Editor’s Corner The Future Is Bright When You Automate Your Manufacturing Manufacturers are looking to a bright future past the current crisis through automation. It’s no surprise that companies around the USA have begun using automated machinery and equipment to support human workers in machine shops, warehouses, auto manufacturing, and on assembly lines.

Slow turnaround on jobs can be a deal breaker for many manufacturing customers. Automation lets a manufacturing company process orders faster, reduce setup and production times, maintain a safer work environment, and get the product out to the customer quicker. Computers and machines can do many things faster and more accurately than humans – without making mistakes.

LIGHTS OUT MANUFACTURING. An unused manufacturing plant at night is a wasted asset.Yet, the cost of running 2nd and 3rd shifts can be prohibitive. Automating your manufacturing systems puts your biggest asset to full use without the need for humans.Advantages of “lights out” manufacturing include reduced labor, lighting, and HVAC costs while increasing throughput.

REDUCE SCRAP AND REWORK. Even highly skilled operators can’t match the repeatable accuracy automation produces on routine or less complex processes. Some automated machines can also perform multiple operations, eliminating the time required to move materials from one work center to another.

ELIMINATE PAPER. Paper documents slow down the production process by getting lost, misfiled or sent to the wrong person. With automated document management one can stop shuffling papers and start focusing their human capital on making decisions and creating value.When you digitally send the right data to the right people at the right time, shop floor personnel no longer waste time hunting down routers, drawings, BOMs, POs, or inventory lists.

Machines have made jobs obsolete for centuries.The spinning jenny replaced weavers, buttons displaced elevator operators, and the Internet drove travel agencies out of business. One study estimates that about 400,000 jobs were lost to automation in U.S. factories from 1990 to 2007.

But the drive to replace humans with machinery is accelerating as companies work to avoid workplace infections and to keep operating costs low.The U.S. shed around 40 million jobs at the peak of the pandemic, and while some have come back, some will never return. As these simple jobs fall by the wayside, they will be replaced by training in higher paying essential jobs.

Changes In The Manufacturing Industry Post-Covid-19 May Surprise You As we enter the seventh month of business interruptions as a result of Covid-19, the chatter in the manufacturing community has turned from, “What short-term changes do we need to make to adapt to the current environment?” to, “What, if any, permanent changes or trends do we expect to rise out of the current crisis?”

While the trade publications offer bold prognostications that things will never be the same, a measure of caution should be read into any of these predictions.

The pandemic may in fact bring about sweeping, and lasting, changes to the way manufacturers operate their facilities, but there is an equal, if not greater, likelihood that changes will be relatively minor compared with what some predict.

A common assumption is that the pandemic will lead manufacturers to reassess and further enhance their transitions to automation. The thinking being, if machines can’t get sick, when the next pandemic (or other similar event) hits, we will continue to turn out widgets at the same pace. This thinking is flawed for a few reasons. In the first instance, our collective memories are

Ready for an unstoppable money-making tandem?

This is the NHP 5000 with RPS. On its own, the NHP 5000 is a powerful 40 taper, 500mm pallet horizontal machining center. But when teamed with the stackable multi-level Rotary Pallet System (RPS), it becomes legendary. With a compact floor layout and vertical structure, the RPS keeps you running lights out—without taking up valuable square footage. And if projects change constantly from month to month, JIT scheduling on the RPS cuts setup times like 15,000 r/min cuts aluminum.

The 3-tier, 21-pallet RPS is the perfect partner for the massive metal removal of the NHP 5000.

So buckle up, because you’re about to produce day in and night out.

short; lessons learned by players in finance and banking during the global financial crisis were largely cast aside once a level of normalcy returned and balance sheets regained their strength.

S e c o n d , a key va l u e p r o p o s i t i o n o f manufacturing automation is that machines are cheaper than human labor. But in an environment of record-high unemployment, wage deflation is likely on the way, if not already here. The lower wages will erode the value proposition of what is typically a substantial upfront investment required by implementation of automated solutions. That isn’t to say the constant march toward automation will slow down, but rather that the pandemic is unlikely to materially increase spending on these projects, especially in an uncertain economic environment.

against the likelihood that the Covid-19 pandemic is a once-in-a-century event, make it very unlikely that a critical mass of manufacturers will deviate from JIT conventions in any real fashion.

The one category of manufacturers that may see some substantial changes is meat processing. As currently conducted, meat processing is nearly impossible to do in a socially distanced manner.

The processing plants require large numbers of people, working closely together, to operate. The longer the pandemic drags on, and assuming it will be at least another year before a vaccine with herd-immunity-producing efficacy will be available and widely distributed, meat processors will be at constant risk of outbreaks and disruptions for the foreseeable future. As a result, investments in plant configuration and automation make more financial sense in meat processing than in other sectors.

In these times, it is a fool’s errand to predict what the world will look like in a week, so long-term predictions are the very definition of speculation. However, it seems unlikely that the pandemic will spur sweeping changes in the way manufacturers operate. By Steven J. Boender – Stoel Rives LLP

US Urged To Subsidise Electric Cars On National Security Grounds

Another common refrain is that manufacturers with global supply chains will rethink their use of “just-in-time” procurement. To the uninitiated, “just in time” (or JIT), broadly simplified, means that inputs to production (raw materials, subcomponents, etc.) are received from suppliers at the moment they are needed on the factory floor.

The US must urgently build up an electric vehicles industry or risk becoming dependent on China for its automotive future, a group of senior military and business leaders have warned.

The benefits of this system include essentially eliminating storage/warehousing costs, and providing the manufacturer with flexibility as demand waxes and wanes.The downside, which we are seeing now, is that when one or more elements of that supply chain are hobbled by a pandemic, the whole system grinds to a halt until those elements are back online.The theory goes that if manufacturers would have had more raw materials inventory available at the time the pandemic hit, they would have been better equipped to keep the lines moving once it did.

China is in the process of consolidating control of the supply chain for electrified transport — from mineral extraction and battery production to manufacture and sales of the vehicles themselves — according to the group, Securing Amer ica’s Future Energy, whic h campaigns for US energy security.

However, a step back from JIT would require a sea change in the way global manufacturers operate.

Contracts would have to be renegotiated, there would be a massive need for turnkey warehousing facilities, and costs would invariably go up in a meaningful way. Those downsides, when factored A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

Chinese dominance within the next five years risks the “withering of the US automobile industry” and the loss of millions jobs supported by the country’s auto sector today, said Admiral Dennis Blair, a former director of national intelligence, who sits on SAFE’s energy security leadership council.

“It would be reduced to a small share of the market, producing electric vehicles that are not as advanced and as attractive as those produced by China and by Chinese subsidiaries, and a loss of jobs, industrial depth and technological skill,” he said.

China has come to play a leading role in the development of EVs. The US trails it in the extraction of minerals such as lithium, graphite and rare earths, as well as the production of lithium-ion batteries and finished EVs. There were 1.2m EVs sold in China last year, compared to 320,000 in the US, according to McKinsey.

“They not only have more electric vehicles purchased in their market, they have more companies, they build more batteries, they have gone around the world for rare earths and other metals that go into these vehicles and locked up or gained preferred access to many of them,” Admiral Blair said. “So they have a jump on the direction that the electrical vehicle industry is going.”

According to Simon Moores of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, China produced 72 per cent of the world’s lithium-ion batteries in 2019, while the US accounted for just 9 per cent. He warned in May that the US was falling further behind, as China is building one battery factory a week, while the US builds one every four months.

China “has not just built an entire suite of supersized battery megafactories for its auto industry, but the supply chain to feed them”, he said. “China produces only 23 per cent of key battery raw materials combined.Yet it produced 80 per cent of the next step in the chain — battery chemicals — and 66 per cent of cathodes, 82 per cent of anodes and 72 per cent of battery cells.”

SAFE — whose leadership council comprises executives from several large US companies, including Royal Caribbean Cruises, FedEx and L-3 Communications — wants the US to revive and expand federal incentives to buy EVs and develop a supply chain for minerals that avoids China, as well as allowing US companies to work together to counter China’s ascendancy.

Still, the US may have a considerable edge over other carmakers in the form of Tesla,

The warning comes weeks ahead of the US presidential election. Joe Biden, the Democratic contender, has thrown his weight behind the expansion of the US electric vehicle market, promising to deploy half a million new public charging outlets by the end of 2030 and restore tax credits.

How Oregon Works: The State Of Apprenticeships In A Covid World Covid Has Forced Furloughs, But Training For Jobs In The Trades Is Ongoing CMM Revo Half Page Final.indd 1

The COVID-19 pandemic has created anxiety in the workplace and limited job opportunities. While apprenticeships also have taken a hit, these programs are needed more than ever to narrow the skills gap and improve the job outlook for future employees while developing the talent essential for an economic rebound. To gain insight into the current state of apprenticeships, we spoke with Oregon Commissioner of Labor Val Hoyle.

Since most apprenticeships are done in person, how has COVID affected programs? Oregon apprentice training programs were significantly impacted by the pandemic – new apprentice numbers dropped and programs had to quickly adapt and implement new guidance and regulations to keep workers safe. Many programs were able to quickly pivot to online learning. Others have instituted strict protocols, limiting the number of apprentices in the building at any time, staggering classes to ensure a six-foot distance is maintained, set up barriers in lab settings, provided outdoor training where available, taking temperatures and other safety measures.

Can you provide an example? There was a huge uptick in hospitalizations and increased need for isolated care at the beginning of the pandemic, A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

4/6/2020 2:04:17 PM and there was a significant shortage of skilled frontline workers to keep rooms sterile and safe. We worked with Lane Community College and hospitals to quickly approve and register an Environmental Services Certification Pre-Apprenticeship program to help fill that need.

What effect will the pandemic have on future talent? Fewer apprentices entering apprenticeship programs now means that in a few years there could be a shortage of skilled workers. The good news is that apprenticeship programs are very resilient and have a lot of experience scaling up and down as industry needs change.

While we have seen a recent drop in apprentice registrations around the state, I’m encouraged to see that efforts to recruit and keep women and people of color in programs, in particular, are paying off. We saw a significant increase in the number of women entering apprenticeship programs in 2019 and those numbers are holding steady despite these difficult times.

How will youth from disadvantaged backgrounds fare? What if they don’t have access to computers/virtual learning? School-based programs, youth pre-apprenticeship programs and registered apprenticeships often provide tablets or tablets to eliminate barriers to access, and we’ve seen an expansion of programs that work with youth from rural areas and disadvantaged backgrounds. Limited broadband internet in rural and economically challenged areas is a concern for

programs into more geographical areas in the future.

Do you anticipate per manent changes? Yes. I think everyone is learning that some ability to do remote learning provides greater flexibility for employees and trainees. The ability to provide distance/online training has the potential to expand the reach of

What’s your advice for individuals interested in apprenticeships at this point? Keep applying!

Programs are still registering new apprentices even if it has slowed down. Things will pick up, and apprenticeship programs are a great way to get jobs that pay a living wage.

Though some expect autonomous driving technology to phase out semi drivers, Daimler claims drivers will still be needed once its self-driving platform is commercialized.

Due to the demand for freight hauling being larger than the current pool of qualified drivers, self-driving trucks will help fill a need in the market, Narayanan said. Drivers will also be able to work in one location as opposed to driving across the country under Daimler’s proposed model, meaning they will be able to return home after a day of work, Narayanan said.

Daimler’s pursuit of autonomous trucking is driven by safety, according to the company.

The company, which has offices in El Segundo, California, and Austin, Texas, has received $2 million to develop the Slingshot Orbital Laboratory.

By Annlee Slingshot Aerospace Inc., which aims to help organizations leverage data from Earth and space with its situational awareness technology, has been tapped to build an immersive space simulation tool for the United States Space Force.

Slingshot is partnering with The Third Floor visualization studio, which has worked on films such as “Gravity,” “The Martian” and “The Mandalorian,” to co-create an interactive space visualization tool based on physics.

“Space operators need to understand complicated concepts like astrodynamics, the effects of various items in orbit, and how spacecrafts maneuver among other objects in space — all of which demand more adaptive, interactive and tailorable educational tools Continued Next PageGE 10

than what we are currently using,” said Col. Max Lantz, Commandant, National Security Space Institute, United States Air Force, in a statement. “Building an immersive environment to drive better comprehension of these foundational theories will be vital to support the Space Force.”

The Slingshot Orbital Laboratory aims to be be an easy-to-use tool that will teach users — anyone from students to pros — the fundamentals of space domain awareness, including complex astrodynamics. The goal is to provide a fresh and engaging way to perceive, comprehend and predict the relationship between objects in space and orbital scenarios.

Under this contract, Slingshot Aerospace will provide space domain and data expertise, and The Third Floor will provide the visualization component. The first version of the Slingshot Orbital Laboratory will be built for personal computers but with multi-platform augmented and virtual reality in mind.

The project will leverage Slingshot Platform and Slingshot Orbital products to enable users to govern their own virtual universe where they can learn to make better and faster decisions. For example, the tool will allow students to manage time, adjust the orbital elements of real or synthetic satellites or other objects, and toggle various aspects of the physics on or off. In addition, they’ll be able to explore orbital and satellite parameters in real time, allowing them to visualize and analyze orbit characteristics.

Using the Slingshot Orbital Laboratory, students will be able to create orbits; learn orbital mechanics governed by complex physics; design complex scenarios such as launch profiles and spacecraft-to-spacecraft rendezvous; and connect multi-domain factors such as land and sea coverage and geopolitical influences.

“We are designing a tool for the Space Force to better prepare teams for the complexities of space and to maintain superiority in this contested domain,” added Slingshot co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Melanie Stricklan. “The goal of the Slingshot Orbital Laboratory as an educational tool is to help forge the next generation of Space Force leaders, and it will also be designed with real-world capabilities that can help Space Force operational centers nationwide with scenario planning.” Ellingson – Staff Reporter, L.A.

Manufacturing in U.S. Expands at Fastest Pace Since Late 2018 U.S. manufacturing expanded in August at the fastest pace since late 2018, powered by growth in new orders that are a bright spot in an otherwise struggling economy.

A gauge of factory activity increased to 56 during the month from 54.2 in July, Institute for Supply Management data showed Tuesday. Readings above 50 indicate expansion, and the figure surpassed nearly every estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists and the median projection of 54.8.

The purchasing managers group’s measure of orders, which jumped more than 6 points, reached the highest point since the start of 2004.The increase in bookings, along with declining inventories, should continue to underpin production. The ISM’s gauge of output improved to a more than two-year high, though factory employment remained weak.

September 2020 Business Conditions Report: Small Uptick In Metal Formers’ Optimism, But Challenges Continue Metal forming companies predict a small improvement in business conditions during the next three months, according to the September 2020 Precision Metalforming Association Business Conditions Report.

Prepared monthly, the report provides an economic indicator for manufacturing, sampling 109 metal forming companies in the U.S. and Canada.

The report shows that 40% of metal forming companies predict an improvement in economic activity during the next three months (a slight increase from 38% in August), 49% expect no change (compared to 45% last month), and 11% anticipate a decline in activity (a decrease from 17% in August).

The survey also revealed that metal formers experienced a slight uptick in current average daily shipping levels in September, with 59% reporting an increase in shipping levels compared to three months ago (up from 52% in August), 22% reporting no change (compared to 21% in August), and 19% reporting a decrease (down from 27% in August).

The survey also showed little change in incoming orders, with 50% of participants predicting an increase in orders during the next three A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

Improved factory activity, along with strength in housing and auto sales, suggest the fledgling recovery is beginning to broaden. The gradual reopening of businesses and steady improvement in consumer demand that left inventories depleted are boosting manufacturing, helping support the economic rebound amid elevated unemployment and layoffs across industries.

“The index was stronger than July but we’re still recovering from the historically low levels of the pandemic,” said Timothy Fiore, chairman of the ISM Business Survey Committee, said on a call with reporters. At the same time, Fiore said he expects the recent strength to continue in September, traditionally a good month for factories.

Stocks maintained gains, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note was little changed and the dollar rose.

Fifteen of the 18 manufacturing industries tracked by the ISM, the most since March 2019, reported growth in August, led by wood products, plastics and rubber, food and textiles.

Comments From ISM Respondents “Business is very good. Production cannot keep up with demand.” – Chemical Products “Current sales to domestic markets are substantially stronger than forecasted.” – Fabricated Metals

Homebuilder business continues to be robust, with month-over-month gains continuing since May.” – Wood Products “Capital equipment new orders have slowed again. Quoting is active. Many customers waiting for the fourth quarter to make any commitments.” – Machinery “We are seeing solid month-overmonth order improvement in all manufacturing sectors such as electrical, auto and industrial goods.

Looking to add a few factory operators.”

– Plastics The pickup in U.S. manufacturing output is slightly faster than Europe’s, according to separate data from IHS Markit. At the same time, an acceleration in new orders contrasts with a slight slowdown in that gauge for the euro area, highlighting uneven global growth.

In addition, the U.S. gains aren’t enough yet to bring back manufacturing jobs: The ISM’s employment index, while rising to a six-month high in August, continued to show factories are cutting staff.

The ISM report doesn’t detail the actual levels of improvement in manufacturing since the survey of purchasing managers asks whether activity is increasing, decreasing or stagnant. So the figures are subject to big swings during turning points in the economy such as now.

The ISM’s index of factory inventories fell to 44.4 in August, the lowest since January 2014, indicating stockpiles were declining at a faster pace.

Customer inventories contracted at the quickest rate since June 2010, the report showed.

“The recovery in production is badly lagging the stronger turnaround in spending, with the result that

inventories are now looking very lean,” Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics Ltd., said in a note. “That points to further gains in production in the months ahead.”

The overall manufacturing gauge was also boosted by a slowdown in delivery times, which indicates supply bottlenecks. The ISM’s measure of export orders also rose to the highest level since the start of the year.

Forged From The Great Fires and Always Adapting To Meet Customer’s Needs.

Hardware and Foundry Co. to The Coeur d’Alene Company in 1960.

Today Cd’A Metals is a complete ‘One Stop Shop’ fabricating facility and metals supplier with state of the art metal cutting and metal working machinery, some of which are the largest in the West.

Innovation is key to their growth and the leaders at Cd’A Metals are always looking for the best and latest fabrication equipment.

Cd’A (Coeur d’Alene) Metals has a history rich in the gold industry. In the early 1800’s gold was discovered in the northern mountains of Idaho and placer claims dotted the area with many mining camps. Gold mining was an arduous task and sometimes a lot of hard work paid dirt, but sometimes no gold. James Marks and Billy Hart thought there must be a better way to make a living than prospecting for the elusive gold and in 1884 in a meager commercial space in Murray, ID, the two hung up a sign that read “J.R. Marks and Co.”This became the areas first mining supply store for hardware and metals such as copper, tin, and sheet ironware.

The gold deposits waned and in its place were found large deposits of silver, lead, and zinc. The gold camps were abandoned and large underground mining companies occupied the Coeur d’Alene mining district. The J.R Marks and Co. business did well and in 1890 they had five stores in camps within the Coeur d’Alene mining district.

The headquarters in Murray moved to Wallace in the center of what was referred to as Silver Valley at the time and then to Spokane in 1889 and helped to rebuild the city after what was referred to as the great fire. The company moved back to Wallace in 1892 after assisting in the renovation from the great fire and as they grew, expanded a metal service, processing facility, hardware wholesaler and evolved as a renowned mining equipment manufacturer. They added a foundry in 1913 for mining and mill castings and in 1966 expanded to service multitudes of other businesses and moved again to Spokane, WA to grow as one of the largest metal service centers in an area that covered WA to MN. This monumental move allowed the company to become a bridge builder with the largest of their bridges, winning a prize as what was termed “Most Beautiful Long Span” bridge across the Libby Reservoir that was completed in 1971 and a bridge completed in 1972 across the Dworshak Reservoir.

J. R. Marks and Company went through a few name changes along the way and changed to Holley Mason & Marks to The Coeur d’Alene A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

The company has grown under the leadership of Larry Coulson to a modern fabrication center with fiber lasers, tube lasers and some of the largest CNC operated bending machine brakes capable of bending very thick, very long (28 feet) very large gauge steel and various other metal types. Cd’A teams with many metal fabrication companies that do not have the capability to fabricate some of the larger intricate assemblies and they deliver a very wide variety of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, cold rolled steel, hot rolled, and wear resistant steel.

They are capable of band sawing metal and also plasma cut, oxy-fuel cut, press brake form and fabricate assemblies complete to print or just furnish raw material to customer specifications. Cd’A furnishes turn key abrasion resistant Hardox 450 and 500 wear plate that is perfect for heavy duty container, dump trucks, excavator buckets, gears, sprockets, cutting edges, and structural heavy load bearing applications.

Larry says, “To be successful at supplying parts and kits of parts to our manufacturing customers, we must have reliable and accurate processing equipment. Our five best press brakes were made by Accurpress, a leading press brake and shear company. Our laser cutting machines are Mazak and our band saws are Behringer. We purchase all three of these great brands through Fahey Machinery. We have found Fahey Machinery’s people to have integrity. Their maintenance people prevent reoccurring problems by seeking to solve root causes and their sales and management people have thorough knowledge of the equipment they provide. For decades, Fahey Machinery has contributed to our success.”

Larry’s father began buying stock in The Coeur d’Alenes Company in the 60’s when, right out of college, he started with the company. He bought about half of the company stock during his career. Now that he has passed away, Larry’s mother owns his stock. Larry spent his career buying the other half of the company stock from the remaining non-family stockholders. Now, instead of over 2,000 stockholders, the Coulson extended family owns 100% of the stock inThe Coeur d’Alenes Company.

Cd’A utilizes self-directed work teams to manage the detail level of

the company. They magnify the production capacity of their team members with intelligent processing equipment, whereby they are able to pay above market rates to get and keep the best people. These days, the greatest limitation seems to be people. The Cd’A business model is laser focused on their customers’ needs and they provide the parts in the form of kits that have exactly what their customers ask for.

Cd’A gets it right, in terms of magnitude, much more often than anybody in the business. The customers that know what errors cost them and care about it buy from Cd’A. The customers that focus on unit pricing and ignore their total cost buy from the other guy.

Cd’A’s niche is to provide complete kits, on time, every time. That means nothing extra and nothing missing, and all key specifications are confirmed. They do more types of metal processing than anyone else that serves the whole region. They get it right more often than anybody in the industry, and they serve their customers to the nth degree. This includes manufacturers of equipment used in packaging, mining, food processing, transportation, road building, DOD, medical, energy.

Cd’A has improved it’s business with intelligent processing equipment and has substantially kept up with available technology. They have their own software that is coded internally, whereby leading the industry on that front.

The future is bright for Cd’A Metals! They are looking at new equipment like a Kinetic plate processor to expand their capabilities into thicker plate and are studying the value of using robots to further expand the production capacity of the workforce. The next phase of evolution for Cd’A could reside in additive manufacturing. The team is avidly looking to this new 3D manufacturing capability to continue to grow the business. In five years Larry expects to be twice their size with their sights focused on the $100 million mark. To accomplish this they must expand the capabilities of Cd’A’s workforce further.

Larry says, “In my mind, it’s not the mistakes you’ve made that measure you. Your measure is: what you do about it going forward to reduce problems by finding and

implementing better solutions not just as individual employees, but as a whole team. You might say: We get it. There is no perfect, there is only the honest and continuous pursuit of perfection.”

BIG DEAL Last December, when Time magazine listed the Haliade-X among the best i nve n t i o n s o f 2019, it was just one in a series of milestones for the mighty machine — the most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation today.

Fo l l ow i n g i t s moment in the media spotlight, the Haliade-X proceeded to set a world record by generating 288 megawatt-hours of electrical energy in a single day. Now it’s passed another landmark: Monday GE Renewable Energy signed the first contract for the spinning champion, agreeing

to supply 190 Haliade-X 13 MW wind turbines for Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B, the first two phases of what will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm, located in the North Sea some 130 kilometers off the English coast.

They grow up so fast: The Haliade-X has quickly become a major player in offshore wind. “The one thing I learned in my career is never doubt the capability of GE’s engineering talent, regardless of the technology,” said John Lavelle, CEO of GE Renewable Energy’s Offshore Wind unit.

Lavelle’s team decided to go big, designing a machine with blades that stretch 107 meters apiece, and last year began testing a prototype of the Haliade-X at the Port of Rotterdam. The working prototype revealed strengths of a turbine initially referred to as the Haliade-X 12 MW. The Dogger Bank contract is for a turbine called the Haliade-X 13 MW — the team figured out how to generate one more megawatt than was in their original goals. When the Dogger Bank project is completed — slated for 2026 — it’s projected to be able to supply 3.6 gigawatts of electrical power, enough to supply 4.5 million U.K. households.

The road ahead: Lavelle andVincent Schellings, who leads the development of the turbine, say they now think of the Haliade-X as a platform, where they can increase its output without starting from scratch on a new design.

Lavelle said the working machine gave GE a “strategic road map to have a sustainable competitive advantage in the offshore wind industry.That’s our goal.” And that’s a good place to be:With the International Energy Agency projecting that global offshore wind will attract a cumulative $1 trillion in investment by 2040, this is an industry with a strong breeze to its back.

Catch And Release: This Hybrid System Could Help Reduce Aviation’s Carbon Emissions

By Brett Nelson

The airline industry has come a long way in terms of fuel efficiency. The amount of fuel burned per passenger has dropped 80% since 1960, thanks to new engines designed with tougher and lighter materials. But those savings, along with cheaper tickets, have also fueled passenger growth — to more than 1 billion fliers annually before the pandemic — which has offset the industry’s savings in net carbon emissions. True, the airlines and military have also tested and proven the feasibility of biofuels. But they can be twice as expensive as mineral fuels at this time and haven’t achieved commercial viability, thus sending aviation engineers to seek a different solution. “Now we need something fundamentally different to take the next leap,” says John Yagielski, senior principal engineer at GE’s Global Research Center in Niskayuna, New York.

We believe that we are stronger and more viable when we manufacture precision components for USA Manufacturing!

That technical challenge is twofold, and both sides are daunting.The first element, part of ARPA-E’s REEACH initiative (for Range Extenders for Electric Aviation with Low Carbon and High Efficiency), focuses on how to convert a cleaner-burning biofuel into megawatts of electricity. The second, under the ASCEND program (Aviation-Class Synergistically Cooled Electric Motors with Integrated Drives), tackles how to turn that electrical energy into enough thrust to fly a 737-class commercial jet.

A traditional jet engine ignites jet fuel mixed with air to drive a massive fan upfront, which creates the bulk of the thrust that makes the plane soar and cruise. In the new configuration proposed by the GE team, an electric motor spins the fan to generate thrust. The power would come from a two-step process that combines a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and a gas turbine, with both running on a plant-based, carbon-neutral fuel.

(The fuel is carbonneutral because it’s made from plants that absorbed atmospheric carbon. It produces no incremental CO2 when burned.)

In this theoretical design, the SOFC will be designed to mix gasified biofuel and compressed air to produce electricity and heat. The electricity will drive the motor spinning the engine fan. The heat exhaust and any excess fuel will do a second shift inside the gas turbine, where they will mix with more fuel to drive the turbine and further help spin another electric generator. “The reuse of SOFC exhaust is akin to a combined-cycle power plant, in which heat expelled from a A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

gas turbine is used to drive a steam turbine,” Joshi explains.

The biggest hurdle with this theoretical hybrid design is how to get more power for far less weight. “The overall system efficiency will have to be better and will have to weigh significantly less,” Yagielski says. “We need to develop machines at aircraft propulsion power levels and reduce their specific weight by a factor of eight.” That means bringing various engineering disciplines to bear, he adds: “Our team is working five different technology areas simultaneously to make this happen.”

The beauty of the new system is that it will free plane designers from placing large engines under each wing and enable them to come up with new designs that might be more optimal for efficient flight. Drones already use six or more propellers, all powered by wires from a central source. Says Joshi: “The concept is to use 10 or 15 of these 2-megawatt machines to drive an equal number of smaller fans distributed along the wing to produce the required thrust.”

The REEACH and ASCEND grants, covering roughly 18 months of research by 17 participants, are just the first leg of a long journey. “It’s about proving the feasibility of a number of these technologies and convincing ARPA-E to invest in building a complete prototype and testing it,” says Yagielski. “This is for aircraft in the 2050s.”

Flatline Fab Versatility

By Stephen Hannemann

When you hear the words fabrication shop, automatically weldments of steel, large trusses, frameworks both architectural and industrial come to mind. Turning that assumption on its head, Flatline Fabrication recently has designed and is producing a new line of wood workbenches that highlight their CNC routing and wood craft / wood fabrication prowess.

These light, rigid and portable benches are ideal for transport in vans or pickups to jobsites for light carpentry, finish carpentry, and cabinet installs.

Durable for manufacturing as fab and assembly benches in commercial settings they were designed with longevity in mind. These benches will withstand the rigors in a variety of manufacturing environments as well as the home shop.

These strong but lightweight benches come as flat packed kits with instructions. Initial assembly takes less than 30 minutes. The rigid 48”x 48” reinforced modular work surface is a box unit, easily removable for transport or storage. When assembled, the bench is a comfortable and ergonomic 34” high. Being modular, two or more benches can be joined together to create larger surfaces such as 4’x 8’ or 8’x 8’ for large projects in a commercial setting.

The Manufacturer’s Secret Weapon

By Stephen Hannemann

Just Imagine

Unemployment numbers are falling, and in many sectors manufacturing is rebounding again in spite of the pandemic, civil unrest, and political turmoil.

I look up and say thank you, Lord.

Coupled with my belief system, I have a deep love and respect for the resilience of our human spirit and our tenacious ability to overcome obstacles of overwhelming dimension. I think of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock in November of 1620. Depending upon the history account you read, only 51 or 53 of the 102 original passengers survived the first winter. Those resilient few survivors were the nucleus of our country, 400 years ago this November. Ah, the human spirit!

with the question, “So, when you woke up this morning, did you roll over and grumble about the day before you? Or did you jump out of bed with excitement and say, ‘I get to go to work today and….’”Are you grateful?

Grateful for your bed, your home, your wife, your children, your JOB? Please don’t misunderstand. I do not have a Pollyanna attitude about life. Life can deal us some cruel blows. Life is a hard walk at times. However, hard times can be precious opportunities to grow, to learn, and become stronger. It is during these times that people around us witness how gratitude and positive attitudes inspire, motivate, and elevate the spirits of the people we interact with on our daily journeys.

Manufacturing has been my world since high school. But this vocation does not come without a plethora of challenges and heartaches – personnel issues, supplier issues, quality issues, customer issues, and the list at times seems endless. But first thing, when we start our day, think about something that makes us happy, something that brings us joy. Joy and gratefulness will set our countenance. That attitude will spread to all who we come in contact with during our day. At the end of the day when we stop and review our accomplishments, we can take pride in what we provided, to our employees, the community, and maybe the world. Like the Pilgrims of 400 years ago. Just imagine.

500mm Doosan w/ 275 tool capacity, runs high production lights out.

Ten months ago, I began a series of articles on continuous personal improvement in an effort to encourage owners, managers, and leads, along with their employees to inspire and mentor by means of attitude.

I have stated many times – when we are open and receptive, mentoring can take place from the bottom up as well as the top down. No matter where we are in the company hierarchy, we are most receptive when we are in a good mood and happy. I have opened several of my presentations A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •
