IFPS Meets Emerging Trends and Technology with Significant Updates BY DONNA POLLANDER, ACA, IFPS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

There are some really exciting things going on at IFPS… updates to our flagship certifications, development of a NEW certification, a new logo, and a brand-new website! Several years ago, the Board of Directors made the decision to review and update each certification program every five years. Historically this has been a “clean-up” process, reviewing the current Study Manual and certification tests to make sure all outcomes are clear and concise, and that the test questions are objectively written and properly representative of the material covered. During the most recent revisions of the Hydraulic Specialist (HS) and Pneumatic Specialist (PS) certifications, we decided to perform what we called a “mini-DACUM” (DACUM is an acronym for Developing A Curriculum). Developing a curriculum for industry certifications is a process that incorporates the use of a focus group, in a facilitated story-boarding process, to capture the major duties and related tasks included in an occupation, as well as the necessary knowledge, skills, and traits. We felt we had the crux of information for each certification but wanted to–not start from scratch, per se, but–review all material covered for relevance and to look at new, emerging technologies and trends to ensure our certifications are as well-rounded as possible. It was important that we reviewed the order of outcomes in the Study Manuals, as we wanted the test-taker to review the Study Manual in a logical order. We’ve completely revised the formulas for both certifications, making complicated equations simpler to solve. All equations are now listed in both metric and imperial units. In fact, all units in both certifications are listed in metric and imperial, and each certification test reflects a mix of questions in metric and imperial. Along with the features listed, we added a Safety and Energy Tips section throughout the manuals. Another exciting project we’re developing is interactive Study Manuals, or online certification review training modules. This “at your own pace” training takes each Study Manual outcome and uses animation and video to aid the test-taker in preparation for the certification test. The Hydraulic Specialist interactive manual will be released in September and the Pneumatic Specialist version shortly thereafter. Work has begun on the development of the Electronic Controls Technician certification. IFPS defines an Electronic Controls Technician as an individual responsible to work either under supervision or independently on industrial or mobile fluid power and automation systems. Technicians are not responsible for designing control systems; however, they are required to be capable of properly installing, troubleshooting, testing, repairing, and modifying electronic control systems and have the knowledge necessary to support and maintain these systems. A three-hour written exam, as well as a three-hour Job Performance Test or practical exam are slated to be released in 2018. And be on the look-out for a brand-new, updated logo for the IFPS. We’re proud of our new look, and I’m sure you will be as impressed with it as we are. You will see the new logo and read more about the development process on page 30. We are also working on a brand-new website with hopes to roll it out in the first quarter of 2018. The new website will not only have an exciting new look, but will have more enhancements and robust capabilities. None of these exciting changes would be possible without the tireless efforts of our many volunteers and our dedicated staff. It’s truly a humbling experience to work with each of them!

TO TRANSFORM THE DRIVING TECHNIQUES OF AUTOMOBILE USERS

RISING INTEREST IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES CREATES VAST GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FOR SENSOR DEVELOPERS

The growing popularity of autonomous vehicles is enhancing the need for improved vehicle and occupant safety, opening up the market to advanced automotive sensor technologies. The integration of sensors and actuators into automotive control systems optimizes driver and passenger comfort, as well as the performance of the vehicle by increasing its durability and reliability. Promising sensor technology applications include collision warning, night vision, traffic signal recognition, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, lane departure warning, emergency braking, parking assistance, and pedestrian detection. Innovations in Automotive Sensors is part of Frost & Sullivan’s Sensors and Instrumentation Growth Partnership Subscription. The study analyzes some of the path-breaking emerging sensor technologies that can energize the automotive sector. The key sensing technologies covered in this research include light detection and ranging (LiDAR), image, touch, gesture recognition, inertial, pressure, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer, anisotropic magneto-resistive (AMR), giant magneto-resistance (GMR), and biometric sensors and gyros. While sensor technology powers numerous products and applications, it is beset by several inherent reliability and accuracy issues. Once these issues are ironed out through further advancements, automotive participants will replace all bulky testing and diagnostic devices with sleeker products that employ miniaturized sensors. Additionally, automotive manufacturers will be keen on comprehensive solutions that use different sensing technologies and sensor fusion. Manufacturers of autonomous vehicles will also be eager to partner with sensor manufacturers that enable functionalities such as wireless communication and 3D vision depth.

VALIDATING

AIRCRAFT HYDRAULICS

I In many competitive application areas, engineers and designers are faced with steadily increasing pressures to keep pace with innovation and new technology, get to market faster, and optimize resources, both in cost and in man-hours. This is especially true for today’s commercial and military aircraft industry, where there is little room for error, and components must not only work individually, but must also integrate seamlessly with a complex system with numerous variables and external influences.

MANUFACTURERS DIRECTORY 2017

WITH A FULL-SCALE TEST CELL Hydraulic systems in today’s aircraft present substantial challenges for designers. For example, designs must be lightweight, high performance, reliable, and cost effective. After designing the system with specific component types and sizes—such as valves, pumps, motors, and tubing—and detailing their locations and inter-component routing paths, designers must then verify the performance of each component, as well as performance for the overall system. They must ensure proper function under a long list of normal, adverse, and even extreme conditions, including temperature swings, thermal cycling, and g-force. Each component must function per the design intent, and the entire system must work together as anticipated. Given the complexity of aerospace systems and their mission-critical nature, designers must verify the system dynamics, transient response, and load capacity on the ground prior to deploying it into

an aircraft. Similarly, component vendors want to ensure—with a high level of confidence—that the final set of selected components and arrangements are compliant with system-level specifications before shipping the components to the end user. This testing process is complicated by the number of factors that can affect overall system performance in addition to the performance of individual components. Component arrangement, configuration of interconnect tubing, and even the system routing can all add variables that must be considered, tested, and addressed. Obvious problems, such as improperly sized and selected components (valves, pumps, or reservoirs), for example, will negatively impact performance. But less-obvious problems, such as tube size and even bend radius of tubing, can cause significant and sometimes unexpected performance issues. All these variables must be considered individually and as part of the whole system.

WWW.FLUIDPOWERJOURNAL.COM • WWW.IFPS.ORG

Since component suppliers must find and resolve system-level problems to optimize performance and accuracy, it is imperative to conduct a credible, in-depth assessment of the complete configuration’s performance in the most efficient and reliable way possible. CASE STUDY An aerospace hydraulics component vendor contracted Wineman Technology Inc. to build a test stand using actual components, tubing, and configuration to create an exhaustive test suite for performing data analysis. To begin the project, the customer provided 3D CAD geometry files of the aircraft hydraulics design, along with a detailed bill of material (BOM) for the hydraulic components to be used, many of which were specifically designed for this aircraft and required component-level testing prior to system-level testing (Fig. 1). The geometry files were converted into a form that could be used by a numerically controlled bending machine to produce tubing to match the exact aircraft geometry and volume. The accuracy of the tubing bends was critical for proper system-level testing because it allowed designers to validate the design and routing of the tubing while simulating actual flight maneuvers using the hydraulic components in the aircraft. Steel tubing was used for this testing since the actual magnesium tubing is expensive,

FIG. 1 CAD drawing showing a system similar to the one designed for the customer hard to obtain, and difficult to modify for sensors and fittings. This carefully constructed system matched volumetric conditions to better than 1%, including tubing bends, lengths, and diameters. As a result, it was a very close replication of the actual aircraft’s set-up, and could be used to test and assess operation with high credibility and low risk. INSTRUMENTATION AND SOFTWARE To instrument the test stand, National Instruments CompactDAQ hardware was used, a rugged data acquisition platform that integrates connectivity and signal conditioning into modular I/O to directly interface with sensors and signals.

NI CompactDAQ includes • Sensor-based I/O modules with signal-conditioning functions (amplification, filtering, excitation, and isolation) for accurate sensor measurements • General-purpose I/O modules supporting a broad range of analog and digital input and output • Chassis and controllers to control the timing, synchronization, and data transfer between I/O modules In addition, by using NI LabVIEW software, Wineman created a custom user interface, allowing the customer to build test profiles, run durability cycles (such as ramping a pump

through speed cycles), and operate control valves to simulate user flaps with the actuators (prime movers) under load. Thanks to its 50 kSPS data acquisition rate, the system could provide accurate measurement of transient impulse respond—a critical concern where “shock waves” (similar to water hammer) and their detrimental effects are a major concern. RESULTS The final turnkey solution delivered allowed flexibility and customization, with options for

adding additional test requirements later as desired. Using LabVIEW, the customer could schedule repeated “hands-off” tests with loops or specify a number of simulations, such as 20 bank turns or 45 take-off/landing cycles, adding varying operating conditions if desired. A hardware-based test stand such as this one addresses the multiple challenges that today’s product suppliers, designers, and OEMs face including • More complex designs • Increased performance demands

• Additional constraints of size, cost, and power • Shorter project completion times and tighter deadlines • More comprehensive testing required before delivery • Less time for redesign • Increased reliance by end-users on component suppliers to provide configurations and detailed BOMS to meet specs with a high level of confidence and low risk • Necessary adherence to detailed regulatory standards for performance verification WHY MODELING AND SIMULATION ALONE WILL NOT WORK There’s no doubt that today’s modeling and simulation tools are advanced and powerful, and have improved by several orders of magnitude in just a few decades. Today’s finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and hydraulic applications can deliver impressive results in many situations and within reasonable time. As a result, a software-based model and simulation approach may seem a technically attractive approach for an aircraft hydraulics-related test and verification project in terms of cost and time, but it doesn’t capture the reality of the design and implementation. A real-world hydraulics system has many hard-to-model aspects, including variables that are seemingly mundane yet are quite important, such as the effect of bends in tubing (gently curved, sharp 90° turn, or with a radius somewhere in-between) on fluid flow and pressure. Even if the model is approximately accurate—it could be, if enough time and effort is put into it—the problem is that a real system has hundreds of these tubing bends. All modest individual approximations and their associated errors in the model add up to a large aggregate error in the subsequent simulation. This makes the model’s result nearly useless except as a very rough “first-pass” approximation and performance check to see if the design is anywhere close to being adequate. That coarse level of accuracy is, of course, not acceptable given the critical nature of the application and the need to have a high level of confidence in the result. So, while there may be non-hardware-based simulation alternatives for some situations, designers find that for sophisticated hydraulic systems with complex configurations and critical applications, a hardware-based test rig and appropriate data acquisition/control instrumentation—combined with a flexible user interface—is a very time- and cost-effective solution. It offers minimum risk while yielding a high level of confidence in the result.

Second FPIC Seminar on Additive Manufacturing Continues Successful Series

CRS SERVICE, INC

BY ERIC LANKE, NFPA PRESIDENT/CEO

On June 2, 2017, I had the privilege of attending the second seminar of MSOE’s new Fluid Power Industrial Consortium (FPIC). Through a quarterly series of half-day seminars on the latest fluid power technology advances with immediate implementation, FPIC provides a platform for fluid power OEMs, manufacturers, SMEs, and distributors to network, problem solve, and access cutting-edge technology. NFPA is a supporting partner of FPIC. As a result, NFPA member companies are exempt from the annual FPIC membership fee and are able to participate freely in the quarterly seminars. Members of NFPA’s Roadmap Committee, who assist us in maintaining the NFPA Technology Roadmap, are especially encouraged to participate. It is expected that FPIC seminar topics will provide Roadmap Committee members with an ideal way to stay abreast of the technological advancements that will influence the direction of our roadmap. The seminar on June 2 was a great example of this process in action. Twenty-five people, including sixteen NFPA members, were in attendance, and they heard presentations on cutting-edge additive manufacturing applications for today’s and tomorrow’s fluid power industry. Additive manufacturing is one of the enabling technologies recently highlighted on the Fluid Power Manufacturing Roadmap, so it was great to see both how fluid power companies are and could use this technology to improve their products and their bottom lines.

PRESENTATIONS INCLUDE How to Use Advanced Software and 3D Printing to Create High Quality Castings for the Fluid Power Industry Terry Senish, Director of Technology Applications, ExOne Americas This was a presentation with a lot of practical application for fluid power manufacturers, some of whom are beginning to find value in the 3D printing of fixtures and castings for the traditional production of their parts. Terry told us that ExOne’s additive processes create cores and castings that can cast all the metals that are used to construct standard fluid power components. Additive Manufacturing: Transitioning from Prototyping to Production Ankit Saharan, Senior Applications Developer, EOS North America This presentation was more forward-looking for the fluid power industry, assessing the state-of-the-art of current additive technologies and their possible application to the direct printing of fluid power components. Ankit’s firm works with many different industries to create 3D-printed parts, but the firm hasn’t yet worked with a fluid power manufacturer. In the discussion that followed, it was agreed that a real opportunity existed to start printing some fluid power prototypes, and then use the testing labs and facilities at MSOE to validate the material strengths and properties of the resulting parts. Following these presentations, our seminar host, Michael Reader, president of Precision Plus, spoke to the group about some of the outreach and workforce development programs he has led at his company, a manufacturer of precision turned parts for fluid power and several other industries. I thought his partnership with his local technical college and the many internship positions he offers to high school students was a model for other NFPA members to follow.

NFPA Hosts 2017 Spring ISO/TC 131 Meetings NFPA recently hosted a week-long group of 40+ delegates representing the U.S. and other International Standards Organization (ISO) member bodies from around the world in San Antonio, Tex. There were 15 U.S. experts from various U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) attending on behalf of the U.S. fluid power industry. The remaining delegates came from China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Along with the TC 131 plenary meeting, subcommittees and working groups met individually

to discuss ongoing projects, systematic reviews of older standards, and proposals on new areas of work on topics such as energy efficiency, water hydraulics, and fluid power terminology.

MEETING HIGHLIGHTS In the working group on positive-displacement pumps, motors, and integral transmissions – method of testing, Jack Johnson from the U.S. addressed many concerns resulting

from a recent new work item proposal ballot mathematical models for positive displacement pumps. This standard is being proposed by the U.S. to become a starting point for efficiency standards in hydraulics, much like there are in the electric industry. The experts agreed that there was merit in using a model to reduce the number of testing points and decrease manufacturing costs. However, they felt that additional research needed to be done in this area before an actual standard could be developed. They

have asked the U.S. experts to provide further information to the mirror technical advisory groups in other countries so that individual countries could have a national discussion prior to the next international meeting. The working group on fluid power vocabulary continues to add to and revise the “living” standard (ISO 5598) on fluid power terms, symbols, and definitions. This standard, currently at 190 pages, continues to grow along with the industry. Group discussion included how to manage changes, number the clauses, and the possibility of eventually having an electronic version of the standard. In the pneumatic-control products committee, the work continues on the measurement of minimum shifting operating pressure of pneumatic valves and the measurement of shifting time of pneumatic poppet valves. In the TC 131 plenary meeting, the delegates listened to two new proposals regarding EPPR valves for excavators from South Korea and the need for ADS (water hydraulics) standards from Japan. Upon a lengthy discussion and many questions from the experts, neither proposal garnered approval to move forward.

ARE MANUFACTURERS POISED FOR GROWTH IN THE NEXT 6-12 MONTHS? WHY OR WHY NOT?



COX: I do believe that most manufacturers are poised for growth in the next 6-12 months. Although I believe the U.S. economy will improve, it will be at a slower rate than previously. Ultimately, consumer confidence and strong entrepreneurship will increase the demand for manufactured parts and products. REEK: Absolutely! I would like to comment more on what I see in the U.S. This is the most exciting time for manufacturing. Competitiveness is the name of the game, and there is more advancement available today than ever before for U.S. manufacturers to be competitive in supply for the local markets and export. The U.S. economy is strong, and investment funds are available. THORNE: There is variation by region and industry. The chart in Fig. 1 shows 2017 growth of value-added in the 11 sectors that Cambashi uses for its summary market numbers. GDP in a country is the sum of all value-added in that country, so VA (value-added) and VA growth figures are the first we look at to get an idea of the overall health and of industry sectors. Points we’d pick out from the chart are a. The Process/Pharma industries are growing much faster than the average, mainly boosted by the inclusion of refineries and oil & gas extraction.



Fig.1: Manufacturing Value-Added Growth in 2017 (source: Cambashi, based on data from Oxford Economics)

b. Automotive and manufacture of other transportation equipment (“Transportation” in the chart) grew much less than average. The big automotive countries (U.S., Germany, and Japan) are all expected to have a very tough year.

c. Manufacture of other transportation equipment (“Transportation” in the chart) also grew much less than average. A decline in Korean shipbuilding is expected, bringing the world total down.

HOW HAS THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) IMPACTED THE STATE OF MANUFACTURING? IS THIS A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT?



COX: The growth in connectivity of smart devices can essentially drive the need for more intelligent product development. We do not feel a direct influence on our company, per se, but I am sure there are positives for much of the manufacturing world in enabling this type of networking to exchange and gather valuable data. REEK: The IoT does not seem to have had a great effect yet, however time is still early. Many manufacturers plan for new equipment months and years in advance, and are making plans for utilizing the IoT in new processes and machinery. The IoT is poised to make a huge impact on the efficiency of data, as well as the connectivity of machines and devices. Just think how connectivity has changed our

personal lives through the smart phone; we do more personally now than ever before. There are gaps as the IoT develops, and it will take some time to close those gaps. Some gaps will be related to technology development, and many will be our ability to implement and employ the technology. It is exciting, and the gaps will close in ways that we cannot imagine. THORNE: We’d say positive. One of the early IoT applications that has gotten a lot of attention is predictive maintenance. This ticks both cost saving (reduced downtime) and revenue (also through reduced downtime) boxes on a manufacturer’s business justification. So there are plenty of pilot projects and case studies of successes in this area.



Perhaps the most important aspect is that IoT provides a new focus for ways to find that next few percent of gains in operations—with predictive maintenance, or other examples, such as energy optimization. Also, of course, many manufacturers’ engineering and marketing teams can see potential IoT-based transformations of their businesses, ranging from new product capabilities and competitive advantage, to new business models. The last 50 years make it hard to suggest that digitization is doing anything other than continuing to accelerate, and IoT projects are probably the most direct way for manufacturers to stay part of this trend.

HOW IS THE CURRENT GLOBAL ECONOMY AFFECTING MANUFACTURING IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION?



COX: The current global economy is forcing manufacturers to embrace technological advances to improve their plant productivity. Machines are becoming smarter and easier to use, and robotics are becoming less expensive and more attainable. In order to succeed, manufacturers must be data-driven and have continuously improving minds. REEK: The global economy is pulling manufacturers in so many ways. It could be availability of low-wage workers, availability of skilled workers, or even the availability of any workers at all. Successful manufacturers are operating globally more and more. The effects on technological innovation is the deployment and availability of the innovations in real-time,



no matter where things are being made. If technology is nearly flat, the decision of where to produce will come down to other factors, many of which are positive ones like proximity to the customer. This can bring about many advantages, such as simplified supply chain, flexibility to adapt and change the product, and less environmental impact. THORNE: The biggest factor is uncertainty. Whether it’s economic factors, like exchange rates and growth forecasts, or market factors, like demand, competition, and customer expectation, most top-table manufacturing management teams will say they believe that forecasts are subject to more uncertainty than they remember from the



past. The immediate impact of this is everyone prefers variable costs over fixed costs—so, if the cancellation conditions are OK, businesses will choose the monthly subscription or similar over outright purchases, even if that increases the long-term total cost. At the leading edge, that’s driving new types of contract, closer to pay-per-use or pay-by-results. Now the interesting innovation effect of this is the fact that it shifts some risk related to reliability, also maintenance costs, from the user of equipment back to the provider of the equipment. The innovation impact of this is the new pressure it puts on providers to build machines that never break down—which is good, so long as it’s not too expensive.



COX: There is a shortage of talent for manufacturers, and good help is difficult to find and even harder to keep. Employees are looking for more than a paycheck; they are looking for great culture and a fun, interactive work environment. Training is a critical element, along with providing opportunity for advancement. REEK: We all must look forward and understand that gaps are forming that can rob our competitiveness. Many gaps will be related to technology, and many more will be related to skills and training. Leaders will need to have very clear employee development plans to ensure that our workforce keeps pace with technology. Looking forward will require investment in technology and people. Every day, there are growing estimates of manufacturing jobs unfilled. We have to find ways to get those jobs filled with skilled people. This will be the only way to keep pace with technology and technology adoption. THORNE: Know your customer is still top or near the top of the list. But for some manufacturers, the growth of the value of software, both as an engineering cost and as a source of value in their products, creates quite substantial people and process issues. For these manufacturers, it’s important to find ways to make use of the opportunities that software offers to be flexible and agile, but this needs willingness to rethink planning and decision-making processes, which may have very deep roots in the organization.

ECONOMIC

REPORT

Global Manufacturing Update BY CHAD MOUTRAY, PH.D., CBE, CHIEF ECONOMIST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

June 8, 2017 – According to a new report from the World Bank, the global economy is strengthening, rebounding from recent challenges and assisted by better manufacturing and export data. It sees world GDP growing 2.7% and 2.9% in 2017 and 2018, respectively, up from 2.4% in 2016. In the United States, the World Bank predicts 2.1% and 2.2% growth in 2017 and 2018, respectively, up from 1.6% in 2016. In emerging and developing economies, it predicts growth increasing from 3.5% to 4.1% to 4.5% from 2016 to 2018. As such, the outlook in June changed little from its January release. The underlying message is that the international economy appears to have turned a corner—especially when compared to the headwinds over the past few years—and is headed in the right direction. At the same time, the World Bank notes that political uncertainty, particularly regarding trade, could pose downward risks to these projections. Much of the recent data released in the past few weeks tend to support the notion that the global economy has improved, even as several indicators showed some slippage in sentiment in May. For instance,

the J.P. Morgan Global Manufacturing PMI continued to expand at a decent pace, even as the headline number has pulled back slightly from March’s nearly six-year high. The sector essentially stagnated one year ago, illustrating the progress since then. In May, all but two of the top15 markets for U.S.-manufactured goods exports experienced growth in their manufacturing sectors. As recently as August, seven of those markets contracted, providing further evidence of current progress. With that said, China returned to contraction territory for the first time in 11 months in May, and South Korea—a country that has grappled with major political challenges of late—also saw its manufacturing sector decline once more. Meanwhile, even before the results of the United Kingdom election are known, Europe has continued to dominate the list of the top export markets with strong manufacturing growth, including Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Indeed, the IHS Markit Eurozone Manufacturing PMI rose to its best reading since April 2011 with stronger growth across the board. Real GDP in the Eurozone accelerated to 0.6%

year-over-year. For its part, retail sales rose for the fourth consecutive month, edging up 0.1% in April. Over the past 12 months, spending has risen 2.5%, continuing an accelerating trend. Those positive economic signs could help explain how the unemployment rate in April fell to 9.3%, its lowest level since March 2009. Similar to what we see in Europe, Canada—our largest trading partner—has also seen notable improvements in its economy. The IHS Markit Canada Manufacturing PMI remained strong in May despite pulling back from a six-year high in April. Real GDP grew 0.9% in the first quarter, picking up from the 0.7% gain in the fourth quarter. That translated into 3.7% growth at an annual rate in the first quarter, with consumer spending, as well as business spending, boosting the Canadian economy. In addition, manufacturing sales in Canada increased 1.0% in March, rebounding from the decline of 0.6% in February. Most impressively, sales in the sector have jumped 8.2% year-over-year. Similarly, retail spending also bounced back, improving from a decrease of 0.4% in February to an increase of 0.7% in march, with year-over-year growth of 6.9%. With the global economy trending in the right direction, U.S.-manufactured goods exports have improved so far in 2017—a welcome development after weaker data in each of the past two years. Using non-seasonally adjusted data, U.S.-manufactured goods exports totaled $353.09 billion year to date in April, up 3.44% from $341.33 billion one year ago. Yet, even with encouraging news, there continue to be lingering headwinds. The U.S. trade deficit rose to a three-month high, and the dollar remains strong, up 21.4% since June 2014 against major currencies. (To be fair, the U.S. dollar has depreciated 4.0% year to date.) This makes it more difficult for manufacturers in the U.S. to increase international demand. In addition, as noted above, there are also ongoing uncertainties in the political environment. Along those lines, the administration formally notifies Congress of intention to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which could start as early as August 16. Manufacturers travel to Cube to review opportunities and challenges. The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is readying its report on a new Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB), while Congress considers new sanctions legislation. The administration issued results from its 100-day plan with Congress, and the new NAM-led coalition on global institutions expands and issues letters and a new poll on the importance of U.S. leadership.

ISO STANDARDS AWARENESS FOR FLUID POWER PROFESSIONALS

HISTORY OF THE

ISO 3601 SERIES OF STANDARDS FOR O-RINGS

n 1939, Niels A. Christensen was granted a U.S. Patent for “new and useful improvements in packings and the like for power cylinders,” which were improved packing rings made of “solid rubber or rubber composition very dense and yet possessive of great liveliness and compressibility” suitable for use as packings for fluid medium pistons (liquid or air). The improved packing ring is the modern O-ring. The principle behind the successful sealing of fluid with an O-ring is that it deforms when compressed in its groove and “it has slight freedom of movement to be worked or kneaded during the piston reciprocation in order to maintain the rubber in a live state” and acts as a barrier, resisting leakage. Christensen did not provide equations to determine the size needed for the circular cross section or the ID of the “improved packing” or for the groove. He found that the compression should not be too high as to prohibit the packing from moving, that it needed to have “slight freedom of movement to be worked to satisfy the needs of their national industries. In the 1970s, or kneaded during the piston reciprocation in order to maintain FIG.1 as companies became more international, it became obvious the rubber in a live state and to prolong its serviceable life” but that an international O-ring standard was required. not so little compression or too wide of a groove that would In 1978, ISO 3601-1 was first released. This original release allow it too much freedom of movement and “permit complete Typical O-ring of ISO 3601-1 included sizes of O-rings for General Purpose turning of the ring out upon its axis as would be caused by a configuration. applications. It was essentially DIN 3771 converted to an ISO wider groove permitting the ring to twist through 360 degrees.” Standard. This did give sizes for O-rings, but no hardware In his patent application, Christensen mentions finding dimensions to use with these seal sizes. Also by this time, that a cross section diameter of 3/16 inches worked well when AS568 O-ring sizes were being used all over the world. Of all compressed about 1/16 inch when installed in a “groove the O-ring size specifications, AS568 was (and is) the most having a flat bottom portion spaced from the cylinder wall a widely used one internationally—not DIN 3771. distance less than the normal radial dimension of the ring.” Ten years later, in 1988, the first revision of ISO 3601-1 was Proper compression (squeeze) was key in the O-ring's released. This included some new sizes for aerospace metric performance and life per Christensen; however, with no O-rings. This was followed by another revision in 2002 with clear or exact guidelines on seal fit given by Christensen, only a few changes, most of which were corrections on sizes. different philosophies of seal fit and hence O-ring and gland The major issue with these standards was that they still did not design emerged. This created the problem that there were no address those sizes listed in AS568 that were internationally used. universal standards for O-ring sizes or housings (glands). If It was not until the revision released in 2008 that the AS568 sizes, one purchased an O-ring from Sweden, it might not work in converted to metric, finally made it into this specification, replacing the equipment designed in France or even in similar equipment designed former, general-purpose-use, metric sizes from the old DIN standard. in Sweden. Because of this, it became obvious that O-ring and hardware ISO 3601-1 currently has two classes of O-rings: Class A and Class B. size standards were needed. This need was satisfied nationally by creating Class A O-rings have the same tolerances as those used in AS568, which standards for O-rings used in equipment manufactured in that specific are tighter than the tolerances for Class B O-rings, and are suitable for country. Standards such as AS568, BS 1806, DIN 3771, JIS B2401, NF T47industrial or aerospace applications when the application or the housing 501, and SMS 1586 were developed by national standards organizations 58

require tighter tolerances. Class B O-rings have slightly wider tolerances and are suitable for general-purpose applications. Finally, greater than 90% of the O-ring sizes used in the world are now specified in one standard. 2008 was a significant year for the ISO 3601 series. This was not only the year that the most internationally used O-ring sizes made it in to Part 1 (ISO 3601-1), but it also was the first time hardware dimensions and O-ring fit guidelines for general purpose fluid power applications were standardized and published in an international specification: ISO 3601-2. ISO 3601-2 specifies the hardware dimensions for the O-rings identified in ISO 3601-1, with the exception of the special sizes used only in aerospace. It also includes O-ring fit guidelines for squeeze (compression) and stretch, along with equations to determine O-ring fit and help with determining the best size O-ring—even a custom size—for a given application and/

or set of hardware. The hardware and gland dimensions are based upon requirements that are universally accepted for optimum sealing conditions. These requirements differ for piston and rod applications, as well as for face seal applications. The differences have to do with seal squeeze, seal stretch, and occupancy of the gland. There are charts included in the document that provide the acceptable squeeze range for different cross-section O-rings in different applications. Seal stretch was overlooked by Christensen and earlier users of O-rings, but has been found to be a significant factor in seal life and performance for dynamic applications. Hardware dimensions in ISO 3601-2 were developed in consideration of optimal stretch, squeeze, and gland occupancy to provide good seal performance and longevity. In 1987, ISO 3601-3, the specification covering quality requirements (surface defects) of O-rings, was first released. This has been revised several

Car Tires

How many car tires of the following approximate size can be filled with one tank of nitrogen with the following given specs? • Tire Pressure: 35 psi • Tank Size: 200 scf (Standard Cubic Feet) • Rim Diameter: 18" • Starting Pressure: 2000 psi • Tire Diameter: 30 (Assume the inside of the tire is round like an O-ring.)

Manufactured To Your Specific Requirements

EXAMPLE

WHEN TRYING TO FIND AN AVERAGE DIAMETER OF A ROLL OF PAPER, METAL, OR O-RING, ETC., TAKE THE OD – ID AND MULTIPLY THAT ANSWER BY 0.70711 (SIN OF 45°) AND ADD THE ID.

a roll of paper has a 6" OD and 1.5"ID. 6 – 1.5 = 4.5 4.5 x 0.70711 = 3.18" 3.18 + 1.5 = 4.68" average diameter Multiply this x Pi, and you will have the average circumference of 14.7". If you knew the thickness or number of raps, you could figure out the total length of that roll.

SOLUTION TO PREVIOUS PROBLEM: HOW MANY SCFM?

First, let us calculate the compression ratio at 100 psi and 20 psi. We will need this information later. 100/14.7 + 1 = 7.8 : 1 (C. R.) at 100 psi 20/14.7 + 1 = 2.36 : 1 ( C.R.) at 20 psi Next, calculate the effective rod in area: cap end area – rod area = 3.14 - 0.7854 = 2.356 in² (EREA) Now the rod end volume: 2.356 in² x 10 in = 23.56 in³ / cycle Find CIM: 23.56 in³ x 15 cycle / minute = 353.4 CIM Find CFM: 353.4 / 1728 (cu. in. per cu. ft.) = .20 CFM To convert CFM to SCFM, we must multiply CFM x C.R.: 0.20 x 7.8 = 1.56 scfm @ 100 psi 0.20 x 2.36 = .47 scfm @ 20 psi Subtract the difference to see the savings in air consumption: 1.56 - 0.47 = 1.09 scfm saved Find saving per year: 1.09 x 60 minute = 65.4 SCF per hour x 24 = 1569.9 SCF per day x 365 per year = 572,904 SCF / year Given: $0.40 / 1000 SCF: 572,904 / 1000 x 0.40 = $229.16 savings per year

VACUUM

PICK-UP CYLINDERS

BY DANIEL PASCOE, DAVASOL, INC.

n a vacuum pick-and-place application, the most familiar method of moving products from point A to point B in today’s world is via a multi-axis robot, such as the one shown in Fig. 1. This enables the system builder to manipulate the motion path of the pickand-place cycle with virtually infinite adjustment. This method of automated motion is commonplace and, in fact, is the only option when the pick-and-place operation has many variables as to the pick-up point and the placement of the product being handled. Palletizing boxes on an “end-of-line” production area would be an obvious application for this robotic technology, where boxes might well be picked from the same place each time but their placement in a pallet-build operation could vary considerably. However, many applications for vacuum pick-and-place do not warrant, or justify, the cost of such advanced technology. The 3-axis apparatus shown in Fig. 2 offers a simple, yet effective 3-way motion for positioning over a product in XY and then “reaching” down with a suction cup with axis Z—less costly and potentially more compact than the aforementioned alternative and also fitting within the machine working area footprint. This is a very popular method of vacuum pick-and-place. The potentially difficult part is knowing where the product is in the Z axis. If the product is always the same and therefore always in the same vertical position, then using a simple bellows suction cup will offer some Z-axis compliance or tolerance. But you still activate the Z axis to move “down” and then retract back “up” with the product. An alternative to this would be to use a 2-axis robotic solution to position accurately in the X and Y axis but to also utilize a vacuum cylinder, such as the one shown in Fig. 3. By using a vacuum cylinder, you can eliminate the Z-axis actuator altogether. This saves a lot of money in the automation equipment. The vacuum cylinder utilizes a vacuum force from a vacuum pump or vacuum venturi (compressed air-powered vacuum “pump”). The cylinder’s rest position is shown in position (1) of Fig. 4. When vacuum is applied, the cylinder rod extends (2) until the vacuum cup seals on the load to be lifted. As soon as a vacuum seal is made, the cylinder automatically retracts and holds the product (3). When the vacuum is turned off, by means of a vacuum control valve for example, the product is released. The cycle is now complete. The single biggest advantage of the vacuum cylinder is that it doesn’t need any other motive power, such as a pneumatic, electric, or mechanical actuator, to extend and retract. It’s completely autonomous from the XY axis operators. A secondary advantage of the vacuum cylinder is that it incorporates automatic Z height adjustment. Wherever the product is positioned within the cylinder stroke is where the cylinder will stop and immediately retract. These cylinders are also available with a sensor (as shown in Fig. 5) to determine the internal piston position. This allows the machine controller to confirm where the cylinder is at any given point, which is important in automation equipment. Three schematics are shown in Fig. 6: one using a vacuum pump, and the others both using a venturi–one with a vacuum control valve and the other with a close-coupled vacuum venturi utilizing a pneumatic control valve to turn vacuum on and off to the venturi.

The choice of an electrical pump or air-powered venturi does not offer any advantages in respect to the cylinder operation, but having a vacuum control valve as close to the cylinder as possible allows a vacuum reserve between the pump/venturi and valve to accumulate between cycles, which offers instant vacuum force to the cylinder when the valve is actuated, which will result in a faster cylinder extend rate. The vacuum cylinder offers the machine builder an effective, fast, and simple solution for Z-axis automation in vacuum pick-and-place. The advantage of simple control, automatic height compensation, and fewer working components make this Z-axis solution an option for all machine builders in the automation industry. Demonstration and test videos can be found at the Vacuforce website: http://www.vacuforce.com/cylinders.

This article is intended as a general guide and as with any industrial application involving machinery choice, independent professional advice should be sought to ensure correct selection and installation.

HYDRAULIC BASICS:

Recognizing Hydraulic Symbols This new series of articles, compiled by Fluid Power Journal Technical Editor Dan Helgerson, CFPAI/AJPP, CFPS, CFPECS, CFPSD, CFPMT, CFPCC, will include selected excerpts from the IFPS Study Manuals. Study Manuals may be downloaded by visiting www.ifps.org. (IFPS members may download for free; nonmembers may purchase.)

The easiest method to learn hydraulic symbols is to keep a reference handy and refer to it from time to time. The only globally accepted reference to hydraulic symbols is ISO 1219-1, but companies worldwide use a number of other standards, though they share fundamental similarities.

Editor's Note

Learning to recognize and interpret fluid power symbols is much like learning a new language. Every written language has a finite number of letters that are used. These letters make up words; the words make up sentences; the sentences make paragraphs; the paragraphs tell a story. Fluid power symbols can be thought of as the letters in the language of fluid power. As such, they are universal; they are not dependent on a knowledge of the designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spoken language, but are understood by anyone familiar with the symbols. The chart below shows many of the symbols (letters) in the language of fluid power. By learning these symbols, it will be possible to construct or identify most fluid power components.

THE 2017 FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP BRINGS DOUBLE THE FUN

MANUFACTURERS DIRECTORY 2017

More than 60,000 people attended the 2017 FIRST Championship presented by Qualcomm Inc., held for the first time across two cities. Combined, FIRST Championship Houston (April 19-22) and FIRST Championship St. Louis (April 26-29) brought together 30,000 students on 1,400 teams from 62 countries, plus 6,000 mentors/coaches/adult supporters and 2,400 volunteers, among other special guests—and not to mention more than 1,300 robots. FIRST teams in competition participated in heart-pounding robotics matches and intense judging sessions. In both cities, the championship events featured action-packed closing ceremonies that included final robotics matches, live entertainment, inspiring speeches, and special awards. In between matches, speakers such as global music artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist will.i.am and Major General Garrett Harencak of the United States Air Force addressed crowds of tens of thousands of young innovators and their supporters at Minute Maid Park in Houston and The Dome at the America’s Center in St. Louis. The game action was covered live on the #FIRSTChampLIVE streaming show hosted by RoboSports Network, with previews, post-match analysis, and interviews. News media were onsite to spotlight the world’s largest celebration of STEM for students. The thunderous atmosphere in venues where major sporting events occur helped realize FIRST Founder Dean Kamen’s vision: “Athletes don’t get quizzes and tests on the field. They get letters and trophies and recognition,” Kamen said. “If that can inspire kids to work extra hard, why can’t we create an atmosphere where FIRST teams get recognition in a competitive elimination tournament that is in every way as exciting as any other sport, but the skillsets they learn here are so important to their future. Every kid on every team here can turn pro.”

MORE THAN ROBOTS In addition to attending matches, innovators of all ages could engage in several special events focused on STEM and career building. New to the 2017 FIRST Championship was the alumni mixer. Held at both events, the mixer brought together approximately 500 FIRST alumni to meet, network, and hear from speakers from presenting sponsors BAE Systems, Boeing, and NVIDIA. “I really enjoyed the alumni mixer,” said one alum. “It was awesome to get to meet other FIRST alumni and hear about how FIRST affected their lives just as it affected mine.” Returning to the 2017 FIRST Championship was the Maker Faire-inspired FIRST Innovation Faire, which featured a combined 48 exhibitors. Attendees lined up for hands-on demonstrations, including a chance to try the Power Rangers VR demo from presenting sponsor Qualcomm. In addition, 50 exhibitors were on-hand at Scholarship Row to talk to FIRST students about college and scholarship opportunities. FIRST teams, mentors, sponsors, alliances, and others gave a total of 102 conference sessions at the 2017 FIRST Championship Conferences presented by Southwest, ViaSat, and Walt Disney Imagineering. Topics included career advice sessions on “Putting FIRST to Work” and the annual “Women in STEM” panel. (Videos of these sessions will be available on the FIRST website.)

FIRST Student Innovator Presents TED Talk on Success and Failure When Ashton Cofer, 14, stood on the TED stage at TED-Ed Weekend in December 2016 and delivered a TED Talk to a live audience, with cameras rolling, the accomplished innovator shared a lesson he learned from nearly a decade of watching and performing in FIRST LEGO League: “You can’t have success without failure.” Ashton’s inspiring TED video was released in late March and featured on the TED.com homepage. It has received more than 700,000 views. Ashton began following FIRST LEGO League at age 5, when his older sister joined a team. He saw how much fun she was having and couldn’t wait until he was old enough to join. Four years later, Ashton joined FIRST LEGO League Team 23—“The Incredibots”—a neighborhood-based team in Gahanna, Ohio. Ashton and his team went on to develop a string of innovative solutions, including the patent-pending Styro-Filter, which converts Styrofoam waste in activated carbon that can be used to purify water. When Ashton was nominated to give a TED Talk about the inventing the Styro-Filter, his time in FIRST had prepared him. “In FIRST LEGO

League, you do a lot of public speaking – speaking to judges, memorizing presentations,” Ashton said. “I’ve had a lot of preparation over the years, which helped me present my TED Talk.” Ashton completed TED-Ed’s presentation literacy program and practiced over video calls with a TED coach. In December, Ashton gave his speech at TED Headquarters in New York City. “I talked about overcoming failure. I was really happy to be able to share my story,” he said.
