Curse of the Sea King

www.design-engineering.com

uring CANSEC, Canada’s largest defence and security trade show held last May, Minister of Public Works and Government Services Diane Finley announced the end to one of the longest and most befuddled military procurement fiascoes in the country’s history. After 52 years in service, she told the select crowd of defence contractors, military personnel and government employees, Canada’s fleet of Sikorsky CH-124 Sea King helicopters would finally be replaced by the Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone. In June, the recently sold, U.S.-based aerospace company delivered the initial six Cyclones with another two expected by the end of the year and delivery of all 28 helicopters completed by 2021. The problem is the initial effort to replace the Sea King began in 1985 when the Mulroney government selected the AgustaWestland EH-101, only to have the order cancelled (at a cost of $500 million) by the Chrétien administration eight years later, due to the excessive expense of an expanded program. After years of perceived foot dragging, the Canadian government ultimately decided on a modified version of Sikorsky’s H-92 Superhawk (i.e. the Cyclone) in 2004. However, the next 11 years would see actual delivery of the helicopter frustrated by repeated delays, $200 million in cost overruns and potential safety compromises to the original RFQ specs. Although replacing the Sea King has been dubbed, “The most poorly executed military procurement ever undertaken – anywhere,” it isn’t a singular case, say defence industry watchers. Instead, it’s seen as the “Spotted Owl” of a systemic problem that has cursed many procurement initiatives in recent memory. For example, the botched acquisition of four second-hand Victoria (nee Upholder) Class submarines from Britain in 2000 left Canada regretting the purchase almost immediately. From its inception, the program incurred spiralling expenditures and safety issues followed by a service contract deal mired in lawsuits and political bickering. More recently, the F-35 Lightning II has been similarly plagued by cost overruns, missed deadlines and significant scepticism over its performance and relevance. It’s a procurement nightmare that spurred the DND to extend the lifespan of the CF-18 fighter, in the hope the Joint Strike Fighter will have evolved into a more affordable, reliable and politically palatable option by then. To streamline an admittedly broken process, the Defence department unveiled the first refresh of its Defence Acquisition Guide at CANSEC 2015; however, few anticipate it will change things much. Defence spending cuts in recent years have further limited the government’s ability to push forward with replacement of military hardware that’s rapidly aging on every front. At some point, Canada will have to commit to either being a globally significant military player, with the latest tanks, fighter jets and battleships or, given economic and budgetary realities, downsize in a more isolationist direction that focuses on protecting its borders. Continuing to straddle the fence, without clear direction or the necessary funding, will only doom future military procurement efforts to suffer the curse of the Sea King.

Lockheed buys Sikorsky Helicopter United Technologies Corp. announced in July that it will sell its Sikorsky Aircraft business to Lockheed Martin Corp. for $9 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close by year-end or in the first quarter of 2016. Lockheed says it plans to align Sikorsky under its Mission Systems and Training (MST) business segment. www.utc.com

Mack Defense awarded Canadian Armed Forces contract U.S.-based Mack Defense has been awarded a contract to deliver more than 1,500 8x8 trucks for the Medium Support Vehicle System (MSVS) Standard Military Pattern (SMP) program. Mack Defense will also provide 300 trailers and 150 Armour Protection Systems as part of the two contracts valued at CAD$725 million. Deliveries will begin in the summer of 2017 and system assembly will take place in Prevost’s Sainte-Claire, Quebec plant. www.mackdefense.com

ngineers Canada released its “Engineering Labour Market in Canada: Projections to 2025” report this week, detailing provincelevel projections of supply and demand for engineers in the coming decade. The national organization’s labor forecast projects that more than 100,000 engineering jobs will need filling in Canada between now and 2025 as engineers retire and the economy continues to grow. The most pressing challenge highlighted in the report is a looming skills gap. Senior engineers are anticipated to retire or leave the workforce in the coming decade but will leave an experience deficit in their wake, which can’t be filled by students and early career engineering professionals. For example, retiring mechanical engineers are expected to contribute nearly 70% of mechanical engineering job openings over the next five years in Canada. This will increase to nearly 90% of total ME job openings from 2020 to 2025. To fill this gap, the report suggests senior positions will be taken by experienced internationally trained and Canadian engineers moving between provinces. In addition, increased participation of underrepresented groups in engineering, such as women and Aboriginals, will be necessary to fill engineering positions in Canada over the next decade, the report says. www.engineerscanada.ca/labour-market-report

Rheinmetall to supply armed forces with radar, integrated soldier system

Toronto’s Autodesk Research, Lawrence Livermore partner on meta-material design

Rheinmetall has been awarded two orders, worth up to CAD$493 million. The first contract is for a medium-range radar and an integrated soldier system that will be designed to determine the launch and impact points of enemy rockets, artillery and mortar rounds. The second is the modular Integrated Soldier System (ISS), which will be designed to improve individual soldier situational awareness. www.rheinmetall.ca

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) announced that it will partner with Autodesk Research to investigate the use of 3D printing in creating new meta-materials; that is, artificial materials that are built from geometric microstructures. When combined in various complex configurations using additive manufacturing, these microstructures allow designers to create objects with wholly unique properties (e.g. an object with specifically tuned zones of stiffness, energy absorption, weight, etc. or structurally resilient objects that are also incredibly light.)

Under an 18-month Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), the California-based federal research facility will work with researchers Autodesk’s Toronto-based in-house research wing to put the CAD giant’s generative design software to the task of finding new microstructures and arranging them into new configurations. As an initial test case, LLNL and Autodesk say they will design a next-generation protective helmet. Mark Davis, Autodesk’s senior director of design research, says helmet design is an excellent example of a design problem with multiple objectives, such as the constraints of desired weight, cost, durability, material thickness and response to compression. Applying Autodesk’s goal-oriented design software, LLNL and Autodesk researchers expect to generate and analyze the performance of very large sets – thousands to tens of thousands – of different structural configurations of material microarchitectures. In addition to generative design software, advanced additive manufacturing techniques are expected to allow the LLNL/ Autodesk researchers to produce complex material microstructures that will dissipate energy better than what is currently possible with traditionally manufactured helmet pads. As yet, the research partners say they haven’t decided which kind of sports helmets to create but they believe the collaboration could lead to new design methodologies with helmets as just one example. www.llnl.gov www.autodeskresearch.com

Hybrid crystal opens door to hyper-efficient LEDs Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering announced the invention of a crystalline material that could soon lead to hyper energy efficient LED technology. The new black crystal is the result of combining colloidal quantum dots – luminescent nanoparticles that efficiently convert electricity to light– with a family a materials called perovskites, another promising solar energy material that allows easy electron flow with minimal loss.

“It’s a pretty novel idea to blend together these two optoelectronic materials, both of which are gaining a lot of traction,” says Xiwen Gong, a Ph.D. candidate working with UofT professor Ted Sargent and one of the lead authors of the group’s study published recently in the journal Nature. “We wanted to take advantage of the benefits of both by combining them seamlessly in a solid-state matrix.” Within this matrix, the perovskite lattice helps channel electrons into the quantum dots, which efficiently convert the flowing electricity to light. The trick, say the researchers, was achieving heteroexpitaxy, a state in which the atomic edges of both crystalline structures align smoothly. “We started by building a nano-scale scaffolding ‘shell’ around the quantum dots in solution, then grew the perovskite crystal around that shell so the two faces aligned,” explained coauthor Dr. Zhijun Ning, who contributed to the work while a post-doctoral fellow at UofT and is now a faculty member at ShanghaiTech. According the UofT research team, the combined crystal materials eliminate self-absorption. In addition, their material A glowing quantum dot has been designed to be compat- seamlessly integrated into a ible with existing inexpensive perovskite crystal matrix. (Photo and commercially viable solu- credit: Sargent Group / U of T tion-processing techniques. Engineering) Their next step, they say, will be to build LEDs with the new crystal in an attempt to beat the current LED efficiency record.

Solidworks INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER Fast and accurate decision-making.

Dassault Systèmes’ second module for Solidworks excels at industrial design but doesn’t play well with Solidworks CAD.

One solution for concept through manufacturing.

By Ralph Grabowski

Eﬀective collaboration with partners and suppliers.

assault Systèmes thinks it may have found a solution to a two-sided problem that’s been bothering it since 2010. On the one hand, Solidworks is getting old, with its code base stretching back two decades, and so it can’t easily be brought into the modern era of direct editing, browser-based CAD and online database storage. On the other hand, Dassault can’t just abandon 2.5 million valuable commercial and educational users of Solidworks to its competitors. And so Dassault decided to introduce complimentary modules that perform functions Solidworks can’t do or does poorly. The new modules employ advanced MCAD functions borrowed from big brother CATIA. At the same time, Dassault has pledged to continue maintaining and updating Solidworks for an unknown number of years to come. Dassault is moving slowly by introducing just one new module a year. The first one, introduced last year, is called Solidworks Conceptual Designer (see Design Engineering, March/April 2014 ). This year, it’s time for the second module, Solidworks Industrial Designer. Let me talk about Solidworks Industrial Designer by first describing its workflow, and then analyzing Dassault’s approach to complimenting Solidworks with these modules.

Workflow Industrial design is the artsy side of CAD. Models don’t have to be exact; they just have to look good. Once the industrial designers are done, they hand their work over to the MCAD operators, who use their September | 2015

knowledge to turn the flowing design into a 3D model that’s precise enough to be manufactured with plastic injection molds or lathe machines. To assist industrial designers in their work, Solidworks Industrial Designer provides two primary tools: One for free-form sketching, the other for 3D mesh modeling. In free-form sketching mode (figure 1), Solidworks Industrial Designer handles two types of sketch lines: 2D raster (which it calls “concept curves”) and vector curves (called “contour curves”). The difference between them is that concept curves are more expressive, but can’t immediately be used for modeling; contour curves are less flexible splines, but can be edited through control points and then be used for 3D modeling. But we’re not stuck: Solidworks Industrial Designer can convert the raster concept curves to geometric contours. Mice are terrible at sketching, and so we lay out sketches on 2D planes and 3D surfaces using our computer’s touch screen, or else with a separate tablet, like the ones from Wacom — although pressure is not supported. Parametric sketches can be drawn from simple entities like lines, rectangles, arcs and circles, while 3D sketches can be drawn on surfaces, and then edited using commands we expect to find in a CAD program, like trim, fillet and offset. With the exterior shape of the object roughed out, the next step is to turn sketches into 3D models. Spline-based contours used to construct 3D models by extruding them or else turning them in sub-d (sub-division) surface meshes. I found that many commands for editing sub-d meshes are just like the ones available in AutoCAD since 2009 as well as other www.design-engineering.com

Figure 2: ...3D renders composed of sub-D meshes or solid models

Teamcenter is the world’s most widely used PLM system. With Teamcenter companies achieve: MCAD programs — split face, sharpen, smooth, and so on. As is common in most MCAD programs, open sketches are extruded into surfaces, while closed one are extruded into solid models. But you can toggle between them, so that a closed sketch instead becomes an open 3D surface or one with thick walls. The location and size of the geometry can be controlled with parametrics. As well, 3D models can be directly edited. As the models near completion, Solidworks Industrial Designer can create renderings of them (figure 2). So, we have made our snazzy 3D model from those initial idea sketches. Now what? That’s a question Dassault does not answer, as I explain later. UI Elements The software has several user interface ele-

ments that I really liked the look of. For example, pressing the space bar displays all of the sketch planes; choose one on which to work. Pressing either of the bracket keys makes sketches wider and thinner. Using the eraser tool removes parts of sketches interactively, like rubbing a real eraser on a chalkboard — it replaces break and split commands that can sometimes be tough to figure out. When the feature tree is hidden, a “bread crumb trail” replaces it, showing in one line the currently-selected feature and its modifications. When editing directly, the ruler has two increments: Slide the cursor along the left edge for finer increments of distance, or else along the right edge for coarser increments. (See Figure 3.) Then there are the unusual bits of the user interface. In general, the interface follows the layout of CATIA and Dassault’s

16 CADReport other V6 software. For example, a ribbon-like toolbar is located at the bottom of the screen, instead of along the top, where Windows users would expect it. There is no file manager, because all models are stored in a single ENOVIA database. Instead, we enter a search for the name of a previous project, and then choose from the returned results – or else start from scratch. Dassault touts the program’s built-in social media center, whereby the design staff and customers “can” give their feedback. (I explain the quote marks around “can” later.) All the comments and markups are kept with the proposed designs, an advantage of the ENOVIA database.

When it comes time to move our lovinglycreated and customer-approved 3D model from Solidworks Industrial Designer to Solidworks, it turns into a dumb solid – exactly the data incompatibility the brochure warns against. Parametrics, dimensions and meta data are lost. We have to rebuild the model in Solidworks. The problem is the same going the other way: Complex, history-based, parametric models from Solidworks – or nearly any other MCAD system – come into Solidworks Industrial Designer as simple bodies. (The exceptions are other 3DEXPERIENCE-based programs, like Solidworks Conceptual Designer.) It accepts common raster formats, like TIFF, PNG Figure 3: Direct editing toolset showing the triad, ruler, and menu bar and JPEG, and imports 2D drawings from DXF and DWG files.

CADReport 17 once dreamed of eliminating files through the failed Windows update code-named “Longhorn.”). The result for 3DEXPERIENCE users is that traditional concepts like “assemblies with parts” go away; everything is called a “product.” The result for non-3DEXPERIENCE software, however, is that file translation becomes a nightmare. As one Solidworks user wrote in dismay on the Solidsmack.com comments section, “We are dealing with a brand new [3DEXPERIENCE] product/ app line from Dassault Systemes that does not integrate with anything, but itself. There are no workflows that allow my company to leverage all the IP [intellectual property] built into our Solidworks data, automation systems we invested in (like DriveWorks and DWLive), and enterprise systems based on EPDM [electronic product data management] structures and APIs [application programming interfaces].” And that’s why Solidworks is file-incompatible with Solidworks Industrial Designer. But you won’t hear it from Dassault, as it sidesteps the issue with wording like this: “Powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, [Solidworks Industrial Designer] works alone or combined with Solidworks Conceptual Designer to... complement Solidworks 3D CAD software.” Pricing Solidworks Industrial Designer is rented on a monthly basis at $190 per user. This is useful when we use the software only

occasionally; annually, the price is U.S.$2,280. It used to be U.S.$3,600/year, but Dassault reacted to customers’ complaints. I wonder if the price might fall further, now that Autodesk has slashed the price of Fusion 360 Ultimate to U.S.$300/year. Earlier, I wrote that other people “can” give feedback through Solidworks Industrial Designer’s social media section. The catch, however, is that Dassault does not provide free view-only or markup versions of the software, as we might expect. Everyone involved has to sign up with Dassault to pay that $190 per user per month. In CATIA V6, Dassault probably has the most powerful CAD system in the world, and it is keen to give several million Solidworks users access to its functions. With the new Solidworks Designer series, Dassault is constructing a rough bridge between the future (via its 3DEXPERIENCE-based V6 software) and the past, Windows-based Solidworks. The feature set and capabilities of Solidworks Industrial Designer are exciting. But other than sharing a name with Solidworks and being sold by Solidworks resellers, the new software unhappily has as little in common with Solidworks as do competitors like Fusion or Creo. The software became available last April. For a demo, you need to contact a Solidworks reseller. DE www.solidworks.com

TRUCKIN’ Down Under New Zealand design firm adapts American trucks for righthand drivers using reverse engineering and 3D printing.

ew Zealanders love Chevy and GM trucks as much as anyone, maybe more so given the rugged island nation’s historic reliance on the agricultural, ranching and mining sectors. But owning a Silverado or RAM pickup on the former British colony poses a problem. Driving on the left-hand side of the road requires a conversion of these American vehicles to a right-handed steering column, which in turn means other systems need to be redesigned or heavily modified. Enter New Zealand-based 3D Hub Ltd., a product development company specializing in mechanical products that help companies turn ideas into products using reverse engineering, 3D printing and computer-aided engineering (CAE). Among its many projects, 3D Hub has played a central role in adapting American left-hand vehicles for right-hand drivers in New Zealand and Australia. To do that, the mechanical design firm now uses 3D scanning as part of its service catalogue, which includes industrial and mechanical design, reverse engineering, structural optimization, prototyping, CAD modeling and finite element analysis (FEA). Recently, 3D Hub was called upon to convert a left-hand heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit into a righthand unit to fit the modified interiors of Chevrolet and GMC trucks. The main challenge was the reverse engineering aspect to the project. The team wanted to develop a right-hand HVAC unit by acquiring the 3D measurements of the current left-hand components and integrating them within a CAD environment so that the designs could be converted and then manufactured via the company’s 3D printing processes. “All the complex functionalities had to fit into a right-hand space that was smaller than the original left-hand HVAC unit,” explained Craig Russell, director and mechanical engineer at 3D Hub. “Moreover, the reusable components, such as fans, sensors, servo motors, airflow flaps, etc. had to be integrated in the CAD design.” Converting the HVAC The HVAC unit was one of a number of components (dashboard, steering column, electrical) that were to be converted for the opposite layout. This was not going to be a simple mirror image. The first step was to disassemble the truck. The original dashboard was cut into critical sections (glove box, centre console, etc.) and moved to their new positions on the right-hand-side of the vehicle. The dashboard components were mounted onto the dashboard support bar and then removed as one from the September | 2015

vehicle. The dashboard pieces were then joined, hand-shaped and formed to create the final dashboard. From this final shape, a plug was made to create future fiberglass dashboards. Meanwhile, the steering wheel and column were removed and repositioned to fit in the opposite side of the engine bay. With the dash removed, the original HVAC unit could be removed and the firewall accessed for 3D scanning. First, positioning targets (datum targets) were applied to the firewall surface. Note that, for this proj- The process of converting to a right-hand ect, the positioning HVAC unit in Chevy and GMC trucks required targets would not be a multi-step process from 3D scanning (top) removed before the to 3D printing a reversed assembly (bottom). end of the project: They would prove useful for precise positioning and alignment later in the development process. Reverse Engineering and 3D Printing With the HVAC removed, it could be reverse engineered. 3D Hub began 3D scanning the HVAC. The 3D scan data was then used to lay out the new HVAC with its major components. The recirculation unit was positioned in the vehicle to verify fit and final placement. Once it was in the final position, it was scanned relative to the original positioning targets on the firewall. This data was brought into the CAD environment in exactly the same place; no alignment was necessary thanks to the retained positioning targets throughout the project, which significantly reduced processing time. Once the reformed dashboard was completed and positioned www.design-engineering.com

CADBeat in the vehicle, 3D scanning enabled operators to inspect the underside of the dashboard with the electronics and ducting in place. The scanned data was aligned to the original target location on the firewall. The HVAC unit could then be checked that it cleared critical components like dash bar, glove box etc. The converted HVAC unit was then ready to be 3D printed in SLS nylon. The prototype was mounted and tested in the vehicle. Due to the accurate scanning data, only minor adjustments needed to be made before a final product could be manufactured and perform to the same high standards as the OEM unit. To perform the scan, 3D Hub used the HandySCAN 3D from Creaform. It’s flexibility, auto-positioning and fast and accurate localization of the part ensured by the positioning targets was key in selecting the equipment to carry out this project. Although this reverse engineering project could have been carried out using other 3D scanning technologies, it would have certainly required a longer preparation time, says 3D Hub’s head engineer. “The ability to scan anywhere, move the parts during the scanning process, and split the job up over periods of time was what made us choose the HandySCAN 3D,” explained Russell. “Scanning is now an integrated part of our design development process. This particular reverse engineering project and the outcome for the customer led to a referral to another company who does similar work in Australia.”

3D Hub’s initial work with the HandySCAN 3D clearly demonstrates how the scanner can be easily and effectively used for all types of reverse engineering projects, including those that involve subsequent 3D printing of the components to accelerate the overall manufacturing process.

The Life AQUATIC Astronauts working in the NASA Extreme Environment Operations (NEEMO) mission use Shark Marine Technologies’ MAKO Diver Delivery System to get around the Aquarius Reef Base underwater habitat and simulate zero gravity environments.

St. Catharines-based Shark Marine Technologies’ unique aquatic devices guide divers through murky waters. By Mike McLeod

ypically, when you envision a demolition disposal expert, they’re either encased in bulky explosion-proof armor or gripping a pair of wire clippers feverishly deciding whether to snip the red wire or the blue wire. However, for elite naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians, who are commonly called upon to defuse underwater mines and hull mounted bombs, finding and working on an explosive in murky water or at night is challenging enough, never mind what color the wire is. “The old way to doing that was literally the braille method, which meant feeling your way with your hands,” says Jim Garrington, president and CEO of Shark Marine Technologies. “So when you give a diver the ability to see underwater and know where they are, it’s a huge safety advantage.” Since 1983, Garrington and his engineering team at the St. Catherine’s-based firm have been developing state-of-the-art underwater cameras, hand-held navigation/sonar systems, diver delivery sleds and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) specifically designed to help guide special forces, police search and rescue crews and research scientists through low visibility and disorienting underwater environments. “We like to design things that don’t exist,” says Garrington. “Designing something that does exist is something we do only when we need to.” Foremost among Shark Marine’s breakthrough devices is the Navigator, a combination hand-held sonar and underwater September | 2015

26-27-DES.indd 26

navigation system, originally developed for search and rescue teams in 2006. At its most basic, Garrington says the relatively small unit is an underwater Windows 7 computer connected to sonar and other sensors and a flotation Shark Marine’s Navigator system helps military block to keep the unit and rescue divers navigate and sonar scan their buoyancy neutral surroundings in dark and turbid waters. while diving. Via the Navigator’s display, its multi-beam sonar package delivers ultrasound-like video of the surrounding terrain and objects. “Depending on the unit, the furthest distance one can see is about 300 meters or 1000 feet, but keep in mind you’d better be looking for something big at that distance,” Garrington says. “We also have units at a very high frequency where you can put your hand in front of the unit and watch your fingers move. That’s great in zero visibility for guiding your hand to a particular spot. For those working on underwater mines, it’s certainly an asset.” In addition to sonar, the modular Navigator can also seamlessly switch between multiple navigation options, including floating GPS, long baseline (LBL) acoustic positioning and Doppler navigation. Using the company’s in-house DiveLog software, divers www.design-engineering.com

15-08-26 1:52 PM

CanadianInnovator can not only pinpoint their position, but also follow directions to a locations or perform grid searches over charts or satellite maps. According to Garrington, the real potential of the Navigator and DiveLog software is realized when it’s paired with Shark Marine’s other singular device, the Mako Diver Delivery System. Similar in concept to other diver propulsion vehicles, the unit’s four, six or eight independent thrusters help reduce the fatigue of swimming long distances. However, unlike its namesake, the Mako DDS doesn’t have to constantly move forward. “It’s more like a helicopter than an airplane,” Garrington explains. “With other units, when you stop, they drop and the diver is the one actually steering it. What we came up with is a unit that had the capability of five axes of motion; it can stop, hover, and go backwards or sideways as well as up and down in the water column. In short, it has a tremendous amount of control, more than anything out there.” In fact, with the Navigator system serving as its brain, the Mako DSS becomes more of an underwater drone that can operate without a diver. This capability, Garrington says, makes it useful for a number of diverse missions. “We can actually send the Mako DDS in with the diver, drop them off and then have it come back again,” he says. “For that matter, it can deliver cargo to onshore personnel underwater or, in the case of an shoreline extraction, it can go in, rendezvous with them and bring them back to a ship beyond the horizon.”

To date, Garrington says 16 NATO and NATO-friendly navies around the world, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia, rely on the company’s technology in one form or another. That military contract winning streak has also propelled the small Ontario firm onto Canadian Defence Review’s Top 50 Canadian Defence Companies for the first time this year—a short list of Canada’s innovative contractors including CAE, Bombardier Aerospace and Irving Shipbuilding. In the future, Garrington says the company will continue to develop aquatic equipment controlled by the company’s DiveLog software, including Shark Marine’s SeaWolf and D.A.S. Boat ROV lines and adapting their equipment to customer needs. Most recently, NASA integrated Shark Marine’s equipment into the its NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Operations) project, a multi-mission initiative in which astronauts and engineers live in an underwater habitat called Aquarius to simulate conditions in zero gravity and prepare for future space exploration. “There was a time, when underwater equipment like this required a Ph.D. to operate,” Garrington says. “Our goal is make it so I can tell someone what to do in three minutes, have them hop in the water and be able navigate to and document a target. We just want to make it really easy for the divers, especially the military divers, because they have a lot of other more important things they are trying to do.” DE www.sharkmarine.com

Clearpath opens Silicon Valley office

Matt Randall, CEO of Clearpath Robotics (Photo Credit: Yves L acombe)

Kitchener, ON-based Clearpath Robotics’s CEO, Matt Randall, announced the company will open a product design office in Silicon Valley, California, before the end of the year. To head the new location, the driverless robotic vehicle firm’s first outside of Ontario, Clearpath has hired Mike Hanuschik as its new chief product officer. As such, he will lead product strategy, product management, design and branding for Clearpath. Before landing at Clearpath, Hanuschik spent fourteen-years at Intuitive Surgical where he led the design and product management of the daVinci Surgical System, a sophisticated surgical robotics platform that performs more than 500,000 minimally invasive major surgeries per year. Founded in 2009, Clearpath has grown to 80 people and plans to grow to 120 employees by the end of the year. The company says the new office will allow Clearpath to access the Bay Area’s talent pool to help fuel this growth. www.clearpathrobotics.com

MotionControl: News U.S. Army testing exoskeleton arm to train marksmen

Computer-simulated modeling of the MAXFAS cables, which attach from behind to enable the sensor to feel and adjust the slightest of arm movement.

Mechanical engineers at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory say they are testing an exoskeleton arm called MAXFAS in hopes of training new soldiers’ combat skills faster and generally improve marksmanship on the battlefield. Constructed of carbon fibre to keep added weight to a minimum, the exoskeleton uses motors, mounted behind a solder’s shoulder, to pull on cables running down the length of

the arm. Sensors in the harness pick-up accuracy-reducing muscle tremors caused by fatigue and instruct the motors to counteract the effect by tensing or releasing the wires. The end result is improved firearms proficiency, the army researchers say, as MAXFAS has already shown potential to correct arm tremors in the laboratory. According to Dan Baechle, the mechanical engineer leading the project at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, initial shooting trials showed arm muscle tremors were reduced in test subjects who wore MAXFAS, even after removing the device. Baechle believes the project shows promise since fatigue, involuntary tremors and difficult situations, like shooting under fire, will continue to degrade shooting performance in soldiers as more advanced weapons technology emerges. “My vision is that one day, a more mature version of MAXFAS could be used to improve aim on the battlefield despite any adverse conditions,” he said. www.arl.army.mil

The Husky HyPET HPP5 successfully builds on the proven technology of the long-running HyPET platform by adding more functionality that enables end users to lower their total cost to produce while ensuring optimum preform quality.

Husky pumps new life into PC-based injection molding machines via industrial Ethernet.

hether your go-to beverage is soda, water, tea or juice, it’s almost certain that the plastic bottle that protects your drink started out as a “preform.” Looking much like plastic test tubes with a threaded neck for bottle caps, preforms are manufactured by the millions using injection molding machines. Preforms are then loaded into stretch blow molding machines that shape them into the familiar finished bottle shape. Responsible for manufacturing preforms for an enormous share of the world’s PET plastic bottles, Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. is a leading global manufacturer of injection molding machines, hot runners, molds and integrated systems. Based in Bolton, Ontario, the company has manufacturing facilities in Canada, the United States, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, China and the Czech Republic. With one of the broadest product lines in the industry, Husky equipment is used to manufacture a wide range of plastic products such as bottles and caps for beverages, as well as plastic parts for the medical industry. The company provides clients in numerous industries the complete injection molding solution – including the machines, tooling and auxiliaries. PC-based Machine Control In addition to its position as the top manufacturer of injection molding systems, Husky has also been one of the world’s leading users of PC-based control from Beckhoff Automation since the late 1990s, with several thousand systems in the field. “We stress a value-add approach to system design that leverages leading edge automation technologies,” explains Paul Commisso, global marketing and communications manager. Husky has also built a strong after-market retrofit program to serve customers with older Husky machines. Called ENCORE, the program helps customers upgrade to modern PC-based control without having to purchase a new machine. “We have built generation after generation of PC-based September | 2015

control systems and reliable performance is firmly established with over 15 years of continuity using PC-based control architectures,” says Endel Mell, electrical design team leader. “Over our long term business partnership, Husky has enjoyed excellent technical support from management and product developers at Beckhoff as well as the technical services and support staff worldwide, especially in Germany, North America and in China.” A major trend in the injection molding industry is the reduction of raw materials used while ensuring top product quality, which unsurprisingly requires continuous advancement in automation technology. “Through best-in-class system design, Husky maintains top part quality in the industry,” states Roman Pirog, director of development engineering. “We design the system and the automation around the part and create specialized solutions as a result. This ensures the best possible throughput, efficiency in materials use and part quality.” Using automation technology to strike this balance between quality and efficient use of plastic resources is a major reason why most end users continue going to Husky for leading-edge injection molding solutions. The company strives to increase this efficiency along with ease-of-use for all systems and equipment; this holds true for the company’s latest perform injection moulding machine. “The Husky HyPET HPP5 successfully builds on the proven technology of the long-running HyPET platform by adding more functionality that enables end users to lower their total cost to produce while ensuring best-in-class preform quality,” Commisso says. Multi-Core Boost Husky machines are introduced to the market with continually upgraded features that are strategically designed to anticipate and respond to market demands. As such, the HyPET HPP5 is the latest evolution. www.design-engineering.com

ROUNDTABLE Motion control industry leaders discuss the Canadian economy, MC market trends and Industry 4.0. DE: According to the Motion Control Association, the industry grew by nearly 10 percent in 2014, a record year. From your perspective, how is 2015 shaping up? Udayan Pandya – Director Factory Automation and Motion Control, Siemens Canada: For the motion control business, the 2015 calendar year has been flat. In 2013 and 2014, the overall motion control market in Canada grew in double digits, in the range of about 10 to 11 percent. I think the main contributor was the boom in oil and gas and the mining projects. Now that the verticals focused on the resource sector have cooled down, we anticipate the overall motion control market in Canada to be flat or experience a moderate decline in the range of 2 to 3 percent compared to 2014. Joe Ottenhof – General Manager, Beckhoff Automation Canada: Like some other companies, Beckhoff had a very good year in 2014 and reported double digit year-over-year growth. However, I would say that we will be hard pressed to see similar performance in 2015. We’re not directly driven by the oil and gas industry, but it’s such a dominant sector in the Canadian economy that it affects all sectors. Consumer confidence goes down and so people are less inclined to buy manufactured goods, which of course is our focus. We hope the declining dollar will offset that this year and we do anticipate a rebound in 2016 as Canadian manufacturing reaps labour value gains. Mark McCann, P.Eng – Engineering Manager, Myostat Motion Control: For us, 2015 has been good. Myostat has seen more than 10 percent growth this year. It seems like more and more September | 2015

38-41-MOCO-DES.indd 38

automation is being used in development and production and I expect that trend to continue this year. A big part of that is the strengthening of the U.S. economy. We have seen a couple of old projects resurrected, because of the growth happening there, while our other business is staying constant or increasing slightly. With the availability of information on components, more and more people are able to do research and see how others are automating and that is encouraging smaller companies to begin automating. Tyron Penton – Sales Manager, Advanced Motion & Controls Canada: We had a pretty good year last year with motion control and this year we are trending slightly ahead of last year. Overall the company is having one of its best years ever. That’s due, in part, to a new collaborative robot line from Universal Robots. It has a competitive edge in that it’s very easy to program and works safely around people so you don’t

MotionControl have to put guarding around it, provided the risk assessment says it is safe to do so, of course. The biggest market so far for this has been CNC machine tending; a lot of the smaller CNC shops are now looking at these because they see the benefit of its ease of use in those pick and place applications. DE: Which products or product categories are experiencing the most growth and/or shrinkage? Pandya – Siemens: Looking at motion control overall, the industry is split into different segments based on voltage rating and horsepower. For example, the Electro-Federation Canada recognizes various categories including 0-5hp, 6-25hp, 26-100hp, 101-300hp and then everything else is 300hp and up. In the specific product categories then, we have specifically seen a decline in motion control drives above 100hp in 2015, largely due to the slowdown in the resource industries. But to compensate, there has been a bit of an increase in 6-25hp and 26-100hp drives. Also, on the control side, when you look at products like PLCs and HMIs for example, there has been a moderate growth as well. Ottenhof – Beckhoff: In the automation sector, very small (<200Watt) servo drives and motors are close to matching

stepper drives in price while providing significant performance advantages. Replacing steppers with servo technology provides an obvious performance boost that machine builders can take advantage of to create new machine designs that are smarter, smaller and better performing. The compact electronics in these new technologies mean that motion can even become a part of the I/O system via terminals that directly connect to the motors. We’re also seeing fewer required mechanical components as linear transport technologies are poised to take the place conventional conveying lines.

15-08-27 10:33 AM

MotionControl McCann –Myostat: Although we do sell open loop steppers and drives, we focus on integrated steppers, servos and drives and that category has seen growth. I think more and more people are looking for an integrated system, depending on the application. There is some concern that just the encoder, drive or motor will fail and require that the whole system be replaced, but that is being outweighed by the ease-of-use and purchasing simplicity of an integrated system. Penton – Advanced Motion: We’re seeing a lot of applications with OMRON’s NJ series Machine Automation Controller as well as the servo line that goes with it. It’s popularity is based on the fact that it uses standardized IEC software that most programmers would feel comfortable with since the programming is very familiar. We are also seeing a lot more interest in electric actuators. We’ve been an SMC pneumatics distributor for more than 25 years so we sell a lot of air cylinders. However, even SMC is seeing the trend and are manufacturing their own electric cylinders based on the same body style so users can have drop-in replacements for their pneumatic cylinders. DE: Given current trends, the U.S. dollar seems to be strengthening as the Canadian dollar weakens. If it continues or holds steady, will this shift in exchange rate positively or negatively affect the industry in Canada? Pandya – Siemens: The weakness in the Canadian dollar will have a positive impact overall. It’s really a gift to Canadian manufacturers and exporters because we now have a 30 percent price advantage compared to U.S. or European manufacturers. So this will be a tonic for the non-resource manufacturing sectors especially for the tier 1 and tier 2 automotive manufacturers in Ontario. At the same time, other industries like packaging, the machine builders, and also some of the infrastructure projects, will also be helped. Ottenhof – Beckhoff: As I said earlier, we think the exchange rate will eventually have a positive impact on Canadian manufacturing; the lower dollar means lower labour content in manufactured products. This will be particularly true for companies that can source raw materials in Canada and thus pay in CAD rather than more expensive USD. For companies sourcing mate-

“Industry 4.0 is definitely moving forward and I don’t think there is a danger in another protocol war coming. As far as there being an all-encompassing standard that will have everyone on the same thing, I can’t see that happening that easily.” — Mark McCann, P.Eng, Myostat Motion

38-41-MOCO-DES.indd 40

rial outside the country, any advantage will depend on a mix of material and labour. This should drive companies to be more efficient in engineering by adopting advanced development tools and standardized programming environments instead of proprietary platforms and software. McCann –Myostat: It’s a two-sided question, depending on whether you’re importing or exporting. For people exporting to the U.S., it will definitely have a positive impact. If you’re selling anything into the U.S., whether its components, design or manufactured good, you’ve got labor costs and fixed overhead but they’re essentially less expensive now; all your margins are increasing because you’re selling in U.S. dollars. Also playing into this is the fact that the Canadian dollar has stayed more stable against other currencies. If you can be sourcing components from outside the U.S., such as from Asia or Europe, and then value add into the U.S., there is a definite advantage. It all comes down to how you’re handling the U.S. dollar. Penton – Advanced Motion: It has been very positive. Our machine building clients are very busy. Most of them are building Tier 1 and Tier 2 assembly lines for delivery to Mexico and the U.S. They are still building automation equipment for use in Canada as well, but a lot of the biggest assembly lines are ending up outside of Canada. In fact, a lot of our machine building clients have expanded and are constantly looking for people. DE: Are the protocols that will enable Industry 4.0 or the Industrial Internet developing toward an open standard or is the situation in danger of becoming another “protocol war”? Pandya – Siemens: I really don’t see this as another protocol war. Contrary to the different fieldbuses that we had in the past, there will be a more collaborative approach, because the driving concept is: How do we create value for clients? And no matter whether standards develop in Europe or the U.S., ultimately people will have to see that the digital world and the real world have to converge. Companies will have to adapt to that convergence so they can help customers respond faster to the market, at a reduced cost, while allowing for flexibility in the manufacturing environment. To accomplish those three things, they cannot work only in silos; they will have to work in a more collaborative way to leverage the strengths of each other and give value to customers. Ottenhof – Beckhoff: It would be safe to say that Industry 4.0 is nothing if not misunderstood. However, it’s unmistakable that the concept has passed a significant test: People are talking about it. So, for the most part, we as an industry have a ways to go in popularly defining standards and terminology, but at least there’s a dialog. And that really is a very important development. In the same vein, the so-called ‘protocol wars’ weren’t a bad thing. Quite the contrary. As a result, the industry developed a level of connectivity based on various Ethernet-based protocols that continues to modernize manufacturing. We are confident that while OPC UA, for example, has received different opinions as a www.design-engineering.com

15-08-27 10:33 AM

MotionControl “cornerstone” enabling technology of Industry 4.0, it will ultimately be influential as this manufacturing revolution takes hold. Despite some efforts to extend proprietary hardware-driven solutions and thinking, we continue to see the development of software standards and protocols that are open and driven from the grassroots. The upcoming OPC UA conference from the OPC Foundation to be held on September 24th in Toronto should be telling. McCann –Myostat: Industry 4.0 is definitely moving forward and I don’t think there is a danger in another protocol war coming. As far as there being an all-encompassing standard that will have everyone on the same thing, I can’t see that happening that easily. At the same time, I see that IIOT and Industry 4.0 itself will move forward; people are looking to connect components together in that manner. If there were a protocol war, it might slow things down here and there, but the concept will still move forward. We are seeing more and more people who are interested in connecting our motors to a larger system just for information feedback and metrics. Penton – Advanced Motion: I think it’s getting close. In terms of the Industrial Internet of Things, how you communicate to and from a servo or a drive, for example, doesn’t really matter, as long as the information needed is getting to a central data hub.

“We are also seeing a lot more interest in electric actuators. We’ve been an SMC pneumatics distributor for more than 25 years so we sell a lot of air cylinders. However, even SMC is seeing the trend and are manufacturing their own electric cylinders based on the same body style” — Tyron Penton, Advanced Motion & Controls Canada

Most automation and control manufacturers will continue to use their own protocols such as EtherCat, EtherNet I/P, ProfiNet, etc for control of the factory floor. In other words, all of that information has to be gathered from the factory floor to a main center, so how that information gets there isn’t important. It’s all about how you get from where all the data is collected to outside the factory. And that will stay the same, as long as everyone has a way to communicate to the outside world through the Internet. Most platforms have a connection to ERP systems or enterprise servers using Ethernet/IP even though communication to the device level may be using a different protocol. DE

Smart sensors enable detection and ranging for the Industrial Internet of Things and beyond. By Stéphane Duquet

onnected devices already outnumber the world’s population by 1.5 to 1. Cisco estimates that, by 2020, the Internet of Things (IoT) will connect 50 billion smart objects to the network. The IoT consists of things, objects, devices or machines that are connected to the Internet over fixed and wireless networks in order to collect data and share it with other devices. A key enabler for IoT is the development of next-generation sensors that provide a wealth of quality data from which to build new applications and capabilities. Their small footprint, low cost, low power consumption, high reliability and adaptability allows for easy integration into a variety of devices. Smart Sensors To better understand the role of smart sensors in the IoT, let’s first define the smart sensor. What makes a smart sensor “smart”

is its onboard signal/data-processing capabilities. According to PC Magazine, a smart sensor “includes a microprocessor that conditions the signals before transmission to the control network. It filters out unwanted noise and compensates for errors before sending the data. Some sensors can be custom-programmed to produce alerts on their own when critical limits are reached.” They often integrate VLSI technology and MEMS devices to reduce cost and optimize integration. Sensors are very closely linked to the IoT, as its core function is to collect valuable data, and the IoT will be built around autonomous sensors with radio communication capabilities. As such, an IoT sensing device requires at least three elements: Sensor(s), microcontrollers and connectivity to the Internet, as shown in the figure 1. Hence, the IoT can collect large amounts of quality, sensorbased data anytime and from anywhere, and transmit it over a network in real time. This provides enhanced awareness of our immediate or remote environment, bringing forth opportunities for faster and better decision-making, as well as gains in efficiency and productivity. Remote Sensing An important sensing category for the IoT is remote sensing, as it consists of acquiring information about an object without making physical contact with it; the object can be nearby or several hundred meters away (or further for longer-range applications). Multiple technology options are available for remote sensing, and they can be divided into three broad functions: • Presence or proximity detection – when just determining the absence or presence of an object is sufficient (e.g., security applications). This is the simplest form of remote sensing. • Speed measurement – when the exact position of an object is not required, but accurate speed is (e.g., law enforcement applications). www.design-engineering.com

Smart DAR Now, let’s review some of the main DAR technologies and how they compare to each other. The first step is to distinguish between passive and active approaches. Although it is possible to obtain distance information with passive technologies (e.g., stereo triangulation of camera images), active technologies are more common. These involve sending a pulse towards an object, collecting the echo signal and analyzing it to determine the position of one or several items located in the sensor’s field of view. Since energy is intentionally emitted towards the initial object, they are considered “active”. While some active technologies rely on the geometric location of the return echo to infer position information, others rely on the time characteristic of the return echo. These are generally known as time-of-flight measurement technologies. Although the implementation September | 2015

sampling rate, resolution, and signal-tonoise ratio of this sampled signal, producing a higher range-to-power ratio. Finally, it analyzes the resulting discrete-time signal and recovers the distance for every object. Implemented in standard submicron CMOS processes, Leddar becomes the LeddarCore, a low-power sensor core that will maximize the performance of any optical time-of-flight sensor. Some of the advantages of Leddar are its high sensitivity, immunity to noise and powerful data extraction capabilities. Leddar can also extract the distance for every object found in the field of view. Its unique ability to leverage a diffuse light beam (such as the one produced by LEDs) allows it to cover a wide area at once. The technology applies to sensors built with either a single detection element to perform a dedicated measurement, or with multi-element arrays, which could be used to build 2D or 3D sensors with fast, parallel measurement and no moving parts, making the technology both highly versatile and robust. Leddar provides three important benefits when developing DAR applications: A higher range-to-power ratio, the ability to detect targets in low visibility and the

ability to resolve multiple targets at once. With its high efficiency and simple, flexible design, Leddar sensors can be easily integrated into a small footprint at a reasonable price while delivering consistent performance and reliability. Together, this makes Leddar ideally suited to ultra-highvolume deployments, fostering new possibilities for IoT applications. The IoT will soon interconnect all types of devices across numerous industries. With its expected growth, ubiquity and potential to reshape our daily lives, many anticipate this trend will also lead to an explosion of the sensors market. It is projected that a trillion sensors will be deployed yearly within the next decade, and that up to 45 trillion sensors will be networked in 20 years. Rapid advancements in sensing are only reinforcing this movement. Smart sensors may represent just a small part of the IoT, but they will definitely play a vital role in its deployment and represent a key enabler for many new applications. DE www.leddartech.com

RIDING the RAILS

NASA’s experimental radar range receives a high precision overhaul using custom linear guide rails.

This CAD drawing of the Experimental Test Range (ETR), designed for the NASA Langley Research Center by ADC USA, Inc., shows the design’s full 111-foot Rail Positioning System, including switching station and radar range.

By Larry Hansen

DC USA, Inc., located near Cornell University, is a leading developer and supplier of complex, high-precision motion systems and instruments for large government laboratories and corporations around the world. The Ithaca, New York-based company has been in business for 18 years and has grown into one of world’s leading technology companies with an ISO9001:2008 certification and more than 500 customers located in over 26 countries. Even so, when the firm received a NASA RFQ to refurbish and upgrade the space agency’s old indoor radar range, ADC knew they had their work cut out for them. The request was for the design, build and install of the major components for a 40x40x40-foot indoor radar range; however, the provided information was equivalent to a “back of a napkin” design. As described by Eric Van Every, director of operations for ADC USA, Inc. NASA wanted “to put multiple targets inside the radar range without having to get a forklift to bring them September | 2015

in and out. Not only things such as an airplane but really anything that is detected by radar.” Called the Experimental Test Range, or ETR, the indoor test facility measures Radar Cross Section (RCS) and antenna measurement range. Ultimately, it will include specialized active antennas, microwave circuits and devices that are governed by underlying electromagnetic physics. But since RCS is a strong function of the orientation of the radar and target, positioning the target accurately within the radar range is crucial to the whole measurement process. And therein lay ADC’s most critical requirement. They had to build a transportation system in to and out of the radar range that provided absolutely accurate positioning. The positioning system that ADC developed solved all the problems the project posed. To bring targets in and out of the radar range, they proposed a railroad track, approximately 110 feet long, that begin in the model prep area of the facility and ended 10 feet past the center of the radar test chamber. Carriages, running along the track, would be supported by linear guide www.design-engineering.com

rails and positioned with a rack and pinion drive. With total capacity of 7,300 lbs., the rail system would allow NASA to roll targets into the range and shoot it with radar to see what the cross-section looks like. In addition, because NASA wanted to put multiple targets inside the radar range without having to get a forklift to bring them in and out, ADC also designed a switching station – or turntable similar to those for railroad trains – outside the perimeter of the range. Targets atop track sections move on and off the turntable, which could then turn to align that track section with the 110foot long track that would bring them into the radar range. Curved linear guide rails support the switching station so that the platform can be rotated manually. Hardened tapered pins are used to align the switching station with mating rail segments. The design also includes a place to dock positioning components when they are not in use. Accuracy Requirements Given the needs of the radar facility, ADC was particularly concerned about the positioning accuracy requirements. They tested several vendors’ linear guides and blocks that would carry the target platforms. “I like to have two to three vendors,” Van Every said. “But NB is definitely the Mercedes Benz of equipment. They really are.” To support the weight put on the rail system, NB Corporation machined 2-inch diameter custom rails, made from case hardened steel shafts (SFW 32x48 PD) that have tapered ends to improve transfer across the switching station platform. The rails are supported by NB shaft supports (WA 32-48 PD), which are

precision machined aluminum extrusions. They offer continuous shaft support and consistent shaft centerline. Spacing between sections is equal to the pitch of the rack so that transfer is completely motorized. “Speed was not as important as the accuracy,” Van Every said. “We have over 4,000 pounds that’s going to be moved on these rails. It had to have laser encoded tracking accuracy. To find out where down the railroad tracks the target is, we use a WayCon LLD-150-Profibus laser encoder. It’s accurate to 0.05 inches, which is approximately 1.27 millimeters. That’s the accuracy over the approximately 110 feet.” Again, NB Corporation’s products proved up to the challenge. To provide the needed accuracy, NB TOPBALL Slide Units were chosen (NB TWD 32UU) which include a clear, anodized corrosion resistant aluminum block and a TOPBALL self-aligning

Their open style incorporates bottom plates and mounting screws to retain bushings in the proper position. All styles are provided with standard machined reference edges for proper alignment and installation. The Unique Challenge Ultimately, ADC’s design did win the contest and they are close to completion of this collaboration with NASA. According to Van Every, the most challenging part of NB’s TOPBALL Slide Units provided the ETR with the accuracy necessary for radar the project was the engineering, especially, mechanically testing. engineering it to handle the load and meet the NASA requirements. past my retirement.” “In particular, the one thing that had never been built this In addition to the design, ADC will also be assembling the way is that switching station; that was unexpected,” he says. radar range. They’ll travel with it from their facility in Lansing, “But, when I got into it, even talking to NB and talking to other which is in the middle of the state of New York, down to NASA vendors, no one has done something like that before – not with Langley Research Center in Hampden, Virginia. There, NASA this capacity and this accuracy. So, that was all new ground.” will use the system to improve the end products that they are “It’s surprising because it looks like a rail car turntable,” he trying to build, whether it is a drone, an airplane or another added. “It’s one of the neatest projects that I have ever been on piece of equipment that they just don’t want found.
