WORDS

Owning the Future BY RICHARD BULLERS, CFPPS, 2017 IFPS PRESIDENT

LEADERSHIP ROLES ARE OFTEN DEFINED BY the time an individual uses to plan their actions: a worker is concerned with what they have to do for one day, the supervisor will plan next month’s work schedule, while a senior manager is responsible for the department’s yearly budget. A director will plan three to five years ahead to manage growth or change. The difference comes with ownership of the enterprise. The owner has to be a visionary, a person who is not only looking 20 years into the future to manage growth, but also has a plan to implement the changes that make it a reality. We are all supervisors, managers, and directors because we are all owners of the enterprise we call our life. Whenever we look to plan our day, manage our monthly budget, or plan a few years into our future, the distant future is also something we can stop and think about. It’s not just about paying off the mortgage; it’s an opportunity to be a visionary. So, please…stop reading these words for just a few minutes and think about what you can do, what you can leave behind, and why are you here. Think about why you are reading these words at just this moment in your life.

The worst we can think of is the root of our fears. The best we can think of is the realization of our dreams. Some people have fears about the next generation’s opportunities to get a good education, find a career, and make a decent living. None of us want our children to grow up in a world where there is a shortage of goods and services or where they cannot find a rewarding occupation. Major corporations have fears of a technology and knowledge gap. Will there be enough qualified people to fill the engineering and technology jobs of the future? Will the skills required be taught in our schools and universities? Will there be enough vocational education to teach the needed skill sets, and can those skill sets be validated? We in the International Fluid Power Society have a shared vision, a collective dream where a large number of individuals from many different occupations come together and work in harmony to ensure a better way of life for the next generation. Our common bond is the world of fluid power, and we are dedicated to a better future. As an IFPS member, you are a part of that dream. You share ownership in making the future a better place. Every time you talk about the IFPS, wear your IFPS logo, recruit a new member, share an article, or show someone our website, you are acting as a visionary and sharing in that collective dream. Thank you for all you do. If by some chance of fate you are reading this and are not an IFPS member, we invite you to discover the IFPS and join us in this noble cause.

IT OUT NEW PROBLEM

Overheating of Press with Heated Platen A SMALL HEATED PLATEN PRESS for an aerospace parts manufacturer would close and hold pressure for 1 to 3 hours based on the part being molded. When the system was first installed, it developed trouble with the oil overheating. The employees made a design change, installing a 5-psi check in the pump case drain line back to tank and a ½-psi check going to the main return line. (See the circuit showing the final design.) This modification worked just fine. When the press was in the clamped mode, the case drain would pass through the filter and heat exchanger, cooling the pump case drain during the holding phase. If the cylinder was cycled, it would cause flow and some back pressure in the main tank line and the back pressure would hold the ½-psi check closed, causing the pump case flow to divert directly to the tank over the 5-psi check. A 5-psi check was used since the shaft seal of the pump was limited to 10 psi. Every so often, the press would start overheating during the clamped cycle. The employees would lower the pressure setting on the safety relief to flush any contamination that may cause it to leak and reset it back to 3000 psi. They would change the filter element, which looked dirty, and check the water connections on the heat exchanger for flow or corrosion.

Each accumulator stand for the steel mill consisted of ten 20-gallon bag-type accumulators with Viton bags. The hydraulic system was started up and bled of all air. The system was shut down when the Nitrogen tanker showed up to precharge the accumulators. The employees found 8 bags out of the 10 were defective. When they examined one of the defective bags, they found a small hole at the top where the bag was pushed up into the gas-charging passage, punching a hole in the bag. It was an expensive lesson to learn. Never pressurize bag accumulators with hydraulic oil without a Nitrogen pre-charge.

However, Canadian manufacturing output has been very soft over the past 12 months, up just 0.4% year-over-year, and employment in the sector was down 7,500 in October and 1,500 year-over-year. In addition, the emerging markets expanded at the fastest rate since February 2015. It was the third straight month with expanding activity, rebounding after contracting in 14 of the prior 15 months. A number of markets showed relative strength in their manufacturing sectors in October, with India and Russia reaching multiyear highs on stronger demand and production activity. The Czech Republic and Taiwan also cited improved manufacturing performance for the month. At the other end of the spectrum, Indonesia returned to negative territory for the second time in the past four months (down from 50.9 to 48.7), and several other emerging markets remain stuck in contraction. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), export financing, ongoing trade negotiations, and challenges created by foreign government market-distorting activities continue to be top issues for manufacturers as Congress is set to begin its lame-duck session next week and the Obama administration seeks to complete several trade initiatives that it has undertaken. The new NAM-sought Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB) process accepted petitions until December 12, 2016.

Note: Year-to-date data in 2016 are annualized through the third quarter.

November 11, 2016 – As financial markets digest the economic and political ramifications of a Donald Trump victory in the U.S. presidential election, there will likely be some lingering uncertainties that could increase market volatility, at least in the short term. At the same time, there were some signs of progress to report in recent data, even as manufacturers continue to grapple with global headwinds. For instance, the J.P. Morgan Global Manufacturing PMI increased from 51.0 in September to 52.0 in October, its highest level since October 2014, with strong accelerations in both new orders and output. In addition, 11 of the top 15 markets for U.S.-manufactured goods had growing manufacturing sectors in October, up from seven in August and nine in September. As such, trends are moving in the right direction. The strongest manufacturing growth among our top trading partners was in the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In contrast, Brazil, Hong Kong, and South Korea remained mired in negative territory. While there have been some improvements in international trends, manufacturers have continued to struggle in growing demand overseas. Beyond soft economic growth in key markets, one of the other larger factors suppressing global sales has been the U.S. dollar, which has appreciated nearly 21% since mid-2014 against major currencies. Indeed, U.S.-manufactured goods exports have fallen 5.2% year to date in 2016 through the third quarter relative to the same time period in 2015, according to new seasonally adjusted data from TradeStats Express. Moreover, year-to-date exports were lower in eight of the top 10 markets. On the positive side, the U.S. trade deficit fell to its lowest level since February 2015. The reduced headline number stemmed from increased goods exports, fewer goods imports, and a higher service-sector trade surplus, with the latter at its highest point so far this year. As noted above, there has been continued strength in the United Kingdom’s manufacturing sector despite ongoing Brexit uncertainties. Those concerns were heightened when the U.K government lost an important ruling, which said that Theresa May’s government cannot invoke Article 50 without Parliament’s approval. Prime Minister May plans to appeal that ruling to the country’s Supreme Court, but either way, she has said that she plans to move forward with the previously outlined timetable. The process of leaving the European Union could take up to two years, meaning that the United Kingdom could be out by mid-2019. Given recent developments, the British pound has appreciated 1.7% over the past three weeks, spurred on by the court ruling. Nonetheless, the pound has fallen 19.4% since the June 23 Brexit vote. This should provide a buffer to help the British manufacturing sector and the U.K. economy (but make U.S. exports to Britain more expensive). Beyond the United Kingdom, several markets reported stronger manufacturing activity in the past month. The Caixin China General Manufacturing PMI increased to its fastest pace in more than two years on better demand the output figures. Nonetheless, there were also some lingering weaknesses, including exports and hiring, and much of the underlying data continue to reflect decelerating activity in China. Meanwhile, the Markit Eurozone manufacturing PMI rose to a 22-month high, as the continent continued to brush off post-Brexit worries. The stronger Eurozone data were buoyed by improvements in both Germany and France, with the latter growing for the first time since February and expanding at a two-and-a-half-year high. On a year-over-year basis, the Eurozone

INDOOR EXHIBITS

Energy Efficient Hydraulics and Pneumatics Conference Fluid power (hydraulics and pneumatics) is used in dozens of industries and hundreds of applications to precisely control the movement of machinery and material. Yet, many engineers and technicians working in those industries do not fully understand the design concepts critical to developing efficient fluid power systems, as well as the diagnostic and maintenance techniques essential to keeping those systems operating at peak efficiency. These concepts and techniques can result in significant energy savings for companies that use hydraulics or pneumatics, as well as the customers they serve, making fluid power a more competitive technology choice.

To help companies take advantage of these opportunities, three leading fluid power organizations—the International Fluid Power Society (IFPS), the FPDA Motion and Control Network, and the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA)—will host an educational conference at IFPE 2017. Professionals responsible for designing and/or maintaining hydraulic and pneumatic systems in mobile applications or industrial settings should plan to attend.

Fluid power has become a vital component in our ability to perform work: it harvests our crops, takes our waste to the landfill, moves the landing gear, entertains and protects us, and all with a power density and flexibility that is unmatched in any other power transfer system. However, when it comes to efficiency, fluid power systems are not very high on the list. This article series will ask us to think differently about our fluid power systems. We will look at energy in a different way and discover ways to transform fluid power energy to make our systems more efficient, and then be able to make better use of the new and improved components available to us.

Fig. 2

When flow enters the unit at one side, it is divided proportionally based on the displacements of Fig. 2 the sections. What makes this different from a spool-type flow divider is the fact that the power is not restricted but merely divided proportionally. The sum of the power exiting will equal that of the power entering. For example, with a two-section device, if 20 lpm at 10 MPa exits from one port and 20 lpm at 0 MPa exits from the other port, a total of 40 lpm will have to enter at port 1 at a pressure of…? You got it. The input pressure would be 5 MPa. Power in equals power out. (20 lpm x 10 MPa) + (20 lpm x 0 MPa) = 200 units of power The input will also have to equal 200 units of power. 40 lpm x 5 MPa = 200 units of power The pressure/flow transformer has been around for a long time. It is not compact and cannot easily be contained in a manifold. It is not adjustable. A typical 50/50 unit will divide the flow in half ±5%, depending on the pressure difference between the outputs. When compact restrictive flow dividers were developed, the displacement divider was relegated to applications where size and accuracy were not a priority. Very little attention was paid to the energy advantages that could be gained by its use. Let’s take a look at several applications of the pressure/flow transformer, some of which are often overlooked. We will limit our descriptions to devices with only two sections. The following examples are not intended to be fully operational circuits, but are ways to configure the transformers.

Prove Your Competence and Gain Confidence with IFPS CERTIFICATION BY DONNA POLLANDER, ACA IFPS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Professional certification offers numerous benefits that IFPS has detailed many times since the inception of our Specialist certification in 1980. However, certified individuals can provide a unique perspective on how they personally benefit from their certifications. David H. Knight, CFPS, from Parker Hannifin has been a Certified Fluid Power Specialist (CFPS) since 1992. He explains, “Achieving IFPS certification helped me realize that my work isn’t just a job; it’s truly a profession that needs the services of people that really understand hydraulic and pneumatic systems in addition to the business side of things. I’ve used my IFPS certifications as building blocks to climb ladders in the various positions I’ve held.” Scott Gower, CFPS, CFPEC, has also certainly seen the advantages of being certified. In fact, it landed him a job! As his family was growing, Gower realized he needed a higher paying job. He says, “I built a resume to post online, and Monster.com allows just five words to describe your experience to a prospective employer. Realizing that ‘super-awesome, smart, cool guy’ probably wouldn’t cut it, I chose four: Certified Fluid Power Specialist. Perfect—it fit the job requirements and provided something akin to a college degree: instant credibility. I flew down for an interview and was offered the job two weeks later. In December 2016, I started my 14th year with the company.” Gower has been certified since 2002. I’ve heard many stories like this in my 20+ years working within the fluid power industry. It makes me proud every time I hear something like it.

Certified personnel can also benefit their organizations, as employees gain an improved ability to ensure safety, reliability, and deliver quality assurance. Hydraquip in Houston, Tex., is a long-time supporter of IFPS certification and encourages its employees to seek the certification that is appropriate to their jobs. As Tim Nichols, CFPS, Hydraquip’s president who has been certified since 1994, explains, “Our Power Solutions employees are encouraged to become Certified Fluid Power Hydraulic Specialists (CFPHS). Our Service and Repair technicians are factory trained and also are Certified Fluid Power Mobile Mechanics (CFPMHM). Several of our Hose and Couplings salespeople have the Hydraulic Specialist designation, as well. These certifications are so important that we pay for the training, the testing, and we will increase an employee’s wage by 5% once the employee has obtained certification.”

Greg Loew is fleet manager for Avista Utilities in Spokane, Wash. In his experience, IFPS certification has resulted in reduced downtime, extended asset life, and major cost savings on the bottom line. “We highly value having our mechanics IFPS certified. It provides Avista Utilities with a substantial cost savings to maintain our equipment in-house. The CFPMHM certification provides us with the level of confidence we need in order not to be reliant on outsourced repairs. Our certified mechanics are significantly more capable and better trouble-shooters—getting things done correctly the first time.” Whether you are an individual seeking certification to prove your competence or gain confidence in your work, or an employer eager to prove your dedication to a safe and reliable workforce, IFPS can help. We certify thousands of fluid power professionals each year and serve as the industry standard for assessing the knowledge and skill level of your employees, which can provide you with a safe and competitive advantage. It allows future employers to validate the knowledge and experience that a potential employee brings. It also provides an unbiased third-party endorsement of that skill and knowledge. Certification demonstrates competency, motivation, and a dedication that is important in a highly technical field.

NEF UPDATES

Q A

PHOTO BY LYNSEY WEATHERSPOON PHOTOGRAPHY

Building The Future Erica Stanley is a software architect and engineer, and the founder and director of the Atlanta network of Women Who Code. In this interview, which appeared in the September edition of the National Engineering Forum newsletter, the NEF asked Ms. Stanley what she sees happening in tech and how engineers can help America stay competitive in the global economy.

Q YOU’RE AN IOT EXPERT. AS WE SEE MORE CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE AND INTEGRATION OF CONNECTED THINGS IN THE HOME—THERMOSTATS, ALARM SYSTEMS AND REFRIGERATORS—HOW DO YOU THINK THE INTERNET OF THINGS WILL IMPACT TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS? As we continue to build up the Internet of Things, incorporating more connected devices and apps, I believe we’re moving toward our own digital ecosystem—an ecosystem that’s always aware and ready to respond to subtle changes in our environment. For instance, we might have temperature settings that follow us from our home to car to our office and seats, whether in our car, home, or office, that respond to our personal posture needs. I think technology will evolve in a few different ways. I think our interaction with devices will change from mostly touch-based systems to more organic interaction like voice and gesture control. Big data coupled with machine learning will begin to drive the predictive nature of many of our devices. This means a lot of the actions we now complete through some direct interaction will soon be handled automatically, as the devices in our ecosystem learn more about us. Traditionally, the skill set for hardware and software engineers has been very different. They typically worked separately, on completely different teams. But soon, I think we will start to see more hybrid software/hardware engineers and technical leaders. We’ll start to see hardware and software engineers collaborating more closely together as the hardware and software requirements for connected devices become more intertwined.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

Socially, with so much of our personal information being gathered, the expectations around personal privacy will change. Also, I believe that IoT has the ability to empower us physically, to allow us to take more control of our physical health and capabilities. We’ve already started to see this trend in fitness devices and apps. But I expect to see us control other areas of our health with connected devices. For instance, there are several devices in the works that will help continuously monitor and communicate blood sugar changes. This has obvious implications for diabetics and pre-diabetics, but also athletes and anyone who is concerned with physical performance and weight loss. I think there are also opportunities to enhance physical capabilities with connected devices, bringing new opportunities to the physically disabled.

Q HOW DO YOU APPROACH DEVELOPING A NEW APP OR SOFTWARE SOLUTION? I like to incorporate elements of design thinking from the very beginning, and I typically take an agile approach to building the solution. If the project is for a client, I like to work very closely with the client and the team (developers, designers, UX, Bas, PMs, etc.) together so that the entire team understands the problem, understands any tradeoffs, and can collaborate on the solution. Then we go through a few rounds of rapid prototyping, whether it’s a wireframe, comps, or a clickable prototype and work through them iteratively with the client. If it is a more personal entrepreneurial venture, we would start with customer discovery to make sure we understand the customer and the market, then begin a process that more closely resembles a design sprint to determine what our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) should include.

The end result from either process is a vetted prototype that we can use to begin developing a roadmap through user story mapping. Once we have detailed user stories and other artifacts like acceptance criteria, we work the plan, building the solution one sprint at a time. We use the retrospective of each sprint as an opportunity to engage the client and revisit our goals to make sure we’re building the right solution at each iteration.

Q WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR ENGINEERS TO TAKE THE TIME TO MENTOR THE NEXT GENERATION? I can speak from personal experience, as mentoring has played a huge role in the course of my career. I was interested in technology early, but growing up, I had no idea how to turn it into a career, or even if I wanted to turn it into a career. Mentors definitely helped me map my career in tech. This mentor relationship is going to be even more important to the next generation of engineers because we have so many people entering tech from non-traditional means. We see many people opting to forgo university education and instead picking up technical skills via code schools and boot camps. Without the guidance, mentoring, and community building that takes place for university students, these new developers can easily become isolated, discouraged, and confused about their goals in tech. It will take established engineers working with these new developers to build the basics of tech talent needed to keep us competitive in this ever-growing technical landscape.

TELL US HOW GROUPS LIKE WOMEN WHO CODE AND 100 GIRLS OF CODE ARE IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE IN STEM FIELDS, NOT JUST WOMEN AND GIRLS. At Women Who Code, we work to help women excel in technical careers. At 100 Girls of Code, our goal is to introduce girls ages 8-18 to technology in new and creative ways. These organizations, and organizations like them, provide the network, the support, and resources for members of marginalized groups to find their place in tech. We should all want more diverse teams in tech, because diverse teams build better products. They’re more collaborative and innovative. They also have the benefit of finding unique problems to solve and creative ways to solve them, as a result of having more varied perspectives at the table. Also, we are starting to see a shortage of skilled engineers. By 2020, we will have 1.6 million more tech jobs than computer science graduates. We’ll have to do things differently to fill this need. That includes finding ways to appeal to women and minorities, to bring more people, perspectives, and ideas to tech. That includes growing and mentoring engineers that may have taken a non-traditional path into tech. Working with Women Who Code has allowed me to work closely with local companies and organizations, engaging the Atlanta tech community in changing our approach to diversity and inclusion.

ISO STANDARDS AWARENESS FOR FLUID POWER PROFESSIONALS

Graphical Standard

1219

We use or are guided by graphical symbols every day of our lives. Stop signs are standardized hexagonal graphical symbols indicating when you need to stop and yield to oncoming traffic. School zone signs, caution signs, and no-passing-zone signs all have standardized shapes and give us graphical indications of pertinent information for our day-to-day activities. Standardization of graphical symbols is necessary to make graphical symbols universally understood. Today’s family of ISO 1219 graphical standards provides universally understood graphical symbols that are used in the fluid power industry and understood globally.

he use of graphical symbols goes back to prehistoric times. Cave art conveys graphical information for what early man found important to depict and preserve. Egyptian hieroglyphics are basically a form of graphical communication. The ability to read and understand the meaning of the Egyptian hieroglyphics was lost over time, and it wasn’t until the Rosetta Stone was discovered by soldiers attached to Napoleon’s army and used to help decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphics that the meanings of these symbols was understood. Graphical standards like ISO 1219 can be thought of as a form of a “Rosetta Stone” for the understanding and use of fluid power graphical symbols. ISO standard 1219 was first published in 1976, but it was not the first attempt to define and codify industrial fluid power symbols. Standardized electrical symbols were first published in 1947 by JIC (Joint Industrial Council). JIC hydraulic graphical symbol standards were then published in 1948; pneumatic standards followed in 1950. In 1954, the American Standards Association (ASA) developed a joint standard

for hydraulic and pneumatic graphical symbols (ASA Y32.10-1958). ISO 1219 was first published as a recommendation in 1970, and the first official publication of ISO 1219 as a standard took place in 1976. It is often said that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and this is definitely true of graphical symbols. Graphical symbols can convey clear meaning for a system component with only one symbol, whereas verbiage to convey the same idea may take a paragraph or more to explain—and then not be universally understood. One of our young engineers was asked to prepare a training narrative on some of our standard products and was having trouble understanding the inner workings of our MiniKing valve, one of our older 4-ported, 4-way valves (Fig. 1). The catalog description was “4-way, twoposition, solenoid-operated, spring return valve with manual override” (Fig. 2). The catalog gave a simplified schematic for the MiniKing valve, but the function of the valve was not well understood from the catalog information. We discussed the mechanism, but still the

NFPA UPDATES

2016 FPIRC Was A Success BY ERIC LANKE, NFPA PRESIDENT/CEO

Last week I had the great pleasure of attending the third Fluid Power Innovation and Research Conference (FPIRC) in Minneapolis, Minn. I was joined there by more than 170 other professionals, including 14 academic faculty, 110 industry members, and 38 university students. It was a phenomenal conference. FPIRC is co-sponsored by NFPA and the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP), and our goal is to grow it into the premier conference for fluid power industry and academic research in North America. The event in Minneapolis took a major step forward in this direction, connecting industry to university resources and talent through technical sessions, networking opportunities, laboratory tours, and panel discussions.

The presentations were great. They showcased not only the pre-competitive research projects that our industry is funding through our Foundation’s Pascal Society, but also included numerous technical presentations from industry, highlighting the application of those and other new research directions. Most of the presentation slides can be downloaded from the FPIRC website at: http://nfpahub.com/events/ conferences/fpirc/program/. But the highlight for me and many others was the networking. The student poster session on one of the evenings broke all kinds of records in this regard, with industry, academia, and students meeting in one venue to discuss the technologies and workforce skills needed to continue growing the fluid power industry.

Another favorite activity was the reception, dinner, and tour we all had at the U.S. Bank Stadium, the new home of the Minnesota Vikings. Upon learning that some of the giant glass walls of the stadium used hydraulic power to open and let fresh air into that remarkable space, several of the industry members I was with immediately began identifying and speculating on the manufacturers of the hydraulic components that had been built into that system. Whether it was the advancing technologies that were presented, or just the fresh, young faces on the student presenters themselves, the whole conference left me with the clear sense that our industry is succeeding in building a bright future for itself. All industry members are invited to participate in FPIRC and several related activities that are helping to grow these important connections. The next big event will be an industry/ university summit that we’re beginning to plan for the spring of 2017. Please stay tuned for more detailed announcements on that event.

2017 ANNUAL CONFERENCE REGISTRATION NOW OPEN Every so often, a truly special industry event hits the calendar. The NFPA 2017 Annual Conference is one of those events. Scheduled for February 8-10, 2017, at the Ritz Kapalua on the island of Maui, the 2017 conference will bring together renowned speakers, industry leaders, and the beauty of Hawaii.

NFPA APPLIES FOR FEDERAL FUNDING TO SUPPORT EDUCATION BY ERIC LANKE, NFPA PRESIDENT/CEO

In early October 2016, NFPA submitted an application to the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support fluid power technical education in the United States. The resulting program, should our application be approved, will be called FAMTEN (formerly described as FAMTEC)—the Fluid Power and Applied Mechatronics Training and Employment Network. Here’s the executive summary that was included in the application, describing the strategy and rationale for this initiative: The Fluid Power and Applied Mechatronics Training and Employment Network (FAMTEN), administered by the National Fluid Power Association (“NFPA”) in Milwaukee, Wis., is a collaborative workforce development network, led by technical education and curriculum experts at Alexandria Technical and Community College (“ATCC”) in Alexandria, Minn., which leverages industry partners and high school teachers to create awareness and interest in fluid power and mechatronics, and supports technical and community colleges to prepare students for highskilled careers in manufacturing. Pathways to the manufacturing workforce currently suffer from both supply and demand problems. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that nearly 600,000 mechatronics or closely related positions will be open between 2012 and 2022. Compounding challenges in filling these jobs include negative perceptions of the manufacturing industry, a lack of awareness of appealing mechatronics careers, a national decline in high school graduates, and an existing workforce that is retiring at an increasing rate. Without a strong pool of qualified applicants, U.S. manufacturers are facing a shortage of labor that will lead to decreased production and off-shoring, putting our country’s economy at significant risk. Solutions are critically needed now. Comprehensive mechatronics training and education is a necessary part of preparing a skilled manufacturing workforce, and fluid power (hydraulics and pneumatics) is an essential, but often lacking, discipline within a mechatronics curriculum. Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary subject that combines mechanical and electrical engineering and computer science. A typical mechatronic system picks up signals from the environment, processes them to generate output signals, and transforms those outputs into forces, motions, and actions. In a manufacturing environment, the actuation technology of choice is often fluid power. Hydraulics, with its high power-to-weight ratio, high WWW.IFPS.ORG • WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM

torque at low speed, ability to hold torque constant, and ruggedness and reliability, is ideal for heavy-duty manufacturing processes such as forging, stamping, pressing, and work-holding. Pneumatics, with its low cost and weight profile, simple control systems, clean and non-reactive properties, and speed and precision, is ideal for lighter-duty manufacturing processes such as factory automation, assembly, material handling, and packaging. Unfortunately, not enough technical and community colleges teach mechatronics, and of those that do, many insufficiently include

fluid power in their curriculum. Indeed, this lack of sufficient fluid power instruction was identified even when reviewing the curricula of other ATE Centers and Projects that focus on mechatronics. A study of the existing NSF ATE Projects and/or Centers revealed the total absence of fluid power-focused mechatronics. The study included an evaluation of the content, delivery, geography, and outreach elements of existing ATE projects. This criteria was used to compare and contrast the FAMTEN concept with other existing education and outreach models in mechatronics technician programs.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

FAMTEN is proposed to serve as a network headquartered at a technical college partner institution, offering fluid power and applied mechatronics college and high-school curriculum which meets a common set of FAMTEN fluid power core competencies. The partnering technical college will serve as the hub within the FAMTEN system, coordinating a robust high school outreach program, a teacher professional development program, and a fluid power-based mechatronics curriculum, all in collaboration with, and mentored by, industry partners.

This FAMTEN outreach and education model is a replica of a successful initiative between Minnesota’s 3M Corporation and ATCC. This experimental program emerged from informal discussions between 3M and ATCC as a way to respond to 3M’s manufacturing workforce needs. The vision was to create awareness, interest, and change perceptions of careers in manufacturing. One of the program’s most impactful strategies is to engage directly with high school teachers and classrooms in the communities of 3M’s manufacturing facilities. FAMTEN will expand

this model with a much wider industry base to fill technical and community college classrooms with interested and motivated students and to fill technical positions with qualified, highly skilled employees. Based on U.S. Census Bureau data, it can be estimated that 846 companies in 47 states are involved in the manufacture of fluid power pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, actuators, hoses, and fittings. An analysis of the companies that use those products in their manufacturing processes or in their own manufactured products, however, yields even greater results. Ten of the largest fluid power-consuming industries represent an estimated 23,700 companies in all 50 states. NFPA, as the national trade association representing the fluid power industry, is uniquely positioned to engage with this industry base in its role as FAMTEN administrator. The FAMTEN model is therefore a collaborative, pathway-based workforce development system. Industry partners will interface with high school students through the FAMTEN hands-on curriculum and application-based teaching modules. Don’t Let Contaminated Hydraulic and Lubrication This interaction will help change negative perFluids Inhibit Your Equipment’s Performance ceptions of the manufacturing environment and allow the industry partner to coach, encourage, and support a student’s interest in manufacturing careers. The partnering technical college, serving as the FAMTEN hub, will provide teachers professional development to ensure the high schools have the ability to reach many students, year after year. The FAMTEN hub will meet a set of validated fluid power learning objectives and core competencies, which may result in embedding fluid power modules, designed by ATCC faculty and vetted by industry partners, into courses wherever it is strategically relevant. This fluid power mechatronics program within the technical college will receive and educate high school graduates for careers in the manufacturing industry, with the same industry partners working collaboratively with the technical colleges to refine the base FAMHydraulic filtration and TEN curriculum to their local needs, and to hire contamination monitoring the resulting highly trained college graduates. solutions FAMTEN’s long-term vision includes clusters of FAMTEN hubs across the United States serving Eaton’s filtration technology takes on the strategic and geographically relevant areas of biggest challenges in the construction the country.

Many thanks to the numerous NFPA members and education partners who came together to support and help define the program and our application. We expect to hear a decision from the ATE program administrators in the spring of 2017 and will keep the NFPA membership informed as to our application’s progress. This is a major new initiative for NFPA, but, if successful, it has the potential to profoundly improve the quality of the fluid power technical workforce in the United States.

ThumbWheels

Indego® exoskeleton is a powered lower limb orthotic device developed by The Human Motion and Control Business Unit of Parker Hannifin, with clinical partners The Shepherd Center, Kessler Foundation, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), and Craig Hospital. The device enables people with spinal cord injuries to walk and participate in over-ground gait training, and offers people with impaired mobility a new level of independence. Designed for personal use, but currently being researched in clinical settings, Indego offers a range of features that make it unique as a therapy tool for a variety of impairments. The design consists of five snap-together components and weighs only 26 pounds fully assembled. The hip component houses a rechargeable battery pack, while each upper leg component houses two motors, as well as embedded sensors and controllers. A Bluetooth LE radio allows communications between the device and an iPhone or iPod Touch through the custom iOS application. This application allows users and clinicians to adjust device settings and to view session progress wirelessly. The device is designed to be easy and intuitive to use. The therapy kit comes in three devices, which increases productivity in a clinic. More steps per session can be achieved with less physical exertion on the part of the therapist compared to traditional gait training. Thanks to the device’s variable assist functionality, clinicians can challenge their patients, make adjustments to suit their patient’s individual needs, and maximize patient’s recovery potential. Various gait parameters can be adjusted in real-time to enable a psychological gait pattern and goal-based motor skills training. This gait therapy tool allows for unprecedented training variability on various surfaces. Unique features allow for a seamless transition from use in the clinical setting to rehabilitation at home or in the community, and ultimately for use as a personal mobility device. It comes in three sizes (small, medium, and large) with interchangeable sections, making it suitable for a range of users. Indego has received FDA clearance and CE Mark, allowing it to be sold commercially in the United States and Europe. It has also earned a UL Mark, which was obtained through extensive testing to certify the high standards of system design, function, and safety. In October 2015, Parker announced that it would supply Indego devices for a four-year U.S. Department of Defense-funded study of the tangible economic and rehabilitation benefits of exoskeletons at three of the nation’s top rehabilitation centers, including the James Haley Veteran’s Hospital in Tampa, the first VA center in the country to use Indego. The device received a Gold Award at the 2016 Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) in the Rehabilitation and Assistive Device category. The MDEA Juror Panel presented the award based on design and engineering innovation, function and user-related innovation, patient benefits, business benefits, and overall benefit to the healthcare system.

hen a cylinder with a long stroke is required, there are additional design considerations. Long-stroke cylinders are subject to compression stresses like any other cylinder, but buckling is another factor. Buckling can occur when long, slender cylinders are exposed to forces well below compressive stress limits. The classic example is a yardstick. Stand a yardstick on end and push on the top. Only a small force is needed to make the yardstick bow to one side. A slender cylinder has the same tendency. To counteract buckling, cylinder components are made larger in diameter. The disadvantage of larger cylinder components is that larger cylinders require more fluid to extend. More fluid could be provided by a larger displacement pump, but there are more efficient ways to achieve the same result. In this article, we investigate displacement cylinders and regenerative circuits as effective ways to provide buckling resistance without increasing the pump displacement. DISPLACEMENT CYLINDERS Displacement cylinders are single acting. That means pressurized fluid is needed to extend but not retract. Common applications include dump trucks, forklifts, and scissor lifts. In those types of equipment, pumps extend the cylinder and gravity retracts the cylinder. Conventional

single-acting cylinders can be used for these applications, but in this example we have oversized the cylinder to improve buckling resistance. A displacement cylinder has several advantages over a double-acting cylinder. The first advantage is the number of seals. A displacement cylinder does not have piston seals. Fewer components mean fewer things to fail. Without piston seals, the cylinder rod extends when fluid entering the cylinder expands the internal volume. The only way the internal volume can expand is by extending the rod. Because displacement cylinders are single acting, only one port is needed. That port can be located anywhere on the cylinder body. The cylinder in Fig. 1 has the port located near the middle for plumbing convenience. The section view in Fig. 2 shows the inside of the same cylinder. In Figs. 2 and 3, the wide, light gray rectangle near the base end of the cylinder is not a piston seal but a guide ring. Fluid passes from one side of the guide ring to the other through internal passages in the piston (not shown). Guide rings slide smoothly on the bore of the cylinder to align and center the piston while preventing scoring or galling. Displacement cylinders have an advantage over conventional cylinders when it comes to the extend speed. Fluid entering the cylinder extends the rod as a function of the rod diameter, not the bore as in a conventional cylinder. That means a smaller pump can be used to produce the same rod extension velocity. One final advantage is the reduced plumbing requirements. Displacement cylinders do not have a retract port, so there is no retract hose. Fewer hose connections mean fewer potential leak points. As mentioned earlier, the rod diameter dictates the extend speed, but it also controls the extend force. Only the rod diameter area is used when calculating the extend force. REGENERATIVE FLOW A regenerative circuit (sometimes shortened to “regen”) provides many of the advantages of a displacement cylinder plus one additional benefit. Regen can be applied to double-acting cylinders. When extending, regen circuits redirect fluid that returns to the tank in a conventional double-acting cylinder. Regen cannot be applied to retract a cylinder due to the net area disadvantage. Regen circuits are often used to reduce cycle times. In this example, the long stroke dictated a larger rod to resist buckling tendencies. In turn, the larger rod requires a larger piston, even though the larger bore may not be required to meet the extend force requirements. The result is a low-pressure requirement in an oversized piston with a large flow requirement. Regeneration overcomes that deficiency. The key feature of regeneration is to take advantage of the fluid exhausted from the rod port. Consider the simplified schematic in Fig. 4. This is just one of many variations on full-time regen. In Fig. 4, the directional control valve is in neutral and fluid is directed to the reservoir through a common tandem center valve. In the neutral position, check valve 2 prevents any pressure in the tank line from entering the rod port of the cylinder, possibly causing the rod to retract unintentionally. One way pressure might increase in the return line is if a return filter (not shown) was dirty. Fluid trapped in the base end of the cylinder by the directional control valve would prevent large unintended motion, but internal spool leakage may allow slow speed drift without check valve 2. This is just one of several configurations. Regeneration circuits can also be used with variable-displacement pumps. Electrically operated valves (shown) can be replaced by manually operated valves as long as the tandem center is used. In Fig. 5, the directional control valve is shifted so as to extend the cylinder. Fluid leaving the rod port passes through check valve 2 and combines with the fluid going to the valve. The fluid flows this way for a simple reason. REGENERATION EXPLAINED IN TWO SENTENCES Pressure is equal on both sides of the piston, but the larger area generates a larger force. The piston rod extends because there is greater force on the base side of the piston.

Significant increases in extend speed are possible. The flow rate and cycle times are calculated using the rod area, just like the displacement cylinder. The annular area times the pressure is the amount of force that is lost when extending. Just as in the displacement cylinder, the force available during regen is a product of pressure and the rod cross sectional area. Like most things in engineering, there is a compromise. The advantage of speed gained from a regen circuit comes at the price of force from a cylinder. That’s okay in this slender cylinder example because it had to be oversized to avoid problems with buckling. Regen does not influence cylinder speed when retracting the cylinder, as shown in Fig. 6. Displacement cylinders and regeneration circuits can be treated the same with regards to extend force and required pump flow. Understanding the differences will help you decide which to use and when. Refer to Table 1 for a comparison of characteristics. There are many other versions of regenerative circuits. There are full-time and part-time regen circuits that disable regeneration automatically based on pressure. Each circuit offers an advantage in certain applications. We won’t go into them here, but for more information on these circuits, visit the Books and Publications page of the International Fluid Power Society website (www.ifps.org). Check valve 1
