CEO CORNER Equipment Maintenance: The critical factor Preventative equipment maintenance is key to extending equipment life and ultimately saving you time and money. While your perception may be that paying for preventative maintenance is unnecessary spending, the reality is that without it, you’re often left with more expensive repairs.

When equipment runs efficiently, projects get done on or ahead of schedule, and your bottom line does well. Keeping that optimal, like-new condition is key to maintaining that level of equipment efficiency. If maintenance suffers, so does efficiency. When efficiency suffers, so does your bottom line.

While it may seem like it doesn’t make sense to spend the time and money to have it inspected or repaired when you’re able to work around it, the reality is waiting is going to cost you even more. Bigger, more complex repairs come with a bigger price tag. Think of more than parts ? yes, a more complex problem will likely come with having to replace more and/or larger parts that are expensive, but it doesn’t end there.

Big problems often translate to more downtime, and more downtime means you’re suddenly behind schedule and/or unable to take on a new project.

If you have employees on the clock that were scheduled to work with that piece of equipment, now you’re paying them despite the fact that they are unable to work temporarily due to equipment downtime.

Workplace injuries and fatalities are tragic and expensive. Company morale suffers, and so does your bottom line. One of the benefits of maintenance doubles as a proactive step in reducing the number of injuries or fatalities you have on site. You can’t put a price on your team’s safety in the field.

Realizing the importance of equipment maintenance is only the first part.

The second part is knowing what to do to ensure you’re maximizing the life of your equipment.

We are happy to present you ENGINEERING REVIEW’s 17th Anniversary issue, it was journey of hardship and service oriented motto that drive us to the position of India’s leading monthly b2b magazine in manufacturing sector. We sincerely express our gratitude towards all our advertisers & readers who stood by us in this journey.

The Pune centre will provide technology and equipment for air separation, hydrogen generation and associated technologies for industrial gases applications. It will act as an EPC innovation hub for the company’s operations in India and throughout the world. “This new centre enhances and supports the development of solutions for the local market, where Air Products has had a presence for nearly two decades,” said Dr. Samir Serhan, Executive Vice President, Air Products.

“We are very proud to nurture local talent and offer opportunities for local people; and in doing so support the government’s ‘Skill India’ campaign. At full capacity, we expect the centre will employ 300 skilled engineers,” he added. “India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and Air Products is keen to be part of unlocking and harnessing this market potential as part of its global growth strategy,” said Richard Boocock, President, Industrial Gases – Middle East, India, Egypt and Turkey at Air Products. “We will continue to expand our presence in the country by maintaining strong relationships with existing business and joint venture

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

partners, and by forging strong relationships with key stakeholders to achieve our goal of becoming the safest and best performing industrial gas company in the world providing excellent service to our customers,” he added.

“Air Products has strategic plans to expand its operations in India. The opening of the Pune centre is a significant step forward in meeting our business goal. We are here to stay and grow in India. It is our commitment to this relationship,” said Sadhan Banerjee, Managing Director, Air Products India. The company’s core industrial gases business provides atmospheric and process gases and related equipment to manufacturing markets, including refining and petrochemical, metals, electronics, and food and beverage. Air Products is also the world’s leading supplier of liquefied natural gas process technology and equipment.

The company had fiscal 2017 sales of USD 8.2 billion from continuing operations in 50 countries and has a current market capitalization of approximately USD 35 billion.

Approximately 15,000 from

a diversity of backgrounds are driven by Air Products’ higher purpose to create innovative solutions that benefit the environment, enhance sustainability and address the challenges facing customers, communities, and the world.

Since 2009, Air Products has expanded its industrial gas operations and supply presence in India as an engineering company. From an engineering centre based in Pune, the company provides technology and equipment for air separation, hydrogen generation and associated technologies for industrial gases applications.

Air Products has recently signed a long-term agreement with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) to build, own and operate a new synthetic gas (combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, small quantities of carbon dioxide and other trace gases) production facility at the BPCL Kochi Refinery in India.

It already operates a worldscale industrial gas complex which was commissioned in 2017 to support the BPCL Integrated Refinery Expansion Project (IREP) at the same location.

“This agreement strengthens the relationship between Air Products and BPCL, and also demonstrates our commitment to business in India. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, we are certainly focused on making sound investments in India with reputable companies like BPCL. The commissioning of the IREP in 2017 has made the BPCL Kochi refinery the largest public sector refinery in the country and enabled it to manufacture auto fuels complying with the required Bharat Stage IV (Euro IV) specifications and a greater depth of conversion,” said Serhan.

Air Products initially entered India in January 1999 as a joint venture (JV) company called INOX Air Products (P) Ltd. Known as INOXAP, the JV is jointly owned by the Jain family - former owners of the Industrial Oxygen Company - and Air Products. INOXAP is head-quartered in Mumbai.

The company has more than 35 operating locations and 1,200 employees throughout India. INOX Air Products Ltd. manufactures and supplies industrial gases including oxygen, nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and speciality gas mixtures throughout India. The company specialises in providing products, technologies and services to a vast cross-section of industries including the chemical, pharmaceutical, metals, steel, food, waste water treatment, cement, glass, textiles, paint, medical and pulp and paper sectors, to name but a few.

HARTING Connector Range Now Fully Compliant with Industry Standard HARTING has taken a big step forward with the HanEco®. The connector range with high-performance plastic housings is now fully compliant with the industry standard Han® B. All contact inserts and modules that fit into the standard metal housing now also fit into the corresponding plastic housing. Plastic and metal versions are both plug-compatible. HARTING offers the new possibility of snapping pre-assembled inserts from the interior of a control cabinet – rearward– into a bulkhead mounted housing on the switch cabinet wall.

Until now, the cables had to be routed out of the switch cabinet through a panel cutout.

Assembly was done beside the switch cabinet, screwing

Han-Eco® B enables the rear mounting of pre-assembled inserts – from the interior – in bulkhead mounted housings on control cabinet walls. the inserts from the outside into the bulkhead mounted housing subsequently. This required electricians to be on site. The option of rear mounting permits the separate assembly of connections and control cabinet.

This ensures the reverse compatibility of the Han-Eco®

B in industrial environments.

Users can take advantage of plastic and/or metal in the context of the respective cost and quality requirements.

Existing manufacturing testing facilities remain usable for both housing variants.The use of plastic increases corrosion resistance.

The high-performance plastic used is fire-resistant according to UL94 V0 and reduces the housing weight by approximately 50% compared to metal. In addition to the use of standard monoblocs, it is also possible to use the modular connectors of the Han-Modular®series by deploying the hinged frame. Pre-assembled metal hinged frames can be firmly screwed into the new hoods and housings.

“We have achieved the goal of designing the Han-Eco®B and Han® B Standard to be compatible,” said Product Manager Ingo Siebering. “The user benefits, since he can choose the material for component and equipment connections in a machine or plant with total flexibility.”

CNC Software, Inc. Hosts Local Girl Scout Troop CNC Software, Inc. hosted local Girl Scout troop #65023 for a tour of their corporate offices. Area Girl Scouts in 5th and 6th grades, were able to see where the world’s leading CAD/CAM software, Mastercam®, is created and learn how it is used by thousands of companies worldwide to manufacture products they see and use every day.

The night kicked off at 6:00 p.m. with a presentation from CNC Software President and CEO—and former Girl Scout— Meghan West. She introduced the girls to CNC Software and provided some company back-

ground. The company’s Corporate Trainer Keith Butzgy, also a Girl Scout father, introduced the troop to Mastercam, the Coordinate System, and the Manufacturing industry. He explained how manufactur-

ing and machine shops have changed and that they aren’t the dark and dirty shops from years ago. The troop learned how manufacturing is a profitable industry to work within and that it offers viable career

opportunities for girls.

The troop got to see a modern machine shop, the Mastercam Manufacturing Lab, in action. This is where CNC Software applications engineers test out Mastercam toolpaths each and every day.

The troop saw parts being cut and got to make fidget spinners, engraved with their own troop number.

The tour concluded with a team building activity and some pizza. When asked, most girls wanted to be veterinarians when they grew up, but one girl told everyone she wants to be an engineer!

Autodesk Announces ‘BUILDSMART’ Winner Autodesk had organised an online competition, BUILDSMART, to inspire sustainable designs in architecture and construction, which received extensive participation from architects, engineers and designers in India. The winning project fulfilled requirements of designing and conceptualizing a smart building using Autodesk Revit. Jaipur-based architect Arushi Bafna, the winner of the contest, proposed an efficient, cost-effective and functionally viable housing unit idea - an open space design plan which will use locally available material, and will be ideal for any Koliwada in Mumbai. The jury for the contest included Gita Balakrishnan, founder and

owner of Ethos India, Bimal Patwari, CEO of Pinnacle Infotech and Sunil M K, Head of Architecture, Engineering and Construction, Autodesk, India and SAARC. Arushi Bafna, who is a young achiever in the field of architecture, interior design and furniture design, believes that architecture is an applied art, driven by the theory of materials. She said, “Through BUILDSMART Autodesk

provided a platform to conceptualize and design a smart building – smart not only in terms of different looking but in its functionality as well.

Hence, I created a house for a Koliwada in Mumbai, by using Autodesk Revit, which makes the design functionally effective. The house I developed meets the demands of the Koliwada community and is reflective of all the criteria required to build a smart and cost-effective building.”

Sunil M K said, “BUILDSMART is a perfect example of how creative thinking, coupled with Autodesk’s cutting-edge design and visualization technologies, can help architects and planners create sustainable design

solutions. We are excited to witness the response to this initiative, which further goes on to prove that the new generation of professionals have the creativity and capability to use modern technologies like Revit, and create unique, efficient designs.” BUILDSMART received online designs submissions from several architects, engineers and designers across India for two design topics: (1) a green, smart and sustainable architectural design and (2) 3D digital model of building for a smart city. Participants used Autodesk Revit, a BIM (building information modeling) tool to conceptualize, develop, collaborate and design their projects.

Igus Introduces P4.1 Roller Chain for Crane and Gantry Use In order to increase the uptime of crane systems and gantries, Igus has now combined its core competencies in the areas of plain bearing technology and energy chains. In the P4.1 roller chain for long travels, newly developed tribologically optimised plain bearings ensure lubrication-free mounting of the individual chain links. This significantly prolongs the service life of the energy chain. Optionally, the P4.1 e-chain can be part of the Igus predictive maintenance concept with a new i-sense wear sensor.

The P4 system has been the solution for demanding applications for many years. The P4 roller chain series has already proven itself in over 1,000 crane and gantry applications world-

wide, with travel distances of up to 800 metres, high speeds of more than five metres per second, and several million cycles with low vibration and low noise. Using rollers integrated in

the chain link, the friction is reduced to a minimum and the service life prolonged to the maximum. Due to the offset between upper run and lower run, the plastic rollers are not rolled over, but roll past each other to allow very smooth running. As a result, the coefficient of friction decreases and the drive power is reduced by 57%. Users like the world’s largest crane manufacturer ZPMC have been relying on the reliable profile roller chain for many years. With the new lubrication-free and maintenance-free plain bearings made of high-performance plastics, Igus has now developed the e-chain even further.

Since 1964, Igus has been developing and producing high-performance plastics for lubrication-free plain bearings

and tough e-chains. Through the experience in both areas and the research of new plastic compounds, Igus developers were able to further optimize the P4.1 roller chain in order to significantly increase reliability and availability.

There is a bearing point for pivoting in every connection of the chain links.

This has now been re-equipped with a maintenance-free tribo-polymer plain bearing, which more than doubles the service life. In this way, container cranes in ports, for example, can now achieve a service life of more than 15

years or 20,000 plus operating hours, with low maintenance and high reliability.

Optionally, the new P4.1 can be equipped with smart monitoring sensors, such as a wear sensor for the newly installed plain bearings. From a defined wear limit, this can issue a signal to the Igus i-com communication module and maintenance can be planned in advance. Depending on the customer’s requirements, the data of the i-com module can be used differently: with a direct integration into

the existing software environment and intranet solution for a pure maintenance message or with the connection to the Igus data centre for an intelligent and dynamic service life prediction. In this case, the maintenance recommendations via machine learning and AI algorithms are constantly compared and defined with the data from many existing applications. Thanks to the intelligent networking of the P4.1 roller chain, the maintenance engineer can access the service life data of the energy chain at any time at any location.

robust, internationally & domestically. As global economic situation strengthens, investment levels are set to rise across geographies. Further supported by the shutdowns & curtailments in China on back of environmental norms, these should provide support to the Steel demand in the long run. Trade related barriers could lead to some weakening of the overall sentiment though lack of enough capacity as compared to existing demand in developed economies could make it largely unsustainable

and uneconomical in the long run.

With the steel intensity increasing within the country, coupled with government’s push towards more steel structures, buildings and infrastructure, the demand in the country is all set to rise further, albeit gradually.

Power: Power Demand and exchange rates are observed to be touching fresh highs in the current Financial Year. With the Govt. of India stated policy of providing ‘Power for All on a 24x7 basis’,

the demand is expected to increase substantially. This is likely to result in a fresh upsurge in long Term PPAs

by Utilities who will be obliged to fulfil this commitment of the Government on a sustained basis. In the near term too, demand for power is expected to get a boost on account of forthcoming State and Central elections over the coming two years.

However, coal continues to remain a major challenge,

both in terms of availability and the consequential impact on prices, which are observed to be rising over the past 6 months. We expect this key challenge to be mitigated significantly with the introduction of Commercial Mining as proposed by Govt. of India, wherein coal mining shall once again be opened up for the private sector.

The Company is steadfast in its objective to generate higher volumes and profits each subsequent quarter, with increasing contribution from all its businesses.

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-

MAY 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 overall 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.”

industrial gear units. Recording of the performance data also enables optimal dimensioning of the system as well as continuous condition monitoring of the drives.

With this, NORD supplies intelligent drive technology for digitalised production in Industry 4.0. With the example of an industrial gear unit application, the company demonstrates possible predictive maintenance solutions especially for this group of products.

In addition to intelligent networking in drive technology, and particularly

in intralogistics, special economical solutions are also often required which for example can achieve savings through a reduced number of versions. With its

LogiDrive systems, NORD provides efficient and maintenance-friendly ‘plug and play’ technology. This consists of standardised versions with IE4 geared motors

at rated powers of up to 5.5 kW, a two-stage helical bevel gear unit and a frequency inverter - a combination that ensures optimisation of processes and costs. A further important element in modern production is the functional safety of plant and machinery. With the SK TU4-PNS PROFIsafe interface module, NORD provides even greater safety.

Tailwind for ACHEMA 2018 from upbeat industry mood ACHEMA 2018 is entering the home stretch: On 11 June 2018, the doors of the exhibition and presentation halls will open. Around 3,800 exhibitors and 167,000 participants from more than 100 countries will turn Frankfurt once again into the global center of the process industries. ACHEMA receives a positive momentum from the optimistic near-term outlook of its core industries despite all imponderabilia. The organizers expect that ACHEMA will benefit from these effects and might even slightly surpass the numbers of former events.

mation optimistic for 2018” – “Further strong growth of the chemical industry in 2018” – The last weeks have been characterized by positive news from the ACHEMA industries. Thus the organizers are going into the last preparations with optimism. “We are usually reluctant about forecasts”, said Dr. Thomas Scheuring, CEO of DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH. “However, we see significant growth in some exhibition fields such as automation, pharmaceutical, packaging and storage technologies, but also in the mechanical processes group, and this certainly gives reason to positive expectations.”

At the ACHEMA Press Preview mid-March it became ap-

parent that all industries and exhibition groups are preoccupied with the “megatrend” digitalization, whether it’s laboratory equipment, plant engineering or packaging and logistics. Exhibitors have many innovations up their sleeve that are based on digital methods: Thanks to digital interfaces, pumps can be integrated via “plug and play” into a plant and monitor themselves.

Control and operation centers are designed to redefine the collaboration between humans and machines. Especially the focal topics “Flexible production” and “Chemicals and pharma logistics” benefit from this trend as modular plants or integrated supply chains are inconceivable without data

In addition, “conventional” topics such as components for increased process efficiency or new materials are also on the agenda of companies offering products and technologies for the chemical, pharma and food industry.

application ranges are both positioning drives e.g. ball spindles with high incline and indexing tables or planetary and work gears with small gear ratios.

RADEX NC: RADEX NC is developed for Servo Technology. Stainless Steel Laminas make it torsionally stiff and at the same time flexible. Aluminum hubs ensure a low mass moment of inertia even with double cardanic design. RADEX NC can be used in high temperatures up to 200°C and under aggressive ambient conditions.

A typical application of RADEX NC is backlash free worm gear pairs with low

USP : Accuracy Meets Speed: Rotex GS, Toolflex, Radex NC & Countex Couplings suffer. This is why it is said to be the standard solution for ball screws with inclines S < 40. Clamping Ring Hubs are suable for circumferential speeds up to 50 m/s.

Rotex GS P was developed by KTR in cooperation with VDMA (Association of German Manufacturers of Machines and Plants) to be used on stub spindles of multiple spindle heads. Integrated clamping system of back lash free, highly precise shaft coupling is made of 100% steel.

With circumference speed of 75 m/s and higher, it is ideally suited for applications on HSC main spindle drives. ROTEX GS P is manufactured to DIN 69002.

TOOLFLEX: The backlash-free metal bellows-type coupling TOOLFLEX with a non-positive connection of bellow and a hub and a frictionally engaged clamping hub is suitable for temperatures up to 280°C. For higher inclines S ≥ 40 TOOLFLEX coupling is recommended. TOOLFLEX remains fatigue endurable in high temperature up to 200°C. It’s main

transmissions ( for i < 8). Clamping Hubs are frictionally engaged and are thus backlash free even in a reversing drive.

COUNTEX: COUNTEX is a three part, back lash free and torsionally stiff coupling mainly used in measuring and control technology.

It’s axial plug-in ability combined with geometry of hubs results in a coupling system with a specifically easy assembly, offering options of mounting fitting with processing. Material of spacer is resistant to high temperatures ensuring continuous properties of coupling system temperatures up to 160°C. The measuring and control technology demands for a high torsion spring stiffness in order to realize reproducible positioning. The double –cardanic principle of COUNTEX reduces the restoring forces.

hat does it take a metallurgist to become an entrepreneur? Besides a good academic background and industry exposure, you also need self-confidence and courage to leave a cushy job and enter business. That’s precisely what Bindagi did.

A scholastic career P.T. Bindagi, the Technical Director of Spraymet Surface Technologies P. Ltd., headquartered in Bengaluru. Bindagi took his degree in metallurgical engi-

neering from the Bellary Govt. College.

He was state first. After this scholastic career, he took up a job with Precision Fasteners as a metallurgist in their R&D lab. After a short tenure of two years, He joined Ador (erstwhile Advani-Oerlikon) in 1984 and took the onus of product marketing in the newly set up Powder Division. At Ador, he stayed for long 10 years. He had his career progression and soon became the Divisional Manager of Metco Thermal Hard facing Div. In 1987.

Bindagi received special training in tribology at Metco, Australia as well as Sulzer Metco, USA. Back home he presented several papers on the nuances of ‘thermal spraying’ in conferences organised by IIW, BARC, VSSC and other organisations.

The turning point The year 1994 was a turning point for Bindagi. That was the year when he bid adieu to service and decided to be on his own, doing the same thing closer to his heart : propagating the art and science of tribology, harnessing the proven technologies of thermal spray, plasma spray and HVOF. Subsequently, It took hardly a few months for him to give shape to his passion: establishing his own company in the name and style of Spraymet Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Today Spraymet is en-

gaged in thermal spray, ENP plating and weld surfacing. While the main plant is in Bangalore, Bindagi set up the second plant in Pune to stay closer to its customers especially from the automobile sector which is demanding technical excellence, proximity and service all at the same time. Spraymet has the distinction of having pioneered the carbide coatings in the steel mills and galvanizing line roll coating.

Proprietary coatings The company owns a few proprietary coatings like moly blend (Spraymet MoB) for metal to metal wear and Ductile matrix carbide (Spraymet DMC) for plastic processing feed screws. Bindagi is keenly interested and is working towards expanding applications in turbine industry, medical implants and other new frontiers. In his quest, to spread knowledge, Bindagi also picks up students from universities for project work related to tribology and wear metallurgy.

“Today when I look back, I have the satisfaction of having chosen a business line which is not only winning bread for me but also butter for the industry at large,” states Bindagi. There is substance in what he says. He has helped the industry save a lot of money and helped conserve its scarce resources.

May his tribe increase!

Green Manufacturing Practices at ELGi Optimizing energy usage in manufacturing, increasing the usage of renewable and alternate energy sources, and implementing a continuous energy savings improvement plan is the right approach for a greener tomorrow: Anvar Jay Varadaraj

I

n the manufacturing sector, implementation of green manufacturing practices is much more than compliance. It also brings about lasting benefits in terms of sustainability, profitability, and effectiveness in the businesses. Demanding the right seriousness, open-mindedness and leadership towards green manufacturing drives are among the top priorities among manufacturers worldwide, as every team works to consume less and producing more.

It is the responsibility of manufacturers to reduce carbon emissions in all their processes, avoid wastage of any kind, and build a green enterprise that does more and more with less inputs, based on continuous learning and corrective actions. Such persistent focus has yielded positive results, including financial benefits, for many global manufacturers.

Elgi has constantly endeavoured to do more with less, and its sustained efforts have resulted in reduction of its manufacturing carbon footprint from 1,600 kg of CO2 per million of sale (INR) to 1,200 kg of CO2 per million of sale (INR) from 2014 to 2018. At ELGi, windmills generate 15 percent of the total energy in the plant that adds up to 20 lakh units of electricity every year. The windmills are maintained by an in-house team with utmost care.

Every resource counts, and cannot be wasted. Each concerted effort to save resources such as water, wood, fuel or electricity from being wasted has a profound impact on the overall business efficiency of the organization, and makes it greener. ELGi recycles its waste in every form, into something of value that

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

enriches other industries and communities. ELGi recycles its foundry wastes and by converting it to 40,000 solid construction bricks per year. About 2,000 litres of hydraulic oil used in ELGi’s CNC machines and about 1,000 kg of paint powder are recycled. 60,000 Litres of recycled water from ELGi’s manufacturing processes are used to water the gardens. The company also recycles its used batteries and puts them into use in school laboratories in the region. The company plants trees in its campuses, implemented paperless offices and has also put in place a comprehensive energy management system. Natural light illuminates most of its campuses, cutting power consumption further.

Globally, 70 percent of all fossil fuels are used in industrial operations alone.

This mindboggling number would make it obvious that it is critical for all industries to focus on using the maximum number of renewable energy sources and materials in their manufacturing processes. It is not just enough to go green during the manufacturing processes. The philosophy should extend well into the design and manufacture of highly energy efficient products.

Therefore, it is crucial to roll out highly energy efficient products from the factories that consume lesser energy during their entire lifecycle. ELGi has obtained ISO 14024:1999 green label product certification for its EG and EN series of compressors that are green in both their manufacturing, as well as performance.

Measuring each and every energy and material input is important for a green enterprise. Implementing effective energy management systems will help bring visibility to every unit of power

Anvar Jay Varadaraj, Head – Marketing & Communications, ELGi Equipments Limited

consumed, and help optimise it. Every appliance, be it motors, fans, lights, transformers or office air conditioners, should be monitored, and optimized to continuously reduce energy consumption. All of ELGi’s manufacturing processes are ISO 50001:2011 certified for its stringent energy management systems. ELGi has reduced its power to sale ratio from 1.15 percent to as little as 0.97 percent last year. The facilities have also begun to implement agile Internet of Things (IoT) projects to cut energy costs further. ELGi has set energy baseline and energy performance indicators at every level of its manufacturing processes. Plans are now on way to set up rooftop solar energy panels that produce up to 100 kW of power.

Optimizing energy usage in manufacturing, increasing the usage of renewables and alternate energy sources, and implementing a continuous energy savings improvement plan is the right approach for a greener tomorrow. At ELGi, the leadership has constantly pushed for better, greener practices in all that the company does.

68 INDUSTRY SPEAK

Our vision is to be a globally renowned and reliable service provider in flow technology: Dr. Jacob Chandapillai Q. What’s the significance of Flow Metering?

Dr. Jacob Chandapillai, Director, Fluid Control Research Institute, Palakkad

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

The accurate measurement of fluid dictates the bottom-line of many industries including power, process, oil & gas and water. The list is ever-growing Fluid flow rate standards could be significantly simplified if the fundamental bases of these measurements were as simple as those for mass, length and so on where the system of measurement is based upon discrete standards or artifacts. These artifacts can be considered “identity” standards. However, for the flow rate measurement of fluids i.e. liquids or gases, there does not exist an identity standard such as gallons / minute, m3/hr, gm / sec. To supply the fundamental basis upon which to establish a flow measurement system, a “derived” standard is required.

The major difference between measurement of other parameters and flow measurement (flow metering) is that in flow measurement you are trying to measure the fluid when it is in motion. The versatility of fluids, the complexity of its motion, probability of multiphase flow and a plethora of other parameters and properties can affect the performance of measurement.

For flow measurements such as control applications, a repeatable signal may be more important than an accurate signal. On the other hand, if money is going to change hands, accurate flow measurement is required so that the parties to the transaction are treated fairly. It is important in custody transfer metering to be constantly aware that flow measurement is money, and the perspective on the measurement changes accordingly.

For example, petroleum products bought and sold on the world wide market may be transported over thousands of miles and change ownership many times from the well head to the end user. Each time the product changes ownership, a “custody transfer” is completed and both buyer and seller expect their asset share to be accurately measured. The dynamic measurement provided by meters is a convenient and accurate means to measure valuable petroleum products.

Selecting the right meter for the right job with a high level of confidence is imperative to ensure accurate measurement at the lowest cost of ownership.

Q. What’s your role in flow measurement and calibration?

The accuracy of fluid flow plays a very vital role in industry and in fact the single largest measurement parameter which is decisive in the quality and quantity of products . Hence having a measurement standard of International acceptance is of high priority. The very purpose of establishing FCRI by Govt. of India was to create a facility that would provide a standard for flow measurement in air, water and oil flow medium.

Government has invested more than Rs.75 crores to establish the flow standards of FCRI and has developed it to a world class fluid flow laboratory.

Practically, FCRI has been maintaining the fluid flow standard in Water, Air and Oil media for the country since last 25 years and is holding accreditation from National Accreditation Board for testing and calibration Laboratories (NABL) or equivalent throughout this period. FCRI is also regularly participat-

70 INDUSTRY SPEAK

ing in inter-laboratory comparisons with National Metrology Institutes of other countries like NEL, United Kingdom and NMI Netherlands and has proven its International credentials.

In a nutshell, FCRI provides services equivalent to International standards to Indian Industry and to some extent industries abroad.

Q. How has the industry benefited from your knowledge and applied research?

Flow Measurement is more than buying a meter.

For purposes of looking at the problem, three concerns should be studied: the fluids, the flow, and the meter.

Fluid flow problems are to be studied thoroughly with an in-depth analysis using simulation and /experimental investigations and finally arrive at a solution . This needs an excellent domain knowledge and FCRI manpower is quite capable of doing it. Many of the industry problems are referred to us for study , analysis and solutions.

This could be from sectors like oil and gas / water distribution/process/ power/aeronautical/Atomic energy/defence, etc.

Apart from the above, FCRI facilities have been functioning more or less as the Indian flow measurement standard with International traceability.

This has helped the Indian Industry to maintain their flow measurement accuracy tantamount to International

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

requirements/standards. FCRI has also been instrumental in disseminating knowledge to industry about all the three concerns mentioned above.

Q. How do you disseminate and impart this wealth of domain knowledge?

The knowledge transfer is mainly through training programs. FCRI conducts National Training programs for Industry Managers. This could be either pre-designed short term courses announced well in advance or customized training programs as per the requirements. It is observed that some of the FCRI programs are extremely popular amongst the industry.

FCRI also conducts International Training programs for trainees from abroad. These could be customized courses / training programs through Ministry of External Affairs , GOI. More than 1000 International trainees from about 90 different countries have attended our training programs.

Apart from the regular training programs, FCRI organizes an International conference-cum-exhibition under the brand name flotek.g once in threefour years , which provides a common forum for users, manufacturers , researchers ,academicians, etc. to discuss , disseminate and advertise.

Q. How would you summarize your major strengths and resources?

Our vision is to be a globally renowned

and reliable service provider in flow technology.

The impeccable, internationally accepted, reliable infrastructure and well experienced manpower available at FCRI in the fluid flow domain is the major strength of our organization.

From the infant state when there was virtually no knowledge available in the domain, FCRI in the last three decades has grown to a stature where Indian industry looks at FCRI as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;one stop solutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for all the flow measurement problems.

The capability of FCRI to analyze the flow measurement problems with the available infrastructure and to create necessary infrastructure at affordable price for Indian Industry is another strong point.

FCRIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international exposure through Inter-comparisons and training programs is expected to create innumerable opportunities for growth.

Q. What are the challenges ahead for you?

Acquiring and maintaining manpower with in-depth domain knowledge is a major challenge I foresee. The other challenges are: Improving FCRI facilities to keep pace with Industrial requirements, and Expansion of FCRI facilities and services In India and abroad.

In the right mould: Sridevi Tool Engineers Mumbai-based Sridevi Tool Engineers specializes in design, development and manufacture of plastic injection moulds for automobile, white goods, luggage and other engineering industries. Established in 1972, the company is one of the largest commercial tool rooms in India with a capacity to produce moulds up to 3000 T of locking pressure. The company, equipped with the best of production machines sourced from Europe and Japan, has an uncanny eye for quality and precision. With an enviable customer base built up over a span of four and a half decades, the company is thriving on import substitution, developing some of the most complex moulds which otherwise have to be sourced from Korea, China or Japan after a long wait and spending a colossal amount of foreign exchange. Mr. P.K. Balasubbramaniian speaks to Mr. Surendra Kalyanpur, Managing Director, Sridevi Tool to ascertain the capabilities and commitments of this technology driven company which is on a growth trajectory to make the most of the boom experienced in the automobile industry. Excerpts: I started my company, Sridevi Tools, in 1972. That was the time when no tool rooms were available in the country. Die & Mould making was a highly skilled job. CNC machines were not available then. We started our operations with a small drilling machine, a lathe and 5-6 people. We first made PVC fitting moulds and then moulds for making TVs and refrigerators. 1986 was a turning point in our business. That was the year when we first bought a 3-axis milling machine, Deckel from Germany.

Since then there has been no looking back. We operated from Saki Naka for about 17 years. In 1986 we came to Vasai.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All our activities are oriented towards delighting our customerâ&#x20AC;?, says Surendra C. Kalyanpur, Managing Director, Sridevi Tool Engineers Private Ltd.

Q. Sridevi Tools was started in 1972. How do you recount the beginnings of the company?

I am a self-made entrepreneur. After my Intermediate Science, I picked up a job.

I started my career with Lawkim Motors in Thane where I worked for long 10 years. Then I moved to Bharat Bijlee, also in Thane, wherein I had a stint of about 4 years. In both the places I was in the Machine Shop. The rich practical experience I gained helped me in my career. So my foray into the die & mould business, I would say, was by choice.

our overall capacities in certain areas.

We are enhancing capacity at our Savli plant on the large-sized bearing and also increasing the localization rate there.

The bearings from Savli go into wind applications, and into raw materials space like steel mills, cement plants, mining and others.

Q. How does the synergy of the combination of FAG, INA and LUK benefit Schaeffler India’s growth?

India is a high-growth market and a key focus area for Schaeffler. Keeping that in mind, we have recently announced merger of Schaeffler’s three product brands under a single ‘Schaeffler India’ identity. The key objective of this merger is to combine the strengths and competencies of all three Schaeffler entities in India and establish one strong listed Schaeffler entity in India in line with Schaeffler Group’s strategy ‘Mobility for Tomorrow’. Over the past couple of years, we have successfully grown from a components manufacturer into a complete components and integrated systems supplier by leveraging the collective strengths across our range of products and our strong product brands LuK, INA and FAG. We are a leading supplier of a wide range of ball and roller bearings, needle roller bearings, engine, transmission and chassis components and a wide range of clutches. Combining our diverse product presence, we are well-positioned across the high growth automotive and

industrial segments that enable us to offer complete systems and solutions for our customers.

Q. What kind of research and development is the company engaged in as regards bearings?

We are integrated with our global technology centres. In Maneja we have the Schaeffler Technology Centre which primarily assesses all our industrial customers with bearing applications. Product development, selection, application in the right environment, consultancy and solutions are provided here. On the automotive side, Pune is the main centre of development, while in Hosur it is clutch and transmissions. In a year we hope to merge the three R&D centres into one entity. They work very closely with our HQ and other development centres around the world, depending upon the area of competence and exper-

tise. In India we are primarily focusing on two areas that we are developing as the centre of expertise for global applications – two-wheelers up to 250 cc motorcycles and agricultural vehicles like tractors and other equipment.

For us, the most important thing is to be close to the customer, where the customer’s needs are. This year, in India, about 20 million two-wheelers will be produced. We also have strong, local OEMs who design and develop their own two-wheelers here. Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki are all building up capabilities in India; not just manufacturing but product development capability – we work very closely with them. Coming to tractors, India is the largest tractor manufacturer in the world with 7,00,000 tractors produced with strong local OEMs like Mahindra, Swaraj, TAFE, etc.

They all design and produce their own tractors. We work closely with them as also the international companies like CNH, JCB and others.

The users, operating globally, expect to be able to source their accustomed products and systems everywhere in the world. We are closely working with IBM at their R&D centres on IoT, Industry 4.0 and big data digitalization. IBM’s cognitive technologies will support Schaeffler’s Industry 4.0 strategy for tooling machines helping to improve overall equipment efficiency (OEE).

This includes the optimization of production processes, real time analysis of data and context-driven maintenance, networking and optimization of multiple machines within a production line. The objective is to continuously optimize production and supply chain.

The focus is on internal optimization to increase efficiency and to leverage this for the creation of new service offerings for customers and partners. We are also working with our HQ on evolving digitalization needs for e-mobility applicable to the automotive industry.

Q. What are the company’s ex-

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

pansion and investment plans for 2018?

In the last three years, Schaeffler has invested about Rs 145 crore each year in India. Over the next 3-5 years we will continue to invest in expanding our plant capacities, our product portfolio and engineering capabilities in the country. We are going to invest in our distribution network and all the logistics areas which will provide us substantial benefits in the long run.

We have also announced expansion of our operations at INA Bearings in Talegaon. The expansion will include a new manufacturing facility and a new R&D facility within the existing premises. We are investing Rs 200 crore for this expansion. The new production facility will be operational by the end of 2018 and will manufacture engine and transmission components, serving the domestic and exports markets. The R&D facility that will be operational by mid2018 will focus on enhancing product development and engineering capabilities driving innovation for customers.

The Pune plant, currently running at full capacity, employs 700 people and with the new facility it is expected to generate additional employment in the future as our operations grow. We particularly see big opportunities in the country in areas of two-wheelers, agricultural tractors, wind energy, railways,

steel and other infrastructure-related sectors. Going forward, we are doubling our investment into the India market from 2018.

Q. How does the company tackle the challenge of a huge counterfeit and grey market in bearings?

In 2004, Schaeffler set up a central department for fighting product and brand piracy. The Schaeffler Group employs a zero tolerance policy towards all cases of product and brand piracy with its primary aim being to protect its customers’ interests. To protect buyers and end clients procuring INA and FAG products from distributors, Schaeffler has assessed and certified sales partners worldwide. All authorised distributors are listed on the Schaeffler website and can be checked by entering the certificate number. Promoting counterfeit and non-conforming parts causes serious damage, reduces vehicle life and increases the likelihood of fatal road accidents.

Q. Does Schaeffler India export bearings? If so, could you provide details and numbers?

Of our total business from India, exports contribute almost 16% to our sales.

Wheel modules and transmission bearings from our Maneja and Savli plants are exported to Europe, US and Asia.

We also export engine, transmission and chassis components, including needle roller bearings from our Talegaon plant in Pune.

Green Manufacturing Practices at Solitaire Machine Tools 1. In our opinion, Green Manufacturing is a many faceted subject. Each organization would be able to contribute to this aspect in different ways.

2. We feel that Generating powe , savings of water, savings of oil and lubricants, avoidance of loss of compressed air, etc. are a step in the right direction.

Ashok Sheth, Chairman, Solitaire Machine Tools Ltd.

3. We have set up Solar Power at both the plants and we are generating about 50% of Power consumed by us from Solar Power. This means substantial savings on state- run electricity boards supply.

4. We have done Rain water harvesting in our second plant. This has improved water available to us through bore as well as brought water table higher than previously available to us as well as adjoining companies. The area was built over an old Chemical unit and now with joint effort of various units, the rain water harvesting has improved quality of water. This again reduces

strain on Municipal water supply.

5. The oil used in manufacturing as well as for use in machines manufactured by us was being wasted to large extent.

Checks have been put in place and we have reduced consumption.

6. As we all have learned, the most expensive commodity is compressed air. Most of the wastage is by leaking air lines around the plant. With better quality of fittings and pipelines, the wastage has been brought down. The compressor operating time is down and gives reduction of use of electricity as well as other oil and maintenance.

7. We also plant a large number of trees around our plants and ensure that the atmosphere in the plants is much cooler than ambient temperature.

Each of the above measures makes the world a little better. This is not all. We could much more and we all have to keep on looking for ways and means to improve the world we live in.

5-axis measuring technology enables measurement without compromise

M

easurement is an essential part of manufacturing, used to control processes and verify products. However, measurement time is often viewed as non-productive, causing unwanted bottlenecks and putting pressure on manufacturers’ operating margins.

Renishaw’s 5-axis measurement product range for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) claims to be one of the biggest step-changes in measurement capability ever introduced in industrial metrology and goes a long way to overcoming these challenges.

The need to retain accuracy has historically compromised the ultimate speed of the measuring process due to the characteristics of a CMM’s structure. The non linear motion of a Cartesian CMM induces accelerations and decelerations that twist and deflect the machine structure, and result in measurement errors that increase with speed and acceleration.

CMM manufacturers work relentlessly on software and machine improvements to overcome those limitations, but ultimately the physical nature of the CMM structure constrains further improvement.

REVO® 5-axis systems approach this challenge from an entirely different perspective, minimising CMM accelerations whilst moving the stylus very rapidly over the component surface through the simultaneous control of the three machine and two probe head axes (X, Y, Z and A, B).

Additionally, the REVO® system offers five different probe families, each specifically designed to maximise the advantages of 5-axis motion and infinite positioning. The probes are automatically interchangeable and include tactile scanning, touch-trigger, surface finish and non-contact vision probes. All are used within a common co-ordinate reference frame and provide the choice of an optimum tool to measure multiple features all on a single CMM platform.

Automotive is one sector benefitting from this technology with manufactur-

ers finding unparalleled advantages in the expanded SFP2 surface finish measurement product range, offering operator independent data collection and the opportunity to eliminate dedicated surface finish equipment. By integrating automated roughness measurement and drastically reducing the number of probe styli required to measure complex parts, REVO® systems have a direct impact on powertrain manufacturing effectiveness.

Renishaw has always been an innovation leader in industrial metrology. The company’s first product, the touch-trigger probe, led to a revolution in three-dimensional co-ordinate measurement. Ever since, a strong commitment to research and development has brought to market products that have been milestones in industrial metrology.

The REVO® 5-axis measurement system is leading a new revolution in quality control, enabling manufacturers to stay competitive, push the boundaries of their production processes and improve the cost effectiveness of their manufacturing.

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

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.

Innovations in centerless grinding machine & its operations

Mr. Harsh Badani, Technical Director, Solitaire Machine Tools Ltd.

C

enterless Grinding operation is a mass production process in which cylindrical components are ground without reference to center.

This operation is used as the final process in majority of the components where the tolerances and the quality parameter are stringent.

The grinding process is basically designed for mass production. As the cost of manufacturing is increasing, the users are trying to extract more & more production from a grinder in order to lower the cost per piece. The user feedback and experiences highlighted the problems faced during day to day work, and solutions need to be implemented for future expansion projects and existing machinery.

dressing time. Hence, a method needs to be devised so that the dressing time also can be used productively.

• As the working cost is increasing, more automation is required so that an operator can run more than one machine.

• With cost of power increasing all around the world, more energy efficient motors should be explored.

• The fuel prices are increasing at a phenomenal rate and it is essential to produce fuel efficient vehicles. This calls for components with higher quality standards and a need to explore different materials to reduce vehicle weight. Consequently, machines with capability to grind these components efficiently need to be devised.

To resolve the above issues, our engineers did brain storming and devised various options: • To reduce the floor space there should not be any compromise in terms of the rigidity and stock removal capabilities of the grinder. We designed a grinder similar in size to our smallest model.

At the same time, we increased its rigidity by adding weight to make it equivalent to our bigger sized model.

The center of gravity was kept constant at the working area so that the vibrations would always be at that point.

The vibration analysis was conducted

to ensure that it was maintained at a very low level.

• Total Usage Time = Productive Time + Non-Productive Time (Dressing Time) The challenge for us was to convert the non-productive time into productive time. To achieve the same, we designed a diamond roll dresser for the machine. The CNC controls were programmed in a manner that when the dressing is done on the wheel, grinding of the component is also in process. Therefore, the total usage time is now equal to the productive time. This enables the customer to grind more components. The savings was substantial in terms of productivity.

• Working Cost = Running Cost (Power + Employees + Overheads) + Consumables (Hydraulic Oil + Coolant + Grinding wheel + Regulating Wheel + Diamond Dresser) To reduce the working cost of a machine, it is important to reduce all the above costs to an optimum level.

• Power Cost: The maximum power consuming motor is the grinding wheel motor. We procure the motor such that during idling time of grinder in each cycle it would draw very low current, while providing full torque during the grinding process. Such motors have rating of Eff 1 or better.

Below are some suggestions, to improve the quality level and productivity, while bringing down costs in Centerless grinding: • Land costs are at an all-time high, which necessitates the reduction of machine foot print and floor space dedicated to a single machine.

• In any centerless grinding operation, the major non-productive time is the

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

Diamond Roll Dresser

114 TECH TRENDS

The other options include soft start for grinding wheel motor or Variable Frequency Drive for regulating and grinding wheel motor. These options avoid peak current required for startup of the motor.

• Employees Cost: Machine automation is designed in such a way that the operator can run more than one machine at a time. In mass production plants, the focus is to have one skilled person to look after the setting and inspection of finished components for all grinders. Loading, unloading and other routine operations are done by unskilled employees. CNC options also reduce the operator intervention to a large extent and thereby reduce the cost.

At the time when customer sends the plant layout, we give suggestions and inputs to reduce material handling and make it ergonomically convenient in order to reduce operator fatigue.

Variable Frequency Drive is installed to achieve Constant Surface Speed for Grinding Wheel. This helps in reducing the dressing frequency even when the wheel diameter is reduced.

Hence, the grinding wheel is used to its optimum level.

• The other consumables like oil, coolant, diamonds and wheels are selected with the help of various manufacturers’ input and expertise, to suit each application.

• The increase in fuel prices and depreciation of Indian currency has put a lot of burden on manufacturers to improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles.

This calls for more close tolerance in manufacturing parts. Quality Parameters are a combination of Size Tolerance, Roundness, Cylindricity and Surface Finish. We use Precision Linear Guideways to achieve practically friction free movement. This enables the slide to move with high accuracy, as close as 0.25 microns and helps in maintaining size in close tolerance.

To achieve roundness in 1 to less than

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

Linear Guideway

1 micron, it is necessary to have rigid spindles and vibration free grinding.

We mount Automatic Wheel balancers, which balance wheel with vibration level less than 1 micron. This also helps improve Cylindricity.

Coolant supply while dressing the wheel has to be forced at the point of contact of diamond and wheel.

Proper forced coolant supply helps to dress well, which in turn helps in improving surface finish on component. Coolant supply during grinding is conventionally done by free flow of coolant on the part. Due to air turbulence because of wheel rotation, most of the coolant does not reach the actual grinding area. With redesigned nozzles and flapper to stop air turbulence, the coolant now reaches grinding hot spot to almost 90% level.

The overheating of parts and burning marks are reduced and surface finish improved.

The above are some of the innovations & adaptations incorporated in the machine to meet the demand of the industry for

Automotive OEMs: Getting Smarter!

New research from Capgemini shows the automotive industry could gain USD 160 billion through smart factory adoption by 2023 onwards

C

apgemini recently announced a new report by its Digital Transformation Institute, which reveals that the automotive industry can expect to achieve USD 160 billion in productivity gains annually from smart factory adoption from 2023 onwards.

The report, Automotive Smart Factories: How Auto Manufacturers can Benefit from the Digital Industrial Revolution, demonstrates that the automotive sector has set more aggressive targets for smart factory initiatives compared to other sectors. A global top ten automotive manufacturer can expect to realise an additional USD 4.6 billion or 50% growth in operational profits annually within five years of a full smart factory implementation.

The report predicts that the average productivity growth of smart factories within the automotive sector will be 7% as of 2023, while an automaker will break even within a year of executing the full potential of its smart factories.

By the end of 2022, automotive manufacturers expect that 24% of their plants will be smart factories. Nearly half of automotive companies (46%) already have a smart factory initiative, behind only industrial manufacturing (67%) and aerospace (63%), while at further 43% of automotive companies, smart factory initiatives are currently being

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

formulated. According to the report, the automotive sector has the highest share (49%) of organisations who have invested more than USD 250 million in smart factories.

However, 42% of automotive manufacturers accept they are not on track to realise the full potential of smart factories and are struggling with the technology move.

This is the highest across all the manufacturing sectors studied. The report identified that those making the best progress are investing three times more than the companies which are struggling. The more advanced manufacturers are also investing in software such as advanced analytics and AI-based components, whereas those struggling focus too heavily on hardware-based components, putting them on the back foot.

Smart Factories being adopted aggressively While a large proportion (46%) of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) has been successful in their smart factory initiatives, less than a third of automotive suppliers (32%) claim to have been successful. The report highlights that OEMs are leading the way, but can do more to help suppliers adopt smart factories. For example, it highlights that OEMs can contribute through financial support and working closely with suppliers on innovation via startups and academies. When OEMs and suppliers work together to create smart factory processes, issues can be minimised early on in the production process.

Nick Gill, Chair of Automotive Council at Capgemini said: “Digital maturity holds the key to realising the full

potential of smart factory initiatives.

This study clearly demonstrates the enthusiasm among automotive organisations to invest in smart factories and the awareness of long-term benefits.

However, more can be done for automotive suppliers to take a collaborative approach with OEMs to optimize their smart factory initiatives.” He further added: “The next few years will be critical as OEMs step up their digital maturity, accelerating outcomes to maximise business benefits.”

Gregoire Ferre, Chief Digital Officer at Faurecia and a Capgemini client, said: “By using smart factory technology in our business we have seen great benefits with regard to our employees’ productivity. They use sophisticated tools such as smart robots to create a safer environment, which in turn provide them with more time to focus on other important tasks.” Capgemini surveyed 326 senior executives from the automotive sector over the period February 2017 to January 2018. These executives were drawn from director level or above, from a diverse set of functions, and were closely associated with their organisation’s smart factory initiatives. The survey covered executives from eight countries – China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Sweden, United Kingdom and the United States.

KBH10 – Mastering the challenges of hard turning KBH10 is an uncoated PcBN turning insert that offers exceptional wear resistance and very low cutting forces. As a result, many customers are now enjoying double the tool life together with improved part quality

H

ard turning has been used for decades to streamline and in many cases eliminate cylindrical grinding operations. It’s fast, accurate, and thanks to tooling suppliers such as Kennametal, a broad assortment of predictable, cost-effective cutting tools is available to tame even the most difficult hardened steels, superalloys, and chilled irons. But as the aerospace, automotive, power generation, and other industries continue to develop even more robust metals, cutting tool manufacturers must evolve as well with high-performance tooling to tackle these materials.

parts.”

In one example, a well-known automotive manufacturer was able to more than double tool life from 150 pieces per edge to 350 pieces during an internal facing operation on a 140 mm (5.5 in.) diameter 5115 alloy steel bearing hub that was previously heat-treated to 62 HRC. And a driveshaft producer achieved similar results, increasing tool life from 250 to 450 pieces per edge when turning 58 HRC UC1 (similar to S53) steel on its vertical turret lathes, consistently maintaining a 6 Rz surface finish while doing so.

Making the Hard Case Best of Breed That’s exactly what Kennametal Inc. has accomplished recently with its introduction of KBH10, a new breed of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) hard turning insert designed specifically for the challenges of today’s demanding market place. Helmut Gremer, senior engineer for global machining technology, says the new insert complements Kennametal’s existing PcBN grades KBH20 and KB5630 by providing the extreme wear resistance needed to successfully turn hardened metals up to 65Rc, especially where very fine surface finishes are required.

“We’ve seen that many manufacturers are decreasing the allowable tolerances on bearing journals, rings and pistons, gear hubs, and so on,” he says. “For example, dimensional tolerances of < 4 μm or less are increasingly common, as are surface requirements better than Ra < 0,4 μm. This new grade closes the gap for these and other customers that need superior tool life when finishing such

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

In each instance, cutting speeds of 180 m/min were used (590 sfm), with depths of cut averaging 0.15 mm (0.006 in.) and feedrates ranging from 0.22 to 0.32 mm per rev (0.0087 to 0.013 ipr). Also in each case, the customer saved thousands of dollars annually in insert costs compared to its existing solution, while substantially reducing downtime due to tool changeovers.

The KBH10 substrate is completely new. Its PcBN composition is designed for up to 20-percent higher cutting speeds while providing equivalent or in some cases far greater tool life.

Kennametal engineers were frequently able to achieve Ra 0.2 and Rz 1surface roughness, while consistently maintaining the profile and dimensional tolerances noted earlier. And because KBH10 is available in several different geometries and edge preparations, it’s quickly becoming the go-to insert for a wide cross section of manufacturers and their turning applications.

Kennametal’s latest hard-turning solution, KBH10, has a unique shape edge preparation that resists crater and flank wear while reducing vibration, even in interrupted cuts

A classic hard-turning application. A wide array of insert shapes, sizes and geometries is available MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

“KBH10 is ideally suited for fine-finishing operations yet is tough enough to handle light interruptions or varying depth of cut operations,” says Gremer. “And because cutting pressure and therefore heat is reduced, crater and flank wear are likewise reduced, extending tool life. There’s also a lower occurrence of the white layer that plagues many hard part machining operations.”

This last part is accomplished through KBH10’s unique edge preparation.

Rather than the traditional waterfall or radiused hone applied to virtually all PcBN cutting tools, Kennametal has developed a special shape that is both sharper and freer cutting than competing solutions yet still tough enough to withstand the rigors of hard turning.

“Five years ago, no one was able to generate edges like this, let alone measure them,” Gremer explains. “But thanks to some fairly recent advances in metrology and machine tool technology, we can consistently produce this hone shape, which reduces passive cutting forces by up to 40-percent. Together with KBH10’s tougher substrate also new we’ve produced an insert that achieves a fine balance between wear-resistance, hardness, and sharpness.

domestic market provides us with deep market knowledge. We now proudly mention ourselves as a ‘glocal’ company that brings together global expertise and local knowledge.

Q. Could you provide details of the various products made by the company and application areas?

At Numeric we have a wide range of products, starting from line interactive UPS and going up to the extremely technical and modern modular UPS.

We have the following ranges: • Line interactive UPS • Home UPS • Single-phase online UPS – Onfinity and HP Max • Three-phase online UPS – Keor T, Keor HP and Keor HPE • Modular UPS – Trimod and Archimod.

In terms of capacity range, we offer solutions from 600 VA to 4.8 MVA.

Q. Who are your major clients?

Our customers are across all market segments –data centres, IT and ITeS, BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare, education, government, infrastructure, SOHO, retail, hotels, etc. All major brands across these market segments are our customers and they are spread across India, Africa, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri Lanka.

Most of our customers partner with us due to our wide product offers and the huge sales and service infrastructure.

Q. How will the BIS certification benefit the company in terms of

134 INDUSTRY FOCUS

marketing and sales?

Numeric became the first UPS manufacturer in the country to comply with the mandatory Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) registration for 6 - 10 kVA range.

We were also one of the first UPS manufacturers to comply with the mandatory Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) registration for less than 5 kVA. According to the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) order issued on August 17, 2017, UPS ratings of less than 10 kVA were covered under the compulsory BIS registration scheme. Nobody would be allowed to sell and/or distribute UPS less than 10 kVA without having the BIS registration. We welcome this decision of MeitY. It will ensure that the quality level of the UPS industry goes up. Naturally, the biggest beneficiaries would be the UPS’ customers at large.

Numeric has always kept the quality of its products at an international level and hence we were able to get ourselves registered very quickly without having to make any product adaptations.

Q. What are the USPs of the products made by you as compared to those made by other companies?

What sets Numeric apart is a combination of two amazing advantages. Firstly, Numeric became a part of the Legrand Group in 2012, which gives us complete access to Legrand’s global expertise.

Secondly, we have a strong experience of the Indian market and are precisely aware of the customers’ requirements.

So, global expertise coupled with local experience and knowledge is a perfect combination that we have, which is extremely difficult to beat. As mentioned before, another amazing benefit of Numeric is the broad and strong product portfolio and exemplary service. We are perhaps the only company with a wide product portfolio ranging from 600 VA to 4.8 MVA, catering to diverse applications covering small projects to large data centres. We, at Numeric, are constantly engaged in maximising value for our customers in terms of technological advancement, customer friendliness as regards product usage, installation, commissioning and the right service back-up. We do not believe in only price competition. We are working hard to provide the best price versus value proposition to our customers.

Some examples of our uniqueness include: • Modular UPS with granular parallel architecture that helps the customer to have more redundancy on installed capacity. It also enables the customer to plan the capacity of the UPS as per today’s requirement and provides flexibility to increase the rating of UPS as per their business growth.

• Independent phase configuration and its flexibility that helps them to plan the load on each phase by using modules for specific phases.

• Independent phase management that helps customer to plan the type of load connected to each phase for its redundancy and management.

• KEOR T with its regenerative handling capability in mains mode is a

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

unique feature, which is suitable for both IT and industrial application.

The three-level IGBT inverter design helps to improve the inverter and overall efficiency so as to reduce operational expenses. High input power factor and low THDi reduces the cost of electrical infrastructure. Multi-DSP controller on the products helps the UPS to respond faster.

• Our recently launched KEOR series of three-phase UPS - Keor HP and Keor HPE, are a one-stop solution for IT, industrial, healthcare, office and commercial sector. Keor HP and Keor HPE are designed with advanced technologies and latest generation components. These intend to satisfy both users and installers by providing ease of maintenance and safety, capital preservation and reduction of

136 INDUSTRY FOCUS

operating expenses. Intended for use in large data centres and co-location facilities, the Keor HP and Keor HPE can offer solutions between 60 kVA to 4.8 MVA requirements.

• Our single-phase products such as HP Max and Onfiniti offer our customers built-in isolation transformer on a compact footprint. A UPS with isolation transformer increases the reliability of the product and its performance in the India market.

• Energy efficiency is one of the key drivers for Numeric. Our products are the most energy-efficient in the Indian market. In fact, some of our products have energy efficiency levels up to 96%.

Q.What are the company’s expansion plans for 2018?

At Numeric we plan to continuously design new products and engage with all stakeholders of the UPS market like specifiers, IT heads, system integrators, installers, facility managers, end-users, etc. Our growth is driven by innovation, design and user-friendliness in our products, which are the keystones of our brand philosophy. We truly believe that technology should be an enabler, offering ease of life for customers and they should not be overwhelmed by it. We believe in driving growth and market share through solving customer’s problems and thereby gaining customer confidence. Consequently, new product launches will be a continuous affair throughout the coming months and years. As a company, we have an aggressive growth vision. Our objective is to grow at twice the UPS market growth rate in the country.

Q. What about exports?

In the coming months, Numeric would focus on traditional export markets like Africa, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. We strongly believe that we have the right product offer and infrastructure to

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

consistently gain market share in these markets.

Q. What kind of research and development does the company undertake?

From the very beginning, research and development has been an important asset and growth driver for Numeric.

Post Numeric becoming a part of the Legrand Group, this focus on research has only accelerated. We have our own R&D centre in Chennai which ensures that the products we introduce in the Indian market are perfectly adapted to Indian conditions and habits. We work a lot in ensuring that our technology makes our products very environmentally friendly. Also, at Numeric we emphasize a lot on making the products user-friendly – right from selection to installation, to commissioning, usage and trouble-shooting. Our products are extremely energy-efficient and compact

with minimum footprint.

Q. What will be the triggers for growth?

Going ahead we expect steady growth in our sector. We believe that the IT and ITES, government, infrastructure and healthcare segments will grow faster than the rest of the segments. As such, we are very well-placed to take advantage of this potential that India offers today.

In particular, the factors driving this growth would be: • IoT and digitalization activities across sectors including the government’s ‘Digital India’ initiative.

• Smart cities initiative.

• The need for clean power across industries.

• Penetration of sensitive electronic gadgets in homes and hence the need for clean and uninterrupted power at home.

• Infrastructure growth.

• Growth of surveillance needs.

• Digitalization of entertainment, etc.

Q. Given that the government is keen to provide uninterrupted power to all by the year 2020, what are your long-term plans?

With our wide product offers and huge service infrastructure we would be able to do justice to all the requirements of our customers. Hence, we are quite confident of our growth prospects. We aim to grow twice compared to the market growth. And we plan to continue our investment in technology to not only to make better products but also leverage technology for providing better service to our customers. We will also invest our resources and energy in making the organisation leaner, more energetic, responsive and a fun place to work. We strongly believe that one of our strongest assets is our motivated team of close to 1,800 Numericans.

‘THE INDIAN SOLAR ENERGY MARKET IS GROWING AT LIGHTNING SPEED’ With an increasing number of industrial units across India now depending on solar energy to partly fulfill their energy requirements, companies in the renewable energy sector are gearing up for the rising demand in technologies. One such company is Gurgaon-based Nimray Solar. In this interview with Huned Contractor, the company’s founder and president, Ajay Singh, provides an overall perspective of the solar energy industry and his own strategy Q. Could you brief us about your company?

Mr. Ajay Singh, CEO Nimray Solar

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

During my stay in Dubai, I was impressed with their government’s active involvement in harnessing the potential of solar energy. The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy aims to provide 7% of Dubai’s energy from clean energy sources by 2020. It will increase this target to 25% by 2030 and 75% by 2050. And then I studied the situation in India where a metro city resident pays around Rs 7-8 per unit of electricity, the cost of which goes up to Rs 15-18 per unit if a DG set has to be used in case of power failure.

This made me think seriously about solar power and how the user can be the producer also. Instead of buying energy from a grid, we can produce enough energy for ourselves and sell the balance to a grid. This technology, called net metering, is already in place but not many are aware of it.

My idea of setting up Nimray Solar was to help make India free of power cuts. Our company is the first decentralized electricity network based on solar energy and blockchain technology. We are also the first to make use of crypto-currency to pay for the use of solar energy. As a result, users need not pay anything in the long run. Instead, they get paid by an energy provider for their electricity production.

We work as a platform to address all your solar power requirements – from analyzing your exact requirement to installing solar panels, and getting your plant registered and approved for net

metering. Our proprietary algorithm predicts your exact energy uses and saving in future. Roughly, your system recovers its cost in three years and works for 25 years.

Q. Could you give us an overview of the Indian solar energy market and its challenges?

In just 90 minutes, enough sunlight strikes the earth to provide the entire planet’s energy needs for one year.

While solar energy is abundant, it represents a tiny fraction of the world’s current energy mix. We have 300 days of sunlight and yet round-the-clock electricity is a dream for many. The Indian solar energy market is very vast and growing at a lightning speed. It is expected to grow by 90% in the next one year. As of November 2017, the country’s solar grid had a cumulative capacity of 12.29 GW. India quadrupled its solar generation capacity from 2,650 MW on May 26, 2014 to 12,289 MW as on March 31, 2017. The country added 3.01 GW of solar capacity in 2015-2016 and 5.525 GW in 2016-2017, the highest of any year, with the average current price of solar electricity dropping to 18% below the average price of its coal-fired counterpart.

Q. In terms of challenges, the biggest constraint is the hesitancy of people to use solar power.

This is despite the direct subsidy of 30% offered by the government. Unfor-

140 INDUSTRY FOCUS

tunately, we still refer to it as ‘alternative energy’ and not as ‘clean energy of the future’. What we need is standardization. Lack of awareness creates confusion when it comes to installing solar equipment. Also, for the same component, different solar EPC companies will quote different rates. This creates skepticism among consumers, including MSMEs. India’s initiative of 100 GW of solar energy by 2022 is an ambitious target but we need to bring about uniformity and standardization to give the right push to the solar energy industry. Also, when industries speak about being environmentally friendly, they need to realise that the use of solar energy can help reduce the carbon footprint by up to 95%. In addition, going off the main grid means less coal-based power consumption, which will lead to a reduction in the use of coal. This will help cut down on pollution too.

Q. Do you think solar energy can become the primary source of energy?

Yes, definitely by the year 2025 solar

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

power will be the only primary source of energy all over the world. Tesla already introduced solar tiles so that even while building a house it includes modules to power itself.

Electric cars will be on roads by 2020 as normal cars. And gradually, every appliance we use and everything we consume will come to depend on solar energy.

Q. What should the government do to promote the use of solar energy, especially in the industrial sector?

The present government has been very proactive when it comes to promoting solar energy. However, it should support private companies that are trying to change the mindset of people and turn it in favour of solar energy. Net metering should be made available across the country and there should be a uniform policy for all states to get rid of the current unstructured environment in which some states are promoting solar energy while others are not too keen to do so.

LAPP is simplifying and unifying its global brand identity The new branding is LAPP’s response to the fact that what was originally a cable manufacturer has developed into a provider of connection solutions

L

APP, experts in connection technology, has unified itself to one brand. By using the name LAPP in uniformity, the family company is underlining its international alignment and positioning themselves as world leader in connection technology. In future, national subsidiaries and departments will all operate under the name LAPP - one name and one logo for the company across the world, offering its customers the same outstanding service at all times, wherever they are.

Representing the company’s core values The new brand identity was on display for the first time at the Hanover Trade Fair this year. Hereafter, the family name will represent the company’s fundamental values - focus on success, customers, innovation and family.

The new branding is LAPP’s response to the fact that what was originally a cable manufacturer has developed into a provider of connection solutions.

Name affixes such as “Kabel”, “Cable” or “Cablo”, which have been used in many countries since the company was founded in 1959, will disappear.

In recent years, LAPP has successfully developed into a provider of integrated solutions and branded products for numerous industries and applications; as evidenced by the positive results for the past financial year which saw a 13.9 per cent increase of global turnover.

“Now is the right time to have a uniform name worldwide and a unified logo to link everything together,” explains Chairman Andreas Lapp. Customers and their needs were at the heart of the decision. “These days it is no longer so important in which country our customers buy our products and where they MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

are delivered to - we’ve been working as an international team for a long time. It is a logical progression for our external identity to reflect that. And what’s more: that is exactly what our customers expect”, Andreas Lapp continues. The change is a rational step in the company’s development but is also a joint decision by the Lapp family - LAPP is still LAPP. This was shown by the change of generations that occurred in 2017, when Matthias Lapp, a member of the third generation of the founding Lapp family, took over the role of CEO for Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South America.

About LAPP in India LAPP in India is a 100% subsidiary of the LAPP Group. Having started its operations in 1996, LAPP in India provides about 150,000 km per year of power, control, instrumentation and data cables along with connectors, accessories and End-to-End Systems to over 6000 customers pan India.

Highly efficient vibration isolation of deep-seated foundations Turbines, motor-driven boiler feed pumps (MDBFP), compressors and fans cause vibrations in power plants, affecting people, buildings and equipment in the surroundings. Getzner has installed its innovative antivibration materials in more than 15 Indian power, steel and chemical plants, providing effective vibration mitigation of deep-seated foundations

P

ower plants, with heavy industrial equipment such as gas turbines, hydro power turbines, motor-driven boiler feed pumps (MDBFP) and fans (Forced Draft fan, Primary Air fan, etc), are the origin of noise and vibrations. “Such vibrations do not only increase maintenance costs, but also affect people, buildings and equipment in the surroundings”, explains Sanjay

Steigs Power Plant: A proven example The Steigs Power Plant in Mels, Switzerland, is a good example for efficient vibration isolation. During the construction of the new underground hydroelectric power station from 2013 to 2014, the vicinity to two residential houses and another planned residential complex presented a major challenge. Just as the power plant itself, also the houses a mere 50 metres away stand on a rocky subsoil, which favours the transfer of vibrations. To prevent vibrations and structure-borne noise from being transferred, Getzner elastically decoupled the entire foundation block within the plant using Sylomer® materials. 170m² of different types of the high-tech material were used.

The result was outstanding: The level difference achieved with the elastically mounted machine foundation lies between 20 and 45 decibels. The system has also demonstrated the predicted natural frequency of 20 Hz.

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

Risbood, CEO and Resident Director of Getzner India.

The company with headquarters in Austria is a world technology leader in the field of vibration protection.

“Heavy turbines or pumps can be installed on deep-seated foundations with full-surface bearings”, says Mr. Risbood. In India, Getzner has provided this innovative solution in more than 15 power, steel and chemical plant projects throughout the country. Among them are the Essar Power plants in Salaya and Mahan, the GMR Energy plant in Raipur and the Costal Energen plant in Tuticorin.

Significant cost reduction The vibration mitigation characteristics of the in-house developed materials

At a Steel Plant in Jamshedpur, Getzner elastically decoupled the entire fan foundation block, efficiently reducing vibrations and noise.

In the Swiss Steigs Power Plant, Getzner elastically decoupled the entire foundation block, efficiently reducing vibrations and noise.

Sylomer® and Sylodyn ® are secondto-none in the market. Mr. Risbood: “Furthermore, the installation is easy and quick. No special equipment or staff training is required, and the concrete can be poured directly on the Sylomer or Sylodyn isolation layer.” In deep-seated foundations, the isolation layer is usually provided as a full-surface bearing. The system can be designed for in-situ concrete construction and for construction with pre-fabricated elements. “The elastic layer does not need any maintenance.

The slab design is simple and cost effective. All of this leads to significant cost reductions for deep-seated foundations”, emphasizes Mr. Risbood.

Schmersal is not only a manufacturer of safety components, but are also a system supplier. In developing the new PROTECT PSC1, we have taken a big step forward in the field of control technology.

The multifunctional PROTECT PSC1 system consists of a reliable, programmable compact safety controller and dependable extension modules and can be adapted perfectly to specific applications in various branches of industry. With its combination of certain properties, the new safety controller from Schmersal is unparalleled, as the PROTECT PSC1 has unique features that clearly set this control system apart from other solutions on the market.

The new generation of programmable modular safety controllers from Schmersal is embedded in a comprehensive offering of safety services.

Many of our customers want planning and advice from the outset, e.g. in the design of complex automation systems.

The PROTECT PSC1 consists of freely programmable compact PLCs with IO extension modules for signal processing of mechanical and electronic safety switchgear. The compact controllers can be equipped with a universal communication interface. This enables the selection and implementation of different fieldbus protocols easily using software. The PSC1

systems are often needed in which control functions are distributed on smaller, decentralised units that are networked together. Here, the PSC1 from Schmersal offers the means to configure individual protection systems on a software basis.

Furthermore, safe communication between different PSC1 controllers is facilitated via Ethernet SDDC (Safe Device to Device Communication). This simplifies the setup of complex, multi-part installations with networked safety subsystems.

Another advantage of PSC1: Owing to the optionally integrated SD bus gateway, additional non-secure diagnostic signals from connected sensors can be transmitted via a standard bus system to an automation control system. This also allows signals to be evaluated that are relevant for preventing downtimes and increasing plant availability – and this in turn facilitates a rise in efficiency.

Hardened solutions in linear motion The benefits of induction hardened linear guides in heavy duty applications

T

o better manage heavy loads and to better resist both wear and deformation, thus ensuring a greater number of cycles and an higher performance.These are just some of the benefits that an adequate hardening process can offer to a linear guide in industrial and heavy duty applications. Rollon Group, global provider of solutions for linear motion, has gained significant knowledge in raceways induction hardening. This particular heat treating process allows to achieve considerable results in terms of quality, durability and reliability of linear guides.

EFFICIENCY OF THE LINEAR GUIDE: AN HIDDEN QUALITY When it comes to linear motion rails, a high hardness value is critical. The less the surfaces is hardened, the sooner the rail will become susceptible to damage.

If hardness doesn’t extend to a sufficient depth, the component won’t be able to withstand heavy loads over the course of its lifetime, which can result in time-consuming and costly downtime for the system. For Rollon, when choosing a linear guide for an industrial application, three main factors have to be considered: • INDUCTION HARDENED RACEWAYS: this heat treating process

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

brings out the tough natural properties of steel, creating a thick zone around the raceway and ensuring hardness levels are achieved at critical depth and effective hardness.

• MATERIAL PURITY: to achieve maximum hardness levels, rails should be made from highquality, high-carbon composition steel that is specifically made for bearing applications.

• ADDITIONAL SURFACE FINISH: once a raceway undergoes induction hardening, its surface can be further machined to improve its anti-friction capabilities. Induction hardening and subsequent grinding and honing remove tool marks and high spots.

The extra smoothness, along with the hardness, both work to extend the life of the system.

AN EFFICIENT HARDENING PROCESS: How is it possible to achieve an

efficient hardening process?

Unfortunately, some rail manufacturing processes don’t impart sufficient hardness to the rails. When you consider the kinds of heavy loads that are applied to industrial raceways in warehouse automation, robotic cells, railway, machine tools and more, rails that have thin hardened surfaces will tend to crack under load. To avoid bearing failure, it’s important to know the location of the point of stress between the bearing and the rail.

The maximum stresses, which are called Hertzian contact stresses, aren’t on the surface at all, but beneath it. For that reason, a rail’s hardened layer needs to extend deep enough below the surface— something many other processes simply cannot achieve. That’s where Rollon’s induction hardening comes in.

186 TECH TRENDS

ROLLON’S INDUCTION HARDENING: Rather than creating a case-hardened surface, induction hardening creates a zone around the raceway with effective depths of 1.2 mm, successfully encompassing the maximum point of stress located beneath the rail’s surface. As a result of this process, an induction hardened rail can operate under heavy loads with no damage to the raceways over the course of its lifetime. In properly sized linear bearings, typical life ratings range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of kilometers of travel.

In this form of heat treatment, the metal first undergoes induction heating, a non-contact process that uses an electric current to create heat in the surface layer of a conductive material. The surface layer is then quenched, causing it to undergo a martensitic transformation and become harder than the base metal.

Compared to other conventional heat treatments, induction hardening offers several advantages, including fast heating rates, low energy consumption and cost savings. It also refines the structure and mechanical properties of the treated parts. Because the subsurface stresses on a loaded raceway can hit 500,000 psi, both rail hardness and hardness depth are critical values to measure during the induction hardening process. Measured on a “C” scale, Rollon’s bearings hardness varies from 58 to 62 HRC. A rail’s hardness depth will vary, as will the rail’s overall size, based on the requirements of your applica-tion. Small models, such as Rollon’s size 18 Compact Rail, integrate a hardness depth of 2 mm.

By contrast, large rails, such as Rollon’s size 63 Compact Rail, feature a hardness depth of 1.2 mm.

BOX: Lubricating the hardened rail A lack of effective lubrication on the surface of your

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

linear bearing can reduce its lifespan by a factor of 10.

Although lubrication is something you can’t avoid, you can choose bearings that have minimal lubrication needs by design, such as those with well-sealed rolling elements. Rollon’s Compact Rails, for example, integrate sealed rolling elements that require only a small amount of external lubrication every 2 millions cycles, depending on the application. The need to add lubrication in Compact Rail linear guides is therefore very limited.

FOCUS: Railway applications Telescopic guides and linear rails are used in many parts of trains. When a train is running, the balls and bearings in the doors and battery boxes, for example, are subject to hours of constant vibration while remaining in the static position. For these reasons, a bearing with insufficient hardness levels can easily become damaged or crack. In an industry where passenger safety is paramount, only induction hardened rails can stand up to the ongoing vibration trains experience. By avoiding the need to shut down an entire train for repairs, these sturdy components also help railcar manufacturers avoid troublesome and costly downtime.

Mechatronic approach and Industry 4.0.

Smart Factory, Industry 4.0, self-controlling production – the mechanical engineering sector is currently looking far into the future. The pace of innovation and reduced development times play an increasingly important role in global competition. To simplify engineering processes and increase reusability of the individual units, design engineers are focusing their attention on a modular design for machinery, in other words on a mechatronic approach.

T

he mechatronic approach is a success factor for businesses when developing new plant and machinery. The term “mechatronic” reflects the interaction between the “mechanic and “electronic” domains. A system built in accordance with the mechatronic approach essentially consists of modules. Each module contains sensors, actuators, information processing and a mechanical base system (hydraulic and/or pneumatic).

In terms of the challenges, only strict, interdisciplinary “modular thinking” will bring success in the medium and long term. Control systems play a key role here and must support this approach. This is where today’s systems reach their limits. On the one hand, although software modules can be MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

created, if these are to be executed by powerful, centralised control systems, commissioning of individual modules becomes quite complex. On the other hand, local control systems can be used for automation of the modules, but this requires additional effort in establishing communication. So the number and layout of the control units should ideally be based on the overall mechatronic design of the machine. These matters must usually be cleared up prior to design, to avoid causing the considerable expense of subsequent modifications.

The automation system PSS 4000 from Pilz opens up new possibilities in this area. Due to its decentralised structure, decisions such as the selection of a PLC to suit the design and control architecture can be postponed to a

much later point in the design phase. So design engineers can concentrate on the design of the components required for the process; issues of performance and structure can take a back seat. Whereas in classic automation a standalone, centralised control system monitors the plant or machine and processes all the signals, the PSS 4000 allows control functions to be distributed consistently.

In detail, the automation system PSS 4000 consists of hardware and software components such as the real-time Ethernet SafetyNET p and various programming editors designed for use in different sectors, with their application-oriented function blocks. The hardware includes control systems of various performance classes. Process or control data, failsafe data and diagnostic

information are exchanged and synchronised via Ethernet. Complexity in the field of communication is reduced by consistently merging safety and automation functions, while costs are also optimised.

What’s more, it makes no difference to the control function where the respective program section is processed.

Instead of a centralised control system, operators work with a user program distributed in runtime within a centralised project.

Modularity is the basis for mechatronic operation The Pilz Automation Suite PAS4000 is available for the software editors in the automation system PSS 4000.

Modularisation is a key aspect of this tool: elements are created from the basic functions; the elements in turn are used to create modules and the modules are used to create plant and machinery – simply through hierarchical block nesting. Basic functions, elements and modules form the backbone of the software development and are ideal to re-use as software components thanks to encapsulation and object orientation.

Pilz also supports this procedure by providing software libraries containing the most common basic functions, elements and modules. The selection of ready-made components from libraries is itself nothing new. A special feature of the PAS4000 is that these components have been assigned “properties”.

These allow the parameters for the required functions to be set simply. This is a particular benefit in terms of the standardisation of functions: previously the user had to ask himself how many functions he could bundle into a block without adversely affecting clarity. In practice the result was either a vast number of blocks, or too few blocks with a vast number of parameters. With PAS4000 it’s different. Here the user can create his preferred components, establishing a user level for their application; MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

this is then used to select the various functions. As a result, only the function is visible as a parameter; the component itself hides any complexity and remains easy for the user to manage.

Parallel engineering The use of components has an additional advantage: programming and hardware design can be split and can be run in parallel, not in sequence as before.

It’s common practice for the software development only to start once the machine specification has been established and the initial electrical circuit diagrams are available. If you think and design mechatronically, the processes can be split and run in parallel. As soon as the machine functions are standardised by creating components within libraries, the overall structure of the machine you wish to build can ultimately be designed with just some initial information. The detailed function of a component can be established later via the individual properties. The components that the machine will require can be roughly deduced from the initial project approval of all the faculties. Detailed functions can be defined retrospectively via the properties.

Modules communicate A considerable amount of work is in-

volved in establishing and maintaining communication between subscribers on a modern machine network. If you consider that mechatronic modules are also hardware modules and therefore include control intelligence in each module, then communication between modules, or rather between module control systems, becomes a key issue.

With PSS 4000, the communication setup is no longer explicit, but implicit.

Firstly, all information is known and accessible equally to all network subscribers.

Secondly, the communication channels of the control modules and individual modules are known to the whole project and are set up independently by the tool in accordance with the assignment, i.e. program distribution.

Summary The mechatronic approach places increased demands on the control solution. That’s because changes in individual plant sections have farreaching effects at control level, because program structures at central points of the control system need to be modified.

That’s why automation of the future demands solutions that are able to distribute control intelligence and guarantee that the necessary networking of several control systems remains easy for the user to handle. If you examine a machine’s life cycle, the benefits of a mechatronic approach become clear, particularly in the design and commissioning phases.

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

The MRS1000 can not only detect

in two dimensions, but can also measure in three dimensions using the additional layers. The SOPAS ET configuration software or a web server is used to display the data.

More data on several planes in a three-dimensional space results in high coverage and greater reliability.

n 2015 I had an opportunity to attend and present the success story of a company that was able to claim that ‘Make in India’ is definitely a possibility. The fact that today products manufactured here are meeting the most stringent global standards and that we are able to export such products to developed countries with the ‘Made in India’ tag speaks volumes about our capabilities. That was the first time many of us heard about the new concept

of Industry 4.0. As we learn more about the applications of Industry 4.0, one thing I can say is that this fourth industrial revolution, in comparison with the earlier ones, is an extension of internet-based technology as applied to our manufacturing setups. As such, there is no need to discard our existing infrastructure and make totally fresh investments to be able to comply with the standards laid down by Industry 4.0.

200 TECH TRENDS

Industry 4.0 is all about optimization of smart, flexible supply chains, factories and distribution models where machines capture and convey more data via machine-to-machine communications and to human operators. All this aims at enabling businesses to make quicker and smarter decisions while minimising costs. One can recount here the story of the Indian automotive manufacturing companies which made heavy investments during the period of 2006 to 2012. While this was being done, many of them partially or completely missed the fact that the requirement was actually for shorter PLM cycles and subsequently flexible manufacturing setups to cater to the fluctuating demands from customers, especially the middle class segment of buyers who were undergoing a positive financial transition, leading to more buying power.

Considering the above facts we need to understand our strengths and weaknesses and accordingly choose the right kind of investments for implementing Industry 4.0. The first and foremost important aspect is awareness.

The right step is being taken by many large organisations that have been hosting seminars on Industry 4.0 so that clear-cut and relevant information percolates down to all those engaged in manufacturing activities. Some of the recent seminars that I attended on this topic included those organised by companies like Rockwell and Siemens

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

as well as the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

A common point to note in Industry 4.0 is that it starts with the connectivity of the various elements in the manufacturing chain, beginning with decision-making at various stages as well as collecting relevant data so that channels can be established for product to machine to human communication.

This is what helps to improve the automation level, bringing into place a tracking system that envelops both the pre and post processes of production.

For instance, existing manufacturing systems that engage power and friction free conveyors, floor conveyors, etc. can be easily upgraded by adopting RFID or similar technology so that a bottom layer of communication is initially established. Once this is done, the system can be used for any type of tracking analysis besides automation of the system.

Smart sensor technology calls for new investments and quantifying it will be very difficult but if we network all the VFD devices along with the PLC inputs and outputs, there is a good amount of connectivity that can be obtained for our needs. Therefore, to reiterate, there is no need for a complete transformation of the existing plant to a smart network. The first stage should be the implementation of networking all the control levels without replacing the existing hardware. The challenge lies in the complicated nature of business

today that demands multi-location connectivity across the country, and perhaps the globe. We are forced to match our internal IT infrastructure with that of other players. Unfortunately, our network readiness in India is still poor and in the Network Readiness Index, India stands at 91 out of 136 countries.

This implies that we have a long way to go for cloud analysis and IOT for each and every aspect of Industry 4.0 Another aspect that is brought into play when we talk of Industry 4.0 is the use of robotics. Whether this will replace human labour is an issue that needs to be studied seriously. The situation in India is different than those of many developed countries. For instance, the population in Germany is ageing with the median age at 46 years.

The ageing population alone is expected to create a shortage of 1.8 million workers by 2020. Long-term prospects also look dim as the number of people aged 20-65 is expected to shrink by 7% by the year 2030. Meanwhile, India will have the largest number of people in the working age group of 15-59 years; half of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is already below 25 years of age. From 2010 to 2030, Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total working-age population is poised to rise from 749 million to 962 million, accounting for about 28% of the increase in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total working-age population over the period. Therefore, we need to ascertain our needs and carefully choose the implementation targets when it comes to Industry 4.0.

It also makes operations less critically dependent on individual operator experience, which will help manufacturers overcome skill gaps at a time when more veteran operators are retiring.

“Many operators currently say they don’t have enough visibility into their batch processes,” said Matthias Maaz, HPS director of pharma and specialty chemicals. “Not knowing what tasks are coming when or being unable to foresee delays can lead to reduced production.

Experion Batch solves this issue and allows operators to do more with less.”

Designed for specific industries Experion Batch is designed for industries such as pharmaceutical, specialty chemical and food processing, where manufacturers are challenged to increase operator efficiency and product quality MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

while using fewer resources to reduce costs. The technology simplifies ongoing maintenance by eliminating the need for a centralized, dedicated batch server.

This provides added benefit to customers by enabling engineering and maintenance personnel to take a unit controller out of service without affecting other units. Experion Batch also allows plants to easily and quickly transition from recipe testing to execution while reducing testing and validation efforts, and it is aligned with international batch standards ISA S88 and IEC 61512-1.

“Industries using batch software management solutions are characterized by increasingly complex production

processes, more multi-product lines and increasing numbers of recipes,” said Janice Abel, principal consultant, ARC Advisory Group. “Product innovation and speed to market are vital to the success of these manufacturers. The trend for batch manufacturing is toward real-time manufacturing, which requires closer coordination between the batch and control system software and sensors, and improved operator visibility into the process. Any solution that can improve visibility into what has happened, what is happening now, and how the operator can anticipate subsequent actions should be of high value to batch manufacturers.”

Pepperl+Fuchs’ I4.0 Solutions for Day-to-Day Production Interaction between Sensor Technology and the Data Cloud

A

t the Pepperl+Fuchs stand, visitors to Hannover Messe can view their likeness as a digital image and experience production in lot size size one. Visitors can scan themselves in 3-D and have the image printed on the front page of a trade fair magazine. With the help of a digital twin, the production process on a sheet metal bending machine will be simulated and the results used live for optimization in response to the differing properties of various raw materials.

As part of its “Solutions Park”, Pepperl+Fuchs is presenting two new exhibits at the trade fair, in which integrated processes in line with Industry 4.0 standards will be demonstrated in real time.

With the company’s “Connected Customization” concept, production in lot size one can be experienced at first hand: Visitors at the trade fair will be scanned in 3-D from head to toe by six 2-D LiDAR MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

sensors from the R2000 series. The contour data will then be available in a standard data format for further processing across the world on the NeoNeon cloud run by Neoception, a subsidiary of Pepperl+Fuchs. At the show, the data will be converted into an image and printed onto the cover of a personalized trade fair magazine, but it can also be used as the basis for producing a 3-D image anywhere in the world.

The Digital Twin Concept With the “Digital Twin” concept, visitors to the stand can configure their chosen product from a piece of sheet metal. As part of the demonstration, the data will be transferred to one of Austrian manufacturer Salvagnini’s sheet metal bending machines, which will immediately start production of the individual product.

To make this possible in lot size one without bending tests, the process must

be optimized for each batch of material since the bending properties of sheet metal can vary significantly. To do this, the behavior of the actual metal sheet is analyzed at the beginning of the bending process and aligned with a digital twin of the metal and the bending machine developed by the Linz Center of Manufacturing (LCM). The adjustment parameters are then calculated and transferred to the machine during the on-going bending process.

The machine is equipped with inductive positioning systems and ultrasonic sensors made by Pepperl+Fuchs. For quality control purposes, the contour of the finished product is checked with a light section sensor from the SmartRunner Matcher series.

Just the right dose of intelligence

Nothing herein shall constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy. The ACOPOStrak product is not available for sale into the United States of America until September 2018.

Hybrid transport makes personalized mass production profitable At the Hannover Messe, B&R showed for the first time how ACOPOStrak can be combined with convention-al conveyor belts. This brings the flexibility of the intelligent ACOPOStrak track system together with the low cost of a conveyor system – the perfect recipe for more cost-effective mass customization.

Seamless shuttle hand-off One intelligent station on the path through the production line is all it takes to create a mass customized product.

Product transport is handled almost entirely by low-cost conveyor belts – except for the one sta-tion where the products are personalized. That’s where the intelligent ACOPOStrak comes into play. Since both systems use the same

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

guide rails, the transitions between them are seamless.

Mass customization for brownfield plants ACOPOStrak combines the motor and electronics into a single unit with the power electronics and a power-ful processor integrated right in the motor housing. No additional inverters or motion control units are re-quired, making the intelligent transport system extremely compact. Thanks to the modular design, it is easy to integrate ACOPOStrak segments of various lengths into an existing plant.

Tested igus tribo-polymer bearings for aircrafts Lightweight plastic plain bearings approved after fire tests by independent testing institute

F

ive iglidur high-performance polymers now officially comply with the fire safety requirements of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aircraft interiors. Areas of application for plain bearings made of these materials are, for example, bearing points in seats, tables and doors. The maintenancefree bearings ensure a light, safe and lubrication-free solution.

Lightweight, quiet and fail-safe - these are some of the key criteria for aviation components. Interior components of airplanes also require compliance with strict fire safety standards. The plain bearing materials iglidur G V0, iglidur X, iglidur A350, iglidur H and iglidur J350 of the motion plastics specialist igus have now been positively tested by an independent test institute in accordance with the fire test FAR CS 25.853 App F, Part 1a 1 (ii).

The five plain bearing materials are also rated V0 according to UL94, making them the optimal solution for moving applications in aircrafts, for example in fold-out tables, adjustable seats or also in hinges of doors and luggage compartments.

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

With these five materials, designers of interior equipment in aircrafts have the suitable iglidur materials for all plain bearing applications: the cost-effective all-rounder iglidur G V0, the FDAcompliant iglidur A350, the iglidur J350 and iglidur H with exceptionally low moisture absorption all the way to iglidur X, the high tech problem solver.

iglidur plain bearings: a lubrication-free and lightweight solution Like all igus products, iglidur plain bearings operate completely without external lubrication. Instead, solid lubricants homogeneously engrained in the material ensure silent and smooth operation. This gives users several advantages - first, they save elaborate maintenance work and costs through regular re-lubrication, second there is no additional effort during assembly and, third, the components always remain clean, which is an important criterion particularly in aircraft interiors.

Advantages compared to metal bearings - every gram counts in the air Compared to metallic alternatives, igus

iglidur bearings are up to seven times lighter, which is crucial in the aerospace industry, where every kilogram saved pays off directly in range or efficiency.

Last but not least, they are cheaper than metal bearings and also corrosion-free.

In contrast to metal bearings, they are more flexible, which not only simplifies assembly and helps to minimise noise, but also makes the bearings insensitive to impact and edge loads. A big advantage especially in applications such as folding tables on aircraft seats.

With the high-performance plastics from igus, savings are three fold: in weight, maintenance and price. In addition, within 50 materials users can find a comprehensive solution using numerous materials that meet the various legal and industry-specific regulations. Whether FDA and EUcompliance for the food industry, for drinking water contact, the tobacco industry or even general and industryspecific fire protection standards such as for aircraft or railway technology.

Users always find the right bearing.

New vacuum generator from Schmalz: Creating a vacuum without compressed air The electrical vacuum generator ECBP from J. Schmalz GmbH represents a new generation of intelligent vacuum generators that do not require compressed air. The ECBP has an integrated interface for connection to grippers and robots, and is particularly suited for use on lightweight robots in mobile robotics as well as for stationary handling tasks.

T

he electrical vacuum generator ECBP is ideal for handling airtight and slightly porous workpieces. It features an integrated speed control function, which regulates the power of the pump to suit the process or workpiece: Moving porous workpieces such as cardboard requires considerable suction capacity and thus considerable energy. Airtight materials, on the other hand, require less power, meaning the user can reduce the speed.

This degree of flexibility makes the vacuum generator extremely energy efficient.

As the vacuum is generated without compressed air, and thus the accompanying hosing, the ECBP is particularly useful in mobile robotics,

fully automated small parts handling as well as for stationary handling tasks.

Different grippers from the Schmalz VEE modular system can be attached simply and easily via integrated flanges.

Connection to lightweight robots from different manufacturers works in the same way.

Ability to monitor using condition monitoring function Via a data interface, the ECBP provides the user with energy and process data via IO-Link from the machine to the cloud. The condition monitoring function recognizes deviations in the vacuum supply, for example, thus reducing faults and downtimes. This considerably increases the reliability of the system for the user.

Furthermore, the user has various options for adapting the pump capacity to the handling process: For example, the ECBP can be parameterized directly on the device, using an NFC-enabled mobile terminal or via IO-Link in the control center.

Thanks to the

plastic housing, the ECBP weighs just 700 grams and is designed in such a way that there are no interfering contours. The electrical connection to the pump is established via an 8-pin M12 connector. The maximum suction capacity is up to 12 liters per minute at a maximum current strength of 0.7 amperes.

The FEM-optimised UNICASE housing ensures maximum strength and rigidity.

In addition to increased rigidity the internally reinforced design also ensures especially quiet running. All bearings and seal seats are contained within the casing, eliminating joints which can weaken the housing and allow oil leakage. Bores and mounting faces are machined in one step, enabling extremely precise tolerances â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thus ensuring accurate positioning of gear teeth, bearings and seals, and longer life for all components.

The housing is made from high strength,

MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

corrosion resistant aluminium and is therefore especially lightweight and robust. Additional protection is provided by the optionally available nsd tupH surface treatment. The smooth, easy to clean housing makes the NORDBLOC.1 gear unit particularly suitable for users from hygienically critical sectors such as the food or pharmaceutical industries.

The gear units are generously dimensioned and can withstand large radial and axial forces. A particular benefit of the large bearings is the larger diameter of the internal shafts, which increases the bearing strength. The gear wheels are made from case-hardened steel and permit high short-term overloads.

The new NORDBOLOC.1 products are available in five sizes with motor powers from 0.12 to 7.5 kW for output torques of up to 280 Nm.

Maruthi & its customized materials handling solutions

A

n automobile engineer starting a materials handling business?

Yes, that’s precisely what Mr. S.S. Pillai did way back in 2000. But he had had 15 years’ experience in a materials handling company as a Production Incharge before relinquishing the office and deciding to do something on his own.

That’s the beginning of Maruthi Handling Equipments based in Coimbatore, the company that has carved a niche for itself in offering in-plant materials handling solutions. Mr. Pillai remembers that the first product he came up with was a Pallet Truck. Then he made a Manual Stacker and Semi Electric Stacker, all in quick succession. Today Maruthi offers a whole range of materials handling equipment which includes Pallet Trucks, High Lift Pallet Trucks, Manual Stackers, Semi-Electric Stackers, S.S. Pallet Trucks, Pallet Trucks -Paper Roll Model, Floor Cranes, etc. “We have 350 plus medium size customers. Most of them come to us again and again with their new requirements. They are quite happy with our quality products and our prompt service,” says Mr. Pillai.

Maruthi products go predominantly to textile & dyeing units, chemical plants, pharma, paper and engineering industries – all for in-plant materials handling. The company has developed a Stainless Steel Pallet Truck for chemical and pharma plants where hygiene and contamination control in handling are of paramount importance. The company has also come out with Pallet Trucks with weighing scales which can weigh payloads up to 3 tonnes.

Maruthi has its manufacturing facility in Neelikonampalayam, Coimbatore which is ISO certified. Quality is a watchword at Maruthi. At least 25% of its products are custom-built to meet specific needs of the customer. “We closely interact with the customer, understand his application and then MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

develop a product to suit his needs.

Since reliability is the fulcrum of materials handling products, we pay utmost attention to the selection of the right material of construction. When it comes to fabrication, we use MIG welding for obtaining sound, flawless welds. We make doubly sure of the strength of the components like the chassis which is the backbone of the equipment which has to handle load,” explains Mr. Pillai.

The company also has an efficient set-up to attend to service calls, if any.

“When there is a problem, we attend to it promptly and see that the customer’s pain point is addressed with least delay so that productivity is not hampered, “ reveals Mr. Pillai. No wonder Maruthi is taking a premium for its quality materials handling products which are precision engineered to perform in tough work environments.

duction process in integrated cement plants or they can also be the key part of distribution terminals. For the cement industry these storage silos are very important because this allows a continuous production while the cement dispatch can be discontinuous. Largest cement storage silos in the cement industry are built with diameters up to 30 m while typical silos for the storage up to 20000 t cement have typically 16 to 30 m in diameter and Height 72 m in height. It is clear that such silos require an efficient and trouble-free emptying. Accordingly highest requirements are given to overall plant reliability and practically 100% availability. To achieve a high availability flow problems have to be strictly eliminated. From the theory of flow in silos it is well-known, that this can only be achieved with mass-flow. For cement silos the central cone version has become the predominant design. On the one hand the central cone has a displacement function for the material in the silo; on the other hand several designs especially for multi-compartment designs become possible. Multi-compartment silos are used for producing special cements from a number of main and secondary cement components.

Not only has the shape of the building reminded of a crystal, but also the surface of the façade. To attach the Local Scaffolder solved this task technically with the Layher Scaffolding and Technical team: section by section they adapted the scaffold to the slope of the building with various brackets on the inside and then shifted it inwards by one scaffold width. Scaffold was anchored with the help of Layher Anchoring equipment, even the increased wind loads could be transferred without putting unnecessary strain on the structure.

The construction of Scaffolding for maintenance of Silo is challenging task due to wind pressure. The selection of support systems (scaffolding with permanent structure) and avoid obstructions by bracket or cable tray around the silo.

Layher Allround Scaffolding systems provide unique, bolt-less connection technique, the patented Allround joint has replaced the conventional scaffold technique especially in construction of Scaffold for Silo up-to Height 54 meter.

Allround Scaffolding can accommodate all types of high loads and is the ideal system for all kinds of support scaffolding. Allround scaffolding has an efficient solution to deal with all challenges, regardless of whether they involve false work at great height or round inner scaffolding.

It needs to be built in a modular scaffolding system for maintenance of Silo and high rise Industrial structure.

Cement Plant have situated near the sea shore so need to take care of wind force.

Anchoring is essential for the stability of the scaffolding must be continually installed as scaffolding assembly progresses. Only provide anchoring on sufficient strong components, if necessary testing the anchoring surface by pull – out tests. A check can be dispensed with if sufficient load- bearing capacity can be assessed on the basis of professional experience and the service e value of the anchoring force does not exceed 1.5 KN or in the case of reinforced concrete.

Connect Horizontal Ledger with two standard couplers with very wide scaffolding structures, it must be necessary to anchor with the aid of a horizontal ledger. The selection of anchoring configuration depends on the bay width, the load on the scaffolding, Live load, wind load and the structural height of the scaffolding. As the load on the scaffold increase, the anchoring configuration must become denser in order to pass the force safely into the anchoring surface.

The dense the anchoring configuration shall the lower the force on the individual wall ties.

Landing – Type aluminium Stair Access With Layher Modular stair tower, access possibilities that always fit and that

match the system. With the landing type Aluminum stair tower, it is simple to construct a 4-standard stairway tower, either integrated into the scaffolding or as a free-standing access structure anchored on the building. There is no hindrance to work on scaffolding by using Aluminum landing type stairway. Furthermore, a distinction is made between independent access structures that are anchored to the silo and access structures that are integrated into the Scaffolding. The maximum Permissible load bearing capacity of Aluminum stair tower is 2.5 KN/m2. The load bearing Capacity of Access Platform is 2.5 KN/m2. It is easy to construct up to 54 mtr height due to light weight components. Attach the necessary anchoring continually in accordance with structural requirements. Entire Scaffolding is connected with two stair tower considering all safety measures including hand rail at both side.

Unlike external platform stairway access, the platform stair tower has the advantage that work being done inside the scaffolding is not hindered by people ascending or descending.

Allround Scaffolding, thanks to 8 different connections possible at the Allround connector and the variable choice of angles, it is simple task to erect scaffolding around curved surfaces. Possible connections and variable angle selection, curved surface can be enclosed with scaffolding without any problem. To build economical large-diameter scaffolding, the largest possible bay widths must be planned. In systems solutions using Allround equipment, two variants have proven their worth in practice: in the first variant, only system bays are used, while the second variant uses intermediate bays. In both cases, it is recommended that at least the last bay be selected as an equalizing bay.

Green manufacturing practices at Ador Welding

Mr. S.S. Bhoi, Head-Operations, Ador Welding Ltd

Q. What are your comments on Green manufacturing?

Green manufacturing (GM) is a term used to describe manufacturing practices that do not harm the environment during any part of the manufacturing process. Green Manufacturing stresses on reducing parts, rationalizing materials, replacing materials with non/ less-hazardous one and reusing components and to help build products more efficiently. It emphasizes on the use of processes that do not pollute the environment or harm consumers, employees or other members of the community.

Green manufacturing addresses several manufacturing matters, including 4R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Remanufacturing), conservation, waste management, water supply, environmental protection, regulatory compliance, pollution control and a variety of related issues.

Q. How can you and how do you apply green production practices in your company? What are the various ‘Green Practices’ you follow?

Ador Welding Limited (AWL), a Complete Welding & Cutting Solutions Provider, has been catering to the needs of the industry with a pan-India setup of manufacturing plants for Welding Consumables & Welding Equipment. It has the highest capacities for a welding MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

manufacturer in the country. AWL has been a firm believer in environment conservation through green production practices that have been implemented across all its plants.

Manufacturing process of Copper coated MIG welding wire involves harmful chemicals like Sulphuric acid & copper sulphate solution. Enormous amount of hazardous sludge gets generated as by-product. This sludge is non-biodegradable. Around 10 trucks of sludge is generated from each consumable plant equalling 60 metric tonnes of sludge per month. This amounts to approx. 720 metric tonnes of sludge generation from each plant annually.

In a bid to turn Ador Welding Limited, GREEN, Team-Technical Development Centre, Consumables has developed Copper-free MIG wire.

The resultant wire showed excellent welding capability with minimal smoke and fume as compared to conventional copper coated MIG wires. This has the potential to reduce hazardous waste generation by less than half of the present levels…astounding 360 tonnes per plant. i.e; around 720 tonnes for both plants combined per annum.!

The non-copper coated MIG wire will also reduce dangerous copper fume generation to a quarter of the present levels!

As an ongoing process towards reducing process loss due to potentially hazardous chemicals and mineral has dropped down to 3.4% from 11% in the last five years. Some of the actions taken to achieve this are as mentioned below: • Old technology equipment replaced with latest technology equipment.

E.g. – Fly cutters to stop and out type that are more efficient and generate negligible waste.

• Extruders – Replaced from lowered generation of unusable waste flux to the tune from 5% to 0.25%.

• Dust generation reduced drastically

•

•

•

•

due to which suspended particulate matter has reduced from 1.3% to 0.3% by the use of advanced dust collection systems.

Fine powder of flux is recycled through the advanced dust recovery system, instead of being released into the environment through conventional bag filters.

Scrubbers have been installed for neutralisation of acid fumes generated during various copper coating processes.

Conventional flux, chemical and raw material conveying system upgraded to closed trolley type.

Acid spillage and dust generation on shop floor lowered to a large extent, thereby creating a healthy environment for the workers.

Besides these, a number of other measures have been taken to ensure an allround green environment.

1. Rain water harvesting system installed in all plants.

2. Digitalisation to the highest extent possible has ensured a paper-free working environment.

3. Canteen waste accumulated, decomposed and converted to naturally generated organic manure 4. Open/dry places converted into green places by planting flora and fauna.

Shifting from non-Renewable energy to Renewable energy Renewable energy refers to the type of energy derived from imperishable resources of nature. Examples of potential sources of renewable power include biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, and water. Renewable power is considered a green and clean form of energy. Take any of the inexhaustible power sources - sunlight, wind, water, biomass; they generate zero harmful emissions or pollutants in the environment. Compare them with fossil fuels that contribute a high percentage of air and water pollut-

238 INSIGHT

ants (e.g. carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide). Thus, sustainable power is also advantageous in terms of reducing greenhouse gases and global warming.

The initial configuration and machine setup for obtaining renewable energy is costly. Consider it for long-term use, and you will find them less expensive than fossil fuels. They operate by means of natural processes (water flow, wind, sunlight, etc.) that do not require external feeding of fuels. Consequently, minimal maintenance is sufficient for efficient working of the power plants.

AWL is installing 450KW solar panel in its Raipur plant with an Initial investment of Rs. 2 Cr. This investment has long term benefits directly and indirectly for the environment as well as to the Organization. In future, all the other plants will also be installed with similar solar energy panels. This move will eliminate the burning of fossil fuel to the tune of 75,00,000 kg (7500 MT) every year!

This green energy generation is one of the biggest green production practices adopted by Ador Welding Limited.

Q. How do you define ‘Green Engineering Technology’?

Green Engineering Technology highlights state-of-the-art research in engineering for sustainability. A little modification and a changed approach help match science and technology and ensure that we move towards our goal of sustainability. While we absolutely must have an understanding of our environment; this can only be accomplished through monitoring, measurement, analysis, and characterization.

This understanding alone is not enough.

Solutions are needed. There are numerous examples of green engineering in industry, academia, and government, but the approaches used have not been applied either systematically or comprehensively across all disciplines and all scales. For this reason, a framework, the 12 Principles of Green Engineering, was constructed for engineers seeking MAY 2018 | www.engrreview.com

to incorporate sustainability goals as design criteria. The 12 Principles of Green Engineering. Principle 1 - Designers need to strive to ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are as inherently non-hazardous as possible. Principle 2 - It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it is formed. Principle 3 Separation and purification operations should be designed to minimize energy consumption and materials use. Principle 4 - Products, processes, and systems should be designed to maximize mass, energy, space, and time efficiency.

Principle 5 - Products, processes, and systems should be “output pulled” rather than “input pushed” through the use of energy and materials. Principle 6 - Embedded entropy and complexity must be viewed as an investment when making design choices on recycle, reuse, or beneficial disposition. Principle 7 - Targeted durability, not immortality, should be a design goal. Principle 8- Design for unnecessary capacity or capability (e.g., “one size fits all”) solutions should be considered a design flaw. Principle 9 - Material diversity in multi-component products should be minimized to promote disassembly and value retention. Principle 10 Design of products, processes, and systems must include integration and interconnectivity with available energy and materials flows. Principle 11- Products, processes, and systems should be designed for performance in a commercial “afterlife”. Principle 12- Material and energy inputs should be renewable rather than depleting.

Q. Are you already in the ‘Sustainable Manufacturing’ mode?

Yes, we are as elaborated in some of my previous answers. As the pioneer company in welding, Ador is always focused on sustainable manufacturing practices. We are an ISO 9001, ISO 14000, ISO 18000 certified organisation.

Our products meet stringent national and international standards. This is

clearly an indication of the ‘Sustainable Manufacturing’ model. . However, we firmly believe that Sustainable manufacturing is a continual process. The world is currently experiencing increasing levels of industrial contamination.

Hence the demand for sustainable product and raw materials aligned with the ecological pollution is the need of the hour. Copper-free MIG wire manufacture is one of the many steps taken

by Ador Welding limited.

Q. Do you also extend the same to your supply chain?

Yes. We have extended the ‘Sustainable Manufacturing’ model to our supply chain. Raw Material Purchase Specifications Sheet which contains desired specifications / raw material mix has been created since we deal with quantum of minerals and chemical. We have identified hazardous pollutant in the raw materials and restricted its content accordingly. We are also having a fullfledged testing laboratory to analyse the raw material received from the supplier.

In case of any non-conformity, we immediately reject the lot. In addition to this, we issue the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) certificate along with our finished product. This is a proof that our product doesn’t deal with any hazardous content during storage, handling and usage. Our Quality Assurance teams regularly conduct audit of our supplier’s units to ensure their conformance to our standards.

Conclusions : In order to achieve sustainable living on this planet, conventional technologies may no longer be able to tackle emerging environmental issues arising from wasteful energy policies, overuse of resources, water supply shortages, climate change, global warming and deforestation. Advancement in science and technology has contributed to the development of emerging green technologies that might help to solve some, if not all, of the environmental issues that we are facing.

In addition to straight and profile cuts, the air-cooled inverter with the new torch Flash 101 can also be used for bevel cutting up to 30° and marking with 20 A. For these purposes, no additional equipment or software is required. The adaption to CNC-controlled and other automatic guiding systems can be done quickly and easily. The costs per cutting metre are low due to high cutting speeds and the efficient use of air as plasma gas and swirl gas.

WELD SURFACING Surfacing minimizes downtime required for replacement of worn-out components, Reduces inventory by reducing the amount of replacements needed, and Saves money. For worn-out components, surfacing can save up to 75 percent of the cost of replacing worn parts.

T

oday’s industry is required to manufacture components with superior properties for longer service life and in an economical manner. The aim is to achieve an improvement in surface properties by altering surface characteristics in a component.

Components often fail their intended service not only because of fracture, but because of additional factors such as wear, abrasion and corrosion which cause them to lose dimension and functionality.

The service conditions most commonly experienced by components are: • • • • • •

Abrasion Metal to metal wear Impact Erosion Oxidation Corrosion

Out of the above modes of wear, Abrasion occurs in about 50% of cases. Then impact, metal to metal wear, corrosion and others in decreasing order. Most of the components fail from a combination of modes, such as abrasion and impact.

For example, a mining bucket tooth is subjected to abrasion and impact, and depending on the type of material mined, one mode may be more dominant than another. This decides the welding product/s to be used.

up wear resistant or corrosion resistant overlayby welding or spraying. It is composed of one or more stringer or weave beads, on a surface to obtain desired properties or dimensions.

Welding consumables designed for wear-resistant applications are commonly referred to as hardfacing consumables, in spite of the fact that hardness is not always a true measure of wear resistance.

It is apparent that surfacing consumables are meant to be used as much in the design of new components as in the reclamation of used and or worn-out components in order to reduce their wear and tear in service.

Based on application requirements surfacing can be classified as: Hardfacing Overlay Corrosion Resistant Overlay

I HARDFACING OVERLAY Hardfacing is the process of the deposition of thick coatings of hard, wear-resistant materials on a worn-out or a new component surface that is subject to wear in service. Welding and Thermal Spraying are the processes generally used to apply hardfacing layers.

Thermal spraying is preferred for applications requiring minimal thermal distortion of the component and

Fig. 2 - Hardfacing on Pipe good process control. Cermets such as WC-Co and alumina-based ceramics are deposited by thermal spraying. These coatings are applied to a thickness of about 0.3mm and have limited usage.

Weld hard facing by conventional welding processes is used to deposit very thick up to 10mm dense layers of wear resistant material with a good metallurgical bond.

Most commonly used alloy system for hardfacing is iron based chromium carbide alloy with Cr>17% and C>3%.

This type of alloy can resist wear upto 350OC. With various proportion of chromium carbides in combination with refractory metals such as Nb, W, V can achieve high temperature hardness and wear resistance upto 750OC.

Typical hardness data: Bulk hardness : 55-60 HRc Carbide hardness : 900-1200 VPN Matrix hardness : 500-700 VPN

SURFACING Surfacing involves deposition of filler metal on a base metal to obtain desired properties or dimensions. This broad definition can include processes like electroplating and metal spraying. In metallurgical terms, surfacing is depositing a filler metal on base metal to build

TECH TRENDS 241

Apart from bulk hardness, the volume fraction of carbides, its shape and distribution in a matrix decides wear resistance of an alloy. The bulk hardness requirements for wear resistant applications generally vary from 50 to 68 HRc. For hard facing applications, weld deposits are normally restricted to up to two to three layers. Limited-layer products usually are in the metal carbide families such as chromium carbide, complex alloy carbides and tungsten carbide. For multi layer applications there are austenitic alloys and some martensitic alloys too are used.

STRESS RELIEF CRACKS The brittle nature of the metal carbides leads to stress relief cracking, and as multiple layers are applied, stress continues to build which concentrates at the root of the cracks, until separation or spalling occurs between the parent metal and the hardfacing deposit. These are the result of high stresses induced by the contraction of weld metal as it cools.

These cracks always occur perpendicular to the bead length (Fig.4).

The cracks propagate through the thickness of the weld bead and stop at the parent metal, as long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not brittle. In the cases where the parent metal is hard or brittle, there is need to apply

Carbon and low alloy steels, Stainless steels, Mn steels, Cast irons, Nickel and Copperbase alloys can be hard-faced. For steels with carbon content above 1% a suitable buffer layer is required. For corrosion resistant applications, Carbon and low-alloy steels are most popularly used.

Fig. 5 - Corrosion resistant overlay cladding

II. CORROSION RESISTANT OVERLAY These overlays are used to improve the service life of components made with an otherwise corrosion-prone material.

Surfacing for corrosion resistance is recommended for use of one layer only.

However, for certain applications of wear areas of pump linings a second layer of surfacing is applied. In this process, weld metal dilution is very important to control and affect ferrite percentage in especially in case of stainless steel overlays.

Overlay Patterns: Depending on the type of wear, there are several types of surfacing patterns can be used viz.; stringer, weave, zigzag, dot or a combination of all.

Base Metals

Welding Techniques Various welding techniques used for surfacing are listed in order of popularity. The major factor which affects the economics of hardfacing is deposition rate. Below table shows the estimated deposition rate for each process.

Strip Cladding (ESSC or SASC) is another technique for corrosion resistance overlaying of Stainless steel and Nickel based alloys. The other special surfacing processes are Plasma transferred arc welding (PTA), Laser cladding, Thermal spraying, and Brazing. With the Oxy-fuel welding (OFW) process too surfacing can be done but this technique is less Process

Many metal carbide alloys show stress relief cracks when cooled to moderate temperatures; this is normal. Alloys from austenitic and martensitic families do not show this phenomenon when applied with proper welding procedures.

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

demand. Compressed air purification equipment must deliver uncompromising performance and reliability while providing the right balance of air quality with the lowest cost of operation. As a quality-centric group, Gem ensures that its dryers are test at each stage of assembly as per ISO 7183 or relevant standards.

The Sugar Industry is very well established since decades. When the raw material, that is sugar cane, arrives in the factory, the sugar beet is weighed and sugar content is determined.

The sugar beet is then washed thoroughly to remove any adhering soil. Sugar beet is sliced into thin strips and Sugar Crushing Mill is used to extract the juice from the sliced sugar beets by squeezing or pressing.

For this, a multiple set of 3-4 rollers is used. This juice is further passed through various processes like purification of juice, evaporation of water content, boiling, centrifuging, drying and cooling before the sugar is stored in silos.

In the sugar industry the technology is changing very fast and at the same time, the machinery is also rapidly ageing. Getting service support becomes very difficult and costly.

Unplanned interruptions of process due to the ageing equipment in peak season costs a lot of production loss.

The growing expectations of efficient plant operations to remain competitive puts an additional pressure to find

new ways to improve the process. The sugar crushing mill is no exception. It is driven by either turbine or DC motor or AC motor.

Running on turbine is not an energy efficient method.

There is a lot of waste of steam and steam recovery is not up to the requirement.

It has also limitation to run at low speed when crushing requirement is low.

In case of DC Motor and drive, DC motor maintenance is very high in terms of consumables like carbon brush and commutator. At the same time, no power saving is obtained at low speed.

The latest trend is to use AC motor for sugar crushing mill. As AC motor can also deliver required torque at a given speed and to support that speed regulation with constant torque, Variable Frequency Drives are available. Over a period of time this technology has matured and is more reliable.

Use of Variable Frequency Drive gives smooth acceleration and deceleration to motor at the required torque. It also enhances the efficiency of the system and improves power factor.

For sustainable and safer environment, ‘Masyc Bag House Dust Collectors’ are used for various applications in the process plants such as Cement, Coal, Chemicals, Thermal Power Plant, Paper & Pulp, Mining & Minerals, Steel, Sugar & Food Industries, etc. Masyc bag filters (Dust Collectors) work on the principle of Pulse Jet Technology. A powerful shockwave passes through the filter cartridge during cleaning. The dust is discharged from the filter surface and the downwards flowing air allows it to fall in to the container.

The pulse from the valve is distributed into the cartridge via a unique laser out zigzag slot along the length of the blow pipe. The effect of the cleaning is further enhanced by the venturi shaped outlet of the cartridge. The result of the innovative cleaning and cartridge design gives an overall increased efficiency and lower operating costs.

Masyc Dust Collectors (Bag Filters)are manufactured under the latest and innovative design aspects and technol-

ogy. For example, the tube sheets are always laser cut to maintain utmost accuracy in maintaining the perfect verticality of each bag. Normally the enclosure of the Bag Filter is fabricated in Panel formation so as to avoid excessive welding of stiffeners on the outer wall of enclosures. Each panel is laser cut and then bent on the computerized machine which ensures the perfect assembly prior to final welding. Further, the Rotary Air Lock, Screw Conveyor & Chain Conveyor required for conveying the dust from the dust hopper are also manufactured in-house. Masyc’s major customers include Amrit Cement, Bhushan Steel and Power, Binani Cement, Jindal Saw, Nirma Group, Ultratech Cement, Wonder Cement, etc.

SBS AE -1000 Acoustic Emission Monitoring SBS AE -1000 Acoustic Emission Monitoring reduces air grinding time and alerts the operator of crash conditions by using proprietary acoustic detection technology to monitor and analyze the high frequency signals generated by the grinding process The AE-1000 reports initial contact between the wheel and a new part to the machine

control system so it can stop wheel in-feed without operator intervention, which can save up to 20% of the typical cycle time. It can also detect and report abnormal contact from an incorrectly

256 PRODUCT SHOWCASE

loaded part or fixture within milliseconds, allowing the infeed to be stopped, avoiding a crash, damage or injury.

Position control, used to zero the machine before beginning a grinding or dressing cycle, is possible by detecting the edge of the wheel touching a reference point known to the machine CNC. The CNC thereby can determine the exact position

and diameter of a changing grinding wheel.

Monitoring for normal acoustic levels during wheel dressing permits the operator or CNC control to (1) determine if the wheel is being dressed fully across its width, (2) control the aggressiveness of the process, and (3) maintain the quality of the dressed wheel to conserve wheel material.
