CEO CORNER Creating Safer & Healthier Work Environment: The Vital Factor As today’s manufacturing industry increasingly relies on efficient yet potentially dangerous equipment, worker safety has become a predominant issue to all those involved with production processes. Employees must be protected against machine-related injuries that could result in disfigurement, amputation or even death. To protect employees and safeguard against machine hazards, appropriate machine safety devices and safeguards should be utilized. Safeguarding refers to the requirements, methods and solutions put into place to protect people who operate or come in contact with potentially dangerous machines from these mostly preventable occupational injuries. Today, Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) programs are so prevalent across global manufacturing organizations, at first thought, providing a definition can feel redundant and unnecessary. However, in the midst of emerging best practices, shiny new tools and technologies, and a plethora of metrics to capture and analyze events and actions, it can be easy to forget what EHS actually is as well as how and why it emerged. In developing a strategy to improve machine safety, the entire machine, manufacturing process and even the “habits” of workers must be taken into account to develop appropriate safety design and solutions. Machine safety can be thought of as an umbrella under which many aspects fall. These aspects of safety can include everything from machine design (eliminating hazards when possible), safeguarding hazards, warning signage and signals, personal protection equipment (PPE), supervision and training and installation and maintenance. Machine safety is everyone’s responsibility, from the machine designer, to the installer and integrator, to the operator and maintenance personnel and, ultimately, the employer. There are a number of solutions for every problem and many resources to help achieve the goal of a safe working environment.

INDIA DESIGN WEEK - 2017 : Discovers Budding Designers ICT Academy, in association with Autodesk, recently organized the INDIA DESIGN WEEK 2017, a unique initiative for budding designers to learn, explore, innovate and design products for different areas. These areas include built environment, disaster relief, energy, food, health & well-being, mobility, waste, water, clean industry and resource & materials. The inaugural edition was commenced on August 4, 2017 at Coimbatore, with the theme “Design for Ecosystems”. It was open for fulltime students enrolled under Mechanical, Aeronautical, Automobile, Mechatronics, robotics and Production Engineering courses and nearly 500 students from Tamil Nadu have participated in the 24H Design Challenge at Sri Krishna College of Technology, Coimbatore on 6th & 7th August 2017. Twentyfive Industry experts from top level organizations were invited as jury members for the competition. Six hundred (600) Students formed 160 groups from 24 colleges and participated in India Design Week competition. The students worked on live product designs and got an opportunity to attend a series of workshops, mocks, and product showcase of Autodesk. Top 3 winners were selected by the jury members based on their project presentations and the top 3 received a cash prize of Rs 30,000, Rs, 20,000 and Rs. 10,000 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize respectively. The best of 20 projects were 3D printed and displayed in a gallery. Mr. M. Sivakumar, CEO, ICT Academy said, “This initiative is part of our efforts to enable the students, the future generation of engineers to create product designs

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

that can have a positive impact on the various ecosystems that sustain human life. We are very excited to have Autodesk as our partner for this initiative as they are globally acclaimed pioneers of design who believe in the power of technology. We believe this design event will not only help the students to acquire new skills and insights but also inspire them towards creating a better future”. Mr. Anand Pillai, Education lead – India & SAARC, Autodesk India said, “ We, at Autodesk, are not just looking to the future with new technology; we’re looking to the future with the next generation. We’re preparing students for careers in design, engineering, manufacturing, and the digital arts using the tools the professionals use. With initiatives like the India Design Week, we’re tapping into the passion of young people to change the world for the better, to be more than just successful in their careers, but to do good while doing well.” Smt. S Malarvizhi, Chairperson and Managing Trustee, Sri Krishna College of Engineering & Technology said, “It’s a great pride in being a part of nation-building exercise and encouraging young designers to deliver their project ideas. The students created their product design, which aspired to make a

difference and contribute towards the global agenda. Shri. Kumar Jayant IAS, Managing Director of TAHDCO said, “Students should be free to utilize their time in the college without the pressure put by the academic leader in the name of discipline; discipline has to come from within. Further, the student community should understand that the examination and results is not the ‘be all and end all’, which is evident from the placement trends that indicate that most of the toppers sparsely make it through in the campus interviews. Students should understand further that the cut-off marks set by the campus interviewers are only to reduce the size of the sample that they would need to interview.” Secondly, when talking of innovation, it is essential to understand that evading fear is a basic trait for an innovator. Whenever creating something new or innovation is ventured into, one should never be afraid of failure, as achievements are the fruit of determination and perseverance. Moreover, to innovate something one should be aware or be exposed to the worldly developments, which is purely dependent on what one does beyond the confines of the educational institutions. Ultimately, the thirst to learn will expose to newer knowledge

and exposure, which will eventually give an insight to innovate. Mr. Pradeep Nair, Managing Director, India and SAARC, Autodesk said that the future of making things is changing. When thinking of ideation and innovation, it is always under-estimated of what could be done long-term, but an over-estimation happens about what could be done overnight. If we roll over time, no innovation has ever happened instantaneously. For instance, the mobile revolution that has happened in this millennium is the result of collective innovative efforts of many different industries, which have been pushing the boundaries to redefine the art of making something new. The case is the same with the core industries in every walk of the business. Innovation does not happen completely all of a sudden; innovation is incremental, which happens over a period of time. ICT Academy, Industries, Institutions and Government together have been part of strengthening the India’s vision “Skill India”, he added. ICT Academy, headquartered in Chennai, India is an initiative of the Government of India in collaboration with the state Governments and Industries. ICT Academy is a not-for-profit autonomous organization, the first of its kind pioneer venture under the PublicPrivate-Partnership (PPP) model that endeavors developing the next generation talent pool. ICT Academy in partnership with Autodesk has been developing teachers and students on Design thinking in the areas of Manufacturing, Automobile, Construction and Architecture. - P.K.

Schmersal launches new generation of position switches The Schmersal Group launches a new generation of position switches. The benefits for the user: The new PS product range offers varied applications, as all the position switches can be used both as complete devices and as modular units. Type 1 position switches in line with ISO 14119 are for the position detection and monitoring of moving parts on machinery and plants as well as for lateral or pivotable protection equipment. The new range is suitable for a wide range of applications across all individual disciplines of machine and plant engineering - both for automation and safety applications and for lift engineering. The protection types IP66 or IP67 create the prerequisites for using the position switch in unfavourable

environmental conditions. The modular design of the PS range with consistent components across all models reduces the number of variants, reduces storage costs and increases availability. All the position switches in the PS116, PS2xx and PS3xx ranges available within the modular system can be chosen both as complete switches with

actuating element or as basic switches. Depending on the application, the basic switches can be combined with the necessary actuating element, which can be selected from a range of possible versions. This achieves the greatest possible flexibility in application and at the same time reduces the number of different switches available.

All actuating elements can be rotated in 45° increments, allowing adjustment to the defined direction of motion at any time. The connection terminals are also rotated around 45°, which makes connection easier and significantly reduces installation times. Switching elements with up to three contacts guarantee a redundant shutdown with an additional signal contact.

Q. A complete range of solutions for machine tool Industry. Solutions for several linear motion applications for industrial machines are available through the use of Rollon linear rails, such as lateral sliding of protective devices, the movement of control panels or the movement of tools in machining centers. Rollon products have the ability to absorb misalignments, especially the rails in the product family: • Compact Rail ( Linear line): They guarantee important advantages to industrial machine manufacturers in applications of this type. They make it possible to lower the costs of uniforming the surfaces of machines, which are often irregular, or to manage movement efficiently even without a rigid structure: under these conditions, an excessively rigid system would not

be able to operate correctly. Furthermore, the use of ball bearing sliders makes it possible to maintain excellent quality of sliding even in the presence of process residue or contaminants (sawdust, powders, etc.). • Telescopic Rails: Manufacturers of industrial machines, to manage the extractions of compartments or components from machines during maintenance, can instead use the Rollon telescopic rails. The Telescopic Rail family, in particular, is used in the field of heavy duty extractions. Its high load capacity is guaranteed by hardened raceways and reduced deflection, which allow maximum efficiency and complete ergonomics, with extractions of up to 200% of the length of the rail. • Actuator Sysytem Line: The acquisition of the Italian company Tecno Center has allowed Rollon to consolidate its own know-how in the field of Cartesian robotics and integrated mechanical solutions to create the Actuator System Line, the product line dedicated to industrial automation that offers several solutions for machine tool automation. Offered in the Actuator System Line, Carte-sian systems with multiple vertical axes are widely used to automate machining centers. Vertical

Exchanging metal 3D printing solutions with HiETA Challenge

echnology from Renishaw is helping HiETA to move metal additive manufacturing (AM) from prototype manufacture into commercial production of its specialist range of heat exchangers. In particular, the recent addition of Renishaw’s RenAM 500M system at the company has enabled manufacturing times and, therefore production costs, to be reduced dramatically. The RenAM 500M is a laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing system designed specifically for the production of metal components on the factory floor. As well as incorporating a powerful 500 W laser to give faster processing than earlier models, the new equipment features an automated powder handling system that enables more consistent process quality and reduced operator time on the machine.

Background

HiETA was founded in 2011 to develop metal AM methods for the production of complex, light-weight structures for various types of heat-management applications. Parts manufactured include recuperators, turbo-machinery and

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

combustion components for micro gasturbines, phase-change heat exchangers for fuel cells and integrated waste-heat recovery systems, and components for highly-efficient internal combustion engines, including turbo-machinery and sections for handling exhaust gases. Stephen Mellor, now Lead Project Engineer at HiETA, became the company’s first employee after an approach by the directors, who had registered some patents on using additive technologies to produce heat exchangers. He had first become involved with AM while studying engineering at Exeter University, UK and, subsequently, specialised in research on the technology for his PhD. HiETA now has more than twentyfive staff and an impressive range of facilities that can together cover the whole AM product development process, starting with a review of the customer’s requirements, and then moving from an initial design through to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite-element analysis (FEA), manufacturing with the Renishaw equipment, testing and validation.

Traditionally, heat exchange products are often made up from thin sheets of material that are welded together. The complexity of the designs makes production both challenging and time-consuming, while the material used for the welding process adds to the overall weight of the part. Prior to the work at HiETA, little research had been undertaken into the use of AM for the manufacture of heat exchangers. The initial challenges were, therefore, to confirm that AM could successfully generate sufficiently thin walls of the required quality and, then, to produce a complete component with the complexity of a typical heat exchanger. The third challenge was to use the knowledge and experience developed to move the process from the manufacture of samples and prototypes into low-volume production. Solution

HiETA chose to partner with Renishaw and to use Renishaw’s AM250 system across a range of projects. Firstly, HiETA worked closely with Renishaw to develop specific parameter sets for the production of leak-free thin walls

CASE STUDY

in Inconel down to thicknesses of 150 microns. Both companies produced samples using a variety of settings on the AM250 at Renishaw’s facility in Stone, Staffordshire and the system at HiETA’s base on the Bristol and Bath Science Park near Bristol, UK. The resulting samples were heat treated and then characterised at HiETA and Renishaw. The test results enabled the companies to confirm the optimum parameters on the machines for thin-walled structures and also allowed HiETA to develop a design guidebook with parameters for heat transfer in heat exchangers manufactured using laser powder bed fusion technology. Having achieved a leak-free integral wall, the next stage was to move to a complete, full-size unit, which could be completed in a reasonable build time. Two projects were undertaken, both with the participation of UK-based vehicle integrator Delta Motorsports, in Silverstone. The first was a cuboid heat exchanger (recuperator) to be used as a range extender for electric vehicles. The second aimed to take the design

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

of the components to higher levels of complexity beyond the traditional cuboid shape. More complex shapes can improve product performance and cycle efficiency, give benefits in packaging, and reduce costs. The design chosen for this stage was a recuperator of annular form that could be wrapped around other components and contain integrated manifolds to give a more compact overall system. As well as allowing further optimisation of the Renishaw equipment to handle the larger samples, HiETA used these projects to develop an extraction process for removal of excess powder material from the cores of the heat exchangers. Results

The first result of the partnership between HiETA and Renishaw was to produce the basic data needed to set up the AM equipment to produce thinwalled structures successfully and to provide the parameters needed to predict the performance of heat exchangers manufactured with the Renishaw equipment. The thermal transfer and fluid flow data that resulted has been incorporated into the CFD and finite-element analysis programs used by HiETA. These programs can be used for an initial assessment of the likely performance of new component designs and thus confirm that the proposals have the potential to meet the customer’s requirements.

At the same time, Renishaw has added software improvements, both to facilitate processing of the large amounts of data when the complete recuperator is sliced into thin layers and to create the build instructions needed for the complete part. The first attempt at making a complete product on the AM250 system generated a successful component but needed a build time of seventeen days. Following improvements to the hardware and software, together with optimisation of the process parameters, this was reduced to eighty hours. Detailed testing showed that the component would meet the requirements in terms of pressure drop and heat transfer. However, this performance was achieved with a weight and volume approximately 30% lower that an equivalent part made by conventional methods. “With almost all of our projects, we are trying to light-weight components and solve thermal management issues,” explained Stephen Mellor. “Through our partnership with Renishaw, we have produced components that are typically around 40% lighter and smaller by volume than anything equivalent that is available on the market. This is possible because, with the Renishaw technology, we can design and manufacture many novel and high performing surfaces integrated into a single component. This would be very difficult to do with conventional methods.” Following the success with the Renishaw AM250, HiETA invested in the more powerful RenAM 500M system to enable more cost-effective production of commercial components in low volumes. “We are now producing parts for engines with real commercial applications and for customers with very demanding requirements,” he continued. “We use Renishaw’s AM technology to produce very complex parts that give high performance at competitive prices.”

Morgan Advanced Materials is capitalising on growth in the ceramics market by investing in ANCA’s FX5 Linear to achieve high volume production without compromising accuracy

he global ceramics market is expected to reach $287 billion by 2022, according to a recent report by Grand View Research, Inc[1]. Furthermore, advanced ceramics are expected to be the fastest-growing segment in terms of volume at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 9% through to 2022. With the increasing global demand of ceramics, Morgan Advanced Materials in Melbourne Australia, recently purchased an ANCA FX5 Linear machine, dedicated to the high volume production grinding of ceramic parts. Morgan Advanced Materials is a global leader of advanced ceramics with 117 locations worldwide. They design and manufacture advanced ceramic components from a portfolio of cutting edge materials in ceramics and as well as offering in-depth materials expertise and vast applications experience across a range of markets. Steve Thompson, Morgan Advanced Materials General Manager, explained the reason for deciding to partner with ANCA, “we reviewed and tested several different machines to evaluate which was best suited for grinding the most advanced and hardest ceramic materials. At the end of our extensive testing, we found that the FX Linear was the only machine that achieved consistent and accurate results that could meet our stringent requirements”. When asked about the results the FX5 Linear was able to achieve, Thompson stated, “no other machine in-house was able to produce a ceramic part with the same accuracy, contour and surface finish as the FX5 Linear. We are consistently

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

achieving contour tolerances down to 0.003mm (0.0001”) over large batches of ceramic parts. The FX5 is operating 24/7, which is critical to ensuring that our parts supply is able to meet the customer’s delivery needs”. “Being locally supported by ANCA’s experienced technical After Sales and Applications teams provides us with prompt customer service and on-site support. Maximising our machine uptime is crucial for us to achieve our high productivity goals”. “An important reason we purchased from ANCA was we wanted to integrate our own third party automation solution to minimise operator interaction and ensure maximum machine productivity. ANCA fully supported us with this and provided the electrical and software interface to the machine so we could easily integrate our loading system. It was important that we were able to do all of this ourselves to guarantee we ended up with a customised solution that met our needs”. “ANCA’s software is flexible and easy to use, which allows our operators to quickly setup the machine and make any initial offsets simply and easily. The thermal stability of the FX5 Linear is excellent, so no changes are required once the machine is grinding in full production. Also the FX5 has the latest CE and safety features so there is comfort knowing that this machine meets all of our OH&S standards,” Thompson concluded.

Understanding why the ANCA FX Linear is helping customers get ahead • FX Linear machine range consists of 3 advanced, costeffective Tool and Cutter grinders that are optimised for tool regrinding, light manufacturing, through to full production. • ANCA Motion’s cylindrical LinX Linear Motors for axis motion (X & Y axes) included as standard on all models.

Pulsed MIG/MAG welding and its advantages over conventional MIG/MAG processes

ulsed MIG/MAG welding is a variant of the conventional MIG/ MAG welding process in which the current is pulsed. Pulsing was introduced originally for control of metal transfer at low mean current levels by imposing short duration high current pulses. The cycle consists of applying the repeated pulse current over a constant background current: Modern welding sets permit the use of a wide range of pulse amplitudes, durations and waveforms at frequencies from a few Hertz to a few hundred Hertz. Pulse amplitude and duration are best combined to melt and detach a single droplet of the same/slightly smaller diameter as the electrode wire. Selection of pulse parameters for a given wire feed speed is a complex operation. Pulse height and duration are a function of wire composition, diameter and to a lesser extent, shielding gas composition. This has lead to the advent of Synergic welding sets. Synergic MIG/ MAG (GMAW) welding is a variant of pulsed MIG/MAG welding. A synergic welding set provides unit current pulses to detach identical molten droplets of predetermined volume from the electrode wire, combined with the other parametric

relationships necessary for stable wire burn off. Unit pulses are unique to a given material and wire diameter and their details are programmed into a synergic welding set. Modern sets contain a variety of consumable and wire diameter combinations, including programmes for flux and metal-cored consumables. The three essential characteristics of synergic operation are: a. Pulse parameters are selected automatically. b. Pulse frequency or duration is directly related to wire feed rate. c. Electronic control of parameters ensures uniform penetration and weld bead profile. In practical terms, this allows an operator to pre-select wire material and diameter once for any welding operation, then adjust the one control that governs wire feed rate. The ‘one knob’ operation synonymous with this type of power source is the principal advantage of such a system compared to conventional non-synergic sets, which require that the pulse parameters (pulse frequency, peak/ background current etc.) be individually set for a given wire feed speed. Thus synergic welding sets offer the advantages

associated with pulsed MIG/MAG welding, combined with a ‘welder friendly’ control system. Synergic control is also used in conventional MIG/MAG, in which the voltage is adjusted in relation to the wire feed. It is now possible to buy a ‘synergic wire feeder’ which performs this function in conjunction with a standard rectifier power source. Advantages provided by pulsing machines include: 1) Wire and gas savings: Pulsed MIG machines offer a wider operating range because they extend the low and high range of each wire diameter. For instance, before the operator would have to stock .035”, .045” and .052” wire diameters for varying applications, but with Pulsed MIG, .045” can be extended on the low end and top end range so that it can be used for a variety of applications. What this means is that rather than having two or three different sized wires, an operator would only require one. Having one wire type minimizes inventory costs and reduces changeover times. The same is true with shielding gas – one gas can reach both the low and high ranges of the application. In addition, the different types of spare parts (gun, gun tips, liners, etc.) are decreased for additional cost savings. 2) Spatter and fume reduction Compared to Conventional MIG, Pulsing offers reduced spatter and fume. Reduction in spatter translates into significant cost savings because more of the melted wire is applied to the weld joint, not as surface spatter on the product and surrounding fixtures. This also means less clean-up time. A reduction in the welding fumes creates a safer and healthier environment for the entire plant or shop.

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

TECH TRENDS 3) Heat reduction Pulsing offers controlled heat input leading to less distortion and improved overall quality and appearance which means fewer production problems. This is especially important with stainless, nickel and other alloys that are sensitive to heat input. 4) Improved productivity Pulsed MIG offers high deposition rates. In addition, since the new machines are simpler and adaptive, it is easier to weld with pulsed MIG than other transfer methods, less time is spent training. 5) Better quality All these advantages of Pulsed MIG outlined above result in overall better quality of the finished and a more stable arc. In addition, operators are receiving a better quality working environment since they are not dealing with fume, spatter & extra clean-up or grinding time. One more benefit is that synergic power sources allow for these high quality welds to be achieved by those with relatively less training. Pulsed MIG Compared to Other Transfer Methods Short Circuit In short circuit, the wire touches the work piece and shorts to itself. This is the coldest form of welding that still offers good fusion. Short circuit allows operators to weld on both thick and thin material in all positions. It also has the benefit of a small, quickly solidifying puddle. Its disadvantages include limited wire feed speed, and deposition rates. There is also a danger of “cold lapping” on thicker metals. This is where there is not enough energy in the puddle to fuse properly. Short circuit also produces an increased amount of spatter over the other transfer methods. Globular The globular transfer mode is basically uncontrolled short circuit. It is characterized by a large volume of weld metal coming

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

off the electrode. These large droplets are pinched at the arc and drop into the puddle. This method of transfer produces a tremendous amount of spatter as well as high heat input. Also, globular is limited to flat and horizontal fillet welds. Less fusion is often common because the spatter disrupts the weld puddle. Also, because globular transfer uses more wire, it is generally considered less efficient. On the positive side, globular transfer runs at high wire feed speeds and amperages for good penetration on thick metals. Also, it can be used with inexpensive, CO2 shielding gas. It is used mainly when appearance is not an issue. Spray Arc Spray arc propels small molten droplet of the electrode to the work. It is a pure CV process that must produce enough current to send a constant stream of metal off the electrode. Its advantages include high deposition rates, good penetration, strong fusion, good weld appearance with little spatter. Its disadvantages include high heat input, a limited range of welding positions and proneness to burn-through on thin materials. Customization of the Waveform To take the pulsed MIG process a step further, complete customization of the welding waveform can be done through state-of-the-art Waveform Control Technology. This technology allows the power source to be finely tailored to the wire and process. The power source rapidly adjusts the pulse waveform for superior welding performance. It does this by providing a fast or slow front edge on the pulse to transfer the droplet at the proper rate, the back edge then falls at a controlled rate to add the heat needed to wet the droplet to the puddle. With Waveform Control Technology®, built-in templates are set up in the power source for standard usage on a variety of materials. Variables such as ramp rate, peak time, tail out, and step off, among others are controlled in a precise

manner so that when there is a change in the process set-up, there is a corresponding change in waveform configuration. Equipment Selection Pulsed MIG welding has evolved quite a bit since it was first introduced to the marketplace. In the 1980s, it was a highly complex process that could only be performed by the most skilled welders. That was because the operator would have to know exactly how to set the machine for the correct wire feed speed to perform this type of welding. Today, this is all done for him or her as part of the synergic control. When the operator adjusts wire feed speed, the synergic operation adjusts the wave-shape and frequency automatically. The synergic operation of the machine makes it easy to use, even for the beginning welder, with a single knob that controls all operations. In addition, its sophisticated internal electronics are even “adaptive” to adjust for variations in stickout, gap or the torch angle. Ador welding has introduced the latest generation pulsed mig equipment Salient features • Synergic function for automatic selection of welding parameters with respect to • Job thickness • Joint Geometry • Wire feeder with remote parameter setting facility • Pulse MIG Power Source • Water Cooled MIG Torch • Water Cooling Unit Conclusion : Cost savings, better quality, improved productivity and easier operation…all these factors make Pulsed MIG an option that should not be overlooked. Although the high price tag may scare you, carefully weigh the initial investment with the benefits that will be derived over the long term. Take advantage of the new technological advantages provided by Pulsed MIG – one machine to handle virtually any application, flawlessly. (Courtesy: Ador Welding Ltd.).

Product Design & Manufacturing Collection gets massive additions-at no additional cost Simulation and CAM added to make product development more complete and connected By Stephen Hooper, Sr. Director, Manufacturing Business Strategy & Marketing

spend a lot of time talking to manufacturers who work in automotive, industrial machinery, consumer products and many other industries. One big thing is becoming clearer and clearer to me: manufacturers want a simpler software experience. They want one set of tools that talk to each other, so that product designers can easily pass 3D models to Engineering to simulate and test designs, and Engineering can in turn pass final designs to the production team to set up machining. Take for example an organization like UK-based super-car maker Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) , which has to translate the beautiful concepts they develop for their vehicle into practical engineering designs that can be digitally simulated to ensure performance and manufactured on CNC machining centers. To do this efficiently they need to avoid the endless file translation and repair that a traditional workflow demands, as well as the risk it introduces to change management. In recognition of this clear desire from manufacturers, we’re making a pretty big change to what we called our Product Design Collection – until today. We’re adding simulation and CAM tools to the very rich set of design and engineering tools already included. As such, we’re rechristening it as the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection. Specifically, we’re adding the worldclass simulation software Nastran In-CAD

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

and the top-flight Autodesk HSM CAM software to the collection. Annual subscriptions for both of those used to cost over $7,000 per year together. But because we believe so firmly in the advantages of combining design, engineering and manufacturing, we’re adding them at no additional cost to the collection. It will remain just $2460 per year (in the U.S.). With these changes available starting this week, the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection has all the professional-grade tools needed by any product development team to go from design and engineering all the way through production. It’s a set of integrated 2D and 3D CAD, CAE and CAM applications for product development and manufacturing planning. Another way to look at the updated Collection is that it delivers the best Inventor experience we’ve ever offered. The professional-grade modeling and design automation tools of Inventor Professional are now paired with simulation, 5-axis CAM, and factory planning and optimization tools - all completely integrated into the Inventor experience. Customers who subscribe to the Collection also get the benefit of a futureproofed toolset. While all updates for

subscribers may not be as big as this one, we are committed to delivering continual enhancements to the included software, incorporating disruptive tools like our cloud-based Fusion 360 product innovation platform, and adding new technologies like generative design. You also still get AutoCAD and you still get Navisworks, Vault, ReCap Pro, 3ds Max, Factory Design Utilities and more. In short, the sum is greater than the parts, but the parts are pretty great too.

ROLLON: Managing Misalignment in Linear Motion Systems Of all the factors that contribute to the premature failure of linear bearings, misalignment ranks near the top of the list. Here’s how to cope without breaking the bank.

hen design engineers evaluate linear bearings, they always ask about performance attributes such as speed, load capacity and lifecycle. Then they want to know the price. It’s rare, however, that they ask about the bearing’s sensitivity to misalignment. And that’s a big mistake, because misalignment represents one of the leading causes of premature linear bearing wear and failure. Linear bearings that should last for years based on expected life calculations can quit after a just few months if they are not aligned to the geometric tolerances they require to run smoothly. Usually, alignment problems begin with the design and preparation of the machine frame itself. It may not be flat, straight or parallel enough for a bearing to mounted properly. For example, mounting surfaces may have one or more high spots that will read through to the installed bearing rails. Or the frame design may make it difficult to mount bearing rails parallel to one another in the horizontal axis, vertical axis or both. Whatever the type of misalignment, the result is uneven loading of the bearing’s rolling elements and raceway surfaces, including excessive point loads. These uneven loads typically cause wear in the form of pitting. Just as a

Rollon’s Compact Rail system is inherently tolerant of misalignment, thanks to a rail geometry that can absorb alignment errors in one or two axes.

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

pothole in the road starts small and then grows as more cars drive over it, pits on the rolling element and raceway surfaces grow with each pass of the carriage. At some point, even before it fails catastrophically, the pitting can cause the bearing to become noisy and sluggish. By shortening the working life of linear bearings, misalignment can be a significant cost driver for both the machine builder and owner. Machine builders suffer from higher warranty costs when bearings fail prematurely not to mention the less tangible cost of a damaged reputation for quality. Machine owners, meanwhile, have to contend not just with the cost of buying and installing new bearings but also any downtime costs. Rather than incur these costs once the machine has gone into service, it’s far better to deal with misalignment upfront. In general, there are two ways to do so. The hard way involves design and manufacturing procedures that attempt to eliminate misalignment altogether. The easy way accepts misalignment as a fact of life and employs linear bearings that inherently have a wide alignment tolerance. Both of these strategies have their place, but they also have drastically different cost implications. The Hard Way Linear guides that use recirculating balls are well-established in high precision motion applications for good reason. When properly installed and maintained, these linear guides are designed to meet the stringent positioning accuracy requirements of machine tools and other precision industrial machines. In fact, the best of these guides can be found on motion axes that offer repeatability at the micron scale. But this kind of precision doesn’t come cheap. It requires machine

Axial Parallelism Error

builders take expensive steps to create nearly perfect mounting surfaces for linear guides. Some ultrahigh precision guides, for example, call for mounting surfaces that are straight, flat and parallel within a few tenthousandths of an inch. This process of eliminating misalignment starts when the machine is still on the drawing board. To accommodate ultra-high precision guides, design engineers will often have to specify pricey frame materials and fabrication methods that will facilitate the creation of flat, straight, parallel mounting surfaces. Typically, the required geometric tolerances will call for precision grinding and lapping operations whose cost rises exponentially with the length of the linear

TECH TRENDS axis. What’s more, misalignment can also result from deflections of the mounting surface when loaded. So ultra-high precision guides may also need engineers to beef up parts of the machine frame in order to provide linear guides with a mounting surface that is rigid enough to prevent deflection. Steps to combat misalignment also take place on the assembly floor. Assemblers often have to pull linear guides into alignment inch by inch, using custom fixtures, finicky bolt adjustments and shims. This process is nothing new for many machine builders, but it is time-consuming and expensive. And like machining, costs rise with the length of the axis. The Easy Way The other broad strategy for dealing with misalignment is to live with it by choosing linear bearings that can self-align. In contrast to recirculating ball systems, another type of linear bearing feature large rolling elements, rail profiles that give the rolling elements some wiggle room and a simple preload adjustment that enable equal loading of all rolling elements. The Compact Rail System from Rollon is a prime example of this misalignment-tolerant design. Its rollers have enough rotational and lateral freedom within the raceways to offset even large misalignments in all

Alignment Errors In Two Planes Rollon’s K and U Rails work together to absorb alignment errors in two planes. The K Rail geometry gives the roller a rotational freedom that offsets differences in rail height, while the U Rail’s flat raceways allow lateral freedom to offset parallelism errors in the horizontal plane. The system will tolerate significant misalignment (see graph) without an effect on wear or longevity.

MACHINE TOOLS WORLD SEPTEMBER 2017

The Compact Rail system offers three different rail profiles, which can be combined to compensate for different types of misalignment.

axes. Whereas ultrahigh precision guides measure acceptable misalignment in arc minutes and microns, the Compact Rail system measures it in degrees and mm. For example, Compact Rail rollers can rotate up to 2 degrees relative to the rail without affecting functionality or increasing wear. This rotational freedom allows the system to accommodate a 20 mm difference in rail height when the distance between rails is 500 mm. Likewise, the roller’s ability to translate laterally allows it to adjust to parallelism problems in the horizontal axis that is, when rails toe in or toe out. The largest Compact Rail size, for example, can adjust to displacements up to 3.9 mm over a 4080 mm rail length Finally, because the elements are so large and can move within the raceway, they can also adjust to localized variations caused by high spots in mounting surfaces or by a less than exacting assembly process. For machine builders, the benefits of a self-aligning system come down to design freedom and cost reduction. When the condition of the bearing mounting surface becomes less critical, it is easier to design all or part of a machine frame using lower cost materials and fabrication methods. Compact Rail, for instance, has been directly mounted to sheet metal, a surface that would be too compliant for conventional linear guides. Gone too are the expensive grinding of mounting surfaces and the fussy assembly methods. Which Way? When comparing the two approaches to misalignment, eliminating it or adjusting

to it, keep in mind that both have their place. Some linear axes truly do need a rigid bearing with the best possible precision. In these cases, there is little choice but to spend the money on machine frame upgrades, precision grinding and careful assembly. Others axes, ones with slightly lower precision and accuracy requirements, will be better served by a more compliant guide that can align itself to imperfect mounting surfaces. Costs in these cases will be lower. What machine builders sometimes fail to realize is that these two approaches are complementary. Many machines will have linear axes with different accuracy and precision requirements. Consider machine tools, for example. The spindle may need the most accurate linear motion system money can buy, while the tool changer and door do not. All too often, however, the same type of precision bearing that is required for one part of the machine will, by default, be used throughout all or most of the machine, driving up costs unnecessarily. A better way to go is to pick the best linear bearing for each axis individually. And whenever a self-aligning style will meet the accuracy requirements for a given axis, it will save money.

programming to increase tool life and reduce cycle times. The CAM system’s ProfitMilling® and ProfitTurning™ apps represent a fundamental change in the way toolpath in created: most CAM software works from the shape of the part first and considers the machine last, if at all. ESPRIT machine-aware solutions first consider the machine tool – its axes positions and their limits, acceleration, and attainable and requested cutting speeds, allowing users to run machines faster, get a better surface finish on their parts and significantly increase their tool life. As a result, with machine-aware CAM, programmers make better choices regarding toolpath, without asking the machine tool or cutting tool to exceed their own abilities. Knowledge-based machining: Knowledge-based machining, the term for artificial intelligence built directly into a CAM system, makes it possible to significantly cut programming time by capturing best practices, including machining processes and cutting conditions — leaving more time to focus on strategic process improvements and reducing time spent on repetitive tasks. ESPRIT’s

KnowledgeBase™ solution streamlines part programming by automatically selecting the optimum processes — machining cycles, tools and conditions — for part features based on proven best practices. Recording practical knowledge via KnowledgeBase™ is more reliable than leaving it to memory and allows for higher levels of automation through repeatable steps. Because programming is more predictable and consistent, programmers encounter fewer problems and produce higher quality parts. Cloud-enabled machining: As shops move to data-driven manufacturing, integration with cloudbased databases, such as MachiningCloud Inc., further facilitates access to knowledge, product data, resources and process controls for machines, cutting tools and work holding. These cloudenabled databases suggest factoryrecommended feeds and speeds for a given cut, let users quickly find the tools they need, and provide continuously updated manufacturer product data, including drawings and models of tools and cutting tool assemblies for simulation. Because information is stored in the cloud, it is always up to date, available on demand and can be accessed anywhere. These solutions will be on display at the company’s booth (Hall 25, Stand D25) at EMO in Hannover, September 18-23, as well as at other industry events around the world.

Elesa+Ganter improves locking pins portfolio Elesa+Ganter improves its locking pins and gets completely rid of a mechanical retainera strong magnet elegantly takes care of the necessary axial hold

ocking pins are some of the most universal and frequently used standard parts. They are used across all technical applications. But not all locking pins are the same: the generic term stands for an enormous variety of products today, which is clearly reflected in the Elesa+Ganter portfolio as well. There are 10 different variants with different materials and strengths, different types of button and finally a different type of axial hold. Two new variants The globally leading supplier of standard parts is now adding two new variants. The first is the locking pin GN 124.2 with one or two-sided ball retainer that outdoes its predecessor, the GN 124, with a new polyamide button that has an ergonomic and modern design. The second is the locking pin GN 124.1, which has a new functionality and does not have a mechanical axial lock at all. A strong neodymium magnet is integrated into the bottom of the knob and thus holds the inserted pin in position. It therefore remains absolutely smooth, only protrudes minimally and, like the variant with ball retainer, can be removed from the hole even without pressing the release.

Resonant systems for ultrasonic processing of plastics improve efficiency and quality For milling and cutting brittle lightweight materials, new solutions such as resonant systems from Weber Ultrasonics and Hufschmied Zerspanungswerkzeuge shorten processing times, extend tool life and improve accuracy by using significantly reduced process forces

he use of lightweight materials such as fiber-reinforced plastics, composites and stacks with cores of foam or honeycomb structures demands frequently modified processing solutions. Ultrasonic systems for milling, cutting and sawing provide adaptable and efficient processes. Non-resonant systems generally used today convert only about five percent of input energy into vibrations. In contrast, the resonant ultrasonic systems jointly developed by Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme GmbH and Weber Ultrasonics AG achieve an efficiency rate of 90 to 95 percent. Among other things, the systems use significantly reduced process forces.

New Milestones in Optical 3D Metrology ATOS Measuring Data for Industry 4.0 The most important measure for optimizing manufacturing processes in tool, pattern and mold making, is quality assurance, involving measurement, control and correction processes. To do so, three-dimensional digitizing of the actual states of finished and semi-finished products, tools and machines has formed the respective basis. Adaptive manufacturing For Industry 4.0, the use of digitized 3D measuring data offers complete new possibilities. A number of new manufacturing and repair technologies have emerged from the combination of full-field coordinate measuring points and current CAD/CAM software.

In adaptive machining, 3D measuring data of the ATOS system is already used for automated adjustments of single manufacturing and repair steps. Based on the actual states, CNC programs and traveling paths are calculated such that parts are manufactured according to nominal dimensions. In the long term, the whole process control could be based on 3D data. A prerequisite is the establishment of standardized interfaces for software and hardware. New standards In concepts such as PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), as much process and part information as possible is gathered in the form of PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) to ensure a comprehensive and company-

wide management and control of production chains. Therefore, GOM already developed interfaces for the digital transfer of inspection features. Quality criteria and datum systems that were implemented by a semantic construction into the CAD, can be transferred digitally and evaluated in a context-sensitive way. Integrating standardized inspection languages such as GD&T into the GOM Inspect software is a further contribution from the company to Industry 4.0.

The new Gast 86/87R Series of oil-less rocking piston compressors and vacuum pumps While other manufacturers have been busy selling rocking piston compressors that produce a lot of noise and less-than-ideal pressure, Gast has been quietly setting the new standard by re-engineering our oil-less rocking piston from the ground up. The result is a unit that delivers quieter performance, higher pressure, a longer life and greater application flexibility. The sleek, new 86/87R Series is not just another pretty product. It’s beauty runs deep as it performs in ways not yet seen in the industry. The patented crossover chamber design regulates and controls airflow to dampen sound and optimize performance, while delivering a wide range of pressure level options. Because the 86/87R Series can easily retrofit into an existing footprint, it’s also a smart, flexible solution for a wide range of markets and applications, viz. Environmental, General industrial, medical, printing & packaging, food and beverage, transportation, laboratory, and material handling.

“When we set out to re-engineer our rocking piston compressor, we aimed to do more than just increase pressure. We set out to dramatically reduce sound, enhance flow, create a standard footprint for easy retrofit anywhere in the world and improve the compressor’s aesthetics,” says Gast. The inherent design of rocking piston technology makes it the optimal choice for applications requiring high pressure or vacuum and air flow in a small package. The flexible cup is made with superior materials and mounted on top of the connecting rod, creating vacuum or pressure while maintaining a tight seal against the cylinder walls in a rocking motion. The forgiving design has fewer components, causes less friction and has a low exhaust temperature, for greater reliability and durability for the life of the product. Despite it’s small size, the versatility of 86/87R means this is the right product to deliver quality air solutions.
