32 | EEF
Representing industry Terry Scuoler, Chief Executive at EEF tells us about UK manufacturing today and what it will need to secure the future John Hancock
Turning the UK around The UK was the world’s first industrial economy and few would argue that industrial capability contributed massively to Britain’s enormous wealth generated in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. But that, as they say, was then. From as early as when Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, others strove to equal or surpass Great Britain’s industrial strength and global manufacturing became not just a shared space but a competitive space on several levels… price, quality and marketing. It had its effect and no-one would deny that the second half of the twentieth century was largely a period of decline for British manufacturing, especially the heavy, labour intensive sectors. But, again, that was then. If the heavy industries declined, a raft of ‘high tech’ sectors continued to flourish and innovate until today, the UK’s manufacturing and engineering landscape has improved out of all recognition from the past. British factories are once again serving the world, although in quite different ways with the high tech, high value products that define modern life. Industries like aerospace (always successful) have been joined by others, like automotive, whose success would not have so easily been predicted or composites which didn’t even exist (at least not on an industrial scale) in the mid-twentieth century. UK engineering and manufacturing are back with a vengeance.
Strong leadership for British manufacturing In the vanguard of this British industrial renaissance, EEF is banging the drum for British engineering and manufacturing, yes; but, more practically, working for the sector, thinking ahead, lobbying and advising government, being, in its own words, ‘manufacturing’s biggest supporter’. EEF has also been a major supporter of Advanced Engineering UK group of events and this year is no exception. Given this pivotal position, we thought an insight on EEF’s agenda this year and the outlook next year when the UK will be holding a general election would be very useful for readers. So, as in previous year’s, we met with EEF’s Chief Executive, Terry Scuoler for a chat about about the state of UK manufacturing, what it needs to continue to succeed and how it sees the future. Advanced Engineering UK 2014: What are the big developments on EEF’s horizon? Terry Scuoler: The big thing on our horizon is next year’s election and the impact it could have on our ambition for a strong, stable, rebalanced British economy. From party conference season through to the election and beyond, we will be focused on getting across to all political parties the pressing need for balanced growth and the key role our sector has to play in underpinning this.

EEF | 33
Interestingly, to help drive our message through we asked consumers for their views on the economy and the role of the manufacturing sector. The response has been heartening. 63% want to see Britain enjoying a better-balanced economy – mainly because they can see the benefit of the long-term security and resilience it would provide. 85% want the next Government to promote a stronger UK manufacturing base, believing it will deliver more jobs, economic growth and prosperity. The result I think we should all be most pleased with is that manufacturing is in fact the sector consumers most want to see grow. It’s the message most of us in industry hear when talking to friends and family, but it’s great to now have firm evidence to back it up. It puts us in a very strong position when talking to the parties about their manifestoes and should make them even more receptive when we present our own manifesto demands. AEUK 2014: To follow up on that, what are EEF’s manifesto demands? TS: The election comes at a critical time for the UK economy – we cannot afford to lose direction or pace. Essentially our manifesto is all about underpinning better-balanced growth. We are going to be calling on all parties to put delivering a long-term strategy for growth at the top of their agenda for government. Half the battle will be to get them to build on existing industry sector strategies. The other will be to convince them to leave alone business and economic policies that are clearly working well. There is many a truth in the phrase: ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it’! More specifically, our manifesto focuses on five key policy areas: skills, innovation, infrastructure, energy and resources, and staying in the EU. AEUK 2014: The issue of skills seems to be a major problem for the sector? TS: Yes it does – but with the right strategy in place and the full backing of Government the situation can be addressed. Britain needs to be producing highly motivated, skilled young people ready, willing and able to enter the world of manufacturing, engineering and wider industry. It is simply counter-intuitive that you have a sector offering well-paid, interesting and rewarding careers – but not enough youngsters either willing enough or skilled enough to grasp the opportunity. There is clearly a huge disconnect and we are determined to get to grips with it. The solutions we are putting forward in our manifesto are not rocket science – but if followed through in a determined and strategic way they will bear fruit. We are proposing introducing ‘career aspiration’ in primary schools – this means getting young people to think about their future and ensure they have access to
powerhouse on a global stage. There was a dedicated week for our sector – Manufacturing, Science and Technology week – and our role was to ensure that manufacturing and engineering received maximum air time during it. Our priority was to put ‘Make it Britain’ centre stage – showcasing the wealth of talent, opportunity and ability in the manufacturing and engineering sector. We set out to celebrate, challenge and engage. We were determined to open eyes to new opportunities in manufacturing, such AEUK 2014: I think I heard you say earlier as re-shoring, and to also open up the future this year something about the sector’s image of manufacturing to debate. We gave businesses and investors a place where they problem? TS: Yes; if we want to be the best, we need to could exchange advice and ideas and the attract the best and that means competing with feedback we got was tremendous. There other industries perceived to be more dynamic, was a real energy at the IFB that week, more interesting or even, dare I say, simply which cannot have failed to impress potential more glamorous. It is very frustrating as those inward investors. of us working in the sector know just how many opportunities there are to create, innovate and AEUK 2014: So, one final question to ask, be truly ‘cutting-edge’. The point is that we’re why has EEF decided to work with Advanced not very good at telling people about them. I Engineering UK 2014? do believe that we all have a role to play.

More and engineering are today. importantly it puts them in direct contact with AEUK 2014: Tell me more about how others who are perhaps early adopters of new technology, or best practitioners in a certain innovation features in your manifesto. TS: We want to keep Britain at the forefront field. It’s a great way of boosting learning and of new technology through research and networking. It opens eyes. This kind of event can plant some interesting development, with a tax regime that incentivises and rewards innovation and long-term business seeds and there really is nothing more inspiring investment. That means funding and incentivising than seeing world-class innovators crossbusinesses to research and develop new fertilise ideas. products, technologies and services. And of course, giving more support to exporters so Confidence built on experience that Britain can sell even more goods abroad.

34 | ROYAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING
An Academy for Engineers The Royal Academy of Engineering seeks to ensure that the UK’s government and the public are fully aware of the huge part played by engineering in designing, delivering and sustaining our society and of the brilliant career opportunities available to young people. John Hancock
The Royal Academy of Engineering provides leadership and promotes excellence across all fields of engineering, to the benefit of society. The Academy’s activities are shaped, led and delivered by its exceptional Fellowship, which represents the nation’s best practising engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs, often in leading roles across business and academia. Engineering is at the heart of our nation and our future, transforming ideas and materials into global infrastructure, products and services that in turn increase the wealth and health of our economy and society. Through practical actions, most often with partners, the Academy is: • Increasing the quantity and quality of engineering skills in the UK; • Supporting engineering innovation and entrepreneurship; • Bringing real awareness of the value of engineering to society and the rewards of engineering jobs; • Advising policymakers on issues with an engineering dimension. The Royal Academy has a number of objectives believing that they can best support sustainable economic growth by investing in research and creating a climate in which research, innovation, entrepreneurship and investment flourish. They are firm in their belief that the UK is a great place from which to do business – but that more can be done. Actions taken by the Academy include: • Investing alongside industry in leading-edge research with high growth potential, being undertaken in UK universities. • Building productive relationships between industry and universities across the UK. • Working to secure a step change in the success of high-potential UK-based entrepreneurial technology businesses. • Advising on national policy where there is an engineering dimension to delivery • Influencing the conditions needed to produce the very best engineering and engineers that can successfully address major national and global issues. • Celebrating engineering achievements. With the Royal Academy being such an important part of the UK engineering landscape, readers want to know more about this pivotal organisation and its view of UK engineering and how it fits in today’s global markets. So, what better person for us to talk with than Philip Greenish CBE, Chief Executive of the Academy?
We met Mr Greenish on a sunny afternoon in London, taking some time out of his busy schedule to help us inform readers. Our first question was to ask how would the Royal Academy of Engineering define a more balanced economy and how would they like to see that achieved? “It’s all about,” Mr Greenish explained, “national wealth in a world that is becoming ever more competitive. It is about enabling productive industries and businesses to grow and increase their proportion of the economy.” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “Given that 50% of UK exports by value are manufactured products and services; that is what we would like to see increased. “The UK has to compete effectively on highvalue, high-technology products and high value added services. But it’s not just that – it’s also about doing any type of manufacturing well and cost effectively.” We couldn’t really have asked for a more comprehensive answer. But it did lead us to wonder that, if it’s all about national wealth, what steps the government could take to support the Academy’s objectives and to support UK engineering. Without hesitation, Mr Greenish responded; “The first thing they can do is make sure that the environment is right for engineering and manufacturing companies to succeed, including those providing services. The biggest challenge is making sure that businesses have the right expertise and skills available to them and that the education system is delivering people with the right skills and in the right numbers. For example, our analysis tells us that, broadly speaking, we need to double the number of people entering the jobs market with graduate level engineering qualifications… and the government has an important role in delivering that.” Given that it’s about education, we wondered what programmes would best promote engineering among youngsters still to make their long-term study choices or decide their careers. There are, Mr Greenish explained, two aspects to this one. “First,” he said, “is to provide young people across the UK, and their teachers and parents with a coherent programme of engagement activities that connect them with the world of engineering. This is why the profession, which includes both industry and professional bodies, is putting its weight

Key facts about UK engineering and the Royal Academy • The engineering sector makes up at least 28% of the UK economy and employs over 5.4 million people. • For every £1 the Academy spends on Research Chairs, industry and other sources provide an additional £11. • Academy-backed researchers collaborated with over 300 companies last year. • The £50,000 MacRobert Award is given every year for the UK’s top engineering innovation that has achieved commercial success and benefited society. • Six Enterprise Fellowship awardees, mentored and supported with £500k, established five spin-out companies and attracted an additional £1.5m in investment in their first year. behind the ‘Tomorrow’s Engineers’ programme, coordinated by our partners ‘EngineeringUK’. “Secondly, we have a lot to do to market engineering in a different way to everybody in the UK; to change how people perceive engineering which, as we engineers all know, offers a highly creative, exciting and rewarding career. We are currently working with a number of large engineering companies to create a substantial, broad-based media campaign to deliver this.” Bearing in mind that engineering is a global profession and sector with many branches; we wondered to what extent the Academy has links with overseas institutions of a similar nature. “The Academy has strong links with networks of international academies including in important countries like China, India, USA and across Europe.” Mr Greenish explained, continuing,
ROYAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING | 35
Tomorrow’s Engineers Tomorrow’s Engineers brings engineering to schools that might not otherwise be involved in the subject through lively hands-on activities, entertaining, enlightening theatre shows, careers resources and more. We use the programme to show young people just what they could achieve if they choose the right qualifications and experience. Engineering drives and revolutionises a range of industries such as film, green technology, medicine, construction, sports and electronics. We champion the essential work of UK engineers, challenge old ideas about the industry and inform and excite students, parents and teachers about the engineering careers opportunities available.
We have a lot to do to market engineering in a different way to everybody in the UK; to change how people perceive engineering “Through these links, we build important relationships with partner countries. For instance in China the President and Premier are both engineers and China’s Academy of Engineering is a very influential body. We also use these networks to help deliver international programmes such as the new government initiated ‘Newton Fund’ to build science and innovation capacity in developing countries.” We had already taken a fair amount of Mr Greenish’s time but had one more question to ask before we left. UK engineering has always been a world leader but in what engineering sectors does the Academy expect the UK to lead for the future? Mr Greenish was very clear. “We have many major established sectors that are doing
really well and are crucial to the UK economy. I would include aerospace, automotive and defence amongst many others. However there are also a great many exciting new sectors which offer tremendous potential, ranging from robotics and autonomous systems through to satellites, regenerative medicine and big data: any one of these and many more hold the key to the UK’s future economic performance.” We bade our goodbyes as Mr Greenish moved to his next meeting but we were impressed by the amount of information that could be packed into one meeting and we’re glad to be able to pass this on to readers and attendees at Advanced Engineering UK 2014.
which, as we engineers all know, offers a highly creative, exciting and rewarding career

36 | KTN LIMITED
A network for transferring and sharing knowledge The people at KTN Limited believe that when ideas come together, exciting things happen Peter Dunwell
A new home for established networking success Perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight, we could look back and wonder why there were once multiple Knowledge Transfer Networks (KTNs) in the UK. Likely as not, the idea grew in one sector and was taken up by other sectors because it seemed to work. However, since April 2014 all of the separate KTNs have been brought together in a new and much larger company, Knowledge Transfer Network Limited, and that makes for a very exciting organisation; one we’ll be very pleased to welcome to Advanced Engineering UK 2014 where they will be hosting the Future Enablers presentations with Innovate UK (formerly the Technology Strategy Board). First though, given the recent nature of the reorganisation and its significance for the sector, we thought that readers would be interested to know more about it. So we met with Domain Director Dr Steve Welch to find out about this new organisation for established success stories, why it has been created and what it plans to do. The first thing that we wanted to know was what will be the advantages of bringing all of the previous KTNs into one organisation. “Although the 15 separate networks wanted to work together; because they were separate organisations they tended to be competitive.” Dr Welch explained. “Now, all under the one roof, collaboration is more natural and it’s an effortless task to get to people we couldn’t get to before. We’re able to bring end users and technology providers together who wouldn’t usually meet and that can lead to very good outcomes: nothing beats talking to an end-user about what they can afford and what they want. Also people can be inspired by the different technologies thinking ‘Oh, I can use that!’ There are a lot of subgroups in areas such as medical, environmental, crime, transport… and of course lots in technology.
a holistic view. “For instance,” says Dr Welch, “take semiconductors which are currently all silicone but which have disadvantages such as not being very good in high temperatures. They can be made in other compounds but that is neither so quick nor as cheap as silicon. There are great things you can do with compound semiconductors tailored to purpose and, for mass production purposes, KTN can bring together an aggregation of people who have similar needs, such as working with high-temperature reactors, and who together can create a market.” One area where KTN is very accomplished is in helping small businesses through the so-called ‘Valley of Death’ between having a good idea and getting it into production because, as Dr Welch explains, “we can get into big organisations in a way that small SMEs can’t. For instance we have a company that is good at making a DC meter in which companies like Sharp or Panasonic would be interested but the company with the trick of making the DC meter is a two-man business and much too small for a large company to notice whereas KTN can effect that introduction.”
Success breeds success And of course KTN is a pure play knowledge sharing organisation, not in competition with the people it’s trying to help. In fact Dr Welch would say that the success of KTN is the success of the companies who use them. As he puts it, “We find that the more people work cooperatively together the bigger the markets are growing. The new organisation is working excellently because we have eliminated internal competition and being larger also helps our relationships with funding bodies and companies. Also, because our success relies on knowing everybody in the supply chain, we are used to dealing with businesses of all sizes.
Innovation, shared needs and the Valley of Death
Future enablers at Advanced Engineering UK
“Innovation is our key emphasis, our purpose; new technology and ‘new to me’ technology.” Dr Welch continued. “People coming to the [Advanced Engineering] show will be interested in networking but often don’t have the time. KTN creates opportunities to make that easier.” As well as generating ideas and supporting innovation KTN is also involved with testing new concepts in which the organisation takes
From all of that, it’s pretty clear what is the sense and purpose in this new organisation and we know they’re going to be playing a significant role at Advanced Engineering UK and so we also wanted to know why KTN has chosen to host Future Enablers at Advanced Engineering UK 2014. Dr Welch was very clear on this one. “We are careful about what shows we go to and we see in Advanced Engineering UK a concentrated

opportunity to meet more of the people we need to meet and to effect an infusion and diffusion of knowledge. There is a sense of innovation about the whole event and it provides an opportunity for people to see new ideas and be inspired by them. We’ve taken a nice sized space with display podiums in which companies interested in being there can display their new developments plus
we will have interactive areas. These will cover a lot of the new technologies with which KTN is associated… printed, plastic, and organic electronics; the future of the electronics industry and graphene; and other technologies such as energy harvesting. We hope that the whole thing will inspire the main sectors at the show. And, of course, we’ll be hosting the forums with Innovate
UK – which was the Technology Strategy Board.” There is no doubt that this will inspire other sectors at the show and learning about KTN its aims and objectives and the role it will be playing at Advanced Engineering UK 2014 certainly inspired us. We’re very much looking forward to KTN’s presence at the show and the Future Enabler events.

40 | SHARING IN GROWTH
Sharing in Growth And sharing the opportunities for high value aerospace manufacturing now and in the future
Rolls-Royce
UK aerospace is number one in Europe and global number two. Its world class capabilities in the manufacture of some of the most sophisticated and high value parts for modern aircraft has created a high-tech and high-skill industry of 3,000 companies and 230,000 employees in the UK which, in turn, creates massive economic benefits.
Looking to the future The Aerospace Industry is expected to double in size over the next ten years, supplying a forecast 27,000 new passenger aircraft and 40,000 commercial helicopters by 2030. To capitalise on this growth opportunity, suppliers need to constantly invest in their ability to deliver competitive performance. Supporting this, Sharing in Growth UK Ltd was set up in 2012 specifically to deliver a £110M programme of intensive supplier development over five years to 30 to 40 UK suppliers. The main funding support for this ambitious and innovative programme has come from a successful Regional Growth Fund application.
Training The Regional Growth Fund (RGF) funding will be used to hire the highest quality external training providers to deliver the training required to improve the competitiveness of the participating company. Through the programme, there will be an agreed training plan for each participating company tailored to their individual needs. The vast majority of the costs to the participating company will be the costs of the time of the individuals participating in the classroom and
skills development training, including NVQ’s etc. A typical four year programme is anticipated to be around £1 million of funded training, which would be matched by the participating company’s in-kind contribution. So, the prime eligible company costs will be the time of the individuals receiving and undertaking the training but other costs, such as travel expenses, materials, supplies, etc. are also eligible. Sharing in Growth is intensive, holistic, and long-term. It covers all aspects of the company’s business. • Lean Production System; • Manufacturing Capability; • Supply Management; • Value Improvement; • Company Strategy & Finance; • Leadership. Moreover, the programme involves on-the-job training, designed to address real issues in a business. The participating company is fully supported by a team of specialists throughout the programme. However, excellent though the training will be, it’s not just another training programme; rather, it is a whole company transformation programme, including strategy, leadership, and communication; underpinned by a long-term training program at all levels within the business. Looking to the future, a typical programme is expected to last for four years. The first three months will include a whole business diagnostic process, coupled with leadership training and business strategy workshops, resulting in a bespoke training plan to address the participating company’s barriers to growth. The majority of
www.sig-uk.org 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
the training is then delivered in years 1 and 2, while years 3 and 4 of the programme focus on sustaining and embedding the improvements in skills and capability with support from industry specialists. In the context of the development of skills across the whole business, Sharing in Growth is complimentary to foundation programs such as SC21. Those who have grown through that programme and are ready to continue their growth should send an Expression of Interest (EOI) form to the SiG programme. The form can be obtained on the Sharing in Growth website at www.sig-uk.org.
An open opportunity Even a business that has benefited from other grant funded schemes will still be eligible to apply for Sharing in Growth (SiG) so long as it meets the criteria – also available on the website. And the programme doesn’t only apply to businesses manufacturing components for the civil aerospace industry: suppliers manufacturing for the Defence aerospace industry are also eligible. Finally, there is no maximum revenue limit for supplier participating in the programme. In fact, Sharing in Success is a programme that seeks to include as many companies as possible, large or small, with capabilities or potential relevant to aerospace. The idea is to harness all of the UK’s talent in this area towards maintaining the country’s position not only today but, more importantly, in the future global aerospace market, and that is an idea well worth sharing.

Their skills and capabilities will be applicable across a range of engineering sectors as is evident from their Show Guide entries. More control and better simulation: VERICUT 7.3 from CG Tech CGTech has a new version of its VERICUT machine tool simulation, verification and feed rate optimisation software. Version 7.3 enables improved simulations of all types of CNC machining, including aerospace processes such as multi axis milling, drilling and trimming of composite parts, water jet cutting, robotic and mill/turn machining. VERICUT is used to simulate CNC machine tools from all leading brands such as Makino, Starrag, Heller, Matsuura, DMG MORI and Mazak. CGTech’s latest version of VERICUT will aid a wide range of simulation projects such as: a large onepiece fuselage barrel on an Electroimpact multimachine AFP fabrication cell; and a U-channel structure on a 7-axis mTorres AFP machine. One other improvement in this version is VERICUT drilling and fastening, designed for simulating and programming auto-drilling and fastening machines. These machines are used to assemble large aerostructures, and it is essential to avoid programming errors and collisions at such a late stage in the aircraft manufacturing process. VERICUT 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 module interfaces to leading CAD/CAM/ PLM systems and is independent of the assembly machine manufacturer.
Discover more financial benefits at Automotive Engineering UK Engineering firms are being warned they are missing out on major tax breaks available to them, but the financial services supplier Chantrey Vellacott is looking to help them. Firms entitled to claim back thousands of pounds of research and development (R&D) tax reductions are missing a trick due to a lack of knowledge of the tax system according to Steven Levine, who is head of R&D at Chantrey Vellacott. Levine says that while many sectors have been able to take advantage of successful claims for the innovation behind production and processes of a multitude of products and services, many manufacturing and engineering firms are largely being left behind. “Engineering is a traditional and well proven trade, and because of this there is a tendency for R&D to be overlooked as a means of tax reduction. Simply, companies just don’t think it applies to them,” he believes.
“The reality is, however, that technical improvements and innovation in engineering techniques, new processes and modern new materials being used even where there is an element of reverse engineering all create potential to claim for R&D tax credits. “Our R&D team includes experienced engineers and recently met with a precision engineering company that had no idea they were eligible for a claim. “Our engineers were quickly able to identify qualifying projects and prepared a technical report to submit to HMRC along with a fully costed claim prepared by our accountants. Within 30 days they received a corporation tax refund of around £60,000. “This is not an isolated case. There are hundreds of engineering firms, particularly SMEs that are missing out on funds they could reinvest in further projects and expansion, and support the recovery of the sector and UK economy.” Chantrey Vellacott is also partnering with Bloodhound SSC to provide advice and support to suppliers behind the groundbreaking project about the benefits of R&D tax credits. “The Bloodhound Project is at the forefront of UK manufacturing and everyone at Chantrey Vellacott is thrilled to be partnering with the team,” states Levine.
Delcam confirms involvement in GKN Aerospace-led consortium Delcam is to play a key supporting role in an additive manufacturing project called Horizon, led by GKN Aerospace. The 3.5-year program, worth £13.4 million, will build on GKN’s capabilities in the area and aim to push boundaries of the technology. The Horizon (AM) team includes GKN Aerospace, Renishaw, Delcam, and the Universities of Sheffield and Warwick. The programme is backed by the UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) and funded jointly by industry and the UK Government’s Technology Strategy Board (TSB). The project is part of a major investment of £154 million in research projects to keep the UK as a world leader in aerospace innovation that was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, during his visit to 2014 Farnborough International Air Show. Horizon (AM) will take a number of promising additive manufacturing (AM) techniques from research and development through to viable production processes, able to create components that could be as much as 50 per cent lighter than their conventional counterparts, with complex geometries that cannot be manufactured cost
www.advancedengineeringuk.com 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
effectively today. These new processes will unlock innovations in low-drag, high-performance wing designs and in lighter, even more efficient engine systems – and lead to dramatic reductions in aircraft fuel consumption and emissions. The programme will focus initially on using AM techniques to create near-net shape parts which require minimal subsequent machining. This will dramatically improve the ‘buy-to-fly’ ratio of the parts by reducing the considerable cost in time and material wastage associated with the conventional machining of metal forgings or billets. With material wastage as high as 90 per cent for some parts, a significant reduction here will also provide major environmental benefits. Within the project, Delcam will work with GKN Aerospace on an integrated solution to combine additive and subtractive technologies seamlessly. This approach will allow companies to benefit from both the geometrical freedom offered by AM and the surface finish and accuracy that is possible with subtractive manufacturing.
WMG highlights its R&D plans WMG has a long history of delivering major projects in collaboration with industry and government, and visitors to Advanced Engineering UK 2014 will have the opportunity to find out more. The group continues to grow with a number of exciting new capital projects which are currently in development stages.

Funding future success The National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) aims to help small but innovative businesses to succeed in the Aero Engineering supply chain Peter Dunwell
The UK, as readers will be aware, hosts the world’s second largest and Europe’s largest aerospace sector. But, of course, those dominant positions can never be taken for granted. There will always be competitors vying to take part of the UK’s business in this sector and that threat is a particular issue for businesses further down the supply chain. Alert to the need for every business in the sector and supply chain to stay at the forefront of this technologically demanding sector, the National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) is a £40m technology development programme derived from a bid by the Aerospace Growth Partnership to the Government’s Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative (AMSCI).
What is NATEP? Managed by ADS, NATEP is delivered throughout the UK by the following organisations…
• ADS; • Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC); • The Midlands Aerospace Alliance (MAA); • The Northwest Aerospace Alliance (NWAA); • The West of England Aerospace Forum (WEAF); • Aerospace Wales Forum; • Invest Northern Ireland. The AGP has developed NATEP aimed at small and medium sized suppliers to help them develop their own innovative technologies to enhance their capabilities and increase their ability to win new business with higher tier companies anywhere in the world. This builds on the successful regional technology programme (ATEP) run in the Midlands by Midlands Aerospace alliance in 2006-2012. By developing a supply chain with a high rate of innovation, rich in new technologies the UK will be better able to offer the right products and services, at the right time and ahead of the competition. This will ensure that market opportunities are exploited with high value manufacturing work retained in the UK. The Government’s Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative (AMSCI) provides the
www.natep.org.uk 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
opportunity to take this forward. NATEP offers a structured process to encourage exploit and position product and manufacturing technologies emanating ‘bottom up’ from UK aerospace supply chain. It also funds new technologies for partnerships of supply chain companies – with customer participation and solves existing market failures in supply chain communication, supplier R&D and management capability, in addition to funding.
A £40 million programme NATEP will be running a £40 million programme to mature 100 aerospace technologies and create jobs in the supply chain. The programme aims to deliver novel technologies through collaborative partnerships. Over 100 projects will be funded at a grant rate of up to £150k per project. Each project will typically involve two or three companies plus a mentoring non-funded prime or Tier 1 company; the potential customer for the end product. Projects are expected to last for up to 18 months. The programme works because NATEP’s unique system of both funding and industry mentoring gives smaller companies free access
to end user input into design criteria, targeted market needs information and assistance with platform level validation and crucially, additional exploitation routes.
Some questions answered Given the importance of this programme and the high degree of interest among businesses with the capabilities to work with it, we thought we’d find out more about it. The best way to do that was to meet Jeff Taylor, Programme Director for NATEP, who is keen to get information about the funding out to a wider audience and believes that the 2014 Aero Engineering Show within the Advanced Engineering UK group of events offers a great opportunity for potential project partners to meet with and hear the first-hand experiences of companies currently receiving NATEP funding and support. To that end, NATEP will be represented at the show by… • ADS – STAND B57; • North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) – STAND A17; • West of England Aerospace Forum (WEAF) – STAND B101; • Midlands Aerospace Alliance (MAA) – STAND B51. Our first question for Mr Taylor considered the NATEP objective ‘to deliver 100 novel technologies through collaborative projects within the UK aerospace supply chain’. Are there, we wondered, any matching plans to tap into, forge links with or collaborate with other supply chains in advanced engineering sectors? “Whilst we have not attempted to make any formal connections with other sectors,” he explained, “companies from any sector can bid to the NATEP programme provided the technology to be supported has, or could have, a potential application in the Civil Aerospace sector.” He then added, “The other way around, we also support aerospace technologies which have applications in other sectors.” We next asked what programmes are used in helping Aerospace supply chain companies develop their own innovative technologies, and at the same time enhance their technology management capabilities. Is it, for instance, LEAN management or another programme or programmes? Mr Taylor explained that he was, “not aware of other programmes that do the same as NATEP, at least in the aerospace sector. NATEP seeks to fill this market failure.” Even with a programme as good as this, businesses will always need to know how long they can plan for it to be available. So we wondered what would happen when the three year NATEP programme ends; what plans are in place to ensure that the capabilities introduced to small and medium sized suppliers will remain and continue to be developed? Mr Taylor’s response was encouraging. “We are working actively to identify funding for a continuation of the programme beyond 2017 – NATEP 2.” That is the kind of continuity that businesses prefer. Having asked a few questions of our own, we thought it only fair to ask Mr Taylor whether there were any other matters that he’d like to mention to readers an attendees at the Aero Engineering Show 2014. His response was to the point and the point is one of which readers will want to take note. “Please remind readers,” he concluded, “that they have two more opportunities to bid into the current programme. Call 4 has the deadline of 18th December 2014; while call 5 has the of deadline 14th May 2015.” Two dates which we have no doubt will be firmly fixed in the diaries of businesses that believe that they have the skills and or the technology to add real value to the UK Aerospace supply chain.

Midlands Aerospace Alliance Supporting a supply chain with provenance and a history of distinction John Hancock
What the MAA is and what it does The Midlands Aerospace Alliance (MAA) is designed to bring together Midlands engineering businesses in the UK aerospace supply chain. It’s a flourishing sector with UK aerospace ranking second in the world and first in Europe. It is also a sector focused on quality, working to the highest engineering standards to ensure that UK sourced aircraft and components perform efficiently and safely in the most demanding of operational environments, civil and military aviation. Midlands’ aero engineering businesses start out with notable advantages. “The English Midlands” says Dr Andrew Mair, Chief Executive, Midlands Aerospace Alliance, “has a long and honourable engineering provenance. The location is superb with convenient access to multiple supply chains and technology influences and, of course, all of that has supported an exceptionally high quality, skilled and experienced workforce. We’re proud of and confident in our engineering provenance both in a long tradition being at the heart of the
nation’s manufacturing and engineering sector and in the diversity of capabilities to which our members have access.” As far as those members are concerned, the MAA’s role is to help them generate new business, invest in new technology and improve their manufacturing performance so as to retain and grow high-value aerospace activities in the region for the long term. Beyond that, the MAA plays a role in the regional, national and international aerospace community by weaving a collective, collaborative thread of activity where that adds value to the industry. The alliance also acts as a bridge between the wider engineering community and the aerospace industry. It encourages diversification into the sector by Midlands companies with capabilities that can make a real difference to aerospace, by contributing to initiatives on shared issues like skills and training. On a national level and with regards to the national policy of rebalancing towards
www.midlandsaerospace.org.uk xxxxxxxxxx 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
manufacturing, MAA has contributed by playing a very active role on behalf of members in the National Aerospace Growth Partnership since its start in 2010, to ensure that smaller manufacturers have a voice and that policy designed to promote manufacturing is well designed and targeted; especially for smaller companies in the supply chain.
Current programmes The big current aircraft programmes for the Midlands are Airbus’s A380 and A350 and Boeing’s 787, together with the Eurofighter Typhoon. The Midlands makes engines and/or major mechanical systems for all these aircraft through companies like Rolls-Royce, UTC Aerospace Systems and Moog Aircraft Group. Many member companies are also contributing to the Bombardier CSeries either directly with Bombardier or via Pratt and Whitney on the GTF engines. Still others have won sometimes-lessvisible high volume work on the A320, including
MIDLANDS AEROSPACE ALLIANCE | 47
the A320neo, and on the GE/Snecma engines that will power both the Boeing 737 Max and the A320neo. And when it comes to the Typhoon, more than 70 MAA members support manufacturing or the aircraft in service.
Securing the future Making sure that Midlands aerospace businesses continue to win orders in future programmes is all about investing in new capability and new capacity. Many companies are gaining confidence from the current positive outlook for aircraft orders and are investing in new factories, new equipment and new people. And the MAA is working hard with them, through NATEP (National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme) for instance, to encourage companies that have perhaps not previously considered themselves innovative to embark on R&D projects so they can exploit new technologies. MAA did some analysis recently to try to understand the sheer scale of the current aircraft order backlogs. They calculated that “if all five million working age Midlanders did nothing at all but work in aircraft factories, it would take them three solid years to get through the Airbus and Boeing order books, at a rate of fifteen aircraft a day.” is how Dr Mair explains it. In that context, what is unnerving many industry insiders is that they struggle to see the downside of the current boom. The sheer scale of it implies that current production levels could survive the kinds of shocks that have caused downturns in recent decades. “But ten years out?” opines Dr Mair, “That’s more difficult to know.”
National and sector perspectives Looking at NATEP and its parent body the Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP), the MAA has been represented on most of the key AGP working groups to help inject a supply chain perspective into the partnership’s thinking. Because the AGP has largely been an open process the MAA has been able to do that with some success. NATEP came about from the AGP supply chain working group’s desire to ensure that R&D investment was encouraged along the whole supply chain. The MAA was instrumental in developing and securing funding for NATEP because it had the experience of running the Midlands programme on which it was based. Now the MAA is playing its part in setting up the 100 new technology projects that supply chain companies will be delivering, alongside ADS, the other regional aerospace alliances, and the devolved administrations in Northern Ireland and Wales. And they haven’t given up on Scotland. Looking outside of the sector for partnership opportunities and cross fertilisation of engineering capabilities, the MAA has had productive meetings in the past with colleagues from the rail and motorsport sectors, which members have welcomed. But, in general, the MAA isn’t very active in cross sector work in terms of encouraging diversification outside aerospace because it sees its job as being to use its aerospace expertise to support diversification
into the sector. The alliance has plenty on its plate We asked Dr Mair whether there are any at present trying to bring as much high value changes to the manufacturing process that MAA aerospace business into the region as possible. members are trying or pioneering. While he didn’t want to comment on specifics in terms of new manufacturing processes at the moment, he was The government’s contribution Industry and the current government have worked able to tell us that, “NATEP is already throwing hard to create a model of partnership and funding up some brilliant new ideas and innovations for that can be non-partisan and take at least a advances in manufacturing processes as well as medium-term perspective. The personal view product technologies, so I think that this time next of Dr Mair is that, “it is more important at present year there will be a lot more to say.” to ensure this is really embedded across into the next parliament of whatever colour. The Aero Engineering 2014 opposition has been supportive in principle, and So, to conclude, what will be the principal benefits is a traditional strong supporter of manufacturing, to be gained by MAA members from a cross sector but I think many of us won’t be fully reassured event such as Advanced Engineering UK 2014? until after the 2015 election. That is more important We’ll let Dr Mair have the last word. “Many MAA than new initiatives at this point. In fact initiative- members work in aerospace and other sectors itis is to be avoided if possible. For example, every day. We know that on average half their we already need to be thinking about embedding business is in other industries. So while we in the NATEP through planning for a NATEP 2 or we MAA focus largely on the aerospace side of their risk a funding gap in late 2015 just as the businesses, to them it is natural to think more programme is getting the full attention of many broadly, and that’s part of what makes this show supply chain companies.” attractive to them.”

North West Aerospace Alliance A successful sector; never complacent and looking to the future Peter Dunwell
The NWAA: for members and in a wider engineering world The North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA) represents and supports the aerospace industry across the North West of England. It represents approximately 25% of the UK aerospace industry with over 240 member companies employing some 26,000 high value adding jobs and with a combined turnover in excess of £7 billion. “The North West of England has an excellent pedigree with a history of over 100 years of aerospace in the region and the proven ability to design and manufacture over 100 different types of aircraft.” says David Bailey, Chief Executive Officer, North West Aerospace Alliance. He continues, “Many countries around the world would like to take our position in this sector. There is an opportunity for industry to invest to secure our position and, with Government investing alongside, keep us there.”
As a regional trade association, NWAA represents a range of stakeholders (industry, academia, services) in the aerospace sector with the mission ‘To provide a fully integrated support structure for North West Aerospace companies.’ It does so through three core activities – promote, shape, develop. The NWAA promotes the industry and its members at national and international events and exhibitions such as Farnborough and Paris International Air Shows. The alliance is responsible for shaping the industry through strategic thinking and by influencing national policy through processes such as the Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP) – a UK Government and Industry partnership to define the UK’s Aerospace Strategy. The NWAA helps develop the cluster through supplier and supply chain development programmes such as Aerospace Supply Chain Excellence, GAMMA, and NATEP.
www.aerospace.co.uk xxxxxxxxxx 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
As one of the four regional aerospace alliances NWAA is a member of the Federation of UK Aerospace and Defence Associations which also includes the national trade bodies (ADS, ADS Northern Ireland, ADS Scotland and Aerospace Wales Forum). The National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) is the first project to be delivered by a collaboration of the Federation signatories. Many NWAA members, especially in lower tiers of the supply chain, work across industry sectors and will have a wide portfolio of customers from the aerospace, defence, oil & gas and nuclear industries. “The alliance works,” as Mr Bailey explains, “with a number of organisations in our region representing other industry sectors (for example the North West Automotive Alliance and the Nuclear Skills Academy). This ensures that we understand whether there are common issues in terms of skills and technology
NORTH WEST AEROSPACE ALLIANCE | 49
Alliance, West of England Aerospace Forum and Farnborough Aerospace Consortium) contracted to deliver the NATEP Programme. “The benefit of this approach,” he adds, “is that the RAA’s are able to offer a standard approach to supporting aerospace companies with technology funding across England. Through NATEP, NWAA is supporting companies in the North West of England to develop good ideas, business cases and then to deliver great projects that result in business benefit.” In truth, the UK civil aerospace sector is struggling with a lack of capacity at the current time, driven by programme rate increases. As such there is no real pressure for aerospace companies to look outside the sector. However, looking to the future, Mr Bailey tells us that “NWAA is encouraging its members to consider the benefits of diversification (particularly in the lower tiers) into sectors such as nuclear and autonomous systems.”
that can be grouped together in a single strategy for ‘advanced manufacturing’ or indeed if there are important differences that need to be covered separately.” Through the Aerospace Growth Partnership and the Defence Growth Partnership, both industry and government have demonstrated significant commitment to the future of advanced engineering and manufacturing in the UK. NWAA supports the development of new initiatives such as the enterprise zones at both Samlesbury and Warton which have the potential to act as a catalyst for advanced engineering in the North West of England. The alliance also supports the premise of a UK industrial policy to rebalance the economy to manufacturing and especially export markets. Furthermore, the recent interest in the potential for re-shoring indicates that UK aerospace companies are becoming increasingly competitive.
Programmes for the present The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Lightning II is a really important aircraft programme for the North West of England. The F-35 programme places the North West at the forefront of fighter technology, giving the Royal Air Force a true multi-role capability, able to operate from well-established land bases or the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers. With eight international partners, the F-35 is a truly global program and the largest defence programme in the world. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor but the UK is the only Level 1 partner with the United States. BAE Systems, based at Samlesbury near Preston, is responsible for the production of each and every rear fuselage and tails set, crew escape and fuel systems amounting to some 10% of the total work share. Over the next 20 years some 3,500 aircraft will be built with a corresponding in-service supportability programme over the next 50 years. To ensure BAE Systems remains competitive and affordable it is reliant on a number of aerospace companies in the North West’s airframe supply chain to demonstrate agility, responsiveness and capability to deliver current demands. Furthermore, the North West’s airframe supply chain must develop the capability to plan and execute the anticipated rate of climb from 40 to 180+ aircraft sets per year. A North West based airframe supply chain is clearly beneficial to BAE Systems in providing a close coupled solution. However, that supply chain has to be world competitive and there are many competing international solutions.
Future outlook It is very important that aerospace companies in the North West of England, position themselves for future aircraft programmes. They have to get; • The right skills; • The right infrastructure; • The right technologies; • The right performance (quality and delivery); and, importantly… • The right price
Could government help?
David Bailey, CEO, North West Aerospace Alliance
Looking forward, the civil aerospace market is well defined by both AIRBUS and Boeing for the next 20 years with 5% year-on-year growth and a requirement for 29,000 new aircraft worth over $4 Trillion. The defence market has been impacted by austerity budgets, although recent NATO pledge from countries to meet the obligation to spend 2% of GDP on defence provides a more positive market view. That said, Mr Bailey counsels against complacency: “I still believe we will see the effects of the business cycle and also of international events in that time frame.” He adds; “The North West companies that will secure positions in future aircraft programmes are the ones who make the right strategic decisions now and then make the appropriate investment in time and resources to put the right capability and technologies in place. North West companies also need to build collaborations with global partners that can provide lower-cost solutions to support the competitiveness targets and customer offset requirements.” Companies in the North West that are committed to programmes such as SC21, Sharing in Growth and NATEP are the ones that are likely to meet the requirements for future aircraft programmes.
On the national scene and sector fields
Government support will provide the increased certainty the supply chain needs to invest and develop a highly competitive aerospace and defence capability that will create high value manufacturing jobs for the future. “The F-35 programme provides an opportunity for industry to invest to secure the North West’s position as a leading airframe supply chain and, with Government investing alongside, keep us there.” Mr Bailey confirms, and continues; “Government support will provide the increased certainty the supply chain needs to invest and develop a highly competitive aerospace and defence capability that will create high value manufacturing jobs for the future.” He expands that by explaining that a competitive North West airframe supply chain delivering customer value will also secure the future of F-35 manufacturing at the BAE Systems Samlesbury site for the next 20 years– a key UK strategic asset. But NWAA members are not resting on their laurels. As with any businesses, they face constant pressure to reduce costs and to meet rate readiness requirements, some of which can be achieved through productivity improvement but some of this may only be achieved through new manufacturing processes. Organisations are investigating the impact of switching from subtractive manufacturing process to additive manufacturing processes such as additive layer and friction welding.
Aero Engineering 2014
On that note, it seemed appropriate to let Mr Bailey close, explaining what benefits he expects “We’re represented on the AGP Supply Chain his members to derive from their involvements Working Group and contribute through the with Advanced Engineering UK 2014. “Advanced knowledge and experience gained in the delivery Engineering UK 2014 offers our members the of over £20 Million of supply chain improvement opportunity to showcase their capabilities to programmes such as Aerospace Supply Chain customers from a range of industry sectors at Excellence, GAMMA and the National Aerospace one event.” was his response, concluding, “The Technology Programme.” says Mr Bailey.

How clean are your industrial work gloves?
It’s probably something that you never thought about before, right? It’s certainly a conversation stopper at parties, but something very serious on a professional level. Gloves come out of the packet, so they have to be clean. No-one has ever used them before, so if I use a new pair of gloves every time they must be ok, mustn’t they? Don’t take this for granted as a lot of the gloves today contain residual chemicals left in the glove from the production process.
The cleanliness issue The problem is quite widespread - so say studies by the Institute of Occupational Medicine (BGFA) at the Ruhr University in Bochum (Germany), and the Danish Technological Institute for the Environment. The BGFA found that 45% of the leather gloves tested positive to Chromium (VI) impurities, despite the fact that most modern tanning agents are free from large amounts of Chromium (VI). Likewise, the Danish Technological Institute for the Environment found 35% of the leather gloves tested contained Chromium (VI) in levels above the acceptable parts per million (PPM) guides for harmful ingredients. If I stop using leather gloves and only use synthetic gloves will everything be OK? The simple and direct answer to that is NO. You always need to check any glove you’re using, even if it is from one of the large, well known manufacturers. Extra
attention should be given if you are evaluating polyurethane (PU) gloves, to make sure the parts per million of DMF and THF are respected. So what should I look for?
Suitable gloves There are three important elements to be considered when choosing suitable gloves relating to the way they are produced, how clean they are when they come out of the packet and the dermatological aspect for continual use.
Production processes REACH® is the European Union has adopted a regulation in the spirit of protecting human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. Ask your current supplier about the companies obligations towards this regulation to see what they have done and if you currently use ATG® gloves rest assured there are no Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in any of our gloves.
Out of the packet cleanliness Oeko-Tex® is the international testing and certification system for textiles, limiting the use of certain chemicals. It has become established as a safety standard throughout the textile manufacturing chain and enables checks to be made for any harmful substances at each stage in the production process. This Oeko-Tex® label is a good indicator of product cleanliness as it comes out of the packet.
Dermatological aspect As professional work gloves are going to be on the skin for long periods of time, day in, ay out, the dermatological aspect has to be taken into consideration. Think of it another way. Why would you pay for something to go on your hand that is going to damage your health? Unfortunately this is the case for many gloves users today, but it doesn’t have to be you or your workforce. It’s essential to check if the gloves are dermatologically accredited - and don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the more expensive they are, or the larger the company they come from, the cleaner they will be.
How can ATG® help? You can choose from our focused range with the confidence that ALL our gloves are Dermatologically Accredited. Additionally, they are manufactured in our own factories in accordance with the REACH® European Community Regulation on chemicals (EC 1907/2006), and are yearly tested and in accordance with the Oeko-Tex® 100 standard. We are also ISO 9001 certified and ISO 14001 accreditation. To learn more about our gloves, visit: www.atg-glovesolutions.com

which will allow the industry to prosper. These propulsion-based technologies often have synergies with other sectors, such as aerospace and marine, and so the APC offers the opportunity to transfer these technologies. Intelligent mobility also presents opportunities for cross-collaboration with other engineering areas, as much of the technology being used in this field is already present in other areas, such as telecoms and electronic engineering. SMMT recognises that nurturing relationships with partners from these sectors will play a crucial part in fast-tracking the development of intelligent mobility in our industry. SMMT is central to these developments, acting as a hub for collaboration and knowledgesharing across sectors, supporting the long-term objectives of the automotive industrial strategy.

The Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) Engineering excellence at the edge of what is possible and in the vanguard for change Peter Dunwell Formula E
The past five years have seen an unprecedented boom in sales turnover for the motorsport industry and for MIA members. Far from feeling a negative impact from the economic crash, motorsport businesses, who went into the downturn with some caution, have invested well and thrived through what could have been difficult times. What is more, the Government has now shown a great deal of interest in England’s ‘Motorsport Valley’, that area centred on Silverstone in Northamptonshire and stretching down to Oxfordshire and Surrey which is home to most of the top flight motor racing teams. It’s all of a piece with the national objective to maintain the UK’s position at the top of the advanced engineering tree. Having a tight supply chain grouped around a finite and easily accessed area is what all sectors want and it’s what Motorsport Valley offers. McKinsey describes Motorsport Valley as one of the best business clusters in the country. Motorsport businesses have a lot to offer in a number of industrial sectors and, as Chris Aylett, CEO of the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) told us, “have begun to collaborate with other industries, which is where their future successes will lie.”
Engineering brilliance and capability Interestingly, it was the presence of aerospace engineers in the area after World War Two, with no outlet for their mastery of light weight aircraft construction and with long flat runways on which to test their engineering, that first brought racing car teams to the area. Now, things have come full circle with aerospace being just one industry that values what motorsport businesses can bring to an engineering project. Motorsport is an unusual business for the engineering sector because, as Mr Aylett explains,” it makes it money by entertaining people through

It’s called the ‘valley of death’ referring to UK invention, research and development being excellent at proving a concept to what is known as ‘Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3; but UK business is not so good at taking those ideas through the steps (TRL 4-7) needed to make them capable of profitable manufacture. Rapid prototyping The unique nature of motorsport and the What motorsport businesses can offer in a pressures it creates have meant that businesses collaborative model with other industries and in the sector need to be able to get ideas from engineers is their engineering capability to take TRL1 to TRL7 rapidly, often between races, and so, ideas from concept to prototype in days rather while they don’t actually manufacture themselves, than years. This is an area in which UK firms have they do ‘make’ things and their skills can help

MIA | 55
other engineering organisations to get through that valley of death. This has been of immense value to businesses making, for instance, defence vehicles which need to be developed to meet ever changing threats. So, when new vehicles were required to withstand improvised explosive devices in war theatres, it would not have been acceptable to have gone through a three year development programme to bring new vehicles to the manufacturing stage. Motorsport businesses were able to bring their fast development expertise to bear on the challenge. This unique capability to solve incredibly challenging engineering problems in a finite time is of great value to all sorts of engineering businesses – the faster a solution to a problem can be found, the sooner you can get on to the next challenge.
Really green engineering Motorsport businesses are also amongst the ‘greenest’ in the engineering world. “The first motor race,” explains Mr Aylett, “was won by the man who used his energy most efficiently.” So, motorsport businesses have more than a hundred years of experience in efficiency whether that is energy efficiency, low carbon efficiency, aerodynamic efficiency or electrical efficiency. These are capabilities that are in demand by automotive engineering but also in all sorts of other high-tech arenas… for instance, motorsport businesses are currently assisting Ben Ainsley and the UK’s America’s Cup team. Currently, the industry is developing a fully electric race series (Formula E). The inaugural season will be contended over 10 rounds during September 2014 to June 2015. The first race, in Beijing, was won by Lucas di Grassi driving an Audi Sport ABT. The second round will be held at Putrajaya in Malaysia on 22 November 2014. This is a long-term programme with the intention, as Mr Aylett puts it, “to appeal to generation 2, tomorrow’s generation.” Importantly, all 10 teams contesting the series are based in Motorsport Valley. It isn’t only Formula E or the rapidly advancing KERS (kinetic energy recovery system) technology used in F1 that motorsport is contributing to the latest energy efficient hybrid vehicles but it is efficiency at every level. The Le Mans 24 hour race might be best known for its glamour but the cars that compete and win are the most important element in the event. Le Mans and endurance racing attracts OEMs from automotive engineering and manufacture because it pushes the envelope of efficiency up to and beyond the capabilities of current technology. And it’s a great British engineering export. Every transmission in this year’s Le Mans 24 Hour race was British, made in Motorsport Valley.
engineering. Motorsport puts a lot into the UK economy in a number of ways. F1 alone employs 5,500 people and accounts for some £2.5bn of business in a sector generating £9bn each year. The sector also runs numerous apprenticeship schemes and collaborates with universities and colleges to train the engineers of tomorrow. A valuable UK business cluster Complex lightweight structures, rapid prototyping In fact, UK motorsport exports 80% of its and energy efficiency: is it any wonder that engineering with the largest market being the motorsport businesses and their capabilities USA where both the NASCAR and Indie Car are in high demand across the engineering and series are heavily dependent on UK motorsport manufacturing sectors?

Seeking innovators for future success Magna International believes that being ahead of the innovation game will bring success in the automotive supply chain John Hancock
Swamy Kotagiri
New to the Automotive Engineering Show for 2014 will be Magna International, the world’s third largest supplier to the automotive sector and a leading provider of game changing technology and innovation within the automotive industry. As well as representing a significant component in the global automotive supply chain, Magna is also a major innovator and investor in innovation. In this context, the firm’s posture at the show is to be an ‘open innovation exchange’. This will entail reaching out to and inviting UK innovators and leading edge technology businesses to talk with Magna about how they could potentially work together. Magna wishes to demonstrate their openness to external innovation; specifically looking to work with ground-breaking, innovator companies, with the possibility of investing in a technology, licencing a technology or entering into a joint venture with a technology. Senior people from Magna, including Swamy Kotagiri (Chief Technology Officer, Magna International), will be available to meet potential partners or simply to discuss possibilities and feasibility. To establish the landscape for such dialogue, Magna will use a keynote speaker slot on Day 1 to talk about their market perspective. Given the importance of this, we felt Show Guide readers would find it useful to gain some insight into Magna and its thinking. So we went to meet Swamy Kotagiri and ask him a few questions about Magna and its world view... starting by asking how do developments in automotive technology impact on businesses in the supply chain, i.e. the challenge of matching different OEMs’ technical advances and priorities? “It is important,” said Mr Kotagiri, “for suppliers to know their customers and the market. From Magna’s perspective, our customers share product strategy and technology development roadmaps that allow us to plan technologies
and innovation to align with their future needs, both technically and regionally. Each OEM approaches this differently and Magna adapts to each process.” That sensible response suggested the further question as to in what ways have the needs of automotive OEMs changed in the past ten years? After a moment’s thought, Mr Kotagiri responded, “Globalization and the increasing of global platforms is one of the biggest changes we have seen within the past ten years. Challenges in fuel economy and emissions legislation as well as customer dynamics have also changed the industry like never before. In addition, the rapid application of electronics on vehicles and increases in functions means the vehicle is now far more complex than it was ten years ago. All of these changes lead to opportunities for suppliers like Magna that can deliver game-changing technologies to the global marketplace.” Given that innovation and change are so integral to the automotive sector, we wondered whether ideas and innovations tend to come down from the automotive OEMs or rise up from suppliers. “OEM’s,” Mr Kotagiri suggested, “challenge their top suppliers to be the providers of innovation within their specific product fields. This adds to the innovation that the OEM’s engage in internally. To remain competitive, suppliers have to continually develop innovative products and technologies that add value to the OEM’s product portfolio. This plays to Magna’s advantage. We have the most diversified product portfolio, a
www.magna.com 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
large global footprint and a solid financial position that allows us to invest in R&D. With two thirds of vehicle content coming from suppliers, those who continue to add value to their OEM customers through innovation and quality will continue to be successful.” Looking beyond the ideas and innovations to some of the drivers of change, we asked Mr Katagiri whether changing regulations in areas such as safety and emissions are a challenge or are suppliers able to foresee what is coming. It is, he explained, “Both. Changing regulations do pose challenges for the global industry. Yet, suppliers like us are positioning themselves to deliver on what’s next. It’s one reason why we see more collaboration taking place, among automakers and suppliers with governments, universities and companies outside the auto industry. This type of collaboration has helped Magna identify the major megatrends that influence products (including demographics, legislation, active safety and fossil fuels, to name a few). In fact, we are currently looking out as far as 10-15 years to understand megatrends and their potential influence.” So, looking more closely at those trends, what, we asked, are likely to be the three most important developments in Auto Engineering in the next five years to ten years? Mr Kotagiri considered they would be, “First, semi-autonomous driving technology and the connected car; then, technology developments to address emissions, fuel economy and

But you have. 10 million cameras later, we can’t even imagine the number of rubbish bins, rose bushes, bicycles, skateboards, pets, cars and pedestrians that have appeared in the lenses of our EYERIS™ rearview camera systems. And we’re not finished yet. At Magna, we take great ideas and develop them from innovation to industry standard. We also know that great thinking happens outside our four walls, and that our ability to commercialise great ideas benefits inventors, entrepreneurs, customers, and ultimately all who share the road.

safety, and finally, the continued globalization of vehicle platforms.” On a more prosaic note, we thought readers would be interested to know at what stage in the development of a new car does a supplier such as Magna become involved in the process. “It varies, Mr Kotagiri explained, “with each OEM and vehicle programme, but it is often at the early proof of concept stage, before a vehicle application or platform has been identified. It also varies on the product. Involvement for powertrain would be much earlier than with the body architecture for example. Next, we asked what we all want to know; what will the car of the future look like and what will be the influences on that? “The car of the future, say 2025, will have significant active safety on board, as well as a level of connectivity to infrastructure, other vehicles and the cloud that will provide a seamless transition from home life to driving to office to commerce and to leisure.” Was how Mr Kotagiri first answered; adding, “Connectivity will be ‘always on’ and the vehicle people choose to drive will be a major part of it. Vehicles will change as Mega cities develop and personal transportation needs change. Comfort and convenience will mean different things with time away from driving and semi-autonomous driving giving time to engage in other activities while in a vehicle. Voice, gesture and human interface (HMI) controls will also become more sophisticated and intuitive. Vehicles of the future will use multi-material structures and powertrains that are smaller and more efficient; plus, there will be more aerodynamic systems and supply on demand systems. These are all things Magna’s R&D group is looking at to align future trends with our product portfolio and, from there, identify the unmet needs of the marketplace.” Still looking to the future but, perhaps, to the nearer term, what, as Magna sees it, are the further opportunities to save weight in vehicle construction and how will these affect design, production and performance? “The low-hanging fruit for weight reduction,” as Mr Kotagiri put it, “has been identified and many actions are in place to deliver these solutions, at least in the short term. For instance, Magna has recently introduced the first all-composite liftgate. In addition, we developed a multimaterial lightweight vehicle concept with Ford Motor Company. Weight is only one aspect that contributes to the goal of improving CO2 and fuel economy performance. There are other opportunities to continue to reduce weight, but it needs to be achieved at an affordable cost. In meeting the primary goal of CO2 reduction and fuel economy, all contributing technologies including powertrain developments must be considered and analysed for effectiveness and affordability. We believe powertrain technologies may take the lead in these contributions in the near to medium term.” Coming specifically to Magna’s objectives at the Automotive Engineering Show, we wanted to know how does a business such as Magna
drive and support innovation within the automotive sector. Our guest confirmed that, “Innovation is one of the three key priorities within Magna and championed by our CEO. We define innovation as commercialized invention. An invention is not an innovation unless it can be commercialized. Therefore, we have a dedicated R&D team supporting global product areas, looking at future mega trends, technology and scientific innovation. Through in-house research projects, acquisition of start-ups, technology licenses and collaborations with academia and technical institutes, Magna develops the next generation of product technologies for our OEM customers.” Feeling that we’d already gone a long way towards setting the scene for Magna’s presence at the Automotive Engineering Show, and having enjoyed a good amount of Mr Kotagiri’s time, we offered to let him close the meeting and article with a few words on any other matters in which Magna is involved or interested. “Magna is focused on three top priorities. Those include: innovation, world class manufacturing and people development. We have discussed innovation, but before we can produce an innovative product or solution, it starts with having a world class manufacturing environment. For Magna that means executing flawless launches and optimizing the design and cost from concept through production. World class manufacturing is a journey not a destination – it encompasses everything we do. It is a key element in providing value to our customer and being indispensable to them. From a people development stand point, it is important that we focus on this as we try to keep pace with the growth of the global automotive industry. In addition, developing our people is critical for succession planning.” With that, we had to part but we’ll certainly look forward to meeting the team from Magna at this year’s show and we’re sure that many other engineering supply chain businesses will be taking up their invitation.

McLaren marches on with its automotive division Taking the technology from its iconic Formula 1 vehicles and integrating it into road-going supercars is proving successful for McLaren John Challen
Up until very recently, most people would have associated the McLaren name with its successes in Formula 1; many recalling the iconic red and white – and latterly silver – livery on race and championship-winning race-cars. However, the arrival of McLaren Automotive – established in 2010 – has led to a range of supercars being launched, these coming nearly 20 years after the company’s first foray into road cars. Back in 1989, McLaren was known as McLaren Cars, and it produced the F1 between 1993 and 1998, before the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in 2003. When production of that vehicle stopped in 2009, it was
time to look in a new direction for the business. Both the F1 and the SLR pioneered the use of carbon composite body technology and active aerodynamics, and McLaren Automotive is committed to introducing ground-breaking levels of technology and performance in a more affordable category of the sports car market. The fruits of this vision came in 2011 with the unveiling of the McLaren MP4-12C, and many other models have followed, including the 650S, which takes pride of place at Advanced Engineering UK 2014. Much of the design, development and engineering work is completed at the McLaren Production Centre (MPC), a bespoke production
www.mclarenautomotive.com 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
facility, that enables the production of up to 20 McLaren sports cars a day and supports over 1350 direct jobs and many more indirectly in the local economy. McLaren Automotive returned to the International Geneva Motor Show this year with its fastest and most beautiful seriesproduction supercar yet. The McLaren 650S – launched at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year – is the most engaging, and best equipped series-production supercar in the brand’s range. Available as a fixed-head Coupé or as a Spider, with a retractable folding hard top, the McLaren 650S
aims to redefine the high-performance supercar segment, and, according to McLaren, “has been designed and developed to provide the ultimate in driver engagement on the road and on the race track”. “McLaren is an engineering-led company, and we’re proud of that,” says McLaren Automotive CEO, Mike Flewitt. “The new design gives important engineering and driver benefits. Yet it’s not just about improving the numbers. The McLaren 650S also dials up the design drama and driving excitement.” Key to the McLaren 650S is the fact that the everyday usability and capabilities offered by, and expected of, any McLaren model are not compromised. Despite the power and performance focus, the McLaren 650S boasts an extensive specification list, with an optimised powertrain, braking and suspension systems, as well as a refined and luxuriously equipped cabin. The car weighs 1330kg (dry) – 6kg lighter than the 12C. The quest for a car that is as light as possible has a major impact on a number of areas – including performance, economy and safety, and much has been borne from the company’s racing division. McLaren was the first Formula One team to introduce a carbon-fibre monocoque to it’s racing cars, and it has continued this technology throughout every one of its road cars. Weighing just 75kg, the innovative MonoCell forms the centre of the McLaren 650S and offers advantages in weight, torsional rigidity, durability, safety and quality. These factors are designed to add to the driving experience, while other technologies with links back to the company’s Formula 1 heritage include full wishbone suspension, mid-engine architecture, brake steer for enhanced agility, carbon ceramic disc brakes (standard on the McLaren 650S) and active aerodynamics. Aside from the cars, there is a concentration on other projects, and the future generation of engineers that will hopefully be part of the development of cars from McLaren Automotive in the future. The company is actively involved in STEM (the government-launched campaign to boost participation in science, technology, engineering and maths), with a number of its engineers being ambassadors, working with local schools and Universities to promote careers that can be achieved through studying STEM subjects. It also has intern and graduate programs that develop engineers through the early stages of their careers, and provide the opportunity to apply for Chartership.

A lightweight platform for innovation Far-UK launches a composites based structure as a platform for new vehicle and systems development John Hancock
A real innovation Far Composites have already made a name as innovative creators of lightweight structures and their Vehicles Systems Division had been approached by a number of vehicle makers for their expertise in building composites chassis and frames. That was a great compliment to the firm’s skills but each new structure had to be put through the full panoply of development and regulatory compliance, which meant that the cost was high. However, as it says above, Far is an innovative business and has come up with an idea that will revolutionise the automotive sector. It’s an offthe-shelf composite chassis and structure that vehicle builders can buy as a basis for their own constructions. The chassis will be at Advanced Engineering UK 2014 on literally, the day after its 10th November launch at nearby Nottingham University Energy Technology Building.
The ideas behind the idea
to Advanced Engineering UK will discover, and he was very happy to tell us more about the new development and what it will mean for the sector. The first thing we wanted to know about was how the new Far Platform Chassis (FPC) had come about. “The world is both looking for and in need of fuel efficient vehicles to be cost effective and to meet the increasing structure of regulations in the area.” Dr Lindsey explained, continuing. “We had received a lot of enquiries as to whether we would build a chassis for other vehicle builders but, with a new structure there is always a large development bill and a significant investment required. However, because we had the experience and so could handle the development work we have been able to create a standard platform that has already been approved for all the performance and safety test requirements. And because the design is modular it will allow users to put their own body and powertrain in – we can even offer a choice of windscreens.”
We thought this was such an important development that we just had to find out more. So Flexibility to meet various needs we met with Dr Kevin Lindsey, Technical Director at But will this standardised approach and common Far UK. He’s a very approachable man, as visitors platform chassis, we wondered, mean that

chassis will not only contribute to how vehicles fit into the environment but also will provide a great platform on which those developing electronics and systems will be able to more easily put their ideas on to the road because they won’t have to incur the cost of chassis development. They can buy the engineering from us, off-the-shelf.” This will be a significant benefit for niche vehicle builders and is likely to support further growth and innovation in that already innovative sector. It will certainly offer a cheaper, greener and easier way for smaller manufacturers to provide bespoke vehicles to meet specific customers’ needs.

Kevin Lindsey
all vehicles using the chassis have to be the same. “Not at all.” Was Dr Lindsey’s immediate response on which he expanded to tell us that, “Customers can vary the chassis but that will entail some development cost although nothing like as much as developing a new structure from scratch.” Along with its light weight, the chassis also builds on Far’s experience with composites so that it also very strong. It has also been designed to be simple to assemble for any production line. In fact, Far themselves are planning a number of variants on the design which is currently aimed at vehicles of about 500kg but can manage up to 850kg. This chassis will be the first of a suite that will include an extended version and a larger one. This first structure will be capable of taking a variety of bodies including urban cars, sports cars and vans; it will also be able to accommodate different drive trains and engine types such as electric, hybrid or conventional. Very much a structure for the twenty-first century.
The chassis already meets and exceeds the highest safety requirements in line with the company’s Light and Safe (LiSa™) design philosophy. As well as crash safety, it is also designed for easier repair, making it the ideal platform for an all-round safe and efficient vehicle. Very much fitting the spirit of the Advanced Engineering UK group of events, Far combines expertise in composites and auto engineering so we’re sure the new unit will attract a lot of positive attention at the show.

In its class, a steel monocoque structure can weigh up to 200kg in a 500kg vehicle and even a lightweight steel structure can weigh up to 100kg; whereas, the Far Platform Chassis weighs just 50kg and that makes all sorts of things more feasible.

What the chassis brings to vehicle design and construction What the new structure brings to vehicle design is significant weight saving. In its class, a steel monocoque structure can weigh up to 200kg in a 500kg vehicle and even a lightweight steel structure can weigh up to 100kg; whereas, the Far Platform Chassis weighs just 50kg and that makes all sorts of things more feasible. For instance, there is an additional 150kg available for batteries, which will make electric vehicles a lot more viable and capable. And in, say, an urban delivery van, the reduced weight will make possible a greater payload. Also, because of Far’s considerable experience in the sector, variations to meet evolving needs will be able to be turned around quickly. One thing about which we were particularly interested was… given that electronics and systems already account for half the content cost of a vehicle and growing, what will the new chassis add to vehicle capabilities in that respect. “Fuel efficiency needs low weight,” explained Dr Lindsey, “but a vehicle still has to accommodate the drive train and, in the case of electric vehicles, the batteries.

World Tour for igus bearings Coming to a neighbourhood near you: The iGlide Smartcar
30 years of iglide® – 30 years of research From the first tentative attempts to get started in 1983 with few parts, iglide has evolved over time through intensive research and learning into a mature product range with numerous options for dry operation and cost reduction. igus presented the first iglide bearings at the ‘K’ Trade Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany 30 years ago.
Innovations with high-performance plastics
To celebrate the 30 year anniversary of its iglide® plastic bearings, the tribo-polymer specialist igus ® is sending a special Smartcar on an extensive trip around the world. Well, they say, ‘it’s better than baking a cake.’ The German firm igus, long known for its plain plastic bearings, has retrofitted a Smartcar with 56 of its iglide bearings. These components are in all areas of the car, including the pedals, alternator, window regulators, convertible top, gearshift, and more. The igus car spent four weeks at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences being retrofitted with iglide bearings. The resulting car is no mere showpiece. It is going to tour the world, including stops in the U.S. After that trip around the world and thousands of miles, the car will be stripped down again at the Hannover Fair in 2015 to demonstrate how the bearings endured the journey.
The Smartcar will go on a 20 country, nine-month world tour Starting in February 2014 in India, the car will be shipped across oceans, and then driven around continents, stopping along the way at igus subsidiaries, partners, customers, trade shows, expos, and manus winners, connecting igus worldwide. In late July, the car will make its way to North America, beginning its tour of the U.S. and Canada in Anchorage, Alaska, where it will make its way from ocean to ocean until early October. igus says the round-the-world journey will be a test of the iglide plastic bearings installed within the car. iglide bearings are wear resistant due to their tribologically optimized plastic
compound, designed to withstand high stresses. Such features support long service life of the vehicle components, igus says. iglide bearings are already used in millions of cars produced annually, in applications that include moving the seats or in the throttle valves. Specific features of iglide bearings including resistance to dirt, oil, and chemicals, pressure resistance, and shock absorption, make them candidates for use in the chassis, engine compartment, and gearbox. Other application areas include door hinges because they are corrosion-free, self-lubricating, and silent. Low-weight plastic bearings also contribute to light-weight automobile construction, igus says. iglide bearings are also found in industries that include the medical and food-packaging industries, in agricultural machinery, machine tools, and a wide variety of others. Some 200 million plastic iglide bearings were installed in cars and trucks last year.
igus is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its iglide plastic bearings; it was three decades ago that igus presented its first iglide plastic bearing – a lubrication and maintenance-free plastic bearing for dry-running applications. Today, igus has the world’s largest range of tribo-optimized plastic bearings with more than 12,000 different bearing types, all available from stock. iglide high-performance plastics are designed the same way, integrated with dry-tech technology. iglide plastic bearings contain solid lubricants that make external lubrication unnecessary; making them completely maintenance-free and ideal for dirty, underwater, and cleanroom environments. The igus vision of ‘motion plastics’ or lubrication-free plastic components that move machines safely over a long period of time, helped build a strong engagement in research and development. igus continuously develops new materials and products with the aim of increasing safety and durability, while simultaneously lowering costs.
Driver Sascha will drive with the car across India, China, Korea, Japan, Brazil and throughout the US and Canada

The view from Composites UK Peter Dunwell
Dr Sue Halliwell
Putting composites into UK engineering, manufacturing and construction
One of the more rewarding aspects of writing for Advanced Engineering UK is that we get to meet nice people whose commitment and enthusiasm for UK advanced engineering and manufacturing is only exceeded by their knowledge about the sector in which they work. That’s certainly the case for Dr Sue Halliwell, Operations Manager at Composites UK who has been contributing to the event and our publication for several years now, and always with whole hearted support for engineering and manufacturing, and particularly for composites in engineering and manufacturing, one of a number of areas where the UK leads the world. So it was in the sure knowledge that she would make a valuable contribution that we met Dr Halliwell to gather some information with which to bring readers up to speed on key aspects of composites in the UK. We’d heard about capability projects and forums in connection with AMSCI (Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative) so, while the coffee was brewing, I opened the discussion by asking about the significance of AMSCI and of the Round 2 Composites innovation Cluster (CiC) Capability Projects and Forums planned for the next two years.
Supporting the supply chain with real intelligence “AMSCI,” as Dr Halliwell explained, “is all about developing the UK supply chain: identifying our strengths and weaknesses, aligning these with demand from the OEMs and thus filling the gaps to enable them to source their requirements onshore (i.e. in the UK). The CiC projects address key parts of the high volume manufacturing supply chain for automotive in particular, but also for other industries. During the forums over the next two years the project partners will be showcasing
technology, materials and process developments developed during the programme.” Nobody in the UK supply chain is going to argue the sense and value of that. But AMSCI and CiC are not all that’s going on to support UK composites. In fact, one thing about which I was particularly interested to learn more is the Composites Leadership Forum (CLF) to better understand its significance why it was established and what it aims to contribute to the sector?
Leading the composites sector Our guest first clarified how the CLF was set up in mid-2012 from an industry initiative to coordinate and connect the activities of a growing number of composite-using companies, supportive stakeholders and industry organisations. In short, it brings together key bodies within the UK composites sector to influence the Government and other bodies… including industry, research centres, academia and skills providers. “Its role,” as Dr Halliwell explained, “is to support the composites sector, and ensure growth and industrial success for the UK.” As part of that purpose, in the last year, the CLF has produced an industry report and is currently drafting the UK Composites Strategy. Given its pivotal position in the sector it is easy to see the value of the various stakeholder groups that have contributed to CLF and why it is important that they do: but who are they? Key CLF stakeholders include: BIS (the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills), TSB (the Technology Strategy Board), EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council), UKTI (UK Trade and Investment), DSTL (Defence, Science and Technology Laboratory) and KTN Ltd. (Knowledge Transfer Network). That’s the strategy team while delivery is in the hands of a group of
www.compositesuk.co.uk 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
partners including The British Composites Society, HVM (High Value Manufacturing) Catapult, EPSRC, CIMComp (Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Composites), Composites UK and National Composites Centre (NCC)l. Also involved are industry sector groups such as Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP), Automotive Council, Motorsport Industries Association (MIA), Construction, Renewables UK, Defence, Marine Industries Alliance, Railway Industry Association, Materials Supplies and People.
What is happening? There is clearly a great deal of activity in the sector and a lot of people and organisations making it happen but what actually is being done? There are, as Dr Halliwell confirmed several R&D projects being funded to develop various new capabilities, particularly in the areas of automation: AMSCI Rd2 CiC, for instance, has an automation focus. Moving back to the bigger picture again, I wondered what were the strategies evolving to help UK composites businesses stay ahead of the game in a competitive world. “CLF,” Dr Halliwell continued, “has carried out in-depth roadmaps to look at UK capability and gaps, and prioritise key areas for investment and research.” In that context, the UK strategy being drafted will highlight critical areas for UK development.
Preparing for the future I asked if she would tell me something about Composites 101 and composites training initiatives underway and planned. There turns out to be quite a lot to tell. “The Composites Assured Practitioner (CAP) scheme being developed by Composites UK,” Dr Halliwell explained, “will provide a means of
COMPOSITES UK | 71
measuring the capabilities of individuals within the sector. The scheme will link directly to NVQs, apprenticeships and other training levels. The CAP scheme will give individuals and companies a mechanism for demonstrating competence across a wide range of technologies, processes and methodologies.” Looking towards the implementation, she continued, “The CAP scheme will be overseen by the British Composites Society to provide the link to the professional institutes, and will enable companies to demonstrate compliance of their work-force within audited schemes such as NADCAP, ISO standards and SC21. This scheme will give UK industry a supply chain improvement mechanism, helping companies to de-risk and de-cost.”
Composites in rail engineering With all of this effort being invested in the sector, I now wanted to know how well are composites penetrating the main industrial sectors and, in particular, wondered whether Dr Halliwell could tell me something about composites in rail manufacturing with projects such as HS2. For a background, composites are well established in aerospace, automotive, marine and leisure industries with high profile examples of applications making front page news. Similarly, the construction sector utilises composites in a variety of applications from housing through to strengthening/repair and structural elements, but the potential here for exploitation is enormous; recent interest is strong for composite bridges (both footbridges and road bridges). Looking more especially at Rail applications, HS2 engineers approached Composites UK in late 2013 to explore potential infrastructure applications on the new line. When the current position was explained to them, they were surprised at the variety of applications already utilising composite materials within the rail sector. Discussions are ongoing to use composites where there is benefit on the HS2 line with likely applications including bridges, station platforms, rail-side furniture, gantries and even sleepers.
Composites UK at the Composites Engineering Show Of course, one of the ways in which Composites UK supports the Composites Engineering Show is with expert presentations for which the organisation hosts a number of forum events. Readers will, of course, be interested in this and so I asked, as a preview to the presentations, could Dr Halliwell tell me the areas on which Composites UK will be focusing and about any www.adsgroup.org.uk marketing initiatives with which Composites UK is involved. The rather long question earned a short but to the point response: “Celebrating UK achievement.” That seemed a fitting note on which to close the interview but, before we parted, I just wanted to know a bit about the composites Industry Awards that will be held alongside Advanced Engineering UK 2014. Another ‘to the point’ answer from Dr Halliwell: “The industry awards showcase UK achievement – it is a great opportunity to recognise what we’re good at here in the UK and celebrate the success of the industry.” That definitely was an appropriate sentiment on which to end another informative interview. We’ll look forward to the Composites UK contribution to this year’s Composites Engineering Show as part of Advanced Engineering UK 2014.

Composites UK member focus As in previous years, there will be a significant presence of Composites UK member businesses at Composites Engineering 2014 and their presence always adds a great deal to the event. Not only do they represent the best in UK composites technology but also, they are open for attendees from a range of sectors to meet and talk about how this fast developing technology might be applicable to their own work‌ or to discover technologies and processes to which composites might be applicable. And, given the rapid developments in the sector, there’s no saying that what might not have been possible last year will not be possible this year. Here is the latest news from a few of the Composites UK members at the show and a full list of them with their stand numbers.
Major design benefits introduced by Altair for latest version of HyperWorks Altair has announced a new release of HyperWorks, the computer-aided engineering (CAE) software platform. According to the company, HyperWorks 13.0 increases engineering productivity in four distinct areas: Performance optimization; lightweight design; Lead-time reduction and access to new technologies. For optimization of performance, OptiStruct can now operate as a strong nonlinear solver, with major improvements that elevate its functionality to simulate large displacement analysis and hyper-elastic materials such as rubber with an extremely efficient use of parallel computing to maximize speed.
www.compositesuk.co.uk 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
Altair is well-known for its expertise in designing composites structures. Pre-processing features in HyperWorks have been enhanced for improved usability. New, advanced methods of visualizing composite simulations in both the pre- and postprocessing stages are now available, with the ability to visualize material, element and ply systems and overlay them with stresses. With the latest release of HyperWorks, engineers spend less time on the model build and get solutions more quickly. For instance, mass customization requires manufacturing many different versions of the same product. Altair has completely rewritten the part-replacement tool so that, if engineers are bringing in a new geometry, they can simply exchange the parts and all the connections are updated automatically.

Exhibiting Composites UK member companies include Coventry University’s AME picks up first R&D project As one of the speakers at Advanced Engineering UK 2014, Coventry University will be presenting news of its latest efforts in R&D. The Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME) has secured its first research project…three months before officially opening. R&D experts at the UK’s first ‘Faculty on the Factory Floor’ have successfully won a competition from the UK’s innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board, to discover ways of speeding up the design and prototype cycle and cut costs of bringing new products to market. The ‘Towards Zero Prototyping’ project will aim to develop novel modelling and simulation techniques that will help designers and manufacturers reduce the need for physical prototypes. The Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering – a collaboration between Coventry University and Unipart Manufacturing Group - is set to pioneer a new higher education model for manufacturing degrees, offering a blend of innovative activity-led teaching, product development and research to create a unique learning environment. Construction work on the 1,700 square metre, state-of the-art manufacturing and R&D space in Coventry is gathering pace and will be the focal point of training for more than 30 undergraduates and postgraduates in the first year.
Adhesive for epoxy resins makes its Advanced Engineering 2014 bow In today’s market there is a gap for a product which has the characteristics of a spray adhesive that is uniquely compatible with epoxy resins. Cristex has developed a new product to its range called EPO-TAK to satisfy the end user. Based on Epoxy resin chemistry EPO-TAK is a new and innovative product that will help in the production processes within many applications and industries. With its enhanced ability to be used with various fabrics and epoxy resins it is a product which outperforms most other spray adhesives found on the market today – and even gives you a five-minute working time. EPO-TAK has the ability to simplify any processes and application within production. Through intelligent engineering, this product can be used with light or medium weight fabrics, whether to hold against a mould or indeed fabric to fabric.
EPM Technology invests in new facilities to aid growth As a company that aspires to a world-class presence in the massively demanding environment of composites engineering, EPM Technology has been prepared to back that aspiration with a real plan to grow in every respect – numbers, capabilities and scope of work. More importantly, that plan is supported by an investment programme that saw the firm move into brand new state-of-the-art premises in September 2014. Managing Director, Graham Mulholland explains the move went a great deal further than simply filling a van with the old stuff and putting it into the new building; it is, in short, a commitment to the future. “Our new building has given us new capacity, of course; but while we’ve been planning the move and what we could do in the new building, we’ve also been thinking about robotics and the composites processes.” The investment hasn’t just meant a modern good looking building, although it’s all of that; EPM sees the move as the first part of a journey.

As a result of this work, the project team is pleased to report that production of graphene and few-layer graphene has been scaled from 50g at the end of the first year to 2.5kg currently. Production of expanded graphite and nano-graphite has also been optimised and up-scaled. A densification process was studied to help improve the feeding of these graphite and nano-graphite powders into compounding extruders and to reduce transportation volumes. Alongside this, optimum lab-scale compounding extrusion parameters have been determined and simulations carried out, subsequently leading to the implementation of pilotscale production.

PRF Composite Materials has a new snap cure epoxy prepreg system – RP-570 – in its product portfolio, which has a complete process time of four minutes and produces an aesthetic quality finish in pressed components. Developed for high-volume production of parts produced by heated press process, RP-570 Snap Cure enables the constructor to create parts in under five minutes, and without the need to cycle the mould tool or to cool the hot mould tool before demoulding at 140°C. Working continuously on a pre-heated mould tool at 140°C, the preform is placed on the mould tool, the mould tool is closed and pressure applied. After four minutes the part is fully cured and can be removed from the mould tool without any cooling, enabling parts to be made backto-back without heating and cooling the mould tool each time.
As a company with a reputation for developing and commercialising cutting tool technology, SGS Carbide Tool aims to provides engineering and manufacturing businesses with significant advantages. One such successful development is the Patented JetStream coolant feeding technology offered on a number of the high performance tool ranges manufactured by SGS. Extensive research and development applied by SGS engineers to the JetStream technology over a number of years has resulted in a method of ensuring coolant is efficiently supplied to the shear zone – the interface between the cutting edge of the tool and the raw material of the workpiece that is being cut away. The coolant helps maintain thermal stability, provides lubrication for the cutting action and also flushes the swarf away to reduce the chance of ‘stirring’ or re-machining the chips.

A practical approach from NetComposites What composites can do, how they can do it and how that might be applicable to a product or process. John Hancock
As the industry organisation providing consultancy, training and information as well as the most established news service for the composites industry, NetComposites has a very important role to play in any composites engineering activity. No surprise then that they have for some years been a key contributor to Composites Engineering, part of Advanced Engineering UK. This year will be no exception with NetComposites sponsoring forum sessions and offering their popular ‘Ask the Expert’ facility, as well as hosting a separate but parallel Composites Essentials Training event at NEC concurrent with the Advanced Engineering UK group of events.
applications in industry (construction), and recycling. These represent a well-balanced group of themes for those already using the new materials and those coming new to composites or unsure of whether composites might have a part to play in their sector. We asked Joe Carruthers, Managing Director at NetComposites to tell us a little more about the themes, especially for the benefit of those considering a move into the sector or an application for composites materials. He started by looking at bio composites, their current and future applications, and sustainability.
Bio composites and sustainability
“A bio composite,” Mr Carruthers explained, “is a composite material where either the fibre This year’s sessions will explore themes from the or the resin (or both) is derived from biological world of composites today: bio composites and sources.” There is, it seems, still some discussion sustainability, nano composites, thermoplastics, as to how much bio-based content is required composites automation and robotics, composites for a composite to qualify as a bio composite. manufacturing processes, composites But what is certain is that, as he continued,
NetComposites forum sessions
www.netcomposites.com 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
“Bio composites are used where the customer wishes to use a sustainable product, the material is cheaper, or it offers a particular performance benefit (e.g. due to lower density).” Currently bio composites are used in semi-structural hidden parts in automotive applications (boot liners, door modules etc.). “Here,” Mr Carruthers added, “the low density from using natural fibres is attractive. They are also widely used in sports equipment (snowboards, skis, tennis racquets, etc.) where the ability of the fibres to absorb vibrations improves the experience for the user.” Fire resistance and durability are being tackled which will allow their use in architectural applications and mass transport. Bio composites certainly fall into the category of sustainable materials, reducing the need for petro-chemical based products and offering a natural opportunity for composites to be ecologically responsible. They are also responsible products when it comes to recycling and, in this, there are some significant steps

being taken in response to ‘End of Life’ legislation and by companies who realise the value of responsible business processes. With high value materials such as carbon fibre, recycled products are still high value which makes recycling good business. But there are also a lot of composites for which recycling applications have yet to be identified and exploited. To address this issue, Mr Carruthers explains, “There is a sustainability working group working under the auspices of the Composites Leadership Forum to advanced recycling for the sector in a coordinated fashion.”
Nano composites Looking at nano composites, Mr Carruthers again considered what they are, and current and future applications. They are, as he explained, “composite materials containing ‘fillers’ which have at least one external dimension in the range of 1nm – 100nm. The high surface area relative to volume of such fillers means that only small quantities are needed to change performance properties while allowing the composite to remain workable (not made stiff with fillers). This offers the possibility of providing enhanced functionality, for extremely little increase in weight.” An early example was nylon 6 – clay nano composites, which were developed by Toyota in the 1980s and used in the manufacture of timing belt covers. Since then, clays have been added to a range of other polymers, typically to improve flame retardant properties or to provide gas barrier properties. Other ‘nano fillers’ have also emerged, such as carbon nanotubes and, more recently, graphene, which is attracting great interest due the tantalising prospect of being able to provide improvement in a number of properties (electrical, thermal and gas barrier, amongst others) simultaneously. Mr Carruthers added, “With all nano composites the challenges which typically need to be addressed include achieving adequate dispersion of the ‘nanofiller’ throughout the host polymer; ensuring that the ‘nanofiller’ remains well dispersed during part production (i.e.that no filtration effects occur); and achieving a balance between cost and performance benefit which is acceptable to industry. Much of current research is concerned with addressing these challenges.”
Thermoplastics Most traditional composites use thermosetting polymers which have to be chemically cured into their formed shape; it takes time and means that their formed shape cannot be altered. “Thermoplastics,” Mr Carruthers explained, “are pliable or formable above a certain temperature but become solid upon cooling. The material can be reheated and reshaped for recycling.”
Composites automation and robotics “Conventional composites manufacturing were both labour intensive, laying materials down, and
wide range of topics (see above). Also, to promote and support efficient time use, the forum presentations will allow attendees to step in and out, picking up what interests them. There will be something for everyone with, as Mr Carruthers puts it, “Fresh content compared to last year, case studies and applications and ideas on how to improve on what you currently do.” There will be content for those who are already using composites and for those who are currently considering the possibilities of composites in their processes. One very popular element in NetComposites’ contribution has been the ‘Ask the expert’ facility and, this year again, attendees will be able to either ask questions related to the specific presentations they have attended and/ or ask on any topic because, as Mr Carruthers confirmed, “our consultants will be available on stand E131 to answer most questions about composites and applications.” There will Joe Carruthers also be a facility to tap into further expertise where a specific question cannot be fully inconsistent in degree and quality.” Mr Carruthers answered on the day. told us. However, he continued to explain that robots and automation reduce the labour cost NetComposites’ Composites of composites manufacturing (fibre placement, Essential Training tape placement and lay-up) and increase the Finally, NetComposites will be hosting a separate consistency of finished products – robots work but parallel Composites Essentials Training event with unvarying adherence to whatever parameters at NEC concurrent with Advanced Engineering have been specified for them. UK 2014. What themes, we wondered, will that event cover and how will it relate to themes on the Show Floor? Composites in construction Mr Carruthers was very clear on this. One area where composites are making useful strides is in the construction industry. Some of “Composites Essentials will take the forum model this might be attributable to the organisation of shorter ‘drop in-drop out’ sessions and apply of industry groups and events and both of them to the training environment. There will be these are areas where NetComposites is seven modules commencing at basics and active.

manufacturing industry and as a global player with world-wide experience, is well placed to guarantee continuity of supply from small, to the very largest volumes. Sapa Profiles UK was a major sponsor of the 2014 Power of Aluminium Design Competition which was aimed at final year design students at UK universities. The company is sponsoring a display of a number of the competition entries at Advanced Engineering 2014 at Birmingham’s NEC, where the overall winning design – a scooter that folds into a square the size of a piece of A4 paper – will form the centrepiece.
Carbodeon Head to the Carbodeon stand at Performance Metals Engineering to find out about upgrades to its electroless nickel, including a threefold improvement in wear resistance through the controlled addition of nanodiamonds. Nanodiamond particles are hardwearing, small, and offer very low surface friction. Since their discovery in cold war Russia, they have been a little-known secret used to improve the performance of hard chrome plating. Platers have added liquid suspensions containing clusters of these diamond particles into the electrolyte and experienced improvements in durability of the plating for such applications as gun barrels and machine parts. Carbodeon has developed modified versions of these nanodiamonds, where the surface functionalization is specifically controlled. For plating applications, the result is that the particle charge or ‘zeta potential’ is much higher – around 50% more than traditional nanodiamonds.
Wallwork Heat Treatment The Wallwork Group will showcase its extensive services for heat treatment, micro fine surface coatings, vacuum brazing and research and development capabilities at the Advanced Engineering Show. The company will be emphasising service to clients, particularly the rapid turnaround in processing components, in keeping with aerospace, motorsport and engineering demands for lean and just-in-time production. Wallwork operates a national service from three sites, Manchester, Birmingham and Cambridge. This places them close to major aerospace, engineering and motorsport centres and good proximity to leading universities and research establishments. Facilities are accredited by Nadcap, aerospace majors such as BAE Systems, Airbus, Rolls Royce and many other leading manufacturers.
Creating a better skills outlook Tata Technologies understands the engineering skills gap and is playing its part to address it with customers and in the wider community Tata Technologies Tata Technologies is a business with a ‘raison d’être’ and philosophy that was perfectly expressed by then chairman, Mr. Ratan Tata, in 1994 “… we noticed an important niche in the Manufacturing area, one that was not being served well today, one that needed a company that was not ‘all things to all People’. We needed a company that would focus itself in the area of providing solutions to manufacturing companies, and in doing so stand out to be noticed in that area”. From that vision Tata Technologies was established as a company of innovators providing competitive advantages to ambitious manufacturers worldwide, through its engineering and design specialists and product development IT experts. Tata Technologies believes it is their responsibility to promote sustainability of the planet and its communities. Their aim is to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business and support the development of environmentally responsible products on behalf of their clients.
What the business does To deliver on this world view, the business’s Value Proposition combines world-class engineering and IT expertise to create value through holistic, innovative solutions that address the complex challenges of the global product development process, from concept to delivery, and every step in between. Tata Technologies’ solutions are based on… •E ngineering mastery and engineering software technology; • ‘ Right’ sourced resources through optimisation of onshore facilities and offshore delivery centres; •R obust knowledge capture and knowledge management processes; •A profound understanding of product development focused IT; • A pragmatic common sense approach; and •T he fact that Tata sells what it uses and uses what it sells.
Concerns about skills One of Tata Technologies key concerns today is in addressing the skills gap for engineering in the UK. In that, they take a lead from the 2013 ‘Perkins Report’ in which Professor John Perkins conducted a ‘Review of Engineering Skills’ for the UK Department for Business Innovation and Skills, in which he concluded…
“I endorse the widely accepted view that it would benefit the economy to substantially increase the supply of Engineers… Under any plausible scenario for our future growth, new technology is likely to drive greater demand for higher technical skills… There is enough evidence to support a need to substantially increase the supply of Engineers, at both professional and technician level in the UK, and there is no room for complacency” This would seem to be a logical conclusion based on what’s happening in the world today in a period of unprecedented global population growth, rapidly maturing emerging markets, technology that is evolving faster than during any previous period in history, technology adoption rates accelerating (and cross industry), product development cycles that are being compressed and a world that is demanding more products, faster than ever before. It all adds up to a growing need for more skilled professionals required to create the products and services that are increasingly demanded from the world and its population today. And that would be before we’ve even taken account of growing trends towards personalisation and customisation. In light of all this, shortages in engineering skills are causing problems to the modern economy. Consider that vacancies in engineering and manufacturing have increased by 40% between June 2012 and June 2014, and, 40% of UK engineering firms report difficulties in recruiting. Alongside of this, skills imports now account for 20% of the UK’s professionals skills as industry seeks to fill the gaps in home based availability with qualified professionals from outside of the UK. It also means that work has to be exported to other territories as a result of UK companies’ inability to meet the needs. And yet, according to an Engineering Council 2013 survey, engineering graduate salaries are now 22% greater than in other disciplines and, over the period 2010 to 2013, engineering salaries across the board were 9-14% higher. It is this significant skills gap on which Tata Technologies is focusing in its work with clients and in its contribution to UK Government initiatives to improve education in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects so that, in the future, the UK will be able to meet its growing needs for those skills from the country’s own human resources.

Financial support and solutions for business Santander is headline financial services partner for the Advanced Engineering UK group of events: we ask Charles Garfit about the Bank’s approach to engineering and manufacturing John Hancock
For any business, engineering or otherwise, there is one common aspect of development and growth – it often requires finance. Businesses need access to a finance specialist but one who can understand what they are doing, why the finance is needed and how the business will be able to repay it. Unfortunately, in the UK at least, a regular cry from business is that traditional sources of finance, banks, aren’t much help. But Santander takes a different approach, typified in the bank’s role as headline financial services partner for the Advanced Engineering UK group of events.
What the bank looks for In light of this, we met Charles Garfit, Head of Manufacturing for the UK, with Santander.To give readers a couple of pointers to the process of applying for business finance, we first asked about the factors that Santander would look for when financing a business’s development and growth and why are those factors important. Mr Garfit explained: “It really all centres around belief and credibility. Firstly the business plan has to be well thought through and articulated; very often businesses know what they are doing but fail to communicate that effectively to their bank. Further they have to be able to explain the customer relationship well. In respect of growth with an existing customer they need to be able to describe the experiences they have had; where expansion is to service a new relationship, the underlying contract along with the customer’s reliance upon the product is key.” After a brief pause, he added, “But the most important factor is our understanding and belief in the management team and their ability to deliver growth sustainably. The relationship our experienced RD’s (Relationship Directors) build along with our locally based credit teams are a key differentiator for Santander and mean we can get a deep level of understanding about the business and people.” Summing up the approach, he concluded, “We really like to get under the skin of a business and determine it’s resilience. Clearly the numbers are important but so is the story that surrounds them.”

Working together Realistically, not every successful business will be accomplished at making the kind of presentation necessary when seeking credit: so, we wondered, what tools Santander can offer
www.santandercb.co.uk/manufacturing 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
to help potential or actual clients who need to improve their presentation for credit. “Simply put; our Relationship Directors.” Was Mr Garfit’s immediate response, but, to expand on that he continued; “We have a hand-picked, experienced team covering the UK, they are the advocates for prospective clients within Santander. From their initial meeting, they will get to know the business and key people in detail and will advise as to the nature and presentation of information that we will seek. They work closely with their locally based Credit Partner who will also visit the business. By meeting the client and viewing the manufacturing operations at first hand, the Credit Partner can gain valuable insight into the business and as a consequence, will be much better placed to form a well-balanced and informed opinion, based on what they see and hear rather than just what they read. Our Credit Partner is Santander’s credit risk representative and forms an integral element of the overall relationship team. We recognise that we can do more and are in the process of organising a series of training workshops with the aim of helping customers and prospects present themselves better to their bank.”
Why manufacturing? That seemed to conclude a good introduction for businesses seeking to finance growth and development but what is it, we wondered, that underpins Santander’s business-friendly outlook towards the engineering and manufacturing sector. “Manufacturing,” Mr Garfit explained, “is a key sector for Santander corporate and commercial bank. We recognise the opportunity it offers us as we grow our presence in the UK; but much more than that we understand how important manufacturing is to the UK economy. It has been extremely good at withstanding everything that the economy and recessions can throw at it, so that what remains is lean, innovative and very often world class. We want to be a long term partner helping the sector to develop and grow. The Advanced sub sector is extremely exciting and really shows what British ingenuity can create: so, we are proud to sponsor the show and develop our relationship with the sector.” A sentiment that cuts both ways: Advanced Engineering UK 2014 is proud to enjoy the support of Santander, a good partner for engineering and manufacturing businesses.

Catapulting UK high value manufacturing to success The High Value Manufacturing Catapult will keep UK industry in the global front rank A catalyst for future success The High Value Manufacturing Catapult is the catalyst for the future growth and success of manufacturing in the UK. It is a strategic initiative that aims to revitalise the manufacturing industry and was implemented, along with six other similar programmes in different sectors, following extensive independent research - notably the Hauser and Dyson reports. The HVM Catapult’s network consists of seven technology and innovation centres, established and overseen by the Technology Strategy Board, with over £200 million of government investment. The inception of the Catapult provides UK business with a gateway to access the best manufacturing talent and facilities in the country. It is also a two-way communication channel to the heart of government and a valuable conduit for funding from both the public and private sectors for projects and initiatives with due merit.
In 2010 two highly influential reports were published (by Hermann Hauser and James Dyson), while in October of that year, the Prime Minister announced that over £200m would be invested in a network of elite technology and innovation centres, to be established and overseen by the Technology Strategy Board. These centres would be an important part of the UK’s innovation system. They would allow businesses to access equipment and expertise that would otherwise be out of reach. They would also help businesses access new funding streams and point them towards the potential of emerging technologies. They would bridge the gap between universities and businesses, helping to commercialise the outputs of Britain’s world-class research base. The idea was to create not just another set of technical facilities, but a transforming force for UK business innovation. The new network of centres needed a powerful name that will help them to achieve this impact – The Catapults.
hvm.catapult.org.uk 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
Here are two cases to illustrate what the HVM Catapult is in action.
Leading a remanufacturing revolution A research project co-funded by Innovate UK the new name for the Technology Strategy Board – has led to Britain becoming a world leader in developing ‘game-changing’ hybrid manufacturing technology. This new technology combines the flexibility of additive manufacturing (better known as 3D printing) with the precision of high speed computer controlled machining and the quality assurance of in-process inspection. Hybrid manufacturing offers significant benefits over additive manufacturing, machining or inspection on their own. The process can be scaled up or down to produce parts in a wide range of sizes, productivity can be up to 100 times higher, and accuracy and surface finish are on a par with existing precision manufacturing

methods. It also has lower capital investment costs than other metal additive manufacturing processes, and can be retrofitted to existing machine tools - bringing it within the reach of a much wider range of companies. The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, joined the consortium in its later stages to help test and refine the new process. The project developed a hybrid manufacturing technology based on a multi-purpose machine. It brings together the separate elements of remanufacturing high value metal parts – additive manufacturing, machining and inspection – into one seamless, fully automated process. A new spin-out company, Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies Ltd (HMT) was formed to commercialise this new technology in 2012. “Without the support of Innovate UK this project would never have got off the ground,” said David Wimpenny, Chief Technologist at the MTC.
The Prime Minister announced that over £200m would be invested in a network of elite technology and innovation centres, to be established and overseen
How it works The machine switches smoothly from one part of the process to the next, so laser cladding (where a laser melts metal wire or powder to deposit metal onto a component) can be immediately followed by precision machining and inspection. A critical breakthrough in making this system possible was developing the laser cladding head, with its innovative ‘docking system’. This couples the laser, an inert gas supply and a metal powder feed to the cladding head when required – enabling it to be selected in the same way as a cutting tool or inspection head.
A multi-tasking future Building on its position as a world leader in the field, HMT is developing the next generation of hybrid manufacturing systems – the AMBIT™ multi-tasking system. It’s working with Delcam and MTC to explore commercial applications for the system – which extend far beyond just remanufacturing or repair. Hybrid manufacturing can be used to manufacture complex parts, through adding layers of materials, forming an entire component or to add specific features to an existing part. Jason Jones, CEO of HMT explained; “Hybrid manufacturing can be used to manufacture complex parts, through adding layers of materials, forming an entire component or to add specific features to an existing part. As well as offering turn-key solutions based on completely new machine tools, HMT also offers the option to retrofit systems onto existing machine tools, bringing it within the reach of smaller companies.”

existing machine tools, bringing it within the reach of smaller companies. Delcam, MTC and HMT have teamed up with German specialist machine tool company Hamuel Maschinenbau, to develop a machine to manufacture or repair industrial gas turbine parts. It was launched in September 2013 to much acclaim at EMO, Europe’s largest machine tool show, and was awarded the prestigious prize for ‘Best Multifunction machine’ at the show. “We’re currently developing a system to repair industrial turbine blades for power generation. At the end of trials the machine will be shipped to Hamuel for final testing and production,” Mr Wimpenny commented.
Where the UK leads, others follow The idea of hybrid manufacturing technology has rapidly gained ground in the machine tool sector. No less than six companies around the world claim to be offering (or developing) hybrid manufacturing solutions and there are rumours of others intending to launch systems this autumn. “It’s an increasingly competitive market so we’ll need to keep working on additional innovations and refinements to stay ahead of the pack,” Mr Wimpenny commented. However, despite the competition, the IP developed, including several patent applications, puts HMT and the UK in a leading position in this new and exciting area. “Funding and support from Innovate UK played a critical role in developing a workable methodology for hybrid manufacturing. It will also ensure UK companies are well placed to take advantage of opportunities in a field that will increase exponentially in size as industry wakes up to its potential,” Mr Jones concluded.
Reclaim The Reclaim project, completed in 2012, developed the world’s first commercial hybrid manufacturing system combining three key technologies. It involved eight partners: • Delcam (computer-aided modelling); •R enishaw (rapid scanning Sprint™ inspection head); • Precision Engineering Technologies (machine integration); • Electrox (laser processing); • The Welding Institute; •D e Montfort University (laser cladding process); • Cummins Turbo Technologies. The long term goal of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult is to stimulate growth in the manufacturing sector and more than double the sector’s contribution to UK GDP. It does this by helping businesses and research institutions accelerate new concepts to commercial reality. It will enable the UK to address market needs in key areas, making the country more competitive on the global stage. The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult –
The international dimension Despite the leading role of UK companies in developing the core technology, international collaboration will also be critical for success on a global scale.

Manufacturing a better future Siemens digital manufacturing adds intelligence to product lifecycle management and put quality in the driving seat John Hancock
Source: Siemens
Perhaps there are still some people in the wider world who think of manufacturing in terms of those dark halls of industry that dominated our twentieth century view of where things were made. However, to an increasing degree, that is no longer the reality of manufacturing. For a variety of reasons, today’s halls of industry are more likely to be clean and light places, populated by robots as much as by people and working to tolerances that ensure that every product is of a quality once considered only achievable at the top of the range. What is more, these new systems can cope with any number of variations within a, usually, comprehensive set of finished product choices. This combination of high quality and flexibility has been brought about by a new industrial revolution driven by digital manufacturing.
A new way of working In the vanguard of this new revolution, Siemens has been developing and installing digital manufacturing systems for many years and has, as a result, built considerable expertise in the subject. At this year’s Advanced Engineering UK group of events, Siemens will be talking about the introduction of new systems into manufacturing in their presentation slots and will be meeting with interested parties who might wish to discuss how digital manufacturing could be applicable to their business.
But what readers and potential users might first be interested to know is how digital manufacturing advances industrial processes. Digital manufacturing, as Siemens practices it, is an integral part of an organisation’s PLM (product lifecycle management) system and provides the means to address challenges such as increasing product complexity, shorter lifecycles, faster time to market, and the drive for sustainability. Many commentators agree that we are now in a fourth industrial revolution, where the digital and physical worlds are brought ever closer together to create cyber physical systems, in which process intelligence is devolved, and the processes themselves are increasingly flexible and adaptive. Siemens is at the forefront of developments in Industry 4.0, and digital manufacturing is one of its key enablers. In light of this important position it holds, we asked Brian Holliday, Acting Managing Director, Siemens Industry Sector UK & Ireland to tell us a little about the ways in which digital manufacturing differs from past methodologies. “To the extent that past methodologies have used digital tools (e.g. spreadsheets),” he explained, “they have tended to be point solutions, locally managed, not integrated with other systems and costly to maintain. It is not uncommon for there to be 10s of such systems in a typical organisation. Siemens digital manufacturing

environment brings these capabilities, together with Product Engineering, into a single managed environment. This then becomes a critical enabler for concurrent engineering.
Hardware and Software “Digital Manufacturing is predominantly about the software components; however the linkages to hardware in the physical world are crucial. These take many forms, such as: communication channels to send information to machines on the shop floor; using simulations to virtually commission manufacturing cells and their actual control systems; and capturing information about the physical embodiment of the product back into the digital environment. Siemens presence as a supplier of hardware such as machine controllers, PLCs, and factory networks, means they are uniquely placed to develop and support these software to hardware linkages.” This seems like a good idea but, we wondered, is it something that would be more applicable to the larger manufacturers or does digital manufacturing apply for SMEs and, if so, how well? Mr Holliday explained; “Siemens digital manufacturing tools are modular, and can be deployed individually if required. Thus there is no barrier to SMEs getting immediate value from their use. In addition, many SMEs are part of supply chains having large OEMs at the top.

SME adoption of Siemens digital manufacturing tools equips them to benefit from the transfer of rich manufacturing information within such supply chains and can lead to significant competitive advantage.”
Competitive advantage Well, everybody would be interested in gaining a competitive advantage but, in what way does digital manufacturing add value to the industrial process… looking at areas such as flexibility, product development/evolution, etc. “Digital manufacturing,” Mr Holliday continued, “is inherently about performing manufacturing planning and validation tasks in a virtual environment, rather than a physical one. This means that these tasks can be done earlier and at lower cost; alternative scenarios can be evaluated more readily; the need for physical prototypes can be reduced or even eliminated; and corporate standards and best practices can be applied uniformly across the organisation.”
Siemens digital manufacturing solutions can deliver significant value to all industries. However, a particular strength is in the discrete manufacturing sector, addressing industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, machinery, medical devices, and shipbuilding. But, of course, digital manufacturing will need to be adapted for different industries; e.g. automotive, aerospace, electronics, etc. The common core capabilities support all industries. But, in addition to that, there are industry specific adaptations to support industry specific activities, such as First Article Inspection; and to address challenges, such as those posed by the very large datasets encountered in shipbuilding. In fact, Siemens digital manufacturing tools can be readily configured to support a customer’s specific needs whatever industry sector they operate in. Structured to match the needs of the market Siemens has structured it’s digital manufacturing business into two major divisions (‘Digital Factory’
www.siemens.com/plm 2014 | SHOWGUIDE
and ‘Process Industries & Drives’) but what, we wondered, is the thinking behind that and how does it reflect the broader industrial landscape? Mr Holliday explained it as, “Siemens Digital Factory (DF) consolidates leading edge industrial design, automation and energy saving technologies. It’s business units are Factory Automation, Motion Control, Industrial Software, eCar Powertrain Systems and Customer Service which together aid customer productivity at every stage of the product lifecycle. When developing new product ideas, Siemens’ design and simulation software reduces time to market. In production, innovative automation technology and drive systems improve output and reduce energy costs, while intelligent diagnostics and support help minimise downtime. The Division is particularly well set to address the automation challenges of today through its Totally Integrated Automation platform in addition to the evolving future manufacturing challenges of mass customisation through Industry 4.0. “Siemens Process Industries and Drives (PD) groups the conglomerate’s Process Automation, Process Instrumentation & Analytics, Large Drive Systems, Mechanical Drives and Upstream/Midstream businesses. It has the clear remit of addressing the differentiated challenges of our industrial customers operating in the process sectors such as Chemicals, Pharmaceutical and Oil & Gas, particularly those operating plant critical Distributed Control Systems like PCS7. With project capability and global competence centres to back them up, Siemens PD also adds significant value to its customers through its specialist products, process and safety knowledge and partnerships with a global network of solution providers. Integrated Drive Systems are also a core competence. The DF & PD jointly represent Siemens Industrial footprint and activities in the UK.” Taking up that last point, Siemens is engaged in UK manufacturing through a number of channels. For instance, the firm is actively engaged in the UK Government’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult scheme. “In particular,” Mr Holliday added, ”Siemens is a tier one members of the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry. This has the remit of developing research ideas to a commercially ready state. We also work alongside other members, such as Rolls-Royce, to help drive the research agenda, and contribute to individual projects. The MTC uses a full suite of the Siemens digital manufacturing tools to support their day-to-day activities.” We are especially pleases that Siemens will be at Advanced Engineering UK 2014 as a company whose contribution to advanced engineering and manufacturing has already changed the UK manufacturing landscape and, with digital manufacturing, is set to have even more impact in the years to come.

94 | LEPs AND REGIONAL ORGANISATIONS
Local knowledge The LEPs and other regional organisations supporting Advanced Engineering UK 2014 have loads of local know-how and resources to help businesses moving to their areas John Hancock
This year’s Advanced Engineering UK group of events will be attended by a group of LEPs and regional partners who will be both promoting their regions and informing businesses contemplating moving to a new location. Just as the UK as a whole encourages inward investment into the economy, so different regions with various capabilities and facilities to offer also encourage inward investment to their areas. These various regional and local organisations are the ideal first place to go when considering investing in an area. They know their locality well and will have an extensive portfolio of ideas, schemes and possibilities in the main topics of interest to a potential investor. More than that, they offer access to local networks which, as any business knows, can help to cut through a lot of the ‘finding out’ stage at the beginning of an investment process. They can introduce you to other businesses that have moved to their area and can help to understand where there are businesses in the area that could add to the supply chain. Because they span the public and private sectors, they can also help with matters such as planning, housing and all of the indirect but very important aspects of moving a business to a new area. Whether you are currently considering an investment or relocation or not, we’re sure that you’ll be interested to know about each of the LEPs and partners involved with this year’s show, , what they do, their areas and what they can offer to new and relocating businesses.

Jim Heley, Director, A3L DSC started working on Optical Projections in 2005. By 2009, the first member of the ProjectionWorks family - AssemblyWorks - was fully operational and ready for action. Experiments on the F-22, F-35, and C-130 production lines all confirmed our belief that this technology could have a major impact on large-scale manufacturing in industrialized countries. Providing a technician with an AssemblyWorks System (rather than a stack of drawings and manuals) increases productivity in a similar way that providing a worker with a bulldozer (rather than a shovel) increases productivity. One big difference is that AssemblyWorks is a lot easier to operate than a bulldozer.
