Indian Hue @ EMO

t almost seems like the echo of the MMT cover shout this month has resounded the need for Europe to look at the Indian opportunity with a keener focus for the sheer scope that this market presents … the tricolour is taking a stronger hue at EMO 2013!

Having an insightful conversation with an EMO official recently reconfirmed the Indian impact at EMO—with efficiency, quality, flexibility and availability being the foundations of success for machine tool users, irrespective of where their production operations are located. Tiny cost advantages are often crucial in determining whether an order will be placed. And the India stance has a lot of stats for the unconvincing minds … like, it is a fact that India needs machine tools worth more than €2 billion a year and imports most of them. In the last five years alone, the machine tool consumption has risen by almost 25%; the potential for further growth remains high in the medium term. Staying with the potential, the major users of machine tools in India will be increasing their capital expenditure on machinery in 2013 and 2014 by an average of more than 16% and 19%, respectively. This means a rise of 4% and 10%, respectively, in machine tool consumption during the same period. And as one industry expert confides, “International machine tool manufacturers will be well advised not to neglect India. If the China boom runs out of steam one day, India may become much more important. And then, it will be payoff time for those who have been consistently showing the flag.” With all this and more, a seminar titled ‘EMO Focus on India’ will entail the strategic involvement of numerous major users and exploitation of potential still restricted by structural deficits. The empirically based seminar is designed to inform international visitors at EMO from the machinery and plant engineering sector, plus exhibitors who want to expand their operations in India, about the idiosyncrasies of this market. While all looks rosy, the reality still bites!! It is critical that the Indian Government modernises its energy-generating plants and ensures massive expansion of the road and railway networks, if it wants to achieve its ambitious growth targets of 5% and more in the years ahead. Against this background, prominent international machine tool users have been investing in the subcontinent owing to appropriate strategic positioning. For example, the giant automaker, Daimler, is massively upsizing its production facility in Chennai in order to manufacture sturdy and affordable models for the Indian market. In the aircraft component supplier industry, India itself possesses some highly competent vendors like Tata, Hinduja and HAL, who manufacture components for the aircraft’s interior and operate in what is called the ‘Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO)’ category, and are entrusted with non-strategic development projects. By 2028, the market volume for the MRO category alone in Asia Pacific, China and India is predicted to exceed the figure for North America. With all this and more, we, at MMT, wish all the Indian exhibitors and visitors fruitful EMO days! Make your county proud!

EMO: The Stage is Set!

MO comes at a time when the global economic scenario is at its most uncertain juncture. The European Union (EU) is facing severe economic strain for the first time since its formation. Large EU economies such as Italy and France are stagnating and economies such as Greece, Spain, Ireland and Portugal are all in the bailout mode. Government expenditures are more than its revenues across the board. In Asia, while China’s golden period of GDP growth may be over, Japan’s economy too is in shambles. The US, although appearing to recover, is too slack to make any global impact. Every day, news brings out some previously unheard problems, which forces people to skip Page 1 of many publications. It is in this uncertain global situation that EMO will be held in September 2013. The Asian machine tool industry benefited to some extent because of the vast manufacturing shift from the West to the East. Most of this momentum may be ageing now; however, in the US, there are positive signs of manufacturing bouncing back. The heavily export-dependent machine tool industry first suffered a major blow owing to the collapse of uncertain economies; luckily, this blow was taken over mostly by a galloping China. Currently, China no longer appears to be the hub of the manufacturing industry; the attention may just be shifting to India. Since its inception, the Indian machine tool industry has been living in a cocoon of its own and has been dependent on its domestic market. This was fine so far, but with increasing global competition within India, there is no option for Indian machine tool makers but to go global. In this quest for survival and growth, EMO will be the fulcrum of the strategic direction of any Indian machine tool enterprise. EMO is typified as the Mecca of machine tools. It is not a buying and selling mela; it is a ‘technology demonstrator’. It is a one-stop shop wherein industry players launch their

new products in the presence of the entire ecosystem within and around the machine tool business. The combination of the aggressiveness of a B2C show and the collaborative effort of a B2B show makes EMO a unique strategic and marketing tool for any person associated with this industry. The key to participation in EMO would certainly be to build your corporate brand, enhance visibility and create the infrastructure necessary for both export and forging global alliances. As debated as it may be, technology is no longer available on the shelf; there are technology denial regimes for high-end, dual use and 5-axis technologies. On the other hand, foreign players are free to enter India and do not need an entry vehicle. This means that Indian machine tool manufacturers must fight their own battles. The technology development therefore must now be the result of our own in-house R&D effort. Disillusionment with China is now making world manufacturing discover new shores in its search for Low Cost Countries (LCCs). There are several options such as Thailand with its industrial set-up by the Japanese; Indonesia with its cheap labour & strong automotive industry; South Africa and several other countries. In India’s case, the primary issue is the size of its domestic market. The Indian manufacturing sector has to determine its role in this game of migration. It will, of course, hold a significant position, as many foreign companies will make a beeline for India. Are we ready for it? Is there an opportunity in this scenario? Can the Indian machine tool industry play a role in felicitating this migration? (acting in its own interest to become a global manufacturing hub). We will be excitedly watching the scenario unfold over the next 2–3 years. What it will be is anybody’s guess, but one thing that I am clear about is the Indian machine tool industry’s face will then be substantially different from what it is today.

UNIDO to take ‘Technology Delegation’ to EMO

he UNIDO ICAMT project for ‘Technology Upgrading and Productivity Enhancement of the Machine Tool Industry’ is essentially aimed at enabling machine tool companies, especially in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), to be technologically competitive. The programme is helping machine tool SMEs to address problems related to lowvolume operations, R&D, quality, reliability, process capability and cost-efficiencies, through a wide array of interventions and initiatives. One of the components of the project involves organising Technology Delegations to key machine tool manufacturing countries along with a visit to a major overseas international machine tool exhibition. In order to provide adequate technology exposure to latest technologies and machines/techniques, UNIDO ICAMT is proposing to organise

a technology delegation of machine tool enterprises to Spain and Germany coinciding with EMO during September 18th to 25th, 2013. During the 8-day tour, the delegation will visit EMO, after which it will proceed to visit the machine tool hub Bilbao in Spain. The key objectives of the ‘Technology Delegation’ are to: n Witness the latest technology advances in machine tools and manufacturing solutions at EMO 2011 n Learn the best practices by visiting machine tool manufacturers in San Sebastian n Expose delegation members to the latest technology and product developments on display at the exhibition n Identify the latest technology and productivity innovations in manufacturing at the exhibition n Facilitate meetings/interaction with counterparts in Germany/ Spain for forging business/ technology alliances.

in conversation with Hans Kurt Lubberstedt Q The global market is

undertaking rigorous automation to make manufacturing processes easier and quicker. What is the scope of automation technology today?

Nowadays, products have a high level of perfection and are much more complex. They have multiple functions with which they can adapt to various conditions. High-level sensors, electronics and automation support users in a more complete manner than they used to do in the past. This calls for simulation to become much more complex so that we can simulate a product in its entirety even before we manufacture. The complexity of products makes simulation important because the interaction of various functions inside the product can cause undefined situations and unforeseen effects. We have seen this lately in the automotive industry where cars had to be recalled because malfunctions could not be predicted in the designing phase. This happens because one part of a car can influence the other. Such instances can be avoided through simulation. This is why we have a strong growing market where companies are now demanding this technology to stay competitive and manufacture faster without error.

Innovation activity in

India promises swift growth…

...opines Hans Kurt Lubberstedt, VP, Asia Ops, ANSYS, Inc. During his tête-à-tête with Debarati Basu Das, he discusses the changing phases of simulation, India’s open armed acceptance of automation tools, how Tata Nano is just the tip of India’s innovative iceberg and how in future we will see an aircraft simulating itself in air. Excerpts… 30

MMT - August 2013

Q How do you see the Indian

market’s journey towards adopting simulation?

Apart from providing engineering service (which is India’s specialty), the country is more into product production. However, it was not much into innovating or developing new products. This scenario has changed in the last few years and India has become rather innovative in engineering with several interesting innovations coming from India. Tata Nano is one such example of an indigenous invention—a lowcost car that no one else in the world had ever attempted. This only shows that the level of innovation in India is rising. Also, the simulation market in India is growing owing to factors

Hans Kurt Lubberstedt such as the growth of companies in the manufacturing/industrial sector and the growth of innovation levels within these sectors.

Q How would you rate India’s

growth among other BRIC nations? How should a competitive edge be brought in?

India has been adopting new technologies—a trend that is likely to grow stronger. The country has a highly efficient and well-educated workforce, which is better than many other countries. However, while the ingenuity in India is strong, the level of process maturity of other matured countries like Japan and Europe is still lacking. India needs to be more mature and reliable in its processes. The country still has an element of pragmatic approach and is not systematic.

Q Do you feel that the level of

automation in shop floors of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) has risen to match manufacturing needs?

Depending on the sectors, about 20–25% of SMEs are visionaries and are investing in simulation technology. But proportionally speaking, we have a large chunk that is still not in that league. Reasons: SMEs are not cost-sensitive and are immediately affected by the economic climate. But SMEs are cautiously considering simulation technology. We do understand that SMEs have the same kind of requirements for simulation technology like any other MNC. We should open a path for them to at least start using the technology. Ansys has solutions that make it easier for SMEs to adapt to this technology.

Q What are some of the trends

that you foresee in simulation technology?

The need for simulation in a single product is going up. Customers need

Do not do it with half-hearted efforts. It is a waste of time for everyone. First, look at things; make sure that you are completely convinced and then fully immerse and engage yourself to get the best output. Qualities you look for in people when you recruit… The candidates who come to me are already screened for technical abilities. So, I ask the candidates a lot of questions, but do not listen to the answers. I am not interested in what they answer but how they answer. I observe their behaviour, things that make them tensed or relaxed, their gestures and expressions, etc. This tells a lot about how the person might be at work. technologies that will undertake complete product simulation. Hence, we need to build a technology with a combination of various types of simulations in one tool itself. Our vision is to help customers to simulate while designing so that simulation supports design. In this manner, you know what you are doing as you are doing it. A change in one part will tell you the various kinds of effects that it can have on the other parts of the product. In the next five years, we will be able to completely simulate a product before we build it. Another trend that I foresee is the use of simulation when using the product and customising it as per the changing conditions. We have already witnessed this in the very basic phase in Formula 1 cars. They do not just use our simulation technology to design a car. While the race is on, this technology is used to simulate the conditions in cars to optimise various functions.

In future, the use of such technology will help aircraft adjust to the various environmental conditions that it encounters while flying and adapt itself accordingly.

Q How do you see Ansys’

growth in India in the next five years?

On the global scale, India generates about 4% of the overall revenue. But as India is a growing market where we have grown faster, this percentage will increase significantly. The innovation activity in India has just begun; it will grow in future. We are well-positioned here and definitely foresee having a strong market position in the times ahead. Also, the education system here is very strong. Hence, we are collaborating with the Indian educational system in order to be closer to its academic environment. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

EMO: A Turning Point

At a time when uncertainty still looms over the fate of the global economy, manufacturers from across the world are eyeing EMO Hannover as the threshold of a new beginning. The Eurozone is yet to stabilise, the global economy too is in bad shape. Manufacturing has come to a standstill and manufacturers from across the globe have donned a cautious approach towards further investments.

EMO Hannover 2013 these industries will be investing over 6% more in the current year and double the figure in 2014. EMO Hannover plays a significant role in the globalised nature of the machine tool business. More than half of the global machine tool production output is traded internationally. This volume has risen by 80% since the turn of the millennium. The European machine tool industry alone exports almost 85% of its production output, the US exports 61% and China exports 44%. This shows the impact of events such as EMO on international trading. Rajesh Nath, MD, German Engineering Federation (VDMA), avers, “The international automotive industry looks positive, as it is deploying strategic investments in the battle for market shares, and so do the aircraft industry and the mechanical engineering sector. All of them intend to make above-average capital investments in 2013. EMO Hannover 2013 will provide a good opportunity for the same, as here is where the world of metalworking will be meeting up to showcase the latest innovations in the field of production technology and to provide the best possible basis for ongoing investment decisions to users of machine tools.”

Financial gurus have pinned their hopes on the last quarter of 2013 when they expect the situation to change. Amidst all this, EMO Hannover comes as a ray of hope to many. This mega event is the perfect platform to connect with the world and gear up before the market opens up again. Economic pundits are predicting a rise of 2%—a record volume of around €68 billion—in the machine tool consumption this year. They anticipate that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and industrial production output will gain considerable momentum during the second half of 2013. The machine tool consumption is accordingly set to grow by one-tenth in 2014. This will not just mark an end to the persistent slowdown but will also be the beginning of strong collaborations and profitable partnerships of manufacturers across the world. Once the market opens up, machine tool manufacturers will have an array of industries to serve, including the automotive industry, component suppliers, machinery manufacturers, metalworking companies, electrical engineering industry, precision engineering & optics, medical technology, aviation industry, railways and shipbuilding. According to reports,

tool industry and EMO as an apt platform

Europe is a heavyweight player in the international machine tool industry. With a share of almost 35% of the total production output, 50% of the

Organiser’s Views exports, 32% of the imports and 23% of the market, European manufacturers hold a decisive position. However, the European sovereign debt crisis continues to pose a risk to future development and is exerting tremendous pressure on domestic demand. Thus, it is all the more important to introduce new and persuasive technologies on the international stage. Europeans lead the way when it comes to sustainability in production—an aspect that will be showcased at EMO Hannover.

Q The theme: ‘Intelligence in

Production’

‘Intelligence in Production’ implies offering machine tool users all over the world with the right solutions for their individual production jobs while being their valuable partner. This includes not only providing the right machines, technologies and processes but also consultancy, global presence, responsiveness, dependable service support and a comprehensive range of corporate capabilities. For example, machine operators all over the world, with their different preconditions and job remits, need to be supported to the maximum by intelligent technology.

Q Expectations from the event

EMO Hannover is growing. In terms of registration figures and the space occupied, we have already exceeded the levels achieved in 2011. We have been receiving new registrations everyday. The last event attracted approximately 140,000 trade visitors; this will be the yardstick for this year’s result.

Q The aspects of business to be

emphasised upon

As organisers of the largest trade fair for the metalworking industry, we first want to be good hosts to the thousands of international visitors and exhibitors at EMO. We want each one of them to revisit us. In addition,

Leveraging EMO to enhance business and knowledge base For manufacturers of production technology, EMO Hannover is the best platform to boost their international business as they will interact with machine tool users from over 100 countries. Many of these will be prospective new customers for the exhibitors concerned. Moreover, three-fourth of the visitors to EMO are decisionmakers looking for the required support and information. In the 2011 edition, orders worth more than US$6.3 billion were signed during the trade fair itself, with the posttrade fair business also doing well. The impact of the exhibitors in EMO Hannover on the who’s who of international production technology cannot be underestimated as valuable contacts materialise here with regard to future cooperation. we are intensively working together with our global partners towards widely communicating the advantages of EMO Hannover to visitors and exhibitors as well as upgrading the event’s international character. For this purpose, manufacturers and users of production technology have to be convinced that EMO Hannover is the right platform to expand their business internationally.

Q Challenges ahead for the

Q Current trends and demands

in the machine tool industry

The major issues for production operations include resource economy and energy efficiency. Another emerging trend is the networking of production operations with other parts of the company. The capabilities of intelligent machine technology in communicating with instrumentation and control systems are still rudimentary. It remains to be seen how the level of efficiency can be increased.

Q EMO helping European firms

overcome the slowdown

For the European machine tool industry, a stable level of production output has been predicted for the ongoing year. The European sector exports almost 85% of its production output. It is also a high-tech breeding ground for industrial production worldwide. EMO Hannover is the best forum to showcase these advantages to the international companies and thus, distinguish yourself from your competitors.

manufacturing sector

Industries all over the world are not only facing enormous cost pressures but also have to meet stringent requirements to ensure maximised efficiency. At the same time, the supply of natural resources is dwindling and their prices are steadily rising. Consumers have become more eco-aware and progressive in acquiring distinctive possessions in the form of individualised products at affordable prices. The industry has to work towards satisfying such requirements and machine tools is one of the keys to achieve the same.

Q Indo-German trade relations

India is an attractive market for the machine tool industry, with vigorous growth and sizeable imports of innovative production technology. Germans are the right partners when it comes to building a modernday industrial sector, regardless of whether it involves automotive component suppliers, aircraft manufacturing or mechanical engineering. However, India is not an easy market for us, as our market share still has room for improvement compared to that of our competitors. We have focused on India in EMO Hannover to motivate European vendors, in particular, to seize the various lucrative business opportunities in the subcontinent. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

India @ EMO Mohini Kelkar, MD, Grind Master Machines Pvt Ltd Due to global recession, people have started looking towards the Indian machine tool industry because India provides low-cost solutions. As part of global outsourcing, Europe has been setting up manufacturing plants in South East Asian countries. These European companies will be there at EMO to find out how they can benefit from South East Asian countries. We need to grab this opportunity and show them our capabilities. The greatest advantage of the Indian industry is that it is highly flexible and can easily tailor-make products much better than its Asian counterparts. Today, things revolve around cost and at EMO, we need to showcase how innovation will foster cost reduction. At Grind Master, we aim to optimise this event by forging global partnerships with companies where our solutions can be used.

as a participant. In 2011, there were around 5,100 visitors from India at this event, while the edition before this witnessed around 3,700 visitors from the country (it was also the biggest delegation from outside Europe). This year too, the event is expected to generate the same level of enthusiasm.

EMO 2013: Can India Reap the Benefits?

The global economy is going through a difficult phase in all quarters and Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation is no different. The automotive industry has hit an all-time low with the demand yet to pick up in a big way. Inventories are overflowing, forcing manufacturing to come to a standstill. With no clear indication of how and when the industry will pick up, Indian machine tool manufacturers are keeping their stakes low by becoming overtly cautious about any further investment. In such a scenario, the big question that looms is irrespective of the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stature,

how well will a marketing strategy work in an industry that is avoiding investments? However, if an economic crisis curbs your potential to make a major investment, it can also be the best time to invest in strengthening your corporate image in the industry by using intelligent marketing strategies. Events and trade fairs like EMO are the best destinations to achieve multiple goals under one roof. This year, over 140,000 business visitors are expected at the show, including highly qualified professionals from all areas of manufacturing such as vehicle construction, aerospace, machinery & plant construction, electronics & electrical engineering, precision machinery/optics and the metal processing industry. In addition, decision-making visitors from all industrialised countries of the world will be present at EMO.

India @ EMO a platform to learn, understand and implement cutting-edge technologies on your shop floor. Even though one may not have sold any products during the event, the real advantage of participating in it lies in building business contacts with the best in the global manufacturing, which, in turn, can materialise into technical collaborations and joint ventures once the economy and investments open up. “Though the Indian industry has also been witnessing a slowdown, it is still growing. With the depreciating

rupee, exports will become lucrative for Indian manufacturing companies and Indian exhibitors & visitors are looking forward to tap the opportunities at the show. A well-marketed presence of India at the show will surely generate great opportunities for the Indian machine tool industry to establish excellent business contacts, experience technological breakthroughs, pave the way for cooperation agreements and tap the growing business potential,” said Rajesh Nath, MD, German Engineering Federation (VDMA).

Rupesh Mehta, MD, Macpower CNC Machines Pvt Ltd EMO is a prominent exhibition to showcase any company’s technological strength from across the world. Naturally, as it is the biggest machine tool trade show worldwide, it offers the industry a wide range of opportunities to craft new avenues for future growth and development. This platform can be used for collaborative measures in terms of technology transfer along with upgradation of manpower skills through documented contracts. We hope that this edition is the mirror of expectations that any machine tool player has for EMO Hannover 2013.

Sambit Pradhan, Manager - Business Development (Asia Pacific), Geometric Ltd Trade shows like EMO have seen a resurgence in the last few years. They provide an avenue to end users to witness the latest technology that they have at their disposal to establish differentiation in their market segments. Although users could probably access the same information online but that is only available when they seek something in particular. This trade show provides the users with the opportunity to learn in a more defined period and space than earlier. EMO provides a great platform to understand the current and future needs of customers, get the pulse of business in various industries, reconnect with existing customers & partners and understand your competition.

Indradev Babu, MD, UCAM Although the market is not bubbling with business, it is not static either. Indian companies can turn the current situation into an opportunity, provided they do their home work and are willing to go the additional mile to give what the customer needs. UCAM will use EMO as a platform to not only connect with our existing machine tool builders, distributors and end users but also to promote and foster new business relationships globally. Although we are keen to generate business during EMO, we hope to interact effectively with the machining world in order to better understand the future needs within the constantly changing global milieu. UCAM will be present with two independent booths with a new division of UCAM being launched at one of the booths.

Grabbing Opportunities Business relations between Indian and German industrial sectors were forged long back. Germany is the second most important supplier of machine tools to India after Japan. Indian shop floors have always had a fixation for German machines and technologies. At EMO, this fixation for cutting-edge technology will go a notch higher with an explosion of high-end technologies. Resonating with the theme of ‘Intelligence in Production’, 1,500 European companies and many more from 39 countries worldwide will set up a plethora of unending next-generation technologies. The endless number of seminars, technical sessions and live demonstrations will benefit various visitors and exhibitors. “Corresponding to EMO’s motto

of ‘Intelligence in Production’, Verband Deutscher Maschinen und Anlagenbau (VDMA) will be staging its congress in the ‘producing more intelligently’ series on September 16 & 17, 2013. The focus of the event is on the challenges that the future poses for humanity, technology and society. The topics covered will include energy efficiency and sustainability, Industry 4.0 and/or intelligence and communication in production and the limits of precision,” points out Nath. He adds, “With its ‘cooperation exchange mart’, EMO organiser, Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken (VDW), will be working together with Enterprise Europe Network to help exhibitors and visitors establish new business contacts.” debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Eurozone Crisis

Although the global economic condition is going through uncertainty and the

situation in Europe is unstable, the machine tool industry is hoping to get back into action at EMO 2013. Automobile is the biggest consumer of machine tools but is not creating enough demand and thus making the situation tougher. At present, companies have decreased or stopped the production of new machines. Discussing the situation in Europe, Pankaj Gangrade, VP Sales & Marketing, Seco Tools India (P) Ltd, says, “As a company, we have been performing well consistently in the US and Europe. Also, since the two biggest consumers of the cutting tool market—France and Germany—are still doing positively well, I do not feel that

Optimising EMO our company is much affected by the condition in Europe. Interestingly, the US market is creating huge opportunities for tool manufacturers.” In Europe, the machine tool consumption in the domestic market has decreased, but exports have increased owning to the demand created by the US and Asian markets. Even in this situation, some countries are showing positive growth, albeit at a nominal rate, and are optimistic about the days to come. Recently, Christine Lagarde, Chief, International Monetary Fund (IMF), said that she was optimistic about the Eurozone overcoming its debt crisis & recession, and that structural reforms and a planned banking union are the paths to be taken.

Significance of EMO

EMO has come at the right time—a time when every company is looking for new customers & technology and the market is uncertain. This one-of-its-kind event, which was founded in 1975, draws a record number of international visitors and exhibitors.

Event Focus Myth Busters

India: Making way for India, a country that has been bound by the shackles of stereotypical notions, is now treading on a brand new path. Manufacturing is heading east. While European excellence in manufacturing is finding new caverns in Asia, there is more than one reason to believe that India is where European manufacturing will find the right action. Debarati Basu Das breaks some myths and tells you why this is the best time for Europe to be in India.

Indian manufacturers only appreciate low-cost solutions.

Fact: India has always appreciated European manufacturing excellence. Although Indian manufacturers look for cost-sensitive solutions, even today, they vouch for a good European machine in their shop floors. The market that the European machine tool builders will find in India is massive.

The country lacks skilled workforce to handle new-age technology.

Fact: On the contrary, the quality of education imparted at technical institutes has improved. Also, the new league of engineers adheres to the latest technologies in the world market. Additionally, most shop floors today are trying to imbibe the latest technological advancements and are proficient in handing them as well.

India still lags behind in research and innovation.

Fact: Until a few years back, it was an acceptable fact that India lacks the innovative pulse. While this shortcoming has been one of our greatest setbacks, the manufacturing fraternity has woken up to this loophole. Today, right from attempting to make indigenous aircraft to creating path-breaking technological innovations, the Indian manufacturing sector is all set to be at par with global innovations.

The industry is averse to adopting new technology.

Fact: Across the entire manufacturing chain, the industry has realised the need to adapt to new-age technology. This is justified by the increasing amount of involvement of Indian manufacturers in manufacturing goods for global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The need to meet the global quality parameters makes it imperative to adopt new technology.

05 50

MMT - August 2013

A conducive environment for manufacturing is missing.

Fact: The country, for years, has been crippled by the lack of proper infrastructure, which has played a major role in deterring foreign investment. However, gauging the massive inflow of foreign investments, measures are being actively taken to upgrade the infrastructure at all levels.

Myth Busters

European manufacturers Compared to other BRIC countries, the growth in India is less.

Fact: Today, India is among the fastest growing economies of the world. Despite the depleting conditions of global economies, Indian manufacturers are still optimistic about a faster recovery in India. While China has been the leader in manufacturing over the last decade, economic pundits agree that India is writing the future of world manufacturing.

India is not geared up for mass production.

Fact: Today, India manufactures for the world. Numerous OEMs are opting for India to become their manufacturing base to serve the entire Asian market. With low-cost manufacturing, flexibility in adapting to new manufacturing requirements and easy availability of skilled manpower, India has become the preferred manufacturing destination.

Requirement for high-end European technology is limited.

Fact: The need for high-end technology is on the rise; hence, various global manufacturing companies have created a separate line of machine tools to specifically cater to the needs of Indian manufacturing. The demand for these products is high as they enable Indian manufacturers to manufacture high-quality components in a cost-effective manner.

06 08

India does not have the right ecosystem for manufacturing.

Fact: High demand has encouraged Indian manufacturers and the government to set up various manufacturing hubs across the country.

The growth of Indian industry is slower than that of other countries.

Fact: India is one of the leading automotive manufacturers in the world. Today, the country is recognised as the new hub of the aerospace industry. With various path-breaking innovations, India has geared itself to meet the global demands. This makes India an imperative destination for global manufacturing. Hence, while India is taking its manufacturing excellence to the world, it will also prove to be the most favourable destination for Europe.

The Clear Picture

The machine tool scenario in India is rather limpid; it is far behind its European counterpart. Germany is a major player in almost all the sectors— be it production, consumption, export or import. Being such a well-established

From India, To Europe sector gives the European nations enough points-of-entry to expand their reach in India. Also, considering that India is the fourth largest importer in the world, it can provide its European counterpart with lucrative offers and highly profitable business opportunities. But the question that arises here is: Has Europe explored the potential of the Indian market or is it missing out on the big opportunities? Dr Wilfried Schäfer, Executive Director, Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW), Germany, opines, “India remains one of the major markets for German machine tool solution providers. Germany is the second largest supplier to the Indian market after Japan. I believe that the customer base from India lies in the automotive and automotive supply industry. It is one of the fastest growing business verticals in the country. Here, the demand comes from not only Indian companies but also foreign firms. Aerospace and electrical equipment are the industrial sectors where German technology can prove beneficial.” “Further, German machine tools can bring high levels of productivity and efficiency in the mechanical engineering segment. In the metals sector, the steel industry is an important customer in India,” Dr Schäfer adds.

Opportunities & Challenges

Although every sector is unique in its own manner, each one of them provides some opportunities to be utilised to the maximum and challenges to be overcome. n

Automobile

A report by Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) extrapolates that by 2016, the size of the Indian automotive industry will be between US$122 and US$159 billion, including exports worth US$35 billion. As per Automotive Component Manufacturers Association’s (ACMA) ‘Vision 2020’ for India, the Indian auto component industry is expected to grow beyond 54

Energy

McKinsey & Company’s analysis projects that if India continues to grow at an average rate of 8% for the next 10 years, the nation’s power demand is likely to climb from its present 120 GW to around 335 GW by 2017—over 100 GW higher than the current estimates. According to the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA), 19 GW of wind energy has been installed as on March 2013. With the advent of the year 2014– 15, IWTMA is confident to cross its set target of adding 5000 MW of capacity every year. n

The industry is now well established with minor improvements in the domestic passenger carrying data, with Jan–May 2013 being approximately 26 million as against 25.81 million during the corresponding period of the previous year. In addition to the above, electronics, capital goods, auto components and auto industries have shown growth rate percentages of 13, 20, 25 and 25,

respectively. Apart from these, defence and computer hardware manufacturing are the other industries that will stoke the growth of the machine tool industry in the years to come. The current state of Indian machine tool industry is much better than it used to be a decade ago, but there are still some challenges to be faced and won. The used machinery market has a huge presence in India and it gradually grows around 30% on a yearly basis. Due to high import duties, the cost of new machinery rises to an unprecedented level and, therefore, people are skeptical about importing machines. Another aspect that needs to be improved is the average time taken to deliver a machine after an order is placed, which is about 8–10 months.

Approach towards Challenges

In today’s times, majority of the small players are willing to reach out to a wider audience. Therefore, the best way to enter the global market is through a Joint Venture (JV). It also helps ease the burden on foreign multinationals as Indian players are conversant with dealing with local matters. Dealership can also prove to be of major help when it comes to boosting sales and increasing the brand presence if JVs prove to be costly. In addition, setting up technology centres can also aid this cause to a great extent. These centres can hire quality talent that can provide demonstrations, offer service and help sell the product. Production facilities can be set up either independently or through collaborations. It is essential for a company to garner attention by setting up production facilities to ensure a wider media reach. Although not preferred by many, setting up research & development facilities in the country in order to cater to global as well as local markets can also be adopted as a means to combat challenges, more so because the country has no dearth of quality engineers and personnel. rishab.kothari@network18publishing.com

event Focus Germany Personified

Intelligent Machines in the Making A trendsetter in technology, Germany has always been synonymous with cutting edge. With the theme at EMO this year being ‘Intelligence in Production’, here’s looking at the ways in which Germany personifies this theme to the tee.

ntelligent machines … this is the most common phrase used in today’s manufacturing parlance. Manufacturers today want to include more and more intelligence in machines, thus making their production more efficient. Nowadays, intelligent machines and processes such as advance robots, digitisation, cloud-based computing, smart communication and IT system have helped reduce human error, make processes easier & faster and compelled companies to develop intelligent machines. When it comes to technology development and adoption, Europeans leads the race, as these technologies have been developed and adopted by the European giants in a big way. Talking about the future of the European industry Rupesh Mehta, 56

MMT - August 2013

MD, Macpower CNC Machines Pvt Ltd, says, “The European machine tool industry has grown from normal to multi-tasking machines and has been supplying various machine tools to varied sectors of the industry the world over. But in recent times, due to the economic slowdown, it has raised some questions about continuous growth. This has compelled the European industry to work as a European Union and devise ways like joint ventures and technology transfer.”

Intelligence in Production

Intelligence in production is the need of the hour in today’s competitive world. To meet customers’ demands, manufacturers are continuously developing products that are more intelligent and need negligible

amount of human intervention. These technologies increase productivity & efficiency and reduce human error & wastage. Technologies such as advanced robotics, use of big data and analytics, advance automation, digitisation, etc. are being used to produce in a smart way. For example, an Indian company called Marshall Machines has developed a series of products called Roboturn—a combination of turning centres and robots. The Roboturn series includes the world’s first CNC double spindle CNC turning centres with robots mounted on the machine structures as a standard feature. The feature includes compact machines with no extra space required for robots outside the machines, complete automatic loading/ unloading of components including transfer between spindles, increased

Germany Personified efficiency level, greater reliability, no manual error, etc. This is the perfect example of how using the robot smartly in machines can make them intelligent and increase productivity. ‘Intelligence in Production’ implies offering the machine tool users all over the world with the right solutions for their own individual production jobs while being a valuable partner to them. This includes not only providing the right machine, the right technology, the right process but also consultancy, global presence, responsiveness, dependable service support and a comprehensive range of corporate capabilities. For example, machine operators all over the world, with their different preconditions and job remits, need to be supported to the optimum by intelligent technology,” says Dr Wilfried Schäfer, Executive Director, German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW). In a globalised economy, ‘Intelligence in Production’ offers the option of meeting customers’ requirements at a spectrum of different production locations. In the face of enormous pressure on costs and exceptionally tough requirements for efficiency and minimised environmental

impact, production operations will have to be maximally cost-effective in the future. This will also drive the demand for smart technologies.

Benefits of Intelligent Technologies

According to an official statement, efficiency, quality, flexibility and availability constitute the foundation of a company’s success, irrespective of where its production operations are located. Minimal cost advantages are crucial in determining whether an order will be placed. These are achieved by means of intelligent production technology. The principal focus here is to improve machinery concepts, control technology & software and tools & processes. With a continuous stream of innovation in all fields, the functionality of intelligent production systems is being constantly upgraded. The current customer requirements like changing batch sizes, an infinite number of different product variants, new materials and sustainability in production operations constitute the additional drivers for innovation. In order to handle these complex jobs, the

demand for communication capabilities is rising. ‘Intelligence in Production’ accordingly ensures that modern-day production systems are integrated into a company’s IT world. For a vendor of production technology, however, it is not sufficient to accentuate his profile in the market solely with high-tech capabilities. The conditions encountered at customers’ facilities are highly disparate. “Generally, the requirements that machine operators have to master are becoming progressively more extensive and more complex,” says Schäfer. Quality assurance, documentation, machine monitoring and maintenance, assuring energy-efficient operations ... these are just a few keywords in this context. ‘Intelligence in Production’ assists the operator to perform all assigned tasks with maximised dependability, supported by tools like multimedial elements in the control system, webbased diagnostic systems, tele-service, innovative hotline concepts and much more. In addition, specific training concepts assure the customer of the requisite skills in-house on a long-term basis as well.

Germany: Leading From the Front In the past 20 years, the international machine tool consumption has risen by 70%. More than half of the world’s production output of machine tools is exported. From Europe alone comes one machine in two, delivered to more than 70 different countries. Germany ranks second in terms of export, which is evidence that their technology has been accepted all over the world. Germany has always been at the forefront when it comes to constantly demanding new technology as well as coming up with newer concepts of manufacturing. This opens up major opportunities for the vendors of production technology who respond appropriately to regional idiosyncrasies & customers’ wishes, and are able to intelligently organise their capabilities for disparate markets. Harnessing technical expertise, comprehensive technological know-how and superlative process competence to meet customer needs worldwide usually entails severe pressure on costs and competition for the company. Sensing the trend in the industry, the organisers of EMO 2013 have made ‘Intelligence in Production’ as the theme of the event that will showcase cutting-edge intelligent technologies. If you are visiting the show, get ready to witness ‘Intelligence in Production’.

Collaborating For a Better Tomorrow

The machine tool industry in Germany is one of the five largest trade branches within the German mechanical engineering sector; however, the recent slowdown has affected the business in this country. This is the time when India and Germany can work together to fight the slowdown. Nishant Kashyap takes a look at the current scenario in the German machine tool industry and analyses how Indo-German partnership can help both the countries grow.

n the first quarter of 2013, order bookings in Germany’s machine tool industry fell by 19% as compared to its equivalent quarter of 2012. Domestic orders were down by 21%, while orders from abroad dropped by 18%. Although these figures clearly indicate that the industry is not functioning at its optimum level, the industry still maintains an optimistic stance on matters of demand and growth. Rajesh Nath, MD, German Engineering Federation (VDMA), says, “The international automotive industry, which deploys strategic investments in the battle for market shares, the aircraft industry and the mechanical engineering sector offer hope in this situation, with all of them intending to make aboveaverage capital investments in 58

Current Business Environment

Germans are known for their extreme engineering, sophisticated machines, innovative spirit and solutions. Besides the core processing techniques— milling, drilling, turning, pressing, bending and grinding—there exists an extensive variety of Special Purpose Machines (SPMs) supplied to highly sophisticated industries such as automobiles, aircraft, medical, energy, electrical & electronics. The German machine tool industry ranks among the world’s top manufacturers and exporters of machine tools. Elaborating further, Nath avers, “Last year, German

Investment Destination machine tool manufacturers produced machines worth €14.2 billion. This corresponded to a growth of 10%— the best among the five biggest producer nations. This is akin to the pre-crisis level of 2008. In the ongoing year, German manufacturers, like their international counterparts, are focusing on consolidation. In 2013, although modest, a growth is forecasted.” Agreed, the current business sentiment in Europe is not highly positive, but a few European countries like Germany and France are still investing in new technology; albeit, at a marginally slow growth rate. Along with the promising Asian market, the American market is also picking up and generating good opportunities for machine tool builders in Germany.

German Superiority

German machine tool manufacturers are leaders when it comes to technological excellence; they offer suitable production engineering to enable new requirements such as new

drive technologies in the automotive industry, machining composite materials and lightweight construction in the aircraft industry. Manufacturing companies were always the engines of growth in the German economy, even for the service sector. The German machine tool industry largely comprises mediumsized companies that supply production technology for metalworking to various industries. The country has always been known for its technology and innovation (the reasons behind its success), because it continually improves its products and processes across the globe. Companies from Germany invest heavily in R&D, leading to the invention of new technologies.

Why India?

Germany is the world’s third largest manufacturer of machine tools. With a volume of almost €10.8 billion in 2012, the country is an attractive target for all machine tool manufacturers operating on an international scale. It is not only an open market; it is also a demanding one. Dr Wilfried

Schäfer, Executive Director, German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW), says, “India is an attractive market for the machine tool industry, with vigorous growth and sizeable imports of innovative production technology. Germans are the right partners when it comes to building a modern-day industrial sector, regardless of whether it involves automotive component suppliers, aircraft manufacturing or mechanical engineering.” So far, India has primarily supplied parts and accessories for SPMs. In alliance with German customers, they can produce high-quality parts and accessories for both Indian and international markets. After Japan, Germany has been the second most important supplier for India’s industrial sector since many years. In 2012, Germany exported machines and parts worth €247 million to India. India’s ‘manufacturing hub’ tag has attracted many global companies to set up base in the country and Germany is no exception. It is the second most preferred country for machine tools in India.

Indo-German Partnership Since 2004, Germany’s machine tools exports to India have tripled. While German manufacturers have exported technology machines to major customers in India, exports from India to Germany have also increased significantly. The current global financial turmoil has hit almost all the economies around the world much more than was anticipated. With the European market being affected the most, it is a good opportunity for Germans to look for emerging countries like India where companies are still buying machines. Indian companies, on the other hand, will benefit from partnerships with their German counterpart. Therefore, they should enhance their presence in the European market and move towards upgrading their technology. They can also provide a sales and dealership network to their German counterparts in order to help them make a mark in the country. This is the time when an Indo-German partnership of skilled manpower and cutting-edge technological might will lead to global dominance in manufacturing. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

The VL 2 is a pick-up turning machine with which the EMAG engineers are fulfilling a combination of two extreme demands: highest possible output rates on the smallest possible footprint. “Although the floor space requirement for this vertical turning machine is about 5 sqm, it is of an allembracing specification, including fully comprehensive automation concept with conveyor belt, workpiece storage and pick-up spindle. In combination with vertical turning, this results in fast machining processes.” In other words, short loading travels guarantee the lowest possible component costs. Compared to horizontal turning machines, productivity rates increase quite noticeably, and handling the VL 2 is 66

simple. All service units are freely and quickly accessible. The user can set up the machine in one go. That too is important when productivity levels enter the equation. Operators without prior experience, working at a new and unfamiliar location, will be able to quickly familiarise themselves with the machine. All in all, this is an optimal solution for those who want to extent production with as little investment as possible. A pretty similar approach is shown with the VT 2-4 Vertical Turning Machine with which the specialists have created an equally fast manufacturing system for shaft production. Even demanding machining processes can be realised on it. When machining shafts of up to 400 mm length

and 63 mm diameter component costs reduce massively, with extremely short chipto-chip times (as with the VL 2) being the reason. Workpiece grippers transport the raw parts into the machine and remove them again once they have been machined. Depending on the workpiece, the changeover can be accomplished in just 6 seconds and the actual turning process is fast too. 4-axis machining allows for the component to be machined from two sides simultaneously. Vertical alignment of the workpieces provides for consistent process integrity, as the unhindered chip flow prevents the formation of clusters in the machining area. We deliver closely pinpointed manufacturing solutions that are, in every respect, tailor-made to customer requirements”, explains Dieter Kollmar, MD, EMAG Holding GmbH.

n manufacturing, choosing the right tool is essential. The maturing manufacturing sector in India has just begun to understand the importance of investing in the right tool. By opening up an array of customised tooling solutions for the Indian manufacturing fraternity, the tooling industry plans to optimise this opportunity. However, this opportunity has been suddenly eclipsed by the staggering economy. The tooling industry has had to bear the brunt of the constantly worsening business scenario. With major automotive companies witnessing an all-time low for months together, manufacturing has come to a gradual halt. For the tooling industry, the only viable solution is to patiently wait for the market to open and manufacturing to restart. Elaborating further, Ramesh Vora, CMD, Robin Precision Products Pvt Ltd, says, “Tooling is the most essential part of the machine tool industry. In order to strengthen the Indian manufacturing sector, its backbone industry (machine tools) should be strong. The compatibility of the tooling industry affects the strength of the manufacturing sector, which is exactly why there is a huge demand for the right cutting tools.”

Current Trend

Currently, the Indian industry is going through a phase of uncertainty; the rupee is falling against all major currencies; economy is ambiguous and automobile sales are gradually dropping. This has affected the Indian industry; companies are holding back their purchasing activities. L Krishnan, MD, TaeguTec India P Ltd, explains, “Currently, the economy is reeling from a slowdown and the manufacturing industry has been affected as well. In the cutting 74

MMT - August 2013

The glory that the Indian machine tool industry saw a year back has now lost its sheen owing to the unending global economic crisis. With the manufacturing scenario becoming bleak, the tooling industry is finding it difficult to hold on to optimism. Has this industry lost hope or is it patiently waiting for the revival of the economy? Debarati Basu Das and Nishant Kashyap find out…

tool industry, the customer is looking for ways to optimise the existing resources concurrently with cutting costs. There is more activity on the development front of new products. More cost-effective and better machining solutions will prevail at the end of the day.” Although the biggest consumer of the industry— automotive—is shrinking, other sectors such as wind energy, infrastructure, medical and aerospace are generating huge opportunities for tool manufacturers. This situation has compelled companies to have a diversified product range to cater to the multiple industry segments. Commenting on the same, Pankaj Gangrade, VP - Sales & Marketing, Seco Tools India (P) Ltd, informs, “The cutting tool industry is believed to be one of the most dynamic industries from the perspective of product innovation. The pace of product innovation is highly driven by developments in machine tools, work piece materials, components complexity, programming and other machining variables. Customers are looking for the most innovative solutions that can lead to higher productivity, lower machining cost and stringent quality parameters. Overall, products with value-added features are the most sought after.” Interestingly, tool manufacturers such as Special Purpose Machine (SPM) manufacturers have not only made their presence felt in India but have also gone one step ahead and are manufacturing products in the country. Some companies are in the expansion mode, while others have made India

Performance Analysis their R&D hub to design and develop new products. Also, unlike SPM or Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturers that include Indian companies competing with global players, there are not many big Indian toolmakers who can compete with their foreign counterparts.

Performance Analysis

It is evident that the industry is facing a global downturn. The automotive industry—the biggest consumer of tools—has, for the first time, witnessed a decline in sales for eight continuous months. Gangrade avers, “In India, all the major macroeconomic indicators have been at the lowest level since a decade now. Majority of the industries, including core industries, are witnessing a steady decline. The cutting tool industry is no exception to this economic scenario.” The situation is, of course, not promising, but companies have plans to tackle it. Many companies believe that this is the best time to invest in R&D and launch new technologies when the market opens up; divert their focus to other sectors that create demand and look for emerging geographies. In addition, majority of the tools in India are imported; this, coupled with the Indian currency significantly going down, has led to an increase in the costs for Indian companies. Krishnan points out, “The manufacturing industry’s slowdown has the usual ripple effect on our industry too. Currently, industry volumes have dropped by 15–20% from the base quarters of 2011. The declining rupee has added to the woes owing to increased costs. The players are thus facing both volume and cost pressures.” In the last quarter, tool manufacturers either witnessed a decline or a stable demand for the tools as compared to the previous quarter. Vora says, “Companies are looking for best-in-class technology with minimum cost. We are one of the links in the manufacturing sector’s chain and if there is any slowdown, it is bound to affect our business too. Compared to

´ The compatibility of the tooling industry affects the strength of the manufacturing sector

last year, the demand for tools has gone down this year.”

Corrective Measures

Amidst all this, it is evident that Indian

Indian Players Currently, the Indian industry is dominated by foreign players and there are very few Indian companies that manufacture tools—this department is dominated by European players and a few Korean companies. Indian companies have not worked towards cutting-edge technology as yet and the industry relies on foreign players for the same. Gangrade says, “Technological advancement in the cutting tool industry is still dominated and driven by European players. If we look at the present scenario, by and large, Indian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) (tool manufacturers) rely heavily on technology transfer from foreign players for high-end technology products.” If Indian companies invest heavily in new product development and focus on some of the emerging markets, they will be able to compete with foreign companies. Talking about Indian SMEs, Krishnan says, “Yes, Indian SMEs can become high-end providers if they invest in newer solutions and develop intellectual property.”

August 2013 - MMT

Performance Analysis manufacturing has to undergo an overall facelift. While competing with global standards and quality parameters is the norm of the day, Indian manufacturers have to climb the ladders of quality, cost and innovation before they face the heat of global competition. Krishnan feels, “There has to be effective management of cost, technology and value proposition to customers.” To this, Gangrade adds, “The need of the hour is to catch the pulse of the market and deliver the solutions.” At a time when investments are low, the industry needs to find a better way out. This is also a time when tooling providers can invest their time and money to understand the requirement of the industry, analyse next-generation tooling solutions coming up in the global fraternity, upgrade in-house innovation & research and development activities and be ready with low-cost, high-end solutions when the market opens up. This is the time to catch up with the global industry and gear up

Many companies believe that this is the best time to invest in R&D and launch new technologies when the market opens up. before the market situation ripens.

The Way Ahead

The industry is currently opting for the wait and watch approach. While the tooling industry is not expected to witness a dramatic revolution this year, the industry is still optimistic. Gangrade envisages, “We do not see a major turnaround in the coming year. However, we are hoping to see some positive momentum in the economy going forward. India will have its

assembly elections in 2014. Political stability and the pace of economic reforms are bound to be the decisive parameters in the time to come.” Krishnan adds, “The next year is going to be rather tough. Sluggish (if not non-existent) growth rates, combined with high levels of cost pressure, reflect a highly bleak outlook for the coming year. Even otherwise, the tooling industry can only hope to revive itself once the manufacturing sector is up & steady and is ready to invest. However, this should not deter the industry from having an upbeat approach. Amidst cautious approach, there are signs that the glory and sheen that this industry has seen in the past will come forth once again. It is said that the night brings hope for a better dawn … this industry too will see better days soon. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

Special Focus Competition Quotient

At a time when every industry is part of the global conglomeration, an outward outlook in manufacturing is imperative. However, while machine manufacturers are consistently focusing on exports, are tool manufacturers keen on a similar approach? Debarati Basu Das finds out the various levels of competition that the industry is facing and its level of preparedness.

ompetition is what drives innovation. This is the time and age when a manufacturer has to focus not on one but numerous levels of competitions from various quarters. The tooling industry might be a small segment in the manufacturing fraternity, but it is also one of the most important aspects of manufacturing. The Indian manufacturing sector has depended on the tooling expertise provided by various foreign players since long. However, of late, various Indian players have considered entering this segment of the industry. Sanjay B Baljekar, Director, Emuge India Pvt Ltd, says, “With India being in focus for long, nearly all the global players have entered or are entering the market. Local competitors are also responding to the increased global competition by 78

MMT - August 2013

taking steps in the right direction. The market is more competitive than ever before and it is more than likely that the competition will get tougher with more and more players entering the fray.”

Global Competition

For various tooling solution providers in India, the initial competition that they face is from their global counterparts who constantly look to enter the Indian market. And this competition is constantly going up with an increasing number of foreign players choosing India as a lucrative destination for doing business. Further, the manufacturing sector has garnered a deep understanding of the need for good quality tools. This creates an additional roadblock for tooling providers in their race to convince Indian customers. L Krishnan, MD, TaeguTec India P Ltd,

explains, “We expect the competition to increase in time to come because of growing markets like China and India. Tough competition in terms of offering value proposition and competitive technologies is expected.”

New Dimensions

With manufacturers taking risks to go beyond the conventional, the tooling industry also has a reason to think of out-of-the-box solutions. Over the past few years, various Indian tooling solution providers have entered the domain. However, can they ever be major competition to global tooling giants in India? Krishnan feels, “Indian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can become high-end providers if they invest in newer solutions and develop intellectual property.” However, Baljekar feels,

Competition Quotient “Technological advancement in the cutting tool industry is still dominated and driven by European players. If we look at the present scenario, by and large, Indian SMEs (tool manufacturers) are heavily relying on technology transfer from these players for highend technology products.” He adds, “Indian companies need to focus on two aspects: quality and logistics. Global brands are known for their reliability, reach, knowledge base and technical prowess. Indian companies need to harness their development capability. It is important to invest in R&D to be competitive enough to survive in the ‘global’ environment experienced in the Indian industry today.” Indian manufacturers have always been crippled by various hurdles in terms of cost and finances that keep them away from experimentation. However, becoming significant competition may not be a distant dream for Indian manufacturers if the right strategies are in place. Pankaj Gangrade, VP - Sales & Marketing, Seco Tools India (P) Ltd, explains, “The competition is getting stiff and sustainable growth is obviously the success mantra for both global as well as local players. However, the ones who adapt to the changing business environment and respond to industry requirements faster will navigate through this precarious economic climate.”

Getting Past Roadblocks

With a robust industry such as manufacturing, healthy competition from Indian manufacturers will only enhance the level of manufacturing in the industry. However, to reach this level, Indian tool manufacturers need to walk past their setback and carve their own way into the competition. Here are some of the areas that Indian tool manufacturers need to work on. n Global outlook: Today, tools manufactured by Indian manufacturers are usually for domestic usage. Manufacturers need to imbibe an outward approach keeping the global audience in mind. This will bring them in sync with the 80

MMT - August 2013

For various tooling solution providers in India, the initial competition that they face is from their global counterparts who constantly look to enter the Indian market. Indian machining industry, which is already focusing on providing global solutions. n Quality: Manufacturing today focuses on achieving precision in microns. Tools made in India must aim to reach the global level of precision. n Innovation: There is a dire need for R&D and innovation in the Indian tooling industry. The global market is experimenting with new-age material, designs and dimensions to suit manufacturing needs. India too needs to walk similar grounds. Baljekar feels, “We strongly believe that Indian SMEs can become highend technology providers. However, this can be achieved over a long term with a strong vision and application of resources in R&D. If a company can manage to generate sufficient resources to invest in R&D, every single company can become a highend technology provider. Today, the only hindrance for the SME sector is the large capital commitments at reasonable interest rates required to achieve the goal of being recognised as a high-end technology provider.” n Expanding scope: In today’s manufacturing scenario, the world is expanding. There are new areas of manufacturing challenging this fraternity. Indian tool makers need to take up more complex jobs to

ideate and manufacture tooling solutions for new industries like aerospace, medical machining, etc. n Joining hands: While the world sees a lucrative destination for business in India, Indian companies too should grab this opportunity by collaborating with the right global counterparts, who can help them gain the right technical knowledge and connect with the global industry. n Risk-taking ability: Adhering to the traditional and conventional way will not get you far. Tool manufacturers need to come out of their coop and experiment with contemporary ways of manufacturing. It is high time that Indian manufacturers take up risks, invest and experiment in areas that are less taken. The country needs to work towards becoming a pioneer in its own field. n Creating a brand image: It took years for the Indian machine tool industry to carve its own niche in the global market. The cutting tool industry needs to take the lead and create a similar niche for itself by being a manufacturer of high-end, innovative tools. n Market it right: With new-age networking strategies, the world sure is a global village. Indian manufacturers need to explore the various next-generation marketing opportunities to take their innovation to all corners of the world. Various online marketing platforms have always remained underutilised by Indian SMEs. At times, creating a brand image is not enough. Continuously being present in the minds of consumers is also an art that the industry needs to learn. These are just some of the areas that Indian tool making companies need to focus on before they take on global competition. The industry, with the right attitude to succeed, will certainly be able to carve a niche for being a world-class tooling solutions provider. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Special Focus Production Economy

Fine-tuning Cost-efficiency and Productivity! Metal cutting enables the production of workpieces with specified dimensions, tolerances and surface integrity. It also requires the use of different cutting tools. But are all those tools needed? Are they used at the peak of their possibilities? There will always be situations to be improved and bottlenecks to be overcome to achieve the final goal—efficient and effective production.

Production Economy Production economy is all about assuring maximum security and predictability of a process while maintaining the highest productivity and lowest production costs. A microeconomic analysis shows that a lot of time is spent on machine set-up, tool handling and problem solving. Working with easy-to-use and versatile tooling minimises the idle times and increases the time for effective production. Once this is done, the second step is to efficiently use the available productive time. From a macroeconomic perspective, an analysis of the production process reveals several hidden costs in the intermediate stocks of semi-finished workpieces. There is no use in optimising cutting times on machine ‘A’ if machine ‘B’ creates a productivity bottleneck. This will only create extra costs in semi-finished workpieces. Further analysis shows certain drawbacks in the tool set-up and indexing (and related test runs), which are another source of reliability losses. Tool set-up and indexing are the major reasons for quality losses in workpieces as there is extensive scrapping of workpieces directly after tool set-up or indexing.

MMT - August 2013

Production Economy These observations define the steps to be taken towards an efficient and effective production process: A predictable cutting process

1. Select the best possible production environment (Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), machine tool, coolant). There could be certain constraints during the optimising process. 2. Decide on a 1:1 optimisation (non-productive times already minimised) or a more global approach (concentrate not only on machining costs and times but also on total process costs and times). 3. Select the best possible tooling for the target (versatile, safe and best performing). 4. Select the biggest depth of cut possible (the constraints due to available machine power & torque and stability of workpiece fixturing & tool clamping). 5. Select the biggest feed possible (think about the constraints in workpiece quality and risk of tool failure).

6. Calibrate the depth of cut & feed to ensure safe operation with regard to chip formation & evacuation, vibrations, etc. 7. Select the optimisation c r i t e r i o n (minimum cost or maximum productivity). 8. Use cutting speed to calibrate optimisation criterion. The first concern throughout the

As the ambition is to produce more efficiently, all the elements in the process should be evaluated for their potential power to endanger the reliability. If the risk is too high, they should be changed, modified or their impact should be correctly taken into account in the next optimisation process. We focus on a situation where all non-productive times have been minimised as much as possible. The tooling has been selected in line with a correctly defined global goal. A cutting process is about creating high Metal Removal Rates (MMRs) at

low costs. To achieve this, we can work with three cutting conditions. The highest interest is in maximising the depths of cut and feeds to create higher MRR as this keeps the reliability on the highest level. This requires stable working conditions (tool clamping, workpiece fixturing, machine stability). Once we reach the limits, we can switch to further fine-tuning. When evaluating the impact of the cutting speed on a metal cutting process, it is observed that higher cutting speeds increase productivity. When the cutting speed is too high, tool life becomes so short that the cutting time gained is totally absorbed by the extra tool indexing times. This cutting speed is the cutting speed for maximum production. August 2013 - MMT

Production Economy Production Cost Production costs are the sum of tool and machine costs. We observe that although costs lower with increasing cutting speeds, they start increasing again from a certain point. From a certain cutting speed, the tool life becomes so short that a cutting edge has to be replaced often. Therefore, the decrease in machine costs has minimum effect as compared to the rapidly increasing tool costs. The cutting speed, wherein the sum of two costs balances to the minimum, and the accompanying tool life are economical.

Conclusion

Bringing these two together gives a clear picture of the goal to be achieved. When the selected cutting speed is in

The above observations lead us to a clear conclusion that it is always beneficial to work with depths of cut and feeds that are as high as possible and to work with the cutting speed to fine-tune the balance between productivity and cost efficiency only in the second phase.

the vicinity of both the economical cutting speed and the cutting speed for maximum production, it is called highefficiency cutting speed. Understanding the principles described in this article will help one find out the best possible combination of cutting conditions for an application. This is referred to as a 1:1 optimisation (one application and one tool). Without too much calculus, this approach also helps to better understand the impact on cost and cutting time of a changing production environment.

opinions & more Yoshito Uehara Q Changes in tooling

solutions due to the growing demands for speed and productivity

Cutting the

Chase!

“The Indian industry today is investing in modern high-powered machines and the requirement for highly productive tools is much higher. We find more and more applications for advanced materials like Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN), Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) and ceramics as customers are looking at faster machining of components,” opines Yoshito Uehara, President & CEO, Tungaloy Corporation, during a tete-a-tete with Nishant Kashyap. 86

MMT - August 2013

Tooling solutions should result in higher productivity and profits, which is the direct result of high-speed cutting tools. The cutting tool industry needs better productivity and faster cycle time. This can be achieved by offering higher feed rates/ cutting speeds of cutting tools. Due to advanced tool materials like CBN, PCD and ceramics, the cutting speed significantly increases, thus reducing the cycle time for machining. This has reduced the cutting time and has resulted in overall cost reduction. Today, we have many options with respect to high-feed tools in both turning and milling applications and feed rates of up to 2 mm/rev can be provided for high-feed machining. Highfeed machining, as a concept, has grown and is being used in many applications like bore enlargements and production of large holes using helical interpolation methods. While these tools were earlier used in die and mould applications, now they have found applicability in many other areas. Due to the helical cutting edge and smoother cutting, it is possible to more than double the depth of cut compared with conventional tools. Dry cutting is also required in some segments, and we have many grades that work in dry machining. This eliminates the

Yoshito Uehara use of cutting fluids and helps in reduce the overall manufacturing cost. We constantly update our tools, which enable high-cutting speeds and feed rates. As a result, our customers stand to benefit with faster machining time. Customers work with with higher productivity -reducing overall production costs which results in more profits. With the above mentioned advancements, the cycle time for machining has reduced to enable faster production.

Q Your last quarter results

(growth rate, percent change, etc.)

We are continuously growing and have added new products & customers in our range, which has helped us keep up the momentum. The Indian market is going through a tough time with the automotive sector slowing down. However, we have still managed to grow around 15% from the previous quarter. This growth was possible due to innovative products and focus on customer base and their requirements. In terms of the next quarter, we will hopefully keep growing—as compared to the last quarter, we will grow by another 15% in this quarter.

Q Latest technologies and

developments in this field

Tungaloy has launched some unique tools in the last one year. We have launched DoMiniBore for replacing positive inserts in a small diameter boring. We offer double the number of cutting edges as compared to conventional 2 or 3 cutting edges. The unique design of the holder enables better performance; in many cases, we have given 100% better results than conventional CCMT inserts. The cost/component has been reduced significantly and customers are satisfied with these products. Another unique tool is Tung Six, which is the world’s first indexbale drill with six cutting edges for bigger diameter drilling.

MMT - August 2013

We have successfully implemented these tools in the Indian market. The DoMiniBore and the Tung Six are unique and innovative tools with unconventional design elements to give customers the benefit of reducing their cost per component. We also have a 4-edged grooving solution (Tung Tetra), a new range of grooving tools (Easy Cut), new milling cutters (Tung Tri) and new high-feed tools (Tung Feed Quad). These tools help give customers an alternate solution that is highly

Q The demand trend in the

tooling industry, particularly in India

The Indian industry today is investing in modern high-powered machines and the requirement for highly productive tools is much higher. We find more and more applications for advanced materials like CBN – PCD and ceramics as customers are looking at faster machining of components. Cutting tool companies are developing new tools to provide better solutions for productivity enhancement by increasing the feed rate or depth of cut. Another trend is that of replacing grinding with hard part turning. This is an effective application area

for CBN tooling, which is the core strength of Tungaloy. Customers today need customised solutions tailored based on their specific component requirements. They are ready to invest in such solutions to ensure shorter cycle times. This trend will continue and more tailormade solutions will be in demand in the years to come. Machining superalloys is a major opportunity resulting from the increase in aerospace-related activity. Many automotive components, which were previously manufactured using cast iron, are now being manufactured in aluminium—the usage of aluminium is increasing rapidly, which, in turn, offers a big opportunity.

Q Challenges in terms of

adopting the latest cutting tools in India

The need for special customised tools is increasing; this serves as a good growth possibility. Based on the volumes to be machined, customers are opting for customised solutions to reduce cycle times. The development of customised tools requires a highly skilled design backup and thorough knowledge of the application. We, in our Group, has expertise to develop these specials and have started focussing on this activity in India.

Insights & Outlook Growing Horizon

Prototyping: New-age Manufacturing Mantra Today, observing manufacturing processes is no less than watching a science fiction movie. New-age rapid prototyping technologies have transformed monotonous processes into awe-inspiring experiences. As the industry strives to make ends meet in terms of achieving high levels of precision with low costs, rapid prototyping is the solution. Debarati Basu Das takes a look at what makes this technology unique to Indian manufacturing.

anufacturing is changing dramatically as new-age technologies continue to raise the bar for better, faster and cheaper mode of product design and development. Every industry today requires highprecision and error-free manufacturing with minimum loss in time & material. Given these requirements, rapid prototyping is fast gaining recognition in industries across the globe. However, while the understanding of this technology is raw, the Indian industry is yet to embrace and experiment with it. It is imperative to understand the basics 94

MMT - August 2013

of this technology first. Manufacturing is undergoing a rampant change in two quarters. Today, the primary aim of manufacturers is to cut down on the cost of production without tampering with the quality at any level. This can be best achieved if the time of production is reduced, rejection is nullified and the quality of components is guaranteed at the prototyping phase. On the other hand, the dynamics of the industry is going global. Today, even smaller companies are embracing global manufacturing parameters. All this requires technologies that would facilitate this transformation.

Rapid prototyping, as a technology, is not new. However, widening the parameters of its application is bringing about a revolution. Today, from jewellery designs to precision medical parts, this technology is altogether changing the world of manufacturing. To begin with, rapid prototyping or 3D printing is an additive manufacturing technology where a virtual design from modeling or data from CAD software is read by a 3D printing machine and lays successive layers of liquid, powder or sheet material to build the physical model from a series of cross sections. These layers blend to create the final shape of the CAD model.

Growing Horizon Subtractive Rapid Prototyping: A Safer Bet? The changing needs of manufacturing constantly aid the evolution of technology. While rapid prototyping is slowly picking up pace in the industry, subtractive rapid prototyping promises something more. The dilemma pertains to which one is better. Here is a quick look at how these two technologies differ from each other. While in additive rapid prototyping, material is added to create a structure, subtractive prototyping is another way to create prototypes where material is removed from a larger piece of material. This technology is typically created using traditional manufacturing processes like milling, turning/ lathing, drilling, etc. This process starts with a block of material (metal or plastic), which is gradually cut away until the prototype part is created.

Advantages of Subtractive Rapid Prototyping:

Materials: It can be performed on real plastics having isotropic material properties rather than materials that are similar to real plastics. On the other hand, additive

Typically, rapid prototyping systems can produce 3D models within a few hours depending on the type of machine and size of models being produced. However, here is where this technology is misunderstood. One needs to understand that rapid prototyping technology is not a complete replacement of existing traditional technologies but has unique characteristics that enhance manufacturing, if used in the right places. As the name implies, the technology is incredibly useful for rapidly creating prototypes of objects with minimal human intervention. However, while rapid prototyping can do things that are impossible with other machines, there are also things that are much easier using traditional machines.

Rapid Prototype: To Do or Not To Do?

This is a question which makes every manufacturer pause to think. For one, it is essential to recognise where to implement rapid prototyping techniques. In a basic rapid prototyping methodology, a Computer-aided Design (CAD) model is first converted to the Stereo Lithography (STL) format,

manufacturing, even real plastics (i.e. ABS, PC, Nylon) have limitations due to process variables like build orientation, layer thickness, post-processing and other factors Speed: For certain geometries, one can get parts faster in subtractive rapid prototyping Surface finish: This process eliminates all kinds of distortions to give a better surface finish with a smooth workpiece surface Stable process: Once the system is in work, the process is fully automatic and does not require additional observation till the end of the process High-dimensional accuracy: This process ensures an accuracy of 0.1mm or less

Disadvantages of Subtractive Rapid Prototyping:

Shapes: Subtractive prototyping can make relatively simple shapes—complex geometries are not possible Material: Material used must be a photosensitive resin

following which a rapid prototyping machine processes the .STL file by creating sliced layers of the model. The process is repeated until completion of the model. The model and its supports are removed and its surface is then finished & cleaned. As simple as it looks, here are some of the advantages of this technology. This process: n Increases visualisation capability in the early phases of design n Detects design flaws before manufacturing n Enables fast and effective communication of design ideas n Enables effective validation of design fit, form and function n Decreases development time n Provides immense design flexibility n Extends product lifetime by adding necessary features and eliminates redundant features early in the design. Rapid prototyping has been known to reduce time by 60–90% in industries that highly emphasise on reducing the cost of new product development and time to market. However, no technology is without a setback. Many argue that rapid prototyping is not as

effective since it fails in the replication of the real product or system. However, this is only possible if some important developmental steps are omitted to get a quick and cheap working model. Secondly, this technology may not be suitable for large-sized applications.

Extending Boundaries

The reach of rapid prototyping has gone beyond imagination. What started as a cost-effective endeavour is today becoming one of the most soughtafter technologies in every industry. The usage of this industry is being experimented in newer ways. Here are some of the industries where rapid prototyping is considered as the nextgeneration solution to faster, cheaper and precision manufacturing: Engineering: Engineers need to constantly create prototypes of the products or designs that they are working on. Earlier, the process of creating prototypes would take weeks and required the use of extensive manpower as it involved the cutting & piecing together of paper, wood and other materials to create the prototype. However now, owing to 3D printing, August 2013 - MMT

engineers only need to create a 3D graphic image of the design that they are working on and have it made using a 3D printer. Automotive: Major automotive & aeronautical engineers and designers depend on prototyping their parts and components using rapid prototyping for design verification and testing. This technology helps them test new designs and concepts at low costs. This technology assures product designing with minimum risk of failures. Aerospace: A wide range of complex parts are manufactured using 3D printing. Global giants such as Boeing, Airbus, GE, etc. are at advanced stages of manufacturing parts using this technique. GE, the world’s largest supplier of jet engines, is preparing to

produce a fuel nozzle for a new aircraft engine by printing the said part using lasers rather than casting and welding the metal. Consumer goods: Rapid prototyping can be a boon for manufacturing various kinds of applications for the consumer goods industry. This technology helps customers analyse the form, function and aesthetics of various applications before manufacturing. Jewellery designing: The jewellery industry was one of the first industries to use 3D printing in its ‘investment casting’ process. However, instead of metal printers, wax is used here, i.e. the piece of jewellery is sculpted or printed 96

MMT - August 2013

and many independent jewellers have been using high-tech printers in their businesses. This is because owing to the competition, this industry emphasises unique intricate designs, which is next to impossible to carve using traditional jewellery designs. Rapid prototyping has become the solution for such work to produce complex designs with better quality while cutting down on cost and time. Components manufacturing: In some industries, 3D printing has replaced traditional manufacturing to produce a gamut of products. The technology is being successfully used for manufacturing small components in

every industry. Gradually, as the demand from automobile, aerospace, medical equipment, electrical, energy and other such industries grows, companies will use 3D printing to manufacture bigger and more complex components. Medicine & implants: There are many medical cases where surgical procedures can be a ‘touch-and-go’ phenomenon. They can be so complicated that a single error can prove fatal for a patient. In such situations, 3D printing proves to be a boon. Many surgeons have now started practicing upon the 3D renderings of the part of their patient’s body before actually performing on them. This not only boosts their confidence but also increases their chances of success in an operation. Additionally, rapid prototyping has several uses in the medical sector, including making models of actual bones for surgeons to practice complicated procedures before the actual procedure. Prototypes: 3D printing has found major applicability in product development prototyping. These machines allow designers and engineers to test ideas for dimensional products at a low cost before committing to expensive tooling and manufacturing processes. Packaging: This is yet again another area that is embracing rapid prototyping. In an era when good packaging attracts the crowd, rapid prototyping can be effectively used to create innovative designs of packaging at a lower cost. Architecture: Like engineers, architects too need to create mock-ups of their designs. 3D printers allow them to come up with such mock-ups in a short period of time and with a higher degree of accuracy. These 3D models also make it easier to visualise a design.

Prototyping for the Better

Given the rising amount of intricacies and complexities that designs have today, rapid prototyping, if used in the right place with the right method, will certainly enhance manufacturing capabilities. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Insights & Outlook To Prototype or Not?

Courtesy: Econolyst

3D printing, often heralded as the future of manufacturing, is still in its nascent stage in India. With a wide range of developments underway in this field, the technology is steadily finding its way into the diverse industry segment. However, a fact to lament is that the technology has not been efficiently utilised in the country as yet. Nishant Kashyap ponders over the reasons and solutions.

spate of developments has taken shape recently in the field of 3D printing. Instances include a law student in the US developing a 3D-printed gun, a Columbia-based company coming up with an unheard concept of combining 3D printing & tissue engineering to develop meat and NASA developing a 3D food printer for astronauts to create custom meals when on the fly, and not to forget the talks about the advent of 4D printers. Despite these developments, there are still some challenges for India to overcome to adopt this technology and enhance its reach, which is currently restricted. Â

The Challenges

Before we look at the technical aspects of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in detail, we must take a broad view of the difficulties that AM faces as a 98

MMT - August 2013

revolutionary tool in the spheres of technology, business and culture. AM is not just a technology, it is also a fundamental shift from the way designing and manufacturing have been done so far. A majority of designers have grown in an environment of traditional manufacturing methods, influenced and limited in their design by conventional processes. This not only limits the kind of products that can be manufactured but also makes manufacturers and designers reluctant to eagerly embrace additive technologies. AM is in a unique position as the technology is way ahead of the design software available for it. Additionally, there is a need to develop a wider variety of materials and properties for AM. The technology needs to be made suitable for industrial production to handle huge volumes and bulky parts under stringent quality standards.

Businesses need to look less at AM as a means to effectively market products for broad applications and more as a means to leverage its unique capabilities in specialised applications such as hearing implants. There are two major barriers preventing the increased adoption of AM: perception of high costs, i.e. heavy capital associated with the technology and lack of education or awareness of the available techniques & capabilities of various additive machines. Apart from these looming obstacles, there are technical challenges in terms of material, equipment, cost, methodology and applications, which need to be overcome for AM to realise its potential. Some other challenges include: Developing materials Although AM uses an extensive variety of materials and material combinations, there is still a need for more materials

To Prototype or Not? and greater variety. Production methodology The challenge here is to develop monitoring systems, closed-loop feedback systems and in-process evaluation methods for AM processes. This would enable reliable, consistent and uniform production of AM parts. Bulk manufacturing This is the biggest challenge in using AM. It is still not ready to be used for mass production.

Current Slate

This technology has been accepted all over the world for its various advantages—a fact that has compelled India to focus on this technology. 3D printing is in its nascent stage in India owing to the lack of awareness about the technology. Many people in India still do not know about this technology and the ones who do, shy away thinking it is costly and complicated. However, a few companies such as Imaginarium, Schneider Prototyping

Businesses need to look less at AM as a means to effectively market products for broad applications and more as a means to leverage its unique capabilities in specialised applications such as hearing implants. India Pvt Ltd, Rapid 3D Solutions India Pvt Ltd, Marcopolo Products Pvt Ltd and 3DPD have been doing a commendable job in this area. Also, an industry association called Additive Manufacturing Society of India (AMSI) promotes the latest technologies and happenings in the industry and creates

awareness through conferences, seminars, etc. In India the demand for 3D printing is catching up and is gradually being accepted in the industry. Currently, the demand comes from the industries like medical, jewellery, automobile, aerospace, etc. AM is an excellent tool for design validation and product refinement. Therefore, it serves as a good companion to the Computeraided Design (CAD) software, which is used extensively in India. Also, AM is being used increasingly for jewellery design & production and prototyping of automobile parts. The adoption of large, expensive systems has been slow in India. However, smaller & less expensive systems have been selling well. As systems become faster & easier to use and as the price/ performance ratio improves, sales are expected to grow strong in India in the coming years. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

The RNMU insert line of CHASE2MOLD™ family has now been expanded to include 10 & 16mm size inserts with cutters. The CHASE2MOLD™ RNMU line, which was initially available in 12 mm size, has proven to be a cost effective solution due to its double sided design. Now expanded to 10 & 16 mm, the line is capable of providing the same high productivity as the serrated edge “M” and the “ML” sharp cutting edge with reduced cutting force. These sizes are suitably adapted for the same applications in die & mold, power generation, aerospace and heavy industries. The 10 mm type is suited for die & mold, power generation and aerospace industries while the RNMU 16 type enables very smooth and stable machining for heavy industry segments such as ship building and the steel industry. Additionally, the new cutters can be set to mount both regular continuous cutting edge ‘ML’ and serrated cutting edge ‘M’ inserts due to the unique design of both the inserts and cutter mechanism. A further advantage of the RNMU insert line expansion design is the ‘M’ type’s serrated cutting edges that permit small chip segmenting for increased productivity, minimized vibration and low cutting force..

At the Hannover Fair igus GmbH presented a new and versatile configurable version of the intelligent transport chain “pickchain”. The functional principle of the new version remains the same: a continuously rotating chain with integrated energy and data supply and individually controllable chain links. In contrary to many classic pick & place applications this chain travels unloaded and saves at least 30% of time. The new “pikchain PC2” with 2 kg load per chain link is based on the modular and low priced energy chain modular kit from igus.A number of existing components and accessories allow more creative freedom to design. This simplifies assembly and reassembly and increases the economic efficiency. The side parts from the energy chain modular kit are equipped with low-friction guiding elements made of the highly durable plain bearing material “iglidur J”. Different widths and interior separations are available from stock. A universally usable actuator connection plate with integrated thread nuts can be equipped with grippers, cameras, tools or processing equipment. Equal to the “large” “pikchain PC5” with 5 kg load per chain link, an inside rotating “c-chain” supplies the chain links with signals, energy and media. The “c-chain” guiding can be steplessly adjusted just like the drive belt guidance, which allows many options regarding the length of the travel.

Products 2013 Turbomill

Fully waterproof, the turbomill 50SQ magnetic chuck is distinguished by high holding force concentrated near its active surface (possibility to clamp thin elements) as well as a low residual magnetism remaining after the demagnetization cycle. This makes the removal of elements after their machining very easy. Also the current required for magnetisation and demagnetisation of the chuck is much lower than in case of other electro permanent magnetic chucks available on the market. The above advantages combined with basic advantage of electro permanent chucks which is the full safety in case of power supply problems (the chucks need electric energy exclusively in short magnetization and demagnetisation phases) make of this chuck the universal tool for clamping of various elements on milling machines and machining canters.

4-axis Machining

This machine helps in fast production of the shafts. Even demanding machining processes can be realised on it. When machining shafts of up to 400 mm length and 63 mm diameter component costs reduce massively, with extremely short chip-to-chip times (as with the VL 2) being the reason. Workpiece grippers transport the raw-parts into the machine and remove them again once they have been machined. Depending on the workpiece, the changeover can be accomplished in just 6 seconds. And the actual turning process is fast too. 4-axes machining allows for the component to be machined from two sides simultaneously. Vertical alignment of the workpieces provides for consistent process integrity, as the unhindered chip flow prevents the formation of clusters in the machining area.

With the Innovative mechatronic gripper with integrated web server, the competence leader for clamping technology and gripping systems belongs to a new generation of mechatronic high-tech grippers. Beside Profibus DP, CAN and RS232, the WSG 50 for the first time disposes of an ethernet TCP/IP interface. Via a typical web browser, the WSG 50 can be commissioned quickly and easily, without the installation of new software. Due to the integrated ‘gripped component detection’ and the high positioning accuracy, the WSG 50 is for the first time able to carry out a gripping command in a shorter cycle time, and the superior process control is significantly relieved. The contained scripts are filed on the built-in SD card. The WSG 50 is the first gripper which disposes of an electric sensor interface in the base jaws. This is the basis for a direct integration of different sensor systems in gripping processes. Thus it is an ideal helper for sophisticated automation solutions, where a high flexibility or sensitivity of the gripping process is required. With the optional WSG-FMF force-measuring finger, forces which occur during the gripping process can be precisely recognized and controlled. The WSG 50 provides a stroke of 110 mm and a variable gripping force from 5 to120 N. Schunk Intec India Pvt Ltd Tel: 080-40538999 Email: Info@in.schunk.com Website: www.schunk.com
