He goes on to mention an example of rapid support for unusual requirements: “We grind very small concave radii on the camshafts. Due to a flange positioned in the center of the workpiece, we had to come up with a solution to ensure that the spindle housing did not collide with the workpiece. JUNKER supplied an integrated turning station – a clever, custom-made solution.”
Extremely pleased with the service

JUNKER assists with the integration of new machines. Triumph employees completed training for programmers so that the new machines would be up and running right away. Jack Sellers said: “The trainers from JUNKER were highly motivated, capable and explained everything. This meant that we had a good understanding of the machines right away.” The Production Engineer is also highly satisfied with the service in England and Thailand. “If we have any inquiries, JUNKER is quick to respond and suggest solutions. As a whole, we have had a very positive experience with JUNKER Service.”

„The trainers from JUNKER were highly motivated and capable“
The Lean Selection cam from JUNKER is the right choice for companies that require flexible production. The available grinding operations include cylindrical and non-cylindrical grinding. Cylindrical, convex, concave, polygonal or elliptical workpiece geometries can be ground – with chamfers or radii if needed. It is particularly important for the motorcycle manufacturer that cams and bearings can be ground on the same machine in a single clamping set-up.
Quick changeover for new workpieces Triumph has stringent requirements when it comes to flexible production. Technical improvements to components mean that the grinding process needs to be constantly re-adjusted. The Lean Selection cam makes it quick and easy to produce this wide range of high-quality parts. Small series require rapid machine changeover, which is where the machine’s easy operation proves itself. “Our setup engineers who work with the Lean Selection cam can change over the workpiece and associated program,” said Jack Sellers.

Message | EDITOR’S NOTE
Our World This Year A
s the year 2019 draws to a close, it’s a good time to reflect on some of the milestones we, at DMI, have been able to achieve this year. This was the first year since inception that we were present at the sanctum sanctorum of some of the biggest industry shows, whether it was EMO Hannover, IMTEX Bengaluru or Laser World of Photonics Mumbai. In a few days, we will be participating at ENGIMACH 2019, an equally important and big engineering and machine tools trade show. We not only got to meet the prime influencers of the global trade at these shows, but we also were able to experience the true technological prowess and potential that the world of manufacturing has to offer. Another major milestone on our tradeshow journey has been the beginning of our active collaboration with some of the leading shows – we had the great experience of producing the show daily at LWOP 2019, and are on our way to do the same at ENGIMACH 2019. It’s truly an immersive experience for a trade journal to document and share the goings-on at a trade show with visitors and exhibitors.
We can also boast of some very well-received editions this year. Among all, three editions clearly stand out in how we were able to bring out actionable insights. Our special on the Aerospace industry (March-April edition) explored, inarguably for the first time, why India’s aerospace sector accounts only for a little more than one percent of the global aerospace manufacturing industry. We not only looked at the reasons, but also published views from leading sector associations and companies such as AIDAT, Maini Precision Products, BrahMos, Poeir Jets, Wave Mechanics, Collins Aerospace, AeroDynamic Advisory and others on the possible solutions. The other notable edition was the Make In India special (JulyAugust) which highlighted the progress that our industry has made in this direction and the things that we need to do to make it a success. Props to Hiroyuki Aota, President & CEO, Global Panasonic Smart Factory Solutions; Rajesh Doraiswamy, Joint Managing Director, Salzer Electronics; Jayesh Shah, CEO, Sonam Clock Ltd and other thought leaders for sharing incisive views for the special. Our recent edition on 3D Printing (Sept-Oct) was another winner. Thought leaders who made this edition unputdownable included Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director, Stratasys India and SEA; Renuka Srinivasan, Director- SIMULIA WW, Dassault Systemes; Dr. Vishwas R Puttige, Business Head, amace solutions Pvt. Ltd; and Prasad Rodagi, Founder Director, Altem Technologies. This year, DMI also ventured into the world of v-logs with the launch of Makers and Movers, a YouTube video series where I share the latest trends and developments from the world of manufacturing and speak with the influencers and decision makers of the industry. From a larger perspective, I realize that as an industry, we are ending this year on a subdued note, considering the lackluster economic environment at home, and an ongoing trade war between two economic giants, one which doesn’t seem to be ebbing anytime soon. My biggest wish for you and your business is to see you emerge stronger and more successful in 2020. On behalf of Team DMI, we wish you a joyous holiday season and a prosperous 2020. Stay tuned.

assault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Forum was held on September 10, 2019 in Bengaluru. Olivier Lahaye, Vice President - Sales of DELMIA Brand, Dassault Systèmes and Kiran Divekar, Director, DELMIA, Dassault Systèmes India spoke with Dinesh Mishra of Dynamic Manufacturing India at length on the major market trends and how the company's 3DEXPERIENCE platform can help organizations gain business agility, productivity, and sustainability. Since you handle global sales, I want to know how the markets are different here in India, APAC, and globally. Currently the market here has slowed down – how has that impacted your sales and what’s your company’s strategy in this scenario? Olivier Lahaye, Vice President - Sales of DELMIA Brand, Dassault Systèmes: In APAC, the dominant market for us for a very long time
has been Japan. Dassault Systemes has been very strong with Toyota and Honda for a very long time. We have been investing significantly in India as well as in China. If you look at China’s automotive industry, they’ve had a long-term growth prediction of 12 percent for the last six months. It’s an impact like you’re facing here. Other than that, you still have GPV (Gross Payment Volume) growth in China, and that’s exactly the situation in India. But there is anyway a desire to improve significantly, from the manufacturing aspect. The two countries [India and China] are highgrowth countries for us and we’re investing a lot. We have increased the number of partnerships. We have more and more significant customers; Mahindra has been a long customer for Dassault Systemes here in India. I see a similarity, although in the scale of manufacturing, China is a lot bigger. But right now we have a lot of discussion focused on India because India has a demographic advantage. The long-term growth

trend is here. Here, Dassault Systemes is listening to the manufacturer, looking at the constraints that the latter have. It could be short-term economic constraints and a wish for digitalization in the long term. India will be in exactly the same [economic] situation as any other country in the world. Digitalization will be necessary for them to be able to run a sustainable business. A sustainable business has three pillars. The first pillar is that of stability. You need to be able to sustain your growth over time, and make sure that growth is for your own employees, your shareholders, the social environment and the country. There is a very strong focus today on the ‘workforce of the future’. That is very clear because we are convinced that the worker in the factory today will not be the same, 10-20 years from today. We are today helping lot of industries to figure out what they should look for the next factory, the factory of the future. For sure you would have more robots and automation, but you will still have people. Several years ago, people were saying about Industry 4.0 that it’s about being fully automated, fully robotized, etc. People have matured in their views of Industry 4.0 that and see it as a tradeoff that maximizes productivity and profitability. There will be people in the factory, though the jobs would be different. For example, very highly repetitive job will be mostly managed by a robot or automation. You will still have people to maintain the machine, be creative in terms of improvements, and still handle some materials because the machine won’t be able to
manage all the operations, it is still very important to employ people. The second and third pillars are people and productivity. In addition, industries today have to treat their waste, optimize the consumption of energy so that they have an environmentally friendly move, that’s because it’s also part of the custom of what they do. But it’s also because environmental sustainability has become a hugely important part of the organizations go-to-market strategy. If you see the sales of Dassault Systemes over time, we’ve grown continuously. Today APAC is helping us keep that pace of growth. Dassault Systemes is a privately owned company and we are really looking at the long-term aspect. We can afford to look at the long term as well as sharing the value with the shareholders in the short term. That said, the growth of GDP in America has been very strong in the last two years. America is catching up fast. As it appears, most of our factories are still a long way from adopting automation and robotics in the way that factories, in say, South Korea have. Do you think that the Indian manufacturing industry is ready for Industry 4.0 from that perspective? Olivier Lahaye (OL): Several factories in India have adopted automation and robotics. A comparison with South Korea is not fair, as it is a country that has one of the world’s highest deployment rates of robotics in manufacturing. Also, the difference in the cost of labor between

Cover Feature | DASSAULT SYSTÈMES South Korea and India is big. Not only does India have very strong engineering and IT capabilities, it still has the luxury of employing labor which is not too expensive. India stands at a good point on the adoption curve of automation and the robotics. I don’t see it as a problem right now. Industry 4.0 as a trend has existed now for more than a decade. If you go deeper, it’s a name for a mix of technologies that have existed for a long time, like automation, robotics, Artificial Intelligence, etc. Artificial Intelligence, for example, is more than 30 years old. The motto of Dassault Systemes is very much about the 3DEXPERIENCE. The idea is to say that, today, most of a typical organization works in silos. In a typical scenario, from the stage of conceiving and designing a product to manufacturing, a lot of time is lost in the exchange of things. When you work on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, any person or team in a company can have access to the data in a processed manner and contribute to a new idea or a new project and help solve any problem during any stage of product development. More than robotics or automation, 3DEXPERIENCE is about adopting a lean approach to all the different sides of a project to make it move faster in lesser time and resources. This is why we have industry experts at Dassault Systemes who are able to help companies in specific industries such as aerospace and defense, energy, construction, industry equipment, life sciences, design a roadmap that goes beyond the industry 4.0. If you look at countries like America or Japan, they are already going beyond the traditional, knowing that digitalization is more about bringing the right information to the right people, killing the silos in an organization so that resources can be better utilized. India can benefit from the awareness that industry 4.0 is much more than deployment of automation and robotics – it is about using resources in a more effective way, using a better way to collaborate. To move toward the goal of Industry 4.0, I think it’s imperative for the Indian industry to embrace digitalization as the norm. You have to be focused on innovation as well, which means that it would be a smart move for industry stakeholders to collaborate with innovation partners like Dassault Systemes because of our global experience. This is what you call a value engagement where you understand the problem of customer to the point that you act as partners to solve it. In such an economic situation, I think Indian manufacturers need to address problems through use cases of the technology, which is
probably a safe path for the next two, three years till things look up for the world economy. Kiran Divekar (KD), Director, DELMIA, Dassault Systèmes India: To add, if you really go deep into what Industry 4.0 is about; it’s about manufacturing agility, demand responsiveness, and improvements in quality and efficiency of production. We know that quality is of prime importance for Indian manufacturers. Especially when we are competing with countries like China and Korea; quality is of essence. Since Industry 4.0 greatly improves agility and quality, I do believe that overall Industry 4.0 is a much-needed step for the Indian industry. How do you see the future of additive manufacturing in India? KD: Additive manufacturing (AM) is evolving. We are seeing it having a major play in high-tech sectors like aerospace and defense. But we are not seeing that level of adoption yet in massmanufacturing sectors such as automotive. OL: It is being more widely used [across sectors] for prototyping. With steep advancements in material science, AM could prove to be a better replacement for casting and forging even for mass-manufacturing and hightech sectors like automotive. Stratasys India launched a campaign three months back Pune called ‘3DEXPERIENCE on Wheels – Connected Factory’. What was the response? KD: The response was overwhelming, much more than we anticipated. It was because of two reasons: one, people don’t like to just see power points; they want to see what 3DEXPERIENCE can do in real time, something which they can experience. And two, this campaign has taken 3DEXPERIENCE to the doorstep of industrial hubs where it is much more convenient for people to come and talk to our people. And of course it also helped us take the Dassault Systemes brand further. We received a great response from the OEMs, Tier I, Tier II markets and their suppliers. OL: Indeed, that was the idea we had in mind when we launched that initiative, that it will take 3DEXPERIENCE to people working in the remote areas. An event like the one here gives us an opportunity to meet people who may work in an office, in, say, the engineering department. But the people who are working in a factory, they may have a shift to do – it is harder for them to come to an event such as this. This campaign gives us the opportunity to take 3DEXPERIENCE to their factory, so that they can easily get access, learn,
and ask questions. It is an enriching experience because we understand better the needs of the people on the shop floor. The success of this campaign was so great that we had to extend it for two more months. And we will, of course, do it next year as well. How do you see the success of the Make in India campaign, and its impact on the adoption level of cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing? KD: From Dassault Systemes’ standpoint, Make in India has been quite successful from what we have seen, especially in the aerospace and defence industry. That has helped Dassault Systemes business as well. We look forward to seeing more policies in this direction from the government. OL: Governments worldwide are trying to help their industries find sustainability. It is a global phenomenon, whether it is China, France, or Germany. It’s very important that India keeps progressing on the path of Make in India and make it more successful. How do you, from a strategy perspective, see the prospects of Electric Vehicles (EV) in Indian markets? OL: Globally, EVs are making good progress. I believe, recently, Volkswagen launched in Frankfurt their completely new EV series comprising about 29 different types of vehicles models to come through the next few years. The trend has far surpassed the early-adoption part of the curve. Looking at the positive social
and environmental impacts of the technology, it has to happen in India as well. I wish the Indian manufacturers make a fast progress on this front. Recently, I saw the launch of one of Mahindra Electric cars, and the excitement among the customers that followed the announcement was palpable. I think all traditional carmakers will have to make EV a part of their portfolio. KD: Indeed, we are seeing more and more traction coming from the EV manufacturers in India, including Mahindra. From a manufacturing standpoint, India will have to do more in the area of battery manufacturing – this is still an importdependent area, with most imports coming in from China. And then we need to have a good infrastructure for charging. The government is pitching with a lot of supporting policies and subsidies. I am confident that we will see an increase in numbers of EVs, both cars and twowheelers, particularly in the metros over the next five years. OL: I think the manufacturing infrastructure for EVs is an important area. I was discussing this with a customer here yesterday and he showed me a prototype of an EV which he was able to develop in four months with the use of our platform, whereas a typical vehicle takes seven years. Dassault is very well positioned in this domain – at present out of 21 EVs, 19 are using our EV-development platforms. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform has all the solutions required to design an EV, build it, test it, simulate it, and speed up the whole process. https://www.3ds.com

Executive Profile: Sharad Kulkarni, Vice President – Round Tools, Sandvik Coromant – South & East Asia Sharad Kulkarni, Vice President – Round Tools, Sandvik Coromant - South & East Asia has more than 22 years of professional experience in the metal cutting industry, he has worked in various roles with Sandvik Coromant where he was responsible for driving sales for Northern ,Western and Eastern region . He was also responsible for Business Development for the Automotive segment for Asia region Currently he is heading Round tool business in all the markets in South and East Asia. Sharad has a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical engineering from Pune University.
Speaking of product offerings, Sandvik Coromant’s product and services portfolio, globally, comprises close to 40,000 cutting tools and solutions, and then we have a large number of customized or custom-made products for the customers. We have got top-of-the-line products with cutting-edge technologies for all types of applications, whether it’s turning, grilling, milling or digital machining. Furthermore, we continuously introduce new products – presently we have around 2,500 -3,000 new products which are already there in the
market. Our product portfolio is designed to keep pace with the market demand and the changes, and improve the customer’s workflow, efficiency and productivity. To share an interesting market trend with you, we see that the Solid Round Tools (SRT) used in the areas of solid carbide drilling, milling, tapping, reaming and threading are gaining higher traction – there is a reason for this. In the last decade, the need for parts of superior quality and accuracy in the manufacturing industry has grown exponentially, particularly in verticals such as industrial automation, automotive components, medical devices and consumer goods. It means that the cutting tool must be highly precise, allow for faster machining which reduces cycle times, and should be highly durable. Solid carbide tools offer all these advantages and many more, such as high heat resistance and the ability to handle multiple workplace materials. The second reason for the popularity of Carbide SRT is that today’s manufacturing setups are designed in way that integrates multiple machining operations in order to produce one finished component at the end of the line. Such a setup calls for a type of cutting tool which is versatile, and the Round Tool fits this criterion perfectly. These are the reasons why Sandvik Coromant’s SRT portfolio has been one of our fastest growing offerings. What are the latest trends that you see in the metal cutting tools (MCT) industry in India? The most noticeable trend is that customers are looking for greater efficiency and value. If it is, say, a turning operation, the customer wants to know how it can be done in a lesser time. To address that, we have a product called CoroTurn Prime which is able to cut down cycle times by nearly half compared to the traditional types of tools. Now that kind of performance adds tremendous value to a customer’s business, because he is able to save on the total machining time, and accrue huge productivity and efficiency gains. And there are similar offerings across all the tool applications. The machine tools industry moves in tandem with the cutting tools industry – if the former brings in improvements in technology then we have to also match up and vice versa: if we bring new kind of cutting tools in the market then the machine tools industry has to make sure that it deploys the new cutting tool technologies in the most efficient manner. The machine tools industry has taken big leaps in technology. Today, for example, multi-axis machines are becoming more common as they are not only able to machine more complex parts but are also more adaptable to different types of production setups.

Which technologies, in your view, will be the biggest growth driver of the global manufacturing industry, and therefore of the machine tools industry? These are exciting times in the manufacturing industry, as this is the era of industry 4.0, also referred to as the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 encompasses a host of technologies, such as IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things), artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data analytics and
robotics, which are driving improvements in the manufacturing value chain. From our perspective, Sandvik Coromant wants to be at the forefront of this revolution in the machining sector. Some of the key areas that we have identified for this purpose are digital transformation or digitalization, intelligent manufacturing with cyber-physical systems, and sustainability. We have used digitalization in two important ways. One, we have used it as an internal transformational tool to improve our efficiencies, and two, to deliver more value addition to the customer from supply and cost perspectives. Intelligent manufacturing is another key area where we have taken major strides in the industry 4.0 journey. We have added sensor technologies to the tools which enables them to interact with other tools and with machines. It is a part of the cyberphysical systems where all the parts interact with each other, bringing in automation and therefore more efficiency. Our industry-4.0 drive covers all processes of the manufacturing value chain, starting from designing to process planning, to machining and even post machining. [In January this year, the World Economic Forum officially recognized the Sandvik Coromant production unit in Gimo, Sweden as an advanced Industry 4.0 facility. - Editor] For instance, we offer a service called Machining Insights, which provides reports consisting of realtime and historical data on performance indicators like OEE (Overall operation efficiency). As importantly, sustainability stays at the heart of our industry 4.0 strategy and is a part of our company culture and the whole value chain. Sustainability for us has three elements: Planet, where we focus on what we do for our environment. Our tooling solutions are designed to reduce their environmental footprint as much as possible. One of the ways in which we ensure that is through a lifecycle approach we apply through the recycling and recondition of worn-out tools.
We invite all industry participants in India to register and participate at ORDERFOX.com. We can help them take advantage of the international business opportunities, achieve new contacts locally and globally - and to optimise workflows.

The second key element is People, where we strive to build a culture which nurtures and enables growth, drive and innovative thinking in our people. The third element is Profit – one of the reasons behind the fact that Sandvik Coromant is among the world’s oldest and biggest companies in the business – with such a rich legacy, as you mentioned – is that it has been a profitable company. So Planet, People, and Profit are the three pillars of the company strategy. Which industries are your top customers in India? Automotive is the biggest segment for us, as it is for other sector companies, since automotive constitutes more than 50 percent of our manufacturing industry. The aerospace industry is emerging as an important customer for us. It is encouraging to see the growing number of players who want to be a part of the global supply chain of the aerospace industry, whether it’s at tier 2, 3, or tier 1. I think this is good news as it’s a indication of the maturity of our manufacturing industry and a recognition of the world-class quality of our local talent. With our government keen to support the aerospace industry with industry-friendly policies, it is a promising segment. The medical implants and devices industry is also fast emerging as a robust vertical. We see a lot of investments in this area. India’s Metal Cutting Machine Tools (MCMT) companies face a number of challenges such as dependence on the cyclical growth of industries such as auto and construction, intense competition, and complex distribution networks, etc. Can you share with us some of the biggest challenges you face currently? What are the strategies you use to address these challenges?
From a macroeconomic perspective, we are seeing this cyclical growth patterns getting more and more frequent, which has created its own pattern of disruptions. For instance, in 2017 and 2018 the automotive industry was doing well; then the growth rates fell off the cliff. Now we are seeing at least 21 percent reduction in numbers. Factors like the global slowdown in the automotive sector, challenges in our domestic financial sector, particularly the NBFCs which has hampered the availability of credit to SMEs, reduced consumption, and the switchover to BS6 emission norms have hit hard the automotive sector, which is our biggest customer segment. From an overall industry perspective, even though this is a challenging time for us, we also see it as an opportunity for improvement. As you know, an important focus area for us is the improvement of manufacturing processes, which leads to better productivity and cost competitiveness. During a boom time, a manufacturer, who is our customer, is generally reluctant to do process improvement because he doesn’t want to disturb the schedule as he has to keep pace with the growing demand. One can use the times of slower growth to help one’s customers focus on process improvements, and that is why we see this also as an opportunity to support the customer. In terms of our distribution strategy, we have always considered them as our partner. And enable and empower them to offer the same value, technical competence and service to their customers that Sandvik Coromant offers to its direct customers. Our distributors are much more than stockists to us; they are partners who add value. In essence, we as a company’s vision is to use technological innovation to deliver an unmatched customer experience and shape the future of manufacturing, together. www.sandvik.coromant.com POWE RE D BY

Sustainability Insights | CLEANMAX SOLAR
Harnessing the Sun for Indian Manufacturing Andrew Hines, co-founder, CleanMax Solar shares insights on solar energy’s adoption in Indian manufacturing, the main motivators, and global sustainability trends
C
leanMax Solar is the sustainability partner for leading corporates in Asia. The Mumbai- headquartered company ranks among the biggest providers of solar power to commercial and industrial customers. CleanMax Solar and has successfully installed more than 340 projects for 140 corporates, with a total rooftop solar operating capacity of more than 170 MW. It also operates 330 MW of large-scale solar farms in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, for supply to its corporate customers. Its market share averages around 20 percent in rooftop solar developer category in India in the last four years while its CAGR since FY 2016 has been
an impressive 86 percent. Andrew Hines, co-founder, CleanMax Solar shared with DMI many insights on the growth drivers of solar energy in Indian manufacturing, his company's customer segments and other key areas. What are the main drivers and motivators for Indian manufacturers for adoption of solar energy? Can you share few examples? Manufacturers in India are adopting solar power primarily for two reasons: one, to reduce their input costs while protecting themselves against ever-increasing grid tariffs, and two, to pursue their sustainability objectives. For most clients, cost reduction is the most

important factor. Across India, we are now able to provide power at tariffs anywhere from 30 to 50 percent lower than grid tariffs for a rooftop or onsite solar plant. And we can also provide large volumes of renewable power through the grid, in an open-access or group-captive basis in most large states in India, also at a discount on grid tariffs. All of this is possible without any investment from their end, which is a very attractive proposition. Sustainability is also emerging as a major motivator for manufacturers. While the business case needs to be compelling, the sustainability story is often what captures the attention of senior management and gets the project across the line amidst other priorities for the organisation. More and more corporates in India and around the world are making public pledges to source their power from renewable sources, such as through RE100. As importantly, they are making concrete plans to achieve these goals. Amongst the many options available, zero-investment renewable energy is a straightforward way for manufacturers to make meaningful progress towards sustainability goals in a single action method and without disruption to their operations.

What are the sustainability trends in India and globally that manufacturing companies are following? Globally, over the past one or two decades, sustainability and climate change have moved from the margins of corporate decision making to the mainstream. As of today, 207 of the world’s largest companies have signed onto RE100 [a global collaborative initiative of influential businesses committed to 100 percent renewable energy], which commits them to achieving 100 percent renewable sourcing within a defined timeframe. The list of signatories includes leading manufacturers from all major industries, and includes Unilever, General Motors, Akzo Nobel, Philips, Nestle, Dalmia Cements and Tata Motors, to name just a few. And dozens of others have signed similar pledges. Equally important, those who have not signed the RE100 pledge are also feeling the urgency of addressing the sustainability of their operations, based on pressure from shareholders, investors, customers and employees. One outcome of this shift is that companies have become much more ambitious in their sustainability goals. Ten years ago any sustainability initiative was typically seen as positive, and a step in the right direction. Today, there is a strong push for companies to

switch over completely to renewable energy, for 100 percent of their power requirement. This is a very common statement we hear from clients nowadays: how can you help us to reach 100 percent?
Key Highlight:
We have also begun to serve clients outside India, for example for the leading building materials company, Danube Group, in UAE.
How can CleanMax Solar help manufacturing units reduce dependence on conventional electricity? At CleanMax Solar, our mission has always been to help corporates achieve their sustainability targets while also saving cost. We offer manufacturers a way to reduce their power costs by 30-50 percent – depending on the state – with zero or minimal investment. We also take seriously the need to help clients get to their 100 percent renewable goals. Rooftop solar plants are possible anywhere in India and are very cost effective, but they typically meet less than 20 percent of a factory’s power consumption, and often much less. To source the majority of their consumption from renewables, consumers need to get power through the grid, via open access or group captive arrangements. To service this need, CleanMax has expanded its large-scale offerings to almost all major states – if a manufacturer has 6 factories in 6 different states in India, chances are we can provide gridconnected renewable energy in 4 of those. The only states where we don’t provide open access power are those which don’t permit it at all. Who are the top Indian clients of CleanMax Solar? As the leading provider of B2B clean energy in India, we supply to many of the country’s largest corporates and manufacturers – both
Indian and global corporates. For the majority of our clients, we work across multiple facilities, and often in both rooftop and open access models. While many of our clients require confidentiality about our work together, I will give a few examples below. Our project with TATA Motors for their Sanand plant in Gujarat with an installed capacity of 2036kW has earned us the privilege to be the first Indian company to win the prestigious Transformational Business Awards 2018 by Financial Times (FT) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) in Achievement in Transformational Infrastructure’ category. It is also one of the largest rooftop solar power plants in the state. Volvo India is sourcing 60-70 percent of their power requirement from one of our solar farms in Karnataka, with an associated reduction in their CO2 emissions by 3,380 ton per year. Auto ancillary manufacturers like Knorr Bremse have reached 100 percent solar utilization during the daytime, with significant savings on their electricity bills, which is estimated to be about Rs 3.4 million annually. United Breweries Limited has worked with CleanMax across eight states, for a combination of rooftop and open access solutions across its breweries. Other manufacturing companies in CleanMax Solar’s portfolio include Asahi Glass India, Carl Zeiss, Manjushree Technopack and many others. We have also begun to serve clients outside India, for example for the leading building materials company, Danube Group, in UAE. www.cleanmaxsolar.com

MF gripper achieves a fully automatic workpiece change during the machining process on a machine tool. It is changed from the tool magazine of the milling machine and enables workpiece handling between the part storage and the clamping device. It is actuated by means of compressed air, which is routed through the machine spindle. The gripper closes pneumatically and opening takes place by means of spring force. The gripping force can easily be adjusted by means of a pressure control valve and thereby adapted to the relevant requirements of the workpieces. Easily exchangeable gripper inserts for handling various workpiece geometrics. Easy implementation of unmanned shifts, which means greater machine utilisation and more flexibility. Tremendous reduction of set-up times for smaller to medium-sizes batches. Max. Permitted speed: 20(rpm). Suitable for Weldon seat and hydraulic expansion chucks. Designed for ambient temperatures from 0-60 degree Centigrade. Transportation of workpieces up to a max. of 8kg. The standard supply includes three replacement seals. Available in two designs for workpiece sizes up to a max. of 50 mm or 70 mm. Hydraulic version also available.
MF Vacuum c l a m p i n g systems are used in the wood, plastic , glass ,ferrous and non ferrous metal industries for quick clamping and simple machining : And also to clamp work pieces for engraving, grinding, assembly and polishing etc. Best suitable for plates to be machined or processed. If plate is clamped all 5 sides can be machined in single set up, including holes or pockets if any. In vacuum clamping a pressure differential is created which presses the work piece against the clamping plate. Thus the work piece is not, as one might think, actually ‘sucked’, but is rather pressed against the vacuum table. The sliding surface of the work piece depends on its surface structure, the pressure differential and the area on which the vacuum acts. More the contact area, more holding forces. AMF Vacuum clamping plates can be operated using compressed air and venturi nozzle or with an external pump. Low compressed air consumption, thus low operating costs. By means of individual grid allocation it is also possible to clamp and machine multiple , different workpieces at the same time.It is also possible to integrate the Vacuum clamping into the AMF “ Zero Point clamping system, size K20. Sizes of plates available min 150x150mm, max 400x600mm.Bigger sizes on request.

Grinding camshafts at Triumph with the Lean Selection cam from JUNKER
PRECISION PRODUCTION FOR THE PERFECT RIDE Triumph is a well-known name among motorcycle enthusiasts. The reliability and lasting value of the bikes is thanks to their high-quality production. Triumph uses the Lean Selection cam high-speed grinding machine from JUNKER to grind its camshafts.
“The models in the Modern Classics line are currently our most popular motorcycles – for example the Thruxton or Bonneville,” said Jack Sellers, Production Engineer at Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. in England. The Modern Classics line is made up of new motorcycles with current technology in a timeless design. These classic bikes make for reliable companions, both on the roads where adventure lies around every corner and on leisurely rides where the rider can enjoy the synthesis between man and machine. What’s more, as of the 2019 season, Triumph Motorcycles are now the exclusive engine supplier to the FIM Moto2™ races, bringing their many years of experience in high-end engine building to the table.
very important to us that the machines are reliable. The camshaft quality must always meet the high requirements that Triumph expects of its components. Thanks to the tried-and-tested Lean Selection cam we can maintain a high level of quality.” And this can also be achieved in three-shift operation, seven days a week.
„It is very important to us that the machines are reliable.“
JUNKER meets the highest quality requirements The high-quality finish of the camshafts for the engine plays a key role. To achieve this, Triumph uses four Lean Selection cam machines from JUNKER across the Group. In addition to its headquarters in England, Triumph also has production sites in Chonburi, Thailand. The motorcycle manufacturer produces around 56,000 bikes each year at both locations and has had a positive experience with the Lean Selection cam for high-speed grinding. Jack Sellers said: “It is

He goes on to mention an example of rapid support for unusual requirements: “We grind very small concave radii on the camshafts. Due to a flange positioned in the center of the workpiece, we had to come up with a solution to ensure that the spindle housing did not collide with the workpiece. JUNKER supplied an integrated turning station – a clever, custom-made solution.”
Extremely pleased with the service

The Lean Selection cam from JUNKER is the right choice for companies that require flexible production. The available grinding operations include cylindrical and non-cylindrical grinding. Cylindrical, convex, concave, polygonal or elliptical workpiece geometries can be ground – with chamfers or radii if needed. It is particularly important for the motorcycle manufacturer that cams and bearings can be ground on the same machine in a single clamping set-up.
JUNKER assists with the integration of new machines. Triumph employees completed training for programmers so that the new machines would be up and running right away. Jack Sellers said: “The trainers from JUNKER were highly motivated, capable and explained everything. This meant that we had a good understanding of the machines right away.” The Production Engineer is also highly satisfied with the service in England and Thailand. “If we have any inquiries, JUNKER is quick to respond and suggest solutions. As a whole, we have had a very positive experience with JUNKER Service.”
„The trainers from JUNKER were highly motivated and capable“
Quick changeover for new workpieces Triumph has stringent requirements when it comes to flexible production. Technical improvements to components mean that the grinding process needs to be constantly re-adjusted. The Lean Selection cam makes it quick and easy to produce this wide range of high-quality parts. Small series require rapid machine changeover, which is where the machine’s easy operation proves itself. “Our setup engineers who work with the Lean Selection cam can change over the workpiece and associated program,” said Jack Sellers.
JUNKER Lean Selection cam The Lean Selection cam is an economical and flexible machine concept for machining camshafts in all batch sizes. (Source: JUNKER)

hether it be in reshaping, punching, pressing or metal cutting, process monitoring is the key to an optimised production. Process monitoring helps the worker in every phase: from the fitting of the machine to the observation of the production process to the quick stop in case of the threat of damage to the machine. Every machine tool is a complex construction carrying out the actual processing work by means of one or several tools. In the end, the quality of the product is determined by the behaviour of the tool and the work piece. Any influencing quantities affecting the machine (or the process) will in the end be seen in the process quality. Thus, the process is affected by changes in the machines, in the tool, the environment (temperature), etc. Only if this process has defined courses, will the product quality meet the requirements. Intentional or accidental
changes to these influencing quantities will have an effect on the process quality. BRANKAMP process monitoring devices are fitted directly to the machine to record a process quality factor (PQ factor). This factor is displayed on the devices. To monitor a process, certain limits need to be set, with the process monitoring device initiating a warning or a stop. Process monitoring without sensor technology The worker keeps an eye on the process according to his experience. In so doing, he visually observes the process. Due to his experience, he knows that he will be able to hear certain disruptions and, in the end, by measuring the work pieces, draw conclusions about deviations in the process. The more today’s machine tools are enclosed, the less he is able to

watch or hear anything directly. He is therefore fully dependent on trouble signals or on the results of his measurements. Process monitoring with BRANKAMP sensors By means of sensor technology, recording the course of the process between the tool and the work piece, the worker is able to watch the process purposefully. The relevant quantity will, in the following, be described as the PQ (process quality) factor. The more sensitive the sensor technology and the more intelligent the measuring parts are, the better and more ”accurate“ is the PQ factor.
In addition, the worker will, in the course of time, learn to assess the PQ factor correctly. The standard display shows the current process factor, the highest PQ factor thus far, and a limit set by him. He can then draw the appropriate conclusions from observing any changes and intervene or optimise. Displaying suitable factors for the process provides the worker with considerable advantages with respect to the optimisation of the process and the ability to influence the costs. With the PQ factor, the worker, for the first time, has an objective measured variable by means of which he is able to assess the process quality. https://www.marposs.com

Success Story | SCHULER
The automotive supplier Weser Metall Umformtechnik has ordered a 1,600-ton TwinServo press from Schuler. Picture: Schuler
WMU orders TwinServo press from Schuler Automotive supplier Weser Metall Umformtechnik also equips three existing systems with the digital helper Smart Assist
W
eser Metall Umformtechnik (WMU) GmbH fully relies on digitization and networking. The automotive supplier from Hann. Münden in southern Lower Saxony, Germany, has ordered not only a TwinServo press with Smart Assist from Schuler, but also equips three more systems with the digital helper. In addition, WMU is accelerating the production start of the new machine with virtual operator training and virtual commissioning. This is made possible by the digital twin of the 1,600-ton press with TwinServo technology
(TST), which is connected to the control system including machine and system visualization. Thus, all functions can be simulated on the computer in order to test software in advance and adapt it to the needs of the customer, for example. In addition, the employees of WMU get to know the system while it is still being set up – and without taking the risk of incorrect operation. The Smart Assist also supports the start of production of the press. The digital assistant software – which not only runs on the press control but also on a tablet or similar mobile

device –guides the user through the setup process step-by-step with the aid of videos and graphics, optimizes the movement curves of slide and transfer fully automatically, and transfers the data to the overall system.In addition to the new TST system, WMU also equips two Schuler MSD servo presses with 400 and 630 tons of press force and a 2,000-ton TSD machine. The solutions from Schuler's Smart Press Shop were one of the decisive factors for placing the order, in addition to various other decisionmaking criteria. Schuler has set itself the goal of being the world's leading digital press manufacturer. WMU also has many other systems from the Schuler Group, including a line from Müller Weingarten. The 1,600-ton TwinServo press can be easily integrated into the machine park due to its compact dimensions. It is much lower than comparable conventional systems and – despite its under floor drive – requires only a marginally larger foundation. What's more, despite its low press force, it can form the same parts as a conventional TSD 2,000-ton machine. This provides a welcome alternative for production.
The customers of WMU include well-known car manufacturers. Last year, the supplier, who was founded in 1953 and also has a production site in Namibia, achieved sales of just under Euro 100 million with almost 500 employees. With this investment, the Korean shareholder Sungwoo Hitech strengthens its production site in Germany.

TRUMPF Presents New 3D printer for Medical Devices Compact system is equally well-suited for dental devices, tool and mold making
G
erman high-tech company TRUMPF unveiled a new 3D printer at Frankfurt’s Formnext, the leading international trade fair for additive manufacturing. Called TruPrint 2000, it lends itself to medical engineering and other applications
with lofty standards and quality. TRUMPF experts revamped the system so inert gas now flows through it back to front. This enhances printed parts’ quality. In another new development, the operator can now remove excess powder from the component right there in the system

rather than having to take it out and unpack it at a separate station, as in the past. This is easier and saves time when dealing with the smaller build chambers of 3D printers such as the TruPrint 2000. The newly designed machine now processes the printing powder in an inert gas environment, which prevents contaminants from infiltrating he powder circuit. This is a key advantage for sensitive medical devices and the like.
“With the TruPrint 2000, we are showing that TRUMPF puts the needs of AM-focused industries first – that is, the aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering, tool and mold making, and the medical and dental engineering industries. The TruPrint 2000 enables manufacturers to take advantages of additive manufacturing’s benefits – particularly medical and dental engineering companies,” says Klaus Parey, managing director TRUMPF Additive Manufacturing. Highest productivity at low cost The TruPrint 2000 features the Multilaser design. Two 300-watt lasers working in tandem illuminate the 3D printer’s entire build chamber to boost the system’s productivity. Taking the same approach as for the TruPrint 1000, TRUMPF development engineers reduced the TruPrint 2000 laser’s focal diameter to 55 micrometers to print components with smoother surfaces, enhanced quality and intricate grid structures. The TruPrint 2000 is perfectly at home printing parts out of titanium, a material that figures prominently in medical devices. Companies

do not need a separate unpacking station, so they also save money with this printer. “The machine’s new design brings the benefits of lean manufacturing to users. It requires fewer add-ons, so the entry-level investment is lower for companies that want to get into AM,” says Florian Krist, product manager at TRUMPF Additive Manufacturing. Digital monitoring built in Users enjoy the benefits of automated powder bed and melt pool quality monitoring. In the event of an error, the system notifies the operator, who can then take remedial action. Another great benefit is an end-toend documentation trail that corroborates the quality of the printing process. This is a key prerequisite for the additive manufacturing of medical devices. Getting implants to patients that much faster TRUMPF has already used the new machine to print interbody cages, which are implanted to
add stability to the spine. These can be inserted as a placeholder between two vertebrae to restore the vertebral segment’s natural height. The lasers’ small focal diameter lends itself to fabricating the implants’ intricate structures. Healthy bone tissue adheres well to these structures. It takes this new system just 24 hours to produce 19 spinal implants. It not only serves medical engineering companies well; it is also an excellent choice for dental applications and tool and mold making. With 300 watts of laser power, it has no trouble handling standard materials such as cobalt-chromium alloys. With that kind of performance, it can readily fabricate dental casts as well as injection-molded parts with complex internal cooling channels. “They provide a more precise way of controlling the temperature of tools during production, which makes them more durable and improves cast parts’ machining quality. This also slashes cycle time for printed tools and boosts productivity.

Spotlight On Indonesia The island nation is Partner Country at HANNOVER MESSE 2020
I
ndonesia has been selected as the official Partner Country for HANNOVER MESSE 2020. From 20 to 24 April 2020, this resource-rich country will occupy center stage at the world’s leading trade show for industrial technology. Indonesia is the biggest economy within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and by 2030, Indonesia is expected to rise to the ranks of the world’s 10 largest economies. Indonesia is already striving to become Southeast Asia’s leading digital economy by the year 2020. The country’s “Making Indonesia 4.0” roadmap is dedicated to modernizing Indonesian industry through the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies and the expansion of cooperative ventures. The initiative involves stakeholders like government authorities, industry associations, private corporations, universities, and investors. “Making Indonesia 4.0” primarily involves the topics of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, enterprise wearables, advanced robotics and 3-D printing. The Indonesian government is currently developing incentives for companies that have signed on to this roadmap. In addition, Indonesia is focusing on expanding its digital economy, providing training for workers in the relevant fields. Research and development spending will increase around 2 percent of GDP. "We feel honored and look forward to being the Partner Country at HANNOVER MESSE next year. Indonesia and Germany are two key countries from two key regions of the world – Europe and Southeast Asia. I believe there will be many good opportunities to step up cooperation, both during the show and
beyond. Indonesia is working to become Southeast Asia’s leading digital economy by 2020. The ‘Making Indonesia 4.0’ initiative was developed in order to strengthen the manufacturing industry through the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies. In the initial implementation phase, we are focusing on five areas: food and beverages, textiles, automotive, chemicals and electronics,” reports Arif Havas Oegroseno, Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the Federal Republic of Germany. “As the Partner Country for HANNOVER MESSE, Indonesia is not only strengthening its strong economic ties to Germany, but is also showcasing itself at the world’s leading industrial event,” remarked Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Managing Board at Deutsche Messe. “At HANNOVER MESSE, Indonesian companies will have access to more than 200,000 attending professionals and some 6,000 exhibitors. This is a fine opportunity for Indonesian companies to generate new business leads, find out about the latest technology and expand their global networks. And HANNOVER MESSE visitors will have an excellent opportunity to see everything that Indonesia has to offer.” Germany and Indonesia Germany and Indonesia have maintained amicable diplomatic relations for 60 years. Although neither country counts among the other’s leading sales markets, important economic relationships do exist. The trade volume between Germany and Indonesia amounted to more than USD 6 billion in 2017. Germany’s exports to Indonesia consisted mainly of machines, chemical products, measuring and control technology, electrical engineering, electronics, vehicles and vehicle parts. Indonesia in turn exported mainly textiles, shoes, electronics, food and raw materials to Germany. Currently more than 250 German companies are conducting business in Indonesia, among them Festo, Robert Bosch, SAP, TÜV NORD, Siemens, MAN, ThyssenKrupp, BASF, Bayer, Daimler and BMW. The “Partner Country” concept Every year, HANNOVER MESSE focuses on a particular country. The Partner Country attracts not only the attention of trade visitors and the media – it also plays a role at the highest levels of government. In recent years, HANNOVER MESSE partner countries have included Sweden, Mexico, Poland, the United States, and India.
