Welcome to the Advanced Engineering UK 2011 – group of events Welcome to the Advanced Engineering UK 2011 group of events, bringing together, for the first time, four key pillars of the UK government’s advanced engineering strategy and creating a unique and exciting catalyst for ideas, technology exchange and business development.

With support and particiapation from a crosssection of leading UK technical & industry bodies, including UK Trade & Investment (UKTI); EEF – the manufacturers’ organisation; ADS Group; Composites UK; Energy Generation & Supply Knowledge Transfer Network (EG&S KTN); Electronics, Sensors & Photonics KTN; GTMA and Motorsport Industry Association (MIA), the co-location of four synergetic advanced emgineering and technology sectors allows attendees to network and investigate beyond their usual environments, to discover synergies and inter-industry technology transfer opportunities with the unusual suspects. The really exciting developments are often generated where worlds of knowledge collide.

Some 400 exhibitors across four identifiable sectors, supported by six parallel integrated speaking platforms generating in excess of 140 presentations during the two days, makes the Advanced Engineering UK group of events one of the most important meeting opportunities for industry supply chains. Each of the four co-locating shows that form the Advanced Engineering UK group of events is, in its own right, uniquely tailored to meet the technology and business development needs of its own supply chain communities and downstream customer groups. Each show combines specialist exhibits with free to attend parallel engineering Open Forums responding to the latest industry challenges and requirements.

AERO Engineering 2011 – Exhibition & Industry Briefing – now in its third edition, is fully established as THE meeting place for the UK aerospace engineering supply chain (the second largest in the world) to meet and do business: from OEMs and integrators right through to all tiers of the supply chain. This year supported

by ADS Group as headline industry partner, the event is unique, representing the UK’s only 100% dedicated trade show for the ‘purely’ aerospace engineering industries – from design/development, production, assembly, integration & supply chain, through to after-market engineering. For attending test & inspection engineering professionals, Open Forum 4 contains a 2 day programme of expert presentations, hosted by QMT magazine.

The Composites Engineering Show 2011 provides the UK’s only annual exhibition showcase of suppliers & partners to the rapidly growing composite design & manufacturing industries.

The Composites Engineering Show has doubled in size since the inaugural 2010 event. With a record take up of stands, the event will be the UK’s largest ever showcase for composites design and manufacturing, and supply chain capability.

This year’s show is again supported by Composites UK, the UK’s representative industry body, and NetComposites.

Energy Engineering 2011 provides a UK industry business briefing programme and supplier showcase for the combined renewables, nuclear and fossil fuel power generation supply chain industries. Supported by the Energy Generation & Supply KTN, the event’s timing reflects the unprecedented technological, environmental, operational and commercial challenges to meet crucial national and international energy targets.

Finally: The UK Plastic Electronics Show 2011 provides a brand new UK focal point for the developing organic and printed electronics value chain of industry partners, government and trade body stakeholders, regional development organisations, enabling technology suppliers, specialist manufacturing organisations and more. Supported by the Electronics, Sensors & Photonics KTN, together with +Plastic Electronics, the event introduces the game-changing technical, commercial & environmental ‘enabling’ potential of organic and printed electronics to UK design & manufacturing groups, as the industry crosses from R&D into the beginning of mainstream commercialisation.

Your SHOW GUIDE provides a comprehensive navigation tool through the combined exhibition floor plus the full breakdown of presentations and tutorials through both ’free to attend‘ programmes and optional ‘delegate upgrade’ streams.

Details of optional ‘delegate-only’ programmes can be found on page 59. Attendees wishing to attend any of these sessions can upgrade to delegate status at the main registration desk, at the entrance to Hall 20.

We wish all participants in this year’s expanded event an enjoyable & highly productive event.

The Voice of UK Manufacturing Advanced Engineering 2011 Show Guide interviews Terry Scuoler, CEO of our major partner, EEF – the organisation for UK manufacturing

Within a month of entering office in 2010, David Cameron and the UK’s Coalition Government declared their intention to bring about a change in the balance of the UK economy.

Events leading up to and resulting from the recession since 2008 have indicated a UK economy dangerously reliant on the non-value creating public sector and the paper value creating banking and financial sector. Looking to examples among the emerging economies of Asia and South America and resilient developed economies such as Germany, it is clear that sustainable wealth is built upon the very solid foundation of hard value creating engineering and manufacturing.

As the exhibits, events and opportunities in the Advanced Engineering 2011 group of events testify, the UK has remained at the forefront of engineering development. However, too much manufacturing has gone overseas in recent years causing the economy to become unbalanced. Of course, there are manufacturing success stories such as aerospace, automotive, energy and materials but, too often, come the manufacturing stage, British design brilliance is shipped off to distant places.

Prominent among a number of organisations assisting the government with its rebalancing plans is EEF which describes itself as, “the manufacturers’ organisation, helping thousands of companies to evolve and compete in a fast-changing world.” Acting as a policy co-ordinator for the sector, a driver for new ideas and a lobby for manufacturing interests at the heart of government, EEF is probably the single most important body in UK manufacturing today. So their involvement with Advanced Engineering 2011 is all of a piece with a drive to re-establish the UK as a world class centre for high quality manufacturing.

In that context, EEF’s views on the current state of and future for UK manufacturing is a matter of high importance which is why we met up with Terry Scuoler, CEO at EEF to discover the organisation’s views and plans on the things that matter for UK engineering and manufacturing. We met Terry at the end of a gruelling round of road shows at which he had visited more than 15 EEF sites around the country to test the views and concerns of British manufacturing businesses. The key issues raised by members could be summed up as… training and skills, investment, and the trade balance – exports versus imports.

The road shows seem an excellent and direct way to gauge member feelings so, we

Everything we do is designed to help UK manufacturers compete, innovate and grow. We will continue to be a growing, highly dynamic membership organisation championing manufacturing and supporting its growth through the delivery of our unique combination of manufacturing focused business services, government representation, industry intelligence and networks. wondered, how does EEF usually engage with and test the feelings of its members?

“We are constantly in touch with members through ten regional councils and their associated advisory boards as well as with regular regional events.” Terry confirmed. “There are also four or five policy committee meetings during the year and we conduct eight or ten major surveys each year to elicit member opinions and comments.”

So, looking a little further out, what are the medium- and longterm plans for EEF? “EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation,” Terry explained, “is dedicated to the future growth and development of UK manufacturing. Everything we do is designed to help UK manufacturers compete, innovate and grow. We will continue to be a growing, highly dynamic membership organisation championing manufacturing and supporting its growth through the delivery of our unique combination of manufacturing focused business services, government representation, industry intelligence and networks.

“The UK provides one of the most exciting, high value-added manufacturing environments in the world,” he continued, “leading in areas such as aerospace, advanced materials, energy generation, and printed and organic electronics. As a community of businesses, professionals, experts and influential authorities we share best practice and innovative thinking for everyone’s benefit.”

And where does the Advanced Engineering Show fit with this global view?

This was not, it seems, a difficult question for Terry. “The Advanced Engineering UK 2011 group of events provides the opportunity for

knowledge and technology transfer, capability, networking and business development across these high growth sectors. Importantly, it helps to illustrate the UK’s potential as a global engineering and technology hub to overseas customers, investors and partners.”

In these challenging times, it seemed sensible to also consider what issues EEF believes pose the greatest challenges to the Advanced Engineering sector in the next five years.

Pulling together a number of current strands of thought, our interviewee opined; “The growth of the emerging economies will continue to provide the greatest challenges to the Advanced Engineering sector in the UK. Increasingly they will no longer be seen as solely producers of low cost goods but will increasingly move up the value chain as they produce more engineers and spend more on research & development.

“Other factors will also impact upon the sector,” he added, “such as the need to deal with the cost and scarcity of raw materials, as well as the cost of energy. EEF’s most recent evidence suggests that this is leading manufacturers to radically redesign their products and processes, removing the need for some materials altogether.”

But, of course, life isn’t all challenges; there will also be great opportunities that the Advanced Engineering sector could leverage over the next five years.

“The increasing move towards a low carbon economy will be the greatest opportunity for the Advanced Engineering Sector to leverage.” was Terry’s affirmation of this major opportunity. “We need to remember that the solution to climate change, producing a greener environment and addressing some of the societal challenges we face across the globe is an engineering solution and that our sector will be at the forefront.

So, how would EEF’s CEO sum up potential growth areas for UK manufacturing in the first quarter of the twenty first century, now nearly half completed? Perhaps there will be few surprises in the reply but it never harms to remind ourselves where the future lies. And, EEF believes that it will be in the green economy and technology in general with sectors such as hybrid and electric vehicles, medical technology and composites moving up the manufacturing scale while more conventional sectors such as aerospace, defence and electronics will also be creating opportunities.

“From delivering clean energy, cleaner processes, more efficient energy and better use of more limited resources the Advanced Engineering Sector is at the forefront of all these solutions. In order to do this we will need many more highly skilled people right across our sector and at all levels. This will provide numerous opportunities and attractive careers for young people in the

EEF is committed to ensuring that businesses in our industry are able to find and train the next generation of engineering and manufacturing talent – from shop floor to top floor. That’s why we also deliver a range of skills and development programmes which span apprentices through to senior manufacturing executives. future and we need to ensure our education system supports this.”

Looking at that education system, what engagement does EEF have with schools, colleges and universities?

Terry expressed the views of many businesses around the UK when he replied that, “We’d like [Education Secretary] Michael Gove to turn out youngsters that we would wish to welcome into our businesses in a way that hasn’t happened in recent years. There is a need to start to influence youngsters at an early age – 12 or 13.

EEF encourages members to visit schools and get involved with careers advice. The country is faced with a generation who have been lost to engineering and manufacturing.

“The UK has been ‘caught on the hop’ and surprised at this early stage in the economic

recovery when we have already started to encounter serious skills shortages. We need to get youngsters (girls as well as boys) interested in apprenticeships; we need to explain that a good apprenticeship can lead to a degree; we need to dispel snobbish views about apprenticeships and the people who undertake them.”

So how would Terry describe EEF’s work on skills and apprenticeship development in engineering?

His initial response summed up a feeling found in many UK businesses today: “Manufacturers’ competitiveness hinges on a skilled workforce.” But, he continued, to develop the theme. “Recruiting and developing the right skills, at the right level equips manufacturers with the capability to deliver and grow. Better skilled employees are more productive, ensuring companies become more flexible and competitive. At EEF, skills and apprenticeship development are integral to our work and we actively deliver in three key areas: our influencing activity; through the delivery of our own national skills and apprentice service; and our training and development programmes which span shop floor to top floor.

“On the first, it is well known that manufacturing has been leading the economic recovery and we are seeing a greater demand for creating new jobs and nurturing talent at all levels. There is also a major challenge for UK manufacturers – building a strong pipeline of young people with the skills and desire to work in manufacturing. I am puzzled by something so relatively straight forward – that providing skills to a group of people who want them is not happening or does not appear to be working. That’s why at EEF, we’ve been working with our member businesses to take a lead in driving the skills agenda – helping to articulate skills requirements and provision and championing the sector’s case at a local, regional and national level. The solution is very much in our hands, and we will keep talking to government to make sure it is moving in the right direction.

“On the delivery-side, EEF is committed to ensuring that businesses in our industry are able to find and train the next generation of engineering and manufacturing talent – from shop floor to top floor. That’s why we also deliver a range of skills and development programmes which span apprentices through to senior manufacturing executives.

“We also celebrate the excellent work that businesses do in building their skills bases and harnessing the talents of their people through the EEF Future Manufacturing Awards.

in and shown the benefit of their skills and training efforts.”

While absolutely in

So, that’s training and skills, but what else must government do to support the Advanced Engineering sector?

“Government can take a number of actions to support the Advanced Engineering Sector.” is the EEF view. Terry expanded on this, “First and foremost it must sweep away the barriers preventing companies from investing.

These include making sure that the UK has a competitive tax system, especially for Research and Development, tackling the burden of regulation and delivering a world class education and skills system. In an era of limited public finances it must also channel its support towards those sectors which have the greatest potential to provide high value growth, in particular Advanced Engineering. And it must ensure the UK is an attractive place for foreign investors; in particular, not unilaterally impose additional costs on UK industry such as those which are now being imposed through some energy and environmental policies.

We also have to consider the macro-economic environment in which industry operates; EEF supports the coalition government’s deficit and debt reduction programme as well as the critical reviews of regulation such as some employment law which reduces the flexibility of the labour market – not a good thing.

Returning to the matter of foreign ownership of UK businesses, Terry and the EEF take a common sense view that where firms such as Tata and Siemens are prepared to commit heavily to UK based Research and Development (R&D) as well as manufacturing, that is good. However, there is a concern where owners transfer which can cloud real issues such as that the R&D (with the whole bodies of knowledge UK is only responsible for 1.8% of global emissions; we need to keep a sense of proportion. that accompany them) overseas.

“At EEF we believe that a simpler and effective Having now mentioned energy and approach to climate change and environmental environmental policies, what is there to tell policy is needed.” is how Terry explained it. about EEF’s work on Green and Climate “Safeguarding the competiveness of industry and creating a business environment that allows UK issues?

While absolutely in favour of a greener manufacturers to take advantage of the major economy, EEF worries that a dictatorial, opportunities in emerging industries in the low unilateral UK emissions and renewables carbon economy must be placed at the heart of policy mustn’t operate without regard to its government policy.

“We are therefore campaigning for an impact on wealth creating engineering and manufacturing. Particularly energy economically sustainable approach to climate i n t e n s i v e b u s i n e s s e s s u c h a s s t e e l change and environmental policy. This is manufacturing; EEF funds an ‘Intensive important because secure and competitively User Group’ for firms concerned at the pace priced supplies of energy are vital for of and potential for damaging UK manufacturing manufacturing, especially in energy intensive and jobs that an ill thought through ‘green’ sectors. The government must address key areas policy could have. Another worry is that too such as gas security, the inefficiency of current much of the equipment for the green economy renewables policy and barriers to investment in is being imported when UK business would nuclear power.

“And, importantly, manufacturing is a major benefit from developing our own manufacturing capacity. And there is too often a ‘religious’ area of opportunity where the UK is well placed tone from both sides in the green debate in a number of emerging industries. In short,

favour of a greener

economy, EEF worries

that a dictatorial, unilateral UK emissions and

renewables policy mustn’t operate without regard to its impact on wealth creating engineering and manufacturing.

what we want is a long-term strategy, a competitive tax system and investment in infrastructure so that as an industry, we can realise the business opportunities arising from the low carbon economy.

“We also need commitment from government to consolidate, simplify, and ultimately reduce, UK climate change legislation. The costs of new regulations and measures must be considered in terms of their cumulative impact on energy intensive manufacturers.

Climate change policy must be clear, consistent and certain.”

Does EEF get involved with new economic bodies such as LEPs (Local Enterprise Partnerships) and Enterprise Zones?

“That’s a good question,” was the initial response before adding, “While EEF has mixed views about the abolition of RDAs [the former Regional Development Agencies], we passionately want the new structures to work. EEF doesn’t have the resources to sit on every LEP and it would be unfair to only sit on some but we encourage members to engage with their local economic organisations by joining and actively participating in the boards that will run these bodies.”

Taking the wider view from the EEF stance on the future of manufacturing in the UK, Terry summed up our discussion…

“Manufacturing faces a very bright future in the UK after a long period when it has been neglected in the face of a belief that we didn’t need a manufacturing sector and could get by on financial services. This myth has been shattered. Once again manufacturing is at the centre of the political debate on how we rebalance our economy and build one based on high value products, processes, skills and investment. This is recognised by government and commentators and the key now is how we put policies in place to achieve this.

Manufacturing is also rebuilding its image with a reputation for having world class technologies and major success stories in sectors such as automotive, aerospace and as diverse as food and drink, and design. I firmly believe that if we all pull in the right direction we will once again have a sector that is recognised as the heartbeat of the economy.”

Our time with Terry Scuoler having run, we bid goodbye to the man charged with running the organisation that will sit at the heart of what we hope will be UK plc’s future. After years, even decades, of playing down the importance of manufacturing, it’s good to see government now recognising the importance of the industrial power base. EEF is there to co-ordinate and represent the UK’s still important manufacturing sector, critical to the nation’s recovery and long term prosperity.

The power of four ADS represents and supports world-leading UK advanced engineering sectors

Much of the U.K.’s engineering strength and achievement has been nurtured and developed in the Aerospace and Defence industries. It has often been cutting edge innovations from these sectors that have been the bedrock upon which much UK engineering prowess has been built. Also both industries remain globally significant players. The UK is fortunate inasmuch as these important industries with their overlapping and shared interests and capabilities are represented by one key body, ADS, the trade organisation advancing the interests of the UK Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space industries with its subsidiary Farnborough International Limited (FIL), which runs the Farnborough International Airshow. With offices not only in each of the four UK nations but also in France and India as well as planned presences in China and the Middle East, ADS ensures that the UK’s aerospace, defence and security sectors are well represented in the markets that matter.

All in all, as Graham Chisnall, Managing Director AeroSpace and Operations at of ADS, confirms UK aerospace businesses are in rude health with significant growth prospects especially in the commercial markets where wings, high value systems, structures and engines are all important UK products. In fact, as he explains, “We start from a position of strength because the UK aerospace sector is number one in Europe and number two in the world.”

The wings for all Airbus aircraft are made in the UK as well as the landing gear; and Rolls-Royce engines power not only Airbus aircraft but also equipment from other major manufacturers. In fact, when fitted with Rolls-Royce Trent engines, the A380 Super Jumbo includes over 50% UK content by value. Similarly, when fitted with RollsRoyce engines, the Boeing 787 includes more UK than US content. With Augusta Westland’s new civil programme, the AW169 being developed and built at Yeovil, as well as wings for the Bombardier C series being wholly made in Belfast the UK civil aerospace sector remains a very strong component in the global industry.

However, one cloud on the industry’s horizon, as ADS sees it, is the defence situation in the UK. The impact of the recent SDSR (Strategic Defence and Security Review) and the internal reviews that have followed have raised concerns about how the government sees UK defence in the future, with the Harrier fleet being withdrawn, the Nimrod programme cancelled, the aircraft carrier building programme prolonged over an extended period and further cuts not ruled out.

But you have to consider aerospace in respect of both of its parts, commercial and defence because most companies are involved in both sides of the business. The commercial side has certainly benefited from government launch aid, RND funding and EU framework arrangements.

The UK government spends less than others but the aerospace sector has made very good use of what resources are available to it. However, as Graham points out, there are some things that the industry does need from government.

Assistance with the very large investments involved would certainly be welcome as would full support for a skills and training agenda to

ensure that the right calibre of people with the appropriate skills continue to be available to the sector (see below). And there does have to be support for SMEs. Aerospace has a full and wellorganised supply chain but the SME end of that process needs support with relatively modest levels of funding. Fortunately the sector has a good relationship with BIS (the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills) with support forthcoming from Vince Cable, Mark Prisk and officials in the Department. For instance the government is offering excellent support on M-MRCA, the Indian Air Force fighter deal and the largest export fighter deal for a long time.

Graham makes a point, though, that, “On the defence side, the aerospace sector needs clarity on what capabilities the UK government wishes to maintain. In the near term the industry’s market is dominated by export deals.” But, of course, a strong home market is as, if not more, important in the long run.

Given the size of modern aerospace programmes, not even the largest industries or economies can any longer really support a major programme on their own; so a great deal of the next generation of aerospace platforms will be the results of collaborative working.

As Graham explains, “Everything is collaborative in reality these days: the latest Airbus and Boeing programs are collaborative; and even the Chinese are involved in collaborative programmes.

Collaboration is now the lifeblood of the sector.” There really doesn’t seem to be much likelihood that any future programs will not be collaborative. “Perhaps the US could afford them,” adds Graham, “but even the joint strike fighter (JSF) is a collaborative effort with BAE Systems. The UK is very good at collaboration: for instance the Tornado and before that the Jaguar military aircraft were both successful collaborative programmes.”

Coming back to the matter of training and skills, there are a number of matters relating to what is wanted and how it is delivered and they need to be high on the government’s agenda.

Aerospace requires skills at all levels and there are a number of different routes by which those skills can be obtained. A great deal is talked today about apprenticeships, and they are to be supported, but, as Graham points out, “There are apprenticeships and apprenticeships. A long-term scheme taking participants to levels three and four in their chosen skills area might require three, four or even five years of work experience and study.

However short-term apprenticeships of say 18 weeks for an estate agent or 10 weeks to learn how to make beef burgers may not be of the same value. Do not,” he warns, “devalue apprenticeships.”

As far as Aerospace is concerned, there is currently a dramatic shortage of graduates in the right disciplines such as engineering,

Much of the U.K.’s engineering strength and achievement has been nurtured and developed in the Aerospace and Defence industries. It has often been cutting edge innovations from these sectors that have been the bedrock upon which much UK engineering prowess has been built. Also both industries remain globally significant players. finance, legal, materials science, electrical and software. There is also a huge shortage of skilled technicians and operators. Good apprenticeships can lead to vocational or graduate qualifications and the aerospace sector is very supportive of the government’s drive in this area. ADS senses that the government is starting to restore what once was lost with apprenticeships that not only breed a strong employee-employer relationship but also offer the possibility of valuable progress and useful, usable skills for youngsters who may not be best suited to the graduate route.

And where will those skills be deployed: why is it important that technological innovation in aerospace remains a strong component in UK engineering; what are the areas where it matters most and how might the government best support that effort. Because there is an enormous pressure to produce ever more efficient, fuel saving, quiet, reliable airliners the big programmes will be in the commercial side of the sector. This will be an enormous market opportunity and countries not previously noted for their aerospace industries will be endeavouring to get in on the act at various levels. Most prominently, the Chinese are building Comac specifically to compete with Boeing and Airbus; Boeing estimates that the Chinese government is investing around $30 billion into the business.

Also, there are a number of technology ‘arms races’ in the development of composite materials and structures as well as building efficient but reliable engines.

“Given this extreme competitiveness in the global industry and the enormous desirability of being part of it,” Graham states, “the UK must remain at the top of the game in order to retain market share. We have to start today to develop the technologies for the platforms that will be in production in the mid-

2020s. It is, admittedly, difficult getting that urgency across to the government when times are hard and the sector seems to be doing so well at the moment.”

So, what will be the key aerospace manufacturing programmes involving UK resources in the next 10 years? Graham can deploy some impressive statistics.

On the civil side there are dramatic production increases planned with A320 production rising from 32 a month to 42 a month by mid-2012 and with similar increases in Boeing 737 outputs. But these are dated platforms which even with their re-engine programmes cannot really meet the long-term requirements of the industry.

The really exciting programs for the future will be the A350 and the A330 for the latter of which the whole wing will be made by GKN at Filton in Bristol. The Boeing 777 will continue but the 787 with Rolls-Royce engines and UK software presents an enormous opportunity to the UK industry.

On the military side, as already mentioned, the joint strike fighter (JSF) is a major US-UK collaborative programme with BAE Systems making the whole rear fuselage for the aircraft. Given the size of this programme, it will put a huge stress on the supply chain and in itself represents a testing challenge.

In the longer term, manufacturing will change considerably from the current model as new carbon fibre planes come into service. The Boeing 787 is already there, the Bombardier C series is about to enter service and with the A350 scheduled to enter service in 2014 things are going to seem a lot different in the future. Just a year before that in 2013 the A400M is scheduled to enter service with the world’s largest composite wing.

Speaking of the military side, Graham sets out some very exciting future programs. Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) will be developed to both have longer range and greater endurance for reconnaissance missions and to be more robust in the combat role. There will also be new classes of helicopter and tilt-rotor aircraft developed along the lines of the V22 Osprey in the US. The UK’s main aerospace showcase is, of course, the biannual Farnborough event and already, at the time of speaking, Graham was able to confirm that advanced bookings

were well up on this time two years ago. He adds, “There will be plenty of innovations at the 2012 event including the flying display.

We’re also looking to see how we can link the event to the London 2012 Olympics which open 12 days later; and it’s going to be the Queen’s 60th Jubilee in 2012 so we are very keen to celebrate. Among the many good things that will be happening, on the Friday we will be holding ‘Futures Day’ for 10,000 schoolchildren.”

As the lead organisation in four important UK advanced engineering sectors with international

offices to support its 920 members ADS offers good value to those who join. There is a range of services available supporting SC21 and there are 104 committees and working groups covering topics from market analyses to NDT techniques and legislation.

Graham Chisnall concludes by reminding us that, “The UK is urgently looking not just for the rebalancing of the economy but for getting growth where it can. Aerospace generates £22 billion in revenues and exports 70% of its output.” Pretty conclusive.

ADS Members’ News Digest Developments and news from some of the ADS members exhibiting at Advanced Engineering 2011

Secure supplies and tailored solutions for users of Titanium and high performance metals As a first time exhibitor at Aero Engineering it may come a surprise to some that Titanium Industries are the world’s largest independent stockholder and processor of Titanium and high performance metals with current stocks of over $50m in titanium alone; and they are improving their stock position.

Due to their financial strength and market analysis the firm has decided to increase worldwide stocks to improve short term availability.

Titanium Industries are a world class supplier of only qualified titanium and high performance metals to Medical, Aerospace, Gas & Oil, Motor Racing

and many other High Technology Industries. Operating from 14 sites around the world, they hold stock from sponge through ingot and in most finished forms of titanium product. This lends the ability to supply from stock or to arrange quick manufacture to meet virtually any requirement. The firm has a variety of customer specific quality approvals along with ISO 9001 and AS9100 rev ‘C’ certification. You’ll find Titanium Industries on stand 513 where they will be happy to help you, or improve your supply chain. Their proud boast is “We like to provide solutions, not bring you problems”.

Siemens’ experts on hand at Aero Engineering 2011 to showcase scalable solutions for aerospace

Rolatube retractable masts and booms ready to help explore the furthest possibilities

Siemens Industry Automation and Drive Technologies (IA&DT) will be showcasing its latest technological innovations and fully scalable solutions for aerospace engineering and manufacture on stand 507 at this year’s Aero Engineering.

The company will have a number of experts on hand during the show to take visitors through the benefits its industrial solutions can deliver – in particular, the technology ideally suited for the specific needs of the aerospace industry.

Siemens IA&DT can provide totally integrated manufacturing which is able to support from planning through to final production. This is delivered through the most technologically advanced and innovative production techniques designed to allow aerospace companies to increase operational efficiency and achieve energy efficiency savings, while maintaining the highest quality of product.

The Siemens team will demonstrate its four stages of automation and how it can offer the support and expertise required to meet the specific requirements at all levels of the aerospace manufacturing supply chain.

Tim Goodhead, global account manager for aerospace at Siemens, comments: “We’re looking forward to the show and think it will provide a unique opportunity to demonstrate our industry-leading capabilities and expertise in the aerospace sector.”

Rolatube Technology (the trading name of RTL Materials Ltd.), the developer of a composite technology for extending masts and booms, is celebrating the successful completion of two Technology Strategy Board (TSB) supported ‘Innovation in Space’ feasibility projects.

One project, conducted in partnership with the Surrey Space Centre (SSC) in Guildford, culminated in the manufacture of 4m long self-extending booms made from space qualified carbon fibre/ cyanoester, intended to support solar arrays.

When not in use the booms pack away into a cylinder less than 10 cm in diameter and 14 cm high. This is part of a long-standing collaboration with SSC which will continue later this year as Rolatube starts work on the SSC led ‘Deploytech’ project, supported by the EU under Framework 7.

The other project, carried out with EADS/Astrium in Stevenage, succeeded in increasing the torsional stiffness of a Rolatube by a factor of ten. This enables the consideration of replacing static masts and booms with a retractable version. Astrium carried out tests mounting the new technology on their Mars Rover breadboard to support sensitive optical equipment.

Rolatube hope to take the new product into full production later this year, and are exploring the opportunities for further work on this with Astrium.

Rolatube exhibited at the TSB’s ‘Innovate ‘11’ event at the Business Design Centre in London on Tuesday October 11th as part of the High Value Manufacturing showcase of Britain’s most innovative high growth manufacturing businesses; a great warm up for Advanced Engineering UK 2011!

ADS Members’ News Digest BAE Systems ‘BLAST’ combats Degraded Visual Environments BAE Systems has recently showcased its Brownout Landing Aid System Technology (BLAST), a situational awareness solution that helps helicopter pilots see in degraded visual environments (DVE).

BAE Systems utilised ‘off-the-shelf’ technology garnered from alreadyfielded systems in developing BLAST, which addresses the urgent need for rotorcraft operation in DVE, such as brownout, fog, and smoke.

Helicopter brownout occurs when a pilot loses visual references due to dust or sand re-circulating during take-off or landing, which is a major problem in arid desert terrain. Brownout poses a major safety risk to helicopter operations in desert operations, which the new BLAST system could solve. As allied forces have investigated reducing the high accident rates caused by poor visibility when DVE conditions exist, they have realised this phenomenon will not be resolved through training

alone but is one that requires a technology solution. BAE Systems successfully tested BLAST in April 2011 at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona. The system demonstrated effective real-time 3-D visual landing zone representation with overlaid flight symbology information to a pilot in DVE conditions. The flight symbology provides all relevant flight critical information, allowing the pilot to easily judge the height, speed, and drift of the aircraft.

BLAST is at a technology readiness level (TRL) 6 as a prototype DVE System demonstrated in a relevant environment The system’s light weight, flexible architecture and ruggedized features allow it to be installed on both new and legacy helicopter models. The strong, versatile nature of this technology allows all platforms requiring real-time 3D situational awareness in DVE to benefit from this solution.

AS9100 REV C awarded CGTech to feature New Drilling and Assembly Software to Atlas Composites at AeroEngineering and Composites Engineering Show

At the AeroEngineering and Composites Engineering Show, CGTech on stand 622. will be exhibiting the latest versions of its VERICUT software products for both Machine Tool Simulation and Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) programming and simulation. In addition the firm will present the first UK preview of a new product for programming and simulation of Automated Drilling and Fastening machines.

VERICUT Drilling & Fastening is a new software application for simulating and programming auto-drilling and fastening machines. The software allows the user to programme drilling and fastener assembly operations in a virtual machine tool environment and provides simulation to check for a variety of potentially disastrous error conditions. Like all VERICUT software the new product interfaces to leading CAD/CAM/PLM systems and is independent of the assembly machine manufacturer.

Vericut machine tool simulation Atlas Composites are constantly striving to improve processes, build on existing platforms and develop innovative new methods to face the most demanding challenges. So it is with some pride that the firm is able to reveal their most recent UKAS accreditation – AS9100 REV C, the Quality Management System standard for Aviation, Space and Defence in recognition of this continual commitment to improvement.

The award of AS9100 REV C certification, aided by consultancy and training firm TPT Consultancy, expands on the existing scope of AS9100 Rev B and is testimony to Atlas Composite’s operating effectiveness, quality procedures and its Executive Management’s commitment to customers.

Overseeing the timeline of change from Gap Analysis to AS9100 REV C Accreditation, Managing Director Shaun Moloney confirmed: “Our commitment to new and existing customers within the Aerospace and Defence sectors is transparent for all to see with the award of AS9100 Rev C. The importance of monitoring and supplying audited data to evaluate performance and delivery over a 12 month period cannot be overstated. This is underlined by the fact that very few companies have managed to achieve AS9100 REV C within such a short time frame.”

“Atlas Composites customer base includes many dynamic and forward thinking companies who expect and demand continuous improvement from their supply chain. Achieving AS9100 Rev C recognition gives us a competitive advantage that will not only strengthen our existing relationships with the likes of Airbus, BAE Systems and MBDA, it will also provide confidence to prospective new customers in selecting Atlas Composites as a preferred partner for next generation composites.”

22 | COMPOSITES UK

Advanced materials for tomorrow’s advanced engineering Not only are composites a major component in future engineering development but also, as Dr Sue Halliwell, Composites UK Secretary explains, the UK is a leader in the sector.

Looking to the future, for both financial and environmental reasons engineers will increasingly seek stronger, lighter materials to use in their constructions and products.

For some time, the value of composites in this context has been recognised and so the UK’s enormous strengths in that sector are cause not only for pride but also for hope that they will contribute disproportionately to the country’s future economic (especially engineering and manufacturing) success. But what is the current strength and world position of UK composites and composites engineering?

According to Composites UK, the lead body in coordinating the UK’s efforts in this sector, the global composites industry is becoming increasingly competitive. Many competitor countries have recognised the strategic importance of composite materials and support their own companies in developing capability to provide them with a global comparative advantage. Thus the UK is only likely to remain competitive and become a world class player by grasping commercial opportunities and building on the expertise and capability we already have. In order to do this we need a collaborative approach and improve joined-up activities.

In this context, the UK government, through BIS (the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills), chaired the National Composites Leadership forum where representatives from leading bodies and organisations met to discuss the future strategy of the industry and what government support was required.

Composites UK believes that this forum needs to be resurrected to ensure joined up thinking across the industry and complete supply chain.

UK companies, especially SMEs, could benefit significantly from national support to identify existing and emerging export markets for their current products as well as up-skilling to diversify their production techniques and product range to exploit a wider range of application areas.

Collaborative programmes are also crucial to the advancement of the UK composites industry. The UKTI market report published in 2011 estimates that there are currently around 1,500 companies involved in the UK composites industry where almost 85% of activity is undertaken by the 38 largest companies. Outside the top 38 companies the UK supply chain is made up of smaller firms supplying into a variety of industry sectors and export markets. SME companies are

Thus the UK is only likely to remain competitive and become a world class player by grasping commercial opportunities and building on the expertise and capability we already have.

In order to do this we need a collaborative approach and improve joined-up activities. often innovative and forward thinking but lack the financial resource to fully develop new ideas – this is why collaborative working is critical to their future success. Collaboration needs to occur across the supply chain, between large and small companies alike.

The sector currently needs skills in all areas of industry: there is a real demand for engineers with knowledge of composites right down to the people that actually make things. It is unlikely that in the next five to 10 years this will change.

One area of increasing interest across a range of UK industrial sectors is skills acquisition: how will people qualify for future composites and composites engineering jobs; will it be through degrees, other HE/FE qualifications, apprenticeships, or different types of qualification?

The Skills Academy for Composites is currently working towards increasing the numbers of skills providers to meet potential demand.

Over the past year, the National Occupational Standards have been updated and these should be available for the industry at the beginning of 2012. The Apprenticeship framework will now include a composite pathway which will help develop the technician skill requirement. There is also a lot of work underway to encourage Universities to include composites in their courses, thus increasing the knowledge level.

All this is intrinsically linked back to industry needs, without which no qualifications should be developed. All the qualifications need to be relevant and up to date with current practices in the industry.

It is important that technological innovation in composites remains a strong component in the UK’s engineering sector; but in what areas does it matter most and how can the government best support that effort? The UK Composites Strategy, published by BIS in 2009, focuses on advanced composites where it is believed the UK can build a competitive advantage, increase our market share of existing sectors and ensure the use of composites in new industries.

According to market experts, the global industry for composites materials is estimated to grow by 4-6% in the next five years. It is anticipated that the two sectors that will drive this growth will be aerospace and wind energy, respectively expected to grow by 16% and 13% each year (Lucintel report 2009).

Composites is a key growth industry for the UK as documented in the UK Composites Strategy (see above). The UKTI report, published in early 2011, indicated significant UK growth for this sector in volume of material manufactured in the UK and both utilised in the UK as well as exported, particularly in the wind energy, aerospace and automotive sectors.

The UK is already a large exporter in key areas of the supply chain, in particular carbon fibre components and structures for aerospace applications.

National Composites Hub The UK is only likely to remain competitive by grasping commercial opportunities and building on the expertise and capability we already have to become a world class player. In order to do this we need a collaborative approach and to improve joined-up activities. The UK Composites Strategy highlighted four key requirements: • Leadership and coordination; • Value/supply chain development; • Technology development; • Skills development.

The National Composites Hub has been formed to bring together the key national delivery partners to achieve this.

Composites UK, Composites Skills Alliance and National Composites Centre are exploring opportunities to bring together the key national delivery partners to achieve this. The aim is to develop a sustainable coordinating infrastructure to ensure the success of the UK composites industry. It will bring together collaborating partners who can deliver complimentary support to meet industry needs: National Composites Centre: • Leading network of regional composite centres of excellence; • Feeding into high value manufacturing technology innovation centre.

Composites Skills Alliance: • Brings together Semta, Cogent, NSAM, NSAPI; • Generating quality assured and marketed training provider network from FE, HE and industry.

the UK government has invested several million GBP in funding the National Composites Centre and Technology Innovation Centres to ensure the UK industry is able to meet this demand.

Composites UK is the recognised trade body for the industry: membership has increased by 50% in the last 18 months, and continues to increase.

The UK is already a large exporter in key areas of the supply chain, in particular carbon fibre components and structures for aerospace applications. In addition, the UK exports both prepreg and resins to the European wind energy industry and has domestic resin, fabric and fibre supply. The UK is working towards creating a sizeable offshore wind turbine blade composites supply chain over the next five years, which will lead to substantial future export opportunities e.g. German, Danish and North Sea offshore wind farms will be able to leverage the existing UK supply chain.

The UKTI market report suggests that UK composite component manufacturers should expect to see a decline in their international competitiveness. As a result, this group would benefit most from actions to increase their international sales.

Such support should include: • Targeting export sales in the core markets of the USA and Europe; • Expansion in the Middle East region; • Investment in China through direct exports or new sites.

Outside of the aerospace sector, the UK composite industry is characterised by many small companies and low levels of exports. These companies would benefit from support to increase their export sales.

The UK Composites Strategy published by BIS in 2009 called for a unified approach to unite a fragmented industry. With this in mind, Composites UK, working collaboratively with the National Composites Centre (NCC), UKTI and Composites Skills Alliance is committed to supporting the UK composites industry to maintain and improve our position in the global composites market.

Composites UK: • Building sector information and understanding; • Providing supply chain and international trade opportunities (collaboration with UKTI); • Managed collaborative programmes through preferred suppliers; • Unified skills base for composites.

Benefit examples

• R eady access to skills and training packages associated with their technology interests.

• Infrastructure necessary to enable collaborative groups to understand and deliver shared technology trade and skills activities.

• Access to a joined up offer of fully integrated delivery from all partners ensuring cross-company needs are met.

More information on this concept will be delivered during the Composites UK Infrastructure congress sessions at Composites Engineering 2011.

Composites Grand Challenge Celebrating technical success and an inspirational year An advanced engineering programme initiated by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) will be a highlighted theme setter for industry briefings at the Composites Engineering Show 2011.

The UK is a world leader in many future facing, benchmark setting engineering disciplines, not least of which is composites engineering. A great deal of that leadership derives from a national technology strategy that is not just supportive of work underway today but, equally, is prepared to invest in programmes to strengthen UK capabilities and to explore wider fields of application for those capabilities: to establish leadership positions in the advanced engineering disciplines of tomorrow.

One such programme has been the £10 million i-Composites programme of collaborative research and development co-funded by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and 22 programme partners from a variety of market sectors, supply chain positions and scales.

In June 2011, i-Composites, a consortium of 22 companies from across British industry and led

by GKN Aerospace, concluded a unique one year challenge set by the Technology Strategy Board on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). Called ‘The Composites Grand Challenge’, the programme required the companies to collaborate to progress innovations in vital composite manufacturing technologies.

These technologies will extend the UK’s ability to rapidly and sustainably manufacture affordable, high-performance composite products – a key global growth market for the future.

From the announcement until July 2011 the i-Composites consortium participated in and hosted events showcasing the results of their research and sharing the outcomes across UK industry to boost the country’s leadership in this area. The first of these will be exhibited at the BIS Composites Exhibition from 6-17 June 2011 at 1 Victoria Street, London, which Mark Prisk, Minister for Business & Enterprise, visited.

Business Minister Mark Prisk said, “Today’s exhibition at BIS demonstrates the success of the joint funded Grand Challenge programme.

It also highlights the UK expertise that is putting our country at the forefront of new developments.

The composite market is a high value and fast growing sector with huge opportunities to create economic growth. Opportunities in the UK wind turbine blade and aerospace markets alone will be worth an estimated £22bn by 2020.

“Later this year the new Government funded National Composites Centre will open in Bristol providing manufacturing facilities on an industrial scale, capable of building prototypes to validate design concepts and rapid manufacturing process.”

The final showcase event for the i-Composites programme was at the newly built National

2011 | SHOWGUIDE

Composites Centre at SPark in Bristol towards the end of July.

The competition to win the Grand Challenge was run by the Technology Strategy Board on behalf of BIS who funded the competition.

The winning consortium gained £10m funding – £5m from BIS with matched funds from the participating companies. This funding has been used to progress 26 projects which were focused around five themes: energy reduction, automation, process time reduction, materials and sustainability.

Marcus Bryson, CEO of GKN Aerospace said, “Without doubt, the Grand Challenge programme has substantially progressed the UK’s manufacturing capabilities in the growing field of composites. We encourage BIS and the Technology Strategy Board to embark on further programmes of this nature in order to maintain the momentum the Grand Challenge has stimulated and support the creation of sustainable economic growth for the UK.” Results from a year of work across the research programme include the development of advanced methods of wing manufacture, the development and validation of rapid curing technologies and techniques to significantly increase the affordability and availability of high performance composite fabrics. In the latter case a significant automotive market opportunity has been established. Over the year, capability levels have improved by an average of two increments, typically from Capability Readiness Level 3 to CRL5.

“When we set the Composites Grand Challenge last year, part of the objective was to create a new, strong force for innovation in a sector that has been fragmented. We are delighted to see that this diverse consortium has worked so well together to address the challenges faced by their industry. They have found innovative approaches, shared the outcomes of their research and moved the UK’s manufacturing capabilities forward in this vital and growing sector,” said Dr John Morlidge, Lead Technologist for Advanced Materials at the Technology Strategy Board.

The Technology Strategy Board is now interested in using this Grand Challenge model in other areas of UK industry to stimulate the same sort of coordinated momentum that is evident within the composites sector. The other point the TSB are really keen to pull out of this is the SME community working effectively with the large firm industrial community.

Now, the i-Composites programme of technical projects will be taking front stage at the Composites Engineering Show, as themes for individual presentations within the Composites UK Sponsored Industry Briefings.

The composite market is a high value and fast growing sector with huge opportunities to create economic growth.

The Technology Strategy Board is a business-led government body which works to create economic growth by ensuring that the UK is a global leader in innovation. Sponsored by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), the Technology Strategy Board brings together business, research and the public sector, supporting and accelerating the development of innovative products and services to meet market needs, tackle major societal challenges and help build the future economy.

Proven services and ready for growth Through investment, epm: technology consistently improves the offer to customers.

“We will have more space this year to hold further discussions at the exhibition. We understand it is very clear and important to lead the industry whilst being consistent”.

In 1996, Graham Mulholland started epm: technology. The main aim, which seemed simple at the time, was to give customers parts they wanted to buy. The rest of the business from this simple starting point should follow. 15 years later epm: technology is constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Through investment in their growing core team and developing special relationships with high performance engineering companies from Aerospace and Defence through to F1. The ethos is now supporting customers to achieve more by introducing engineering momentum.

“We don’t necessarily excel in making ‘widgets’.” says Graham Mulholland MD of epm: technology. “We can and do make volume parts, but the challenge is always greater when you’re potentially making changes to fundamentally assist your customers.”

Last year epm: technology exhibited at the Composite Show to listen to the demands of potential ‘new’ customers in ‘new’ market sectors. It was very clear that support in making products better was needed and there was a requirement for commercial solutions to their engineering challenges.

As a result of this, epm: technology is taking a very similar approach to the 2011 Composite

Engineering Show. A slightly bigger presence will allow epm: technology to demonstrate at the show how they have previously successfully tackled other challenges. Graham Mulholland confirmed; “We will have more space this year to hold further discussions at the exhibition. We understand it is very clear and important to lead the industry whilst being consistent”.

Over the past year epm: technology has also invested heavily in new equipment – two new 5 axis CNC machines, taking the onsite capacity to five CNC centres with the largest two both being 7m long. We have also invested in additional Autoclaves to assist with capacity planning and have replaced older ovens with the latest Dual Burner technology ovens giving epm: technology the capability to carry out post cures from 30°c to 425°c and process the latest generation high temperature pre-preg materials.

Graham Mulholland concluded; “We are taking a much more focused approach to our expansion into Aerospace markets. epm: technology can offer more value in the application of knowhow and technology to help our current and future customers. To some people our approach is too simple and to others it is now a core part of our success. Come to our stand (633) and I will guarantee a warm welcome from my team as we continue to engineer momentum.”

After a number of years of hype and expectation, 2011 was the year plastic electronics began achieving significant commercial success.

Samsung, one of the biggest consumer electronics firm in the world, is reaping the rewards of its continued, sizeable investment in development and manufacturing for organic lightemitting diodes (OLEDs), which are changing the displays industry.

The South Korean company produces OLED displays for its flagship smartphone the Samsung Galaxy S, pitched as a competitor to Apple’s iPhone. Earlier in 2011 the company announced that it had sold 30 million of its OLED-equipped Samsung Galaxy S and S II smartphones. In October the company partnered with Google to launch the Nexus smartphone, with a curved OLED display.

displays, the market for these plastic electronic devices will grow dramatically. Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab 7.7, unveiled at an event in September 2011, is likely to be the first step into this next generation of OLED-enabled devices.

This is the first big slice to be taken from a printed electronics market that is predicted to grow to $55.1 billion (£34.4 billion) by 2020, according to market intelligence firm IDTechEx.

Next generation

There are many more exciting areas of plastic electronics that can expect to have a dramatic commercial impact. Thin, flexible OLED lighting attached to ceilings, walls and even curved architectural surfaces; printed solar cells attached to electronic devices throughout offices and homes, taking devices off-grid, and replacing batteries; and supermarkets with self-powered digital shelf labels that can update offers and prices at the press of a button.

concept is edging closer to reality. There has been intensive development of the toolkit for these technologies – base materials for the inks, conductive ink solutions, adapted printing systems, barrier and encapsulation materials, knowledge of device structures and deposition techniques have all progressed.

As Samsung and LG’s high-volume manufacturing of OLED displays demonstrates, a mature supply chain is forming for the plastic electronics industry. Big names in the chemicals industry like BASF, Merck and Solvay are investing heavily. Recognised brands are throwing their weight behind plastic electronics: from multimillion pound investment in OLED lighting manufacturing by Osram and Philips; wearable electronics and smart textile clothing launched

by Adidas; and packaging with integrated electronics being supplied by MeadWestvaco.

Commercialising research For the UK, the opportunities lie in exploiting its unique research knowledge. The UK’s plastic electronics innovation is prized by the rest of the world: in 2007, OLED pioneer Cambridge Display Technology was acquired for around $285 million by Japanese firm Sumitomo Chemical. In 2011, the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies invested $700 million in Plastic Logic, a Cambridge start-up developing – and now manufacturing – organic semiconductor technology for its own e-reader device.

These deals are an indication of the UK’s strength in plastic electronics, but also testament to the lamentable need for UK start-ups to head elsewhere to realise their potential. Whether Plastic Logic delivers on the promise underlined by a total investment of around $900 million to date remains to be seen: but if it does, its devices will be manufactured in Dresden, Germany and Zelenograd, Russia.

With such a range of markets and industries likely to be influenced by the arrival of plastic electronics in the coming years, first mover advantage for UK firms is likely to slip away if it is not taken soon.

Opportunities There is a range of reliable, scalable technologies offered by UK plastic electronics developers: with the guidance of brand owners and OEMs, and their awareness of market needs and consumer pull, these start-ups could move from attentiongrabbing demonstrators to commercial success.

The UK boasts developers and suppliers of an array of promising technologies, such as printed, flexible solar cells; low-power electronic shelf labels; and materials for integrated circuitry for gift cards, packaging, and other print products.

The opportunities for plastic electronics are seemingly endless: from automotive and aerospace to buildings and infrastructure,

Companies are captivated by the concepts, but deterred by their nebulousness.

With the market promise having been demonstrated, now is the time for companies to capitalise. And if developers can show potential partners what can be done with their technology,

integrators and users may be able to explain how plastic electronics will improve their products and business. It is time to move from technology push to market pull – and the UK’s businesses could be the ones to enable this, and to profit from it. +Plastic Electronics magazine is the leading news source for the printed and organic electronics industry.

Energy Generation & Supply Knowledge Transfer Network Future energy: the engineering challenge of a lifetime

In the UK, the Energy Generation & Supply Knowledge Transfer Network (EG&S KTN) has been established to provide a clear and focused vehicle for the rapid transfer of highquality information Given that the world’s population is growing faster than ever before and that this larger population will have much higher lifestyle expectations than people of earlier generations, one area where demand will continue to grow will be energy. While means may be developed to reduce levels of energy consumption needed to power the things that we need to work with and want to enjoy in our leisure hours, it is more than likely that the growing population plus an increasing number of applications for power will ensure that demand will continue its upward trajectory. Couple that with the dangers of environmental damage from traditional energy generation and it is clear that the improved engineering of energy generation and supply will be a key sector in the 21st century and beyond.

In the UK, the Energy Generation & Supply Knowledge Transfer Network (EG&S KTN) has been established to provide a clear and focused vehicle for the rapid transfer of high-quality information on technologies, markets, funding and partnering opportunities within the energy generation and supply sector. The objective is to accelerate developing technologies up the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) ladder.

One way of achieving this will be to provide the opportunities for UK industry and supply chain

players to meet and network with businesses, academia, utilities and other energy innovation stakeholders, and the private investment community, in the UK and internationally.

Another useful service will be to provide clarity regarding energy technology exploitation at various stages along the innovation pipeline and to enable effective knowledge transfer between relevant people and organisations, in particular ensuring a match between utility and industrial needs, and supply-chain technology/research capabilities. EG&S KTN will also encourage the flow of people, knowledge and experience between policy groups, industry, the science base and the utility/generating community, with the common aim of delivering products and services that meet a clear energy need and are commercially attractive as well as attracting and optimising the various funding sources by use of road mapping and market analysis. Finally it will provide a forum for a coherent industry voice to inform Government policy making and the private investment community and provide advice on the various support mechanisms (public and private) available to the research base and industry The challenges faced by the UK’s energy industry are legion but we can perhaps identify three key issues that will test engineering skills in the years ahead.

on technologies, markets, funding and partnering opportunities Carbon Abatement Technologies Fossil fuels underpin most aspects of modern life and most projections show fossil fuels continuing to dominate energy supply well into the century, to 2050 at least. However, the combustion of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide (CO2), widely acknowledged as the main cause of climate change. For the foreseeable future, fossil fuels will also continue to underpin the security of electricity supply in the UK, regardless of what implementation occurs with renewable energy sources and nuclear power.

Fossil fuel based carbon abatement technologies (CATs) are a group of innovative technologies that enable fossil fuels to be used with substantially reduced CO2 emissions.

Therefore, they can be part of the solution to climate change, while still allowing fossil fuels to make a major contribution to the security of electricity supply. CATs cover a range of generic

options for reducing the CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion. These include: • H igher efficiency conversion processes – the amount of fuel consumed and the associated emission of CO2, is reduced when conversion processes (e.g. power generation, oil refining) are made more efficient. This can contribute to emissions reductions of 10-30% depending on the performance of the old and replacement plant.

• Fuel switching to lower carbon alternatives – the main example for the UK is the replacement of coal-fired power generation with natural gas, which reduces emissions by about 50% per unit of output. However, there are other options such as co-firing with 15-20% biomass, which can deliver emissions reductions of 15-20%.

• Carbon capture and storage (CCS) – in which the carbon in fossil fuels is captured (as CO2), either pre-combustion or post-combustion and committed to long-term storage in geological formations. This approach can reduce emissions by up to 85% depending on the type of noncapture plant displaced. It is widely recognised that, to meet climate change objectives, there now needs to be a more urgent emphasis on demonstration and deployment of CATs, particularly CCS.

Nuclear

planning to build a new capability. The UK is in a position to support these developments, not only through its own history in the nuclear arena, but also through associated industries such as financial and legal services, project management and education.

The aim of the nuclear KTN is therefore to enable the development of those capabilities in which the UK is strong, and to create an environment where companies traditionally not involved in the nuclear arena can apply their expertise to the industry in the UK and internationally.

Renewable energy generation This is a fast growing and very large sector which, in its own right, could command a series of articles.

In this one article, we concentrate of just two high profile parts of this exciting range of technologies.

Wave and Tidal in the UK The UK has large wave and tidal current resources and is seen as the leader in this field through its R&D programmes, development facilities, and industrial position in marine and offshore engineering. The leading wave and tidal current device concepts emerged on the scene about a decade ago. Since then, there has been an exponential growth in the number and diversity of different technologies being developed, and in the funding available from governments around the world. Much has been achieved in recent years, including a number of prototype devices being constructed, installed and tested in a harsh environment. In St Ives Bay, Cornwall, there is now a hub to which various experimental wave power devices can be linked so that their generating characteristics, efficiency and capability can be measured over a prolonged period in real oceanic conditions.

Device developers have gained experience of manufacturing, installation and operation.

However, there is, as yet, no commercial wave or tidal-current generation scheme operators anywhere in the world. This is a measure of the size of the challenge posed by the harsh marine environment.

In the UK, 19 nuclear reactors are currently producing approximately 18% of our electrical supply. All but one of these reactors (Sizewell B) are currently scheduled to be retired by 2023, with construction of a new generation of power plants expected to commence around 2012. Historically the UK has played a major role in the development of world commercial nuclear power generation.

As the next generation of nuclear reactors comes on line the UK is seeking to make best use of its historical knowledge and apply its capability to new developments, both at home and internationally, through concentrating on those areas where the UK has particularly strong expertise; for example, engineering and nuclear fuel cycle services.

The international drive for low carbon energy generation and improved energy security is leading to many countries investigating the part that nuclear power can play in their energy Offshore Wind strategy. China, Russia and India have particularly Offshore wind is set to grow strongly in the UK, ambitious plans to increase their nuclear power which will account for 10% of the global market by supply; however several countries are also 2050, according to renewable energy non-profit

Carbon Trust. In a statement, the organisation said the offshore market would be worth £170bn in 39 years, employing 230,000 people in the UK. Roughly 80% of those jobs will come from exports.

In its report, ‘UK Offshore Wind: Charting the Right Course’, the BWEA (British Wind Energy Association – now called Renewables UK) notes that, “The offshore wind supply chain is maturing slowly and the extent to which confidence can develop or be accelerated has a substantial impact on overall capital costs with a five-year horizon, or more importantly, the trajectory which capital costs will be following by 2015. If sufficient confidence is instilled for incumbent and new entrant suppliers and contractors, a dedicated supply chain could be created for offshore wind for the first time. The heavy interdependency on other sectors… continues to be a major capital cost issue. The offshore wind industry has so far ridden on the back of other sectors and so has been subject to the conditions in those markets.”

The report also notes, under the heading, “Increasing UK content – a high priority,” that a high level of content from continental Europe in the UK’s offshore wind energy equipment has created some adverse price conditions as the value of sterling has declined against the euro during the last few years. The report notes the importance of creating a UK production base not only to avoid the vagaries of currency fluctuations but also to give UK industry an opportunity to become leaders in this market. The report adds that, “Success for UK manufacture relies on the UK providing the base demand for the critical ‘mass’ [on which a market can be built]. However, it is important to recognise that the UK cannot go it alone as contractors require a strong and stable political climate in more than one national market before significant investment decisions can be sanctioned. In this respect, a successful UK offshore wind industry is inextricably linked to similar successes in other EU markets, despite the additional short term pressure on the supply chain that this will incur.”

With the next stage in the offshore wind energy story being the development of very large wind turbines as envisaged in the EWEA (European Wind Energy Association) March 2011 report, ‘UpWind’, the opportunities for UK engineering and composite businesses to establish a firm position in this market have never been greater.

Innovative designs and enormous generation capability (up to 10MW in the near future and 20MW machines already at the design stage) to operate in the most inhospitable offshore conditions will challenge engineers as never before. But, with the UK having overtaken Denmark in 2008 as the world’s biggest user of offshore wind generated energy, it would be a pity if a lot of those engineers were not British.

Whatever the technology, energy generation and supply will be the basis for enormous markets in the years ahead and UK industry must take its place in that market sooner rather than later.

MIA members win at much more than motorsport

Most people with even a passing interest in engineering and the UK’s capability for innovation and excellence will also enjoy motorsport. Like any sport, it pitches teams who are the best in their field against each other in an event that combines driving skill and speed with tactical planning and execution that would fit well into a chess tournament.

But over-riding all of this is the engineering capabilities of the cars and the teams of engineers that sit behind every success on the racetrack. When Sebastian Vettel thanks ‘everybody back there’ for his victory, it isn’t only words. With success or failure measured in thousandths of a second and with a true ‘life or death’ significance to the quality of the products, motorsport technology and engineering are usually at the very forefront of what is possible in the discipline. So, it’s not perhaps surprising that motorsport engineering businesses are often in demand to apply their skills, ideas and capabilities in a range of other engineering sectors.

Chris Aylett, CEO of the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) has a better opportunity than most to understand this phenomenon at first hand.

“Time is money,” explains Chris, “and the one commodity we are all running out of is time.

High performance engineering and motorsport companies, in the UK’s Motorsport Valley are, essentially, R&D prototype builders – delivering, often unique, innovative engineering solutions to a wide range of customers. Because of the demands of motorsport, where no televised race has ever been delayed by a late delivery of parts, they must always deliver on time.

“The constant demand for the next innovative solution to keep their customers winning, leaves them with no time to spare. This never ending discipline makes them ultra-efficient suppliers to an ever growing list of customers from new sectors such as defence, marine, space, automotive and aerospace. All have discovered the ‘value of time’ and that speedy delivery of right-first-time solutions is what they need.

“The focus, from the very first race, has been on securing the maximum efficiency from the energy source allowed – whether steam, diesel, petrol or more recently, hybrid power, all electric or bio-fuels. The weight penalty of carrying heavyweight energy packages – mostly gasoline and now battery packs – has driven the technology leaders in motorsport to become

The most high profile example of knowledge and technology transfer from motorsport is to the aerospace engineering sector where a number of innovations first developed in the motorsport arena have been applied to great effect in the very demanding environments of commercial and military aviation.

experts in the efficient use of energy. Hence their world-class expertise of lightweight materials, aerodynamics, low-friction lubricants and tyres, for example. More recently, as physical race testing has been limited to reduce costs, they have rapidly adopted simulation as a key skill and are right at the cutting edge in this area too.

“These companies spend more than 30% of their annual sales on R&D with hardly a university in sight – all private investment in the endless battle for victory on the track. Due to the presence of motorsport, there are more privately owned wind tunnels per square mile in Motorsport Valley than anywhere else in the world.

“Motorsport companies are keen to use their knowledge and skills as a supplier to the aerospace sector and to bring their winning ways to new customers. The MIA (www.the-mia.com) acts as a link to these great companies – just send us a message and we will connect you to this sector” Certainly the most high profile example of knowledge and technology transfer from motorsport is to the aerospace engineering sector where a number of innovations first developed in the motorsport arena have been applied to great effect in the very demanding environments of commercial and military aviation.

Nuno Lourenco of Goodrich CTG identifies the challenges of those environments; “Aerospace is an industry where safety is paramount and therefore there is a natural aversion to technical risk. The greatest opportunities will come from any incremental innovation which focuses on improving any of the four main principles of flight (weight, drag, lift, thrust) without any level of uncertainty as to its reliability or endurance.”

CTG’s transmission shaft technology is present in a number of major aircraft programmes because of its designed-in reliability.

And it’s not only in products where the skills transfer can be of value. Paul Jackson, Commercial Director at Lola Cars highlights another synergetic benefit in; “the design teams at Lola sharing knowledge on the specific skills of

each industry we service. Composite technology in design and application is integral to the range of projects that Lola has undertaken in recent years. The pace of processes has filtered into aerospace to achieve reduced lead times.”

Of course, motorsport and aerospace are not the same in every respect. As Jon Greaves, Managing Director at Retrac Composites Ltd. explains; “the aerospace and motorsport industry sectors are different because of the manufacturing and development timescales. In motorsport, the timescales are very short; new designs are required to be turned around in days so that components are running on the cars for the next race. The aerospace industry, although innovative, is different because development of designs and processes take time as there is a lot more standardisation and safety factors, including component fatigue and life expectancy, to be taken into account.”

But while aerospace engineering derives a great deal of benefit from its association with motorsport businesses, it’s not the only place where the knowledge and technologies developed for a demanding sport can be applied in the wider world. The need for strength, durability and light weight as well as thermal and electrical integrity means that businesses from the motorsport industry can work in a range of areas. For instance, CTG’s work on composite flywheels for kinetic energy recovery systems has found applications across industries including power smoothing on national grids.

Another example would be Retrac’s work developing and manufacturing a carbon composite rotor blade in a compressor engine.

Again because of the different timescales within which the sectors operate, Retrac were able to

achieve a component to the specified design criteria in less than two months. As Lola Cars have found, it is a general understanding of lightweight structures and the benefits that they can bring to multiple industries that sits at the heart of the motorsport industry’s contribution to the wider engineering sector.

Of course it isn’t all one-way traffic and, through its involvement with so many other advanced engineering applications, the motorsport industry gains insights into many of the innovation and development programs across the whole discipline. Sometimes this will add value to motorsport itself and, on other occasions, motorsport businesses will identify from their own experience, ideas that can assist with those innovation and development programs.

In particular working practices and processes are often shared between sectors.

Some of the programs with which motorsport businesses are involved are of major significance for the future of UK advanced engineering and manufacturing. CTG for instance has recently finished working on a program funded by South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) where they developed a low-cost, low weight, highly resistive fuel pipe for aircraft applications.

As more and more aeroplanes with composite wings enter the market, there is a pressing need to insure the fuel system doesn’t become the main conductive path in the event of lightning strike and CTG’s pipes are now undergoing qualification for the new Airbus A350WXB. Lola cars makes complex carbon structures for, among others, Bombardier’s C series the wings for which are being manufactured in Belfast. The firm is also involved with HAV (Hybrid Air Vehicles). And Retrac Composites

are currently working with Airbus on the Next Generation Composite Wing (NGCW) program to develop a novel manufacturing method with the aim of producing high rate composite wing components. The process uses an automated method of producing small scale components to the required configuration prior to integration in the wing box structure.

In fact motorsport businesses are involved in many knowledge and technology transfer programs such as Goodrich CTG’s involvement in EU and DTI funded programs for the development of products including suspension systems for the next generation of wind turbine generators. Or Lola Cars’ involvement with Meggitt Defence on developing the Banshee range, a target system that provides threat simulation for air defence weapon system training.

So, while motorsport may superficially appear to be a rather glamorous branch of engineering devoted more to entertainment pleasure than to applications in the wider world, that is far from the case. With an extremely demanding operating environment, an overriding requirement for the safest possible conditions and a constant technology development race every bit as exciting and challenging as the races driven by the drivers for the teams, this is an engineering sector at the very cutting-edge of its discipline.

As a result, ideas techniques and technologies developed in motorsport can provide other engineering sectors operating in demanding environments or to compressed timescales with innovative and successful components and products that will make their contribution to industry and engineering in general that much more effective.

There is a better way Improved material capability, increased applications and more complex performance expectations make choosing the correct tool for machining composites more critical than ever.

Demand for complex, lightweight, costOur hunger for composites keeps increasing.

New twin-aisle aircraft – such as Boeing’s 787 and Airbus’ A350 – derive 50-53% of their weight efficient airframe from advanced composite materials, supplying fuel savings 20-25% lower than similarly sized airplanes, and delivering better cost-per-available-seatmile (CASM).

Long-range forecasts anticipate delivery of 2535,000 new airplanes over the next 20 years, with the strongest market growth from twin-aisle airplanes at around 20%. Such uncompromising composite expansion means OEMs and tier subcontractors need more techniques to process it, more tooling to machine it and more knowledge to optimise it.

Machining composites Demand for complex, lightweight, cost-competitive structures continues to evolve, driven by requirements for greater efficiency, capability and lower operating costs. Invariably such structures require skills and an understanding of practices passed down from other industries, but staying with original concepts means the outcome is neither satisfactory nor economical nor productive.

Looking for a cutting tool supplier that’s fluent in composites can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack – so where do you start? Select those who understand industry trends, employ a proven methodology, and possess a portfolio of relevant technical applications to back it all up. It’s essential you work in collaboration with your tool supplier, providing you with the means to machine more effectively via productivity partnering programs that challenge conventional wisdom. Smart companies also explore usability improvements to help production rates – small tweaks to cutting data, tool geometries and

materials can see productivity boom; paying for themselves overnight.

Cutting tool technology has been advancing as quickly as our demand for composites has been increasing. The latest tools deliver exceptional productivity with massively reduced costs, slashing machining time and cutting the cost of doing business. It wasn’t so long ago that 15 linear metres seemed acceptable, but a high performance CVD diamond coated multi-flute router can deliver 45 linear metres in 10 mm thick carbon fibre.

Automation and scalability Ballooning appetites put serious strain on composite companies, and processes that looked capable a few years ago may be struggling to cope today. Before long, tool change frequencies rise, production rate slows and entire flow lines become distressed – and downtime is increasingly likely.

Is automation the answer? The benefits are clear; components with known manufacturing cost, repeatability through standardization, reduction in expensive rework and the elimination of hand-finishing operations.

In order for this to happen, a more inclusive approach needs to be practised by all parties; not at each stage when major decisions have been made, but at the beginning, during process formulation. A comparison can be drawn from automotive industry best practice. Whilst the style and scale are different, the demands are the same – cost-effective production at an acceptable price, of satisfactory quality and produced on time.

Despite OEMs progressively machining composites with large automated machines, growth in part shape and size – ranging upwards

competitive structures continues to evolve, driven by requirements for greater efficiency, capability and lower operating costs. of 15m x 6m – means they are increasingly awkward to machine, particularly in terms of maintaining positional accuracy of the machined features. Designing cutting tools that preserve a true and precise position offset some of these issues; nevertheless, the final location is largely controlled through fixturing and machine tool integrity.

An integrated approach Applying modern cutting tools is more than ‘man vs. machine vs. robot’. Understanding the materials, updating the fixturing and controlling debris removal are also key contributors to your success. Approaching the entire process with an attitude of integration will deliver essential reductions in machining costs, scrap rate and process flow-time. Through knowledge, commitment and partnership, the means to productively machine advanced composites can be realised.

Graham Waters, Director We make yarn splicers, which reduce costs in the manufacture and processing of glass fibre, carbon fibre and aramid. The composites industry has always needed the benefits of yarn splicers, but until recently it was impossible to make good splices in carbon and glass fibre; the fibres are weak in bending, and easily destroyed by compressed air.

But our research has led to radical new products, which can splice carbon and glass with ease. We can splice up to 15,000 tex. And we can splice acrylic precursor yarn used to make carbon fibres – the splices survive the harsh carbon fibre production process.

The new splicers yield big savings in production costs. They are already being used with great success in plants world-wide.
