CEO CORNER LIFE & MACHINE SAFETY - Protecting the real assets Most organizations use two fundamental metrics to measure the success of an environmental health and safety program: regulatory compliance and reduced incident rates. While these are certainly valid and important performance indicators, they measure past results only. Moreover, the organization’s primary focus is on avoiding negative consequences rather than striving for greater performance by improving safety, productivity, competitiveness, sustainability, and overall profitability. That’s not surprising, considering industry historically has viewed safety practices as punitive actions or compliance activities rather than as opportunities to deliver value or gain a competitive edge. It’s also becoming easier to understand why safety should be considered a sustainable business imperative, much like product quality, because a single significant failure can dramatically change customer and investor perceptions of your brand. Increasingly, company stakeholders are realizing that automation technology, including machine safety equipment, can deliver positive, businessenhancing benefits for EH&S programs while mitigating risks and reducing costs. EH&S professionals often initiate hazard assessments to look for potential points of exposure beyond the administrative controls. For best results, EH&S staff should partner with others in the organization or with third-party machine safety specialists to implement solutions that best address the identified hazards. In many cases, the application of automation technologies improves organizational behavior and serves as a bridge to other practices to help boost productivity; increase efficiency; and improve overall safety, sustainability, and business performance. This includes financial returns, such as from improved manufacturing output, energy savings, and reduced waste, beyond the benefits of reducing costs associated with accidents, medical expenses, and regulatory non-compliance. Though safety standards have continued to change throughout manufacturing history, the most recent wave of revisions improves the way machine safety systems will be designed. These are commonly referred to as “functional safety standards.” A key difference in these global standards is they add a time element to the “performance level” rating of safety devices. Known as the Probability of Dangerous Failure, this time element adds a confidence factor that the safety device will perform well into the future.

applications, witnessing strong demand from the food & beverage sector, owing to mandatory health and safety requirements. An industry focus on economical manufacturing methods, lower installation and maintenance costs are also contributing to growth.
ELGi’s class leading four year Airend warranty and a strong service network. The added models will ensure that ELGi is able to service all oil -free air needs in the USA market. Anvar Jay Varadaraj, Global Head - Marketing & Corporate Communications said, “All of us at ELGi are extremely thrilled by the response we received at the launch of our oil-free compressors at the Compressed Air Best Practices Conference. Though small relative to the lubricated screw compressor segment, oil free compressors are growing in prominence owing to environmental and clean air considerations. In traditional oil flooded compressors, oil plays the roles of lubri-
cant, sealant, and coolant. As a result, the discharged air has trace amounts of oil, which would be unacceptable to sensitive industries such as food and beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Oil- Free compressors produce oil free air, by having no oil in the compression chamber. We are constantly striving to achieve higher levels of sophistication for all our products, and are gratified by the feedback from vendors and partners at this conference.” The global market demand for oil free air compressors is US$4 billion in 2017 with an estimated growth rate of 3 - 4% by 2024.These compressors are being used across a variety of manufacturing

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
OCTOBER 2018 | www.engrreview.com
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 providing 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.”

a long life and maintenance free UPS solution for outdoor environment to power the CCTV cameras which are spread over length and breadth of Andhra Pradesh. From our experience we know that VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries are highly susceptible to high temperature and have a very low useful life in outdoor environments. The in-house R&D team at Consul Neowatt evaluated and selected a Lithium ion battery technology which can withstand higher ambient temperatures and has 5 times more cyclic life than VRLA batteries. We
then developed and deployed a smart, safe and reliable UPS solution with the Lithium-ion battery for this critical application. This is yet another example of Smart Power Solutions that we have developed and deployed in India. We have repeatedly shown the ability to be at the forefront of the next technological wave and lead it right here in India”. The decision to go with Lithiumion batteries instead of the conventional Lead acid batteries was taken keeping

HARTING focusing on the wind power industry as target market Wind energy has become one of the world’s most important renewable energies over the past few decades. Ever rising acceptance and unparalleled technological developments have positioned wind energy as a genuine economic alternative to fossil fuels. Consequently, HARTING will once again be on location at the WindEnergy Hamburg event (September 25-28, 2018), where the technology group will be showcasing its latest products and solutions. Increasing digitisation, in combination with ever larger turbines, is confronting the wind power industry with steadily increasing data volumes. Consequently, the trouble-free and fast transmission of this data is
absolutely essential for many wind farm operators. In order to meet this trend, this year HARTING is focusing on the new fibre optic rotary transmitter with bidirectional data transmission. The transmitter meets the requirements for even faster exchange of large data packets between the nacelle and the rotating hub. The wear-free and maintenance-free system offers end-to-end optical fibre-optic networking of the entire
system –from the tower base over the nacelle to the hub. To support this system, HARTING developed the MICA® (Modular Industry Computing Architecture). MICA makes it possible to store, evaluate and process data directly in the application environment and can be configured with individual hardware, freely available software and suitable interfaces – in a manner that entirely meets customers’ individual requirements. In addition, HARTING will showcase its product innovations in its broad portfolio of connectors with high-performance plastic and corrosion-resistant aluminium housings. These include innovations within
the Han-Eco® series. Introducing the new Han-Eco® B, HARTING has developed a plastic connector that is fully compatible with the industry standard Han® B while at the same time combines all the advantages of a plastic connector. The Han-Eco® Snap rounds out this continuous expansion of the portfolio. The Snap was designed for indoor applications and, with its separately detachable upper housing part, not only facilitates installation, but also enables potential measurement in an installed state. In addition to all standard inserts, the Han-Eco® series can also use modules in conjunction with the articulated frame from the Han-Modular® range

nsd tupH surface treatment can be an alternative to stainless steel To meet the demands posed by special environmental conditions and high hygiene requirements, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS developed the nsd tupH (Sealed Surface Conversion System) anti-corrosion treatment: an innovative surface treatment making aluminium drives extremely robust and durable. The nsd tupH surface treatment offered by NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is an outstanding anti-corrosion treatment for gear units, smooth motors, frequency inverters and motor starters in washdown-optimised cast aluminium housings. Applying a special method, the surface is made corrosion-resistant and harder; in this way, aluminium behaves like stainless steel with regard to OCTOBER 2018 | www.engrreview.com
The innovative nsd tupH surface treatment by NORD DRIVESYSTEMS makes aluminium as corrosion resistant as stainless steel
corrosion protection. This is not a coating, but the surface treatment creates a protective layer which is permanently bonded to the substrate material. In contrast to painting or coating, nothing can detach or flake off. Damages remain locally restricted and do not propagate. The surface is easy to clean and largely resistant to acids and alkalis. It is even possible to use high pressure cleaners or a great variety of aggressive media. nsd tupH drive units are a
robust and durable alternative to painted geared motors or stainless steel versions. In contrast to stainless steel drives offered by only a few manufacturers and in only few variants, the nsd tupH surface treatment is available for almost all NORD aluminium products. NORD drives with nsd tupH comply with FDA Title 21 CFR 175.300 and for this reason are suitable for food application. They have been successfully tested according to ASTM
D714 (blistering, ASTM D610-08 (corrosion), ASTM D1654-08 according to DIN EN ISO 2409 (scratching), ASTM B117-09 according to DIN EN ISO 9227 (salt spray test) and ASTM D3170 (Gravelometer). In addition, their resistance to common cleaning agents which are used in the food industry has been confirmed in tests. The nsd tupH surface treatment is advantageous for all drives used under extreme environmental conditions and for hygienically critical applications. This also includes the beverage and food industry, water treatment and sewage plants as well as offshore and onshore applications. For more information www.nord.com

ROSS Controls : The Innovation leader in Fluid Power Safety Q. Can you briefly introduce ROSS Controls and its global presence? ROSS Controls, with its headquarters in the United states, is a global manufacturer of Pneumatic and Hydraulic Safety valves & System solutions having its manufacturing facilities & sales offices in US, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, France, China, Brazil & India. ROSS commenced its operations in India during Y2001 at Chennai with its field sales team spread around all the regions in the country.
Q. How ROSS is differentiated in Fluid Power segment as compared to your competition? While we do have the back-pocket products to earn the position of “first look” for all fluid power components in targeted markets, we follow the focused differentiation strategy to emerge as the preferred and / or single source provider of unique system solutions through our front-pocket products for machinery and industrial safety which ultimately help the customers to increase the plant productivity.
Q. Why Industrial Safety is not accorded a priority in India? Safety is a term related with culture - be it personal, social or industrial. It is a watchword and way of life in most parts of the world except Asian and African countries. People in the western world are so concerned about their personal safety that, it’s quite easy for them to incorporate safety measures into their work places. However, majority of the communities and the population in the rest of the world including India are ready to risk their lives and often not bothered about their personal safety. Perhaps the basic limiting factor may be the cost associated OCTOBER 2018 | www.engrreview.com
Mr. Pradeep Roy, Managing Director, ROSS Controls India Pvt Ltd
with it and they don’t find a value for it while that’s not the reality! How can you expect adoption of safety measures into the industries in such a scenario from these people who run the businesses?
Q. What is your assessment on the adoption and implementation of safety measures in industries across India? Perception about safety with most of the industrialists in India is that it’s an unnecessary wastage of money, time and efforts. A limited industrial community re-
stricts safety incorporation in their plants by employing only personal protective equipment (PPE) and some even goes to the extent of displaying certain safety slogans as envisaged in relevant plant safety standards like OSHAS. They appear to be enthusiastic to declare in various platforms that their plants are safety certified and safety is their top-notch priority. While their efforts are highly appreciated since it’s half way done, they should also realize that they need to adopt further few steps to justify their efforts in transforming their plants and machines to achieve the desired safety level.
COVER STORY 41
Q. Are there any industries/organizations in India who have implemented safety at optimum level? Of course; but mostly by certain American, European and Japanese MNCs. A limited population of other MNCs and Indian companies have also gone far ahead but limited to the extent of implementing electrical safety mostly due to their misperception that safety ends with wire! As long as your machines runs only on electrical input and does not use any other form of energy, it’s okay and acceptable. But what about the equipment or machines which use either pneumatic or hydraulic energy to derive the power? Unless you incorporate pneumatic or hydraulic safety devices, your equipment / machine as a system cannot be considered as safe and the partial efforts put in do not help in serving the purpose!
Q. What is the methodology organizations need to follow to determine the desired or optimum level of safety for their machines/equipment? The basic methodology is to perform the assessment of the risks of your equipment /system through competent people as per relevant International & National standards by which you will be able to identify the hazards. This will help you to design the appropriate safety measures (using validated components and principles) either to reduce or eliminate the associated risks. It is utmost essential to conduct the test and analysis of the performance of the new safety system both before and after the implementation.
Q. Do you think that such initiatives will happen from the industrial community in India? It needs deliberate efforts to cultivate the culture of safety in human minds. There are two ways through which you can make significant turnaround. First one is creating awareness on safety with all stake holders with which actions would still be voluntary but the second one viz., legislation to be enacted by Government of India in near future will make it
mandatory to drive the process.
Q: Do you think that creating awareness on safety is a challenging task?
Q. How innovative is ROSS in product offering to cop up with market trends and technological advancements?
It’s our endeavor to educate customers and users not only on achieving the desired safety level for their machines and employees based on risk assessment but also on the cost savings due to uptime (avoiding downtime) when they incorporate safety into the system. We can easily remove their false perception on initial or capital cost if we get an opportunity to convince them on the life cycle cost and the cost savings due to the productivity improvement. Unfortunately, some customers are still showing reluctance even to discuss on this topic which is the major challenge we are confronted with at this point of time.
ROSS mostly manufactures technology driven products and many of them are patented. We lead the fluid power safety segment on a global basis and have been consistently upgrading our products over the past few years for value creation. All of us are now in the era of Industry 4.0, Smart manufacturing and IoT – the technologies that are going to drive and revolutionize the Industrial segment. ROSS will be launching more compatible products in immediate future leveraging the expertise spread across our Global Engineering Centers located in India, Germany and USA managed by Mr. Jay Dalal, Sr. VP (Engg & Product Management) based out of our US Head Quarters.
Q. Whether Government of India is planning enforcement of machinery safety through any legislation?
Q. How do you see the business potential and growth of ROSS Controls in India?
As long as psychological barriers prevail as explained earlier, the only option to ensure work place or machinery safety is through a law or an act. US, European Union and Brazil have already implemented safety legislation and relevant directives way back and they follow either International or National standards like ISO, IEC, ANSI, CEN etc. Of late, Bureau of Indian Standards(BIS) realized the necessity of releasing relevant standards and formed the Manufacturing Machinery and their Safety Sectional Committee-MED 40 during Y2017. Ross India was nominated as the only vendor representative in this committee based on our expertise in the pneumatic safety area. We are hopeful of getting these standards released by early next year. However, release of standards by BIS alone does not guarantee its implementation unless supported by a legislation. Since the laws prevailing in India are not that much effective, Government of India is coming up with a legislation amendment where in adoption of relevant BIS standards is expected to be referenced.

Q. How do you define High-tech Manufacturing?
Q. What are your capabilities and facilities for high-tech manufacturing?
I’m glad the question came up. Whenever a topic of High-tech manufacturing kicks in, our imagination intuitively glides to a place with sophisticated machines performing multiple operations and producing quintessential components. However, one should not forget the prominence of activities associated with the entire manufacturing process. Advances are happening in all levels of product development whether it be designing, setting up the processes, managing the raw materials or even packaging of the final product. High-tech manufacturing can thus only be achieved by accommodating all these aspects to harvest the final product. Only a synergy of these advances will provide the maximum efficiency and produce an immaculate product and only then the process can be titled as High-tech manufacturing. Achieving this synergy becomes a prime objective in industries such as ours where complex geometry, close tolerances, stringent specifications, and the usage of exotic raw material becomes a common occurrence.
Walchandnagar, today, have three manufacturing facilities which are located in Walchandnagar (135 km from Pune), Satara, and Dharwad (Near Hubli, Karnataka). The Walchandnagar plant carries out production activities for Defense, Aerospace, Nuclear, Missile, Gear, Cement, Sugar and Energy, and Centrifugal businesses. We have our Foundry business running in Satara and Instrumentation division in Dharwad. As Walchandnagar is associated with the manufacturing of different types of products and equipments, our facility has been fortified with machines of not only different sorts but also sizes. CNC multi-axis boring machines, milling machines, Gear cutting and grinding, Plate bending machines, Lathes are some of the machines available in different sizes in our plants. We respect the quality requirements and uniqueness of different businesses and thus have ensured that the machines are allocated to different divisions to provide superlative

Could you describe the journey of Messung Systems since its inception? What have been the major milestones achieved over the years?
Mr. Farook Merchant Chairman & Managing Director Messung Systems
It’s been a long and interesting journey that began with the establishment of Messung Systems in 1981. After my education, it was very clear that I would establish my own business vertical rather than be a cog in another organisation. I utilised the money I earned during my first job to invest in some components. This, along with time and effort, allowed me to develop India’s first Programming Logic Controller (PLC). Over time, Messung has emerged as a pioneer in industrial automation, providing solutions to various sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, plastic, textiles, infrastructure, water and waste water management and printing and packaging. Messung Systems became
renowned for its innovative products and problem-solving solutions across industries. Over three decades, the company grew across India with over 400 employees, 65 distributors, 11 network offices, two manufacturing plants and couple of global partnerships. By 2012, Messung Systems had established a good market share in the factory automation sector in India. At that time, Mitsubishi Electric was looking to establish their India presence and took over our factory automation business. It was then time to look at newer business opportunities. Over the last six years, Messung Systems has established six businesses in three different business sectors. Under the automation and control division we have: a) Industrial automation with our NX-ERA line of PLCs, b) Building automation with Distech Controls and c) Home, office and hotel automation on the KNX protocol with Zennio. Under the electrical engineering division, we have power distribution systems with Wöhner GmbH. Under the workplace technology division we have: a) Workplace ergonomics with Wersksitz GmbH and b) Test and measuring equipment with Erfi GmbH. Messung also operates a couple of NGOs such as Nityaasha that works towards juvenile diabetes and epilepsy and Gyanadab, a centre dedicated to bring masses together through literature and art.

OCTOBER 2018 | www.engrreview.com
As a globally operating, family-owned company, we have been developing manufacturing systems and machine tools for more than 90 years. The success story of GROB-WERKE began way back in 1926 when the company was founded by Ernst Grob, who was producing folding boats, weaving machines and stationary combustion engines at that time. In 1952, Burkhart Grob, the son of the founder, assumed responsibility for the company almost completely destroyed during the war and was able to forge the link to the emerging automotive industry with high-quality and technologically-convincing production machines. In 1968, the Mindelheim plant was built and the company’s headquarters was relocated from Munich to Mindelheim due to expansion requirements and future growth vision. The Munich site was closed. Besides the parent plant in Mindelheim, the plants in Bluffton (USA), São Paulo (Brazil), Dalian (People’s Republic of China) and

Rollon Linear Bearings for CNC: How to cut some cost out and improve the machine’s reliability Doors and auxiliary axes on machine tools need different linear motion components than spindles.
On CNC machines, not all motion axes are created equal. While spindle motions are all about accuracy and precision, doors and other auxiliary axes require a linear motion solution that’s easy to install and reliable.
T
he makers of CNC machine tools are not known for skimping on their motion control components, especially those related to spindle movements. Yet not every motion on a CNC machine is mission critical. In fact, most machines have one or more axes that, unlike the spindle, do not require high degrees of accuracy and precision. These axes can include doors and other auxiliary systems not associated with cutting. By picking an appropriate motion solution for these auxiliary axes, machine builders can not only take some cost out of a CNC machine but also improve that machine’s reliability in the field. Doors, in particular, are an axis that are often designed with less-

than-ideal motion components. From an accuracy standpoint, door motion may seem like an open and shut case, but they do present some challenging design issues of their own. They tend to be large sheet-metal structures that are subject to deflection and alignment problems. They also have to work reliably in a contamination-prone environment filled with metal chips and cutting
fluids. These size and contamination issues can be especially hard on linear bearings. Engineers who work in machine tools will sometimes reflexively specify recirculating ball linear bearings, in part because of familiarity. Yet this style of bearing is not the best choice when it comes to creating a dependable, cost-effective door. Rollon has developed an alternative bearing solution for doors and related auxiliary applications. It’s based on Compact Rail bearings, which are both self-aligning and resistant to contamination.

ficult process that takes place during the machine building phase. Machine builders must first machine mounting surfaces to near perfect flatness. Then they’ll install bearings using fixtures to ensure that rails are aligned horizontally and vertically. Both of those steps can add significant time and cost to the machine. And in the case of machine tool doors, both of those steps may be both ineffective and unnecessary. They’re ineffective because the doors tend to be large sheet metal structures that will deflect in use, undoing even the most careful installation techniques. And they’re unnecessary because self-aligning bearings can accommodate deflection without the need for the expensive machining or fussy installation procedures. Rollon’s Compact Rail system gets its self-alignment capability from the way that its large roller bearings interact with a set of rail profiles. The profiles are designed to allow the rollers an extra degree of freedom or two to offset misalignment between rails. In the case of machine tool doors, an emerging solution combines Compact Rail’s U and K rail profile to support the slider (See Figure 1). The U-style rail has a flat raceway that allows a roller freedom translate in an out relative to the axial direction of the rail. The K-style rail has a geometry that allows for limited angular rotation of the roller, while still offering precise linear guidance. Together, these rails can absorb significant alignment errors in two axes: Parallelism on the horizontal plane and height differences between rails in the vertical plane. How significant? It depends on the distance between rails. For example,
OCTOBER 2018 | www.engrreview.com
Rollon’s Compact Rail bearings are both self-aligning and resistant to contamination.
at a two-meter span between rails, the system can absorb parallelism errors up to 4 mm in the horizontal plane and differences in rail height of +/- 50 mm. (See Table 1 for self-alignment capabilities at other rail distances). With the Compact Rail system, the source of the alignment errors is not important. Whether the errors are caused by the machine structure, installation or deflection in the field, the Compact Rail will adjust and do so without affecting the wear characteristics or lifespan of the bearing.
Low Closing Force Compact Rails additionally make the doors easy to open and close–and not just because design tolerates misalignment without impeding motion. Compact Rails also contribute to the smooth door motion because they have a low coefficient of friction (COF). The typical COF for a Compact Rail ranges from 0.003 and 0.006, depending on size.
matters worse, metal chips are among the most damaging contaminants in the industrial world. Rollon’s Compact Rail keeps contamination at bay in a few ways. It has small features, like seals and wipers, that minimize contaminants on the rails. Installation tricks, such as installing rails upside down, can further reduce contamination levels. Mostly, though, Compact Rail’s contamination resistance rests on its overall design. Its small ball bearings are permanently sealed within larger rollers. And the rollers have a large size relative to typical contaminants. They can roll over many chips that would stop a recirculating ball bearing in its tracks.
Contamination Resistant Another important linear bearing attribute important in doors and other machine tool auxiliary axes is contamination resistance. Recirculating ball linear bearings, which have little clearance between balls and raceways, have historically been susceptible to contamination-related failures and require elaborate protective measures.

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 OCTOBER 2018 | www.engrreview.com
Figure 1: Classic HEIDENHAIN rotary encoder for motor feedback 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.
Step 1: Highly dynamic motor control 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 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 2: Secondary encoders for highly accurate position measurement 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

Table 1: Comparison of the most important specifications for typical secondary encoders
Figure 2: Improvement of the absolute position accuracy through the use of so-called secondary encoders on every axis mounted after each gear train, capture the actual position of every robot joint. This allows the encoders to account for 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 rota-

ry 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 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.

Fast and reliable data exchange with new CAN bus cable from igus New chainflex cable for CAN systems with PVC or PUR outer jacket, approved for Indian market
B
us systems are increasingly being used in automation, as they ensure fast and reliable data exchange, save space and therefore money. To meet these needs, igus has developed a new CAN bus cable for highly dynamic energy chain applications, such as in machine tools. This is available with either highly abrasion-resistant PVC or oil-resistant PUR outer jackets. Both cable options have EAC and CTP approvals, simplifying trade with Indian market. Demand for Controller Area Network (CAN) systems continues to grow in a bid to standardise data exchange. These ensure seamless networking of electronic systems with each other, such as control units or intelligent sensors. This enables complex systems to be implemented economically, and cross-system diagnostics can be carried out simultaneously across several ECUs. The new CAN bus cable from igus guarantees a high transmission reliability of the data, even with very high stress on the cable during motion, such as when used in an energy chain. The new cost-effective bus cable is available in two outer jacket options - CFBUS.PVC.020 with highly abrasion-resistant PVC or CFBUS.PUR.020 with highly oil-resistant PUR. As with igus cables, the new CAN bus cables were also tested in the in-house test laboratory, spread over 2,750 square metres. This makes igus the only manufacturer on the market to offer a 36-month guarantee on its entire cable range. The new cables are used in processing machines and machine tools, as well as in low-temperature applications. To facilitate trade with Russia or EAEU member states both cables have CTP and EAC approval.

chainflex cables with approvals are reliable and save money With more than 1,300 types, igus offers the widest range of energy chain cables with the world’s most extensive selection with international approvals, including cables with EAC and CTP approval. The EAC certificate is the official proof that the imported machines or components for production equipment comply with the harmonised technical regulations (TR ZU) of the participating countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The CTP standard focuses on the fire behaviour of cables and the flame retardancy of the materials used. The two approvals are intended to simplify business relations. Thanks to the EAC and CTP approvals, companies exporting to Russia or EAEU member states can get their machines and equipment through customs more quickly and start commissioning at the end-cus-
tomer immediately after re-assembly. Having both EAC and CTP approval, the comprehensive inspection of all regulatory requirements for all components of a production machine is carried out quickly and smoothly. By using certified chainflex cables, companies can save time and money at customs. An additional advantage of both certifications is that new and used machinery and equipment can be moved and sold across the borders within all member states of the Customs Union. Further national certificates of conformity, through GOST-R, TR or GOST-K, are no longer required with EAC and CTP approvals.

Machining centre 4.0 with innovative safety solution Mandelli Sistemi employs a 5-axis machining centre to process hard titanium alloys for the aerospace industry. The company uses a safe solenoid interlock with Bowden cable from Schmersal to automate and secure the closing process on the large sliding doors fitted to the titanium machine. dynamic, allowing for high acceleration in the complex machining phase for both the workpiece geometries and the material composition (titanium, HRSA heat-resistant super alloys).

O
ver its 80-year history, Mandelli Sistemi S.p.A. has continuously focused on innovation and custom-made solutions. Based in the northern Italian town of Piacenza, this medium-sized enterprise, now a part of the Riello Sistemi Group, has become one of the leading Italian companies for the manufacturer of machine tools. Over the past decade, Mandelli has turned its focus to industries such as aerospace and energy, where difficult-to-machine materials combined with complex geometries require demanding turning and milling operations. At the turn of the millennium, Mandelli Sistemi completed the development of a new series of five-axis machining centres, the SPARK series — fast, high-performance machining centres with compact dimensions and outstanding productivity. In 2015, Mandelli Sistemi added a new version to the SPARK series in the form of the Spark

Ti (for titanium), a five-axis horizontal machining centre, with a fixed machine bench capable of very precise machining, in spite of high material volumes. The machine is able to process very hard titanium, steel and HRSA alloys that are typically used in the aerospace industry. At the heart of the Spark Ti is a continuously controlled high-torque swivel head equipped with an automatic mechanical backlash recovery system, plus a dual-drive rotary axis with 12,000 Nm of power and a vibration damping system on every machine axis. In addition, all turning tables are highly
The new generation of machining centres from Mandelli Sistemi is already compatible with Industry 4.0 concepts, with all machines incorporating a complex system of anti-vibration, noise and vibration sensors to be able to detect critical conditions early on and adapt machine parameters when required. This helps to avoid machine downtime and minimise production waste. Mandelli Sistemi has also developed the new iPum@Suite 4.0 software package for the ‘factory of the future’. This software guarantees that networked machines can be fully monitored by a remote setup through a series of sensors and an intelligent vibration monitoring system — an intelligent diagnostics system in which the operating data from the machining centre is transferred to a cloud database where statistical calculations are carried out to identify faults before a malfunction occurs. ‘For our high-performance Spark Ti, with its considerable size, we need to have a robust safety system in place. If a machine operator accidentally finds himself trapped inside the accessible part of the machine, the safety solution needs to allow the operator to leave the area as quickly as possible and needs to block the system at the same time,’ explains Ing. Giuseppe Galbiati, Project Manager at Mandelli Sistemi. The safety
102 TECH TRENDS
system requirements for the Spark Ti were mapped out at a meeting of the engineering department of Mandelli Sistemi and safety machinery experts from Schmersal, a leading international provider of machine safety products. A safety locking system that satisfies all of these requirements is the AZM400 secure bolt retention system from Schmersal, in conjunction with Bowden cable release. Mandelli Sistemi has been impressed by the extraordinarily high locking force of the AZM400 when used on the heavy protective doors on its Spark Ti, but, when used in conjunction with the Bowden cable, the AZM400 also offers high protective performance, a feature that is particularly valuable in the event that an operator becomes trapped in the machining centre accidentally, such as when carrying out maintenance work. Within the hazard area, the Bowden cable can, therefore, be used as an emergency release, with the operator merely having to pull on the pull rope. When used outside of the hazard area, the device can be used as an emergency unlock. The pull rope has a standard overall length of 6 m and a sheath length of 4 m, thereby allowing for protection of large systems as well.
Solenoid interlock especially for large machining centres Schmersal launched the AZM400 solenoid interlock in 2015. The system comprises the locking unit with sensor system, a motor-driven locking pin and the actuator. The actuator contains an encoded RFID tag and a locking opening into which the locking pin is inserted. As soon as the locking pin has reached a sufficient insertion depth into the locking opening in the actuator, the safety device can be considered safely locked. In developing the AZM400, Schmersal
OCTOBER 2018 | www.engrreview.com
kept the special requirements of large machining centres in sharp focus, particularly the fact that most machining centres require very high locking forces capable of locking heavy protective doors, many of which have motorised actuators. The AZM400 safety locking system has a locking force of 10,000 N, which is an exceptional feature amongst solenoid interlocks. The AZM400 achieves safety level PL e and Cat. 4 in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL3 in accordance with DIN EN 61508 for both the interlock and locking functions. The high safety level of the locking function is achieved by features including a two-channel unlocking signal, which ensures that should, for example, a cross-fault occur, the system remains locked to prevent unauthorised access to the hazard area.
High level of safety and maximum plant availability The AZM400 ensures not only a high level of safety but also seamless process execution for maximum plant availabil-
ity. For example: protective doors often have dampening at their limit stops such that, when they are closed, they spring back a little. As a consequence, the locking pin does not sit fully in the centre of the locking opening in the actuator and must overcome cross forces. If it is unable to overcome the cross forces, the protective door is not opened and the production process is delayed. The solenoid interlock AZM400 offers the advantage of unlocking against a cross force of up to 300 N. In addition, the electronic system combined with the sensor system offers numerous additional functions, including error state identification: if the locking pin fails to reach a ‘locked’ status on the first attempt, it attempts to lock again automatically. Only if this second attempt fails will the AZM400 report a fault. This helps to reduce the number of fault notifications and at the same time, protects the device from damage. ‘Protective doors must always reliably lock and unlock. At the same time, the safety technology must help to maximise plant availability. The AZM400 is, therefore, the optimal solution,’ explains Maicol Garavaldi, Safety Machinery Expert at Schmersal Italia.

Welding & The Automobile Sector By Aniruddha R. Vilekar, Head-Marketing, Ador Welding Ltd.
T
he Automotive Industry is one of the largest in India and accounts for 7.1 per cent of the Indian GDP. At around USD 93 billion. It amounts to approx. 30% of the turnover of the manufacturing sector and is a very important component of India’s
growth story. India manufactured more than 25 million automobiles in FY17 and is a prominent auto exporter with strong export growth expectations for the near future. Around Rs.47,000 crores have been pumped into the auto industry in the last one year alone and that is nearly a third of the current Indian automotive market. Car makers, both domestic and foreign, have lined up investments to a tune of almost $10 billion or nearly Rs. 60,000 crores over the next few years. Several initiatives by the Government of India and the major automobile players in the Indian market are expected to make India a leader in the two and four-wheeler market in the world by 2020. The Government plans to promote eco-friendly cars in the country i.e. CNG based vehicle, hybrid vehicle, and electric vehicle and made mandatory of 5 per cent ethanol blending in petrol.
Welding Automation, Plasma and Gas CNC based cutting systems encompassing most of these processes:
Auto-Exhaust Applications The use of stainless steels in automobiles started when automobiles came to be equipped with 3-way catalytic converters to meet intensifying regulations over exhaust gas emissions. The requirement to have longer service life accelerated the switchover from hot dip aluminized carbon steel to stainless steel in this application. Today, stainless steel is used in almost all exhaust system parts from the cylinder head gasket to the tail pipe. The consumption of stainless steel in the exhaust system per passenger car varies from model to model but averages about 15kg per car. The stainless-steel consumption is expected to increase in the exhaust system of diesel-powered automobiles, mainly trucks, to meet the growing social demand for stricter exhaust gas emission regulations.

Reductions in the workforce over the last several years have left the industry with fewer employees to monitor welding operations and the overall shortage of skilled welders has compounded the challenge. Whereas 10 years ago a large automotive supplier may have had one welding technician for 20 robots, today that ratio has increased to as few as one welding technician for every 50 robots – or more. The most commonly used welding methods for automotive applications are resistance spot welding, resistance seam welding, metal inert gas (GMAW) welding, tungsten inert gas (GTAW) welding as also laser beam welding (LBW), friction welding (FW), and plasma arc welding (PAW). Ador Welding Offers a plethora of solutions through a wide range of Welding consumables, Welding equipment,
Stabilized ferritic stainless steels represent the best cost / benefit solution for exhaust system components: it gives designers optimal combinations that work both in elevated temperatures and complex corrosive environments. The exhaust system components are manifold, close coupled and underbody catalytic converters, flexible bellow, muffler, resonator, connecting pipes, flanges, and tailpipe. The part of the exhaust system containing the manifold, converter and the flex joint is named as hot end since this part of the system is relatively hot due to the hot exhaust gas passing through these components. The part consists of intermediate pipe, resonator and the muffler is named as cold end since the gas tends to cool down from the exit of the flex tube. The temperature of the hot end of the gasoline operated vehicle can be as high

as 1050°C while the highest temperature of the cold end is about 650°C. There are benefits of Nb regarding oxidation resistance at high temperatures. It has been demonstrated that Nb containing ferritic grades have better high temperature performance when compared to Ti single-stabilized or austenitic grades. This is because Nb forms a thin, homogeneous and adherent oxide layer in the surface of the steel, avoiding spalling and re-oxidation of the material during the exhaust system thermal cycling (the typical on/off operation of the car’s engine). It also results in lower
loss of material which can be translated into higher life cycles of the component, meaning a longer life, reduced frequency of replacement and long term cost savings. Study on metal loss of different stainless steels at 950°C shows that with increase in Nb content, higher temperature oxidation resistance improves as Nb forms less porous and more adherent oxides which results in less spalling and less re-oxidation.

NANO 3 PHASE CT With the advent of smart technologies, digital metering has gained popularity in the field of measurement & control. It becomes unnecessary to use large current inputs for digital meters and in order to reduce size and cost, CTs with compact size and low output current ratings in the range of milliamperes (mA) are manufactured. These are called nano CTs due to their compact appearance and mA output, making them most suitable for modular panel applications. Current transformers: According to IEC 61869-2, A current transformer is in which the secondary current, under normal conditions of use, is substantially proportional to primary current and differs in phase from it by an angle which is approximately zero for an appropriate direction of the connections.
other transformer, must satisfy the amp-turn equation and as we know this turns ratio is equal to:
Hence, secondary current (Is) is:
Generally the current transformers used have rated secondary of 5A or 1A. But due to the implementation of ‘Smart Systems’ like PLCs, Modular Control Panels, Branch Circuit Monitoring, Remote Terminal Units Power Distribution Units and control systems the requirement of special types of CTs becomes apparent.
Working principle:
Some of them are follows:
Current transformers reduce high magnitude currents to a much lower value and provide a convenient way of safely monitoring the actual electrical current flowing in an AC circuit which is carrying high current with the help of an ammeter.
• • • •
Fig.1.Construction & working of CT The principle of operation of a basic current transformer is slightly different from that of an ordinary voltage transformer. It consists of only one or very few turns as its primary winding. The primary winding can be of either a single flat turn, a coil of heavy duty wire wrapped around the core or just a conductor or bus bar placed through a central hole as shown. Due to this type of arrangement it is to be connected in series with the conductor carrying load.
A current transformer, like any
OCTOBER 2018 | www.engrreview.com
For example, the current rating of the primary winding is 125A. The secondary winding has the standard rating of 5A. Then the ratio between the primary and the secondary currents is 125A to 5A, or 25:1. In other words, the primary current is 25 times greater than the secondary current. Current transformers are used extensively for measuring current and monitoring the operation of the power grid & these monitoring circuits are generally rated for low input currents. Hence the secondary of a CT has a rated current of 1A or 5A. Often, multiple CTs are installed for various uses. For example, protection devices and revenue metering may use separate CTs to provide necessary current inputs to the respective systems. For isolation between metering and protection circuits current transformers with different characteristics (accuracy, overload performance) can be used.
Special Purpose Current Transformers:
Compact Split core CTs CT with integrated Transducer Multi-ratio unipolar transformer Three phase Nano CTs
The scope of this document will be only for 3 phase Nano CT.

tures at a glance:
The new innovative Nano 3-phase CT offers significant advantages to professionals during the power analysis and meter implementation and installation phase in electrical panels, mitigating the aforementioned complications. It is a set of three compact current transformers for 63A, 125A & 250A panels. Being a very reliable, efficient and low power consuming device with a burden of 0.1VA and secondary output of 250mA, it can be used with contactors, measuring and control devices in modular control panels. In control systems where accuracy is crucial, Nano CT can prove to be efficient as well as accurate with an accuracy class of 0.5 according to international standards IEC 61869-1 & 1EC 61869-2. Its secondary output is a 4 core cable with a diameter of 6mm; 550mm long for 63A & 125A and 1550mm for 250A current output. These lengths mentioned do not affect the accuracy of the CT. As well as leads to easy and safe electrical connections. It is encapsulated in an IP20 covering which makes it safe for the wire-man, while making electrical connections. In order to sustain high temperatures when mounted in a panel which is situated in oppressive hot areas, thermal class B insulation is used. UL 94 V-0 approved Flame retardant, Self-extinguishing and Non-drip Polycarbonate material casing is used to safeguard in-case of fire hazards .
These include switching & protection devices like thermal overload relays, circuit breakers and motor starters and meters for current & voltage monitoring. For 3 phase higher horse power motors, meters used are fed through CTs. Nano CT can be used for the measuring & indication in MCC.

Click & Ready! The word plug comes from to plug in. That’s how easy it usually is to transfer data or power with household appliances or smartphones. Plug in and ready to go. In industry, however, the requirements are much higher and interfaces must be locked in order to ensure proper protection. To be able to connect data, signals and power more quickly and without tools in the future, HARTING is expanding its portfolio of PushPull plugs. Secure connections in a single hand movement.

nterfaces in industrial applications are subject to higher demands. On the one hand, there are external factors such as moisture, dust, noxious gases or vibrations, which can impair or interfere with a connection. On the other hand, it is important to consider handling and ease-of-use by operating personnel. The protection of a connection has the highest priority in order to prevent the worst case scenario of system failure or destruction. Nevertheless, plug operation must be easy and user-friendly. Over the years, different companies have developed such a diverse array of plug types and ensured their continued presence on the market. Plugs are usually sealed and made resistant against dirt or unintentional loosening through vibration by means of a lock. This can be achieved using threaded connections, e.g. by screwing the connector itself, by levers, clips or many other systems. However, this approach often requires tools for assembly, as well as trained installation personnel to estimate the correct fit of the plug. Since the installation of systems and devices often takes places under far from ideal conditions, i.e. with suitable tools and trained personnel, it was necessary to re-design the interface itself. The PushPull system has been a successful part of HARTING’s range for some time now. Types 4, 14 and Power L are classic rectangular connectors, which originate from the automotive industry and industrial device cabling. Factors such as durability and fast, but at the same time safe, installation remain in the forefront. Here, the saying “time is money” still applies. PushPull connectors enable all kinds of plug profiles to be securely connected in no time at all. An audible click informs the installer that the connection is now waterproof and closed. No tools, no torques, no special training for personnel. Various types of plug profile can be accommodated in the universal “con-

tainers” of the housing for types 4 and 14. Depending on the application, these can be RJ45, optical fibres in plastic or glass or even USB for the transmission of data. If signals are to be bundled and forwarded, users can choose between 10 and 20-pole plug profiles. However the power supply can be safeguarded using the tool-less interface up to 690 V at 16 A. Together, this provides device manufacturers with all necessary solutions from a single source as part of a uniform and standardized system. The newest member of the PushPull family came about due to the desires and requirements of the market. The type 4 Mini DisplayPort interface serves the increased use of HMIs in the form of screens and keypads, which are fed video signals. In order to avoid additional conversion of video signals into Ethernet, the DisplayPort interface supports direct forwarding of video signals. Of course, in addition to all the rectangular elements of the PushPull system, it is important not to forget circular plug types.
Rectangular and circular plugs The M12 is the most common representative in the field of metric circular plugs. It is a classic signal plug with a threaded connection for sensors and actuators. In recent years, this interface has increasingly become the go-to connector for D and X coding for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications. However, they all feature threaded locking systems, which must be checked with a special torque wrench to ensure the specified IP 65/67 protection class. Obviously assembly takes a longer due to screwing and checking, and the packing density of interfaces on switches is rather limited as a certain amount of space for the tool is always required. Due to the increasing number of use cases for the M12, HARTING has already been offering it with the PushPull mechanism for a long time and
deployed it initially within the railway market. The requirements in the rail sector are among the highest available. If an interface can overcome demands here, it can be used in other application areas without raising concerns. Since feedback from railway manufacturers has been consistently positive and in general the trend in all industrial business sectors is towards increased modularity, HARTING has decided to supplement the PushPull connectors of all series with new types and, in future, to use printed circuit board connections for circular plugs within the PushPull system. This will not inconvenience previous users, because the interfaces are back-compatible and can still be used with conventional M12 screw locks. This means the switch to PushPull can be made gradually. The other alternatives in the M12 range are adapters that convert a standard M12 screw socket to a PushPull socket.
Who benefits? PushPull’s time savings are particularly well received by users and represent an important purchasing criterion when selecting a device. PushPull can be positioned more compactly on housings, because users require less space for each individual interface when connecting without tools. This brings us to the main point and the actual target group: the user, in other words fitters, setters, service personnel or unskilled workers. The fact that tools are no longer required, together with the quick locking system, mean that, in the case of the M12 PushPull for example, assembly times can be reduced by as much as 70 % when compared to M12 screw types. Of course, this is most likely to become a decisive factor when connecting a large number of plugs, however the simplified operation also offers significantly more process reliability when employing unskilled personnel thanks to the system’s clear feedback and user-friendliness.

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

Instead of the handling knob, they now feature a pullring – a design which is always advantageous in confined spaces because the ring is simply dropped sideways. The pullring also allows the easy attachment of the GN 111.2 retaining cable which prevents the loss of the pin. The new pin is available both in steel design (GN 214.2) and in stainless

steel design (GN 214.3) if this special application is required for use in corrosive atmosphere or in areas with higher requirements in terms of hygiene. Both variants are available in pin diameters ranging from 6 to 16 millimetres. As with all Elesa+Ganter pins, the locking pawls can be
released by a red and readily identifiable polyamide pushbutton. The square shape of the locking pawls made of stainless sheet steel creates a linear contact area (instead of the point contact in balltype locking pins) which is capable of taking relatively high axial forces and so preventing the inadvertent loosening of the connection. The locking pawls will be unlocked only after manually operating the pushbutton, allowing the locking pawl to be pulled off. This principle is also used in Types GN 114.2 (steel with PA knob), GN 114.3 (stainless steel with PA knob) and GN 114.6 in all stainless steel design.

Balls roll four rows of raceways precisionground on a rail and a block, and endplates incorporated in the carriage allow the balls to circulate. Since retainer plates hold the balls, they do not fall o even if the rail is pulled out. This model is an integral type of linear guideway that squares an internal structure similar to other model, which has a proven track record and is highly reliable, with another and uses two rails in combination. It is machined with high precision. The two rails are also machined with high precision in relative straightness. As a result, extremely high accuracy in orthogonally is achieved. Since an orthogonal linear guideway system can be achieved with model MSH alone, a conventionally required saddle is no longer necessary, the structure for X-Y motion can be simplified and the whole system can be downsized.
contact angle at 45°,thus each train of balls can take up an equal rated load in all four directions. Moreover, a suffi¬cient preload can be achieved to increase rigidity, and this makes it suitable for any kind of installation.
High Rigidity Since balls are arranged in four rows in a well-balanced manner, this model is stiff against a moment, and smooth straight motion is ensured even a preload is applied to increase the rigidity. The rigidity of the blocks is 50% higher than that of a combination of two carriages secured together back-to-back with bolts. Thus, MSH is an optimal linear guideway for building an X-Y table that requires high rigidity.
Four-Way Equal Load
Applications
The four trains of balls are allocated to a circular
Swiss-type lathe and Biaxial operation of the machine.

Filter with Service Indicator Janatics recently added Air Filter with Service Indicator in its product range. In Pneumatics, the operating pressure is one of the major criterion for end performance. The reduced output pressure due to obstruct in the air flow could affect the end performance. Air filter is the product which removes the dust particles, water particles etc. from the compressed air. The filter element has to be changed / replaced periodically to ensure the air flow and the pressure is maintained in the system to achieve the end function. Air filter with service indicator indicates the condition of the filter element. If the filter element is clear then the air flow and the pressure is maintained at the desired level. Incase if the filter element is dirt and chocked, the air flow and the pressure is restricted thus resulting in low end performance. • Green color indicates the
filter element is clean. The air flow is smooth and the pressure drop is well within the limit. • Yellow color indicates the filter is chocked. The air flow is restricted and the pressure drop is beyond the limit. • Red color indicates the filter is dirty and chocked. The air flow is fully restricted and the pressure drop is above 1 bar. At this stage the end function would get affected because of high pressure drop. These color indications will alert the user about the conditions of the filter element as mentioned above for further necessary action (i.e. cleaning / replacement of the filter element). Air filter with service indicator is available in the following size. • Air filter with Gauge type - 1/2”, 3/4”, 1” • Air filter with Indicator type - 3/8”.

Metal Detectable silicone rubber A unique solution to multiple industries Traditional silicone sealing solution: Product quality is matter of bigger concern in pharmaceutical, food and drink industry. Major processing steps involve the dynamic movement of silicone rubber parts. Silicone is most preferred choice for sealing application in food and pharma industry. There was a risk in the pharmaceutical, food and drink industry of silicone rubber particles accidentally falling into the products during the production process, due to natural wear and tear. This kind of contamination can cause serious quality problems during the production and it may affect the reputation of company.
Scope of Metal detectable silicone rubber To assure the products contamination free, idea of Metal detectable silicone arose. As the name suggests, Metal detectable silicone rubber is unique solution to avoid contamination in production line. Metal detector devices can detect silicone-based products made
from this unique formulation. During mass production if device generates any signal of metal presence in product due to failure of seal or abrasion of gaskets, Line can be stopped immediately. Due to the safety and cost effective solution, Metal detector silicone rubber products are quickly become best solution for the pharmaceutical, food and drink industry.
FDA Approved Metal detectable silicone rubber: A challenge Designing formulation as per food and pharma regulatory compliances is really challenging task for rubber formulators. To maintain food properties along with metal detectable formula is matter of expertise, which is required to be placed for balancing both properties. Few Silicone products are used in food and pharma product contact applications with following required compliance: Above mentioned all the products can be traceable through X ray devices. Any small segment of rubber
contaminating with Drug product can be traced through devices and defected products can be separated due to this innovation. Market of Metal detectable silicone is growing and many industries are
waiting to taste fruits of this development. Polymer industries are developing multiple application of this formulations and we expect that conventional silicones will be soon replaced with metal detectable silicones.
