve and exhaust downstream pressure. If the valve were not already energized, disabling the run signals would only prevent energizing from occurring. Thus, the valve would be held in the exhaust mode. The second case is that the valve is in a faulted state but the switch indicates that the valve is ready to run. In this case there would be no downstream pressure as the valve would be in its default exhaust condition and latched into that condition requiring a reset signal for further operation. The safety function of the pneumatics has not been compromised in this situation. With that understanding of the function of the valve and status indicator switch we can better answer the second question regarding the monitoring of downstream pressure. In order to monitor the downstream pressure for a zero energy state, the downstream pressure condition should match the run signals applied to the valve. Also, the valve should always be sized to supply enough air for the machine processes downstream of the valve and, more importantly, to be able to exhaust downstream air in a rapid manner. The importance of sizing for exhaust is that the time it takes to exhaust a machine or zone is a function of downstream pressure, volume, and the flow rate of the valve. If the pneumatic circuit is unable to rapidly and safely exhaust downstream pressure, the circuit can remain temporarily ‘energized’ even after upstream pressure is blocked and the exhausting of downstream pressure begins. The use of a control reliable type valve, such as the DM2® Series, maintains the safety integrity of the pneumatic circuit by helping to assure that both the upstream pressure is blocked and
168 TECH TRENDS
the downstream pressures are de-energized when the circuit is in a faulted or inoperable state. Inherent in the name, a ‘control reliable valve’ provides a level of reliability, or “assurance”, that the valve will shut-off and exhaust downstream pressure when signaled to do so. In the event that the valve suffers an abnormal condition, control reliable valves default to the safest condition; namely, to exhaust downstream air pressure. When used in conjunction with sensing type devices such as light curtains, scanners, safety mats, E-stops, safety gate switches, etc., control reliable valves provide the highest level of reliability for shutting off the supply of air and exhausting the downstream pressure. In a typical OSHA-compliant application incorporating electrical and mechanical interlocks and interrupts, a control reliable pneumatic valve is an integral part of the safeguards designed to stop the machine operation. Sensor type devices do not physically prevent

access to the machinery, but may rather interrupt the electrical supply and can provide an alert if the containment area has been violated. Therefore, when concerned with ultimately ensuring stoppage of a hazardous air-powered device, the key question is the control reliability of the final control element, that being the valve. When there are no other contingencies for stopping motion there is no point in monitoring downstream pressure. The operator has already entered the sensing area and the control logic and exhaust valve would have already operated regardless of any extra monitoring of pressure. Monitoring downstream air pressure is only truly useful for safety when utilizing barrier guards with solenoid locks. If using light curtains or safety mats, there is no recourse if the downstream pressure signal does not match the run signals on the valve because there is no physical barrier to prevent access to the hazard area. Also, the speed of exhausting may be critical
when performing stop distance calculations. If the system utilizes barrier guards with solenoid locks you must monitor the downstream pressure in order to determine whether to allow the solenoid locks to release the barrier guard. Having a control-reliable valve within this system ensures the pressure in the system is being released, whereas, a downstream switch verifies that the volume of air was released. This is especially important if there is a significant volume of air which may take time to be released. In this case a malfunctioning switch could lead to confusion in the safety system that could allow access prior to a safe state being reached. In this scenario, controls engineers should use redundancy in monitoring that pressure. This is the only redundant way to ensure that energy is released prior to the door unlocking.

ings also comply with these expected standard requirements. Usually, a larger gear unit is chosen if the forces at the output shaft exceed the gear unit capacities. This is because a standard housing will not allow the bearing spacing to be increased or a much larger bearing to be implemented. Costs increase unnecessarily. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers application-specific equipment options characterised by high performance and efficiency, specially designed for pumps, agitators, and mixers whose processes result in high radial and axial bearing loads. An agitator version (VL2 bearing) with increased bearing spacing and reinforced bearings as well as a Drywell version (VL3 bearing) with additional oil drip plate and leakage or oil sensor are also available. The bearing spacing of the VL2 and VL3 versions is increased with attachments while the gear unit size remains unchanged. NORD also offers bearings that were intentionally oversized to meet the requirements of applications such as pumps or agitators. Chemical, pharmaceutical, food or water treatment sector – the robust drive solutions by NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offer top reliability and ensure unobstructed operation. Reinforced and larger output shaft bearings allow the gear unit to absorb the high axial and radial forces and thus prolong the service life.

Pepperl+Fuchs sets new performance benchmarks with the PXV 2-D absolute positioning system With its large reading window, the system keeps a sufficient number of codes in view, even in relation to track switches and changes to the code tape. Precise positioning is guaranteed at all times
S
Unlike other systems available on the market, the PXV requires only a 2-D camera, ensuring that irritation relating to track switches is excluded AUGUST 2018 | www.engrreview.com
ix years of experience with the PCV system have helped to shape the development of the PXV. The reading window of the PXV has been enlarged to approx. 120 x 80 mm, meaning that the Data Matrix code tape is always located within the sending range. Mounting and commissioning are easier, and plant availability is further improved. The reading window has an increased depth of focus range, allowing it to capture even more codes simultaneously and also guarantee position detection through multiple redundancy. Unlike other systems available on the market, the PXV requires only a 2-D camera, ensuring that irritation relating to track switches is excluded. To prevent this, the cameras in the two-camera systems can receive the relevant differing position signals in these areas. A certain degree of contamination on the code tape is often unavoidable during everyday operation. For this reason, the codes for the PXV have been expanded to 15 x 15 mm without compro-
mising the resolution, and the “coarsegrained” design ensures that they are unaffected by contamination. Thanks to redundant detection, the system also cannot be disrupted by the destruction of individual codes. The code tape can be interrupted by a stretch of up to 80 mm without affecting position detection. Innovative safety technology The new safePXV manages all that a single positioning system can with just one sensor. The new safety technology combines a 2-D reader with a three-colored Data Matrix code tape. The special code tape contains two overlapping Data Matrix codes in red and blue. The 2-D reader is equipped with two different colored LED rings— also red and blue. These rings are activated separately and then read just one Data Matrix code each. An SIL 3/PL e absolute position is always provided as the result.

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 process 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 socalled 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

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. 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.

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. 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 safetyrelated 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.
With more large-scale safety tasks, the configurable control system PNOZmulti can be used with special motion monitoring modules. 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 61800-5-2 to be implemented with just one rotary encoder. Another module enables safe
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.

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 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.
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.
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, within a few milliseconds; this is independent of fieldbus times or task cycles on the controller.

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.

“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.
