THE DAYS OF THE TRADITIONAL MACHINE TOOL ARE NOT NUMBERED Additive technologies as the icing on the cake at EMO Hannover 2017 To quote Carl Fruth, Managing Board Chairman of FIT AG, Lupburg, “at EMO, the very latest CNC-based production he whole world is talking about 3D printing, additive manufacturing and technologies will be on show, additive generative multi-layer construction technologies. Nevertheless, this is a long manufacturing among them. Innovative Tway from meaning that the classical machine tool is going to be pensioned potential product solutions in this field off. EMO Hannover 2017 will be showcasing an international banquet of production will be demonstrated.” Photo: Fit AG technology – with alternative processes as the highly auspicious icing on the cake. Carl Fruth has meanwhile long since achieved his goal of transferring competences in The country needs new designer the field of multi-layer technologies into product manufacturing: moreover, within the engineers framework of a Technology Day featuring an in-house exhibition held in April 2017, When traditional design guidelines no FIT AG (Fruth Innovative Technologies) in the Upper Palatinate village of Lupburg, in longer apply, a new generation of design addition to inaugurating a new office building also opened the first additive factory. The engineers is needed, keen to embrace “FIT factory is even on an international comparison unique in terms of manufacturing function-driven thinking. According to Fruth, capacity and automation technology, and is intended to serve as a template for further additive manufacturing means that in the additive manufacturing facilities of the FIT Group,” to quote the firm’s founding father design phase not only the geometry, but also and Managing Board Chairman Fruth. He is a pioneer of additive manufacturing – and a the material properties and the component visionary for whom ten years ago it was already a certainty that multi-layer construction costs are essentially specified in full. This technology would in future be the norm in everyday production operations and the complexity necessitates specialized training sales of milling machines or injection moulding machines would inexorably decline. and experience. Moreover, up to now there But that is still a long way from meaning that the days of the mother of all machines is no software tool in existence that provides (i.e. the traditional machine tool) are numbered. This is impressively confirmed by the all the requisite functions. So firms have to innovations that will be showcased by the exhibitors at EMO Hannover 2017. One of the work with different, complex software tools. impediments to the widespread adoption of additive technology in individualized­ mass Very often, information is lost in transitioning production was described several years ago by Fruth himself as the lack of production- from one tool to another. When you need up suited manufacturing lines. This has changed in the meantime. Fruth puts it like this: to eight iterations for developing a component, “There are a large number of delicate seedlings: many of our customers would like to use the substantial outlay involved is obvious.” additive technologies to manufacture replacements for existing components. But this is possible only in a very few cases. Usually, a new component has to be developed and ˝The competences required, moreover, are very often the adjoining components of the system as well. Firstly, many companies possessed not by a single design engineer, are deterred by the outlay involved, and secondly, of course, you need specialized but only by a team. In traditional companies, development competence for this new production technology.” furthermore, the competences concerned are divided up among different departments – a situation exacerbated by squabbles about prerogatives and uncertainty. Innovative companies, however, also see this as an opportunity: “we support our customers in this process, and train them component by com­ ponent to achieve maximized performance in AM design. That’s why we also call these products ADM – Additive Design and Manufacturing”. When the talk turns to additive manufacturing in an automated process chain (something he used to refer to as the Achilles’ heel!), Fruth becomes veritably effusive, “this is my own particular hobbyhorse. We don’t have a digital specification of our products. This is why Industry 4.0 hasn’t taken off and also As is the case with other production technologies, additively manufactured components why automation isn’t working properly either. also require quality testing.

32 Machinery & Accessories Market – AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2017 At the upcoming EMO Hannover 2017, Fruth expects “to find the very latest CNC-based production technologies, plus innovative potential products in this category. A large number of equipment manufacturers for additive processes and material producers will be exhibiting at EMO Hannover. For us as users of this equipment, this adds a special interest to the fair.” Harmonized software solutions for additive manufacturing A new solution for additive manufacturing operations more easily accessible to a has recently been premiered by Siemens global manufacturing industry. In mass PLM Software, the Business Unit for Product production environments,” says Scheller, Lifecycle Management (PLM), Cologne. It “3D printing has not yet arrived completely: consists of an integrated software package it originated in prototyping and so far has for design, simulation, digital manufacturing, been predominantly used for this purpose. To quote Peter Scheller, Marketing Director plus data and process management. This But we’re approaching a threshold here: at Siemens PLM Software, Cologne, “EMO enables a generative design to be created the process is emerging from this niche; Hannover 2017 is an excellent platform for automatically, on the basis of new functions for many companies are currently thinking learning more about ongoing challenges optimised topologies.

Since the backlog is still growing at an accelerating rate, we expect solid growth in machine tool orders through MAFEMA SALES SERVICES CC at least the end of 2017,” commented Steve Tel +2711 314 4416, Fax +2711 314 2289 Kline, Director of Market Intelligence, Gardner http:/www.heidenhain.co.za Business Media and creator of the GBI.

Products With a perfect blend of the proven stability of the FANUC hardware and Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7OS, the state-of- the-art Professional 6(Pro6) control helps move operators fluidly through machine MAKINO DA300 VMC setup, empower them with easily accessible information and protect them with enhanced REDUCES MACHINING TIME FOR safety. Cycle-time saving and dynamic-control capabilities have been added to the control’s COMPLEX ALUMINIUM COMPONENTS GI functions to help lower costs per part. Included is GI Drilling, a unique G-code drilling cycle that enables the spindle and tool to arc from hole to hole instead of following a square path. This simple change reduces non-cut time by as much as 15 percent on common hole-pattern drilling. On complex 2-D paths, testing has reduced cut time up to 35 percent. While not every tool can make use of these functions, advanced motion control GI is proven to reduce overall cycle time by 3 to 8 percent in typical production components. This reduction saves substantial cost in both high-volume and low-volume production environments by reducing the number of spindles required and freeing up machine availability to take on more work.

52 Machinery & Accessories Market – AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2017 BATTERY PRODUCTION esearch GOES INDUSTRIE 4.0 R A battery that can be charged in seconds, has a large capacity and lasts ten to twelve years? Certainly, many have wanted such a thing. Now the FastStorageBW II project – which includes Fraunhofer– is working on making it a reality. Fraunhofer researchers are using pre-production to optimize large- scale production and ensure it follows the principles of Industrie 4.0 from the outset.

magine you’ve had a hectic day and then, to cap it all, you find that the Ibattery of your electric vehicle is virtually empty. This means you’ll have to take a long break while it charges fully. It’s a completely different story with capacitors, which charge in seconds. However, they have a different drawback: they store very little energy. In the FastStorageBW II project, researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart, together with colleagues from the battery manufacturer VARTA AG and other partners, are developing a powerful hybrid storage system that combines the advantages of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. “The PowerCaps have a specific capacity as high as lead batteries, a long life of ten to twelve years and charge in a matter of Thanks to the early warning and emergency management system, impurities in the water seconds like a supercapacitor,” explains supply can be quickly tracked down. © Fraunhofer IPA/Reiner Bez Joachim Montnacher, Head of the Energy business unit at Fraunhofer IPA. What’s more, Power-Caps can operate at temperatures the outset. Because in the end, that will give companies a competitive advantage.” Another of up to 85 degree Celsius. They withstand advantage is that this cuts the time it takes to ramp up production by more than 50 percent. a hundred times more charge cycles than For this innovative small-scale production setup, researchers cleverly combine certain conventional battery systems and retain production sequences. However, not all systems are connected to each other – at least, as their charge over several weeks without far as the hardware is concerned. More often, it is an employee that carries the batches from any significant losses due to self-discharge. one machine to the next. Ultimately, it is about developing a comprehensive understanding Large-scale production with minimum of the process, not about producing the greatest number of products in the shortest amount risk of time. For example, this means clarifying questions such as if the desired quality can be reproduced. The systems are designed as flexibly as possible so that they can be used The Fraunhofer IPA researchers’ main concern for different production variations. is with manufacturing: to set up new battery production, it is essential to implement the Making large-scale production compatible with Industrie 4.0 relevant process knowledge in the best As far as software is concerned, the systems are thoroughly connected. As with process possible way. After all, it costs millions of clusters, they are also equipped with numerous sensors, which show the clusters what euros to build a complete manufacturing unit. data to capture for each of the process steps. They communicate with one another and “We make it possible for battery manufacturers store the results in a cloud. Researchers and entrepreneurs can then use this data to to install an intermediate step – a small-scale quickly analyze which factors influence the quality of the product – does it have Industrie production of sorts – between laboratory 4.0 capability? Were the right sensors selected? Do they deliver the desired data? Where production and large-scale production,” are adjustments required? says Montnacher. “This way, we can create ideal conditions for large-scale production, Fraunhofer IPA are also applying their expertise beyond the area of production technology: optimize processes and ensure production they are developing business models for the marketing of battery cells, they are analyzing follows the principles of Industrie 4.0 from resource availability and they are optimizing the subsequent recycling of PowerCaps.
