THE FLUID POWER EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION –

Evolving with the Needs of the Industry

he Fluid Power Educational Foundation (FPEF) has charted a new course focusing on two major missions over the calendar year 2014. Our primary mission is to award scholarships to individual students who have selected fluid power as their primary academic discipline. We are the only fluid power non-profit organization focused on scholarship awards to individuals. Embarking upon this path, our collateral mission was to expand awareness of the FPEF, as well as the discipline of fluid power itself to potential students. This year, we have had a record year in individual donations and scholarship applicants. It shows that both the industry BY JEAN KNOWLES, CFPE, CFPS, and students are getting the message. AND 2014 FPEF CHAIR As chair, my call to action for our FPEF trustees, IFPS members, and working professionals was to focus on fundraising in 2014 and to increase awareness. Donations not only support our existing scholarship base, but also solidify a path to our future Foundation goals. Our future goals include: 1) expanding our scholarship awards to those in fluid power who desire continuing education, 2) offering scholarships to departing military, and 3) providing added financial-need scholarships for students seeking fluid power training. Our goals address the growing issue that the employment climate is seeing more and more retirements and workers exiting our field. Many of these individuals leave with years of tribal knowledge, training, and experience. Our future goals must encourage and reward workers choosing fluid power as their profession. Our close-knit community of fluid power companies faces a scarcity of talent due to competing trades recruiting new and existing talented individuals. Other industries have actively supported students for years. Individuals entering fluid power can use the FPEF scholarships for IFPS first-time memberships offered to departing military personnel and first-time certifying college instructors. The Foundation’s challenge, however, is to encourage and attract new talent. I’ve had the honor and privilege to be a professional and to grow professionally in the fluid power community. In this journey, I’ve worked with and for some of the finest, best, and brightest people and leading companies. Many of these companies were built on the

hard work, determination, sweat equity, pure ambition, and perseverance of dedicated individuals. We could use more of such individuals as we lose increasing numbers of experts. It means our Foundation’s mission becomes exponentially more compelling and necessary. If you or your company has grown by being a member of this community, I urge you to contribute to educational opportunities. You can do so by encouraging newcomers, help the Foundation increase awareness, and/or make a taxdeductible donation to help fund our scholarships. If you would like more information on our Foundation, our scholarships, or our scholarship-donation opportunities, please contact us at info@fpef.org. The Foundation has developed packages that include advertising or a choice of individual or corporate scholarship-naming opportunities. To institute a scholarship in honor of your company or an individual, please feel free to contact us. As we approach the halfway mark in our calendar year, I am extraordinarily pleased at the Foundation’s progress thus far and by all the new companies that have stepped up in support of the Foundation. I am personally excited about our future and the impact the Foundation will have on both students’ lives and the people who will be the future of fluid power. There is no greater investment than in the people. People made this industry what it is today, and it will be people, such as those entering our industry and our scholarship recipients, who will shape tomorrow.

New Problem Drawing by Jeff Parker

In designing a vehicle to go down the road at 60 mph, one must know the drawbar pull of the vehicle. This is a combination of drag coefficient, rolling resistance, grade of incline, and any mechanical inefficiency. To find this information without a wind tunnel, one might use a scale of some type and pull the vehicle with a long tow-rope. Using a pneumatic

cylinder with the blind end open to atmosphere and the rod end closed and fitted with a pressure gauge, we can make a nice scale that can be used to determine the horsepower.

SOLUTION Step 1: Calculate the angle that the cylinder is mounted to the horizontal frame: Use the tangent of ø = 5.1962 / 3 = 1.732 Now do Tan -¹ to find degrees = 60°

400 Lbs. 400 lbs.

Step 2: The 400 lbs. has a 2:1 mechanical disadvantage, so the true load on the end of the arm is 800 lbs. Step 3: Load x load distance = effort x effort distance (800 x 8 x 3 = 2133.33 lbs. = vertical load at end of cylinder rod) Step 4: Load / sine of 60 degrees = 2462.9 lbs. on the cylinder Step 5: F = PA 2462.9 / 100 psi = 24.63 sq. in. needed Step 6: Because we are finding the rod end area, we need to add the area of the rod to the required area. Rod area is 2.5² x 0.7854 or 4.9 sq. in. Add 24.63 and 4.9 = 29.53 sq. in. Step 7: Find diameter of cylinder: A = D² x 0.7854. Working backwards, 29.53 / 0.7854 = and square root that number 6.13”. The question asks for standard size cylinder, and then we would up the size to a 7-inch diameter. Reinforce your industry expertise with a Pneumatic Mechanic, Technician, or Specialist certification.

THE QUESTIONS

Do you think a manufacturing renaissance has staying power with manufacturing and jobs coming back to the United States?

PAREEK: I believe the resurgence has staying power and for several reasons. American companies moved too quickly to follow the trend in the mid-1990s and early 2000s to move jobs out of the United States. The customer aspects of quality, speed-to-market, and new product introduction are much easier when you are doing it here. American companies are now realizing that they need to focus on total cost, not just product price. The inexpensive unit price of manufacturing an item outside the United States isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily the lowest overall cost when you take into consideration shipping fees, longer lead times, the quality, and communication challenges. Whereas if you are manufacturing in the United States, your lead times are shorter, you can work on quality issues easier, your communication is easier, and your transportation is cheaper. BURKE: Yes, because of two major factors: consistent quality of the products and timely product availability. OLINGER: Many of our customers are requesting products that are sourced in the regions they are located in, so a key to the staying power starts with U.S. market demand. Assuming the demand for our products is there, the resurgence of manufacturing in the U.S. should continue trending upward. We are fortunate to have a productive workforce with a strong work ethic in Iowa. A productive workforce combined with investments in newer manufacturing technology will be a catalyst for continued improvement for U.S. manufacturers.

MANUFACTURING Q & A

Do you think that U.S.-based companies are poised for significant growth in 2015?

PAREEK: I do see the mid-term trend favoring manufacturing growth in the United States as more and more companies are realizing that it is easier to control quality, reduce lead times, and keep freight costs low when keeping production close to home. In addition, our newfound abundance of natural gas helps in reducing production energy costs in manufacturing. It is a component in so many products and services that it provides a positive impact on countless manufacturing processes for the United States. BURKE: Growth yes, but I would choose marginal reserved growth. OLINGER: There are certainly signs of positive business trends as we progress through 2014. The agricultural market segment has played a key role in our manufacturing growth since the economic downturn in 2009. Agriculture commodity prices are coming down from their highs, and we are beginning to see some softening in the agriculture segment. Renewed strength in the agriculture market, along with exchange rates and U.S. housing starts, will all impact the significance of any growth in 2015. Labor rates are equalizing globally, and this helps level the playing field for labor content in any manufactured product. Customer quality expectations are increasing, and the ability of U.S. manufacturers to respond by continuously improving quality and delivery performance will enhance our ability to outpace manufacturing growth in other regions.

diminishing are those that do not offer innovation and consistent quality at a competitive price. OLINGER: There are several segments of the hydraulics market that will grow over the next few years. Hydraulic fan drive systems will continue to grow and help OEMs cool Tier IV engines. Many OEMs continue to update their equipment with displays, joysticks, and other electronic components to improve the machine productivity by providing operators

with more information. Future demands will drive the need for hydraulic components that can be integrated with electronics and software to meet customer requirements. We anticipate this trend to continue to accelerate within the mobile hydraulics industry. The market for direct displacement controls for hydrostatic pumps is expected to continue to decline as customers integrate electronic control features in their machines.

HYUNDAI MOTORS AND VFDS ENGINEERING AND FIELD SUPPORT SERVICE AVAILABLE AROUND THE CLOCK THE HIGHEST QUALITY NAME BRAND PRODUCTS

Which product segments of the hydraulics manufacturing market do you see growing? Which segments do you see diminishing?

PAREEK: As more manufacturing comes back to the United States, I firmly believe that the industrial side of hydraulics will be growing. As industrial manufacturing grows, that means more stamping, casting, forging, and extrusion, which equates to an increased need for industrial hydraulics. Another segment would be remanufacturing. At Hydraulics Global, we see this segment growing, especially as more global corporations are becoming environmentally conscious. Remanufacturing is green and is good for the environment. Companies are getting more comfortable with remanufacturing units made in the United States with American labor. BURKE: I see growth in pumps, valves, cylinders, and filtration. Product segments I see

MANUFACTURING Q & A

What do you think the greatest threat to manufacturing growth will be in the next 6-12 months?

PAREEK: The greatest threat to manufacturing growth is finding skilled workers, such as engineers, technicians, CNC operators, assembly line workers, etc. As manufacturing starts to increase, finding a significant number of good, qualified employees is a challenge and can ham-

CIRCLE 383

WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM | WWW.IFPS.ORG

per the capacity for growth or expansion plans. There just aren’t enough new/younger people going into these trades to support the growth. BURKE: Political uncertainty, negative media influence, and environmental disasters are all influential in business-decision processes. There has been growth of the business community, but it has been reserved. OLINGER: Attracting and retaining experienced manufacturing support personnel is stretch-

ing our supply base resources and our internal resources. Improvements in manufacturing productivity and the implementation of new manufacturing technologies are typically paced by the availability of supplier resources and our own experienced team members. Improving our ability to share best practices globally will help us leverage the experience of our teams.

Do you think there is a skills gap in not having enough qualified workers to produce the components that you manufacture?

PAREEK: Clearly there is a skills gap problem in the United States, and it’s a big challenge. Within our five locations at Hydraulex Global throughout North America (Detroit, Seattle, Memphis, Forest, Mich., and Toronto, Canada), I find it difficult to fill jobs. In the United States, we currently have a short supply of qualified people who are trained in trade skills. Exacerbating this problem in the next few years, approximately 2.7 million baby boomers will retire from manufacturing jobs, further increasing the skills gap and labor shortage. The skills gap will only keep increasing if companies don’t take the responsibility of training employees. We need to invest in developing, training, and creating the manufacturing workforce for the future. Workforce development is critical. At Hydraulex Global, the approach we have taken is hiring people and then training them ourselves in the necessary skills. BURKE: Yes. The lack of basic training starting at the high school level is a beginning point. Students at the high school level need exposure to the potential opportunities not only in fluid power, but also in all of the skilled trades. The skilled trades can provide a solid means of employment, income, and a meaningful future. OLINGER: Our Ames, Iowa, facility is located in an area with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. Turnover of our temporary workforce is high, and we invest a tremendous amount of time in training. We continue exploring opportunities to improve the flexibility of our workforce in an effort to sustain desired productivity levels through the seasonality of our business. Our colleagues in Germany are fortunate to have an apprenticeship program that allows them to focus on training individuals with a desire to build a career in the manufacturing sector. Here in the United States, it is often challenging to find individuals with a desire to remain in manufacturing long term. The manufacturing sector may not necessarily be viewed negatively by younger individuals preparing to enter the workforce, but we need to find a way to give it a more appealing image so as to encourage a growing workforce to strive for a longer-termed career in the field. This will also energize our teenagers to pursue development of manufacturing skills.

REDUCING WITH

THE RIGHT

VACUUM SYSTEM By Josef Karbassi, Piab Automation Division The most common vacuum technology for handling sealed materials today utilizes air-driven vacuum ejectors. The handling system is quite often based on a robot equipped with vacuum-lifting devices and suction cups. There are also many manual vacuum-handling devices designed for sealed objects, as well as dedicated machinery with integrated vacuum-handling systems. Examples include sheetmetal presses, water and laser cutters, and glass and wood-working machines. The energy consumed by these types of vacuum-handling systems is defined by how much compressed air the ejectors consume to create vacuum and often takes into account how much compressed air is needed in the flow function to release the part quickly enough. The amount of compressed air consumed in an ejector when vacuum is created depends on the number of nozzle rows, the size of the smallest diameter in the (first) ejector nozzle, and the compressed air feed pressure. The complete formula to theoretically calculate the air consumption for an ejector nozzle is seen in Table 1. It is quite common that the specified air consumption for ejectors will differ from the theoretic value. The actual air consumption should be very close to the theoretic value (the difference of a few percentage

FIG. 1

WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM | WWW.IFPS.ORG

points is reasonable.) Table 2 demonstrates the theoretic value for some common nozzle diameters at varying feed pressures. Calculations are made at a temperature of 10째C (283.16 Kelvin). The other, and quite often forgotten, energy thief in a vacuum-handling system designed for sealed materials is the blow-off function, which is used for quick release of the object. The air consumed during blow-off is determined by the flow capacity of the valve that controls the function and pressure being used. When utilizing a large, centrally placed ejector (i.e., many cups connected to the same source), very high levels of flow are required in order to quickly break the seal on remotely

FIG. 2

TABLE 1

placed suction cups. In this case, flow levels in the range of 200-500 Nl/ min at 4-6 bars are standard. In a decentralized system using one small ejector at each point-of-suction, the release function is, in many cases, the result of blocking the exhaust. The air traveling through the ejector will be forced into the cup, so the air consumption will be equal to, or slightly higher than, the air consumption for producing vacuum. An alternative solution is a small blow-off check valve on a decentralized unit, which typically allows 100-200 Nl/min to pass through at 4-6 bars. In order to calculate the energy consumed, it is required that the compressor efficiency is known. A normal-sized compressor, able to create 7-10 bars of pressure, consumes 6-10 kW per produced cubic meter of air, depending on size and efficiency. The total air consumption for an ejector system per year can easily be calculated by adding the air consumed by vacuum production and the air consumed by blow-off function in each cycle, and then multiplying by the number of cycles per year. Even better is to measure the consumption with a flow meter over the course of a number of cycles. An accepted fact is that the CO2 emissions per produced kWh of electric power will be as follows, depending on the type of production: • Gas: 0.2 kg CO2/kWh • Oil: 0.27 kg CO2/kWh • Coal: 0.33 kg CO2/kWh • Nuclear, Wind, Hydro: 0.0007 kg CO2/kWh Re-calculated for compressed air production, the result is 0.02 – 0.033 kg CO2/m3 if only considering the “dirty” production methods and basing the compressor efficiency on 10 kW per produced cubic meter of air.

* Normal atmospheric pressure (Pa) at sea level.

TABLE 2

Air Consumption for Different Ejector Nozzle Diameters

The ejector’s efficiency is obviously an important parameter to focus on when attempting to minimize energy/air consumption. Ejector efficiency is determined by the vacuum performance (flow and speed of evacuation) in relation to air consumption. Basically, there are two main types of ejectors used in sealed vacuum-handling systems today: single-stage ejectors and multistage ejectors (Fig. 1). The multistage design is more complex and requires more space, but it will always be 15-50% more efficient (same speed/response time with less energy consumption). Therefore, it is important to use a multistage ejector whenever possible. When ejector technology entered the market for vacuum material handling of sealed parts and started to replace electrical-driven vacuum pumps, the main reasons were the simplicity and reliability of the products, as well as the ability to easily control the ejectors’ power during operation. At that time, small ejectors were placed on each suction cup, forming a decentralized system. In many cases, a decentralized system such as this is the most efficient system, as it places suction exactly where it is needed. There is no need for over-dimensioned ejectors to compensate for losses and extra volume. There is also a reduced risk of leakage from fittings and couplings. However, when air-saving technology became available for ejectors, a new trend began. So-called “compact ejectors” (or “smart ejectors”) with integrated control functions, such as valves, vacuum switches, and air-saving functions, flooded the market. These compact ejectors are centrally placed and serve several suction cups. They are usually located a few meters away from the points-of-suction. The air-saving function turns the ejector off when enough vacuum pressure is created, and turns it back on to compensate for any leakage occurring in the system. One major advantage of this system is that the centralized ejector with air-saving function only works for a short period of time during the vacuum-duty cycle, and energy will be saved when compared to the previous decentralized concept (Fig. 2). With the centralized compact ejectors, factors like operational reliability and safety (one ejector per cup), as well as speed of vacuum generation and object release, must be sacrificed to a certain degree. Speed can be compensated for with a very large centralized ejector, but this means much greater energy consumption.

Another issue in utilizing centralized compact ejectors is that the blow-off function has to be very powerful in order to release parts quickly enough. This is because pipes are long and often restricted, leading to large amounts of air consumption during the time needed for blow-off. Table 3 shows a typical work cycle in a sealed vacuum-handling application utilizing a compact ejector with air-saving function. Air consumption occurs during the following phases: 1. Dark blue: Vacuum is started in the system before the actual pick to increase pick-up speed. 2. Blue: Enough vacuum is made in the system to compensate for leakage from fittings and couplings. A few recoveries per cycle are not unusual due to leakage. 3. Red: Object release using positive pressure blow-off 4. Dark red: Excessive blow-off time It is obvious that even with an air-saving function in place, there will be a great deal of compressed air consumed during each cycle.

CAN AIR CONSUMPTION AND CARBON FOOTPRINT BE SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED? A new, compact, decentralized ejector unit with two unique features is the answer to the question of whether or not air consumption and carbon footprint can be substantially reduced with a vacuum system. The two features are the fully pneumatic and internal air-saving device called Vacustat and a new release valve (AQR), which uses the ambient atmosphere to quickly release a handled part. The volume of a single suction cup is so low that atmosphere air is all that is needed. In other words, no compressed air is needed for release, and an automatic air-saving device is in place. This concept offers all the benefits of a decentralized ejector system in terms of reliability, safety, and speed (response and release). The air and energy consumed is virtually nonexistent. There is no compressed air consumption during the release of objects, and the air-saving function does not have to compensate for leakage from multiple fittings and couplings. The volume is so low that the air-saving function will start almost instantly. Time that the ejector must be on before pick-up is also reduced to almost nothing, and there is no need to create a pre-vacuum in the system. It will be fast, regardless. As Table 4 highlights, the pump is only working for an extremely short period of time. Now we will look at a typical sealed vacuum-handling application with the following conditions and requirement: • Cycle time: 10 s • Working hours per year: 6,000 h • Vacuum duty cycle: 5 s • Diameter 75-mm cups: 4 pcs • Response time: max 0,1 – 0,2 s • Release time: < 0,1 s

TABLE 4

Cycle Analysis of a Vacustat-Coax® with AQR  Vacuum pump “on” before pick up/actual pick  Vacuum duty cycle  Pump working in vacuum duty cycle  Release by AQR – no air consumption  Return to start position

1. Previously developed decentralized solutions use approximately 25,000 – 40,000* m3 of air per year. 2. A compact ejector with air-saving function will reduce air consumption to approximately 15,000 – 20,000* m3 of air per year. 3. The Vacustat-COAX®-AQR solution will use about 1,000 m3 of air per year. * Range varies greatly, as it depends on whether single or multistage ejector technology is used. Under these conditions, it is possible to reduce energy consumption by 90-99% by simply using the latest available technology. Returning to our previous equation, we can calculate that 15,000 – 40,000 m3 of air corresponds to approximately 450 – 1,200 kg of carbondioxide emissions if the electrical power is supplied by a coal, oil, or gas plant. This is based only on a single application/station. A typical automotive plant can have up to 400 of these applications in operation. The carbon footprint of vacuum handling in these plants can be between 180,000 and 480,000 kg when utilizing traditional vacuum technology (based on conditions above). When utilizing a Vacustat-COAX® with AQR technology, the carbon footprint can be reduced to only 12,000 kg. In comparison, the average amount of CO2 emitted from one car is 180 g/km. The reduced carbon footprint an automotive plant can achieve per year by using the latest vacuum-handling technology corresponds to 933,333 – 2,600,000 km of driving.

SAFETY FOCUS

Hydraulics and the Environment

omponent failure is often the root cause of hydraulic spills to the environment. In this article, we won’t discuss environmentally friendly fluids, but instead lean more toward the effects of failure and prevention. Spill control methods for hydraulic failure are containment, adsorbents, and establishing protocols. Stepping back to the root cause is where we should focus in an effort to prevent failure and the use of these post controls. Hydraulic component failure is inevitable if you let it happen, however, it is also preventable. A hydraulic component will never get more reliable after its first use; in fact, the moment it is put to use, its life expectancy declines. There is a whole profession and organization that focuses on component and machine reliability, and these reliability experts convey that knowledge and comprehensive maintenance procedures will reduce failures by 90%. Every minute in North America, a hydraulic hose will fail, expelling hydraulic fluid to the surrounding environment. Even if the lost fluid is contained and the area is remediated, the lost fluid should never be returned to the system due to contamination.

WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM | WWW.IFPS.ORG

Component failure is a hazard to the environment.

What am I looking for? An inspection has revealed this hose assembly is damaged and failure is likely to occur. This hose has been stressed or crushed, causing it to flatten at the crimp.

This lost fluid, however, can be recycled, but in most cases, the fluid and adsorbents end up in landfill sites for natural breakdown. There is really no upside to component failure and release to the environment. HSAC recently released a safety poster titled “Near Miss,” which simply states: “If an injury did not result…it’s a reportable near miss.” The image on the poster is a failed hose assembly. We believe recording hydraulic hose failures in the near-miss category will eventually bring this phenomenon real serious attention, as it should! Hydraulic component manufacturers are very good at explaining reliability and the requirements of maintaining a failure-free system. These pointers from manufacturers become industry best practices, which we hope will eventually be adapted into a standard. For more information on containment, adsorbents, biodegradable fluid, spills reporting, and effects on the environment, contact info@hsac.ca.

Q+A

I work in a mine running a piece of equipment with many hydraulic hoses in a “track” system. The hoses in the “track” and elsewhere show damage to the outer covers, and the braided reinforcement wire is exposed and, in many cases, badly corroded. Could you please help me maintain safety in my workplace by providing your input into this situation? When the outer shell of a hydraulic hose has been damaged or has begun to break down, exposing the wire reinforcement, the steel wire immediately begins to corrode. The inner layer of rubber has no strength without sound wire reinforcement. Any hoses that are damaged should be replaced. There is no act or standard that states you must replace the hose, however, legal repercussions can result in the event of a failure causing injury or death, including property and environmental damage. Liability may fall on the persons, supervisor, and company responsible for using components that are visibly damaged where the manufacturer and industry best practices state that they are not safe. A “fraying” hose is not safe and can fail at any time. The overall costs are much higher when failure occurs.

IFPE Fluid Power Zone to Showcase New Fluid Power and Motion Control Technologies IFPE Fluid Power Zone will showcase new fluid power and motion control technologies at the inaugural Motion, Drive & Automation North America (MDA NA) trade show and conference co-located with IMTS at McCormick Place, Chicago, Ill., from September 8-13, 2014. Building off the success of IFPE Fluid Power Zone’s debut at Industrial Automation North America (IANA) 2012, the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) has again partnered with Hannover Fairs USA (HFUSA) to host IFPE Fluid Power Zone at the 2014 Motion, Drive & Automation North America trade show and conference. The dedicated display “Zone” will showcase new and recently launched fluid power and machine control design technologies. “Industrial Automation NA and MDA North America offer platforms for the complete range of automation technologies and innovations from around the world,” said Larry Turner, CEO of HFUSA. “In the IFPE Fluid Power Zone, companies big and small will be launching products that are vitally important to the factory of the future. We’re thrilled to host the IFPE Fluid Power Zone in conjunction with NFPA to offer attendees access to groundbreaking products from leading global companies. Many of the IFPE Fluid Power Zone 2012 exhibitors are returning this year and have booked bigger stands.” The first IFPE Fluid Power Zone took place as part of Industrial Automation North America, which debuted at IMTS in 2012 and attracted 109 exhibitors from 19 countries and over 100,000 visitors from 119 countries (included with IMTS), 91% of whom found a solution to a specific manufacturing problem.

This is the sixth in a series of articles describing NFPA’s actions focused on the development of a program within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that can fund and focus on energy-efficiency improvements using fluid power technology. The envisioned program would be partly research-focused, helping to develop new energy-efficient fluid power technologies, and partly education-focused, helping to improve the design and maintenance of existing fluid power systems with current technologies and techniques. To read the full series, go to www.nfpa.com.

If you’ve been following this series, you know that we have been successful in establishing that fluid power research and education represent significant opportunities to reduce the amount of energy consumed in the United States, especially in the industrial sector. Several interactions with what is now the Advanced By Eric Lanke, Manufacturing Office (AMO) of the U.S. CEO, NFPA Department of Energy have resulted in two areas of possible cooperation—getting fluid power engaged on the U.S. Council of Competitiveness, where future structures and private/public partnerships were being discussed to address energy efficiency, and seeing if fluid power could be better incorporated into the AMO’s existing industrial energy-assessment programs. Last time, I talked about our interactions with the leaders of one of those energy-assessment programs—the Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) Program, where teams located at 24 universities around the country conduct no-cost energy assessments for small and medium-sized manufacturers. We were asked to provide them with information on how to detect and correct inefficiencies in existing fluid power systems and, working with the two content experts we had recruited with the help of our sister association, the International Fluid Power Society, we have begun to develop exactly that. Our hydraulic expert, for example, has since produced a white paper on the subject, which suggests that assessors look for the following potential indicators of hydraulic system inefficiency: • A LARGE HEAT EXCHANGER: One advantage of a hydraulic system is that the fluid has the ability to carry away the heat generated by mechanical inefficiency to a central location where it can be dissipated. A large heat exchanger indicates that a large amount of heat needs to be removed. However, a large heat exchanger is not a litmus test for efficiency. There may be explanations for the heat exchanger that do not include inefficiency. The reservoir may be sitting in the hot sun or snuggled up to another heat source. The heat exchanger may be oversized because it was readily available and is not being used to its capacity. A large heat exchanger is an indicator, but will require more research.

• THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FLUID: The temperature of the fluid in the reservoir can be an indicator, certainly if it is above 45° C. However, the reservoir temperature can be deceiving. If it is a nice cool 35°C, it may only indicate an efficient heat exchanger. The fluid may be traveling across relief valves, through restrictive flow controls, and undersized conductors just before it passes through the heat exchanger. So, hot fluid is certainly a problem, but cool fluid may result from a cover up.

These and eight more indicators are described in the white paper, as well as steps that can be taken to correct the inefficiencies. A full copy of the white paper can be obtained by contacting NFPA. Similar information is also being developed for pneumatic systems. The hydraulic document has already been forwarded to our contacts in the AMO, with the hope that we can re-engage on the question of how this information can be best brought into their assessment programs. When one considers that roughly 3% of all the energy consumed in the United States is consumed by a fluid power system—and almost half of that in the industrial setting—finding ways to improve the efficiency of these existing systems should become a compelling priority. Next time, I’ll loop back and talk about the other opportunity that came out of our discussion with the AMO—getting fluid power engaged on the U.S. Council of Competitiveness, where future structures and private/public partnerships are being discussed to address the commercialization of new energy-efficient technologies. The intent of this series is to keep NFPA members better informed about our efforts in this regard and also to seek their help in advocating for the envisioned program. Please watch this space for more background on this issue, as well as regular updates on our progress. If you would like to become more involved, please contact Eric Lanke directly at (414) 778-3351 or elanke@nfpa.com. Getting industry leaders engaged in this effort will be critical to its ultimate success.

• DARK FLUID: Another indicator would be dark fluid. This is likely fluid that has been oxidized due to high temperature and water contamination. If the fluid is dark, even if the reservoir is cool, you need to hunt down the heat source in the circuit. Knowledge of component symbols is important here. It may allow you to determine the heat-generating culprits while looking at the circuit diagram. If you are not comfortable with your circuit-reading ability or if the culprit is elusive, a heat gun is a handy tool for finding the hot spots. The source could turn out to be an inefficient pump, motor, or leaking cylinder, which would not be obvious in the circuit diagram.

More Than Hot Air: Applying Pneumatic Energy to Automotive Applications By Keith Sneddon, Exelis Electronic Systems

For motorists and vehicle operators concerned with efficiency and reducing their environmental impact, hybrids are an attractive solution. Any vehicle with two or more distinct power sources qualifies as a hybrid, the most popular of which are electric and hydraulic systems. Both technologies are a proven means of improving vehicle efficiency and fuel economy through energy capture, storage, and release. Energy capture is most commonly done through regenerative braking – harvesting the energy produced when a vehicle applies its brakes. This is the main way that the Toyota Prius and other popular hybrid electric vehicles generate supplemental power. It’s also true of hydraulic hybrids, except they store their energy in pressurized fluid rather than electric batteries. Each system has its advantages, disadvantages, and preferred applications. For heavier vehicles like trucks and buses, hydraulic hybrids are often more effective at capturing and

reusing energy. Electric hybrids predominate in smaller vehicles, which do not need as much power to maintain speed as their heavier counterparts do. Hydraulic systems are also popular in heavy-vehicle applications where the cost and weight of effective batteries is prohibitive. Despite their clean energy and environmental benefits, both systems present an “e-waste” risk; old batteries can be harmful if not properly disposed of, and the spilling of hydraulic fluid is a real environmental concern. Both systems also ultimately add drag to vehicles that offsets the efficiency gains they produce.

Masking

true pneumatic or “hybrid air” propulsion system, designed specifically for heavy vehicles, is already demonstrating clear advantages over both electric and hydraulic hybrids. The idea of an air-powered vehicle is not new, but the breakthrough that enabled it is fairly recent. Engineers at Exelis in Amityville, N.Y., a center specializing in high-pressure pneumatics for defense and aerospace applications, figured out how to safely and consistently control very high-pressure air in real-world environments. This innovation gave rise to the first truly feasible “pure air” automotive hybrid system (with no hydraulic motor or components) called the hybrid pneumatic driveline, or HPD. Like other hybrids, the HPD uses regenerative breaking to capture and store energy. When the vehicle brakes, a compressor absorbs energy from the driveline that is stored in the form of compressed air and heat in tanks, rather than in hydraulic fluid or batteries. The weight benefit is immediately clear; no matter how much air you compress, it never gets appreciably heavier. The captured energy is available to be released into an air motor, providing power for acceleration and reducing the engine’s workload, fuel consumption, and emissions. A pure air hybrid avoids the complications posed by batteries, including limited lifespan, and can convert that stored energy into useable power far more quickly and effectively than electric batteries or hydraulic fluid.

OEM

ENHANCED PARALLEL ARCHITECTURE In general, there are two ways an alternate power source can provide power to a hybrid vehicle’s driveline: in parallel, where both sources can turn the vehicle’s transmission simultaneously, and in series, where the internal combustion engine does not power the vehicle directly but a generator, which transmits power to the wheels. The HPD combines elements of both architectures. By controlling aspects of the vehicle’s normal transmission, this “enhanced parallel” design can realize much of the system efficiency gains of a full parallel system without a radical change to the vehicle’s basic driveline configuration. This approach makes it straightforward to retrofit systems to existing vehicles rather than being limited to new production models.

DESIGNED TO HELP MAKE HEAVY VEHICLES LIGHTER AND CLEANER The entry point for the HPD will be refuse collection trucks. Lab trials of the system show promising results, and work is underway to begin trials on real refuse collection routes. The benefits of this system over hydraulic and electric hybrids are clear in terms of the efficiencies, which include up to 25% fuel economy and corresponding emissions and particulate pollution reductions, as well as reduced wear and tear on vehicle brakes. The low cost and inherently longer service lifetime of pure air hybrid technology makes it an attractive prospect for heavy vehicles that make frequent stops, especially when multiplied across large fleets.

WHY THE TECHNOLOGY WORKS – AND WHY IT MATTERS Compressed air has a fundamental physics advantage over other materials (like hydraulic fluid or batteries) with regard to power density. It provides efficiency gains – fuel economy and emissions reductions – without the cost, weight, or environmental risks associated with electric and hydraulic hybrids. In general, pure air hybrid technology promises to be lighter in weight, more efficient, and cleaner than existing systems. The high pressures at which the HPD operates were not previously manageable in real-world environments. With that problem solved, the technology lends itself well to a wide range of applications. Regenerative braking on buses, delivery trucks, or railroad cars would be excellent automotive-use cases. There are many other conceivable applications. Windmills for generating clean energy, for example. In windy locations, excess energy can be stored and used to supplement turbine spinning on quiet days, reducing shocks to power generation and smoothing power supply.

FLE IBILITY IN GRIPPER SELECTION With an increasing breadth of variations in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s applications for automation, and due to part and space constraints, it is good to have options when it comes to selecting the best gripper for an application. SCHUNK addresses this issue with flexible gripper families and different options to fit applications that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compromise design. The PGN-plus and PZNplus families provide almost 180 different stroke and grip-force combinations, as well as five different sensing methods, along with several other standard options for different application environments.

size ratio; robust guidance for high-moment loads and long finger lengths; excellent repeatability; and multiple sizes, versions, and accessories. Even though they share many of these benefits in varying degrees, each family has its own main focus. The PWG-plus is a 2-finger angular gripper family that offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio. The 2-finger parallel JGP and 3-finger concentric JGZ families offer T-slot guidance gripper for highmoment loads and provide great performance at a reasonable cost. The PGN-plus and PZN-plus families are a step up from the JGP and JGZ, and are recognized as the most popular of the SCHUNK universal gripper families. They supply multi-toothed guidance with the most flexibility and options for accessories. The DPG-plus and DPZ-plus are sealed grippers, based on the guidance of the PGN-plus family, and provide complete protection in harsh environments. All the universal families have identical gripper mounting.

STROKE AND GRIP FORCE In applications with restrictions on the size or weight of the tooling, the size of the gripper can be reduced by selecting an option that will increase the grip force of the end effector. This provides the advantage of using a smaller component, reducing the overall weight of the tooling. Using a universal PGN-plus or PZN-plus gripper with a spring housing (AS/IS), wedge angle (stroke 1/2), or a double piston (KVZ) could provide as many as ten different grip forces and strokes. To further increase the flexibility, any combination of these three options can be used.

SENSORS In most applications, gripper feedback is desired, such as “part-present”, “open,” “closed,” or additional feedback. The universal gripper families offer five options: magnetic sensors (MMS), inductive sensors (INW), five-position magnetic sensors (FPS), analog positioning (APS), and force sensor (FMS). For sensing the “open”, “closed,” or “partpresent” position, the magnetic and inductive sensors are perfect. If more flexibility is desired, the five-position magnetic sensor allows the ability to sense “open”, “closed,” and up to three different finger positions. This option is needed, for example, when handling different work pieces with no additional set-up. Taking it one step further, an analog sensor provides the ability to measure the position of the gripper jaws and actually gauge the gripped parts. The force sensor allows measurement and control of the grip force applied to the part.

EVEN MORE OPTIONS To further increase the flexibility of the gripper are accessories like quick-change fingers (BSWS) and finger blanks (ABR/SBR) to provide a head start on finger design and manufacturing. For applications with varying part dimensions, the quick-change fingers quickly adapt the gripper to different work pieces without changing the entire end effector. Additional standard options include Viton seals, anti-corrosive versions, dust covers (SAD), PVC protective boots (HUE), and safety devices to maintain grip force if air pressure is lost (SDV-P). The Viton seals will come into action for high-temperature environments, while the dust covers, PVC covers, and anti-corrosive versions protect against other environmental concerns that would normally reduce a gripper’s cycle life. With the universal gripper families, there are hundreds of standard options available to fit any application requirements, such as high temperature, long stroke, and high grip forces. They are sealed for applications requiring up to IP67.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE R-DRILL SOLUTION Regulations requiring improved fuel economy and reduced emissions are driving new engine technologies. These new requirements must be met while still satisfying customer demand for more powerful engines. Fuel-injector technology continues to evolve to meet this demand for better and cleaner performance. The R-Drill solution is suitable for manufacturing fuel injectors because it creates precise micro holes in a single

process, achieving part-to-part consistency that has enabled customers to win new business and increase market share with engine manufacturers. The R-Drill enables industrial and medical manufacturers to • capture production savings by drilling faster (<1 sec through 1.2 mm 316 SS) through thicker materials than the company’s previous commercial offerings; • produce parts with intricate hole features not previously possible in an all-laser manufacturing process, including perfectly round holes, elliptical holes, square holes, positive and negative tapers, micron-sized entrance and exit features, and holes that alter shape and profile from the top to the bottom of the part; and • eliminate months of iterative machine shopbased prototyping of new parts [e.g. gas direct (GDi) fuel injector nozzles] with the company’s 24-hour print-to-part software.

1-step, permanent blind displacement anchor, or

tiny technical marvel? Fasten in seconds – literally! No prep. No drilling. No metal chips.

WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM | WWW.IFPS.ORG

Automobile manufacturers are ramping utilization of GDi in next-generation engines to capture 20-30% fuel savings and realize higher emissions reductions amidst increasing regulations. Prototyping time for new nozzle designs is reduced from weeks in the machine shop to 24 hours with the R-Drill, dramatically accelerating design optimization and time to market. In addition, the R-Drill enables customers to reduce drilling time by approximately 30% while increasing yield to nearly 100%. The yield result is directly related to the part-to-part consistency delivered by the R-Drill, and there is no need for expensive post-processing to correct heataffected zone (HAZ) damage.

GRIPNAIL Metal-Tacks® are engineered to attach name plates, wiring clips and components to pressurized devices and equipment — without drilling. Drive into virtually any metal to create a durable blind displacement anchor that will hold over 200 lbs. Metal-Tack fasteners also ensure that your product will never be compromised by over penetration.

‰ CERTIFICATION SUCCESS PROFILE

Profile Data Dr. Brian Steward, PhD, PE, CFPHS, has taught fluid power courses since 1999 when he joined the faculty of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State University. He developed a fluid power lab that is used for engineering and technology courses. His educational background includes degrees in Electrical Engineering and Agricultural Engineering from South Dakota State University and University of Illinois. Before studying at Illinois, he worked for five years at Raven Industries designing flow-control systems for agriculture. He is the first instructor to take advantage of the FPEF grant for a free certification test, and he successfully obtained his IFPS Hydraulic Specialist (HS) certification.

‰ WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THE IFPS HYDRAULIC SPECIALIST CERTIFICATION TEST?

‰ HOW AND WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO APPLY FOR THE FPEF GRANT?

I knew about the IFPS certification program for several years and wanted to become certified. One main reason that I wanted to be certified was that my example, as the instructor of the fluid power courses at Iowa State, would be an encouragement for my students to become certified, as well. Certification or other credentialing is important, because it demonstrates that as a professional, you have entered into a “community of practice,” and the community has formally recognized you as a competent member. Certification is part of becoming a professional.

I had been planning to move forward with IFPS certification for several years, but was not able move it to the top of my priority list. However, when I learned about the grant, I decided to take the opportunity because it provided incentive to move ahead with the process. I had also wanted to start promoting certification to the students in my fluid power courses, but thought it would be best to first go through the process so that I could better promote with the knowledge gained.

‰ WHAT DID THE PROCESS TEACH YOU?

‰ WHAT SPECIFICALLY DOES IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY OFFER STUDENTS INTERESTED IN BECOMING CERTIFIED? WHY DO YOU FEEL THESE INITIATIVES ARE SO IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS AND FOR THE FUTURE OF THE FLUID POWER INDUSTRY?

Whenever I have gone through any credentialing process, including IFPS certification, I have learned more clearly how the community approaches and views the technical content and the professional practice of that community.

We offer two courses at Iowa State specifically focused on fluid power. One course, Fluid Power Engineering, is offered to engineering students, and the other class, Fluid Power System Technology is taught at a technology level for our technology programs.

Don’t DRAIN Your PROFITS

Remove Compressed Air Condensate Efficiently

air compressor makes more than com‰ Your pressed air. In the process of squeezing atmo-

spheric air into compressed air, heat and water are produced. The compressed air coming out of the compression element is very hot and totally saturated with water vapor. If this water vapor is not removed, it will condense, causing water contamination as the air BY RON MARSHALL cools in the pipes and hoses in the plant. FOR THE COMPRESSED AIR On a hot summer day, say 90°F with 80% relative CHALLENGE humidity, a 50-hp compressor delivering 200 cfm of compressed air at 100°F squeezes 2.1 gallons of water per hour from the atmospheric air, or more than enough to fill a 40-gallon drum per day. On a cooler day, say 70°F and 70% relative humidity, the compressor produces only 0.6 gallons of condensed water per hour due to drier conditions. On an even cooler day, perhaps 35°F, only about 0.2 gallons per hour of water will saturate out—or ten times less than the worst-case conditions. The system moisture loading is variable and depends on the ambient conditions. If the ambient temperature of the plant is lower than the 100-degree discharge, let’s say 70°F, then another 0.36 gallons per hour of water will saturate out as the compressed air cools if the air is not dried somehow. This water will collect in low spots in the system and will pick up rust, dirt, and lubricant, forming an ugly brown mixture that will contaminate downstream processes and equipment. Worst-case scenario would be the contamination of a final product, such as a food source or moisture-sensitive chemical. To prevent water from causing problems, some of the moisture is removed by air dryers that reduce the dew point of the pressurized air to levels much lower than the lowest ambient conditions. Typical general drying reduces the dew point to about 40°F using refrigerated air dryers. For a dryer sized for a 200-cfm compressor, this type of

dryer would remove about 0.5 gallons of water per hour from a 100°F stream of saturated air. Desiccant dryers could be used if the compressed air pipes are 2 exposed to very cold ambient conditions or if the process being supplied is very sensitive to moisture. To dry the air FIGURE 1: down to -40°F dew point from +40°F conditions, only 0.07 gallons of additional water per hour must be removed. If all this condensed water were left to collect inside the system volume, the receivers and pipes would evenFIGURE 3: tually fill up. There needs to be a way to drain away the condensate and because the flow of the drainage is variable, the drainage must be set to a rate high enough to cover the worst-case conditions, even though these conditions may only occur one or two times per year. There are numerous ways to accomplish condensate drainage. The simplest, but most expensive, way is to simply crack open the drain at each condensate accumulation point. This leaks an expensive flow of compressed air in all conditions, as the flow doesn’t vary with moisture loading. Draining 10 cfm of air at a manual drain would cost about $2,200 per year at typical power costs of $0.10 per kWh. If this drain were fitted with a timer solenoid set at a fixed 20% FIGURE 2: duty cycle, the cost would reduce to $440 per year, but again the duty cycle does not vary with demand. Fitting the drain with an airless drain would reduce the annual electrical operating cost to near zero and provide automatic adjustment through varying ambient conditions. All drains must be maintained to ensure proper operation, but which are the most important? In consulting with previously calculated water content, it can be seen that 80% of the water needs to be removed at the compressor separator, with the remaining amount being removed at the dryer. Thus, care should be taken to ensure adequate drainage at this important point. If the compressor drains fail, the condensate will make its way to the air dryer. Air dryers are not designed to handle free water, so therefore the dryer will be overwhelmed, causing moisture FIGURE 3: problems downstream. It is very common to see additional drains installed to prevent moisture problems caused by a failed upstream drain. The more drains installed, the higher the system loading and the more condensate the compressor produces. Installing additional drainage can produce negative results and higher operating costs.

‰ ECONOMIC REPORT

BY CHA D MOU TR CHIEF ECONO AY NATION MIST AL ASS OC OF MA NUFAC IATION TURER S (NAM)

Global Manufacturing Update June 13, 2014—Global growth has been slower than desired in the early months of 2014, and as a result, we have seen many analysts—including me—downgrade their forecasts for this year. Indeed, the latest World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects now predicts global GDP growth of 2.8% for the year, down from the 3.2% forecast in January. Much of that stems from softer growth in the first half of the year in the United States and decelerated activity in the emerging markets. Brazil, Russia, and China experienced contracting manufacturing activity levels in May, with only India experiencing modest growth.

CIRCLE 413

WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM | WWW.IFPS.ORG

The good news is that the global economy is anticipated to pick up in the second half of this year, continuing into next year. The World Bank estimates real GDP growth of 3.4% in 2015, with the U.S. economy expanding by 3.0%. This would be consistent with the relatively upbeat outlook seen in the most recent

National Association of Manufacturers (NAM)/ IndustryWeek Survey of Manufacturers. Still, there continues to be threats to growth that could dampen these predictions, including deflationary risks in Europe, tighter monetary policies in the United States, and a number of geopolitical struggles. For example, crude oil

CIRCLE 414

prices have risen sharply in the past few days to around $107 a barrel this morning because of confrontations in Iraq and worries about energy supplies. In general, manufacturing activity worldwide continues to expand modestly, but at varying paces across a number of nations. The JPMorgan Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) increased slightly, up from 51.9 in April to 52.2 in May. Yet, five of the top 10 markets for U.S.-manufactured goods had declining levels of activity for the month, up from two in March and zero in December. China tops this list, having experienced its fifth consecutive monthly contraction despite some easing in the pace of the monthly decline. Three of the other four countries with contractions were also in Asia, including Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea. Meanwhile, Brazil has now contracted for two straight months, which is perhaps not the way it wanted to kick off the World Cup. At the other end of the spectrum, we continue to see strong growth in the United Kingdom and the United States, both of which saw heavy production gains in May. Meanwhile, European economies continue to experience slight expansions, but growth eased in May. The Markit Eurozone Manufacturing PMI decreased from 53.4 to 52.2, its slowest pace since November, but the 11th straight month of expanding levels of activity. This resulted from a deceleration in new orders, output, exports, and hiring. Nonetheless, growth in the Eurozone remains subpar, with real GDP up just 0.2% in the first quarter and expected to increase around 1% in 2014 as a whole. Still, retail sales have increased in each of the first four months of 2014, and industrial production increased at its fastest pace since November. Yet, the big worry in Europe continues to be deflation. Producer prices fell 0.1% in the Eurozone in April, with declines of 1.2% year-overyear. At the same time, annual inflation has fallen to 0.5%. Fears about deflation and slow growth have prompted the European Central Bank (ECB) to take actions to further stimulate the Eurozone economy at its June 5 meeting, cutting its main interest rate to 0.15%. In essence, the ECB will charge negative interest rates on bank deposits in an effort to spur institutions to lend more, and there is some speculation that it might pursue a more aggressive asset-purchasing program in the future, if needed. On the policy front, there is an increased focus on both a business and policy perspective in India, with its election of a new prime minister, and Europe, which also elected a new parliament and is constituting a new commission. Trade negotiations in the Asia-Pacific and

Europe continue, but work needs to be done on both. Domestically, there is a heavy U.S. focus on the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank before its expiration on September 30 and passage of a new Miscellaneous Tariff Bill, which has lagged more than 17 months, as well as new legislation on trade secrets.

Partnering with Manufacturers to Achieve Energy Savings

SMC

Corp. of America, a supplier of factory automation components, has been working with manufacturers for nearly a decade to reduce their compressed air costs. The program’s goals are to assist customers with resource conservation efforts, raise awareness of available energy-saving measures, and develop products suitable for reducing compressed air costs while increasing productivity. The company offers an extensive list of products designed to reduce energy consumption and lower the cost of ownership of automated machinery. These products can be applied at the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) level, as well as retrofitted to existing machinery. The following general guidelines should be observed: • Near the air inlet, there should be an identification plate showing »» the minimum air pressure required, »» the average air consumption per machine cycle, and »» the required flow rate (peak air flow). • If an air-quality standard for water content (pressure dew point) is called for, that qualifier should be noted on the identification plate, as well. • The machine should be designed to operate with an air pressure as low as reasonable. • Verify that the end user will have the compressed air capacity available to operate properly. • If there are limited applications within the machine that require a higher pressure, consider the use of a booster to supply flow to just those locations.

• The operating program should include measures that will automatically shut off the inlet air during prolonged downtime.

Air Preparation • A 3-port shut-off valve with lock-out/tag-out should be included to remove inlet pressure during maintenance or extended downtime. • A water-removal filter should be included to remove any water that might be present in the air lines. • Inlet air filters should »» be sized for pressure drop across the element less than 3 psi, »» meet the filtration rating determined by the component supplier, »» be equipped with an automatic drain to reduce routine maintenance, »» be designed to indicate when the element should be replaced, and »» if necessary, include a coalescing filter and/or odor-removal filter.

• Pressure regulators should be tamper resistant to avoid inappropriate changes. • If air pressures will need to be changed often, use an electro-pneumatic regulator controlled by the machine's PLC. • A final safety valve should include a combination E-stop, quick exhaust, soft start, and a second lock-out/tag-out. • If shutdown redundancy per ISO 13849-1 is required, consider a Category 3 and Category 4 safety shut-off valve. • If the compressed air is lubricated, a re-classifier can be included to capture and contain the entrained oil rather than exhausting it to the work area.

Sustainability • Install an ALDS (Automatic Leak Detection System) that will cycle through the pneumatic system during downtime, measuring and recording any air leaks found at the component level. OR • Install flow meters and pressure switches at the air inlet to measure and record air usage. OR • At minimum, flow meters and pressure switches should be installed on start-up to document initial air usage. Those start-up numbers can be compared with later measurements of air usage to determine if machine efficiencies have degraded over time.

Training needs to address awareness and promote a cultural shift from “production at all costs” to “let’s reduce our production costs.” Existing machines

need to be evaluated and improved so that operating costs are kept in check. New machines need to be designed and specified with not only productivity goals, but also energy targets in mind. Total cost of ownership, sustainability, reliability, and productivity all need to be defined whenever machines are put into production.

• Minimize the distance between the directional control valves and the actuators to reduce wasted air volume. • Use tamper-resistant flow control valves on the actuators. • Include residual pressure-release valves at select locations for manual relief of trapped air pressures. • If the flow-control valves need to be adjusted often, consider the use of electronically controlled proportional valves operated by the machine's controller. • If significant areas of the machine can operate at lower pressures, install regulators to reduce pressure to those areas. • If the machine will be subject to wash down, specify epoxy-coated or stainless steel components. • Any air blow should include an engineered nozzle, a pressure regulator set for optimum impact force, and a solenoid valve to shut off the air supply during idle time. • Blowguns, if included, should be of an efficient design and meet OSHA requirements. • Low-wattage coils (0.5 watts or less) should be employed on all solenoid valves. • If actuators require thrust in one direction only, investigate lowering pressure on the return stroke. Alternative speed/pressure control valves may need to be included. • If a machine failure might result in a cylinder causing tooling/product damage or operator injury, examine a fine-lock or end-lock option. • Always include a high-quality muffler on all air exhausts to minimize noise.

Vacuum Components • Venturi-style vacuum ejectors can be employed in non-continuous applications, but they should include the following: »» A tamper-resistant regulator »» Warning when air pressure exceeds optimum (usually 65 psi) »» Multiple-stage vacuum ejectors for best efficiency »» Vacuum switches as part of a control system used to shut off the air supply when

HOW DID YOU CELEBRATE? All individuals who submitted pictures of their June 19th activities were entered into the American Express gift card contest. The following individuals were randomly selected by the IFPS to receive a $50 AMEX gift card:

hank you to all who celebrated June 19th – the first Fluid Power Professionals’ Day. The IFPS received emails from professionals of the industry sharing how they enjoyed the day. One great example came from Kraft Fluid Systems (pictured above). They celebrated by closing early and inviting all the employees back for some squirt gun games and BBQ! In honor of the day, IFPS randomly selected three members to receive IFPS promo packs, including a free one-year membership. Congratulations to Todd Welsh, CFPS, CFPECS, Hydraquip-CSI; Stephen McAuley, CFPS, Motion Industries; and Gary Borgman, CFPCC, Pirtek Space Coast. IFPS Chapter 49/50 held its first-ever South Florida 49’ers meeting on Fluid Power Professionals’ Day (June 19) at Hydraulic Supply in Sunrise, Fla. Twenty two (22) people attended, and plans were made for organizing local training, certification, and future meetings to be held in the South Florida area. After the general meeting, a special presentation was made in honor of Fluid Power Professionals’ Day highlighting the life and accomplishments of Blaise Pascal. Hydraulic Supply provided shirts, pizza, and refreshments for all 22 attending Fluid Power Professionals.
