September | 2012 www.design-engineering.com

When astronaut and self-described “nerdy engineer” Neil Armstrong hopped down the ladder of the Apollo 11 lander module in the summer of 1969

to become the first person on the Moon, it marked not only a “giant leap for mankind” but also one of the few times when an engineer has risen to the level of cultural icon.

Even in the months leading up to the launch, Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew’s celebrity had grown to such an extent that they stashed stacks of potentially valuable autographed envelopes as a means of providing for their families should they not make it back. Not surprisingly, buying life insurance was astronomically expensive for a group of men who were about to spend more than a week off planet with the very real possibility of never returning.

In the years following the Apollo program, Armstrong and his fellow mechanical engineer Buzz Aldrin became indelibly imprinted as exemplars who, for a time, coupled the profession with words like heroic and visionary. In the process, they inspired a generation of young STEM-inclined men and women, many of whom would find their way into the Shuttle program 20 or so years later.

Four decades on, Armstrong’s passing in late August at 82 seems to have coincided with a popular resurgence and fascination with space travel and the engineers who make it possible. Through much of the Shuttle program era, with the exception of the Challenger disaster in 1986, launching people into orbit fell out of the public consciousness. The Shuttle became akin to a rocket-fueled semi-trailer, hauling “ho hum” cargo to and from low Earth orbit.

The successful landing and deployment of the Mars Curiosity Rover in early August, however, seems to have reignited the wonder missing for more than forty years. Of course, the Opportunity rover grabbed its share of atten-tion in 2004, but geologic surveys and looking for signs of water doesn’t reso-nate with the same impact as Curiosity’s mission—searching for past Martian life and prepping for future human exploration, among its other objectives.

As important, the rover has drawn attention to the people behind its com-plex but flawlessly executed decent to the Martian surface. Much of that focus has centered on the mission’s flamboyant flight director, Bobak Ferdowsi. The young aerospace engineer became an instant Internet sensation shortly after the TV broadcast of Bobak and his fellow Jet Propulsion Laboratory colleagues’ ecstatic celebration of the landing. At 32, he seems too young to be in charge, especially when you throw in his trademark Mohawk hair cut, red and blue highlights and star-spangled sideburns.

And, admittedly, “Mohawk Guy” is a world away from the Apollo 13’s steely and straight-laced Gene Kranz, with his flat top hairstyle and white vests. But Ferdowsi’s catapult to celebrity status, even if momentary, shows the next generation that what we, as a culture, admire and aspire to is just as much about intelligence, ingenuity and vision as athleticism or walking the red carpet. Like Armstrong’s first footprint on the Moon, it’s a small step that leaves an enduring impression.

Discovery Air, Hybrid Air Vehicles deal expiresDiscovery Air Innovations Inc. (DAI) and Hybrid Air Vehicles Limited (HAV) agreed to allow their commercial agreement to expire. Under that deal, the companies entered a preliminary agreement to launch a commercial heavy lift air vehicle program.

“The commercial agreement provided a help-ful framework for our initial collaboration, but we have concluded that the option structure does not align with our current investment horizon,” said Paul Bouchard, President of DAI. “We remain excited about this technology’s potential and intend to continue working with HAV to promote the commercialization of heavy lift Hybrid Air Vehicles.”www.discoveryair.com

and the Communications Research Centre (CRC).

COM DEV International Ltd. announced that it has completed work on the instrument it designed and built for the James Webb

Space Telescope, successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. The two-in-one instrument will serve to point the telescope precisely.

Canada is providing Webb’s Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS), as well as one of the telescope’s four science instruments: the Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS). The Fine Guidance Sensor consists of two redundant cameras that will allow the Webb telescope to determine its position on the sky, locate its celestial targets and remain accurately pointed, down to one millionth of a degree.

The NIRISS is designed to find the earliest and most distant objects in the Universe and discover Earth-like “exoplanets” and determine their chemical composition to seek water vapour, carbon dioxide and other biomarkers such as methane and oxygen.

Slated for launch in 2018, the James Webb Space Telescope is a joint project between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. The Webb telescope will examine the first stars and galaxies to form after the Big Bang, study the formation of new stars, and seek extra-solar planetary systems capable of support-ing life on planets like Earth.

Canada’s contribution—designed, built and tested by COM DEV at its facilities in Ottawa and Cambridge, Ontario—will buy Canadian astronomers a share of observing time once the telescope launches.www.comdevintl.com

Siemens Canada Celebrates CentennialSiemens Canada celebrated its 100-year anniversary with an event at its new 110,000 square foot headquarters in Oakville, to be completed in late 2012. The event was attended by Siemens senior executives, including Siemens AG CEO Peter Löscher.

Siemens Canada’s parent company, Sie-mens AG was founded in Germany 165 years ago, and conducted its first work in Can-ada shortly after Confederation, laying one of the first transatlan-tic telegraph cables between Europe and North America, from Ireland to Halifax, in 1874. The company was chartered federally as the Siemens Company of Canada Limited in Montreal in 1912.

Since then, Siemens Canada has been involved in several impor-tant Canadian firsts, including the first national telex network in1957; one of the first modern light rail systems in North Amer-ica in 1975; and the design and installation of the world’s first retractable roof at Toronto’s Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome) in 1989. Siemens also played a role in some of Canada’s most iconic projects, including lighting areas of Expo’67 in Montreal; illumi-nating both the CN Tower in 1994 and Niagara Falls in 2007.www.siemens.ca

from discrete manufacturing industries. The market has also been witnessing that vendors are developing platforms for interoperability, to provide integrated software. However, the lack of standardization could pose a challenge to the growth of this market, the report contends.

“The Global Mechanical Computer-aided Design (MCAD) vendors are developing interoperability platforms to integrate MCAD with other applications,” an analyst from TechNavio’s Engineering team said. “Integration of MCAD and electronic CAD (ECAD) is one of the emerging trends in the market. Many end-users prefer integrated MCAD and ECAD software, which resolves various conflicts in the market. This integrated software reduces product development time and also reduces operating expenses.”

According to the report, the Global MCAD market is driven by discrete industries such as industrial machinery, automotive, electronics, and aerospace and defense. In addi-tion, the global discrete industry is growing at a faster rate in developing countries than developed countries and is therefore enhancing demand for MCAD software. Further, the report also says that the increasing demand for open-source software affects the growth of the commercial vendors in the global MCAD market.www.technavio.com

By Ralph Grabowski

CAD software operating on mobile devices is not new. Companies in

the late 1990s, like Graebert, already had simple 2D CAD systems running on PDAs (personal digital assistants), pre-cursors to today’s smartphone.

But drawbacks were serious enough to preclude mobile CAD from becoming common, due to low screen resolution and mere megabytes of memory.

Fast forward to the iPhone which defi ned the new generation of mobile devices. Today, numerous CAD vendors are releasing apps for Android and iOS devices, but I consider them to be tenta-tive steps. Most are just 2D/3D viewers.

Some add mark ups and the ability to toggle layers or select viewpoints, but none are full blown CAD systems.

With such powerful hardware, why the weak software? There are reasons why CAD vendors cannot issue an Auto-CAD LT for iPad.

Challenges in Mobile OSesSmartphones and tablets run many operating systems, but only three are suitable for CAD:

• Google Android: largest market share but also the most fragmented; it runs on many devices from hard-ware companies, since the source code is freely available.

• Apple iOS: second largest market-

share but is limited to hardware from Apple; it cannot be licensed and many details closed to developers.

• Microsoft Mobile: falling market share and runs on some devices; it’s licensed at cost and most details available.

Not viable operating systems include Nokia’s Symbian (nearly dead), Intel-supported Meego (a.k.a. Moblin and Maemo), and RIM’s OS (losing traction).

Mobile CADAs hand held devices gain in performance, running CAD on tiny screens has its appeal but still faces challenges.

Now, let’s look at the problems faced by CAD vendors:

OS Woes: Developers tend to write for iPhone and iPad tablet fi rst, even though Android has twice the market share, because Android suffers from fragmentation. The operating system is freely available, and so anyone can modify it, resulting in hundreds of variations. When Google issues updates, it can be too much work to modify the mods. Google is fi xing fragmentation slowly; nevertheless, new releases of Android aren’t on even relatively new devices, whereas Apple is good at sup-porting old devices.

Apple’s iOS is not resolution-indepen-dent, and so developers write apps twice, once for lower resolution iPhones and again for higher resolution iPads. Android adjusts to any resolution of any screen.

Apple users must go through the company’s App Store and apps cannot be “side loaded”; CAD vendors cannot launch iOS software on their own time-table (they have to wait for Apple’s

approval), nor can they issue updates quickly. Android allows apps to be installed from any source.

CPU Incompatibility: The primary problem that the ARM CPU used by nearly all smartphones and tablets is its incompatibility with Intel CPUs used by desktop computers. Therefore, CAD vendors have to write much of their software from scratch.

In one attempt to overcome the prob-lem, Intel is porting Android to Atom CPUs. Microsoft with Windows 8 Mobile wants to make it easy to port desktop apps to ARM CPUs.

Small Working RAM: Available RAM has a hard limit, as little as 256MB (in early iPhones). Desktop Windows has paging (data too big for computer’s memory is moved to the hard drive temporarily) that’s not available on portable devices. The CAD program, drawing data, and other running pro-grams all have to fi t inside of 512MB or 1GB of memory.

With time, the limits will lift; Sam-

sung is showing 2GB models. In contrast, Apple doesn’t report RAM amounts, leaving developers to guess at what’s available.

Generally, portable devices cannot display drawings in original CAD for-mats, because the fi les are too large. Nearly all CAD vendors convert fi les to a more compact form, stripping out unneeded information. Some CAD systems use the Save As command to convert fi les for portable devices, as does GStarCAD. Others save drawings to the cloud, which does the conversion (as with AutoCAD WS).

Human Interaction: Portable devices require that we use our relatively fat fi ngers to navigate. How to see the draw-ing under our fi nger? GStarsoft’s MC uses a bird’s-eye view window, while Samsung is reintroducing the stylus to some tablets. Most CAD software, how-ever, involves only viewing and so fat-fi ngered editing is not an issue.

Touchscreens detect fi ve to ten simul-taneous touches, but there is no touch-

motion standard beyond drag-to-scroll and pinch-to-zoom. Even panning is inconsistent.

Semi-Accelerated Graphics: ARM CPUs include a GPU component (named “Mali”) for displaying graphics quickly, but it OpenGL ES has limited support for the OpenGL graphics used by most desk-top CAD programs. This limits the types of 3D shaded modes used, but ehance-

ments to Mali and OpenGL ES should make 3D graphics faster next year.

Benefits to Mobile CADWith many drawbacks to CAD on por-table devices, why bother? “We are willing to give up functionality for portability,” explains Vectorworks CEO Sean Flaherty. Smartphones let us view drawings on devices we have with us all the time.

Ease of Access: In my home town, a new mall is being built, and when I met the project manager, he pulled out his iPhone and showed how AutoCAD WS let him view any detail drawings to resolve construction issues. He was excited by this.

CAD apps tend to be integrated with cloud storage, like DropBox and GMail. Provided we keep project files in our desktop computer’s cloud folder, we can bring up the most recent versions of files, without having to carry multi-gigabytes versions on our phones, or even bother with remembering to refresh old copies with new ones.

Free Pricing. The way that Apple structured its app store caused a freefall in pricing. The low 99-cent prices ben-efit us, but are hard on CAD vendors who have programmers to pay.

To overcome the pricing problem, some CAD vendors tie mobile apps to their desktop software. Vectorworks allows access only to subscription cus-tomers. Autodesk hints at charging for AutoCAD WS with more features.

An exception is IMSI/Design, who charges as much as $30 for its Turbo-Viewer Pro, which includes advanced functions like cloud-translation from some 20 formats.

The FutureThe future of computing is defined by faster and cheaper, but we are only good at predicting the future linearly, and so we don’t know the twists faster and cheaper will take. Just think: three years ago, the iPad didn’t exist.

From the next year’s specs being touted this year, we can expect portable devices that make full CAD a near real-ity. But, today, portable CAD software is mostly for viewing drawings. We can expect more in the future, right? Well, it’s just that portable technology zigs so fast that we cannot predict where it will zag next. DE

Snake HandlerHydro-Quebec heightens safety of plant operations with modular “snake-arm” manipulator.

By Steve Scanlan

Handling in small confi ned spaces where machinery can-not enter is usually done manually by several workers,

complicating the task and posing a safety risk to handling personnel and equipment. Tighter worker safety norms in the 2009 Occupational Health and Safety Act have encouraged employers to seek handling equipment for these tasks, as well as safer methods for manual handling in an effort to reduce back and joint injury resulting from heavy lifting.

Cranes, cables, forklifts and other commonly used handling equipment can be complex and time-consuming to deploy and employ, especially in limited work spaces. In order to reduce job length, as well as ensuring the safety of personnel for han-dling in confi ned spaces, innovative solutions are required.

To address this challenge, Montreal-based robotics manufacturer, Robotics Design Inc., has created the ANATERGOARM TMA-500, an assisted manipulator that reforms the way handling heavy loads is performed. The arm was fi rst tested in the confi ned and hazardous spaces under the rotor of Hydro-Quebec’s Robert Bourassa Gen-erating Station. The TMA-500 designed to maximize job output and reduce personnel in the handling, repair, main-tenance and manufacturing industries.

This assisted manipulator provides a high safety method for handling up to 500kg loads through tight spaces, and around obstacles. It can be assembled and disassembled onsite with a minimum workforce, due to the company’s ANAT technology. The patented mechanical architecture allows any mechanical and robotic system to be formed from identical U- and H-shaped modules. When connected in a chain, the modules distribute pressure evenly amongst other attached modules like cells of the body, improving payload carrying capacity without losing fl exibility.

This ANATERGOARM model is operated by a single worker by moving the arm around its base by hand, and by pushing the arm over a distance when it is attached to a rail. It can be designed in a dual or quad-arm confi guration, with arms working in unison to increase carrying capacity. Larger mod-els can be created for heavier loads. In addition, the tool-holder is customizable for different shaped loads, or for clamping onto the object.

Hydro-Quebec deployed this arm at the Robert Bourassa generating station to remove, repair and replace 300kg break units

from a four-foot tall confi ned space under the turbine rotor in 2011. It helped make repairs easier and safer than attempting to repair the components on-site and reduced the down-time of the plant, in comparison to having them repaired in place.

The equipment’s modular design was critical for this task, as it allowed a single worker to carry the arm’s components and install and remove them easily, although the equipment can also be fi xed in place. It can be quickly deployed and re-deployed for different handling tasks throughout the tur-bine, or stored along with the rail in portable cases. This ANATERGOARM was awarded the “Work Health and Safety” award in 2011 at the 21st exhibition of the innovation awards by IRSST (Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé).

The TMA-500 is designed for automobile line assembly, materials handling, mould manipulation, positioning parts and any other handling, repair and maintenance task where heavy objects must be manipulated or require fi ne-tuning, and is particularity effective for tasks in limited spaces.

Throughout the automobile line assembly market, work-ers sit on assisted manipulators to attach doors, panels, win-dows and other parts. However, these arms don’t allow the arm to bend around more than one obstacle at a time, and take quite a bit of space.

By contrast, Robotic Design’s machinery allows workers to position parts using the most direct movement paths possible, while the arm itself requires minimal working space. In addition, its zero-gravity load design allows work-ers to carry 500kg loads horizontally without power con-

To date, two ANATERGOARM models have been released, starting with the AEA-15 tool-support, which won the gold medal and the Industrial Design award at the 31st International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva. This ergonomic assisted manipulator allows users to position and manipulate pneu-matic, electric and hydraulic tools without the effect of grav-ity, and allows users to manipulate tools.

It is made from anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, and eliminates the weight and absorbs torque of tools up to 15kg. The arm also reduces repetitive motion injury in workers, as well as workplace injury and worker fatigue. The arm can be used for welding, tapping, de-burring, nut running, burnish-ing and sizing, inserting helicoids, drilling, screwing, grind-ing, torch cutting, handling and repairing objects in restricted places and maintenance. It can also be customized to hold tooling of any shape and size and is scalable for heavier loads or can be tele-operated for tasks in confined or hazardous environments.

This equipment can be customized for heavier payload weights in tasks such as aircraft assembly and naval main-tenance. The arm can also be motorized, and the equipment made tele-operated for tasks that must be performed at a distance, and can be made mobile along a removable rail, or fixed in place. Thanks to its modularity, this arm is fully customizable, as new systems and enhancements can be formed from identical ANAT modules making ANAT equip-ment the perfect solution for any handling task. This inno-vative industrial technology allows users to create the machine that suits their needs, without the standard high custom-made tooling costs. DEhttp://roboticsdesign.qc.ca

Sensors

Position SensorHoneywell introduced a rotary con-fi guration to its SMART position sensor line that provides 360 degree non-contact angular position sensing. The component uses a combination of an ASIC and an array of magneto-resistive sensors to determine the position of a magnet collar, down to 0.01 degrees. Repeatable output that occurs within a 3.0mm ±2.0mm (0.118 in ±0.079 in) air gap between the sensor and magnet collar expand application opportunities. The sensor also provides minimal signal error with up to 2.50mm [0.10 in] of radial error.http://sensing.honeywell.com

Photoelectric SensorCarlo Gavazzi launched its PH18 Series photoelectric sensor, which features an M18-rectangular hous-ing that can be mounted as a rectangular sensor or as an M18 cylindrical sensor. The housing is also rated IP67, IP69K and has a ECOLAB certifi cation. The series includes diffuse (1m sensing range), retro-refl ective (6.5m sensing range), polarized retro-refl ective (5m sensing range) and through-beam (20m sensing range) sensing modes. The sensor series offers a choice of NPN or PNP versions, each with normally open and normally closed outputs, two LED indicators and three connection choices (2m PVC cable, M12 plug or short PVC cable with M12 plug).www.GavazziOnline.com

A/D Servo InclinometersMeggitt Sensing Systems intro-duced the Sensorex SX41100 series, a servo inclinometer family featuring analog/digital outputs and a maximum linearity error of less than ±0.02 percent FS. With available ranges of ±1 to ±70 degrees, the SX41100 is designed to provide an output signal proportional to the angle of measure-ment. The series features the company’s Sensorex digital hybrid compensation circuit design for inclinometers with ±5V analog, 4-20 mA, and RS232 or RS485 outputs. Units feature built-in active digital temperature compensation, reliably operating over a tem-perature range of -40° to +85°C (-40° to +185°F). The sensors operate from a 9-30V unipolar power supply and feature IP65 environmental sealing. Digital versions are delivered with software and digital data transmitted in ASCII format.www.meggittsensingsystem.com

Digital Infrared Video ThermometerOmega introduced its OS-VIR50 series of digital infrared video thermometers that feature a dual laser that indicates ideal measuring distance. In addition, the ther-mometer features a color LED bar graph for viewing trends; a 150 millisecond response time; and a type K thermocouple input and trigger lock function for continuous readings. OS-VIR50 can measure temperatures up to 2200°C. With a double molded housing, the thermometer has adjustable emissivity to increase measurement accuracy for different services as well as adjustable high/low set points with audible alarm alerts.www.omega.com

Fluid Power

Solenoid Valve Festo introduced its VUVG solenoid valve with high fl ow rates and a pressure range of up to 10 bar. Ac-cording to the company, a smaller size VUVG valve, compared to existing valves, can be used in 90 percent of ap-plications. VUVG valves achieve up to 100 percent more fl ow for faster cycle times. The component integrates 2 x3/2 way valves in one valve housing, reducing installation space by half. Festo’s patented cartridge principle enables a separated two-pressure operation and no overlapping between the air ducts. In addition, a variable electrical connection concept allows the electronics box to be replaced with one click. The valve hous-ing remains the same, only the connection option is changed. The valve functions as 5/2, 5/3, 2×3/2 with fl ow rates (l/min) of 100, 220, 380, 750. In addition, multiple pressure zones can be set up in valve manifold.www.festo.ca/vuvg

Safety RelayAutomation Direct announced the BH5932 speed monitor relay module, designed to monitor two sensor inputs that are detecting rotating targets on a motor shaft. The relay features two-channel operation and can be used for standstill and over-speed monitoring of three-phase motors. When used as a standstill monitor, a switch point is set just above the “safe” or normal operating speed. When motor speed rises above this setting, the relay opens to protect against motor damage. The BH5932 relay module has an adjustable impulse-per-minute (IPM) range of 10 to 20,000 IPM, LED status indicators, two PNP sensor inputs, and two normally-open and one normally-closed positive-guided contacts. www.automationdirect.com

Ray Brougham’s company, Prototype Equipment Design, is all about providing unique solutions for very specifi c problems.

By Treena Hein

To his customers Ray Brougham is many things—engineer-ing wizard, tweaker, possessor of numerous skills—and

the builder of a unique and growing prototype business in Victoria, BC. Put simply, Prototype Equipment Design (PED) is a fl uid hive of problem-solving activity where engineering ideas transform into reality.

“About half the time we work from fairly well-established plans; about 25 per cent of our projects are tweaking something that’s already constructed. The other 25 per cent of the time we are building from scratch—sometimes literally from what’s been drawn or a napkin or two,” Brougham says. “Right now, for example, we have a project where it’s totally up to us how we tackle it, working with a sculptor who needs a quick way to shape and cut large pieces of jade.”

An unfi nished jade sink, which will soon be worth more than $25,000, is one of many one-of-a-kind items in the large shop area. The place is chock full of unrecognizable bits and pieces along with a large number of computer-controlled machines that produce the unique items Brougham and his staff of 16 create. The idea to go his own way came to Brougham after he had worked for Redlen Technologies, a nearby manufacturer of gamma and x-ray detectors.

“I was doing lithography, placing pixels on semiconductors twelve years ago, and I wanted to use that experience with other companies,” he says. Eleven years ago, he started branching out on his own, but still works for Redlen one day a week.

PED projects span the medical, aerospace, military, security and research sectors. For example, a contract from the Univer-sity of Victoria and the Canadian Space Agency involved build-ing a microgravity simulator for growing semiconductor boules in space. One of the most challenging projects was working with the Hertzberg Institute to create a series of identical Band 3 hetra-dyne receiver waveguides used to align the main receiv-ers in each of the 66 radio telescope in the ALMA project array in Chile—to a precision level of less than 10 microns.

PED also currently serves as a fi rst-level supplier of hull fasteners for Babcock Canada, the company retrofi tting Canada’s submarines. “We’ve built a full-scale replica of the submarine control room so that we can make new parts that will make repairs easier,” Brougham adds.

Deadlines are sometimes pretty tight. “We recently had

two weeks to build a submersible sonar prototype from draw-ings that took the inventor months to create,” Brougham remembers. He says most solutions come from individual and group brainstorming, but sometimes from a comment or question from an employee not working on the project—or who actually may not be involved with the engineering and design side of things at all.

He considers his highly-skilled and well-trained staff to be the primary determination of the company’s success. “I have a great team, but as we’re getting bigger and more com-plicated, we’re having some growing pains,” he says. “It’s tough to keep everyone moving forward because I don’t like hier-archical situations, but my team is asking for more structure. We need strict protocols for handling special materials and guidelines for sharing resources.”

Although the machining side of the business is stable, Brougham wants to diversify and gain traction in the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly market. With the current North American market continuing to move business offshore in order to keep manufacturing costs down, Brougham sees an opportunity to provide a service to companies who are look-ing for quality with assembly of PCB prototypes.

“In Victoria, there are 800 tech companies, and at least a quarter are doing something with circuit boards,” he says, “so I am establishing us as an assembler and seeking out opportuni-ties to make fi rst runs of 20 for trade shows and so on.” DEhttp://engineersmachineshop.ca

Dal Researchers Secure Funding for Pneumatic Motor Design

Dalhousie master’s student Braden Murphy and mechanical

engineering professor Dr. Darrel Doman unveil their newly developed

pneumatic engine. (Photo credit: Bruce Bottomley)

Dalhousie University announced that the inventors of an innovative pneumatic engine, developed at the university,

have partnered with York Bridge Enterprises, Inc. to develop the technology.

Dr. Darrel Doman and Braden Murphy from Dalhousie’s Mechanical Engineering department developed the engine and say that it is lighter, more energy efficient and requires less maintenance than existing technologies.

Rather than linear pistons whose actuation is transferred to rotary motion, the pair’s unique design features a toroid chamber, with pistons that rotate continuously around the drive shaft. The result is a design that overcomes many of the shortcomings of traditional pneumatic motors in that it is more compact, supplies higher torque at low speeds and doesn’t suffer from leaking and other maintenance issues.

“We are very excited to be entering a partnership with York Bridge Enterprises to further develop and commercialize our pneumatic engine technology,” said Dr. Doman, co-inventor, and professor from Dalhousie’s Faculty of Engineering. “As with any technology developed at research-intensive univer-sities such as Dalhousie, it’s critical to have the high level of industry collaboration that we have with York Bridge. By partnering our engineering technology expertise with their business acumen, we see a bright future for the engine.”

To commercialize the engine, a Nova Scotia-based start-up, Scotia Motor Works, will work to develop the technology for the oil and gas industry as well as lawn and garden tools, potentially.www.dal.ca

PTMC Sector Growth Slows in Q2According to the Power Transmission Distributors Associa-tion’s Business Index, the second quarter of 2012 was the ninth consecutive quarter for business growth among PTDA mem-bers, albeit at a slower pace. Both distributing and manufac-turing participating members reported decelerated sales but

expect 2012 to be another year of growth with an average forecast of 8 percent, down from 11 percent from the first quarter survey. Notably, 82 percent of distributors and 90 percent of manufacturers expect positive growth in 2012.

On average, the PTDA Index reports that sales rose 7 per-cent in 2Q12, down from the 9 percent growth seen in 1Q. Distributor sales grew 6 percent in 2Q, down from 9 percent in 1Q, while manufacturers also reported decelerated sales growth of 8 percent in 2Q, compared with 10 percent growth last quarter.

The growth rate of new orders saw the biggest declines, with a net 5 percent of members reporting higher new orders in 2Q compared to a net 62 percent reporting higher new orders in 1Q. Similarly, a net 10 percent of members reported further backlog growth in 2Q, down from the net 33 percent the first quarter. On the plus side, PTDA members reported continued hiring. Overall, a net 34 percent of firms reported increased staffing, compared to a net 49 percent in 1Q. According to the report, manufacturers appear to be hiring at a faster pace than distributors, which is a reversal from last quarter’s trend.

The PTDA Business Index includes U.S. and Canadian break-out data in addition to historical data. Conducted jointly by PTDA and Cleveland Research Company, the PTDA Quarterly Business Index was modeled after the widely respected Purchas-ing Managers Index and tracks change in business activity, new orders, employment, supplier deliveries, inventories, prices and backlog in the PT/MC market to arrive at an overall index.www.ptda.org

ATS Posts First Quarter ProfitsCambridge, ON-based system integration giant, ATS Automa-tion Tooling Systems Inc., announced that it had a $9.8-mil-lion profit in its first fiscal quarter, based in part on reduced losses from its solar equipment arm. By comparison, the company reported a loss of $5 million, including a 13-cent loss at discontinued operations from the same quarter the previous year.

Overall, the company increased its revenue to $152.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 up from $126.9 million a year earlier. However, overall profit and revenue were below analyst estimates of $161.8 million in revenue. Specifically, the com-pany’s Automation System Group revenue rose 20 percent

higher from the previous year, due to a larger order backlog. In addition revenue from consumer products and electronics

rose 15 percent; life sciences increased 18 percent; and transpor-tation swelled by 69 percent due to improvements in the global automotive market, the company said. However, ATS’ slumping solar business saw a 45 percent decline in revenue.

The Automation group added $168 million in bookings during the quarter, seven percent higher than a year ago, but the company noted the general economic environment remains uncertain — especially in Europe.

ATS, which employs a total of 2,400 people at 20 plants in several countries, has been working to sell or spin off the solar division and lists it as a discontinued operation. ATS added that customer activity in the solar energy market has slowed, as reduced incentives in several markets negatively affected demand for increased generation capacity and equipment.www.atsautomation.com

By Alexa Loiskandl

With so many variables to consider, it is no wonder many designers fi nd it diffi cult to choose the right motor for

their application and often overlook critical parameters along the way. Myostat Motion Control is frequently called upon by our clients to walk them through this, somewhat compli-cated, spec’ing process.

The fi rst step is to understand what motor options are available for motion control. From DC to AC, brushed to brushless, each motor has its own benefi ts and drawbacks. This article examines a sampling of the available options and specifi c parameters designers should consider during the selection process.

When it comes to narrowing down the choices, a designer must consider the specifi cs of the machine design itself and balance the project budget with desired performance and environmental considerations. The following check list will help to ensure all parameters are considered.

SpeedHow fast does the motor need to run? Check the rated or con-stant speed and maximum or peak speed of the motor you are considering. Can the motor, coupled with a ball screw or gear-box, provide the speed required for your job?

Torque and InertiaTorque, the amount of radial force on the motor shaft, is another primary consideration. Can the selected motor pro-vide enough torque to move your load? Keep in mind that coupling the motor with a gearbox will help to achieve torque

but you must ensure you have enough speed to make them effective. Designers must also consider the weight of the mass they are moving and consider if the motor can handle the acceleration and deceleration of the mass without over-driving the motor. Gearboxes reduce the inertia by the square of the ration and are often used to combat the inertia from large loads.

Secondary Considerations include:

SizeIs there a size restriction in your application? If you are build-ing a small part, or something where mass is concerned, a large 5 lbs. motor may not be ideal for you. Often times, the space envelope of your design will dictate which motor can be used. You must then look at the speed and torque of motors within that size range.

CommunicationHow do you plan on sending commands to your motor? Will you need to communicate with multiple motors or be cover-ing large distances between motor and control box? Different motors offer different communication options and add-ons. Motor types also vary from pulse or step/direction type to more advanced methods such as Ethernet.

There are also specifi c protocols from daisy chaining motors; you can utilize methods such as CAN or serial inter-faces for these. Again, if your controller needs to send a specifi c type of command, this may dictate which motor you choose as not all motors offer all options.

Accuracy and ResolutionHow accurate do the motors have to be? Are you measuring minute dimensions with a sensor that requires large amounts of precision? Are you simply moving a large plastic piece from one conveyor to another?

Some motors, usually basic steppers, offer a lower resolu-tion, meaning less steps, pulses or small movements per one revolution of the motor shaft. Servos usually offer a high resolution, offering up to 50,000 pulses per revolution. The fi ner your move needs to be, the higher the resolution of your motor should be.

Motor resolution does not necessarily equal accuracy and the two shouldn’t be confused. A stepper motor could be driven by a micro stepping drive with a mathematical resolu-tion of 32,000 micro steps per rotation. However, without sensor feedback, the motor itself may not have the right com-

mutation to move such a small step. Position encoders vary in type and, although they offer a

given resolution, internally they may have intrinsic, kinematic error due to inconsistencies in component manufacturing. Optical encoders rely on holes accurately cut in a glass disk and resolvers rely on consistency in the windings as well as the hardware that holds those windings.

The closed loop system of the motor also contributes to accuracy as the tuning parameters affect both speed and position, reaction time and settling location.

Environmental concernsIn what environment will your motor be running? Will there be a large amount of dust, particulate or water coming into contact with the motor. An IP rating will give you an idea of what environ-ment the motor is suited to run in. Some motors are water resistant; others offer shaft seals which help prevent particulates from getting into the inner workings of the motor through the shaft.

HeatWhat is the temperature and air flow like in the area the motor is to be placed? Heat is a concern when it comes to operating motors. They often have a specific temperature range at which they should be run. Motors produce heat when running, therefore fully enclosed areas with no air circulation may cause motors to overheat.

Certain motors will only draw the amount of current needed to perform a move or hold position. These motors

tend to run cooler as they are not constantly drawing large amounts of current.

BudgetHow much are you looking to spend on your motor? Often times, this is the deciding factor. If you can only spend $100, a high-end servo is obviously not the right choice. You should have an idea of how much you are willing to spend and look for a motor accordingly.

Each design is unique and often, one of the factors outlined above will hold more weight in the decision making process.

By understanding the motor options available and developing a clear set of project parameters, engineers and machine designers will be able to avoid costly mis-takes and ensure that the correct motor is chosen for the job. DEwww.myostat.ca

Canada’s motion control leaders discussthe slowing MC market, product trends and network security.

DE: According to a recent Motion Control Association report, the MC industry saw double-digit growth in past two years. Is 2012 looking as good so far?

Dave Buckley, Industrial Automation Products Manager, Motion Industries Canada: Between the unemployment levels in North America and the uncertainty in Europe, it isn’t a good climate to fi nd buyers. For North American manufactur-ers to be competitive while coping with extremely high labour costs, the only solution is to automate. And there have been some excellent opportunities to automate in Canada. Having said that, the last couple of months have seen a dramatic slow-down; it has gone from the cautious to the terrifi ed level.

Kian Sanjari, Product Manager for I/O and Networking, Phoenix Contact: 2012 looks like it may be a bit of a challenge. We are still experiencing double-digit growth in certain areas, but some products are struggling.

Bill Faber, Group Manager for Automation Technology, Omron: The market is still growing although not as strong this year. Even in the U.S., we’re still experiencing about 10 to 15 percent growth. For our company, in this particular area, our growth is closer to 25 or 30 percent.

A lot of it depends on which specifi c markets and appli-cations you are heading toward. Each company’s ability to refocus in those areas is going to determine the growth they experience. Overall, you’ll probably see 10 to 15 percent growth in the U.S. and 5 to 10 percent in Canada if you are focused in those areas. If you’re not, then you might see fl at in Canada.

Joe Ottenhof, Regional Manager Canada, Beckhoff Automation:Overall, I would say 2012 will not exhibit the same growth as seen in the previous two or three years. There will be certain sectors driven by large projects that may see a bump. However, overall manufacturing in Canada is suffering and that will be refl ected in the motion control sector. I think the market will see a fl at year in 2012, but I hope I am wrong.

DE: Which products or product categories show the stron-gest growth in the Canadian market? What do those trends suggest?

Buckley - Motion Canada: I’ve been around for a long time, and I’ve found that linear rails are an amazing forerunner of what is going to happen in the economy. When they pick up, it happens as much as six months before the general economy. And when linear rail sales turn down, it does so up to six months beforehand. In this case, our linear products are dropping off rather dramatically which isn’t a good sign. Manufacturers know they have to automate and they have been, until recently. Now, they are still exploring that but they don’t want to commit to the expense with the lack of security in the markets.

Sanjari - Phoenix Contact: We are very diverse in that we have automation products and then we also have connectors and terminal blocks. From the numbers right now, it seems we have experienced pretty good growth in terms of the con-nectors and electronic devices. Power supplies are also strong but the biggest is I/O points. Overall, the growth has come from a blend of different factors in the last few years. In a nutshell, I don’t see it as organic growth due to the market. Where we saw growth was due to the new products we intro-duced and a sales structure that takes advantage of markets in the West and in Quebec.

Faber - Omron: We are defi nitely seeing strong growth in variable frequency drives and Machine Automation Control. Most of the growth we’re experiencing is business-driven and not economy-driven. The downside in Canada is that the reces-sion hit hard causing plant closings.

I think the closings were mainly due to the economy but the recoveries or the sales we are seeing are due to efforts to improve productivity. When a company becomes more effi cient and competitive, they tend to grow and add more employees which fuels the recovery. I think that is prevalent in Canada. Companies are looking at complete control solutions because the funda-mental outcome is increased throughput because of less interfac-ing latencies, less time down because of integrated

troubleshooting, and higher yield because of higher system synchronization accuracies—this all means higher OEE and more effi cient lines.

Ottenhof - Beckhoff: In the area of servo drives, we think the integration of “safety” directly into the drive will reach maturity. Instead of simply removing power from the drive, new modes of operation such as safe speed, safe direction, safe limited position and safe torque will con-tribute to the design of more compact and functional manufacturing lines. Due to these new safe operating modes, a multi-robot manufacturing line can be built on a smaller footprint.

Also, size matters, so the move to incorporating servo drives into an I/O system rather than as a separate cabinet mounted device is important. Extremely compact, 12mm-wide I/O-based servo drives enable the servo motor to be used in applications previously handled by stepper motors, offering enhanced machine performance.

DE: Electric power rates are escalating, particularly in Ontario. How important a factor is energy efficiency becoming in prod-uct selection, from your perspective?

Buckley - Motion Canada: It isn’t as important as the people who provide energy efficient products would like it to be. In the overall scheme of things, when you are trying to compete in the world markets, the single biggest cost is labour. That’s a pretty deadly cost compared to countries that pay a dollar an hour with no benefits. Yes, energy costs have risen dramatically, but if you put that into proportion to anywhere else in the world, we’re still not highly expensive energy wise in North America. Even China sees huge energy costs because they struggle with supplying enough energy to their manufacturing. In this case, energy everywhere has gone up dramatically, so you are still on a par competitively.

Sanjari - Phoenix Contact: The growth in our line of UPS and so on, goes to show that nobody wants to have downtime. In terms of energy usage, however, I think customers want to monitor that information on their communications platform. If energy efficiency is important, then it’s important to get it from the field and into the control room.

Faber - Omron: We’ve seen growth in our variable frequency drives and which could be tied to rising energy prices. But if people are involved in plant closings and figuring out how to readjust, the last thing they’re going to think about is installing VFD’s to save electricity. In terms of product selection, this is something company’s like ours need to educate our customers on. Similarly, if you look at motors, steppers are typically at 100 percent current all the time, whereas servos draw power on demand, so there is cost savings there as well. There are some companies out there that are already in the process of implement-ing these solutions, but many are not and this is where product vendors must educate on the bottom line cost saving benefits.

Ottenhof - Beckhoff: We haven’t seen any direct impact in as much as it being reflected in customer specifications ... yet. However, it has been and remains a significant design guideline for new product development. So, for us, it’s a “push” rather than a “pull” conversation with a customer. Through innovative motor designs, we have seen an increase in motor torque for a given drive input current. Also, on the software side, control modes and algorithms lead to a conservation of energy through simply making the motion profile more efficient. Wasted motion is wasted energy.

DE: Following industrial malware attacks like Stuxnet and Flame, do you foresee industrial network security becoming an important issue for the industry?

Buckley - Motion Canada: It depends on where the automation is going. In the industrial market in Canada, especially in Ontario, 72 percent of that market is automotive. That’s not a market that is going to be worried about that. If you were involved in the production of military products, like L3 or another company like that, it would be a huge concern. It all depends on the mar-ket you’re living in.

Sanjari - Phoenix Contact: Virus attacks and malware may not be something most companies are concerned about. However, there is general network security software that not only creates firewalls and restrict access but also establishes secure VPN tunnels for remote applications. For example, a customer who builds a machine and ships it to China wants to troubleshoot that product over the Internet. So creating that secure tunnel is something he is more interested in than always having a product that is constantly filtering intrusions. Bigger companies may want to go further but that’s one or two percent of the market.

Faber - Omron: Every plant or facility should have some level of network security. At Omron, we look at probability and impact to assess risk. Where these problems hit have been in large pro-cess plants where the impact is much higher than in discrete manufacturing. If somebody hacks into your packaging machine, how much damage will that really do? Unless the process is high impact, like a nuclear reactor, this could be more a distraction. To reduce probability of occurrence, we have implemented a few key things, starting with keeping the information and the control

networks separate. We’re also not an industrial PC so there is less threat in hacking into a known platform. Lastly, to help protect intellectual property, our Machine Automation Control-ler has built-in 32-digit encryption of the application code.

Ottenhof - Beckhoff: We’re a PC-based control supplier, so you would have to think that this is a significant concern for us, and it is on a customer-by-customer basis. However, we have to consider this on two fronts: On the field side and the controller side. Today, many, if not most, fieldbuses in new applications use an Ethernet-based or derived network such as EtherCAT, Pro-finet, Ethernet/IP, etc. that are virtually immune to threat since, among other things, they don’t use a traditional TCP/IP stack.

However, the PC controller (or PAC) with a Windows operating system is natively at risk to infection. So the question becomes, how to protect the integrity and performance of the system.

Perhaps the biggest risk is unintentional sabotage caused by an infected USB drive that renders the IT firewall useless. Our perspective, and that of many IT security professionals, is that the IT and Production groups within an organization need to work in tandem to ensure everyone practices safe computing, no matter where the computer is located. The best way to protect a natively vulnerable system is with proper practices regularly updated and stringently enforced. Having said all that, the num-ber of incidents of malware affecting industrial control systems is, by all reports, very small. DE

The advantages of using digital rotary servo motors in indus-trial applications are well-established. When compared to

alternatives, the servo clearly provides superior positioning accuracy, combined with unbeatable speed and impressive torque in an ever-decreasing frame size. Innovative winding techniques and insulation reduction increase the amount of “active” copper in motors, which in turn increase torque by 25 to 30 percent compared to earlier generations of motors.

On the drive side, modern compact drives facilitate control of multiple axes in a single, compact package with impressive features including integrated safety along with ultra high speed communication to the motion controller or Industrial PC.

The major trends point toward increased performance, simplified connectivity, reduced complexity, and surprisingly lower cost-per-axis. When combined with a gear box and transmission (belt, screw, etc), the rotary servo axis can pro-vide the underpinnings of a flexible and cost-effective, multi-axis transport and positioning system. When creatively designed and thoughtfully integrated into machine control, the overall effect is that OEMs and integrators today can deliver machines of all types with superior performance, flexibility and maintainability at reduced cost.

Sometimes the linear servo is a good alternative solution for transporting and positioning tasks. The linear servo is sometimes described as a rotary servo motor in which the magnet core of a servo motor is “laid flat” and separated from the coil into distinct parts. The coil rides on a bearing-mounted carrier and positioned a millimeter or so “above” the magnet rail. Cables from the coil unit connect to conventional servo amplifiers/drives. The linear servo enables the movement of multiple product carriers simul-taneously on the same magnet rail. Special software handles collision avoidance and independent control of each coil unit. The coil units normally share a common scale encoder mounted alongside the magnet rail. The linear servo provides a highly dynamic and flexible positioning system.

Linear motion evolvedIt’s clear that digital servos (rotary and linear) are well estab-lished today. Of course, companies in the technology-driven automation industry must constantly innovate to remain competitive. With this in mind, the natural question is what’s next for servo technology? What will a next generation trans-port system look like and what can it do for the machine builder/integrator striving for a technology-based advantage over others in the marketplace?

In April 2012, Beckhoff Automation introduced the eXtended Transport System (XTS) at Hannover Fair in Germany as one attempt to answer that question. The advances made possible by XTS are significant because the traditional rotary servos are limited for positioning tasks because of the complex mechanics involved and the inability to provide multiple devices or compo-nent positioning on a single mechanical transport. Likewise, with a traditional linear motor, only a single direction can be imple-mented and the number of carriers on a single magnet rail is low due to cabling issues and software complexity.

Driving circles around traditional linear motionBeckhoff XTS provides the means to eliminate these restrictions. Essentially, XTS is a linear motor application in which the servo drive is built into the mechanical rail system that carries the load (e.g. product or device). There are no external drives and no cables between the “coil units” and the drive. The only connections to the rail system are the integrated EtherCAT network connection and a 48 VDC power supply.

Various track geometries can be created by simply clicking together straight and curved motor modules. A basic configura-tion would be an oval of any length consisting of the quantity of straight sections required, combined with quantity 2 x 180 degree curve sections. The 45 degree curved motor modules allow many different “track” configurations. Think of that slot car track you had as a kid and you will get the basic idea. Connected to the motor modules are the associated guide rails. The guide rails provide the mechanical strength of the system and a means to carry the “mover” modules.

The mover is the permanent magnet unit similar to the magnet rail in a conventional linear motor application. The mover includes an encoder “flag” extending below the mover’s mechanics. The flag picks up the absolute position of the mover by means of a magnetic encoding system built into the motor module. There is no theoretical limit to the number of carriers that can be simultaneously mounted and individually con-trolled. Of course, an important consideration here is that the more carriers you have, the more processing power is needed to provide control to the individual movers.

The XTS propulsion system is similar to a tra-ditional linear motor. A travelling fi eld is created by supplying the coils in the individual motor modules (i.e. rail) with current. This moving magnetic fi eld “takes hold of” the permanent magnets of the mover as it moves. The current in the coil of each mover is intelligently controlled. The current level determines the amount of force available to the mover.

As indicated earlier, the only connection to the PC-based controller in the XTS system is handled via the standard EtherCAT network. The number of network connections required is determined by the quantity of movers and the complexity of the positioning task. EtherCAT provides the ultra high-speed closed-loop control required to excite the coil sections and precisely pick up the position of the many individual movers that can be confi gured in an application.

The actual motion profi le of each mover is pro-grammed using Beckhoff ’s standard TwinCAT 3 PC-based software platform, which can also be used for all required automation, motion control, PLC and HMI functions on the machine. This PC-based motion controller provides the pro-fi les for each XTS mover. Speed, direction and force are individually controlled with great precision. Movers can move

in unison or in groups and, of course, can be stopped and started as required.

ApplicationsThe XTS is intended to provide posi-tioning and transport capability in a wide variety of applications. This technology is particularly well-suited to packaging applications where product spacing and fl ow is a chal-lenge. With each individually-con-trolled mover, the packaging of

random or irregular spaced product is greatly simplifi ed.

While not a completely new concept in terms of transport systems, the XTS

system from Beckhoff Automation provides the ability to create an entirely custom transport

system confi guration with a very small footprint at costs that are considerably lower than previous generations

of linear transport. DEwww.beckhoff.ca/xts

By Colin Plastow

In troubleshooting situations involving a motor, more than half the battle is

simply isolating the problem. Whenever there’s a working motor, there’s a load and there’s some sort of motor control-ler, which is increasingly going to be an adjustable speed drive (ASD).

So when problems arise, how can you tell if it is the drive, the motor or the load? Here are a few tips to tackle the problem in a quick, systematic way, mak-ing a few key measurements as you go.

Imbalance Measurements A good place to start is with a measure-ment of current drawn by the motor. When we talk about motors here, we are referring to three-phase induction motors, the workhorse of industry.

Motors are balanced loads: The cur-rent they draw on each phase should be about the same with less than 6 percent as measured below being a general guide line for conventional, across-the-line motors. If they are not balanced, the cause could be internal to the motor (deteriorating stator insulation, for example), or it could be the result of voltage imbalance. A small voltage imbalance will cause a significantly larger current imbalance.

In the case of a ASD, the output voltages are electronically controlled and should be well balanced if the drive is functioning correctly. So, if there is any problem with current imbalance, compare the voltage imbalance at the output of the drive to that at the motor. A difference suggests a problem in the wiring, connections, etc. between the drive and motor. If the voltage balance at the motor is good, a problem with the motor would be suspected. The voltage output waveform from an ASD is a sequence of pulses that has significant high frequency content. Accurate measure-ments usually require a DMM with a suitable low pass filter function.

Voltage and current imbalance mea-surements should be taken at the line side of the drive. Drives are generally not as sensitive to voltage imbalance as motors, since the incoming AC is rectified to DC which charges the capacitors on the DC bus. Voltage imbalance will usually show as a somewhat higher ripple voltage that most drives tolerate quite well. In fact, many drives will operate with a phase missing albeit with a severely de-rated (about 50 percent) load.

Over-voltage and Under-voltage Drives have diagnostic codes that iden-tify the cause of trip. Generally speaking, they can be classified as over-voltage, under-voltage or overload (over-cur-rent). Note that mechanical starters only have overload trips; they’re not con-cerned with over- or under-voltage.

Drives turn sine wave AC into DC (converter section), and then turn the DC back into AC (inverter section). However, the AC at the output is not a sine wave. It’s a special waveform known as the pulse-width modulated (PWM). The PWM, from the motor’s point of view, is accepted as if it were a sine wave — almost.

For now, though, let’s focus on the drive internals, specifically on what’s commonly referred to as the DC link. The DC link is nothing more than a capacitor bank, usually with a series link inductor (reactor) thrown in for filtering and protection. The DC link is carefully monitored by the drive; over-voltage or under-voltage refers to the voltage of the DC link. Under-voltage can be caused externally by voltage sags on the drive input. The Sags and Swells function on power quality analyzers can help identify line-related under-voltage problems occurring over time.

Problems could also exist internally with the DC link capacitors and/or reac-tor. In many drives, there are external test points to measure the DC link volt-age. To check the voltage variations on the capacitors, use the min/max function of a digital multimeter or a power qual-ity analyzer.

Check if voltage regulation is within the manufacturer’s specification. When troubleshooting a complete system, the tendency is to view the drive or PLC as the most susceptible to voltage sags. However, studies have shown that low cost ice-cube control relays are often the source of sag-related problems as they’re the first to drop out when voltage drops off. So don’t forget to look at any external control circuit while you’re troubleshoot-ing intermittent system shutdowns.

Over-voltage could be caused by line-related voltage transients. At one point, utility capacitor switching transients were notorious for causing over-voltage trips in drives. Over-voltage could also be caused by regenerative loads. Loads such as cranes and elevators generate voltage when they decelerate. Dynamic braking circuits are installed to shunt off this energy from the drive, where

Is it the Drive, the Motor or the Load?Diagnosing tricky motor trouble requires a close inspection of power loads.

they would otherwise be rectifi ed by the output devices of the drive and show up as over-voltage on the DC link. Problems such as improper installation can result in over-voltage trips.

Load Profi ling To troubleshoot the interaction between the load and the motor, you have to understand the relationship between torque and current. In essence, motor is a device to turn electrical energy (current) into rotational mechanical energy (torque), via the magical effects of magnetism.

What a load demands of a motor is torque. For all practical purposes, this torque is directly proportional to current used by the motor.

This should make perfect sense, because we all know that for constant-speed motors—which include all motors with electro-mechanic start-ers—voltage is, or should be, stable and current is the variable.

When a load demands more torque and current than a motor can supply, the result is an overload condition. Overload-ing will cause overheating of the motor. Motor controllers will shut down the motor (and thereby the load) rather than allow permanent winding insulation.

Overloading is always relative to time: A high overload will trip the motor in a short time, while a lower level of overload will take longer to trip the motor.

When we want to evaluate the impact of a load on the motor drive system, we have to measure the current it draws. Of course, this current draw typically var-ies over time as the load varies. The

measurement of current over some period of time is called load profi ling.

For load profi ling, the power-record function of power quality analyzers is ideal for capturing a trend line of current consumption. A cursor enables you to identify the current values at different points on the trend line, along with a time stamp for those points.

Before load profi ling, fi rst make the current imbalance measurement to make sure the motor is healthy. If you don’t have a 3-phase instrument and your concern is nuisance tripping, then pick the highest current leg and measure that (an overload on one leg will trip all three legs).

When load profi ling, we are looking for periods of especially high current, relative to the full load amps of the motor. Full load amp information is available on the nameplate of the motor. If there is a service factor, the range calculation should be made on the basis of full load amps multiplied by service factor. While high current is the main concern, low current should also be investigated.

A motor is most effi cient, and has the best power factor, in the 60 to 80 percent range of its full load amps. There is no immediate penalty for under-loading — the motor will not trip. In fact, many motors are routinely oversized for the load, on the theory that the motor is less likely to trip from overload.

However, as is most often the case, there is no free lunch. In the case of under-loading an across-the-line motor, the power factor will be poor and the energy company sends a higher bill. An ASD isolates the power system from the effects of a lightly loaded motor.

To determine whether it’s the load, the motor or the drive that is causing problems, it helps to proceed system-atically. Start with the basic motor measurements (imbalance) to check the health of the motor itself. Then do some simple drive measurements to check for causes of over- or under-voltage trips. Finally, profi le the load to fi nd the cause for intermittent overload trips. DE

EtherNet/IP I/O AdaptersRockwell Automation intro-duced its Allen-Bradley FLEX I/O dual-port EtherNet/IP adapters that support a device-level ring (DLR) topol-ogy (connected at the end device versus the switch). The ring adds a measure of redundancy in that a single

network failure, such as a cable break, will not lead to the failure of the other devices in the ring. It can also recover in less than 3 milliseconds for a 50-node system. The adapters also support the daisy-chain topology for applications that involve devices located long distances from CPU subsystems. The adapters (1794-

AENTR and 1794-AENTRXT for extreme environments) are compatible with these Rockwell Software products: RSLogix 5000 programming software version 16 and higher and RSLinx version 2.58 and higher. The adapters also can connect up to eight FLEX I/O modules.http://ab.rockwellautomation.com

Linear Roller GuidesTschudin & Heid introduced its linear roller cages and guides that allow the displacement of moving parts in an axial direction through the use of parallel shafts and sleeves. The use of special “rollers” instead of balls results in line contact with the guide rather than point contact as with ball-type guides, which restricts any radial movement. Because of this line contact, pre-load at assembly can be kept low, which produces

ing operation and boosting misalignment capabilities and torque ratings, the company says. The disc coupling doesn’t require periodic lubrication since they do not have relative movement between mating surfaces. In addition, the coupling offers a large hub option that increases the max bore capability in applications where the coupling size is driven by the shaft diameter instead of the torque requirement.www.baldor.com

Ball ScrewsSteinmeyer, Inc. introduced a new design to the ball return for its UltraSpeed line of preci-sion ball screws. The design is based on a new ball return sys-tem that uses precision ball deflectors to guide the balls into a return channel spanning the whole nut length. The deflectors are precision milled and utilize a geometry that minimizes friction. The ballscrew series is available in nominal diameters from 32 mm to 100 mm, and enable speed ratings up to and beyond dN=160,000. With lead-to-diameter ratios from 0.5:1 to 1:1, linear velocities of 4,000 inches per minute are possible at accel-erations of 2 g’s and higher. www.steinmeyer.com

Jaw CouplingsRuland introduced its zero back-lash jaw couplings for machine vision systems that reduce set-tling time and shock loads, the company says. The couplings’ three-piece design is comprised of two aluminum hubs and an elastomer element called the “spider.” Available in three durometers, the spider allows the user to adjust the coupling’s torsional stiffness, misalignment, and dampening requirements. For added customization, metric and inch hubs (set screw, clamp style, keyed, or keyless) are interchangeable and can be combined into a single coupling. The couplings feature a curved profile which concentrates the forces to the center of the spider’s limbs. Raised contact points help maintain proper spacing between the two hubs, assuring electrical isolation and full angular misalignment capabilities.www.ruland.com

Ultra-slim Motor and EncoderMaxon has equiped its EC 90 flat motor with its Inductive Little

Encoder (MILE), the world’s smallest inductive rotary encoder. Its operating principle is based on the detection of high-frequency inductivity, which generates eddy current in an electrically conducting target. The advantage of a high-frequency inductive method of measurement includes high speed, high robustness towards dust or oil vapor and insensitivity against interfer-

ence pulses such as PWM controllers or motor magnets. The EC

90 flat MILE is capable of resolutions of up to 3200 impulses per turn and a nominal torque of 517 mNm. According to the com-pany, the component is best suited for applications such as door drives, logistic robots or solar trackers.www.maxonmotorusa.com
