CEO CORNER Tapping into Technology Disruptive technologies are transforming every sector, and machine tools is no different. Drivers of technology adoption are also similar: meeting the user requirements and addressing prevalent challenges. Talking specifically about the machine tools segment, major players have now started evaluating the recent technology trends to keep up with the rapidly evolving needs of manufacturers in terms of high-end, sophisticated machines. While historically Indian machine tools industry has catered to the demands of the automotive sector, things have now started changing. Given the government’s vision to make India a manufacturing giant, the focus is also on other discreet segments, such as defence, railways, plastic machinery, medical electronics and white goods. To meet the dynamic requirements of these segments, machine tools industry is tapping into disruptive technology trends. One major trend that is in fact being called the next industrial revolution is IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Manufacturing equipment connected to a web-based network makes it possible to gather data and turn into actionable information to make better decisions about manufacturing processes, such as optimizing machine uptime, scheduling maintenance, etc. Another popular trend, which is still in early stage of development, is 3-D Printing. Some of the factors responsible for the huge shift from traditional manufacturing techniques to 3-D printing is the reduction in capital costs, raw material costs, and costs incurred during the reuse of scrap materials. As per estimates, 3D printing technology reduces material usage by nearly 30% to 70% as compared to traditional techniques. With a lot of R&D efforts dedicated towards 3-D printing, it is definitely a technology to watch out for in the future. Our special feature in this issue highlights these key trends.

Premium AEROTEC, EOS and Daimler partner for industrial 3D printing Metal 3D printing technology is gaining more and more traction in the industrial field. The aerostructures supplier Premium AEROTEC holds a leading position within its sector for this technology. To consolidate this position and to expand the company’s capabilities beyond aviation, Premium AEROTEC is starting a joint project with experienced partners EOS, the leading technology supplier for industrial 3D printing, and Daimler, the renowned automotive manufacturer. Together, they will develop the next generation of additive manufacturing (AM) in their NextGenAM project. Via this cooperation, the companies are laying the foundations for the implementation of this technology in large-scale serial manufacturing.
The objective of the project is to progress the automation of the entire industrial 3D printing process. For this, the NextGenAM project team will check the entire additive manufacturing process to see whether parts of it can be automated, from the delivery of metal powder to the processing stages after the build process itself. By this measure, the partners hope to gain significant cost advantages and important foundations in order to use this technology for largescale serial manufacturing in the future. The process stages before and after the actual manufacturing process constitute around 70 percent of the manufacturing costs. In addition to advanced system technology, the project also strives for a qualification of aluminium for
use in industrial 3D printing. Each of the three partners contributes its own particular skills and experience: Premium AEROTEC was the first manufacturer in the world to supply serial 3D-printed structural components for Airbus aircraft. Up to now, titanium powder has been used as material for this. EOS is the global technology and quality leader for high-end solutions in the area of industrial 3D printing. The economically efficient aluminium-based complete system which is to be
developed cooperatively over the course of NextGenAM shall be capable for automotive industry and – respectively adapted – for aerospace as well. This provides the opportunity to open up innovative 3D printing manufacturing technology for a wide range of applications.

Hydra heads towards cast iron Dormer Pramet has extended its Hydra range of replaceable carbide head drills by introducing a new option specifically for cast iron. The R970 head has been added to the existing Hydra program, which already includes types for steel (R950) and stainless steel (R960). All three heads are suitable for use on the existing range of High Speed Steel drill bodies. A key feature of the Dormer branded range is that it offers easy and quick head changes, without the need to remove the body from the machine, minimizing interruptions to the production process. Available in 3xD, 5xD and 8xD lengths, all Hydra drills
incorporate coolant holes to improve cutting efficiency and swarf evacuation. The exact fit between head and body maximizes tool rigidity for superior hole-accuracy and precise tolerances. Each head
type is made from micrograin carbide, providing an excellent combination of hardness and toughness. Its Titanium Aluminium Nitride based coating offers high resistance to oxidisation and wear,
promoting additional protection in abrasive materials like cast iron. A strong corner design increases stability during drilling and reduces the forces encountered when exiting the work-piece. This improves surface quality and prevents ‘exit burst’ which can occur when drilling granular materials. The 140° split point geometry in the Hydra range provides good centering capabilities and low thrust forces when drilling most materials, resulting in a more efficient operation that requires less machine power.

EOS partners with two leading universities in UK and Germany EOS recently announced a first of its kind 3D Printing trining course, collaborating with two leading universities in the UK and Germany. For this six month ‘Additive Manufacturing Application Engineer’ program, EOS will work directly with the University of Wolverhampton, a long standing partner of EOS with an existing high-level metal AM expertise especially in automotive, Formula 1 and aerospace and SRH Hochschule Berlin, one of the leading private universities in Germany, specializing in international business administration and management. “One of the major barriers for
30
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD MAY 2017
metal Additive Manufacturing technology is the shortage of AM application engineering experts at a global level. The program aims to empower the future generation of AM engineers through specialized training and expertise.” comments Güngör Kara, Director Global Application & Consulting at EOS. And he adds: “With this initiative, we also want our customers to turn this AM knowledge into a competitive advantage. They will save time and money, as well as boosting their business productivity with industrial 3D printing.” The first participants will start their expert training program in May 2017, with a maximum number of eight participants per course. Until recently, an application engineer would need up to two years’ experience to acquire adequate AM knowledge. This program is designed to reduce the learning
curve to six months, and lower the general threshold that companies are facing when implementing Additive Manufacturing technology. The program will also substantially reduce the investment risk for entering AM production. Based on the trained workforce, a customer is now able to bring innovative AM metal applications to their
industries as well as introducing both radical innovations and serial manufacturing more rapidly. In close cooperation with both universities, the course offers a mix of intense theoretical and practical learning blocks at the partner universities, at EOS and in-house with the customer. After a period of six months, participants receive their “AM Application Engineer” certification.

Renishaw launches new intelligent process control software The Renishaw Equator flexible gauge is now offered with IPC (intelligent process control) software, providing the functionality to fully automate tool offset updates in CNC manufacturing processes. Improved capability in precision part machining, reduced setting and process adjustment time, and integration with automation systems are some of the benefits that users can now expect. IPC is used with the existing software running on the Equator controller, using recent historical gauging data to determine process corrections. Connection to a
34
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD MAY 2017
compatible machine tool can be as simple as connecting an Ethernet cable from the Equator to a CNC machine. This capability has already been used by Renishaw customers worldwide to achieve considerable performance gains across a wide variety of industries, applications and CNC machine types, including lathes, machining centres and highly automated machining cells. The new IPC software allows constant monitoring and adjustment of a machining operation, keeping part dimensions close to nominal and well within process control limits. This means
that any process drift is quickly corrected, improving part quality and manufacturing capability, along with reducing scrap. The proximity of the Equator gauge to the CNC process allows rapid measurement and process adjustment at the point of manufacture, avoiding time delays or relying on finished part (tailgate) inspection. The IPC software can average results across several parts to determine the true process mean for adjustment of each cutting tool. For process control purposes, it is usual that only one machined feature per tool offset will require gauging, as compared to many features
for typical Quality Assurance (QA) applications. The frequency and control of offset updates can be configured on a feature by feature basis depending on design tolerances, process variation and tool wear rates. The ability to correct a process automatically with IPC software eliminates the potential for manual data entry errors and removes the requirement for an expert to decipher traditional measurement reports into a process correction value at the CNC machine.

SCHUNK wins HERMES AWARD 2017 This year’s HERMES AWARD winner is German company SCHUNK GmbH & Co. KG. The HERMES AWARD is one of the world’s most prestigious industrial technology awards, and SCHUNK a global leader in innovative gripping systems. SCHUNK is both an owneroperated German family business and a global player. The award was presented during the HANNOVER MESSE Opening Ceremony on 23 April by Germany’s Minister for Education and Research, Johanna Wanka. “The company’s award-winning solution supports human-robot collaboration, making it a vital part of the smart factory tool kit. It is therefore a perfect fit for HANNOVER MESSE, which this year will once again play a key role in reflecting and driving the ongoing development of Industry 4.0,” said
Dr. Jochen Köckler as the Deutsche Messe Managing Board member in charge of HANNOVER MESSE. SCHUNK’s JL1 co-act gripper is an intelligent modular gripping system for human-robot collaboration that is capable of directly interacting and communicating with its human operator. The JL1’s integrated
sensor systems effectively envelop the module in its own safety “bubble” by continually tracking the proximity of humans and triggering evasive action to avoid any direct human-machine contact. They also enable the module to grip, handle and assemble objects of all geometries. The module’s jaws are able to measure gripping force
and have tactile sensors, so their operation is highly adaptive and responsive. The sensor constellation also includes two cameras that enable the gripper to see its surroundings in 3D and help it to detect workpieces. “Safe and barrier-free humanrobot collaboration in Industry 4.0 manufacturing operations with small production runs, high component diversity and frequent retooling is only possible if every part of the manufacturing system is intelligent, right down to the end effector level. SCHUNK’s JL1 is a perfect example of a state-of-theart, smart end effector, which is why the jury has chosen it as this year’s winning entry,” explained Dr. Wahlster.

With demand coming from specialized sectors, there is a requirement for bigger size machine tools and to cater to this demand, Indian machine tools industry has to adopt the latest technology trends H Madhusudan, Managing Director, Hosabettu Heavy Machinery
Shedding more light on the changing expectations of manufacturers, H Madhusudan, Managing Director, Hosabettu Heavy Machinery says, “All these years, automotive sector has been driving the adoption of technology advancements in the machine tool industry. As the prime requirements of the automotive sector are lower cost and high productivity, machines with rapid speed, faster tool change, in line inspection of the finished component have gained momentum in the Indian machine tool sector. However, with demand coming from specialized sectors like defense, aerospace, transportation, etc., there is a requirement for bigger size machine tools, 5 axes, multi-axes machine tools. To cater to this demand, Indian machine tools industry has to adopt the latest technology trends.” Technology is also being used to address the current challenges faced by manufacturers. For example, automation is being widely used to address shortage of skilled manpower and reduce the cost of operation. “Automated gantry system, robots are being used increasingly in the manufacturing sector,” agrees Madhusudan. Sharing his views Shrinivas Shirgurkar, MD, Ace Designers says, “Automation is being used extensively mainly in the production of large quantities, repetitive parts. Major advantage with automation is that the productivity is far greater
than manual methods. Also, uniformity is maintained in the produced part. Since the past few years, demand for automation has gone up significantly due to lack of skilled manpower. Especially, for smaller companies automation is making a lot of sense as they are always plagued by the challenge of retaining good workmen.” Apart from the extensive usage of automation, several other disruptive technology trends are changing the face of machine tools industry.
is that the sensors embedded in machines provide data which can provide predictive capabilities about life of certain components. The next level in IoT is autonomous machines, which have the ability to correct themselves.” Smart Manufacturing Maturity Levels
The Rise of IIoT
Whether you call it IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), Industrial 4.0 or Smart Manufacturing, the concept has taken the manufacturing world by storm. It is often being termed as the next industrial revolution, and rightly so, as it has the potential to fundamentally reconfigure the industry. The key advantage for manufacturers implementing Industrial IoT solutions lies in improved decision making ability. Manufacturing equipment connected to a web-based network generates data, which upon analysis can aid manufacturers in making timely and effective choices. “Software and computer networks make it possible to gather data and turn into actionable information to make better decisions about manufacturing processes, such as optimizing machine uptime, scheduling maintenance, etc. All of this put together means improved productivity, which in turn leads to maximizing profits,” agrees Shirgurkar. IoT solutions provide better visibility into faulty machine tool and help with predictive analytics capabilities for machine maintenance. Shedding more light on the benefits of using IoT features in machining Shirgurkar says, “The data generated with IoT can be analyzed to monitor what is happening on the machine. It allows for real-time analysis, which increases traceability leading to improved productivity. One can exactly pin-point finger on the faulty component and take corrective measures. Another advantage

time required for calculating technical values or for searching for important data are just one example of savings.” The 3-D Printing Revolution
Considering the dramatic changes that 3-D printing can bring in, the technology is being watched keenly by the major machine tool makers. According to a study by the market research firm Technavio, some of the factors responsible for the huge shift from traditional manufacturing techniques to 3-D printing is the reduction in capital costs, raw material costs, and costs incurred during the reuse of scrap materials. As per estimates, 3D printing technology reduces material usage by nearly 30% to 70% as compared to traditional techniques. This results in faster speed to market for new products and a reduction in development costs. “The need for user industries to achieve substantial productivity even with small batch production is the reason that the adoption of ‘alternative to machining’ technologies is finding favor even among traditional users of machine tools,” adds Raghavan. Leading provider of CAD/CAM software, Autodesk, is eyeing huge opportunities in 3-D printing and has integrated the technology into several of its software packages. “At Autodesk we are at the front-end in driving innovation in the 3-D printing space. The key advantage of 3-D printing is that it enables single-step manufacturing, while eliminating the need for serval processes like welding, painting and grinding. 3-D printing drives product innovation by making previously impossible designs possible. As 3-D printing accelerates product design and reduces time to market, it resonates well with the requirements of the machine tools industry. It also makes manufacturing more sustainable by reducing waste,” says Pankaj Gauba, Head Digital Manufacturing Group – India & Middle East, Autodesk. Gauba further says that with a lot of R&D efforts dedicated towards 3D
printing, mainly on the material side, it is definitely a technology to watch out for in the future. “Going ahead, hybrid printing, combining the best of the both worlds (conventional and 3D printing), will gain traction,” informs Gauba. While 3-D printing is definitely revolutionary, there are some challenges that need to be addressed for the trend to become mainstream. “3-D printing is currently at an evolving stage. I would say the technology at present is not very practical for regular applications as it can prove beneficial only in small batch production. That said, a lot of research and development is happening in this domain and it certainly is an important technology future trend to watch out for,” asserts Shirgurkar. Multitasking: The Order of the Day
Offering the ability to perform many machining operations on parts with just a single setup, multitasking machine tools offer several benefits like cost reduction, increased part accuracy and reduced floor space. Also, multitasking machine tools enable manufacturers to produce complex parts with high-quality and precision while eliminating most of the labor involved with machine setups. “Manufacturers are increasingly demanding high-speed, high accuracy and multitasking machine tools, so a lot of research and innovation is targeted in this area. 5 face machine tools are seeing a lot of demand particularly for large prismatic parts as it eliminates the need of dismounting and remounting a part. Once a part is mounted all the machining processes from turning, milling, drilling happen from the same machine without the need for remounting,” informs Shirgurkar. Looking ahead, the Indian machine tools industry will take definitive measures to fill its technology gap. While the adoption of IIoT is expected to be broad-based at various levels, 3D printing will also find favor, particularly in small batch production, and is likely to replace traditional methods for customized manufacturing.

rench Moto2 team TransFIORmers won its first race at the CEV Repsol European Championship in Barcelona in June 2016. The team used a revolutionary front suspension system including an additively manufactured (3D printed) titanium wishbone produced using Renishaw’s AM250 manufacturing system. The component is a perfect example of effective part consolidation, with a weight saving of 600 g compared to the original welded steel component. The TransFIORmers team worked in partnership with I3D Concept to design and manufacture a unique front
suspension system inspired by maverick race bike designer, Claude Fior. The system uses a design radically different from any other suspension system used in Moto2. The system bypasses traditional weight transfer phenomenon and the problems associated with ‘brake dive’. Key components of the front suspension are the wishbones; components that attach the fork to the motorbike chassis, enabling movement of the forks. The original upper wishbone component was handmade and assembled using twelve individually machined and welded parts. I3D Concept, topologically optimised the shape of the part using CAD
CASE STUDY software. The new design reduced assembly time, decreased the weight by a factor of 40%, but as importantly, reduced the unsprung mass of the bike. This improved the suspension in terms of vibration management and responsiveness to braking and acceleration. “Additive manufacturing allowed the TransFIORmers team to produce a precisely manufactured component in a highly competitive environment,” explained Christophe Tisserand, Additive Manufacturing Product Manager for Renishaw S.A.S. The Optical Control System of Renishaw’s AM250 additive manufacturing system enabled accurate control of laser steering, which enhanced precision, definition of features and surface finish. The TransFIORmers team considers themselves the first in the Moto2 championship to use additive manufacturing in a structural, functional component. For more information Web: www.renishaw.com

How Fanar delivers complex tools within seventy-two hours ANCA’s MX7 Linear has given Fanar the ability to produce complex tools, even for individual orders, at the highest quality with minimal risk
F
anar is one of the top five manufacturers of tools in Europe and is known in the market for its uncompromising quality. The Polish based company supplies a wide range of cutting tools for threading, drilling, milling and turning and specialises in shank tools for machining holes. Fanar’s global network of customers operate in the automotive, aerospace, medical and home appliances industries among others. From the beginning Fanar has invested in the newest technology and machine tools to ensure they have the capability to offer the latest products. However, in 2016 Fanar realised that if it was going to remain ahead in the market they needed to improve the production time for manufacturing complex cutting tools. Dariusz Ptaszkiewicz, Technical Director at Fanar said “In the era of e-bay people are accustomed to the convivence of online shopping where products are delivered within two to three days. This mindset can be challenging when customers expect this same type of service especially when purchasing specialist cutting tools. We needed to find a way to meet our customers’ expectations without compromising on quality.” “The more complex the tool, the longer it takes to produce and may require several machines and different set ups as part of the grinding process. Essentially, this process can be quite lengthy. However, at FANAR we are not afraid of a challenge and we set ourselves the ambitious goal of delivery to our customers within seventy-two hours from receipt of the order.” “We looked for a supplier who could provide a solution that enabled fast changeovers, precision and repeatability.
58
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD MAY 2017
Another important requirement was that the grinding machine had a software package that was intuitive to use and didn’t require highly skilled programmers. “After reviewing what was available on the market, we were confident that ANCA’s MX7 Linear was right for our businesses because of its numerous innovative features. The polymer concrete base, linear motors, ability to prepare tools (wheels) on the machine and integrated measuring system meant that we could achieve our goal of seventy-twohour delivery with a grinding machine of the highest standard.” First impressions and opening new markets
Dariusz Ptaszkiewicz, continued “When investing in a new product, there is always some concern that the machine may not deliver what was promised. ANCA’s MX7 Linear exceeded our expectations and I am yet to find a product that offers so many innovations and features that are unique to the market.” “Once we had the latest technology, combined with our years of experience in grinding and metalworking, we could quickly begin production of
the most complex geometry and high dimensional precision tools.” “I am excited that Fanar is now in a position where we can consider orders that in the past we avoided. The technology means we have the capacity to produce complex tools, even for individual orders, at the highest quality with minimal risk. With the investment, we have achieved our goal of significantly reducing lead times and production costs, while opening new potential markets for our business.” Special features such as RoboMate have enabled simple but accurate automation and ANCA’s in process measuring system, Laser Plus, has meant that for the first time our company has implemented unmanned production without any concern that the products may be defective. “Furthermore, the machine was ordered with the Statistical Process Control (SPC) software package for quality control purposes. This enables Fanar (as a trusted supplier of cutting tools) to continue to meet ISO 9001, ISO / TS 16949 standards.”

Cost of Downtime in your Organization
I
nvesting in an industrial CNC milling, turning or grinding center is a smart business choice. A CNC machine can produce parts with amazing speed, accuracy and consistency, which can give you the competitive edge you need to thrive in a tough economy. However, while CNC machines are designed to be as safe as possible, they can be susceptible to fire. Many CNC/EDM machines operate using oil-based metalworking fluids, coolants and lubricants. These oils and fluids are flammable, with flash points ranging from 170° to 350° Celsius, and are continually exposed to extremely high levels of friction and heat. A mistake in programming or a mechanical failure can quickly turn a normal machining operation into a hazardous situation. Even a single spark can turn the ready supply of coolant oil and vapor into a major fire in seconds. The result: • Lost productivity/ Downtime • Lost customers • Lost profits & market share • Loss of life • Property Damage and recovery cost Advantages/ Disadvantages of OilBased Fluids Straight oil-based metalworking fluids, coolants and lubricants offer several advantages over water-soluble fluids. The use of oil-based metalworking fluids in industrial CNC and EDM machines will increase tool life, reduce friction and heat, improve surface finish and help flush dross from the work area. Perhaps the greatest advantage of straight oils is the excellent lubricity or “cushioning” effect they provide between the cutting tool and
60
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD
MAY 2017
workpiece. This is particularly desirable for applications that require high quality surface finishing. The greatest disadvantage of straight oils is their poor heat dissipating properties, which leads to an increased fire risk, which is why they are usually limited to low temperature and low-speed operations. About Titanium Fires High tolerance machined titanium parts are always in demand in the aerospace and medical industries. Unfortunately, many shop owners refuse to turn titanium because they are Convinced, it presents a constant and serious fire danger. This is in large part a misconception. While a small percentage of machine fires are sparked by the titanium, the vast majority of fires actually begin in the coolant oils, where the flash point is typically less than half of the flash point of titanium. Once the oil catches fire, it can grow until it becomes hot enough to auto-ignite titanium. The real key to preventing titanium fires is to detect and suppress oil fires quickly, before the heat can build to the titanium flashpoint. How to Contain the Threat of Machine Fires Adding an automatic fire detection and suppression system is a reliable and cost-effective way to protect your CNC
machines from the threat of fire and the inevitable losses caused by machine downtime. However, not all fire protection systems are equal. The trick is to bring the fire detection and suppression apparatus into the microenvironment of the machine itself in order to quickly detect and extinguish a fire at its source. One solution, pioneered by Firetrace, relies upon heatsensitive pressurized tubing as detection and delivery device. The tubing can react to a fire in less than 10 seconds and deliver total suppression in less than 15 seconds using a clean agent such as Novec 1230. With a Firetrace system, a machine oil fire is quickly detected and suppressed, inhibiting the ignition of the metal work piece. Additionally, the clean agent used requires no cleanup and will not contaminate the coolant oil. After rectifying the cause of the fire, most CNC machines can be immediately returned to service. Adding Firetrace capability allows for a constant presence within the machine and a “24/7 fire watch.” Even if your machine operator is away from the machine or you are running lights out, a Firetrace automatic fire detection and suppression system provide round-theclock protection for your machine.

Application of Linear Encoders on Machine Tools By Abhilash Tripathi Associate Director (Sales & Service) Heidenhain Optics & Electronics India Private Limited
T
he requirements facing industrial production of mechanical parts are steadily growing. Rising cost pressure is driving a trend toward dynamic machine tools that produce parts economically with very high accuracy even in small batches. The use of linear encoders to ascertain the slide position— also called “closed-loop control”—permits accuracy from the first to the last part. The effects of the feed mechanism, such as a difference weight of workpiece or the expansion of the recirculating ball screw, have no influence on the machining result and therefore on the accuracy of the machine. If the machine operates in a so-called “semiclosed loop,” the table position is measured through the pitch of the recirculating ball screw and the angular position of the motor encoder. Changes in the feed mechanism, such as thermal expansion, cannot be detected in the closed loop. At higher traversing speeds, however, the ball screw becomes significantly warmer. Figure 1 illustrates such heating with a thermal camera. The
Figure 1: Thermal behavior of a recirculating ball screw 62
MACHINE TOOLS WORLD

Figure 2: Effect of drive accuracy on series production inhomogeneous temperature distribution with temperature peaks of up to 50.5°C is clearly visible. Positioning error up to 200 µm within a short time is unavoidable and cannot be compensated because of the unknown distribution curve. The test setup shown in Fig. 2 illustrates the effects on the accuracy in the production of 300 parts. One workpiece with three holes, 2 mm deep, and the corresponding outside contour was machined. After 30 more workpieces were “machined” without tool contact, machining was repeated with 2 mm further infeed in the Z direction. This machining sequence was repeated to simulate the production of 300 individual parts. The workpieces show a considerable difference in the machining result of semiclosed loop control in comparison with that of a closed loop control. The deviations from the desired position are up to 200 µm. In contrast, the workpieces from machines with linear encoders provide the correct contour to within a few micrometers. (Fig. 3) The use of linear
Figure 3: Deviation between hole patterns in series production encoders therefore permits accuracy from the very first part without protracted run-in cycles. Of course, this also applies for mold making. If, for example, two mold halves are machined, then form deviations due to machine error normally require extensive rework. This basic consideration applies both for linear and rotary axes. Here, too, positions can be measured with a
TECH TRENDS speed-reduction mechanism connected to a rotary encoder on the motor, or with a highly accurate angle encoder on the machine axis, whereby angle encoders achieve significantly higher accuracy grades and reproducibility. Linear encoders in various mechanical designs Machine tools are usually equipped with sealed linear encoders, which are available in two designs. The 100 series (with large cross section) is available up to a measuring length of 4240 mm. By fastening it every 200 mm with the machine base, a very high reliability is achieved against vibration conducted from outside. The 400 series (with small cross section) permits measuring lengths up to 2040 mm and is used primarily where installation space is limited.The fundamental design of the encoders is identical for both series. A light source transmits light through the glass scale. The high-accuracy DIADUR graduation on the glass produces a precise pattern on the detector (photoelements), which is converted by the integrated electronics into electrical signals. With linear encoders for machine tools, the detectors function exclusively according to what is known as the single-field principle. These detectors, opto-ASICs developed by HEIDENHAIN, are optimized for application in machine tools. They are characterized by high tolerance to contamination and EMC interference. This modern sensor technology is the basic prerequisite for very high reliability together with consistent signal stability. The housing protects the optics from heavy contamination and allows itself

to be fastened to the machine base. The elastic sealing lips close the slot required for movement almost completely. In many cases, these measures do not suffice to ensure reliable operation. Under extreme exposure to liquid or condensation, the use of clean compressed air has proven to ensure reliability for many years of operation. A coupling between scanning carriage and mounting base permit the +/- 0.3 mm mounting tolerance to the machine components without impairing the accuracy of the encoder. In the machine tool sector, too, the share of linear axes with direct drive is steadily increasing. This has been driving the continuously increasing demands on measuring technology with regard to signal quality and neutrality in the control loop. Besides small signal periods, a low position error within the period is also required in order to attain the required bandwidth in the closed loop. The absolute LC linear encoders with single-field scanning attain a max. error within the signal period of +/- 20 nm and therefore place no limit for the control bandwidth. Absolute measuring technology significantly facilitates finding the commutation angle after the machine tool is switched on, and allows simple implementation of feed axes with direct drive. Mounting the encoders If the use of linear encoders is considered
early in the design phase, fast and reliable mounting in only a few minutes is possible. For example, it allows the required alignment of the encoder to the machine guideway through milled stop edges. Of course, pins can also be used to align the encoders. For the absolute linear encoders of the 400 series there are accessory â&#x20AC;&#x153;pins with clamping elementsâ&#x20AC;? that ensure a reliable connection of the scale with the machine base. They are recommended for measuring lengths of 640 mm and more. At 1240 mm measuring length or longer, the clamping elements or a mounting spar must be used in order to ensure the required stability of the encoder perpendicular to the measuring direction.The clamping elements have two advantages over the use of mounting spars. First, they can reduce cost, and second, they do not change the basic mounting conditions. It is therefore easy to implement a modular design with variable measuring length.
Figure 6: Installation via clamping elements for the 400 series Summary A decisive factor for the productivity of a machine tool, besides accuracy (can I use this equipment to manufacture this part in a reliable process), is the availability of the equipment. High productivity with consistently high part quality is most easily achieved with linear or angle encoders. Today, their application is considered standard, not only on universal machines, but also on production machines. They are supported with numerous aids, beginning with 3-D models for simpler machine design, to special mounting accessories, fast and reliable mounting, and electrical testing equipment for initial servicing.

The best of both worlds Programming safety and standard under one interface
P
LC control systems and safety functions are increasingly being merged within one system architecture. While standard and safety are already converging on the hardware side, on the software side, the merging of both worlds has only just started: for the first time, an EN/IEC 61131-3 language has now been classified as an LVL in the field of industrial automation, meeting the requirements for the creation of safety-related user software. In the past, the imperative for there to be an absence of feedback meant that architectures for standard machine control and safety functions had to be strictly separate. For reasons of clarity and to save costs, the current trend is to merge standard and safety within one control architecture. Such mixed structures are becoming established particularly where decentralised periphery is used, to minimise cabling work for example. On the software side, up to now it has been difficult to link both worlds: to date, developers have had to switch between simple function blocks for safety and powerful program editors for the PLC
control system. Safety-related programming with function blocks Safety functions are currently available in certified application blocks, used to program safety applications. Accredited bodies such as BG or TÜV have tested these blocks in advance for safety. With the help of safe application blocks and the logic connections between these blocks, the plant or machine builder creates the safety-related application he requires, an application which he would previously have implemented by wiring contactors and relays in a laborious, time-consuming process. Contacts and wires are replaced by graphic lines displayed on screen between the ready-made application blocks. An electrical circuit diagram showing the logic functions is no longer required. To ensure that programs remain clear and understandable, on most systems the instruction set and/or number of available editors is restricted. Generally speaking, the complex programming familiar from the standard PLC machine control system is impossible.

PLC programming with high-level languages This is where standardised programming languages in accordance with EN/IEC 61131-3 are put to use. EN/IEC 61131-3 is an international standard for programming languages for programmable logic controllers. Two of the most common languages are ST (Structured
Text) and IL (Instruction List). However, the standard makes no reference to safetyrelated control systems. For standard and safety to merge, therefore, the ability to use EN/IEC 61131-3 PLC languages to program safety tasks as well would be desirable. PSS 4000: Merging standard and safety The focus of the automation system PSS 4000 from Pilz is the merging of standard and safety. The system can be used to implement automation solutions for standard and safety, which are easy for the user to operate.

IL for Instruction List and PAS STL for Structured Text. What’s special to note is that this is the first time that these EN/IEC 61131-3 languages have been classified as LVLs in an industrial automation environment (see boxed text): thanks to system-related modifications and restrictions, plus tool support when entering data, TÜV Süd classifies the EN/IEC 61131-3 languages available in PAS4000 as LVLs. As a result it is possible to meet the requirements for the creation of safety-related software (SRS), as specified in application standards such as EN/IEC 62061 and EN ISO 13849-1. So programmers can continue to use their familiar programming languages and make use of the expressions and functions contained in these programming languages to create application software. And they do not need to raise their whole development and validation process to the academic level of EN/IEC 61508 to do so.
Fig. 3 : Structured Text is one of the languages standardised in EN/IEC 61131-3 for programming PLCs and provides more structuring options than IL.
Possible to mix environments The programming environment of the graphics Program Editor is identical to that of editors designed in accordance with EN/IEC 61131-3, enabling simple operation. For example, customised software blocks written by users in PAS IL (Instruction List) for standard or safetyrelated functions can be transferred to PASmulti without further ado. As a result, complex projects containing software components from various editors can be clearly structured. And applications can access the same database, enabling a centralised view of a distributed system.
Safety or non-safety-related: classification will decide The following user standards apply for the safety of application software (SRS) in mechanical engineering: EN/IEC 62061 and EN ISO 13849-1. A distinction is made between FVL (Full Variability Language) and LVL (Limited Variability Language). Programming languages classified as FVL offer all possible programming options. Due to their large function and instruction set, IL and ST are generally Fig. 4 : With PAS STL as an additional member of the regarded as FVL languages, family of EN IEC 61131-3 Editors, Pilz enables safety-related alongside high-level and standard functions to be programmed uniformly and languages such as C or C++. completely on the same standardised basis.

LVL languages, on the other hand, have a limited language scope but clarity of expression. These languages are mostly restricted to the ability to parameterise and combine pre-defined library functions, in order to implement the safety requirements within the program. However, the expressive power of a block-structured language (FBD, Function Block Diagram), for example, is absolutely no different to IL, it’s just that the graphical representation gives the user a clearer overview. In accordance with EN/IEC 62061 and EN ISO 13849-1, the requirements for creating safetyrelated software can only be met using programming languages that have been classified as LVL. When an FVL language is used, reference is made to the much more complex development and validation process in accordance with the generic safety standard EN/IEC 61508. The challenge in combining the free configuration of function blocks with the programming available in EN/IEC61131-3 compliant editors is to convert a programming language that has previously been classified as FVL into an LVL language.

PRODUCT SHOWCASE New WSX series - Low cutting resistance face mill Innovative Insert Geometry The positive geometry of the Double Z inserts for the new WSX series takes face milling to a new level of usability. The geometry produces low cutting resistance, making it ideal for all types of machines, from low power through to heavy duty types. This level of cutting resistance is only usually associated with conventional single sided positive inserts and allows end users to increase machine utilization. The new moulded SNMU and SNGU G class type inserts used on the WSX cutter have all the attributes of a single sided positive geometry insert but importantly, also have the advantage of being double sided with a cost saving, 8 cutting edges.
Double Z Geometry The cutting edge of the Double Z geometry inserts are set at a 17º positive axial rake angle when clamped in situ. This provides the perfect solution that includes a strong but sharp cutting edge whilst allowing the inserts to be double sided. Furthermore, a large 5mm max depth of cut is possible.
Reliability A predictable and safe performance is demanded by today’s customers and the WSX series meets these criteria with strong insert clamping and an Anti –Fly mechanism. Through coolant holes are also standard in cutters under Ø160, providing efficient chip removal and cooling to further enhance process reliability.
