e a Quitter!

It is said that quitting is bad, that it’s an easy way out for the weak ... whoever said this did not know quitters and the possibility of the word and the art itself! It’s a matter of perception and yes, quitting is an art; it’s an adventure for the brave and the confident. It’s about knowing what to quit and when. Sometimes when you quit, you trade fear with worth ... apprehension with conviction! Quitting is a want, it’s an attitude, but more over, it’s the moment that changes one’s life. It’s a movement to start your entrepreneurial journey following the simple ideology of either you like it or you quit it. It’s the art of loving what you like or the art of quitting what you dislike. Learn to Quit not the things you love, but the things that stop you from loving.

Earn the Right to Exist! Sometimes, companies mistake that every company has the RIGHT to exist! It is all about EARNING the right to exist ... companies have to have the willingness, appetite and culture to embrace change and adapt to new situations, do things differently and take the leap. It’s particularly true that bigger companies are really good at a lot of things, but what they are not good at is looking at these disruptions and treating them as opportunities. And the real trick is to turn that mindset where people dread failures into wanting to embrace success. And with that comes risk.

Is it the Right Time? Instead of asking questions, turn it into an exclamation…Now is the time! As the whole world is looking towards India to elevate and become the global manufacturing hub, we need to look beyond the tangible benefits and perceived profits. It is more about attaining global leadership with our own ground rules. It is also about setting new paradigms of progress, it is about showing the world what it takes to pull millions of people out of poverty and make them stakeholders in India’s growth story. It is about how to combine rapid economic growth while inculcating market-driven innovation culture, amongst zillions of other things.

LEAP: The Bounce-Back Time! Bounce-Back, its SPRING Time ... the season & sentiments support the syndrome! Be it Automotive Machining, Measuring & Control, Policy Incentives, Second-hand Machine Market or Getting ROI out of Automation, not to forget all the green machining practices that are part of this edition, it surely is Spring Time! This April, we are also hosting L.E.A.P. (Lead. Educate. Apply. Prosper.) in Goa along with our cherished partners UNIDO & IMTMA! Packed with a Punch, it is created and crafted to add value to the Indian manufacturing value chain! With all the action packed in this very special April edition of MMT, we nudge & urge our readers to grow more ... gain more ... aspire more and take a LEAP! It’s Spring Time folks!

The Spirit of the Collective

he greatest wealth of the industry lies in its collective experience. Industrial units face similar challenges at similar points of their growth journey. There is rarely a challenge faced by an industry that hasn’t been solved by someone else before—and yet, rather than learning from their predecessors, they continue to undertake this challenging growth journey alone! Similarly, by not keeping an open mind to new possibilities and directions, the industry tends to limit its own capabilities and achievements. Progress without an understanding of our own strengths and weaknesses is unattainable and sometimes, it takes someone with a greater understanding and richer experience (the collective) to identify these for us. To aid the industry in this journey and exploit our rich collective industrial experience, United Nations Industrial Development Organization – International Centre for Advancement in Manufacturing Technology (UNIDO ICAMT), in association with Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) and MMT (Modern Machine Tools), is bringing together leading industry personnel to share their experience of the challenges associated with growth at UNIDO ICAMT LEAP from 12–14 April, 2013, in Goa. UNIDO ICAMT LEAP has been developed with the aim to assist delegates in developing tools to Lead, Educate, Apply and Prosper in this industry. During the programme, industry leaders will share their growth stories and the routes they took to overcome their challenges. They will discuss their vision, development of their strategies and effective implementation. The programme will also feature iconic speakers sharing their thoughts on emerging challenges in the industry along with their vision of India’s industrial progress and opportunities for growth. The programme will help the industry in developing skills in the areas of growth planning, marketing, developing a corporate culture and skill development through the experiences of industry leaders. It will be a confluence for the industry, allowing for networking across sectors and size. UNIDO ICAMT LEAP aims to bridge the gaps between cluster members and increase the support between small and big players of the industry. The programme will also feature activities that help units in understanding their decisionmaking process and in breaking the barriers of their mind. The sessions will also focus on inculcating habits for growth, managing risks and technology upgrades. Come join us for this imperative programme and walk the path of prosperity. Join the strength and spirit of the collective. Take the LEAP!

Prospects for Machine Tool Industry: The UNIDO Perspective

anufacturing is the engine for economic growth窶馬ot only because it generates tangible products but also because it induces growth in other sectors of the economy. Robust growth of the manufacturing sector is essential for creating overall growth and employment opportunities in a developing economy. Machine tool technology is the backbone of the engineering sector in India and has reached a critical phase in its development. With the aim of supporting the manufacturing industry, UNIDO ICAMT is implementing a very ambitious project for Technology Upgrading and Productivity enhancement of the machine tool industry in India. The main objective of this project is to strengthen the competitiveness of the Indian machine tool industry. For the Indian machine tool industry to meet strong domestic demand, it has to focus on technology modernisation, quality improvement and market development. The industry also has to focus on innovation and research & development. The machine tool industry must adopt modern technologies and the best manufacturing practices; thus, enabling it to improve its performance and lead to the production of costeffective, accurate, efficient, reliable, highly automated, customised and technologically advanced products. With the objective of creating demonstration units, UNIDO ICAMT is directly assisting 110 machine tool units in six clusters in Ludhiana, Delhi NCR, Rajkot, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

Through its initiatives, it has helped these enterprises in developing new products, some of which are import substitution. Indian machine tools manufacturers must expand their outreach and create access to a larger share of the domestic market as machine tool imports constitute a high percentage of domestic demand. Through its support to cluster members for participation in regional showcase events, UNIDO ICAMT has been witness to the difference brought about by a focus on local manufacturers and the domestic market in Tier II cities, in terms of increasing unit sales. Indian machine tool manufacturers must also contemplate the viability of automation. Through the machine tool project, UNIDO ICAMT has assisted in the development of cost-effective automation tools, which are an option for larger units that can contribute to the development of significant product volumes. The machine tool industry must also start developing skills in its second line of management. From our programmes on Middle Management Development, UNIDO ICAMT has noted that the assigning of structured roles and responsibilities is giving cluster members more space to develop and implement new projects effectively. However, the most critical factor with respect to the improvement of the prospects of the Indian machine tool industry is that it must be innovative. Whether through collaboration or actuating research and development, the machine tool industry should focus on continuous and unique innovation.

TI introduces breakthrough motor control technology

otor control system designers can now concentrate on differentiating designs rather than spending weeks and months tuning their motor control systems. The new InstaSPIN™-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution from Texas Instruments (TI) can now identify, tune and fully control (through variable speeds and loads) any type of three-phase, synchronous or asynchronous motor in five minutes or less. This new technology removes the need for a mechanical motor rotor sensor to reduce system costs and improves operation using TI’s new software encoder (sensorless observer) algorithm, FAST™ (flux, angle, speed and torque). Many industries have delayed the use and adoption of sensorless FOC motor techniques because of the lack of motor control system knowledge, despite the many system benefits these techniques provide. InstaSPIN-FOC eases development and reduces system cost and complexity for designers — even those with limited motor control experience — and enables premium solutions that improve motor efficiency, performance and reliability in all variable speed and load motor applications.

In conversation with Dr Masahiko Mori Q What is the secret behind

managing so many customers?

Well, I do not know if we are able to satisfy all our customers, but we try our best to work as closely as possible with them.

Q Your growth has taken a

definite stand with the philosophy of partnering with the right partners in different countries. How do you envision this growth path in India?

India is a potential future market for us. At the moment, the infrastructure quality highly varies in different Indian areas or cities. For instance, some areas are very well equipped with regards to infrastructure, while others are remote, which results in lack of connectivity. For India

‘India is a potential future market for us…’ “If India witnesses the same growth as China, then we will need minimum 10 technical centres and one factory; however, if India’s growth resembles that of Singapore or Japan, we will need hundreds of technical centres and many more factories,” informs Dr Masahiko Mori, President, Mori Seiki Co., Ltd. He is a man of few words…but every word that he speaks is packed with potential of progress for the machine tools community as well as the country itself. Excerpts of the interview with Archana Tiwari-Nayudu... to become a strong manufacturing centre of the world, we will have to wait till the government and society build a strong infrastructure in terms of ports and river systems, among others. This will give companies some freedom to make investments and to exchange & transfer money for capital requirements.

Q You have already made an

investment in India. Are you expecting any more diversification?

If India witnesses the same growth as China, then we will need minimum 10 technical centres and one factory; however, if India’s growth resembles that of Singapore or Japan, we will need hundreds of technical centres

MMT - April 2013

and many more factories. If India focuses on efficiently spending money on infrastructure and supporting people’s quality of life, it is bound to become an apt place for investment, all the more because Indian people are intelligent, efficient and hardworking.

Q Isn’t that also a part of

growth? Every limitation is a growth opportunity for businesses; for example, you mentioned that you are investing in energy…

Yes, considering the size of India, renewable energy, for example, is not fully explored yet. India needs to look for more ways to secure a stable and sufficient power supply. It’s not

only a requirement for industry growth but also an opportunity, considering our energy solutions segment with renewable energy, energy storage solutions and energy efficiency management, as well as energy saving machine concepts for less consumption. Our machines also play a role in equipping the sector with industry related parts such as blades, turbines and pipes.

Q Today, India is bursting

with domestic demand, but domestic players are not able to satiate this demand. Your Group has its presence in Bengaluru, which is the hub of the machine tool market, how are you planning to

Dr Masahiko Mori optimise this demand in India?

We plan to bring in the required machines from Japan or Germany to continue our work in India. In the near future, we also plan to introduce a plant in India to ensure increased productivity, price efficiency and to satisfy the growing demands. The whole idea is that machines should be manufactured in India, just like it is done in the US or in China.

Q What is the timeline that you

are looking at to start a plant in India?

The timeline is not fixed, but we are in the planning stage. The development of infrastructure, as I mentioned earlier, is one important factor in defining our timing.

Q What do you think are the

five biggest mistakes that machine tool builders make in understanding the market?

There are several such mistakes. The most prominent one is that some companies think only about the price rather than the depreciation of their machines. Once a machine is installed for a customer, he/she is expected to use the machine for a minimum of 10–20 years. However, if the machines are not in proper working condition even for five years,the customer will end up being the sufferer. So, not having the imagination for the next 10–20 years is the biggest mistake. Secondly, such manufacturers actually threaten market development by focusing only on the price. Also, a machine tool company should always think minimum 20–30 years or a generation ahead, or else the manufactured machines do not reach the level that they should in terms of how materials are treated, how heat treatment is given and so on. So, the historic perspective has to be in place. Additionally, owing

One trait or quality that you do not leave home without? Quality-consciousness Your idea of a perfect team member? One who has the passion to be a good machine tool builder will definitely make a good team member. Your mentor? I cannot name any one person as there have been many mentors in my life. What is it that you dread the most professionally? It has to be cash flows. Success in your words is… Success in my eyes is the ability to satisfy people’s needs, make them happy and upgrade employees’ and customers’ quality of life. to the cyclic nature of the market, machine tool builders should have sufficient capital resources and adequate cash flows. Besides, it is essential to keep the core employees, viz. factory engineers, application personnel, accountants and marketing & sales personnel satisfied as they are a company’s assets. Adequate support should be provided to them in times of recession.

Q You made a very important

point that machine tool builders should have a historic view of their machines. The machine tool builders have to thus envisage what their customers will need 20 years down the line. How do you map this and bring it into the system to build a machine which is future ready?

Well, it is very important to find a partner-customer in each field (for instance, aircraft, automotive,

medical) and build a strong relationship with them by discussing their requirements. Wehave to select the top notch customers in the world, understand their needs and think 20–30 years ahead.

Q The synergic growth in your

organisation has helped your customers as well as you in developing new products and services. According to you, what is the edge that your organisation has over its toughest competitors?

First, we are serious machine tool builders; we always try to create fruitful relationships with our customers without overstepping any boundaries.

Special Focus Measuring Trends

The definition of precision has been redefined over the years to match up to the increasing level of complexity in the manufacturing processes today. This probably is the best time for the industry to explore the ever growing metrology solutions that the measuring and inspection industry is offering. Debarati Basu Das looks at some trends of devising metrology equipment.

he whole idea of quality has undergone a dynamic evolution. The industry today talks at the micron level of achieving precision. This has put metrology in a new league to measure precision dimensions. Also, measurement today is no longer restricted to just substantiating precision. The measurement process also has to adhere to the requirements of flexibility and speed of measuring to be in sync with the manufacturing process. The increasing number of technological innovations has brought the measurable world to the micron and sub-micron levels. Metrology is constantly becoming more subtle, just like equipment are becoming extremely sensitive to even the slightest deflections and errors. Today, there is a clear race between quality and metrology to surpass each other. Sophisticated measuring tools and technology have made quality assurance the integral 54

Drifting through Metrology Patterns

part of any manufacturing process and have helped meet the increasing levels of customer satisfaction. Here are some of the key trends that metrology and measuring equipment adhere to.

Inspecting Speed

The speed of any given manufacturing process is dramatically increasing. Hence, every aspect of manufacturing, including measurement and inspection, needs to be in sync with the overall speed of manufacturing. Research in this field has made remarkable advances in terms of contact scanning speeds. And it goes without saying that the need for highspeed scanning with better accuracy will only increase in the future. The next generation of CMMs, articulated arms and laser trackers promise to have astonishing speed and accuracy along with being small in size, portable and flexible in usage. Various

global metrology companies are taking bigger strides in bringing in remarkable advances in the way measurement and inspection will be operated in the future. Given the increasing amount of complexities being incorporated, metrology tools like contact scanning, which scan a few hundred data points in a second, will be made competent to scan over thousands of data points every second. The trend in the industry is to have tools that measure each feature with fast scanning speeds and negligible errors. Metrology giants like Carl Zeiss, Renishaw and Mitutoyo have a broad range of metrology equipment with speed and accuracy. Slower scanning speeds can cause unacceptable delays in the manufacturing process of high-volume production. With the changing technologies of high-speed measurement, the industry has been

Measuring Trends contemplating on the accuracy standards achieved through scanning surfaces and point measurements. Many feel that scanning allows collecting many more data points than touch samples, giving more data to translate into holistic information about the manufacturing process.

Accuracy Parameter

Do accuracy and high speed go together? At times, high scanning speeds are accompanied by decreased accuracy while slow and accurate scanning tends to slow down the entire process. However, inaccurate scanning is worse than slower scanning. On the other hand, metrology is all about determining accuracy. If a metrology tool cannot determine accuracy, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the sheer need for metrology tool collapse? This is where the industry is trying to eliminate the gap and determine accuracy in speed. Metrology tools are today combining these two primary elements to define the way materials are measured and inspected. In this area, optical measurement technologies are changing the traditional coordinate measurement market. Achieving higher accuracy with increased scanning speeds will be a real breakthrough in measurement and inspection processes. Measuring complex components like those used in the aerospace or medical industry demand for even greater accuracy. Higher levels of accuracy is the need of the hour for the industry.

Shrinking Size

Components are becoming smaller and complex patterns have added to the woe. In such circumstances, making metrology tools to reach convoluted areas of the components and measuring them accurately is quite a challenge. In this age and day, the metrology technology is going through a revolution. The answer to this challenge lies in the area of micro-parts metrology. Trying to measure extremely small features of less than 0.1 mm using conventional CMM is a challenge. Multi-sensor measuring systems, which measure micro parts

answer this query. Various metrology majors are working towards achieving this accuracy in micro components. Some of these devices use a combination of contact and noncontact measurement technology to achieve measurement in the nanometer range. As components continue to shrink with increasingly complex geometries, nano-metrology is gaining prominence.

measurement applications. While bulky metrology tools are being replaced by portable and handheld alternatives, an attempt is also being made to make the tools multi-operational. Also, in a manufacturing set-up, multi-operational robotic metrology tools and metrology arms are being preferred to cut down on the time required to handle metrology systems.

Environmental Control

Making Measurement Affordable

In order to capture the slightest errors, metrology solutions today have become highly sensitive. Controlling environmental factors is one of the keys to accurate measurement. Factors like temperature, dust particles and even light and sound play a huge role in ascertaining accuracy. More consideration is being given to these factors while devising metrology tools. Most manufacturing units are making additional investments by setting up special enclosures for the measurement equipment to avoid any kind of environmental disruptions in measurement accuracy. This not only takes up space but is also not financially viable for many shop floors. At a time when space crunch is one of the biggest issues faced by manufacturing companies, additional features to encompass high-end metrology solutions is not an economical option. Attempts are being made by metrology companies to make equipment that would not require special enclosures in order to ensure accuracy. Other measuring devices like Computer Tomography (CT) for coordinate metrology are primarily considered to be used in nondestructive defect testing and analysis for industrial and medical applications. They are not just faster but also address issues related to environment and temperature. Better solutions are being devised to address greater accuracy.

Flexibility

Customers ask for value for investment. Today, it is imperative for metrological instruments to be flexible, not just in size but also to address various types of

High accuracy measurement tools certainly come at a cost. However, with increasing amount of outsourcing by OEMs, accuracy is becoming the norm of even the smaller manufacturing industry. Most shop floors are trying to make high-end metrology tools as part of their manufacturing chain. However, cost is always the barrier. Constant efforts are being invested in devicing cost-effective metrology tools for costsensitive countries like India and China. Streamlining operations as per customer needs while delivering similar accuracy and devising multi operational measurement tools are some of the techniques to bring down cost without affecting performances. Customised multi-sensing devices like CMMs with vision, laser and touch-probe systems are also some ways to cut down cost by making them multi operational. Manufacturing smaller, low-cost metrology solutions is a burgeoning market today and is being accepted well both by small- and mid-sized companies that require extremely focused solutions instead of state-of-the-art equipment with unnecessary functions.

Future Measuring Dynamics

The market demand for faster and more accurate measurement options has made metrology solutions and technology evolve constantly. Metrology giants today are much more flexible when catering to these demands. Unending research in this field to cater to these demands is changing the way accuracy is measured. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Special Focus Indian Metrology

Opportunities

Substantiating accuracy is the key to manufacturing successes today. As the Indian manufacturing industry is raising its bar to achieve the global parameters of precision and accuracy, will Indian metrology equipment be able to keep pace with the measurement and accuracy needs of the industry? Debarati Basu Das finds out how domestic metrology is faring amidst the global competition.

he number of big and small metrology equipment shops is on a rise in India. However, is domestic equipment suited to meet the requirements and quality standards of Indian manufacturers? Many feel that we are yet to reach the quality parameters. However, how well do we know our industry? With the growing manufacturing base and the increasing inflow of global OEMs into the Indian manufacturing sphere, metrology stands to be one of the industries with the maximum growth opportunities. Indian metrology companies are certainly doubling their pace to make the most of this burgeoning market. 56

MMT - April 2013

However, it would not be wrong to say that the Indian industry is still dominated by names like Mitutoyo, Carl Zeiss, Renishaw and Hexagon as the most preferred metrology brands. V Srinivasan, MD, Carl Zeiss India Pvt Ltd, says, “We have been in India for 10 years and have been the market leaders. However, while the development of local competition has already begun, it is in an early phase. What the market needs is high quality and high accuracy.” The preference for global names is certainly a barrier for domestic players, but it is more important to break the perception. “Many customers in India get carried away with established brand images without looking into the specifics of the measurement problem. With

advances in the probing technology and application software, there are faster, better ways of performing the measuring tasks. This can only happen when the buyer looks objectively at the measuring task and evaluates the potential solutions,” says Vikram Salunkhe, MD, Accurate Sales & Services Pvt Ltd.

Market Outreach

The advancements in the metrology industry have shown rampant growth in technology, be it in terms of hand gauges like vernier micrometers, height gauges, plug-and-bore gauges, depth gauges or value-added equipment like profile testers, surface roughness testers and CMMs. The industry has also come up with metrology systems with robotic arms to ascertain absolute flexibility and

Indian Metrology accuracy. However, how well has the Indian metrology advanced, given the competition? Salunkhe feels, “The business of metrology over the last 50 years has matured in terms of infrastructure and solving customers’ problems. However, global solutions primarily come to India because the companies procuring products from outside are not aware of what is available in India. They do not even attempt to explore what is available in India. One of the primary steps to take as a metrology fraternity or machine tool fraternity is to create awareness for what is available in India.” On the other hand, according to Suresh Nair, MD, Micromeasures Metrology Pvt Ltd, “While there is no scientific study on the size of the metrology industry in India, a rough estimate would state that the dominance of Indian players in the domestic market is less than 20% in handheld equipment while in critical metrology equipment, we have a less than 10% hold. The bigger chunk of the market is dominated by major players. We do have good manufacturers in specialised equipment, but they are still nowhere near the quality provided by global players.” With the growing number of domestic metrology shops across the country, this segment of the industry has to address a set of specific issues to hit the mark of accuracy. Innovating mindset: One of the key features that Indian metrology lacks is the need to incorporate innovation in its product line. Stuck amidst the race between global competition and industry demands, Indian metrology manufacturers are missing out on the key essence of success, i.e. innovation. The industry needs to understand the market demand and churn our products to suit its needs. Quality consciousness: How do you justify metrology equipment if it compromises on the quality of

measurement? While the precision demand is going beyond the sub micron level, the locally manufactured measuring and inspection equipment are way below the global standards. As Nair explains, “We are far behind the world players in this industry in terms of quality and innovation because most Indian manufacturers are aiming for either low-cost import substitutes or imitations.” Hence, Indian metrology tools today are poor imitations of global technology that lack in quality and innovation. The domestic industry needs to wake up to this setback. Be trendsetters: Once quality and innovation capability are in place, the next step is to be among the trendsetters. The complexity of manufacturing has made it imperative to bring in customer-friendly solutions. “Today, metrology equipment need to be flexible and fast. The global trend is to reduce the dependence on programming. Metrology equipment needs to be simple in operation without complicated programming,” says Nair. Salunkhe adds, “One anticipated change is that more and more customers will look at the productivity benefits of the measuring solutions that they deploy on the shop floor. For this, the measurement feedback from machines has to be integrated with the company MIS and quality management systems in the organisations.” Government and industry support: No industry survives without adequate support from all quarters. This industry too is heavily banking on support to undertake adequate investments in research and innovation. On the other hand, this segment still yearns for equal support from the manufacturing industry. “Countries like Taiwan have been doing a lot better than India because of the enormous support from the government and industry alike in terms of infrastructure, finance, research assistance, etc. This has enabled them to reach out to the global market with low-cost, high-quality solutions,” feels Nair. Broaden opportunities: The growing

manufacturing industry has also been spreading its wings to new avenues. This gives an opportunity to the domestic metrology industry has been largely catering to the automotive industry. Given increased quality parameters, the industry can explore measuring complexities of other avenues like aerospace, medical, etc. “Metrology plays an important role in medical manufacturing—a very small industry in India in its nascent stage. These industries are coming up and showcase huge growth potential,” says Srinivasan. One has to be in sync with the changing market trends.

Growth Opportunities

The domestic manufacturers of measuring equipment have a huge market to cater to. To begin with, today, almost every manufacturing industry needs some sort of metrology equipment. With more and more Tier 1 companies relying upon subcontracting, there is a huge market among sub contractors who look for cost-effective metrology solutions, which ensures reliability and quality. This market is huge in India itself. A proficiency in this field could help the domestic market to test its levels of quality and innovation. “Indian metrology solutions are trustworthy and equally capable. Metrology is a combination of skills, environment and equipment. This awareness has to be cultivated as a mindset in India. These global companies are also setting up shops in India. Hence, what will come out of India will be much more than what is coming from outside India. I am optimistic about the growth,” says Salunkhe. Hence, the day is not far when Indian metrology equipment will prove its mettle. However, what is needed is a channelised way to create a better understanding about the advancements of Indian metrology among manufacturers. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Metrology, the science of measurement, can help manufacturers achieve the correct shape and surface finish for their products. It helps manufacturers achieve consistent quality and can be a big boon for enhancing productivity. However, in India, it seems to be a norm with multinational companies but only a trend with Tier III companies. Nedra Pereira finds out why...

The Mechanics of Getting Ahead!

he use of measuring tools helps confirm the exact dimensions of the products and part assemblies before getting them on the factory’s production line, and in case there is a mistake, for example, a car door not closing, the assembly line can be stopped and the problem can be corrected. This ensures that all the products do not have the same defect. Owing to industry standards, for exports, metrology has become the norm. Most companies will not buy from vendors who do not have an ISO certificate. Furthermore, manufacturing metrology has the prerequisite of quality management & process control and hence is of extreme importance for the economic manufacture of high-quality products. Most Tier I & II companies have not only adopted basic level metrological equipment but can also see the benefits of incorporating metrology equipment in their already existing machines or using automated machinery. The initial cost may be high but the benefits outweigh it. In addition, rising economic demands caused by the global market drive the development of manufacturing metrology. Apart from improving shape and surface finish, metrology also helps improve the entire manufacturing process. Manufacturers can reduce the time taken to design a component/product 58

MMT - April 2013

and minimise waste when building the component/product using metrology and reverse engineering tools. Design engineers can also gather information on the component or on their competitors’ products. Metrology, combined with reverse engineering, helps manufacturers to effectively evaluate competitors’ models to improve their own products in the next design round.

Main Barriers

One of the barriers that stop Tier III companies from adopting high-end metrology equipment is cost. “Because of regulations, all products now have to come with an ISO 9000 certification, and customers need the same validation. Regular audits are a must. Metrology equipment is varied in both price and levels. Tier III companies cannot add this expense directly to the customer as it is not a value addition but a norm. Hence, most Tier III companies will adopt the machines that are the standard norm but not software or automated machines, as being cost-effective is the main criterion,” says Sreenivas Moinikunta, Director, Four M Technologies. India should take example from countries like Taiwan, where the government is fully aware of its manufacturing industry’s needs and encourages trade and knowledge hubs in increasing innovation. Government initiatives could help Tier III companies adopt high-end metrology, which, in

turn, will help these companies increase their market value and place.

Initiatives and Allowances

Moinikunta further says, “Bodies, such as UNIDO, are taking initiatives to help Tier III companies enhance their processes. And these initiatives need to be continued as they help companies reach their potential and increase their market value. However, it would be helpful for Tier III companies if more initiatives like these were taken by the government,” Moinikunta continues.

Overall Outlook

Measurement technology is more often than not seen as an expense factor that has to be minimised to a large extent. However, measurement results have to be accurate or else they do not add any worth in terms of decision-making. With regard to economic optimisation, measurement technology must provide satisfactory information about products or processes. Today, the use of faster and more robust inspection relays into automatic reworking of components without significant time loss. Metrology is here to stay; the only concern is if India will keep trying to catch up in the adoption of other processes or will she finally realise and try to lead the pack. nedra.pereira@network18publishing.com

Special Focus Techno Trends Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) have been adopted by the industry in a big way, but what next? In recent times, there have been many developments in measuring equipment and manufacturers have now come up with portable solutions that can be used for extremely small parts, laser and 3D technology. Nishant Kashyap talks about some of the latest technologies for precision measurement.

Aiding Accuracy,

Adding Value

inimising time and maximising accuracy is the new mantra for survival in the competitive manufacturing arena. Manufacturers are undertaking a complete overhaul of their product lines by introducing lasers, multi-axis probe systems, novel software and automated measurement instruments that are high on performance and have increased accuracy up to micron levels of measurement. SM Sood, Managing Director, Marposs India Pvt Ltd says, “The Indian manufacturing sector seeked to provide a cost advantage proposition to foreign buyers along with fulfilling the growing demand from the domestic market. Inline inspection, feedback control, machine monitoring solutions and incorporating shopfloor metrology solutions are the latest buzzword in the industry.” 60

MMT - April 2013

Flexibility and Accuracy

Reduction of errors and increasing repeatability has been the core focus areas of metrology system manufacturers for better customer satisfaction. These features help them add quality and trust factors to their products. “Incorporting robust contact based gaging to eliminate air based troublesome gagues, optoelectronic gaging to have flexible inspection solutions, New age leakage test solutions for automotive / white goods sector with helium/ liquid tecnologies , Inspection solutions adapted to solar energy fields to improve efficiency of production, tool monitoring solutions for cutting machine tools to have inprocess check are few of the latest development in this field” says Sood.

5-axis CMMs

In addition, shrinking sizes of metrology devices and high-speed measurement

systems can become future trends that may change the technology landscape of the industry. CMMs with 5-axis probe head offer unique ‘head touches’ for rapid continuous scanning & touchtrigger measurement. Fast infinite 5-axis positioning optimises the working volume of CMM and minimises CMM motion, thereby reducing CMM errors. Further, rapid ‘head touches’ mean that the measurement points are taken more quickly by using only the rotary motion of the head. The result is improved accuracy, repeatability and significantly improved inspection throughput, with parts measured up to three times faster than current touch-trigger systems. The freedom of manoeuvrability and state-of-the-art sensor technology in the probe head have ushered the era of measuring surfaces up to micron scale in the shortest time possible. There are also 3D CMMs, which are mainly installed and utilised at fixed locations

Special Focus Techno Trends for high-accuracy measurement. The newly launched portable CMMs are equipped with articulated multiaxis arms, which can be taken to the component for inspection. This saves the effort of taking big and heavy parts to CMM for measurement.

Laser Saves Time

Test and measuring instruments are commonly utilised to convert workpiece dimensions and other geometric values to coordinate values. These are sophisticated calibration instruments that can measure any three-dimensional (3D) surface with high accuracy. Once converted to coordinate values, the measurement data is fed back to machine tools. This field of industrial metrology has undergone a major transformation—from playing a limited role of testing and certification to that of quality control in product & process life cycles in the manufacturing line. The latest technology that has set new benchmarks of performance is the usage of laser probes. Powered by the capability to capture thousands of points in a second, these probes reduce the inspection time significantly. Lasers have now become popular applications in machining needs and have also found their way into the metrology industry, owing to their benefits of precision, speed and noncontact nature.

Portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (PCMM)

Unlike traditional stationary CMMs, portable CMMs allow for the versatile use of a CMM anywhere on the shop floor or industrial site, at any stage of production. A touch probe is mounted on the end of a highly articulated, lightweight arm. It has six degrees of freedom and can be used along with lasers or infrared light to measure objects at distances of a few hundred feet. No calibration or custom fixtures are needed, unlike traditional CMMs. Also, rapid digital data collection is possible using PCMM software and the user can compare dimensional data to a CAD file directly. This does away with the use of 62

MMT - April 2013

hand tools, gauges and single dimension measurement devices. PCMMs are increasingly robust and are only limited by the reach of the articulated arm, although it can be repositioned as required—such is its flexibility. It can also be combined with laser scanning to provide 3D measurements.

The Indian manufacturing sector seeked to provide a cost advantage proposition to foreign buyers along with fulfilling the growing demand from the domestic market. Metro-tomography

This is an application of computer tomography where X-rays are used to scan a rotating part to obtain an accurate 3D model. This 3D model can be converted into various formats, including CAD, for part analysis. This non-destructive measurement of a component allows, in addition to traditional evaluation, for material and assembly inspection as well as porosity, damage and defect analysis. Parts with interiors or very complex parts can be measured completely, quickly and easily. The process is highly automated and requires minimal training. While providing vast amounts of information in a single scan, it allows for reverse engineering applications, geometry comparisons and process optimisation.

Multi-sensor Measuring

Multi-sensor machining involves the use of more than one sensor in one machine that is automated and uses software to manage the sensors. It can involve the use of chromatic point

sensors, confocal microscopes, white light interferometers, film thickness sensors and atomic force microscopes. In addition, vision sensors, touchtrigger probes, analog scanners and laser sensors can all be used on a common platform using a single software package. In some cases, over 20,000 data points can be gathered per second. If there is a conflict between sensors, for example, a trade-off in accuracy and speed between laser and analog scanning, multi-sensor machines can be programmed to switch automatically to optimise the measurement, thus minimising the cost per measurement. They also save time by combining measurement processes, such as video metrology with a touch probe, thus eliminating the need for repeated calibration and reducing the need for multiple measurement fixtures. With improved integration of sensors, between themselves and with CAD models, multisensor measuring machines are the way to go in the future, as they increase choice and potential in productivity and inspection quality.

SMEs Take

Indian SMEs are undergoing rapid changes, and automated highend technology is the need of the hour. Since SMEs play a big role in development of the Indian manufacturing industry, they have to be updated with the latest technology. Sensing the demand for high-end technology, these companies are also gearing up to asopt them. Talking about the adoption of the latest technologies, Sood says, “SMEs are now more receptive to invest in quality. However, it is more of a demand from OEMs rather than a shift to improve quality.” As the industry is growing rapidly in India, these technologies will find their market in companies, irrespective of their size. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

Facility Visit Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd

A Temple of Technology From starting a small job shop in 1989 to winning an ‘Outstanding Entrepreneurship’ award in 2013, Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd has grown rapidly and resonates the capability of Indian machine tool industry. Nishant Kashyap, in a visit to India’s biggest machine tool production facility, learns about the company’s capability, shop floor strategies, R&D and design activities.

ince its inception, Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd has never looked back. From being a small company in Rajkot to becoming a globally recognised company, Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd has now become one of the few companies that export a considerable number of its machines. The company’s expanding footprint ensures its global presence with export operations in Europe, Middle East and some of the Asian countries.

Success Story

The company was founded by a young visionary, Mr. Parakramsinh Jadeja, who is now the Managing Director of Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd. Earlier, he used to do some small jobs for machine tool builders within Rajkot. Back then, Rajkot was traditionally a conventional machine tool hub, and Jadeja used to supply components to lathe manufacturers in the city. Recalling his early days, Jadeja says, “The company 66

MMT - April 2013

started somewhere in 1989 with a small job shop with the help of the Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Yojana (PMRY) scheme. With this scheme, I got a `33,000 loan and started my career. At that time, we were involved in machining activities for machine tool companies in Rajkot. I used to do part machining for all these companies and gradually, we started manufacturing components and sub assemblies. In a few years, we started selling components to machine tool companies in Rajkot, and after making a mark in the Rajkot industry, we received contracts from Kirloskar, HMT, etc.” After receiving a good response from the industry, the company started manufacturing lathe machines. “In 1993, I would say our first phase started with the manufacturing of conventional lathe machines (all geared lathe machines). We started manufacturing geared lathe machines and special purpose machines such as the Hydro copying machine at a time when all manufacturers in Rajkot were building bill-driven machines. The

period between 1993–98 was a learning period for us,” says Jadeja. In 1998, after participating at IMTEX, the company realised that automation is the future and developed its first CNC machine. Jadeja continues, “The day we built our first CNC machine, we became a CNC manufacturing company. At that time, Kirloskar and HMT, the two big players in India, were making high-quality lathe. For example, the machines made by these companies were much expensive than machines manufactured in Rajkot. This was a big opportunity to make a highquality machine as the gap was huge.” Since 2003, the company has grown rapidly and has become on of the biggest machine tool manufacturers in India. “I like challenges and even back then, there were some critical components that were not manufactured here. We tried making them and successfully achieved it,” Jadeja says.

Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd programmes. “We have a big team of technically qualified young technocrats. Till we started manufacturing CNC, we did not have any engineers working with us. But today, we have more than qualified engineers working across various department of company,” says Jadeja.

Huron Acquisition

The Facility

Driven by the vision to build the company as a ‘Temple Of Technology’ through teamwork, the organisation has grown manifold from manufacturing gearboxes for machines to developing precision all-geared head lathe machines and sophisticated CNC machines. Arun Nene, Manager - Customer Care, Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd, says, “The facility features sophisticated design, manufacturing, foundry, skilled employees and assembly capabilities to meet the needs of today’s industries.” The company has a team of Design Engineers who are dedicated to continually re-engineer machines that provide high speed and high accuracy and are compatible to facilitate a wide range of application requirements. The company also has a high-quality R&D centre, which is named after the legendary Leonardo Da Vinci. Not many machine tool builders have their own foundry division, but Jyoti understood that raw material for machines is an important factor in improving a machine’s life, so the company decided to have its own captive foundry. “Our foundry division is one of the best and comprises high-

end machines, induction furnace, fully mechanised felting division, latest chemical and physical testing facility, etc. Foundry is totally mechanised with the production of 1,000 tonnes per month,” says Nene. In addition, the sheet metal shop of Jyoti is equipped with precise and versatile machinery producing precision sheet metal components. The division is set up with high-quality machines for

During the year 2003–04, the company set an aim of becoming the biggest machine tool company in India by the year 2010 and expanding its business to the global market. Talking about the Huron acquisition, Jadeja says, “Based on our vision of 2010, we made some more benchmarks such as exporting, achieving global presence, upgrading the technology level, etc. Based on this vision, we thought of buying a company in Europe and luckily, we found a good opportunity in 2007 and we bought Huron. We bought this company mainly owing to technology requirements, as it was an experienced and techno savvy company. Apart from this, we were looking for a footprint in the global market, mainly in manufacturing hubs like Europe. Keeping all this in mind, the acquisition of Huron was the best deal for us.” Before acquiring Huron, Jyoti’s exports were negligible and today, the company is having considerable revenue from exports

To deal with this, the company has proper strategies in place. “If we say ‘One Stop Solution’ on metal cutting, we will have a complete product line on metal cutting for the entire industry spectrum. So, we have multiple products and our product basket is much larger than that of our competitor,” says Jadeja. In this competitive world, where there is competition from every corner, Jyoti CNC has identified product lines from entry-level machines with domestic players and high-end products, which are mostly imported. Talking about the growing local and global competition, Jadeja continues, “Whatever we are importing is based on automation and our Huron team is developing more products in this area to tap the market. As our slogan says, we are a ‘One Stop Solution’ for the metal cutting industry and have a product range

EFFICIENCY! As the new financial year begins, the one thing we can count on are the increasing prices of fuel. Gone are the days when petrol and diesel were affordable. However, with advances in technology, perhaps we are not doomed. It is possible that in the next 15 years, automobiles will give an average of 21 km per litre of fuel (conventional or otherwise). Nedra Pereira looks at a few ongoing innovations that are making automobiles a little less bulky and a little more lighter.

aking it to that mark will not be an easy task—in terms of money or technique. Fortunately, the engineers and scientists working at this task have a few ideas that are taking shape. The biggest means to making a vehicle lighter is by reducing its mass. A discipline that looks at this aspect is known as automotive lightweighting. Lightweighting looks for ways to cut off kilos from the overall weight of a vehicle by using techniques involving advanced materials and inventive production systems. The relation between the weight of a vehicle and fuel consumption is that for every 10% of weight reduction, a decrease 70

MMT - April 2013

of between 6% and 7% in fuel consumption is observed. Hence, even small weight savings can add up to major amounts. Although drive concepts for electric mobility are gaining ground in the design of new vehicles, the combustion engine is not going anywhere for at least the next 15 years. In fact, forecasts predict that the traditional combustion engine will still account for 50% of the industry’s sales, and only 10% of the new vehicles sold will be electricpowered automobiles and 40% will be hybrid vehicles. These shifts will modify the automobile sector’s current value chain for everyone including OEMs, suppliers, power utilities and thirdparty providers.

Motors in the Wheel Hub

The heaviest parts in a vehicle are undoubtedly those that comprise the engine. The engine bay comprises components such as engine blocks, pistons, and crankshafts, and most of these accessories are made of highstrength, heat-resistant metals. The trade-off for this durability is that traditional engines are tremendously heavy. Apart from the engine, parts like wheels and drive axles add to the weight and inefficiency. To overcome this, Michelin, the tyre company, and Venturi, a car company, directly placed electric motors at the hub of each wheel, thereby eliminating the need for many bulky and maintenance-prone parts on a conventional car. Furthermore, a powerful electric braking system and

Changing Techno Gears active suspension was incorporated inside the wheel hub.

Hybrid and Different Types of Material

Aluminium is the most conventional metal that is thought to replace steel in the manufacture of vehicles. However, aluminium is about 35% more expensive and may not be as durable as its counterpart. The industry has since then experimented and achieved new advanced high-strength steels that can actually provide up to 35% savings in weight. In addition, making these steels do not add much of an extra cost because it simply requires changing the cooling rates on existing process lines. Apart from these, various other breakthroughs have occurred in the field of introducing new metals to manufacture auto components. For instance, the use of magnesium sheets in the production of components by heating the sheets and forming them into precise, rigid shapes. Magnesium is 75% lighter than steel and 33% lighter than aluminium. Plastics are materials with immense potential and are currently playing a supporting role in the trend towards lightweight automotive engineering. But plastics not only offer the benefit of weight reduction, they also lead to entirely new construction and design possibilities. The introduction of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) for applications such as windshields, under-hood, trim, knobs, consoles and panels has reduced the overall weight of vehicles. Furthermore, they are used for front and rear bumpers, side skirts & mirror

housings and interior parts. For more serious weight reduction, removing glass windows and replacing them with perspex will save a large portion of weight. Carbon fibre, usually found to be used in the aerospace industry and auto-racing to make vehicles lighter

Hence, even small weight savings can add up to major amounts. on the track, has finally found its use in the automotive sector. In short, carbon fibre consists of strands of carbon atoms formed into fibres that are then woven into an easy-to-mould sheet. These sheets are then soaked in a special resin, applied to a mould or cast and then allowed to cure. The result is a product as strong as steel but at half the weight. It is also 30% lighter than aluminium. Its mechanism

is similar to that of fibreglass, but is much stronger.

Electric as Opposed to Lead

Is it possible to run a car without the lead acid batteries that are conventionally used? Lead-based batteries were the only choice for electric cars, up until a few years ago. This was primarily because of its availabilityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it was the only choice till one day, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries came into the market. These were lighter and still capable of packing a powerful charge, and were used in hybrid vehicles. These, of course, are alternatives but do not carry as much power as the weight of fossil fuels. Since then, lithium ion batteries have entered the market and have a higher energy density than lead acid or nickel metal hydride. These have been used to power cordless power tools and laptop computers, and are also known for exploding when they get too hot. These incidents are rare, and the consequences are catastrophic. However, companies like Tesla thought it fit to put them into its fast, sleek Roadster electric sports car, which, by all accounts, checked every tick in the box, delivered what it promised and more. Advances are being made by researchers to make lithium ion batteries more stable (by using nickel rather than cobalt, along with the principal element lithium). This and other advancements make it appear that lightweight lithium will play a major role in helping autos shed the weight in future. nedra.pereira@network18publishing.com

Conclusion

Reducing the weight of a vehicle not only increases fuel efficiency but also reduces carbon emissions into the atmosphere, thereby reducing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon footprint. Trying to reduce a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight has actually been in progress for a number of decades. The average sedan today weighs 1,361 kilograms, as compared to 2,041 kilograms it did 30 years ago. This is despite the steady growth in advanced features such as safety and creature comforts that have now made our vehicles like rolling homes and offices over the years. Continuing to make vehicles lighter depends on taking smart approaches to making their component parts lighter. With the advances in technology, new materials and advanced unconventional fuels, this trend will continue to grow.

Wanted: A More Stable Hub!

India has a vast manufacturing sector—covering everything from textile to medicine to standard machine tool components. Yet, in today’s world, India is not known for its bulk manufacturing capabilities. The industry is growing but at what pace? Nedra Pereira takes a bird’s eye view on the current scenario.

ndia is on its way to becoming the next manufacturing hub by 2020. The industry is at par, if not better, with the global quality parameters of components produced. In addition, India is also among the top 10 industrial nations of the world with a 1.5% share in Manufacturing Value Added (MVA), according to a report by United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO). During the recent recession, the economy of industrialised nations such as the US, Japan, Germany and the UK fell sharply, while that of developing countries such as China, India and Brazil has increased. However, despite India’s dramatic growth of industrial manufacturing making a considerable impact in its share of globally manufactured goods, the truth of the matter is that India is still lagging considerably when it comes to bulk manufacturing in comparison to countries such as China. China is one of the most competitive countries in the world and ranks second after the US. China has bagged the tag of being the world’s manufacturing hub after several painstaking efforts. It is certain that a tactical approach was used, which has hastened their growth in manufacturing components in bulk. Nevertheless, lessons can be learnt from this country. From India’s past, it has been well 72

evidenced that we do not have the necessary knowledge base or economic planning policies, and moreover, we practise laws that somehow feel like they were meant for the 18th century. Adding to this are the poor infrastructure facilities, disputes on land acquisition, etc. among other hurdles in the growth of the manufacturing industry.

Steps Needed to be Taken

The Indian manufacturing industry needs to up its game. For starters, Special Economic Zones (SEZs) need to be established throughout the country in order to help the industry take up pilot projects. Land is a necessity for industrial development; and this will be the grounds for enhanced infrastructure. India needs a complete makeover to be able to even compete with China’s growth. There are factors that make this difficult. For instance, the systems of governance vary in two countries. India is a democracy while China is not. And in some ways, it can be debated if politics is furthering or creating hurdles in the manufacturing industry. Some are of the opinion that India can never become a bulk manufacturing hub. There are too many things going against this country’s manufacturing industry. For instance, the incorporation of global norms that are only trends in India—the

biggest being automation. Countries like China mass produce because they use the best in technology and automation, whereas in India, SMEs are now looking to adopt basic automation. However, India does have some points in her favour. For example, a cheaper and younger workforce— average age being 25 years as compared to the average age being 35 years for the Chinese population. But, one must bear in mind that approximately 75% of India’s working population is educated till middle school or less. Hence, knowledge centres need to be established that will help the unemployed and lesser educated population gain vocational education.

Role of the Government

The government can do much more and should bear in mind that the manufacturing sector will only help enhance the economic growth. India does not lack manpower or highly skilled labour, but this factor needs to be taken advantage of. Our biggest industry, the automotive sector, already makes standard components with high precision and quality. It is only a matter of time— with moving in the right direction— b e f o r e all other industries will also follow suit. nedra.pereira@network18publishing.com

The competitive edge held by the international market is owing to its access to highquality machines. Nishant Kashyap talks about worldclass technologies, which are currently being used across the globe, and the ways in which the cost of manufacturing and can be brought down, thus bringing about improvements in quality.

Insights & Outlook Technology Gap

Gearing up to Develop...

he global automotive industry is subject to a range of factors that are increasingly complex and influence the economic options available to automobile manufacturers. Most of these factors interact with one another and have strong interdependencies. However, some of these factors are market-induced and, consequently, cannot be influenced directly by automobile manufacturers.

Technological Advancements

Constant development in machining technologies has virtually transformed the automotive manufacturing concepts in the global market. Enhanced productivity, world-class quality and superior finish can be achieved through improved machining, alternative processes, state-of-the-art automation, tooling equipment and increased use of robots, robotics systems & controls. Automobile component manufacturers need to consistently deliver quality products at a limited cost and within a stipulated time. With the help of high-speed machining and sophisticated software, manufacturers are now able to machine complex shapes within the 74

MMT - April 2013

above parameters. Consumers worldwide are blessed with more variety of choice than ever before, thus pressurising automobile manufacturers to deliver quality products as efficiently as possible. The recent trend in automation is the use of auto work loading & unloading arrangement, use of robotic systems and advanced electronic software to minimise non-productive time. It includes the development of dedicated special purpose machines with advanced tooled-up technology, use of appropriate cutting tools with tool monitoring device and use of carbide cutting tools for machining on hardened components. Employment of such cutting tools with tin or Titanium/Cubic Boron Nitrate (CBN) coating enhances tool life. According to Vinit Patel, Director, Vinit Engimech Pvt Ltd, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the current scenario, the increased use of robots has reduced human errors and has provided the required speed. The advancements made in welding by robots have brought about improvements in the manufacturing of automotive machinery. Though considerable investment is required for installing machinery for laser welding, the efficiency and quality of products account for the

money spent. Automation is allowing companies to expand with new designs and technologies and will continue to do so with new developments.â&#x20AC;?

Sheet-metal Technology

The development of new machines and applications is critical for the growth of any industry. Various advancements are taking place in the sheet-metal working sector, be it in cutting, bending, punching or forming; this technology is one of the most critical components for automobile manufacturing. Many new materials are being used to manufacture lightweight automobiles, which, in turn, increases the demand for sheetmetal machining technology. With the automobile industry increasingly emphasising on both quality and quantity, companies are bound to shift from conventional systems to automated ones. However, those in the traditional fabrication domain are still using conventional machines. These days, roll forming has become a key technology. Out of the many sheet-metal cold forming methods, roll forming has been most successful in generating significant interest in the Indian sheet-metal industry. High volume production, consistent

Technology Gap product quality, less material handling and minimum labour utilisation are some advantages of the cold roll forming process. Longitudinal welded tubes made of cold roll forming process already exist in India. Stainless steel materials up to thicknesses of 12 mm are now being roll formed as well. However, as compared to the large variety of products that are being roll formed worldwide, roll forming is still an unexplored opportunity in India. For instance, although Indian railways has realised the advantages of the roll forming process, it has redesigned only few structural members of wagons.

Die & Mould

To meet the challenges of railway industry, a host of new technologies have evolved over the years. Apart from the conventional technologies, such as die sinking & wire EDMs, new generation manufacturing extensively utilises hard machining and complex profiling on multi-axis machining centres to completely finish the dies & moulds with little need for manual finishing & correction. Supporting these machining methods are new developments in design analysis, inspection techniques and complex programming systems. Railway is one of the biggest caterers to the die and mould industry. Besides, demand from sectors such as aerospace, computer hardware and telecom industries is rapidly increasing. This is a challenge as well as an opportunity for die & mould manufacturers to deliver high-quality products at low costs in the future.

Multi-axis Machining

The technology and equipment for performing multi-axis machining has been around for long. The methods used to achieve simultaneous 5-axis machining in industries such as aerospace, automobile, energy, medical and mould-making are similar, yet each industry has specific applications and needs to determine how a given manufacturer gets the job done. Multi-axis machines are gaining prominence with each passing day, as it saves time.

Here Onwardsâ&#x20AC;Ś

Many technologies such as industrial robots, multi-axis machining, latest softwares, etc are gaining foothold in the Indian market. With the ever increasing customer demand for low cost and high efficiency, automobile manufacturers are in constant pressure to reduce the cost of manufacturing without compromising on the quality. To achieve this, they need to invest in the latest technology that can boost the product speed, reduce the wastage and cut down the error factor substantially. Currently, many automobile manufacturers in India are already using these technologies and many are gradually adopting it. Going forward, manufacturers of these technologies will find their space in the Indian market. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

Insights & Outlook Piston Machining The manufacturing process of pistons has changed considerably since the inception of the internal combustion motor. Modern piston manufacturing is fully automated with little or no human intervention. Nishant Kashyap looks into some of the latest developments and materials being used for manufacturing pistons.

A Critical Form of Engineering

he need for highp e r f o r m a n c e pistons, along with the advancements in manufacturing technology, is always in focus. Engineers around the world are continuously working to improve the performance of pistons by implementing new technologies and materials.

Critical Engineering

Piston design is a challenging engineering task that involves complex physics and requires multiple performance objectives. Uncertainty in piston operating conditions and variability in piston design variables are inevitable and must be accounted for. It can cause a major source of engine mechanical friction and cold start noise, if not designed properly. Being the backbone of any automobile, designing and producing pistons has become extremely critical as they directly affect the performance of any automobile. Aluminum pistons are subject to enormous physical stresses, yet must maintain their structural integrity for thousands of cycles. Advancements in high-strength aluminum permit parts that have greater strength, durability and tolerance to high heat conditions. This, coupled with more sophisticated forging techniques, has allowed engineers much more flexibility in piston design.

Material Matters

Since a piston is a key component situated 76

MMT - April 2013

in the heat area, the material used for manufacturing it becomes very important. The material should maintain its strength at high temperatures and resist corrosion. Pistons for medium-speed trunk piston engines, which burn residual fuel, are composite pistons, i.e. the crown and the skirt are made of different materials. The crown is made out of heat resisting steel forging, which may be alloyed with chromium, molybdenum and nickel to sustain at high temperatures and prevent from corrosion. The topland (the space between the top ring and the top of the piston) may be tapered to allow for expansion being greater where the piston is hottest. Aluminium has been extensively used for manufacturing pistons and skirts. The skirt can be made using a nodular cast iron, forged or cast silicon aluminium alloy. Aluminium provides various advantages low inertia, but because aluminium has a higher coefficient of expansion than steel, increased clearances must be allowed for during manufacture. This means that the piston skirt clearance in the liner is greater than that for cast iron when running at low loads. The skirt transmits the side thrust, caused by the varying angularity of the con rod, to the liner. Too big a clearance will cause the piston to tilt. Cast iron is also one of the most important materials used in making piston rings. One reason for this popularity is that cast iron contains graphite in the lamellar form, which acts as a lubricant in the dry state and helps

during the sliding motion of the piston rings. The hardness of piston rings made out of cast iron lies in the region of 160â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 190 Brinnel, and these rings are made out of either drum casting in a static sand mould or centrifugal casting. Other materials alloyed with cast iron include nickel, copper, vanadium and titanium.

High-end Technologies

To machine piston, high-end machine technology has been used. Right from designing forging to machining process to finishing activities, sophisticated technologies have been used. Highspeed CNC machining allowed piston manufacturers to increase the prototyping and production cycles of pistons, and 3D modeling software greatly increased design time. Nowadays, forging is designed using an advanced 3D modeling software package supported by the Finite Element Analysis (FEM) entity. 3D modeling enables analysing thicknesses and weights before manufacturing, which allows manufacturers to produce stronger and lighter parts. After designing, there are many machining technologies being usedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;cutters and unconventional fixtures, 5-axis machining, etc. Techniques such as 5-axis machining enable manufacturers to create high-quality pistons. Many automated grinding and finishing technologies are also used for finishing operations. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

Insights & Outlook Second-Hand Machines

A ‘Threat’

‘Treat’?

India has always been a cost-sensitive nation. However, is this attitude of Indian auto component manufacturers making them compromise on machines as well? Debarati Basu Das finds out how the industry is tackling the threats of second-hand machines in manufacturing quality.

he used machinery industry is one of the thriving segments in the Indian market because of the huge number of SMEs and MSMEs who depend on low-cost solutions. Over the years, with the increased amount of offloading manufacturing work to Tier III, the quality of production has become an integral part of the entire manufacturing gamut for SMEs as well. On the other hand, the rising cost of manufacturing does not just pinch the smaller player. Many big players also put their trust in used machines. “SMEs or SSIs are more eager to buy used machines because of the cost factor. However, many bigger companies buy or import used machines. In some big companies, half of the shop floor is occupied by used imported machines,” says Manoj Kumar, Director, Apex Auctions Pvt Ltd. So much is the demand for used machines that many large machine tool companies buy their own discarded machines back and sell it to prospective customers looking for second-hand machines. In such a situation, does the purchase of second-hand machines play a role in the tug of war between quality and price? 78

MMT - April 2013

The Dilemma

Quality, Cost, Value … these are the three things a machine tool manufacturer always has to keep in mind. Kumar adds, “Indian secondary machinery market is as huge as about `2500 crore.” Hence, the need and demand for the used machines cannot be neglected. But is the quality of these machines monitored? “Quality of machines more or less remains the same as long as it is well maintained. It might differ by 10–15%, without an overhaul. With complete overhaul the machine will perform as good as new. However with age, a machine moves from Tier I to Tier II to Tier III. Also, a machine which was initially used to make aerospace component, can be used to make custom auto parts when the accuracy tapers downs. And with further decline in quality, the same machine might be fit for manufacturing bicycle parts. At the end of its life, it is broken down and enters the furnace to take birth as a new machine again!” says Kumar.

Striking a Balance

Catering to the needs of cost-sensitive countries, most manufacturers today are tailoring their machines and technologies to the needs of customers by providing them with lower prices as well as quality.

However, given the common psyche, second-hand machines have always had a queer attraction. Understanding this phenomenon, large global machine tool conglomerates have been encouraging this trend with a twist to create a win-win situation. “The market of second-hand machines is huge. Hence, we keep a track of our DMG machines and once the customer plans to sell that machine, we buy it back and sell it to other customers looking for second-hand machines. This way, this client will have a trusted brand in his shop floor and also have the benefit of proper servicing of the machine,” explains Dr Jens Hardenacke, CEO - DMG Asia, DMG/Mori Seiki. Kumar feels that this is a positive trend that every Indian company should adopt. One of the reasons that Maruti Suzuki sells most numbers is that its cars have an established and strong secondary market, with True Value sale outlets for used cars. The machine tool industry will soon mature to that stage in India too.” All these attempts will only change the perception towards used machines and take them to a new level of trustworthiness, ensuring good quality machines in the market. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Policy Watch Auto Impact

Zooming Past the Roadblocks to Growth The Indian automobile sector has been a driving force for the Indian economy. Over the last decade, it has been one of the fastest growing industrial sectors. However, with the recent downturn of this sector, the industry was hoping to receive some good news from the Union Budget 2013. Did the industry get what it wanted or lost more than expected? Debarati Basu Das finds out.

he Indian automotive industry is one of the fastest growing industries. Right from the two- and threewheeler segment to passenger car markets, this industry has witnessed phenomenal growth. However, with the global economic sluggishness, the Indian automotive industry too is engulfed in the dark clouds of increasing fuel prices, high interest rates, high input costs, persistent inflation and weak market sentiment. This has resulted in declining growth rates. Car sales dropped by 25.7% in Februaryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the biggest fall in more than 12 years and the fourth consecutive monthly slide. As per various industry analyses, the overall growth in the domestic auto sales in April 2012â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 2013 was 4.66% as compared to 12.24% in 2011â&#x20AC;&#x201C;12. Although the 80

MMT - April 2013

industry had high hopes of making a comeback with Budget 2013, it was instead left rather disappointed. One of the biggest expectations of the ailing automotive industry from the Budget was the reduction of excise duty rates. Manufacturers were hoping for a reduction in excise duty from the current 12% to 10% for small cars and commercial vehicles and from 25% and 27% to 22% for large cars and utility vehicles. However, the industry was greeted with an increase in the excise duty on SUVs exceeding engine capacity of 1500 cc from 27% to 30%.

The Verdict

The justification for the rise in the excise duty of SUVs was that these luxury goods have limited consumption by individuals in the high income group. However, SUVs is a way of introducing high-end products with better technology and safety features to the emerging market.

In a country that has a taste for highend automobiles, this market has the potential to reach a level where volumes can justify domestic production rather than imports. SUVs manufactured by major Indian automotive giants, have not just been well received by the market but have also proved to be at par with global SUV manufacturers. The Budget however has glimpses of positivity for various automotive sectors. It includes 15% investment allowance for new investments in plant and machinery exceeding `100 crore. The reduction in excise duty for truck chassis from 14% to 13% provides relief to the transport vehicle segment. However, the fact remains that while the standard rates of basic customs at 10% and excise & service tax at 12% are retained, the auto sector continues to have duty rates ranging at 13%, 27% and 30% for excise and 10%, 30% and 100% for basic customs. Additionally,

Auto Impact the proposal to increase the basic customs duty on luxury cars from 75% to 100% and on motorcycles with engine capacity of 800 cc or more from 60% to 75% is another downturn. All these numbers are forcing the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) to revise its growth predictions for this year.

The Need

Even as the Union Budget did not address the prime demand of reduction in excise duty rates, there are other issues directly affecting the automotive industry’s growth.  Infrastructure: Availability of infrastructure is the key to adorn foreign investments. Over the years, infrastructural development has not been in sync with the growth of the auto sector. However, the Union Budget has given adequate importance to this sector. The Chennai - Bengaluru Industrial Corridor, which is to be developed jointly by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), will play an important role in terms of logistics infrastructure for companies in that region.  Making auto industry investment friendly: India has been a lowcost manufacturing hub for long and has reigned in the segment of manufacturing small cars. However, with increasing attention from global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), India today is one of the most preferred manufacturing bases after China. With the available talent pool and skilled resources, India has an opportunity to project itself as a primary contender. This growth should be enhanced by creating manufacturing hubs, simplistic clearances, etc. high-end  E n c o u r a g i n g manufacturing: Being one of the primary sectors of Indian economy, the industry has to meet the increasing demand from

of `14,873 crore in Budget estimates for JNNURM for 2013–14 will provide a boost to commercial vehicle in the passenger carrier segment

 Focus on infrastructure projects

 Period

 A 27 to 30% increase in excise

 Investment

allowance at the rate of 15% to manufacturing companies that invest more than `100 crore in plants and machinery will provide a boost to investment

the market— both domestic and global. With this, the crucial area of consideration needs to be the upgrade in technology. The industry needs a dynamic intervention to enhance the technological knowhow in every quarter of this segment.  Impetus while on a downturn: The auto industry has been most fickle in its sales statistics over the last couple of months. Between April 2012 and January 2013, commercial vehicles sales fell by 0.37%. Given the rise in fuel prices, the festive seasons also did not prove to have any momentary relief for the industry. The industry expects the government to come up with various schemes like granting an accelerated tax depreciation, which will boost sales.

Looking Ahead

Even though the Budget was a mixed bag of disappointments and surprises, the industry has a difficult path to traverse with roadblocks such as excise duties, petrol hikes and growing global competition. The industry needs to work in unison to overcome these problems. Vijay Kakade, Director, Automotive & Transportation Practice, Frost & Sullivan As against the major expectation of lowering excise duty, there is no change in the excise duty for most vehicles except SUVs. This would moderate the growth of the SUV segment, which grew almost over 65 % in 2012–13. The growth in the SUV and MPV segments helped the automotive industry to grow by 6%. No increase in excise duty on diesel passenger vehicles is a positive sign, which could, along with the rise in diesel price, have been detrimental to the already ailing industry.

Surinder Kanwar, President, Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) The pragmatic budget had adequate focus on development of the social sector as well as the industry and welcomes the focus on measures to encourage MSMEs. The enhanced allocation of over `14,000 crore for buses under the JNNURM will also give a boost to this segment. The enhancement of excise duty from 27% to 30% on SUVs, which has been one of the fastest growing segments in the vehicle industry, would adversely impact the industry sentiment. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Forgotten, But Not Shattered

Even as the machine tool industry is known as the backbone of the Indian economy, it found itself left out of all the anxiety of the Union Budget this year. Did the FM overlook the needs of this segment or is the requirement of this industry too large to be encompassed in the budgets? Debarati Basu Das finds out if the budget was any good for the industry.

he machine tool industry has not been in its glorious days lately. With volatile market situations, both global and domestic, the machine tool industry has been cautiously passive in its approach. With major dependence on the growth of user industries, the machine tool industry has been stumped over the last couple of months with the sluggish growth of the automotive industry. One of the major concerns of the industry by far is the dwindling business growth of user industries, which has restricted new orders and deferred the deliveries of machine tools manufactured for them. As per reports, there has been a marginal deceleration in demand for 82

MMT - April 2013

metalworking machine tools with an approximate 10% fall in consumption during April–September, 2012, due to sluggish demand in the automotive industry, which consumes about 40% of the machine tools in India. Furthermore, amidst rapid advancements, the manufacturing industry in India has been battling its vices of inadequate technology advancements, product gaps, heavy dependence on imports for critical components, shortage of specialised machining capacity and lack of skilled manpower. Although the industry did not expect much from the budget, the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) was expecting a few areas of development including a provision of low interest capital for the machine tool industry for capacity

enhancement. While not much was answered, this industry was certainly spared of unwanted surprises as well.

Fiscal Matters

Amidst debates on whether the Finance Minister rolled out a cautious budget or made a courageous move, most people agree that it was more of a realistic budget that anything else. Industries across all sectors agree that budget might be successful in tackling its primary concern of checking on the alarmingly high fiscal deficit. While the deficit touched 5.2% of the GDP this year, the government is trying to achieve 4.8% of the GDP in 2013–14. Numbers are all that the country has been hovering around. The budget sets great expectations to achieving a growth of 6.1 to 6.7%, which, for many, is

Machine Tool Aspirations

April 2013 - MMT

Policy Watch Machine Tool Aspirations almost unattainable. The second most important area of attention for the country is to facilitate measures to incentivise growth across all industries and bring back investments in the country. Many measures have been taken in various upcoming sectors, which shows great potential of growth. Industries like infrastructure, defence, etc. have been given a special boost in the budget to culminate optimal growth in every form. The third most important factor addressed is to make the country ready for the anticipated growth. The budget proposal to give `10,000 to every person availing a certain standard of job readiness through governmentregistered entities is being lauded as a visionary decision. Our country, which is held in high esteem by foreign countries for its rock solid education system and young population, in reality, ails from the lack of skilled manpower. This has been an issue of major concern for a long time and the country now aims to make 150 million Indian youth job-ready in various sectors by 2022.

The Key to Positivity

How does it matter if machine tool manufacturers of this particular industry were not even spelt out in the budget? One has to agree that the machine tool industry forms the base for the development of any industry. The repercussions, positives or negatives in any user industry are certainly felt by this industry at every quarter. Hence, while this budget has a large amount of concentration on various other sectors like textile, infrastructure, defence, etc., the machine and tool industry is expecting to have a small piece of the pie in the coming future. Here is a look at all the areas that can possibly benefit the growth of machine tools: = Defence allocation hiked by 4.5% to `2.03 lakh crore opens up the doors for increasing the investments in this area. While the Defence Ministry is extending a warm welcome to private 84

manufacturing players, machine tool industries will certainly reap the benefits of increased outsourcing. = Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has been asked to simplify procedures for foreign portfolio investors, which acts as an advantage to attracting foreign investors shying away from India because of complex rules and regulations. = Two new ports will be set up in West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, adding 100 million tonnes handling capacity. Building the infrastructure will certainly aid certain segments of the machine tool industry. = While infrastructure is the next buzz word for the industry’s growth, taxfree infrastructure bonds of `50,000 crore and infrastructure debt funds to be encouraged. It will help increase investments in this area. = The Textile Ministry has been allocated `50 crore for establishing apparel parks. Hence, textile machinery will see a possible growth. = A large number of road projects have been sanctioned. Lack of proper road facilities and connectivity are some of the reasons that deterred foreign investors to take interest. This initiative will certainly boost their confidence. = Incentive allowance of 15% over and above the permitted depreciation to those investing over `100 crore in infrastructure projects will help boost the confidence of investors. = The re-financing capacity of SIDBI, which has been increased to `10,000 crore from `5,000 crore for Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, is a welcomed initiative for SMEs and MSMEs. While India has been facing strong competition from developing countries like Indonesia, Taiwan, Singapore, etc., the Indian government is confident that India will be able to face the competition and this is something the machine tool industry can cheer about. debarati.basu@network18publishing.com

Vikram Sirur, President, IMTMA

The budget did not specifically address to the needs of the machine tool industry but the government has been sympathetic towards our representations. The one positive thing for the machine tool industry in this budget is that `70 crore has been sanctioned towards the technology development fund. This is for the capital goods industry in general, but our industry also stands a good chance of getting a share to start our technology development activities.

L Krishnan, Managing Director, TaeguTec & Vice President, IMTMA The budget proposals have been kept broad in nature to revive the economy and bring the fiscal deficit under control. It does not have any specific agenda for the machine tool industry. However, if the fiscal deficit comes under control and the investment cycle starts again, this industry will automatically get the benefit. But it would take another 3 to 6 months before the new cycle kickstarts and so we are not expecting any immediate outcome of the budget. Also, the budget is a big ticket item and machine tool is still a small industry to really figure in it.

TK Ramesh, CEO, Micromatic Machine Tools Pvt Ltd The budget did not have anything directly for the machine tool industry, which in a way is a good thing rather than having unannounced surprises affecting the growth of the industry further. However, various other initiatives in the infrastructure segment will surely be an advantage.

There are many initiatives, schemes and facilities that are available to propel the growth of Indian SMEs. Sensing the demand in SMEs, many private companies, along with the government, are offering fruitful schemes that can help these companies grow. Nishant Kashyap discusses some of the initiatives that are available in the market and can be utilised by these companies for better visibility in the market.

Strategy Initiatives & Activities

Empowering SMEs

he countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial growth is shouldered by small-scale industries, companies that have the potential but not the finance to advertise their abilities and companies that are still trapped in their own ghetto and are yet to explore the outside world.

Government Initiatives

It is very important for SMEs to optimise governmental policies and initiatives that support their vision and mission. While the Government of India has consistently acknowledged the fact the micro, small and medium businesses are the prime contributors to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth, these companies are still not aware and are not able to keep track and avail of government initiatives. The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises is implementing promotional schemes for the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The schemes and programmes generally focus on capacity building in states and regions; nevertheless, there are a

few schemes and programmes that are individual beneficiaryoriented. There are certain schemes that the National Small Industries Corporation carries forward to assist small enterprises with a set of specially tailored schemes designed to put them in a competitive and advantageous position. The schemes comprise bank credit facilitation, export credit insurance, SME credit rating, bill discounting schemes, government stores purchase programmes, infomediary services, facilitating marketing support, technology support and other support services.

Helping Associations

There are many SME promoting associations that help companies in integration, capacity building, networking and connectivity, strategic partnership, training and education, entrepreneurship development and empowerment of youth by various initiatives & activities. These associations help them grow in every aspect, be it technological or managerial. The SME Export Promotion Council assists SMEs

to initiate and enhance export business activities, establish contacts in various countries, understand the potential of their products and services as well as utilise the support services and financial assistance available to SMEs for their better growth. Many associations such as IMTMA, UNIDO, EEPC, TAGMA, Rajkot Machine Tools Manufacturers Association and Ambattur Industrial Estate Manufacturers Association (AIEMA) play a big role in the growth of the Indian machine tool industry. These associations help companies in all aspects of manufacturing. They also organise exhibitions that help companies in interacting with their global counterparts and learn about their technologies and demands. IMTMA conducts various productivity summits every month on topics that help engineers from various companies to understand the latest happenings April 2013 - MMT

Strategy Initiatives & Activities in the industry. Similarly, UNIDO– ICAMT programmes are initiatives taken by UNIDO for technology upgrade and productivity enhancement of the machine tool industry in India. They have selected six clusters—Rajkot, Ludhiana, Bengaluru, Pune, DelhiNCR and Hyderabad—that account for 90% of the machine tool production in the country. UNIDO has selected consultants for these clusters who work closely with the companies associated with the programme and help them achieve higher productivity.

Social Networking Websites

In an age when the Internet and its possibilities have been explored to its optimum, Indian SMEs are still far from upgrading their computer skills and utilising the outreach opportunities offered by social media sites today. SMEs in India have a huge opportunity for growth, if the perfect strategy is chosen for global outreach. Finding potential opportunities to elaborate their services, major search engines and social networking sites are now targeting small-scale industries to strike a win-win deal—Facebook and Google have taken the lead. FICCI’s recent collaboration with Facebook aims to bridge this gap and harness the power of the Internet and social networking sites. The initiative aims to make global business networking easy and effective for SMEs to help them attract more customers online. The initiative will also provide tutorials on ways to use Facebook optimally in order to build & engage in branding and to use free advertising credit on the social networking platform. Similarly, Google India has launched a Premier SME Partner programme in the country. The chosen partners will develop, launch and manage digital campaigns for small and medium businesses. These partners will offer end-to-end marketing solutions like search engine marketing and localised marketing solutions across Google properties such as AdWords. As part of this initiative, Google India 88

Companies Joining the Race

As of now, the SME sector faces many challenges, which need to be sorted diligently if the sector has to grow and contribute prominently to emerging India. To begin with, the sector faces acute shortage of legal knowledge while dealing with the legal system. Unlike blue chip companies, MSMEs do not boast of legal units to handle the judicial matters. Worse, they cannot even afford

Despite its commendable contribution to the nation’s economy, the SME segment does not get the required support from the concerned government departments, banks, financial institutions and corporates. SMEs face a number of problems— absence of adequate and timely banking finance, limited capital and knowledge, non-availability of suitable technology, low production capacity, ineffective marketing strategy, identification of new markets, constraints on modernisation & expansions, nonavailability of highly skilled labour

at affordable cost, followup with various government agencies to resolve problems and so on. Besides, the sector faces acute shortage of legal knowledge while dealing with the legal system. Unlike blue chip companies, MSMEs do not boast of legal units to handle judicial matters. Worse, they cannot even afford to pay heavy fees to lawyers to handle their cases more efficiently. This is where organisations such as SMEPositive come into the picture. SMEPositive is a one-stop solution for the SME sector, right from arranging funding to providing business and marketing solutions, technological innovations and business mentors. Suman Banerjee, Co-Founder, SMEpositive.in, says, “We assist SMEs the way PWC or Mckinsey assist MNCs. Once a company is registered with us, we take care of all its business requirements. Customised solutions is what we believe in. For example, in cases where a person does not even have a name for the company but has an idea to build upon, we start right from finding the suitable name to getting the company registered, arranging a perfect office location, getting the feasibility study done, HR services, marketing and branding solutions, arranging meetings with venture capitalists to providing business mentors. So, its like a one-stop shop. You pay the money and we will take care of all your business needs.” “We also help them identify lawyers who can handle their cases seriously while charging a reasonable amount. And suppose the company is not happy with the lawyer, we replace the lawyer with a new one without charging any money from the SME,” Banerjee further says. The resources are many, but the inclination to adopt new-age technology will determine how soon Indian SMEs become e-wise. The whole idea boils down to adopting new technology and creating awareness about its usage. nishant.kashyap@network18publishing.com

ROI Analysis Automation Trends

Automation: Value for money! Money, money, money ... sometimes it does make the world go round or so many think. Globally, automation is a norm but in India, it is only a trend. What is it that stops SMEs from integrating robotics into their processes? Initial investment or perhaps lack of understanding on Return on Investment (ROI) may be one of the barriers. Nedra Pereira finds out...

he Indian automotive industry is all set to get out of its slump and grow significantly in the coming year. With an annual turnover of approximately `3 lakh crore, the industry accounts for about 6% of India’s GDP. The Indian car market may actually move up from being the sixth largest in the world to the third largest by 2020, taking position only after the US and China. In addition, vehicle and component exports are also expected to grow exponentially owing to India’s ability of cost competitiveness and frugal engineering competence. India having the second largest population in the world, the slow acceptance of robotic automation does not come as a surprise. Some may view increase in automation as conversely 90

proportional to increase in cost. And a few years back, this thought may have had some truth to it; however, it does not any longer, as the quality and output requirements have significantly grown and are expected to grow further. The Indian government’s automotive mission plan and the upcoming National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020, among many other measures, have necessitated automation to an extent. The growth of the industry under these plans can only be achieved through automation as new technologies continue to become complex for humans to manufacture.

The Current Scenario

The process of automation and application of robots in industrial production has grown in leaps and bounds globally, since the industry’s first robot Unimate (used at an assembly line

for General Motors). The maturity of modern customers in an environment of increased competition has led the industry to battle dual challenges of increasing productivity and reducing labour cost. Flexibility in a business to adjust to the demands of the market and provide quality variants & volume improves competitiveness. It is in this context that automation, with the help of robotics and improved mechanisation, has been helping industries improve its level of efficiency. At a recently conducted event, Raghavendra Rao, Vice President, Frost & Sullivan, said, “India is a perpetual nation having perpetual growth. Challenges in automation adoption in India comprise availability of cheaper alternatives, lack of clarity on ROI and lack of clear regulation. India has the largest bank of skilled workforce where

Automation Trends there is money, market and people. We have to give serious thought to lower margins and higher growth.” He added, “Increasing demand from manufacturing activities in the country has forced manufacturers across different sectors to focus on attaining operational excellence. This would also necessitate the integration of automation and business systems, resulting in a shift towards the global trend of complete shop floor to top floor integration.” Unfortunately, very few in India have realised this, and although there is a slow change towards adoption of robotics in India, it is negligible compared to how other countries are adopting this trend. What causes companies to not adopt this trend? Is it the taxation policy or perhaps the worry of unemployment for the masses? In the manufacturing sector, India has less than five multipurpose industrial robots per 10,000 employees as compared to the average of 50 around the world.

The Road Ahead

Companies need to realise that in order to up their game, improve their productivity and product quality, automation is a must. It ensures consistent quality with high precision. Automation may not be extremely sophisticated—even a simple, relevant and inexpensive application such as loading and unloading of components between lines increases productivity. Comparatively, automation is a much cheaper affair than buying a whole new machine. When a CNC machine cost runs into crores, automation runs in five figure numbers. Companies need to remember that the investment made for automation breaks even in a set number of years, depending on the use of production. ROI is not a vague

Conclusion

possibility that cannot be achieved or is achieved because of luck or good fortune. It is a fact. Rohit Sharma, Engineer - Sales & Application, Yaskawa India Pvt Ltd (Robotic Division), says, “Integration of any form of automation in processes will help companies increase their productivity. Not only will quality improve but it will also be consistent. In my experience, many people fear that automation encourages unemployment, but the opposite has been true for our customers. Companies that have incorporated automation give their employees a chance to get trained further and improve their chances to climb up the corporate ladder.” “The average breakeven point of ROI for companies that use robotic automation is five years; this also includes medium- to low-volume production processes. The maximum ROI breakeven point is 10 years. But the gains are much more than the initial investment,” he further adds. The phobia of automation encouraging unemployment of the masses needs to be put to rest. In addition, automation provides a good working environment in terms of health and safety.

Universal Acceptance

The Industrial Federation of Robotics estimates the operation of more than 1.1 million industrial robots in factories around the world. Robots have been instrumental in improving the quality of work in most of these factories, significantly improving production output as well. A well established consequence of automation and robotics is reduction of operating costs and product manufacturing flexibility while consistently improving the

quality of products. Robots can be used in different fields and can work in conditions that are hazardous to humans and for applications that are monotonous. This makes their presence big in the automotive, packaging, transportation & logistics and electronic sectors.

The Role of Government and Industry

Despite being a labour-intensive country, we need to understand that the products made by the automotive industry are technically demanding and have a direct impact on human safety. Automation will not only help the industry but also increase and improve the quality of employment as people might find better roles in support functions and distribution networks. A Metra Martech study suggests that in China, as the number of robots per 10,000 people in manufacturing increased from less than one in 2000 to about nine by 2008, unemployment grew only by 0.1%. Brazil, on the other hand, witnessed a 6.2% decrease in unemployment as robot penetration increased from less than one to five per 10,000 during the same period. The industry is at a point where decisions made over the next few years will determine the outcome for decades to come. The reason is quite simple—technology in the coming years will diversify into various streams and there will be no single solution to bank on. This diversity will mandate the adoption of automation. What remains to be seen is that do we prepare in advance or play catch-up at later stages. nedra.pereira@network18publishing.com

Increasing efficiency, productivity and profitability with the assurance of qualitative industrial production, and eliminating hazardous working conditions for employees are some of the forefront objectives of companies. And robotic automation addresses all these objectives. Return on investment for automation is a given even though the timeline can vary from company to company. Perhaps one should think about the future gains as opposed to the immediate expenditure, as automation eventually pays for itself.

Event Report TIMTOS 2013

TIMTOS: a platform showcasing The Taipei International Machine Tool Show (TIMTOS) 2013 is rightly considered one of the top five tooling exhibitions in the world. It is organised by Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry (TAMI). Even though this was the 24th show running, it still had the first of many in it—the excellence awards to name one. It was clearly evident at this biennial event that machine tool builders in Taiwan are striving to produce equipment with improved & increased capabilities and quality while still keeping unit prices down.

Speaking about how important international markets are, Yih Jyh Kang, Executive Director, Exhibition Department, TAITRA, stated, “To assist our machinery manufacturers in developing emerging markets, TAITRA has also organised the EMMA Expo India annually since 2007 to help companies in machinery, moulding and other industries to explore the Indian market.” It is evident that Taiwanese manufacturers are exploring every avenue in making their market presence felt globally, providing solutions that have precision, quality and innovation and at respectable prices. At the Press Conference, John Hsu, Chairman, TAMI, referring to Taiwan’s global position, said, “Taiwan’s machine tool industry has many of what German management guru Hermann Simon calls ‘hidden

He is of the view that hidden champions share traits such as staying for a long term and taking a steady, not fast, approach.” “Over the years, Taiwanese machine tool suppliers have taken one solid step at a time in pursuit of precision, speed and sophistication. R&D is a long and tough road and the focus on one single technology

might not produce outstanding results in the beginning. However, years of experience, knowledge and hard work are now coming to fruition and will push the industry forward,” he added.

The Excellence Awards

For the first time, TIMTOS showcased the Taiwan Machine Tool Industry Awards 2013 for Excellence in Research and Innovation. These awards are known to raise the bar for constantly inspiring quality and innovation. Sixtytwo top products were submitted in the competition and underwent a strict review and evaluation of three months, before the winners were decided upon. Sixty companies in four categories were vying for a prestigious award. The Supreme Excellence Award was given to Wele Mechatonic Co Ltd. Other winners in the category of Machining Centres were Fair Friend Enterprise Co Ltd, Ching Hung Machinery & Electric Industrial Co Ltd, Tongtai Machine & Tool Co Ltd and Awea Mechatronic Co Ltd. In the category of CNC Lathes, the winners were Far East Machinery Co Ltd, Goodway Machine Corp and Ecoca Industrial Co Ltd. In the category of Other NC Machine Tools, the winners were Ching Hung Machinery & Electric Industrial Co Ltd, Shieh Yin Machinery Industry Co Ltd, Mars Precision Machinery Co Ltd and Yhm Springtech Machinery Co Ltd. In the category of Component for CNC Machine Tool Other NC Machine Tools, the winners were Bei Jyu Precision Machine Co Ltd, Keyarrow (Taiwan) Co Ltd, Habor Precise Industries Co Ltd and Hiwin Technologies Corp. industry has become more competitive with the trend being towards greater globalisation. Asian countries, especially Mainland China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, have swiftly taken over European countries and the US as major manufacturers. The Asian output value already accounts for 60% of the global output. Asia, Europe and North America are the top three markets, representing over 90% of the global consumption. The level of consumption in Asia alone exceeds the sum of Europe and North America, which makes it the most important market in the world.” “2012 was a relatively gloomy year. 96

MMT - April 2013

The one thing that stood out from the recession was the rapid growth of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) in Asia. The growth was mainly driven by rising labour costs in Mainland China, which resulted in the procurement of automation systems,” said Steve Lin, Chairman, Metal Forming Machinery committee, TAMI. He continued, “The economy has bottomed out from the previous year, and it is expected to pick up steadily from the second quarter of 2013. The recession of the past two years has actually urged equipment suppliers

to seek technical upgrades, and TIMTOS 2013 happens to be a good opportunity for them to show what they have achieved. Media coverage on the technology transition of premium suppliers will be much appreciated.” Lin, on talking about the hopes he had from TIMTOS 2013, added, “The recession in 2012 is also a wake-up call for Taiwan’s suppliers that we cannot solely rely on the Mainland China market, It is necessary to further develop other export markets. Southeast Asia, in particular, has shown strong signs of recovery after the financial crisis, and its market is growing rapidly. It is also a market where products from Taiwan enjoy stringer user presence. It is our hope that our presence in Southeast Asia can be reinforced through TIMTOS 2013.”

Vintage Machinery Showcase

Another first for TIMTOS was the special area dedicated to machines used from the 1960s to 1990s. The exhibit was rightly called ‘Heritage and Evolution’ and it showcased just that. Various machines from the Engine Lathe (1960) to the Teach-in Lathe

Launch Pad

Coro Pak 13.1 Tooling from Sandvik Coromant Gives Productivity a Boost

ith Coro Pak 13.1, Sandvik Coromant brings to market a range of new tooling products offering genuine competitive advantage and it includes:

New face mill

The new Coro Mill® 419 high feed face mill features indexable inserts with five cutting edges and through body coolant facility producing high productivity from roughing to semi-finishing operations. In fact, productivity gains of more than 20% are guaranteed against comparable competitor tools. It features an advantage in the form of a light cutting action facilitated by a 19° lead angle that sends majority of the forces directly up the spindle. This means that Coro Mill 419 is ideal for 40 taper machines. Impressive tool life is achievable on workpiece materials that include high alloy steels, stainless steels, titanium, etc. The demand for this exciting new product is anticipated to be high. High feed face or profile milling operations in industries will be among the major beneficiaries.

Internal coolant for Coro Mill 316

Among other milling highlights of Coro Pak 13.1 is the Coro Mill 316 exchangeable-head end mill. Already a huge success with Sandvik Coromant customers across the globe, this groundbreaking milling system now features through coolant capability to deliver superior chip evacuation and higher metal removal rates. The machining of materials as heat resistant super alloys, titanium and stainless steels can demand the deployment of coolant for temperature control and chip evacuation during cutting. By offering internal coolant holes to deliver a precise jet of coolant, Coro Mill 316 outperforms existing solutions with external coolants. Typical applications for Coro Mill 316 include high feed face milling, slot milling, helical interpolation, shoulder milling, profile milling and chamfer milling. Machine shops can make a quick

and easy switch between cutter type, radii, tooth frequency, geometry and grade.

Tooling system

Critical to the success of any cutting tool is its holder. In face milling operations, an age-old problem—pull-out—has finally been tackled head-on using the new Coro Chuck® 930.

REPORT CARD ITS-Bore Modular Boring System

A Holistic Boring Solution Manufacturer:

Larsen & Toubro Ltd - ISCAR

ISCAR introduces ITS-Bore, a modular, precision tool holder system for boring, milling, drilling and tapping. ISCAR uses the most advanced production equipment available in the world today to provide this extremely rigid and high-precision system. The system is known for its flexibility and simplicity, making it suitable for machine tools, machining centres and flexible manufacturing systems. A brief look at understanding the various applications of the ITS-Bore modular boring system will help determine its potential. Boring operations are performed to enlarge an existing hole to prepare for finishing and for machining to closest tolerances. The most common sizes of holes being bored are 30–100 mm diameter. ITS-Bore, however, covers a wide range from 18–800 mm in rough boring and 2.5 to 800 mm in fine boring.

ITS-Bore

Features & Other Offerings Competitor Features

Advantages

Large diameter: The rough boring head is used for roughing operation. It has strong tool construction, can remove 4–5 mm material diametrically and covers a wide diameter range from 18–800 mm.

Boring diameter ranges from 35–306 mm.

Wide range of boring diameters contributes to a high metal removal rate and increases the versatility of the boring system

Surface Finish: The fine boring head is used for finishing operation. It can remove up to 0.1 mm material diametrically and has a 10 ìm direct diameter adjustment and 2 ìm by a vernier scale. It covers a wide diameter range from 2.5–800 mm.

Diameter adjustment by 0.002 mm (0.00008 inch) for high accuracy. Fine boring for small diameters from 3 mm (0.118 inch).

Provides better finish surface and achieves close hole tolerances. This contributes to higher reliability of the machining process and increased productivity.

Internal Coolant Supply: ITS-Bore modular boring system is available with an internal coolant supply for all of its components.

Internal cutting ﬂuid supply is used when drilling stainless steel as a good supply of coolant at the cutting edges is essential for chip evacuation and tool life.

Ensures quick heat dissipation and safe removal of the chips, thereby saving the need of an external coolant supply.

Boring Rigidity and Concentricity: ITS-Bore facilitates machining to strict tolerances with a high degree of surface finish and features a unique cylindricalconical coupling and radial-expanding pin for clamping and driving.

Bending stiffness and torque transmissions are the most important factors when choosing a tool holder for boring operations. For best stability and hole quality, coupling or holding tool is used.

The conical fit, which automatically centres the mounted elements, guarantees rigidity and concentricity in boring and milling operations, and ensures security and precision on every machining.

Anti-vibration components: A wide range of anti-vibration components is available from ISCAR. These include extension and reducer adapters.

Damped tool is used when a tool overhang of more than 4 x D has to be employed. Vibrations at the hole entry is reduced by increased feed and/or a slight honing of the cutting edges.

The anti-vibration holders and adapters help to bore deeper and give a better surface finish. This improves its productivity, accuracy and tool life.

Areas Of Application n n n n n

 Chip Breaking

If the chip is too short or hard, increasing the depth of the cut or the feed rate and decreasing the cutting speed can improve chip breakability. In addition, optimising the design of the cutting tool geometry to a more closed chip breaker is another way to break a chip. If the chip is too long, increasing the cutting speed and decreasing the feed rate is an efficient way to break the chip. Efficient chip-control contributes to higher reliability of the machining process, a betterfinished surface and increased productivity.

Rough boring Finish boring Combination of rough and finish boring Milling, tapping Boring on heavy duty machine with MB110 adapters

Value additions to the application area  Machine power limitation

If the machine has limited power and torque needed for specific boring applications, then reduce the cutting data and apply step boring if a really large depth of cut is needed.

 Surface finish

Vibrations, feed marks, worn inserts and chip scratching surface are the parameters that cause bad surface finish. To ensure fine surface finish, use larger nose radius, decrease feed rate, reduce boring speed and change cutting edge.

Product USP

ITS-Bore modular boring system provides a modular and wide range of boring diameters from 18 to 800 mm with an adaptability to perform other operations like milling, drilling and tapping. The product focus here is to widen the range of boring diameters and increasing the versatility of the boring system. The technology used in the manufacturing process makes it extremely rigid. The system is designed to make it user-friendly and easy to operate. Avinash Pandey, Dharitri Dalvi, Rishab Kothari dharitri.dalvi@network18publishing.com
