ppma matters
Even techno-geeks still
want to kick the tyres…
In a world so dominated by digital
media where even our everyday
high street shopping can be
undertaken in front of a PC; have
you ever wondered why car
dealers still go to so much trouble
to invest in glossy showrooms?
My question is, of course,
rhetorical – anyone who has
parted with their hard earned cash
and bought what is invariably a
hideously expensive new car will
know exactly why car dealers go
to so much trouble. It is because
despite all of our advanced digital technology, (of which I am a
great fan), we are still not prepared to purchase such an
expensive and sophisticated piece of technology without actually
seeing it in the flesh, sitting in it and taking it for a test-drive.
Many consumers are still averse to buying even a simple item
such as a vegetable over the internet because they cannot see it
and check it for quality. The reasons for this common sense
approach are more complex than might at first seem to be the
case. It’s not only that the technology can’t emulate the real life
buying experience but it is also about trust and confidence.
The relevance of this interesting discussion is that June the 4th
will see this year’s Total Processing & Packaging Show at the
NEC, Birmingham open for its three-day run.
Now and then we are approached by software houses
declaring the death of exhibitions in favour of new ‘digital
experiences’ where we can sit at our PCs and walk around a
virtual exhibition (often at some considerable expense), and
select our purchases without even leaving our desks. Such naïve
optimism is astonishing. Even an ‘early adopting techno-geek’ like
myself can see that such software cannot begin to emulate the
real experience and only a very foolhardy purchaser would
actually undertake a new product review or heaven-forbid; make
a purchase, without actually seeing the machine and at least
meeting the supplier.
As I have stated many times, as a visitor with a need to learn
about the latest products and perhaps even make a purchase,
where else can you go and see all of the major suppliers and
products under one roof in one or maybe a couple of days? The
answer is, of course – at a real-life exhibition.
I look forward to seeing all of you, exhibitors and visitors alike,
at the Total exhibition in June. Would you honestly buy a new car
over the web without even seeing it…? I don’t think so!
We all, very sensibly, still want to kick the tyres and look the
salesperson in the eye.

Improving first
quarter figures
Mechanical engineering
firms say positive March
enquiry and order levels
contributed to a better first
quarter than the final quarter
2012 in the Engineering and
Machinery Alliance’s (EAMA)
Business Monitor.
According to the threemonth
running average
balances, enquiry levels are
up +17 for UK and +14% for
export business compared
with February averages of
+14 and +11 respectively.
The three-month running
averages for orders were
significantly better than
February’s results.
“These are promising
results and reflect how many
companies are working hard
to compete internationally in
all markets, not just in Europe
and the USA,” says EAMA
chairman Martin Walder.
“Of course we mustn’t go
too far, but given the general
mood in the media, the
disappointing manufacturing
numbers ONS announced
recently and the erratic
weather we’ve had over the
last few months, here are at
least a few signs that
something more sustainable
could be building in the UK’s
zigzag recovery.
But companies remain
generally cautious as can be
seen in two areas in the
Monitor – on jobs and on
investment.
According to the March
Monitor only one in seven
companies plan to increase
their employment numbers,
while on investment, over
half (53%) of firms say
they’re not spending,
although they may have
deferred plans or be
developing projects.
Unfortunately the news on
access to finance is little
changed.
A systems partnership
brings many benefits
SCM Handling has entered
into a systems partner
agreement with Kuka Robotics
UK having worked closely with
the company for many years
as an affiliate, and with much
success.
For instance, SCM Handling
has recently developed a
special robot gripper tool to
handle stacking plastic crates
with bale arms using
equipment from Kuka.
The task presented to SCM
was to design a robot based
system to pick crates from a
conveyor and stack them onto
pallets with the additional
challenge of picking an empty
pallet from a stack and placing
this onto the palletised crates
where required. For example,
four layers of crates on a pallet,
then another pallet, then four
further layers of crates.
This enables the retail
customer to load crates in its
RDC in a way that means the
pallet load can easily be
divided into ‘part pallet loads’
for delivery to its supermarket
stores.
The crates are delivered to
the robot pick point as required
for the order to be dispatched
and this is controlled by the
RDCs order picking/dispatch
software system.
SCM worked with its partner
Kuka Robotics and used a
Kuka KR120 R3200 Quantec
robot at the heart of the
system to achieve the correct
combination of payload and
reach required.
“This system further adds to
the proven designs that are
available from SCM Handling,”
explains Phil Cooper, technical
sales manager for SCM
Handling. “We supply more
and more complete automated
unit load handling systems for
the food industry.”
General sales manager at
Kuka Robotics UK Ian Walker
believes the partnership will
continue to grow in the coming
years. “SCM Handling
provides well engineered
solutions that meet the
expectations of the end user
and consistently show
innovative solutions to the
specific issues faced by
manufacturers today,” he says.

This new MELFA F-Series robot from Mitsubishi Electric is designed to be flexible, fast and food safe
The new MELFA F-Series
robots from Mitsubishi
Electric are designed to be
flexible, fast, functional and
food safe and as such, they
are expected to open up
many new fields of usage.
Based on a new
mechanical design, the
MELFA F-Series
robots are
extremely flexible
and able to reach
a far greater
working area than
other robots, says
the company, as
they can even
reach round and
behind their own
base. Its compact
design allows the
robot to work in
confined spaces and they
can be floor, wall or ceiling
mounted.
The robots incorporate
Mitsubishi Electric servo
motors developed especially
for the F-Series, a powerful
new controller and high
spec components. They are
thus able to maintain fast
cycle times and high
positioning accuracy, for
www.machineryupdate.co.uk
improved productivity and
offer a cycle time for a
12 inch movement of
0.29 seconds.
The F-Series robots come
with their cabling fully
enclosed right to the end of
the spindle for total
protection and safety.
The F-Series meets the need for automation in the
food and drink sector, says Mitsubishi Electric
The cabling includes
pneumatic tubing and I/O for
hand control, as well as
CAT5 Ethernet cabling
allowing for easy installation
of vision systems or other
Ethernet devices such as
sensors, cameras, and
additional axis controllers.
When it comes to
integration, the F-Series
controllers can be used as
standalone devices or
embedded into the powerful
Mitsubishi Electric iQ PLC
rack. Supporting up to three
robots on one rack allows
the system to share data,
thus enabling features such
as automatic collision
avoidance and cooperative
control. The
cooperative function
gives manipulation of
the same workspace
which is perfect for
joining two parts
together or lifting
elongated parts.
The F-Series
robots can also
support up to eight
additional servo
axes. This gives them
useful additional
abilities, for instance they
can be mounted onto a
linear slide so that one robot
can tender two or more work
stations.
Commissioning is via a
standard PC and is quick
and easy using the RT
ToolBox2 software.

Alarm module
for gas mixer
Witt has developed an
advanced solution for
monitoring the gas pressure in
gas mixing systems.
Called NXT+, this new alarm
module monitors the gas
pressures at the inputs of the
gas mixer and in the mixing
gas vessel to ensure a
constant process quality.
Witt mixers work with a high
pressure fluctuation tolerance
and provide precise gas
mixtures even at different input
pressures. However, major
irregularities in the gas supply
can occur and in this case,
only alarm modules such as
the NXT+ provide protection
against any unwanted gas
mixtures resulting in expensive
production failures.
The system not only
receives signals from the input
pressure monitors integrated in
the mixers, it also monitors the
pressure in the mixing gas
vessel. In this way, the entire
process remains under control
centrally, from the gas input to
the mixing gas output.
This new alarm module is
also available as a retrofit.

New lid design is a
sustainable option
One of the highlights of
Sealpac’s stand at the IFFA
exhibition in Germany this
May was the EasyLid
system that is designed to
provide full lid functionality
without requiring a traditional
snap-on lid.
EasyLid is a joint
development between
Sealpac in Germany and
Naber Plastics in the
Netherlands. It combines a
special and patented injection
moulded tray with special tray
sealing technology, resulting
in a secure seal. The
preformed tray has a common
peelable sealing edge, as well
as an additional ring. This
achieves a hermetic seal
while providing peelability
The double sealing technology
This A7 traysealer from
Sealpac handles the new
EasyLid concept
and reclosability.
The EasyLid system is
suitable for both hot and cold
filling as well as for modified
atmosphere packaging. It can
be used for meat spreads,
convenience products, olives,
pickles and salads.
Because sealing and lidding
is performed in one single step,
significant savings are made
on packaging materials,
transport and storage costs.
Because a secondary lidding
process is not required,
additional savings are made on
personnel costs and/or lidding
systems. This also means the
production line can have a
significantly smaller footprint.
EasyLid runs on all of
Sealpac’s fully automated
A-series traysealers at outputs
of up to 160 packs a minute
depending on the application.
This new system was one of
the many on show that are all
designed to help the meat
sector keep operating costs
under control. An ‘all-in-one’
thermoformer line with a frame
length of just eight metres but
one that can handle flexible
film, vacuum, rigid film, MAP,
skin and shrink options was
also demonstrated.

Efficient coffee line
Cama has developed a special
line for fellow Italian company
Caffita to handle its tailor made
coffee capsules efficiently.
“We prepare coffee that is
appreciated worldwide because
we adapt our capsules to suit
the taste in each country,”
explains Andrea Clementini,
ceo of Caffita System. The
company had its first
production site in Bologna
before opening another site in
Milan a few years later. Various
research and development
programmes led to the creation
of their combined semi-open
system comprising both
machines and capsules that
are designed to combine
innovative technology with
attractive design.
And this attention to detail
extends to its quality standards
for manufacturing
and packaging.
“We are particularly keen on
guaranteeing top quality
standards for processing and
packaging our capsules,”
explains maintenance &
technologies director Giovanni
Accursi. “When the time came
to select a partner for
secondary packaging, we
chose the Cama Group for their
experience in the specific niche
of coffee capsules.”
So far, eight lines have been
installed by Cama in Caffita
facilities. Each feature a
compact layout to comply with
space requirements along with
flexible product configuration
for the various formats
required. These monobloc
solutions provide for high
speed, customised packaging
throughout the group.

Kern equipment brings. “We
believe there’s a huge market
for our unique recipe and
natural, additive and nitratefree

represents an increase in
throughput of 20% across all
packaging formats. At the same
time, the accuracy of the
weigher means product
giveaway is very low – just 1.5g

Units handle
plastics easily
TH Plastics has won a
contract to deliver a new
Moretto materials handling
system for plastics packaging
company Kobusch at its
County Durham-based site.
Specialising in co-extrusion
and thermoforming for rigid
packaging for the food industry,
Kobusch required a system
encompassing a blender that
could effectively handle two
tons of regrind flake per hour.
TH Plastics worked with
Moretto to identify a tailormade
solution which included one of
the largest batch blenders sold
in Europe – the DGM1000,
special flake loaders designed
to work with difficult to flow
regrind flake, a Eureka drying
system for the virgin PET and a
supervisory system to monitor
all the equipment.
Project manager at
Kobusch Crawford Fleming
says TH Plastics has put
together a cost effective
solution to meet its specific
requirements. “The systems
work seamlessly together
and we’ve been able to
achieve optimum levels of
over three tons of flake
material per hour, which we’re
extremely pleased with,” he
says. “The three year service
plan that was included with
the ancillary solution has also
given us peace of mind and
we’re delighted with the
results so far.”

PPMA finder service
finds simple solution
Machine design and
automation company Notio
has completed a project for
Castalum to feed inserts into
an aluminium die casting cell
which all came about through
the PPMA Machinery Finder
Service. Midlands-based
company Castalum were
introduced to Notio through this
service and the project was
completed in twelve weeks.
Castalum was looking to
reconfigure an existing cell
and robot to suit the
manufacture of a new casting.
It needed a system to transfer
casting inserts from a
convenient operator loading
position outside the cell guard
to an exacting position that
allowed the robot to pick them
up before placing them in the
mould tool.
In many ways, says Notio,
this was a straightforward
application, but the challenge
was to design it to fit within
the very limited space
available around the die
casting machine and to
deliver the inserts through a

a narrow gap at Castalum
narrow gap between other
existing items of plant.
Notio designed and built the
system incorporating a
FlexLink conveyor which was
configured to run through the
narrow gap. A custom
designed puck is used to carry
the inserts on the free flowing
conveyor which allows the
conveyor to act as a buffer.
This means the system can
run unattended for about
20 minutes.
A number of stops sequence
the pucks along the conveyor
to limit the back pressure. A
compact pick and place unit
then transfers the inserts to an
accurate holding fixture where
they are aligned for collection
by the robot.
“This was a fairly harsh
environment so the conveyor
and all key components were
selected to provide an
appropriate level of durability,”
explains Rod Mitchell,
technical director for Notio.
“This was the first time we
have supplied a solution to a
foundry environment and so
was an interesting challenge.
“We worked closely with
Castalum to ensure that we
delivered a solution that
worked for them, for
example we incorporated an
Allen Bradley control system
that they were familiar with
and already carried spare
parts for.”

Automation boost for beer
Celebrating its 70th birthday
this year, Edwin Holden’s
Bottling Company has
maintained its heritage while at
the same time investing in the
latest automation technology.
Flexibility and quality are the
two core elements of Holden’s
production that attract
breweries throughout the UK
to its bottling services. A
complete rethink of how the
business operates has seen
investment over the past two
years in labelling machinery,
conveyors, packaging
machinery and more recently,
in a palletising robot at the end
of the processing line.
Kawasaki Robotics UK was
selected after trials were
carried out on all container
types to be palletised. “We fill
five bottle types and pack into
eight different size cartons
varying in weight from 6kgs to
13kgs so the system design
needed to allow for flexibility
and fast programme
changeovers to allow handling
of over 30 tonnes per day,”
explains production manager
Mark Hammond.
The palletising system
comprises an input area for the
cartons of beer bottles, a
Kawasaki FD-50N palletising
robot and a pallet positioning
area. Pallets are manually
positioned into the guarded area
of the robot cell and the robot
accurately positions cartons in a
pre-programmed pattern.
A cardboard separator is
positioned by the robot onto
the top of each layer when
complete and full pallets are
removed manually before the

The tools that build
energy efficiency
All engineering operators are looking for opportunities to implement more costeffective
measures that will save energy, carbon and money. Energy efficiency is by
far the cheapest way of addressing any organisation’s energy security and supply
issues but such measures are often ignored because they seem to have a longer
payback period than can be justified. The truth, however, is that upgrading
components such as gearboxes, drives, couplings and motors can create huge
savings. Identifying areas where equipment can profitably be replaced with the latest,
more efficient versions, such as IE3 variable speed motors, can increase both
performance and efficiency.
The remarkable achievements made in increasing the efficiency of such components
are impressive, especially considering the challenges posed by aggressive operating
environments. Even in applications where gearboxes, drive motors, couplings and
chains must be specified to withstand extreme loads, shock, and contamination from dust, debris and glass, plus widely
varying temperatures and, in many instances, infrequent maintenance, energy efficiency can be significantly enhanced.
One powerful way to improve efficiency is to fit a variable speed drive, which
will not only save energy but also reduce shock loading on belts with features
such as ‘soft start’ and programmable ramp times, minimising both
maintenance and operating costs. Using a Fenner QD Inverter, for instance,
to vary the speed of an electric motor can deliver significant energy- and
cost-savings.
When it comes to repairing or replacing a motor ERIKS has developed an
extremely effective online tool that enables engineers to make an objective,
cost-effective decision by working out the best option based on total cost of
ownership. The ERIKS Online TCO Calculator uses data relating to your current
motor to calculate key statistics, such as annual running cost, carbon footprint,
energy usage in kilowatt hours, and so on. The user can then view the total cost
of ownership for the year, or for fifteen years, or any period of years in between.
The results provided by the calculator will list and compare the cost of repairing and running your existing motor, replacing
it with a standard IE2 motor, or replacing it with an energy-efficient IE3 motor.
Meanwhile, the latest wave of robust, high performance belts,
provide long-lasting, efficient, cost-effective solutions for typical
applications. For example, a high performance v or wedge belt
can offer an efficiency of around 93% at installation, while
Cogged Raw Edge (CRE) belts offer 94%. Synchronous belt
drives such as the Fenner Torque Drive Plus 3 (TDP3) are even
more efficient, delivering a level of approximately 96%
efficiency maintained over a wide load range.
With energy prices still on the rise, tightening restrictions on
carbon emissions and concern for the bottom line in every
business, there has never been a better time to put energy
efficiency at the top of the agenda. With lasting benefits for the
environment, the current crop of new and enhanced
components offers a veritable armoury of tools with which to
boost energy efficiency.

Harnessing young talent
is key to sector’s future
National Apprenticeship Week was described as the most successful ever, with a record number of events and activities
taking place, but how does the sector attract more young people to work in the business?
During this year’s National
Apprenticeship Week,
companies pledged to recruit
over 13,600 new apprentices,
excluding the 10,000 Bridges
into Work places made
available through a new
Barclays initiative. Next year’s
event will take place between
3-7 March, 2014.
These numbers follow on
from excellent figures released
by Semta, the sector skills
council for science, engineering
and advanced manufacturing at
the start of the year. The figures
showed that apprenticeship
starts in engineering and
advanced manufacturing had
increased by more than 85% in
the past two years.
Semta chief executive Sarah
Sillars said while the figures
showed the ambition was on
track there was no room for
complacency. She still fears
there will be a lost generation
and missed opportunities for
British business if the
momentum is not maintained.
Wallace Hind
Tony Moroney from Wallace
Hind Selection says that as a
recruiter, he is often asked to
recruit technical staff across all
disciplines but that there is one
thing that virtually all
companies have in common:
that they recruit only when they
need someone. This could be
because of a resignation or
workload increases, rather than
having a contingency, or
succession plan in place. “And
they nearly always dismiss
young talent,” he adds.
“Of the companies that do
consider tapping into the
younger talent pool, few have
clear graduate or trainee
programmes in place, which is
key to attracting these
individuals,” he continues. “It is
no longer acceptable to adopt
the attitude that they ‘should be
grateful for a job’ and they start
out making the tea.”
Investment
It is fair to say that SMEs are
not as well placed as the larger
corporate sector when it comes
to setting investment aside for
young people, however some
clear thought and planning can
make their offering as attractive
as some of the large blue-chip
corporates, he says.
Here are some things he
thinks employers should
consider when looking to recruit
young people:
l Salary expectations: A
graduate will expect a salary
of about £24,000
l Training: There should be a
clearly defined programme
in place so that young
people can see some
progression and feel that
they are valued
l Progression: Where and
when can they expect to
progress and what does that
progression look like?
l Value: You must value these
young people as assets to
your business
l Timing: Most companies
who have a Graduate
Programme in place will
start recruiting in January,
before individuals graduate,
and make offers dependent
on grades.
Busch UK worked with students on the Busch Make It Engineering
Challenge to promote careers in manufacturing and engineering
“The consequences of not
encouraging young people into
engineering careers are that
R&D will migrate overseas and
the talent pool will diminish
further,” he warns.
PPMA chairman and md of
the Jenton Group Richard
Little believes that recruiting
young people direct from
universities is a good way of
getting around legislation
restrictions of targeting a
particular group. “Recruit there
and there’s a fair chance that
the people you recruit are in
their early twenties,” he says.
Solent University
In recent years, Jenton has
recruited graduates by ‘fishing’
for good ones at Solent
University, an educational
establishment that runs
practical courses and is geared
towards maximising graduate
employability. Little helps to run
an invention group at the
college and consequently has
got to know several of the
lecturers in the maritime and
technology faculty.
Every year, the college has a
project day where third year
students present their final
engineering and technology
work. “Visiting this open day is a
great way to find out which
students have lovingly spent all
year on their projects or have
just panicked and only spent
three weeks on it,” says Little.
This is, in many ways, better
than an interview and we now
have three members of staff
recruited in this way who are all
still with us and are excellent.”
Little believes that getting to
know a local university can be
a win-win opportunity for SMEs
as they can sponsor projects or
get involved with the students
work to, with any luck, recruit
the good ones.

fresh produce
Single serve produce is
growing in popularity
The trend for single serve packaging was much in evidence at Fruit Logistica, the leading event for the fresh produce trade in
February, but how does this work with the drive for sustainable packaging? Machinery Update reports
More than 58,000 trade visitors from
130 countries came to learn more about
products and services spanning the entire
fresh produce value chain and to gain a
global overview of the market at Fruit
Logistica in Berlin this February. And
overall, visitors were looking for
performance, simplicity and flexibility for
their respective production lines as well as
speed and efficiency (which is key to this
sector as products are generally perishable
and need to be processed a lot quicker
than processed foods).
One exhibitor at the event was
integrated food packaging solutions
company tna (www.tnasolutions.com)
and its marketing manager Shayne de la
Force believes that for many fresh
produce retailers, single serve packs are
a lot easier to display and they can take
advantage of the visual appeal of fresh
produce. While at the same time, they
also respond to consumer demand for
more convenience and greater visibility.
Product quality
“Consumers are also looking at the
quality of packaged fruit and vegetables
and will only accept the freshest and best
looking products,” he says. “For
manufacturers, this means they need
packaging and distribution systems that
will handle their produce with the highest
amount of care possible to avoid
breakages and waste.”
The key driver in this market is, of
course, the push for a healthier lifestyle
that is being seen globally. Growing
scientific evidence for the potential
nutritional benefits of fresh fruit and
vegetables along with governmental
initiatives that encourage a healthier
lifestyle are pushing the demand for fresh
produce across all of Europe.
Tony Burgess of Proseal
(www.prosealuk.com) believes that the
greater focus on healthy living, the year
round demand for fruits and the growth of
eating on the move which has led to the
introduction of snack-sized, ready-to-eat
portions have had an effect on the way
fruit is packed. At the same time, he says,
the environment has become another
important factor with fruit suppliers and
retailers increasingly demanding solutions
that support their carbon reduction targets.
“In retail markets the traditional clip on
A Kent fruit supplier has reduced product damage since installing a FlexaPac system
lid for soft fruit punnets and trays is
increasingly being replaced by a top seal,”
he says. “In terms of environmental impact,
the main advantage is that it reduces
packaging materials by as much as 33%.”
Practical benefits
However, top sealed trays bring a number
of practical benefits as well. The trays can
use pre-printed film, they look good, a
sealed lid makes the pack tamper proof but,
most importantly, it allows the use of today’s
modern tray sealers with all the
corresponding benefits of an automated
and efficient packaging process.
Technological enhancements are also
reducing energy requirements while still
maintaining high speeds.
Pre-packaged salads most common
ingredients are leaves such as lettuce,
spinach, rocket and watercress, all of
which are very light and require packaging
line modifications, says Yamato Scale
(www.yamatoscale.co.uk).
The first modification is to ensure that
steep discharge buckets are in place. As a
low-density product, salad leaves do not
flow easily so manufacturers must assist
gravity to improve the packaging process.
This includes ensuring the correct level of
vibration is present in the line to transport
the product which cannot be so fast that
the product is damaged or packaged

inconsistently, but quick enough to pack
products efficiently and accurately.
This is why the Yamato Dataweigh
Omega multihead weighing machine
includes steep sided buckets and fully
customisable vibration settings as well as
being compliant with IP67.
“With such benefits, the Omega is
capable of increasing yield by 1.5%, a
crucial improvement when you consider
the huge amount of pre-packaged salad
products now available on the market,”
says Steven Spencer, regional sales
manager at Yamato Scale.
Netted fruit
The delicate nature of netted fruit products
has always presented a challenge for
automation. This was the dilemma facing a
Kent fruit supplier who was looking to
automatically load trays with fruit, without
damaging the product while keeping up
with the production line and reducing
labour. It was basically looking to replace
its labour intensive ‘lazy Suzy’ table
concept of packing its netted fruit into trays.
“One of the key benefits in moving away
No one wants to see one of these in their bags of fresh produce when it is opened
from this manual process was to reduce
the impact damage on the fruit,” explains
packing manager Dave Slaughter.
The company consequently worked with
Pacepacker Services (www.pacepacker.com)
and installed a FlexaPac system which,
during its trial period, dramatically reduced
produce damage while making the overall
visual quality of the loaded tray better, and
more consistent, than if an operator had
handled them.
The FlexaPac system overcame
previous automation drawbacks due to the
lowering plates which gently lowered the
netted fruit onto the waiting tray rather than
picking them up while the bomb doors
overcame any gripper handling issues.
Hirani Hitesh is technical director at
metal detector supplier Lock Inspection
Systems (www.lockinspection.com) and
says that the challenging element of
inspecting fresh produce is the effect,
which is caused by moisture content
producing significant disturbance in the
metal detector coil current. “This
phenomenon known as ‘product effect’
has traditionally disrupted production
which is why our Insight range is
equipped with a special software package
to overcome this,” he says.

Target weights
in salad bowls
Dutch vegetable and fruit
processor Vezet has invested
in new equipment from longtime
partner Multipond to
weigh ready-to-eat salads
involving a bowl line in the
plant’s high-care section.
The entire line consists of
six filling points; three are
automated and three require
manual filling. The three
weighing systems include an
MP 14-3800/1250-H, 14-head
multihead weigher for weighing
the main ingredients and two
MP 10-1000/400-H, 10-head
weighers that fill the toppings.
These weighers are located
above the ceiling while funnels
were built directly into the
ceiling. Finally, a 3-track product
transfer system developed
specifically for this application
distributes the prepared
servings into the bowls.
All product contact parts
are precisely adjusted to
production requirements and
to the products being weighed
in order to render the best
product flow. Once it has
arrived at the weighing
systems, the products are first
conveyed to the prefeed
hoppers by the radially
positioned feed trays and
then to the weigh hoppers
underneath. Here, using the
partial portions, a computer
determines the combination
which corresponds to the
target weight to be achieved
or is the closest to it.
After the actual weighing
process, the precisely weighed
servings are transferred via
the outlet funnel by means
of a timing hopper to the
swivelling funnel which
distributes the portions to the
product transfer system.
Weighers are operated by
means of a user friendly
colour touch screen monitor.

Automated inspection system
Automated handling and inspection of raw
fruit and vegetables has always been a
challenge for retailers given the irregularity
of the products, possible contamination
and difficult working conditions including
moisture and high temperatures. Using
machine vision to facilitate the
inspection tasks has often been
avoided as only the most advanced
cameras could offer technology
capable of identifying raw food
products – ie size, shape and colour –
and are rugged enough to withstand
the harsh production environment.
Despite these challenges,
UK-based Design Synergy were
invited to design and install a vision
solution to measure and inspect raw
food products by a major food retailer.
Combining its experience within the
automation and electronics industries,
the team at Design Synergy has
succeeded in creating a retrofit food
inspection solution which has been
rolled out across several of the
customer’s global factories.
Working in close partnership with
vision company Cognex UK, the
solution was developed using a robust
and high performance vision system.
Following initial camera trials, IP-rated
Cognex In-Sight 5400CS cameras
were selected as suited to a factory
environment where they can be
washed down and subjected to
extremes of temperature.
For the retrofit solution, four
cameras and electronics were
supplied and implemented on each
production line to inspect raw
vegetables prior to processing. As the
items pass along four parallel
conveyors, each camera continuously
captures the required images and
extracts the vital information which is
communicated via the local area
network thus providing the operator
and management with instant analysis
of the product line.
In addition to the retrofit solution,
Design Synergy has developed a
complete food inspection system
suitable for a wide range of tasks.
Originally designed to replace time
consuming manual methods, the

Bar code verification
procedures demanded by
retailers to ensure label
legibility at every point in the
supply chain can now be
carried out automatically to
ISO standards as part of the
labelling process, using a new
high speed quality control
system being launched by print

It allows all pallet and case
labels to be verified on-line,
rather than samples taken from
a run, and the labels graded to
ISO or ANSI standards laid down
by GS1, the international bar
code standards organisation.
“Up to now verifying
instruments have required
calibration and controlled
lighting conditions such as a
QA lab could provide, so
manual sampling methods
were employed on an off-line
basis to ensure that labels
would read and avoid severe
financial penalties from
retailers,” explains Logopak
sales director Howard Jagger.
“Even so there was no
guarantee that every label
would meet the retailers'
standards and rogue labels
could pass through
undetected, possibly triggering
a penalty of £500 or more.”
The Logopak system

It provides full evaluation of
the bar code characteristics as
laid down by GSl, as well as
diagnostic data for remedial
action should a bar code fail to
meet the minimum standard set.
“A worrying number of print

users still seem to rely on
scanning alone to check their
pallet and case labels,” says
Jagger. He points out that just
because a bar code scans
correctly on the production line
does not mean it will
necessarily read correctly at
every point in the supply chain.
“It simply tells you that the
bar code is the right code and
good enough to be read by that
particular scanner, under the
conditions at that time, but
nothing more. Along the supply
chain the code will need to be
read, for example, by different
types of scanners, at varying
distances and angles and at
different conveyor speeds.”
This is where verification
comes in, he explains. It reads
the black and white bars but
then goes on to evaluate
characteristics such as
nominal/actual print contrast
signal, light and dark reflectance,
ratio and magnification variation,
check-sum analysis and metric
deviations. From all this a quality
grading is given, as well as any
diagnostic data required for
remedial action.
“There has never been a
short cut to verification,”
explains Jagger. “It can only be
carried out with an instrument
that conforms to the international
standard ISO/IEC 15426-1. The
difference now is that, with the
Logopak system, every bar
code can be verified.”

Conveyor platform adds value
On show will be FlexLink’s
new X65 conveyor platform
that has been designed to
offer higher value to users
compared to existing
production and packaging
lines. It offers lower total cost
of ownership, a lower noise
level and a special future-proof
design.
The new X65 offers twice
the strength of previous
models which, according to
product manager at FlexLink
Göran Abbestam, has a
dramatic effect on the service
life and maintenance intervals
of systems installed.
“In addition, the layout can be
made simpler as fewer drives
and transfers are required for
a given layout due to the
increased maximum conveyor
length,” he says. The user
therefore benefits from lower
installation costs.
It is designed for low friction,
low power consumption and a
long service life. Dependent on
the application and choice of
drive unit, power consumption
is between 8-44% less
compared to previous high
efficiency drive units by the
company. Higher capacity is
also offered as it is capable of
double speed compared to
previous conveyor
generations. At 120 metres a
minute, the company believes
it meets tomorrows higher line
speed requirements while
reducing the cost per unit
produced.
High speed picking and placing
without compromising quality
ABB’s new RacerPack has been built for high speed picking and placing.
Utilising ABB’s proven IRB 360 FlexPicker, the RacerPack solution
enables high capacity collation of products onto trays, cartons or feeding
of other machines.
Featuring a hygienic modular design, advanced tracking for precision
pick and placement and customisable gripper and conveyor options,
RacerPack presents a scalable solution for high-speed picking and
packaging applications.
See it for yourself at Stand K50 at the Total Processing and Packaging
Show, 4-6 June. For more information, email robotics@gb.abb.com

Lower cost of ownership is offered
“Throughout the
development work our main
focus has been on reducing
the total cost of ownership for
the conveyor equipment and
its drastically cut power
consumption, office-like noise
level and trouble-free
operation has achieved this,”
says Abbestam.

Making the most of vision
Visitors to the exhibition will not
only see that industrial vision
systems are built into many of
the processing and packaging
machines being demonstrated,
but also that there will be a
number of vision technology
suppliers and systems
integrators present. But many
process and production
engineers and managers are
not necessarily vision experts,
so how do they go about finding
a suitable vision system?
Understanding the
problem
The range of cameras, lenses,
lighting and software available
may seem bewildering, but
choosing the best system starts
with defining and understanding
the particular problem that you
are trying to solve. Discussing
this with vision specialists is
important since sometimes
people don’t even realise that
they have an application that
would benefit from a vision
solution. Something you might
think would be impossibly
difficult might actually be trivial
for a vision system, while
something that appears trivial
for a human can become very
complex for a vision system.
Vision applications broadly fall
into three categories:
l Inspection, in areas such as
quality assessment,
metrology, error/fault
detection, sorting, process
control
l Track and trace, for reading
codes, labels and marks in
manufacturing or packaging
l Robot vision, for guiding
robots or where robots
present components to the
vision systems for inspection
Being as open as possible
about the goals and
requirements of the application
will ensure the largest scope
for the best solution. Some
vision systems can be put
together very quickly using ‘off
the shelf’ hardware and
software components while
others need bespoke
development.
Applications
Answers to the following typical
questions should help the vision
experts to make an initial
evaluation of the application:
l What objects are to be
inspected?
l What is the cycle time for
inspection?
l What accuracy is required
for the measurement?
l How much space is
available?
l What are the ambient
environmental conditions?
l Does the system need to be
fully integrated into the
production process?
l Will an automatic rejection of
a ‘defect’ product be
required?
l What is the level of operator
expertise?
The vision experts can then
start relating these
requirements to the appropriate
vision components, as shown
above. Where in the
manufacturing will vision be
used? End-of-line inspection
based on ‘pass/fail’ decisions
prevents defective product
reaching the customer, but can
result in a lot of waste. The
earlier in the process that a
vision system is used, the
earlier any deviation from
specification can be detected.
This allows preventative action
to minimise waste and optimise
profits.
Track and trace
There are plenty of code
reading systems available, but
as with inspection applications,
the complexity of the solution
required for date codes, lot
codes, stock keeping units,
serial numbers and other text
based codes depends on a
number of factors. These
include:
l Regularity of code or label
orientation on the product
or package
l Position of the code on the
product (irrespective of
orientation)
l Regularity of the codes or
characters (eg are the
characters stretched or
skewed?)
l Is the code damaged?
l The contrast and/or colour
difference between the code
or characters and the
background
l Reflections from surrounding
surfaces
l The space available for the
code reader
l Any process/reject
interfaces required
l Speed of measurement
Robot vision
One of the major applications
for robot vision is ‘pick and
place’ where it is necessary to
locate an item, identify what
type of object it is and its
orientation and then get
accurate co-ordinates to pick
the item up. Typical
considerations are:
l What are the shapes and
profiles of the objects to be
picked?
l Are there variable heights?
l Is the arrangement of
objects random or regular?
l Are there a variety of
in-feeds?

helps users improve energy
efficiency. This solution runs
on B&R’s Automation PC 910
and is a simple way to
area, if required. This also
means that an access
platform is not required so
the amount of floor space
needed is reduced.

configurable and easy to
connect mechatronic servo
drive unit with integrated safe
motion functions to deliver
power to where it is needed
on the machine – over the
only open safety protocol,
openSAFETY. The
SafeLOGIC-X allows

Quick product
changes made
Sick UK’s latest
development in its range of
sensors and sensing
systems for factory
automation, safety, quality
control and track and trace
applications will be
launched.
The RapCo system Sick UK
The RapCo system
promises to speed up product
changes by adjusting
mechanical stops
automatically through an
integrated package of
sensors, drives, a controller,
display and cabling. Simple to
operate, all RapCo’s settings
can be configured via a
display and no knowledge of
plc programming is needed.
The result is a system with
batch-specific settings that
achieves speed and
repeatability while reducing
rejects.
Sick will also demonstrate
its new deTec4 nextgeneration
safety light
curtain which is said to set a
new benchmark for safety
while achieving bestpossible
machine integration
and higher operator
productivity. With a space
saving, robust IP67 design,
the deTec4 has no blind
zones, offering optimum
positioning and protection
against unsafe access.

Speedy case erector for
shelf ready packaging
Endoline will demonstrate its
latest case erector – the 248 –
which is designed specifically
to handle shelf ready
packaging (SRPs).
This fully automatic case
erector is a high speed, servo
driven machine incorporating a
gluing system to seal the
bottom of each case as it is
formed. The use of glue is
essential with SRPs as tape
interferes with the functionality
of the cases at the retailer, but
it also supports the higher
running speeds made
possible by the servos while
reducing the cost of
consumables.
The 248 incorporates
Endoline’s signature dual
opposing vacuum case opener
and top hopper which results
in an extremely compact
footprint. This means it can be
installed as an upgrade in
space constrained packing

Inspection units meet
track and trace needs
Open
OCS Checkweighers will
introduce a new generation of
dynamic, stainless steel
checkweighers designed for
the food industry.
Besides EC-Essential, the
compact entry model for safe
and reliable weighing of up to
150 pieces a minute, the
company also offers the HC-M
and HC-A. These two
additional checkweigher
models meet the most
stringent requirements in
modern weighing technology in
terms of accuracy and
throughput, says the company.
Traceable quality and
checkweighing for single packs
This x-ray
scanner and
checkweigher
combination
will be
demonstrated
Also on show will be an
intuitively usable Track & Trace
system that guarantees a
retraceable product flow from
the producer through the
distribution chain and the
retailer to the patient. This
solution to counterfeit products
in the pharmaceutical industry
is called Traceable Quality
System (TQS). All of the
components: the conveyor
system, the coder as well as
the camera are operated and
controlled by specially
designed software. This differs
from other systems as they
often need different user
interfaces for the individual
components, says OCS.
Completing the line-up on
stand are various x-ray
scanners that are also suitable
for the inspection of stationary
products. These models are
supplied in combination with
checkweighers and can
inspect all products from very
small, lightweight items to
crates and bags and, if
required, can be used without
the radiation protection curtain.

Big stand offers surprises
SMC Pneumatics will make its
debut appearance and as well
as demonstrating its pneumatic
solutions on its large stand,
it will also showcase some
products it is less well-known
for including ionizers, heat
exchangers, electric actuators,
process filtration and clean
room equipment.
Last time SMC UK exhibited
at a major show – the PPMA
Show 2011 – its stand included
a production cell assembling
real-time customer orders for
valve manifolds. At Total, the
company is raising the bar by
showing another live assembly
cell – this time manufacturing
control systems.
“By supplying control
systems as well as
components like FRL, valves
and actuators, we can provide
cost efficiencies for our
customers by converting some
of their fixed costs into variable
costs,” explains Pete
Humphreys, product
promotions manager at SMC.
“Control systems can contain
combinations of pneumatics,
electronics and electrical parts,
and whether you want just one
panel or to order the same
panels again in the future, SMC
offers a cost effective solution
and has the capacity for both.”
The company was voted one
of the worlds’ top 100 most
innovative companies for the
second consecutive year by
business publisher Forbes.

has been upgraded to include
several new features.
“We have undertaken a
process of continuous
improvement on our top of
the range thermal transfer
coder since it was launched,”
explains Gary Cowlard,
general manager at the
company. “The iQ now
features enhanced software
and controls to improve
performance, flexibility and
reliability which were already
above industry standards,”
he explains.
New features are added
Also on show are
examples from the AutoPilot
ink jet range from US
specialists Squid Ink
Manufacturing. This entry
level machine prints high
resolution characters on
porous and non-porous
materials by using Piezo
impulse printhead technology
producing text up to 18mm
high, or logos at 180dpi.
The company is
experienced in hot foil coding
equipment and has seen
renewed interest in this type
of coding due to the fact that
no ink is required in the
process. Its most recent
offering is the E-coder which
is suitable for various
overprint options.

As the latest addition to the
company’s best-selling UK
blender range, it is suited to wet
or dry cleaning and producers
can change mixes and switch
between products with ease
This Lab Zc – compact will be
unveiled at the exhibition
thanks to its suitability for
‘rip and tip’ operations. By
pre-configuring the UTL range,
the company has shortened
lead times and many models

Working models from the
Jenton Group will be seen on
two stands at this year’s event.
Stand C07 will incorporate a
working display of JentonAriana
automation equipment for the
food industry including the
Packleader BCS570 converger
for thermoformed packs, the
new high speed stackercollator
and a selection of on and off
line seal and leak testing
equipment for CAP/MAP packs.
For the first time at any
PPMA Show, JenAct’s patented
microwave UV technology
installed in a MicroTek liquid
treatment unit for disinfection
and extended shelf life of milk
and juices will be shown.
Jenton Group company JenAct
has licenced its patented UV
technology to MicroTek
Processes and a range of

Several working demonstrations
will be on the stands at Total
and liquid disinfection system
that uses pulsed microwave/RF
generators to induce near
monochromatic 254nm UVC light
in degradation free and long life
electrodeless lamp systems.
In particular, MicroTek will be
delighted to talk to customers
about its ‘low transmissive
liquid’ pasteurisation systems
for drinks. Jenton says these
have re-written the rule book in
terms of the limitations of UVC as
an alternative to thermal
processes, with up to 90%
energy savings deliverable and a
number of case studies where
customers have been able to
dramatically increase shelf life.
Due to the ambient UV
treatment process, any products
with delicate flavour profiles and
nutritionally beneficial components
will not suffer the changes
caused by heat treatment.
MicroTek microwave UV
systems are relevant to many
liquid food streams such as
dairy products, alcoholic
beverages, fruit juices,
smoothies and sugar syrup
solutions and one company,
Malmesbury Syrups, who
replaced a thermal treatment
bath with a MicroTek system two
years ago, has recently taken
delivery of a second system.
Also on display will be
conveyorised bag heat sealers
from Emplex, Canada and a new
stretch film bander from CE.
The second stand (N01) will

Most palletising solutions
are designed for high
speed and high volume
applications where the use
of labour would not be
feasible or desirable.
However, the need to
palletise goods exists at all
speeds and so the challenge
has been to design a
system which takes up the
minimum amount of space
as well as being cost
effective against labour
costs at lower speeds.

Meeting pharma needs
Pharma Machinery will be
demonstrating the new Noack
930 blister system from
Romaco, OLI’s new 3D case
packer which has a new design
incorporating servo transfer
through the loading station to
minimise the amount of
mechanical components, a
multi-lane stick packing
machine from Omag and a
labelling system from Etipack.
All of this equipment is designed
to meet the changing needs of
the pharmaceutical sector.
Improving the overall
effectiveness of the
equipment was a top
development priority for
Romaco when it designed
the Noack 930 blister system
with rotary sealing. A high level
of automation, short cleaning
times and quick format
changes combine to make the
packaging processes more
efficient.
The interchangeable
QuickFeed feed unit, which
enables product changes to be
completed in next to no time, is
one of the technical highlights.
One unit is removed and then
cleaned and prepared
separately while production of
the next batch takes place
This case packer is designed to
meet pharma standards
The Noack 930 accommodates the trend towards smaller batch sizes
concurrently using the second
module which results in shorter
cleaning cycles and downtime.
In addition, the fact that the
format sets can be fitted
without using tools along with
the easy access to all machine
parts speeds up retooling.
When teamed up with the
Promatic PC 4250, the Noack
930 blister system has a
packaging capacity of up to
400 blisters and 250 folding
cartons a minute. It handles all
standard foil types with a
maximum width of 165 mm.
The products are packed into
blisters in up to four lanes
parallel to the running
direction.
The Noack 930 blister system
is ideally suited for packing
pharmaceutical solids such as
tablets, soft or hard gelatine
capsules and caplets in a
variety of shapes and sizes.

Motor controls
at new levels
A new linear motor being
launched by Dunkermotoren
brings significant benefits to
systems designers and
machine builders and is
claimed to be the first ever
tubular linear motor with an
integrated amplifier and
controller.
New linear motor on show
In common with
Dunkermotoren’s existing
BG Series of DC brushless
rotary motors, the ST11
range of linear motors has
been extended with an
integrated controller option
that offers ease of
integration with significantly
reduced and simplified
wiring. It features a range of
analogue and digital inputs
and outputs, with CAN,
Profibus and EtherCAT
communications protocols
available as standard. Once
programmed, only power is
required to operate in
stand-alone mode, with
programming completed
using Dunkermotoren’s own
Drive Assistant.
The new controller mounts
easily with all models in the
ST11 series and maintains a
combined IP67 rating with
the motor although it can also
be positioned away from the
motor in the same way as a
conventional controller. This
ensures optimum flexibility
along with the advantages of
a single-source of supply for
all motion and control needs.
It is ideally suited for use in
a wide range of motion
control applications.

Sleeve feeder meets
off-line code needs
The KBA-Metronic
udaFORMAXX sleeve
feeder available from
PrintSafe Coding Systems is
described as an affordable
alternative to hand coding or
stickering. It is ideal for
suppliers to retailers who
need to accurately code or
label sleeves, cartons and
watch straps with useby/batch
codes and
promotional spot labels.
This new machine
succeeds the Metronic
UDA150-S sleeve feeder
which is widely used
throughout the food and
pharmaceutical industry for
off-line coding, for short
runs or to add additional
capacity. The latest
generation machine is also
able to be integrated with
Braille coding systems,
which is increasingly of
interest to food
Multivac Marking &
Inspection has integrated
the control of its cross
web and conveyor belt
labellers with an HMI 2.0
terminal used in the new
generation of its packaging
machines.
Users who are already
familiar with this interface
can now also operate the
labelling systems from
Multivac via the same
terminal.
The integration of these
labelling and marking
systems in the HMI offers
other benefits as the
system has become more
intuitive and efficient.
One example of this is
the automatic loading of
the labeller’s configuration
This new sleeve feeder can also be used for short runs or to
provide additional capacity when required
manufacturers as well as
pharmaceutical producers.
Because the
udaFORMAXX has a wider
bed – 420mm versus
300mm – it is more
adaptable as wider sleeves
and cartons can be
fed/coded, explains Theresa
Turner, business
development director at
PrintSafe. It also has an
LCD screen, updated
software, management
controls and a wider variety
of printers able to be
and print layouts, when the
recipe selection is
being made for the
thermoforming packaging
machine. Such combined
processes contribute to
error-free production, says
mounted to it.
Two versions are
available: a continuous
version for integration with
ink jet for high speed coding
and an intermittent version
for thermal transfer and hot
foil technologies.
Sleeves, cartons or watch
straps are fed through at
speeds of up to 300 a minute
which are matched by the
printer or labeller for accurate
date code or label positioning.

The time is right to now
exploit markets in Asia
At a UK Machine Builder conference hosted by Mitsubishi Electric, strategies for entering Asia and China and
building sustainable business were explored. Machinery Update reports
The great rush into Asia has
been underway for some years
but until recently the call for
manufacturing automation and
production machinery had
been relatively modest but
now, with local labour rates
increasing and domestic
consumption growing, things
are changing fast. In China
there is a further twist in that
the senior figures of national
government are giving way to
new leaders who are charged
with growing and developing
the internal economy of the
country – and where China
leads, its neighbours are likely
to follow.
Throughout Asia much of the
recent economic development
has been around coastal ports
and in China development has
concentrated on the eastern
seaboard, leaving the vast
interior to follow in later years.
But, when people leave
agriculture to work in new
manufacturing industries the
demand for manufactured
goods and consumables
Many companies are opening their own manufacturing plants in
China, as tna did a couple of years ago in Qingdao
develops alongside the export
side of the economy.
This has been apparent in
the Asian economies, where
naturally wage levels have also
increased. It was also
inevitable that as industry
developed it would be
impossible for these countries
to produce enough engineers,
other professionals and skilled
workers. In this way, Asia’s
eventual need for automated
production was predictable
and put simply, the conference
heard that its time has come.
It is also worth noting at this
point that the vast interior
regions of China are now
developing too. They are some
years behind the coastal region
but their development will be
quicker and more assured, so
over time they will catch up.
There has been some worry
that Asian growth has slowed in
recent years. But to put this into
perspective, the main engine,
China, has slowed to 8%. In the
well-developed coastal centres
growth is down to 5% and 65%
of its economy is now service,
an indicator of a maturing
economy – and an increasing
need for automation.
Robert Doak, from UK Trade
& Investment (UKTI), told the
conference that British
companies may have their own
technical USP but that
collectively they are also very
good at combining products
and service/support:
“Some countries can supply
excellent goods; others sell
intellectual expertise. But few
can achieve the goods and
service mix of the UK,” he
says. “This is a tremendous
strength for machine builders,
whose goods will probably
need commissioning, regular
servicing and frequent
redevelopment to adapt to
changing end-user demands.”
Doak is also keen to stress
that exporting halfway around
Machine builders from across the sector learned about the opportunities afforded in Asia during the one day event
78 MACHINERY UPDATE: MAY/JUNE 2013 www.machineryupdate.co.uk

seminar news
the world is not the sole
preserve of big companies.
“There are many opportunities
for SMEs, and once established
in China a steady stream of
work is likely to develop.
Getting set-up initially can seem
dauntingly complicated, but
good initial research and
exploratory visits are the first
steps. Then there are layers of
help available from UKTI, trade
associations, business
councils, export agencies, all of
which are invaluable.”
Another point raised by Doak
was that many UK companies
think only of China and forget
its expansive neighbours,
which also need the goods and
services of international
machine builders. The 10 or 12
nations south of China form a
significant sized market, with a
combined GDP of about
US$2trillion (about one-third
the size of China or four times
the size of the UK). Collectively
Asia has a GDP comparable
to the USA or the EU
(US$15-17trillion).
Chinese giant
Speaker Stewart Ferguson
from the China-Britain Business
Council focussed on the
Chinese giant. He pointed out
that it is not a unitary market,
but that the different regions are
semi-autonomous, and often
culturally very different.
China has a bewildering mix
Attendees also had the chance to examine the latest technologies
available at the mini exhibition of automation options
of private companies and stateowned
enterprises. Most
Chinese companies will only
pay in the local currency and will
make no effort to help suppliers
import their goods. But it is
worth noting that China also has
many resident non-Chinese
companies, so UK machine
builders may find it easier to
deal with or through these
rather than setting up their own
distribution arrangements.
UK companies also need to
think about how they are going
to repatriate their money out
from Asia and to make sure
they are able to cope with
currency fluctuations. There is
also the issue of local
regulations and protecting
intellectual property rights.
Grant Collier from the PPMA
spoke about how the
organisation is very pro-active
in helping companies set up in
China and has formalised
procedures into its three-tiered
Dragon Service.
Dragon Service
“Our Silver Dragon provides
support services, such as
market overview research,
translations, media contacts,”
he says. “With Gold we make
introductions, arrange
business tours and build
contact networks.
“Platinum is what really sets
us apart. We run an office in
Shanghai and will recruit and
employ people for clients.
They have tenancy in our
office and we manage their
activities on their behalf. Thus
we remove just about all the
risks from that initial setting up
period.”
Chris Evans looked at
Mitsubishi’s position in Asia.
“Mitsubishi Electric is the
leading supplier of automation
technologies in Asia, which
means we offer a stable and
locally accepted platform,” he
says. “We are renowned for
the quality of our products and
have the infrastructure on the
ground in Asia to support and
service our equipment.”
Asia has been quick to adopt
open standards for data
communications (i.e. field
devices from many different
manufacturers connected to a
common network). The
preferred solution for this in the
region is CC-Link, which has a
dominant market share
throughout Asia. This is not so
surprising when you realise that
CC-Link was developed in
Japan, so is seen as the local
choice, he said. CC-Link was
established as an open network
12 years ago and now has
support from many global
sensor and device manufacturers.
Partnering
“We are having conversations
with many machine builders
who maybe have not used our
products as their first choice in
the past but who now
understand that partnering us
and having a Mitsubishi
offering for their machines is
very important to succeed in
this region,” concluded Evans.

Linear actuator for
process automation
Festo has launched an
intelligent linear actuator for
process automation
applications.
The DFPI combines
the functions of a
linear actuator, a
positioner and
displacement
encoder in one,
easy to install
unit. As a result,
users can increase
operational efficiencies as
well as saving time and costs
associated with specifying
and installing equipment, says
Festo.
The DFPI solution is
designed for controlling knife
gate valves and shut-off
valves with regulated strokes
and for use with all linearactuated
process valves.
Typically, linear actuators with
externally fitted components
are used in these
applications however
they are susceptible to
mechanical problems
and therefore need
frequent maintenance.
With Festo’s high
performance DFPI, process
managers can benefit from a
more intelligent, robust and
simpler solution.
It features an all in one
design whereby all components
are fitted inside a compact
cylinder housing. It is robust
and can withstand harsh
environments to provide
reliable operation.

The new controllers, for
example, have large white PV
displays, which are easy to
read even at a distance, and
they have even greater
functionality than their
predecessors, including the
ability to handle inputs from a
wide range of temperature
sensors.
Bosch Rexroth has expanded
its product portfolio to include
its own range of filtration
systems as a result of its
acquisition of K&H
Eppensteiner. It will now
rebrand this range which
covers all aspects of filtration
with high flow rates and several
pressure ranges in return and

They retain, however, the
same 48 x 48mm dimensions
as the previous models. In
fact, as the depth of the new
Filtration product range is expanded
pressure types such as inline,
manifold, tank mounted,
duplex and all with indication

portfolio also contains all filter
accessories, including filter
programs, oil purification and
measuring instruments.

E5CC models is considerably
less than that of the older
E5CN units, using the new
models actually makes more
space available in the control
panel.
A key benefit is the option of
setting them up via a USB
connection to a standard PC.
When this option is used, the
controller derives its power
from the USB port, and needs
no separate supply
connections.

Palletiser safety improved
Palletisers and depalletisers are found in many manufacturing sectors and most palletiser-related injuries
occur when people enter the machine itself, as Paul Laidler discusses
The Health and Safety Executive
(HSE) has established
palletisers as a class of machine
that require particular attention
as injuries can be severe or
even fatal. HSE statistics in
March 2012 highlighted that in
the previous five years there had
been 44 serious accidents,
including a fatality, and two
dangerous occurrences involving
palletisers and depalletisers, six
of which resulted in prosecution.
The HSE outlines safety
principles for palletisers, which
includes guarding of machine
entry or exit points, with methods
such as interlocking moveable
guards, captive key exchange
systems or electro-sensitive
protection equipment (ESPE),
such as light curtains. Due to the
size of palletisers, full body
access is a common occurrence.
If not appropriately guarded,
unsafe access is therefore
possible, as well as unsafe
transfer between zones within
the machine. This means that
personnel can be in the
machinery without the
knowledge of those outside and
as HSE prosecutions have
shown, the machinery might be
re-started with resulting severe
consequences.
Light curtains
Where light curtains are in place,
it should be safe to assume that
operators are fully protected, but
we all too regularly see them
positioned incorrectly therefore
affording no safety benefit.
It is also essential that guards
are of the correct dimensions to
stop people getting under or
over them. The height of
distance guards must therefore
be selected using Table 2 of EN
ISO 13857 ‘Safety of machinery
- Safety distances to prevent
hazard zones being reached by
upper and lower limbs’, rather
than Table 1.
One option to improve safety
at entry/exit points is to use a
Captive Key Exchange system.
This is a simple, but highly
effective, method to guard
against such a potentially fatal
occurrence. A mechanical key
must be removed to isolate the
machine and release another
key, which the person takes with
them into the palletiser. While the
key is with the person, they are
safe as under no circumstances
can the machinery be re-started
until that key is returned.
Another common sight is the
lack of infill panels between
conveyor rollers, if fitted; they
would prevent trapping and
crushing if any limbs come into
contact with the conveyor.
Guarding
However, such problems are not
limited to old legacy machinery
with retrofitted guarding, as this
is still a common occurrence with
new machinery carrying CE
marking. In such cases, if the
machinery manufacturer has
installed them incorrectly, they
can be prosecuted under the
Machinery Directive.
The safety standard that
should be followed to ensure
safety is ‘EN 415-4: Palletisers
and Depalletisers’. Published in
1997 by CEN, the European
Committee for Standardisation,
a decision was taken in 2006 to
completely revise the Standard,
taking into account changes in
machinery technology such as
the increasingly widespread use
of industrial robots. The reasons
given for a review also
specifically mentioned ‘the
additional risks posed by
palletising and depalletising
systems’, as well as ‘additional
measures to minimise the risk of
The HSE has established palletisers as a class of machine that requires
particular attention as injuries can be severe or even fatal
a machine being reset and
restarted while someone is
inside the machine’.
CEN’s aim was to publish the
revised version of EN 415-4 by
2011, but it is still under review.
This means that EN 415-4 had
been harmonised to the old
Machinery Directive 98/37/EC,
but when this was replaced by
2006/42/EC on 30 December
2009, EN 415-4 ceased to be a
harmonised Standard. This of
course means that technically
there isn’t a standard for
palletisers and depalletisers.
Prosecution
While this does mean that
machinery owners cannot be
prosecuted under the standard,
they could still be prosecuted
under the Provision and Use of
Work Equipment Regulations
(PUWER), or machinery
suppliers prosecuted under
the Supply of Machinery
Regulations, which relates to
CE Marking requirements.
However, TÜV SÜD’s advice
is to continue using the Standard
as it remains ‘best practice’, and
shows due diligence on the part
of the machinery owner, until its
revision is complete and
published.
While we wait for CEN to
publish a revised standard and
best practice advice is to
continue to follow the current
EN 415-4, it remains a difficult
task. The failures we see on site
are often due to a lack of
appropriate internal expertise and
physical resource to do an
in-depth and correct PUWER
assessment of all machinery. With
palletiser machinery being on
such a large and complex scale,
the issue of time and expertise
availability is further magnified.
However, to immediately
identify any issues, a thorough
and correct PUWER assessment
should be completed before any
new machinery goes into
operation. Problems can then be
rectified with the manufacturer.
