Editor’s Corner If we make something, not just design it, are we strong vs. another country making it? So why is precision manufacturing, especially manufacturing here in the U.S., so important? Manufacturing helped build the United States. And, the need for domestic manufacturing, as opposed to importing, is becoming more apparent. Additionally, there is a higher sense of pride in “Made in the U.S.A.” products! Manufacturing today remains a crucial industry for America! Not only does it increase employment, but it also boosts our country’s economy. The manufacturing industry provides a wealth of opportunities for all individuals, both young and old, to develop their skills and become experts in their field, whether that is in design, engineering, fabrication, or machining. CNC machining is leading the world in automated manufacturing; the machines can work continually and do not require a shut down. Only in the case of maintenance do these CNC machines need to be retooled, checked or calibrated, other wise they can maintain productivity for a long time without a break in precision production. Production is based on more accurate, consistent processing, to tenths of thousandths, and CNC machines are, of course, programmable. These machines focus on every detail of production with great accuracy where there is little or no margin for error.These machines are so accurate that companies can make the same exact tool paths of a set of parts with literally no down side. And, with CNC machines you can produce tools and parts that are impossible to produce by manual methods consistently. CNC machines have helped minimize the gap in the USA where our labor costs are higher than in many other countries. In short, having a strong domestic manufacturing base is vital to the United States and to maintaining its world leadership in innovation, productivity, and domestic product. That is because advanced manufacturing provides an important institutional foundation for learning and developing process skills and capabilities that are increasingly intertwined with many of the industries most important to the country’s economic future. A study on future global competitiveness, by Deloitte Global and the U.S. Council on Competitiveness, predicts that the U.S. will dislodge China as the most competitive manufacturing nation of the world in 2020. To continue positive momentum, the U.S. will be heavily reliant on the manufacturing industry to grow its exports and continue to boost its position as an economic leader. We are in an era of managing a growing domestic economy. Manufacturing companies must bring back foreign dollars into the U.S. economy in ways that reach the American consumer. This can come in many forms, including further increasing capital in infrastructure investment, continued education for their workforce, and increasing wages through innovation, through precision manufacturing within our domestic mind set, and efforts to making products that are state of the art and better, faster, and higher precision, than our counter parts. Manufacturing is strong in the U.S. It must be stronger to insure our position as the land of the free, the home of the brave, and a continued economic leader.

Announcements & Releases Mazak Adds Automation to Multi-Tasking with the QUICK TURN 250MSY + GR100 To help manufacturers achieve the highest level of overall throughput, Mazak Corporation has designed its Kentucky-built QUICK TURN 200/250 Series of CNC turning centers as a flexible machine base suitable for numerous highly productive configurations. One such example, the QUICK TURN 250MSY Multi-Tasking Turning Center with GR100 Gantry Robot, offers full DONE IN ONE® partprocessing capabilities and fully automated part loading/unloading with the GR100 Gantry Robot for exceptional production efficiency. Mazak pre-engineered the GR100 to easily integrate into any of the QUICK TURN 200/250 Series machine models, including the 2-axis, milling,Y-axis and/or second spindle versions. To interface with these QUICK TURN machines, the GR100 requires no special robot/ machine interface and programs easily via the MAZATROL SmoothG CNC featured on the machines. For application flexibility, two GR100 workpiece-table configurations are available, as is end-of-arm tooling with three-jaw grippers. All GR100 robots come equipped with a simple-to-configure, D3, twosided, three-jaw gripping hand with a part range up to 7” in diameter, 6” in length and total weight of 44 lbs.

The QUICK TURN 250MSY headstock features a 10” main chuck mounted on a 35 hp, 4,000 rpm integrated spindle motor that generates 343 ft-lbs of torque for heavy-duty metal removal. To accurately position parts for square facing/slotting cuts and precisely drilled holes, the machine’s main turning spindle also serves as a fullfunctioning C-axis that is programmable in 0.0001-degree increments. A second spindle with 15 hp, 6,000 rpm and a 6” chuck allows the QUICK TURN 250MSY to automatically transfer parts and perform secondary operations with speed and accuracy.

Ingersoll Rand® QX Series™ Ergonomic Tightening System (ETS) Ingersoll Rand® has released the QX Series™ Ergonomic Tightening System (ETS). The ETS delivers short pulses of energy into the fastener during tightening, so the operator safely retains control of the tool. The ergonomically enhanced motor control algorithm minimizes the average force experienced by the operator, protecting workers from injury. The Ergonomic Tightening System is available on the QX Series cordless fastening tools in pistol and right angle configurations that range from 1.6 to 80 Newton meters of torque.

Announcements Continued Manufacturers in motor vehicle, agricultural, heavy equipment, and general industries use Ingersoll Rand QX Series tools for the precise torque control and traceable results. Workers no longer have to manipulate the fastening tool and a stationary reaction device. ETS tools increase mobility and access for tasks requiring one-handed tool operation or when optimum operator agility is paramount. Reducing the torque reaction during fastening doesn’t have to be complicated. The QX Series ETS offers four tightening modes to simplify the process. In addition to standard direct drive mode, each tool configuration can be independently programmed to utilize one of the three available single-parameter ETS modes, simplifying setup:

CONSISTENT, ACCURATE & REPEATABLE PARTS

TANKS

•Mode 1 – Ergonomic mode delivers the least amount of energy per pulse. This mode is ideal for applications on hard joints or ones that require difficult arm, wrist or tool angles.

FOOD & BEVERAGE

COILS

HANDLES

BIKE RACKS

•Mode 2 – The Performance mode distributes moderate energy per pulse. This mode is best for numerous all-purpose fastening applications. •Mode 3 – Lastly, the Productivity mode delivers the most amount of energy per pulse.This mode is ideal for applications on soft joints or those that require high production rates.For more information about the QX Series™ by Ingersoll Rand visit www.IRTools.com/ETS.

Oregon Reaches 10,000 People In Apprenticeships With New Programs, Diversity

TVT DIE CASTING Precision aluminum and zinc die casting, machining and finishing. Quality, Reliability and Service

The number of people in Oregon’s state-registered apprenticeship programs has more than doubled over the past six years, coming to more than 10,000 people enrolled this June. In 2013, the state had just over 4,600 total apprentices, according to a news release from the Bureau of Labor and Industries.The increase in the amount of people participating in these hands-on programs is largely attributed to a boom in demand for construction workers and the expansion of apprenticeships into industries like information technology and healthcare. “Apprenticeships have traditionally been in the building and construction trades but we’re trying to diversify and one of the things that we started is just looking at other industries ... in IT and healthcare, (and) reaching out to other manufacturers,” Hubbard said.

We are a full service job shop, providing as much or as little project involvement as required – from tool and die design to finishing and assembly.

“There are a lot of people who are getting older in the construction industry and we need to replace that workforce and prepare for all these new jobs,” he said. “So we’re trying to look in different places and diversify our apprentice workforce — our construction workforce — so we’re trying to increase our percentage of minority and women apprentices as well.” “As a workforce board we’re putting out all different types of opportunities, making sure youth as they’re leaving high school know what their opportunities are, and adults as well who may be returning to school,” said Executive Director Kristina Payne. Apprenticeships are for adults of all ages, because the majority of apprenticeships require you to be at least 18 years old, Hubbard said, but there is no maximum age cutoff.

GMA GARNET GROUP

Lane Workforce worked recently to jump start a pilot program for apprenticeships in information technology.

“For the tech industry, in a number of job positions they were having a difficult time finding qualified people,” Payne said. Being one of the few technology apprenticeship programs in Oregon, the needs and qualities that best suit it are still being worked out. “When we look at this apprenticeship for technology, we’re not sure in its purest form if that’s what the industry needed,” Payne said. “We’re still evaluating that.” PANTONE Process Black PC R:35 G:31 B:32 C:70 M:67 Y:64 K:74

This new technology program, along with expanded apprenticeship programs in healthcare and manufacturing, are created to fill a need in different sectors of the workforce. These new programs have added 450 new apprentices over the last two years, according to the release. “It really is hands-on learning,” Payne said. “It has classroom aspects to it ... but you’re applying what you’re learning. And I think for a lot of people that practical hands-on exploration makes a huge difference in how they’re grasping concepts. By: Jordyn Brown

Who Is Responsible For The Future Of Space Exploration? Apollo inspired generations, including people who are now the explorers working to take us back to the Moon, on to Mars and beyond. They are designing vehicles, planning for challenges and charting major milestones. Their work is taking space exploration to new heights. But who will actually put new footprints on the Moon and take the first step on Mars? Who will take us beyond that goal? Who is responsible for the future of space exploration? Students. Today’s students are that future—and it is our job to inspire them and help them see themselves as those leaders. A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST

• 14 • AUG - SEPT ‘19

At the Challenger Center, we inspire more than 250,000 students from around the globe every year. They are transported to space when they come to our centers.They become science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professionals leading futuristic missions. During one simulation called Expedition Mars, we set the stage by telling the students a handful of facilities are established on Mars and that a shuttle ferries them between a base on the moon Phobos and the Martian surface. To these students, this is not hard to imagine. It is not a dreamworld or something from a storybook. Setting foot on Mars, going back to the Moon and exploring beyond is not just an idea; it is their reality. Over the last 30 years, more than 5 million students have participated in the Challenger Center’s virtual space missions. Credit: Challenger Center Today’s students have a “no limits, anything is possible” mindset—the type needed for space exploration.They have an indomitable spirit and are less risk-averse than any previous generation. While adults talk about technology as a thing, students simply experience it as part of their lives.They are digital natives who expect technology to expand and evolve. Students are growing up in a world with experiences that would have been impossible a decade ago—and unimaginable before that.This mindset and adaptability are traits that could transform the space industry in the next 20, 30 or 40 years. It is our role to help equip students with the necessary skills and provide inspirational experiences that lead them down the path to pursue STEM careers. Complex issues such as space exploration require communication and collaboration skills. Every industry, especially the space industry, needs talented individuals who can work together on a unified goal. But how do we show today’s students the importance of these 21st-century skills? How do we prepare them to be collaborative problem solvers? At the Challenger Center, we provide visiting students with an experience that demands those qualities, and without hesitation the students work together to

complete tasks and reach their goals. If you put them in a situation where these skills are required, they understand why it is important and witness positive effects as a result. The Challenger Center has sent more than 5 million students on virtual space missions over the last 30 years. We give students around the world the chance to play a part in reaching a collective goal, to feel the anxiety of the risks, understand the impact of their decisions and enjoy the satisfaction of success. I know this happens because I’ve seen it happen. I’ve watched students arrive uninterested and disengaged, silent and intimidated. When they realize their classmates are counting on them, I see a shift. They work hard to complete their tasks and help their teammates. When the mission is complete, they high-five their teachers before walking out the door with confidence and a can-do attitude. I know these moments happen because I hear from former students who are now young professionals working on incredible programs such as Lockheed Martin’s Orion and Blue Origin’s Blue Moon. Space exploration, by virtue of its visionary perspectives and necessarily lengthy project timelines, is one of the few ventures that so heavily relies on the next generation. Knowing this also means understanding how critical it is to have a talented and motivated future workforce. From volunteering and mentoring to supporting STEM programs, I challenge everyone in the space community to consider how, in your own way, you can inspire the next generation. Today’s students have the mindset to transform the future of space exploration into something we cannot even imagine. Let’s be role models and work together to inspire them to take on that challenge, just as Apollo inspired us.

US Manufacturing Output Hits All-Time High The latest Bureau of Economic Analysis data find that U.S. manufacturers produced $2.3852 trillion worth of goods in the first quarter of 2019, up from $2.3845 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2018. This production number represents an all-time high. Manufacturing accounted for 11.3 percent of real GDP in the first quarter of 2019—and the industry continues to have the largest economic multiplier of any major sector. The industry’s continued success has created many new jobs as well. Manufacturing job openings were at an all-time high in May with 509,000 open jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. This job creation is actually exacerbating an existing challenge in the industry: a lack of enough skilled workers. Manufacturers could have 2.4 million unfilled jobs by 2028, according to industry experts. The NAM and The Manufacturing Institute recently launched a $10 million Creators Wanted campaign, which plans to fill 600,000 manufacturing jobs by 2025.

Semiconductor Supplier Plans $100M Facility In Hillsboro Semiconductor supplier JSR Micro Inc. is building a $100 million materials manufacturing facility not far from its existing Beaverton research and development site. The new operation will be in Hillsboro, where the company recently purchased property, and should be running next year, the company said in a statement. The 25.6-acre property, at 5950 N.E. Starr Blvd., sits in North Hillsboro within the Hillsboro Technology Park. JSR paid $7.1 million for the land in a deal that closed in May, according to Patrick Preston, public affairs manager for the city of Hillsboro. The company, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., is part of Japan-based JSR Corp. It makes chemicals and materials used in the semiconductor industry, as well as plastics and life sciences industries. Here in Oregon, the company has an R&D team working on lithography and patterning for the semiconductor industry, according to job postings on the company’s website. The company said the new facility will have quality assurance and control, engineering and advanced process control capabilities. It did not indicate how many employees would be needed to staff it. News of the new facility was first reported by the Oregonian.

between the different manufacturing steps in the lithography and etching processes.These chemicals are needed to reduce defects in manufacturing. This is a new business line for the company, he told the publication.“We’re always focused on our quality, our customers and the performance of our materials,” said Slezak in a written statement. “State of the art integration schemes have led to significant challenges for our customer in the area of defectivity reduction, which is why JSR is committed to investing in the area of advanced cleans.” Construction of the new facility also provides options for any “future strategic expansion.” Intel has been working closely with suppliers as it rolls out a long-delayed next generation of 10-nanometer chips. The company has said 10nm delays have been tied to manufacturing challenges and it has been most recently working through lowering the defect rate of chips before rolling them out in high volume to customers.The 10nm chips are now making their way into the market. Intel is one of Oregon’s largest private employers with more than 20,000 employees across four campuses inWashington County. The company has noted its large employee base extends beyond its own workers. A 2012 economic impact study showed that for every Intel employee 3.1 jobs are created statewide.

Placement of the facility in Hillsboro may indicate a close relationship with chipmaker Intel, which has its most advanced manufacturing facility at the Ronler Acres campus — also in Hillsboro.That Intel facility is currently being expanded.

JSR Micro isn’t the only Hillsboro semiconductor supplier that is positioning for growth. Dutch manufacturer ASML has seen its Oregon workforce expand to 600 people in the last three years and it expects to double in size in the next five years.

In a July interview with industry publication Chemical and Engineering News, JSR Micro president Mark Slezak said the new facility will add capabilities known as “advanced cleans,” which are advanced chemicals used to clean silicon wafers

Boeing Awarded Up To $55.5M For Redesign Work On KC-46 Tanker Boeing has been awarded up to $55.5 million from the Air Force for redesign work needed on the refueling boom for the KC-46A Pegasus tanker. According to a notice of the award posted last month, the funds will be for “system level hardware and software critical design review of the boom telescope actuator redesign.” Problems with the boom were among the issues that the Air Force and Boeing (NYSE: BA) knew needed to be resolved at the time the tankers first began being delivered early this year. According to a report from the Government Accountability Office in June, the Air Force expects to spend more than $300 million over the next three or four years on the redesign requirement and to retrofit the aircraft delivered by that point.

But Boeing is footing the bill for other work, including related to fixes needed for the RemoteVision System used to guide the boom on the new tanker.The Air Force is withholding as much as 20 percent from the final payment on each tanker until those improvements are made. Boeing has incurred more than $3.6 billion in cost overruns amid delays and technical and production issues on the program.The first 18 KC-46 jets were supposed to have been certified and delivered to the Air Force by August 2017. The first didn’t arrive at McConnell Air Force Base inWichita until January of this year. Deliveries have been stopped twice since then due to debris left behind on the aircraft from the manufacturing process at Boeing. McConnell is the main operating base for the tanker and will eventually be home to 36 of the aircraft. Boeing intends to build 179 of the KC-46 tankers for the Air Force.

Washington State Is The Most Attractive Place For Aerospace Companies Washington state remains the most attractive place in the U.S. for an aerospace business, a new report by PriceWaterhouse Coopers says.

infrastructure, and economy.

The 2019 rankings by the global management consulting firm’s aerospace practice says Washington won favorable scores in ratings categories that included industry,

With a total aerospace workforce of more than 136,000 people, the state produced 1,400 aircraft and unmanned aerial systems in 2018, PwC said. Many of those were Boeing jets, including the 737, 787 Dreamliner, the bigger 777-300 Extended Range widebody and 767 and 747 Freighter jets. Georgia, the home to Delta Air Lines, ranked second, followed by California, Michigan, and Illinois, and Indiana in the PwC report. Washington state’s aerospace ecosystem includes not only major players like Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), but also its supply chain of companies, as well as space rocket maker Blue Origin and emerging players small satellite space players, including Spaceflight Industries. The report said Boeing set an industry record in 2018 for delivering

806 commercial airplanes and racking up $101 billion in revenue, while reportedly hiring 8,500 workers. In order to promote innovation, the state offers favorable tax policies, such as tax credits for pre-production development expenditures, and support for several public-private partnerships. The latest PwC report is its sixth annual ranking aerospace manufacturing attractiveness rankings by countries (or regions) and states in the US. The firm says its rankings are designed to help aerospace companies plan for future growth, enhance their manufacturing supply chains, or examine costs where their operations are now located. A second report also released this week offered a different perspective of manufacturing in Washington state. Ball State University’s Center for Business and Economic Research in Muncie, Indiana, awarded Washington state a “C-” for manufacturing and “C” for logistics. Washington, however, retained its “A” grade in a category called human capital and diversification.The state was given a “B” in the productivity and innovation categories. Ball State — which awarded its home state of Indiana an overall “A” grade — also gave Washington state a “C” in the tax climate category and an “F” for costs of workers’ benefits.

Siemens Wins $100M Trimet Contract For Light Rail Cars

Transit systems in San Diego and Portland, Oregon, are completing transitions to low-floor light rail systems by buying over $200 million of cars from Siemens Mobility’s Sacramento train factory. The additional sales will continue workflow for years at the factory on French Road in South Sacramento, where more than 1,500 people build locomotives and light and heavy rail cars. These orders are in addition to nearly $1.6 billion in orders announced in December for heavy rail locomotives and cars from Amtrak and the Canadian rail service. San Diego’s Metropolitan Transit System awarded Siemens Mobility a contract for 25 of its S700 low-floor light rail cars. Portland’s TriMet transit system has ordered 26 of the same S700 vehicle, configured to TriMet standards. Siemens spokeswoman Elizabeth Cho said the Portland contract is “over $100 million” and the San Diego contract is just “under $100 million.” The Portland contract has an option for up to 60 more vehicles. In both cases, the transit systems are transitioning away from highfloor to low-floor cars. The low-floor cars are more easily accessible to passengers in wheelchairs, without the need for ramps at stations. The S700 cars also feature wide aisles, making them easier to traverse with wheelchairs and bicycles, Cho said. Siemens Mobility provides rail vehicles, locomotives, components and systems to more than 25 agencies in cities including Washington D.C.; New York; Boston; Chicago; Phoenix; Seattle; Miami; Philadelphia; Denver; Baltimore; Salt Lake City; Minneapolis; Houston; Portland; Orlando, Florida; Sacramento; San Diego; St. Louis; Atlanta; and Charlotte, North Carolina.

OSW Equipment Utilizing State of The Art Equipment and Software to Build the Best Equipment

“Bringing processes in house is key to our growth here at OSW,” “We design our products with the latest in engineering software to our customers’ exact specifications. What is important to one company is not the case with another company.” “At OSW we offer complete customer satisfaction through listening and talking with our customers and asking them, what would make the operation of this vehicle better, safer, and more productive?” The new OSW Equipment manufacturing facility allows the OSW team to focus on higher end products. The truck and trailer products OSW creates and manufacturers stay in the field longer and have a longer running history as durability is manufactured into the product instead of after market product welded on the existing truck as a patch or a quick add on.

OSW Equipment started as a small manufacturing company in 2000, and today it is one of the largest dump body and trailer manufacturers along the West Coast.The company hails from Snohomish, Washington and continues to grow its business with cutting edge technologies, state of the art fabrication machines, and by controlling its own destiny, through controlling it’s processes, in house. These trucks, dumps and trailers are massive, yet they have to utilize very precise manufacturing equipment, the size of dinosaurs. To give a perspective, a standard press brake that bends metal is normally 6 feet in length. To bend and fabricate very large truck parts OSW had to enlist the help of the experts in metal bending, Fahey Machinery. After consulting with Fahey Machinery, OSW agreed on the very large Accurpress 5150024, a 1500 ton press brake that bends 24 foot pieces of metal. Bending very large pieces of heavy metal requires work holding machinery and tooling to lift, hold and maneuver the metal while in the jaws of the press brake. It takes two people to hold and fabricate the metal while it is suspended by overhead cranes. This cutting, bending, and welding during the fabrication process used to be performed by fabrication suppliers outside of the OSW business model. The progression for OSW to cut, form and fabricate their material to their own specifications has streamlined their business so much that they are able to stop what they are doing and turn on a dime to fabricate an order that may come in on a rush basis. The response time and order minimums have been reestablished in their own hands.What used to take months to receive in from their suppliers and what used to take a minimum order of 5 to 10 units can now be one or ten and it takes weeks instead of months. This affords better response time for OSW customers, and much higher quality, as the OSW team manages every detail of the fabrication operation. With 2 sixty-foot paint booths, OSW can not only design, cut, weld, grind, assemble, and test, they can paint a body in 1 to 5 hours complete. OSW used to outsource some fabrication and painting and now as OSW tells it, “ We no longer farm out anything, no cutting, fabrication and zero paint, we are in complete control of the entire process. This helps us maintain very high quality, and keeps us in charge of our destiny, and continued success.” A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

24 • AUG - SEPT ‘19

The larger fleets look to OSW to support products for the entire fleet with state of the art truck modifications and products that meet their very demanding requirements and standards. OSW meets with their customers on a regular basis to discuss ways to haul larger payloads, improving the product, and listening to the drivers that utilize the vehicles 8 to 10 hours every day to help improve their experience with the product.

OSW Buys Western Truck Body The acquisition of Western Truck Body of Canada in 2019 expands the geographic footprint of OSW into Western Canada and allows OSW to continue to expand its product line with theWTB aluminum service bodies. Western Truck Body is located in Edmonton,

AB and manufactures an all aluminum service body, lube bodies, and a slip in mechanic body for a pick-up. An all aluminum body is extremely durable, corrosion resistant, and helps improve fuel economy.The high qualityWTB truck bodies makes the Western Truck Body acquisition again another strategic step in building OSW’s strength, product brand width, and customers options.

OSW Equipment Buys Northend Truck Equipment The acquisition of Northend Truck Equipment by OSW Equipment & Repair LLC is another strategic step in building the company’s strength, product brand width, and customer options.The acquisition allowed OSW Equipment & Repair, into another niche in the work truck body industry. The Northend Truck acquisition expands OSW’s manufacturing and up fitting capabilities while also expanding its presence in new end user markets. Northend Truck Equipment, based in Marysville, WA, is a custom manufacturer and equipment up fitter of dump trucks, service trucks, snow plows and cranes for end users in the Pacific Northwest. Over its thirty-five year history NTE grew to become the one of the largest companies in the Northwest in its specialized area.

OSW Becomes a Hardox® Cerified Supplier A big part of OSW’s secret recipe is the HARDOX® 450 material.The material is as hard as its name and OSW realized to make the best dump products theirs had to be the best made, the toughest, and built to exacting specifications. The HARDOX® 450 is an abrasion resistant steel with a nominal hardness of 450 HBW. This is about a 47 Rockwell with an ultimate tensile strength of over 230 ksi, that’s some very tough material.This armor like material is a pliable or formable type of material and allows the OSW manufacturing, bending, and fabrication facility to make some of the toughest most resilient dump trucks and commercial application trucks in the world. OSW is one of few in the Western US to be a certified HARDOX® supplier and certified fabrication company.

OSW Engineering a Better Way For Their Customers OSW has implemented many new special processes and has continued to build a great organization, building mid level management, fabrication, welding, specialized painting, and assembly as a 21-century manufacturing partner. Customers look to OSW to give them what no other company can, exactly what they want, the way they want it, down to the color they want it.This exact engineering has to do with asking what the customer wants, then formulating it. OSW utilizes SOLIDWORKS®, software in their engineering for customer satisfaction. SOLIDWORKS®, has a broad platform so that drawing the equipment, testing the equipment, and building a sound model of the equipment makes it a reality and the end result another customer is completely satisfied with a quality truck body or trailer.

Where Do We See OSW in 5 years? OSW will be the largest, most complete product line truck body and trailer manufacturer in the western region of North America for the construction, energy, municipal, and mining industries. The engineering we mentioned is a part of how OSW intends to grow the business.The future is a prophecy with the influx of automation, faster and higher power software, stronger yet more formable materials, robotic welding. These processes make the most of the allotted time, they are precision or exact in tolerance and dimensions, and the product has little or no error, thus the finished product is superior and an OSW niche is created. OSW maintains close relationships with their suppliers as well as their customers. OSW said, “Our partners have to be the best if we intend to continue to be the best in our field and one of our key suppliers is Fahey Machinery. Fahey has done a great job over the years keeping us informed as to what the best fabrication equipment is and showing us how it can work to the best of our large type of manufacturing and our advantage. Fahey is similar to us, they ask how can we do better, we tell them, and they deliver a solution. Sometimes the solution is one that not many have and has to be tweaked to our exact specifications. Fahey has stood up and been there to keep us up and running with equipment that helps us maintain our standards of manufacturing.The bending and cutting equipment we have now is state of the art and not too many companies have them or know how to use them to their full capability. Fahey makes sure we have training and accessories that help us stay at the cutting edge of our industry.”

Feeling The Burn: Inside The Boot Camp For Elite Gas Turbines The state of South Carolina may have practically invented the punishing workout. It is home to The Citadel, the famously tough military academy — and anyone who has seen Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket” will never forget drill instructor Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann inflicting a special kind of purgatory on U.S. Marine Corps recruits at Parris Island.The city of Greenville, which is just a couple hundred miles north of the military installation, is also home to an equally grueling boot camp. But there is a major difference: Greenville’s trainees are not fresh cadets, but a crop of elite power plants. This summer, the 9HA.02, the world’s largest and most efficient heavyduty gas turbine will be put through its paces in the toughest power plant proving course on earth: Greenville’s huge off-grid gas turbine validation facility located behind GE Power’s massive turbine factory here.And the drill sergeant is the calm, genial Bert Stuck, who has worked for GE Aviation and Power departments for 37 years.The veteran engineer laughs at the notion that his turbine test stand is a giant torture chamber. “Not quite: Our motto is ‘test and learn’,” he says. Even so, Stuck and his team of engineers will push the 9HA.02 to its limits before it is deployed in the field, generating power for homes and businesses all over the world. They have got a full program of exercises in store for the turbine, which can generate 571 megawatts, enough to power a city with 650,000 households. “We will explore the turbine’s entire operational envelope — inside and out,” says the veteran engineer. That is jargon for the range of parameters in which the turbine can operate safely and effectively. It’s important to punish the machine in this way because it proves to customers that the turbines — which will one day be the grid’s workhorses — can withstand ultra-stressful conditions that are well beyond what they would encounter in ordinary service. Engineers will test the turbine’s mettle in all areas. Stuck reels off a list: “Performance, efficiency, operational flexibility, mechanical and aeromechanical durability, gas and liquid fuel capability, its response to grid fluctuations, and so on.” For example, engineers will ensure the 9HA.02 delivers top-tier performance and efficiency whatever the location. “We will have units going anywhere from Malaysia to northern Europe,” says Stuck. Engineers have a trick up their sleeves for replicating sweltering hot, and freezing cold days, and it is not turning the thermostat up to maximum, or down to zero. “We play with certain factors such as airflows or fuel splits to make the unit ‘think’ it is operating in different conditions,” says Stuck. This may sound like random tinkering, but in reality, the testing stand is as far away from a mad professor’s laboratory as you can get. Every step taken during the test has been simulated by a team of turbine and plant controls experts before it is run in the test stand. “We want to understand how the

test unit and facility will perform together,” says Stuck. “The simulations give us an excellent idea of what is going to happen.” Although there are rarely big surprises, the testing procedure is still a huge learning experience.There are around 5,000 instruments across the turbine that continually gather data about its operations, performance and efficiency.These sensors ferry about 1 gigabyte of data per second to Greenville’s nerve center, a bank of computers manned by around 75 design engineers that resemble NASA’s mission control. “That’s like streaming a full hour of Netflix in one second,” says Stuck. Safety is paramount, so the engineers stay alert for any data readings which look unusual. “That’s priority No. 1 — although we have a good chance of catching anything before it breaks,” says Stuck. He explains that a test director can return the turbine to a safe operating point before any component failure. “Then they’ll start reviewing the data,” says Stuck. Engineers will dive into data streams on component temperatures, airflow and cooling rates, air pressure, blade vibrations, fuel economy, efficiency and power output. “The design teams can get an idea of how the unit is functioning in real-time, as well as analyzing data streams post-event,” says Stuck. Engineers are hunting for any marginal gain in performance or efficiency that might be up for grabs. It might lead to last-minute fine-tuning, even if it is just a tiny tweak to the shroud or aerofoil of a turbine blade for greater durability, or a small adjustment to the geometry of an extraction port to optimize cooling flows. “We make these kinds of hardware modifications in the factory to actual production units for the benefit of the customer,” says Stuck. Turbines in Greenville train as hard as U.S. marine recruits at Parris Island, whose boot camps usually last 13 weeks. The 9HA.02 will undergo about 200 hours of test time over nearly three months, and those grueling sessions will last between 12 hours and two days. In the test facility, some 5,000 sensors gather data from across the machine before transmitting

it to a mission-control-like nerve center, where dozens of engineers hunt for any marginal gains in performance or efficiency that can be wrought. Image credit: Brian Erkens of Reel Video and Stills. It is crucial to test the 9HA.02 at varying load conditions and demonstrate the capability to handle a significant number of starts. The world’s gas turbines are increasingly required to operate across a wide range of loads and operating modes such as cyclic (daily starts and stops) and peaking — the hours of high demand — because of the growth of renewables such as wind and solar. For example, utilities might switch off the 9HA.02 during periods of healthy renewable energy generation and low demand and switch it back on when demand picks up and solar or wind generation have slumped. “From no load conditions, it can reach full power in about 10 minutes,” says Stuck. This kind of special testing simply cannot be done at the customer site. Greenville is like a special indoor soft play area that allows the engineers to push the turbine to its limits risk-free because the site is not connected to the grid. “That means we can replicate oddball conditions without the danger of tripping any grid,” explains Stuck. by Chris Noon A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

Intel and Apple have signed an agreement for Apple to acquire the majority of Intel’s smartphone modem business. Approximately 2,200 Intel employees will join Apple, along with intellectual property, equipment and leases. The transaction, valued at $1 billion, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, including works council and other relevant consultations in certain jurisdictions. Combining the acquired patents for current and future wireless technology with Apple’s existing portfolio, Apple will hold over 17,000 wireless technology patents, ranging from protocols for cellular standards to modem architecture and modem operation. Intel will retain the option to develop modems for non-smartphone applications, such as PCs, internet of things devices and autonomous vehicles. “This agreement enables us to focus on developing technology for the 5G network while retaining critical intellectual property and modem technology that our team has created,” said Intel CEO Bob Swan. “We have long respected Apple and we’re confident they provide the right environment for this talented team and these important assets moving forward.We’re looking forward to putting our full effort into 5G where it most closely aligns with the needs of our global customer base, including network operators, telecommunications equipment manufacturers and cloud service providers.”

Trump, Pritzker Push To Improve Apprenticeships

By Cole Lauterbach

They may agree on next to nothing, but Gov. J.B. Pritzker and President Donald Trump are both working to improve the availability of apprenticeship programs to help fill the need for skilled labor. The freshman president, no stranger to apprenticeships, proposed a rule change late last month that would streamline the process for schools and businesses to coordinate on offering the opportunities and increase funding to coordinate the programs. “The apprenticeship model of earning while learning has worked well in many American industries, and today we open opportunities for apprenticeships to flourish in new sectors of our economy,” U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta said in a statement. “With 7.4 million open jobs and job creators searching for skilled job seekers, apprenticeship expansion will continue to close the skills gap and strengthen the greatest workforce in the world – the American workforce.” The move is a shift away from some government agencies that had an interest in keeping a robust funnel of young adults entering four-year colleges regardless of whether it was the best fit, said Sam Adolphsen, policy director at the Foundation for Government Accountability. “There were some government entities in the past that, I think, didn’t want

to see these opportunities expanded,” he said. In Illinois, Pritzker signed a bill into law Friday that offers a tax credit to businesses that bring in qualified apprentices. “An important part of my job is to transform our state into one of the most forward-thinking, economically prosperous, and innovative in the nation,” the governor said. “We have the most talented and dedicated workforce in the nation – but we need to produce tens of thousands of new skilled workers each year for the next ten years to replace the highly skilled manufacturing workforce that’s retiring – and to meet the growing demand for quality, talented employees.” The idea was an initiative of the Illinois Manufacturers Association to bolster the number of new skilled workers to replace the growing number of retiring baby boomers. “With 300,000 men and women set to retire from shop floors in the next decade, this new apprenticeship credit will allow manufacturers to jumpstart their efforts to build a pipeline of workers to fill the next generation of manufacturing jobs,” said Illinois Manufacturers Association President and CEO Mark Denzler. “Apprenticeships leave their participants with little to no debt and give them marketable job skills in their industry,” said Sen. Ann Gillespie, the Arlington Heights Democrat who sponsored the bill. A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

Hulking robots common to assembly line manufacturing tend to be loners. They often cut, bend and weld metal inside cages and behind barriers meant to safely separate them from human workers. “For a long time, the best factory robot has been one that you set up, and you don’t touch for two years. It does the same thing over and over, unchanged, a million times,” says Bilge Mutlu, a University of Wisconsin–Madison professor of computer science, industrial engineering and psychology. “But because those robots are built to be very powerful and very accurate, they are also very dangerous

for people.You can’t get in its way.” With new support from NASA, Mutlu and partners at UW–Madison and Boeing are designing lowerpower robots that can handle a wider range of less-rigidly defined tasks by working more collaboratively with a human operator. The UW researchers have focused on “shared control,” in which a human wired with sensors and controls guides a robot’s arms through the course of a task like sorting objects or mixing ingredients according to a recipe. Even new users are able to operate these robots effectively, because the robots step in to help by applying things they’ve been taught about the way humans deftly coordinate the movement of two arms and hands to corral and lift and pass objects. Mutlu, graduate student Daniel Rakita and computer sciences Professor Michael Gleicher have also published methods for deploying robot-controlled cameras to give the human operator—”whether they’re standing a few feet away or they’re in Houston and the robot is on a space station,” Mutlu says—the best view of the workspace, tools, materials and the robot’s hands. With that core technology and a $3 million grant from NASA Aeronautics, the UW–Madison group—which includes Gleicher, mechanical engineering Professor Michael Zinn and industrial and systems engineering Professor Robert Radwin—will adapt robots to some of the specific types of manufacturing work that piece together a Boeing airliner. “We identified a number of processes in aircraft manufacturing where this shared control could help,” Mutlu says. “Take riveting. There are thousands of rivets that have to be banged in there to join the metal of an airplane together. That’s hard, repetitive work.”

Making composite materials, sanding metal, painting and fitting parts together in confined spaces are other steps in the plane construction process that get safer by moving the relatively fragile human body slightly farther away from the action. Shared control of a robot could make that happen without also removing the human aircraft builder’s skills. “We’re keeping the operator’s expertise, their knowledge of the nuances of the process, in the equation,” Mutlu says. “They can direct the action without being involved manually, and the process gets more ergonomic and efficient.” Over the next three years, Mutlu hopes the collaboration with Boeing will move a new robot manufacturing platform from Madison to the Boeing laboratories, where it will be further developed for the production floor and then to worldwide use. “As we’re building it, we’re going to do a lot of testing here in our lab,” he says. “Eventually we want to take it to Boeing and actually demonstrate it there. And a mature, federally funded system that works could be used by anyone in aviation manufacturing.” by Chris Barncard, University of Wisconsin-Madison A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

That’s Hot: This Lung-Inspired 3D-Printed Part For Cooling CO2 Could Take Power Generation To The Next Level

by Fred Guterl

When Charles Parsons invented the steam turbine in 1884, it was a monumental advance. More than a century later, engineers are still relying on steam to operate the turbines that generate much of the world’s power. Perhaps it’s about time to take the technology to the next level. One way to do that is to draw inspiration from the human body. That’s exactly what Peter deBock and his colleagues at GE Research in Niskayuna, NewYork, did:They devised a heat exchanger — an essential component of the cooling system of a power turbine — that mimics human lungs. Heat exchangers are used in power plants to move energy from the hot exhaust that flows out of the primary gas turbine and transfer it to a secondary turbine power loop, or bottoming cycle, to generate more electricity.This process essentially cools the primary turbine exhaust flow with a “working fluid,” like the antifreeze of a car. Most bottoming cycles use steam as the working fluid. Conventional alloys and manufacturing methods, however, limit operating temperatures to less than 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. But what if there were another way? By using other alloys, additive manufacturing (commonly known as 3D printing), and a different working fluid for the bottoming cycle, engineers hope to raise the operating temperature and increase thermal efficiency. Higher temperatures and pressures allow them to pack more punch into a smaller area and extract more energy from it.

One promising working fluid candidate is supercritical carbon dioxide, the same gas that makes soda fizzy. When temperature and pressure hit the right conditions, CO2 becomes supercritical — it acquires the density of liquid but flows more like a gas, and holds an enormous amount of heat energy. As a result, a power generator using it as a medium can be 10 times smaller and more efficient than one that uses steam, and also requires fewer parts. (GE Research is involved in a project led by GasTechnology Institute and partnering with Southwest Research Institute to build a $122 million, CO2 demonstration plant capable of generating of 10-megawatts of electricity (MWe).) Top image: Combining deep expertise in high temperature metal materials, thermal management and additive manufacturing, GE Research Senior Engineer and Metallurgist, Laura Dial, and Peter deBock, a Principal Engineer and specialist in Thermal Management, will work with a team of GE specialists to design an ultra-performing heat exchanger that

improves the efficiency profile for both power generation and advanced aerospace applications. Not pictured but also supporting this development are Bill Gerstler, a Principal Engineer in Thermal Management, and Dan Erno, an additive design specialist. Above: A prototype of a 3D printed heat exchanger designed by GE researchers Dan Erno and Bill Gerstler at GE’s Research campus in Niskayuna, NY. This heat exchanger was designed to have a tri-furcating structure where both fluids split in three directions and recombine continuously throughout the device, mimicking bio-inspired natural concepts like the human lungs to improve thermal efficiency.

Supercritical CO2 is a big priority for ARPA-E, the U.S. Department of Energy’s advanced research arm. Recently,ARPA-E put out a call for a new kind of heat exchanger that could help these advanced power plants handle temperatures of 1,650 degrees F — more than 450 degrees higher than current heat exchangers that use steam — at pressures of more than 3,600 pounds per square inch. (Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.69 psi.) When deBock and his colleagues heard these requirements, their minds went to two advances simmering at GE Research’s labs in Niskayuna: “extreme design skills and extreme metallurgy skills,” deBock says. Laura Dial, a senior researcher from the metallurgy team, worked to develop an advanced nickel superalloy for use in jet engine parts.The metal is capable of retaining sufficient strength at extreme high temperatures and is also suited for additive manufacturing, a relatively new technology in which a computer-controlled machine fuses together thin layers of material, including high-end metal, to build a part. Objects built by 3D printing can have much more intricate shapes than those made with conventional manufacturing techniques. “With 3D printing,” says deBock, “we can build design architectures that were previously impossible.” 3D printing paved the way for some radical thinking about how to design a heat exchanger for high temperatures and pressures. DeBock’s team took inspiration from human lungs, which play an important role in helping cool the body to about 98 degrees F. ”Lungs,” says deBock, “are the ultimate heat exchanger.” The lung accomplishes its heat-exchange function with a network of capillaries, which split the flow of blood into small streams to maximize their exposure to the cooler air coming in from the outside, releasing heat and absorbing oxygen.The GE heat exchanger, designed by scientist Dan Erno, does something similar. It takes hot airflow that comes out of the gas turbine and splits and recombines it continuously into a trifurcating network of ducts, each less than 2.5 millimeters in diameter, that are interlaced with another network of channels filled with the colder working fluid (in this case, supercritical CO2) that runs in the opposite direction. The hot air and the working fluid are kept physically separate, but their close proximity allows for efficient heat exchange. In April, ARPA-E awarded GE a $2.5 million, 2.5-year grant to develop a 50-kilowatt demonstration heat exchanger using its new design. GE’s partners in the project include Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which will contribute expertise in corrosion science to test and validate the material’s long-term performance, and the University of Maryland, which will aid with heat exchanger design and optimization expertise.

Boeing Submits Plans To Expand 737 Max Production Facilities Despite a worldwide grounding of its bestselling jet, Boeing is developing a $132.9 million project to expand its 737 Max aircraft production facilities in Renton. The project, detailed in land-use documents obtained by the Business Journal, suggests the Chicago-based jet maker is investing big as it prepares to boost production once the Max fallout begins to wane and the plane is certified to fly again. The Max has been grounded across the world since March.

REDUCING TORQUE REACTION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED QX Series™ Ergonomic Tightening Systems Control and ergonomics, not compromise - that is what the QX Ergonomic Tightening System is all about. QX ETS offers all the capabilities found in the QX Series™ platform, without the torque reaction.

SIMPLE

The proposed facilities — to be built on a 6.61 million-square-foot portion of the Renton property — appear designed to support much higher output than Boeing’s production of nearly 50 jets a month. “In order to meet future needs, we are studying a plan for additional paint capacity and airplane stalls at our Renton site,” Boeing spokesman Paul Bergman said. “We will work closely with the city of Renton during the process.” Boeing has been drafting plans and working with engineers, potential contractors and noise study consultants for months, for what it calls the Apron E project, records show.

ETS

(Ergonomic Tightening System)

Simple Setup In addition to standard direct drive mode, each tool configuration can be independently programmed to utilize one of the three available single-parameter ETS modes, simpliying setup: 1. Ergonomic Mode: With the lowest energy pulses, is ideal for hand joints or when arm wrist or tool angles are most difficult

2. Performance Mode: With Medium energy pulse, is the best all-purpose mode

3. Productivity Mode: With the highest energy pulses, is the fastest mode. Ideal for soft joints or when high production rates are required

The project would include: A two-bay paint facility building (at least 235 feet by 307 feet and 85 feet high) to accommodate jets as large as Boeing’s 737 Max 10. A two-story production support facility that will feature offices, conference rooms, storage and employee lockers. Three aircraft stalls where mechanics and technicians will work on aircraft, together with a 25-foot-high specialized sound barrier. An electrical and mechanical utility building. A stormwater treatment system, including an oil/water separator vault system. A Boeing rendering shows plans for a

Renton factory expansion that includes a new two bay painting hangar, a three new aircraft production stalls and office and conference rooms in a building behind the paint facility. To make room for the new facilities, Boeing has proposed demolishing a parking lot it identified as S-2 lot at 737 Logan Ave. N. that has 1,000 employee spots. The Apron E project also requires Boeing to demolish an existing fire station and rebuild it at an area north of the project site, under another building permit application process. The jet maker’s expansion plans emerged a week after Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg said the company may have to cut or halt production of the 737 Max if safety regulators do not soon re-certify it to fly. One aerospace industry source, speaking on condition they weren’t identified to not harm business relationships, said that before the two 737 Max crashes that killed a combined 346 people, Boeing 737 factory planners were quietly studying factory production flows to determine if Max production could be boosted as high as 100 aircraft a month.
