TECHNOLOGY, DESIGN AND INNOVATION CHALLENGE 

LAUNCHES FOR 2019 

The Technology, Design and Innovation 

(TDI) Challenge is back for 2019. The 

Manufacturing Technologies Association’s 

(MTA) flagship school’s competition is now 

open for entries. 

The national competition encourages 

students to submit their existing coursework 

projects, which would go towards either 

their GCSE, A-Level or BTEC qualifications. 

Mike Falconer, Education and 

Development Manager at the MTA said 

“We’re pleased to launch this year’s edition 

of the TDI Challenge. Every year we’re 

amazed by all the fantastic projects that are 

entered. TDI lets students use their 

imaginations to create something unique, the 

level of skill and application of 

manufacturing processes on show always 

astounds the judges. 

He continued “for many former winners 

and entrants this competition has been their 

first step into a career in manufacturing and 

engineering - we’re excited to see what this 

year will bring.” 

There are four prize categories to be 

judged, two in each age group which are 14- 

16 and 17-19. Each age category have two 

prizes up for grabs for individual and group 

projects. The winner in each category will 

receive an individual prize (including iPads, 

GoPro cameras, Minirig speakers and 

drones) as well as up to £2000 of funding to 

spend on new Design and Technology (D&T) 

equipment for the classroom. 

• Individual student aged 14-16 

(GCSE/KS4/BTEC L2) 

• Individual student aged 17-19 (A- 

Level/BTEC L3) 

• Student group (3- 6 members) aged 14-16 

(GCSE/KS4/BTEC L2) 

• Student group (3-6 members) aged 17-19 

(A-Level/BTEC L3) 

Previous winners and participants have 

used the TDI as a springboard into the 

industry, last year’s winner in the 17-19 age 

category was Robbie MacIsaac of Strathallan 

School in Perth Scotland. His FLUX 

Blowpipe design, reduced the amount of 

moisture that gathers in a Bagpipes, 

Blowpipe when performing, his project 

gained a lot of attention and appeared on 

BBC Radio Scotland, the Times, the Scotsman 

newspaper and many other publications. 

Robbie said of winning the competition 

“It is class, I am absolutely buzzing after 

traveling seven and a half hours to get here it 

was definitely worth it. Just through all the 

people I have met and all these contacts I 

have made. I’m really looking forward to 

working with the people that I have met. 

He continued “From here I am looking to 

get my product to market and make a 

company out of it, so it is really exciting.” 

The judges said that Robbie’s project was 

“well researched and a great use of materials. 

This product has a large potential market and 

Robbie’s presentation demonstrated the 

potential of his product.” 

The closing date for entries is Wednesday 

15 May 2019, and only one application per 

student or group will be accepted. Schools 

are permitted to enter multiple students. 

Students cannot enter both the individual 

and group categories. Finalists will be 

notified by Friday 7 June 2019. The TDI 

Challenge is open to any student living in the 

United Kingdom. Entries must be from 

current students submitting current 

coursework, not work from a previous year. 

Applications are evaluated by a panel of 

judges who select the top twenty projects to 

attend the TDI Challenge Final hosted at 

Yamazaki Mazak’s European Technology 

Centre in Worcester on Wednesday 3 July 

2019. Finalists must be able to attend on this 

date with their finished project, substitutes 

from the same school will not be accepted. 

The chosen finalists display their portfolio 

of work in Mazak’s atrium, and give a brief 

presentation to the judging panel who will 

decide the overall prize winners. All finalists 

will receive a guided tour of the European 

Technology Centre, a presentation certificate 

and goodie bag to take home. Schools are 

offered press-release templates and 

photographs from the day to assist in their 

own local profile-raising.

SHIVAN SHINES BRIGHT TO WIN AMRC TRAINING 

CENTRE ‘APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR’ 

Innovation, passion and bringing fresh thinking 

into the workplace are some of the qualities that 

won Shivan Morkar the honour of being named 

‘Apprentice of the Year’ at the Advanced 

Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) 

Training Centre’s annual awards ceremony. 

The event, supported by Siemens and set 

against the stunning backdrop of the University 

of Sheffield’s Firth Court Hall on March 1, 

attracted the great and good from industry, 

business and public office across the Sheffield 

City Region and beyond. 

Look North presenter Harry Gration was 

host for the evening and among those who 

attended were Rt Hon Lord David Blunkett, the 

Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire Andrew 

Coombe, the High Sheriff of South Yorkshire 

Barry Eldred, Mistress Cutler Liz Cragg, Brian 

Holliday, managing director for Siemens 

Digital Factory and research engineer and Great 

British Bake Off winner, Dr Rahul Mandal. 

As part of his prize for winning the 

Apprentice of the Year 2019 award sponsored 

by Siemens, Shivan, a CNC machinist for 

William Cook Rail in Leeds, will travel to 

Germany for special visit to Siemens’ awardwinning 

Industry 4.0 Smart Factory in Amberg. 

Nominations for the annual awards are 

made by employers and trainers to recognise 

the achievement or contribution apprentices 

have made to industry, and are judged by a 

panel of AMRC Training Centre staff and 

award sponsors. 

This year, the judges said they had been 

overwhelmed by Shivan’s enthusiasm and 

passion for industry, the positive impact he’s 

had on his workplace, and that he has become 

an inspiration for other apprentices and work 

colleagues around him. 

On accepting the award, Shivan, who is in 

the first year of his degree apprenticeship, said 

the win is a massive boost in confidence and ‘a 

great feeling’ knowing his hard work has 

earned him such recognition. 

He said: “This means everything to me. I 

wasn’t expecting it at all - thank you to 

everyone who has supported to me. That 

support has been very important, it has pushed 

and helped me to do to more and keep on 

progressing.” 

Shivan, of Bradford, said one of the main 

highlights of his year was being given the 

opportunity to go to a McLaren Automotive 

press conference announcing its partnership 

with the AMRC because he got to sit inside 

three of their impressive supercars. Another 

high note was being involved in a project where 

he had to work with a company to manufacture 

a team of table top football players – all while 

still in his early days of learning about CNC 

machining. 

Phil Mosley, machine shop manager at 

William Cook Rail, was at the awards ceremony 

to see Shivan lift the trophy. 

All smiles: Look North presenter and ceremony host for the evening Harry Gration with 

the overall Apprentice of the Year winner Shivan Morkar and Brian Holliday, managing 

director for Siemens Digital Factory. 

“It is very well deserved. Shivan’s hard 

work, effort and motivation are unbelievable 

and just for him to take it to the level he has, 

getting his Level 3 so far ahead of schedule, 

shows every bit of enthusiasm and that he is 

keen to learn,” he said. “Shivan has a very 

bright future ahead of him and will go all the 

way.”

lecturer Itai Vutabwarova for the impact his 

teaching has had on apprentices’ achievements, 

and to Sarah Hudson for ‘going above and 

beyond’ in her support staff duties, giving 

invaluable support to the centre. 

Director of the AMRC Training Centre, 

Nikki Jones, said it was a fantastic evening and 

that she was proud of each and every one of the 

apprentices. 

“This is an evening when we embrace the 

future; when we look with great pride on the 

well-rounded, articulate, passionate young 

people whose energy and drive will see them 

rise to the very top in their chosen companies,” 

she said. 

“The halls of Firth Court echoed to loud 

applause as the older generation handed the 

baton to the younger generation, confident in 

the knowledge that manufacturing and 

engineering, the heart and soul of our region, 

are in safe hands and guided by smart brains.” 

Professor Keith Ridgway, Executive Dean of 

the AMRC, said: “The pride we feel in what our 

apprentices have achieved – and of how much 

further they can go with the knowledge and 

skills they have acquired – is what inspires and 

motivates us to do more. 

“The success of the AMRC Training Centre 

is a collaborative effort involving industry 

partners, government and a civic university 

publicly committed to expanding alternative 

learning pathways, widening access and 

deepening participation among groups of 

people who might otherwise be left behind.” 

On the evening Lord Blunkett, former 

Education Secretary, said: “The achievements 

we celebrated here tonight are a testimony both 

to the talent and tenacity of the young 

apprentices and to the ambition of their 

employers who have made the commitment to 

invest in their people. But it also a time of 

reflection; what we saw here tonight is a region 

building on its historic strengths in engineering 

and manufacturing and using these skills and 

this history to chart a better future.” 

University of Sheffield Vice President for 

Education, Wyn Morgan, added: “This evening 

was a wonderful celebration of the hard work 

and effort our apprentices have made and 

recognises the vital role they play in driving 

innovation in their companies and the wider 

region.”

UK PARTNERS FOR GERMAN STURMER GROUP


TITANIUM PRESSURE VESSEL FOR SPACE 

EXPLORATION BUILT SUCCESSFULLY USING THE 

WIRE + ARC ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS 

A team comprising of , Cranfield University 

and have successfully produced a first fullscale 

prototype of a titanium pressure vessel 

to be used in future manned missions for 

space exploration. 

The piece is approximately 1m in height 

and 8.5kg in mass. Made of the titanium alloy 

(Ti-6Al-4V), it has been deposited using the 

Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) 

process, which Cranfield University has 

pioneered over the last decade. 

Thanks to being able to go straight from 

digital drawing to final structure, WAAM 

has integrated two individual pieces into a 

single part; eliminating the need for longlead-time 

forgings; and substantially 

reduced the amount of waste material 

removed by machining. 

If manufactured traditionally, the 

component would have required about 30 

times more raw material than its final mass. 

By using the WAAM process, more than 200 

kg of Ti-6Al-4V has been saved for each item. 

There is room to improve this further, and 

Cranfield is working on innovative methods 

to deposit closer to the final thickness. 

The WAAM shape was manufactured at 

Cranfield and then sent to Glenalmond 

Technologies where it was stress-relieved, 

laser-scanned, machined and inspected using 

an ultrasonic method. The final inspection 

was performed by Agiometrix using a 

computer tomography (CT-scan) for internal 

quality analysis and an optical scanner, with 

Thales Alenia Space ensuring that the part 

met the mechanical requirements and 

specifications. 

Following the checks, the project team is 

satisfied that the vessel fulfils the driving 

technical and quality requirements. The team 

is now proceeding to the building of a second 

prototype, with the purpose to carry out a 

fine tuning of the whole manufacturing 

cycle, to demonstrate the repeatability and 

reliability of the process, and to push the 

implementation of the new approach into the 

flight hardware. 

Eng. Massimo Chiampi, Study Manager 

for Additive Manufacturing projects at 

Thales Alenia Space, said: “We were looking 

for an innovative manufacturing solution for 

the tanks, which typically suffer from long 

lead time with the conventional production 

route based on subtractive machining. 

Thanks to this project, we have demonstrated 

that the adoption of WAAM technology 

enhances the competitiveness of our product. 

A near-net-shape item is fabricated in few 

days - compared to several months needed 

for the procurement of the standard wrought 

products - and also the amount of machining 

operation is consistently reduced. We have 

achieved a 65% reduction on the overall lead 

time without giving up the requested 

performances and this provides a benefit also 

in terms of design flexibility, making it 

possible to answer customer needs at a late 

stage of the project.” 

Dr Jialuo Ding, Principal Research Fellow 

at Cranfield University and Chief Scientist at 

WAAM3D, said: “We have been developing 

WAAM technology for more than 10 years 

and it is very satisfying to see it reach this 

level of commercial maturity. We are very 

excited about rolling out the technology 

through our new spinout company, 

WAAM3D. We are also extremely pleased 

with the work done by Glenalmond 

Technologies, who have dealt with a part 

with limited machining stock, perfectly and 

at their first attempt.” 

Dr Filomeno Martina, Senior Lecturer at 

Cranfield University and CEO of WAAM3D, 

said: “This part was built using software and 

hardware that has been developed over the 

last decade; these are finally ready for 

commercialisation through a new spin-out 

company from Cranfield, WAAM3D. This 

part has given us the opportunity to test 

WAAM3D’s innovative solutions on a highprofile 

user case, with a very aggressive 

timescale. We are very proud of the level of 

automation achieved at Cranfield University. 

WAAM3D will make all these tools available 

to industrial community in the next couple of 

months and we are looking forward to the 

impact on industrial large-scale additive 

manufacture this will have.”

WORLD’S LONGEST igus E-CHAIN APPLICATION 

STILL RUNNING TROUBLE-FREE 10 YEARS ON 

Running continuously for 24/7 or standing 

idle for months on end – these are the two 

extreme conditions with which the world’s 

longest plastic energy chain. At the lignitefired 

power station in Tušimice, Czech 

Republic, the roller energy chain system with 

a travel length of 615 metres has been 

achieving this for ten years now without 

missing a beat. 

In normal operation, lignite (brown coal) 

is extracted from the opencast mine and 

conveyed directly into the power station. 

However, if coal production is interrupted 

for any reason, supplies must continue to 

keep generating energy. The operators of 

the power station, the ČEZ Group, do this 

by stockpiling large quantities of coal 

nearby. 

At Tušimice the coal is stored in a long 

heap on the periphery of the power plant 

site, which theoretically could be used to fuel 

the power station for a full week. To pile the 

coal automatically on the heap, a ‘stacker’ is 

used. To supply the stacker with energy, data 

and media, the ČEZ Group opted for an 

energy chain system from igus. 

The project was managed by Hennlich, a 

stocking distributor for igus based in the 

Czech Republic. At the Tušimice power 

station the 5050RHD energy chain is used. 

The ‘R’ in the name stands for ‘rollers’. 

“By using a roller, the coefficient of 

friction on long travels drops dramatically, 

when the upper run of the chain runs on the 

lower run,” explains Frank Schlögel, head of 

engineering projects at igus. “Because of the 

lower friction, up to 57 percent of the 

required drive energy can be saved. Which, 

of course, is all the more important on 

record-breaking travels like this one.” 

With his project engineering team, Frank 

Schlögel supervises special projects around 

the globe and accompanies customers closely 

along every step. From the first design and 

detailed planning stages up to installation 

and even maintenance. 

Before the igus energy chain system was 

installed at Tušimice, a cable drum was used. 

During the cold Czech winter, the cables 

froze up time and again, which could result 

in failures and unplanned shutdowns. These 

problems have been a thing of the past for ten 

last years. 

Working with Hennlich, igus developed a 

complete package for the application. Since 

then, only regular visual inspections have 

been carried out. Over the entire period, just 

ten crossbars have been replaced, a job done 

in a few seconds, not counting the inspection 

walk along the 615 m travel. 

In addition to this energy chain system, 

two more systems are installed at this site - 

one is a 400-metre travel, the other is 150 

metres. The two systems supply the 

‘reclaimer’, which removes the coal from the 

pile and transfers it to the conveyor belt that 

runs to the power plant. 

Inside the energy chains are various 

chainflex cables from igus, which have been 

developed specifically for use in energy 

chains. In addition to the chainflex motor and 

control cables, a fibre optic cable is used for 

data transmission. 

“Bus cables are out of the question for 

these long travels, as the signal strength 

would be degrade too much,” says Frank 

Schlögel. A water hose is also routed in the 

chain together with a heating cable that 

prevents the water from freezing inside the 

hose. The water hose is needed for the 

sprayer at the end of the stacker. When the 

coal is mined and piled up onto the heap, 

there is a lot of dust. This is counteracted by 

continuous spraying. 

Since commissioning, electronic 

monitoring has been carried out on the 

energy chain systems in Tušimice. By 

measuring the push/pull forces of the chains 

continuously, if the forces become too high, 

the system can be shutdown automatically. 

This can happen when debris enters the 

system, for example. 

In recent years, igus has further 

developed this form of ‘condition 

monitoring’, or isense as it is known and 

today offers machine builders modules for 

monitoring and predictive maintenance as an 

additional safeguard. Under the ‘smart 

plastics’ range, this includes break (isense 

EC.B) and push/pull (isense EC.P) 

monitoring modules. In the event of a chain 

break, the system can be switched off, so that 

further damage is avoided. 

To complement this the abrasion 

monitoring module (isense EC.W), measures 

the wear of the energy chain continuously to 

provide a reliable indication of the remaining 

service life of the system. This enables a 

planned replacement of the system without 

sudden failures. 

Admittedly, the stacker moves only at a 

moderate speed. About 20 minutes are 

needed to cover the 600 metres. And every 

now and then the system is not used for a 

whole month. But when the time comes and 

the coal needs to be conveyed to the heap or 

needed from there, the operator can trust that 

the system will work reliably with the igus 

energy chains regardless of the season. Even 

in these harsh conditions and after more than 

ten years.

ROCOL KNOW THAT WATER ‘QUALITY’ COUNTS 

The people at ROCOL have a reputation for 

solving difficult technical challenges while 

producing cutting fluids and industrial 

lubrication products that offer significant 

advantages over the competition. ROCOL 

products are formulated and then tested on 

state-of-the-art equipment which means 

customers can be sure of maximum 

performance every time. 

One key element that the UK-based 

company is sure of is the overall performance 

of any soluble cutting fluid emulsion is 

partially dependant on the quality of the 

‘mixing water’ used to prepare it. 

ROCOL consider three main features to 

indicate the quality of water. First, freedom 

from bacterial contamination. Secondly is 

freedom from particular contamination, and 

finally the amount of dissolved calcium and 

magnesium salts, referred to as total hardness 

often stated as a ppm (parts per million) value. 

Water that is hard contains calcium and 

magnesium compounds. Rain water is 

naturally soft – it contains few minerals. As it 

seeps through the ground it can pick up 

minerals, such as calcium and magnesium 

compounds, from the soil and rock it passes 

through. 

If rain water passes through soft rocks like 

chalk or limestone, it picks up these minerals. 

If it passes through hard rocks, such as 

granite or through peaty soils, it does not 

pick up these minerals and so remains soft. 

All UK mains water will meet regulatory 

quality measures. However, the total 

hardness of such water varies greatly across 

With strong sales within the growing 

manufacturing sector in Ireland Ceratizit UK 

& Ireland is happy to return and play a role 

in the Manufacturing Solutions Ireland 

conference and exhibition taking place at the 

Limerick Institute of Technology on 

Wednesday, 12th June 2019. This popular 

event is co-hosted by the Limerick Institute of 

Technology (LIT) & GTMA and, provides a 

focal point for all things manufacturing 

related in Ireland, with opportunities to 

discuss real-life scenarios with leading 

suppliers and see the latest manufacturing 

technology first-hand. 

Ceratizit UK & Ireland has been active 

within Ireland for many years, working 

closely with some of the leading 

manufacturing companies across a range of 

sectors including aerospace and medical. It 

the country. Areas such as the South of 

England, where the majority of water is 

supplied from underwater springs set into 

calcium rich ground, tend to have high levels 

of total hardness. Areas such as Scotland 

have relatively soft (or mineral free) water. 

Total water hardness is usually measured 

in ppm (parts per million). It is generally 

accepted that the ideal water hardness for 

preparing cutting fluid is around 90 ppm. If 

the water is softer than this then excess 

foaming can be a problem. If the total 

hardness increases above this level other 

problems can be encountered. 

If the hardness of the mixing water 

exceeds 300 ppm then fluid performance will 

always tend to be compromised. High levels 

of hardness minerals in water will affect both 

fluid performance and sump life. These 

minerals react with the chemical emulsifiers 

and cause emulsion instability. This can 

result in poor cutting performance; reduced 

corrosion protection and a tendency for the 

fluid to split (separate back to oil and water). 

They can also react with various other 

additives and lead to the generation of

cutting tool technology and applications 

advice to students, supported by its team of 

applications and technical sales engineers 

based in the Republic of Ireland. 

“Manufacturing Solutions Ireland provides 

us with a further opportunity to put across 

the power of the combined brands within the 

Ceratizit Group, these being Cutting 

Solutions by Ceratizit, Komet, WNT and 

Klenk, all of which provide leading-edge 

tooling technology, but can combine to create 

the optimum manufacturing solution,” says 

Adrian Fitts, Ceratizit UK & Ireland’s 

Business Development Manager. “We are 

proud to be associated with the success story 

that is manufacturing in Ireland and our 

attendance at Manufacturing Solutions 

insoluble hard water soap or scum. 

Most cutting fluid formulations can 

initially cope with even the hardest UK 

water. The real problems start as mineral 

levels rise due to the need to constantly top 

up systems with fresh fluid. The need to top 

up systems is caused by ‘drag out’ on swarf 

and evaporation of the water phase due to 

heat. This evaporation concentrates the 

hardness minerals in the remaining fluid. 

Then, as the system is topped up, fresh 

minerals from the supply water are added. 

This process continues with every top up 

gradually increasing the total hardness of the 

fluid until it reaches problem levels. 

The rate at which total hardness increases 

will vary from machine to machine and will 

depend on factors such as the initial water 

quality, the amount of fluid dragged out by 

swarf, the amount of heat generated during 

the machining process and even the design of 

the coolant tank. 

Where cutting fluid performance is 

compromised by water quality it is 

sometimes cost-effective to consider using 

treated water, which will have a positive 

effect on the life of the cutting fluid but a 

short term, negative impact on the profit 

margin as water treatment equipment would 

need to be purchased. However, the use of 

ROCOL’s Ultracut HW (hard water) EP and 

semi-synthetic range of cutting fluids can 

help to minimise the associated problems.

PSL DATATRACK FULLY SUPPORTS BROWN AND HOLMES' 

GROWTH AND EXPANSION INTO NEW BUSINESS AREAS 

Brown and Holmes's success over recent years has been reflected in its 

growth which has seen a doubling of production output, an increase in 

turnover of some 50% and the ongoing development of a global business. 

This has resulted in the acquisition of additional premises and 

investment in new machinery and staff. The creation of a new Apprentice 

School is addressing the skills shortage in the industry as a whole and 

ensuring that the company's future is in the hands of qualified engineers 

who understand the company's business, production processes and Key 

Performance Indicators (KPIs). 

This is all supported by their PSL Datatrack production control 

system. 

In 2002, Brown and Holmes of Tamworth 

became the first Precision Workholding 

Manufacturer to use PSL Datatrack. 

Specialising in the design and manufacture of 

complex, bespoke workholding fixtures and 

tools, in recent years the company has 

expanded its business to cover new areas 

including robotics and more recently 3D 

printing, building upon the company's 

manufacturing expertise while embracing new 

technologies. The production and 

administration processes behind all of these 

business elements demand close control for 

Brown and Holmes to be profitable and fulfil its 

KPIs. This control has been achieved through 

continued investment over the last sixteen years 

in both standard PSL Datatrack modules and 

features customised specifically to support the 

evolving business. 

Steve Smith, General Manager, says, 

“Proper production control is the key to our 

successful operation and the adaptability of the 

PSL Datatrack software, customised to meet our 

evolving production needs, has been vital over 

the years.” Brown and Holmes recently 

updated its processes regarding the KPIs it 

reviews and, after a site visit from PSL 

Datatrack to discuss different reporting 

requirements, a new bespoke report that 

automatically details the activities of the 

business on a daily basis was formulated. This 

includes the value of orders received, invoicing 

value, purchase invoicing and the value of 

orders currently on the system. “The daily 

availability of these KPIs allows us to have 

better foresight and planning of the sales, 

production and accounting functions within 

our business,” says Steve. 

The company's specialist workholding 

fixture design and manufacture, where almost 

every job is different, still makes up around 60% 

of its business. Specially machined and 

assembled parts, standard components and 

‘bought out’ items are usually required and 

these variables are managed from quotation to 

invoice by PSL Datatrack. When quoting, 

Brown and Holmes establish the details 

required including workpiece locations, 

orientation and clamping systems. The 

quotation is then generated using PSL 

Datatrack and the proposal sent to the customer 

on highly customised letterheads. Historical 

customer information is kept in a separate PSL 

Datatrack archive system enabling the recall of 

any historic customer quotation and sales data. 

Once an order has been secured, a detailed 

CAD drawing is produced and works orders for 

parts to be manufactured are raised in PSL 

Datatrack from the quotation. Process layouts 

are generated for use on the shop floor and all 

manufacturing times are recorded, allowing 

critical comparison between calculated and 

actual times taken. 

Brown and Holmes now use a wide range of 

PSL Datatrack modules quotations, works 

orders, purchase orders, scheduling, Shop Floor 

Data Collection (SFDC), CRM/Tasks, deliveries 

and invoicing as well as benefitting from 

customised management reporting. All 

production data including inspection and 

finishing is entered on a daily basis and PSL 

Datatrack provides accurate end-of-job costing 

which, together with the cost of purchased 

items such as material and subcontract 

operations, ensures that Brown and Holmes are 

constantly monitoring production efficiency 

and estimating procedures. 

With all of these different elements to 

consider, two particular advantages of using 

PSL Datatrack spring to Steve's mind: 

traceability and flexibility. Full traceability is 

provided as every job is tied back to a specific 

works order number, encompassing 

purchasing, production, assembly, inspection, 

invoice/credits, delivery notes and 

conformance certificates. In terms of flexibility, 

PSL Datatrack has been adapted over many 

years and for Brown and Holmes is now almost a bespoke piece of 

software due to the number of options that have been configured to 

address daily requirements. “The standard reporting available is 

comprehensive but, in addition, the team at PSL have also created a 

number of completely bespoke reports that allow us to drill down into 

each area of the business and analyse individual areas,” says Steve. 

The software also provides invaluable assistance across the 

company's robotic, precision engineering and new subcontract 

engineering business areas. The reports available within the PSL 

Datatrack system allow Brown and Holmes to separate out the different 

revenue streams within the business and 

evaluate the activities within each of them. This 

allows for the assessment of different elements 

in detail, to find and address the areas that 

impact on profitability as well as to promote the 

actions that have a positive effect. 

For Brown and Holmes the versatility of the 

company's shop floor staff – many of whom 

have come through the company’s long 

standing apprentice training scheme – means 

they can comfortably switch disciplines and 

have the knowledge to use PSL Datatrack at 

every stage of production. Brown and Holmes 

are currently in the process of reviewing and 

improving its SFDC procedures with a view to 

realising more accurate reporting of real time 

actions on the production floor. At the same 

time, plans are in hand to introduce visual 

reporting in the form of PSL Datatrack's shop 

floor Status Board display system which will 

help to highlight any production problems 

encountered, enabling them to be addressed at 

source. 

If support is needed, Brown and Holmes 

have great confidence in the assistance they 

receive from PSL Datatrack. “The support 

offered is second to none. There is always an 

advisor available on the telephone support line 

to deal with any problem or query we 

encounter and it is very rare that these cannot 

be worked through, either over the phone or 

through a remote desktop session. On the odd 

occasion where a more detailed need arises, 

such as introducing a new process to the 

business, onsite support is also readily 

available,” says Steve. 

Steve concludes: "PSL Datatrack has 

developed their system in line with the way we 

have developed our business. The system is 

easy to understand, versatile and, with the help 

of the team at PSL, can be moulded to suit 

whatever business need arises. We would 

definitely recommend it.”

MTA PRESIDENT SAYS ASSOCIATIONS MEMBERS 

ARE MOVING MANUFACTURING FORWARD 

Thursday night (28th February 2019) saw the 

Manufacturing Technologies Association 

(MTA) Annual Dinner at the Park Plaza 

Hotel in Westminster, London. The event 

had special significance this year with the 

added jubilation of marking the 

Association’s 100th anniversary of 

representing the UK’s manufacturing 

technology suppliers. The event was 

attended by over 500 guests from across the 

MTA’s membership, the wider 

manufacturing community and beyond. 

MTA President and Director of Yamazaki 

Mazak Marcus Burton used his key note 

speech to reflect on the history of the 

association and how manufacturing 

technology will shape our future. 

He said, “The overarching lesson from 

our history is those that have prospered are 

those that have understood what is 

happening around them, embraced the new 

opportunities, and changed their business 

models.” 

He continued “With the opportunities of 

the 4th Industrial Revolution we can leapfrog 

the past and invest in the future. Businesses, 

the public and Government, through a 

modern long-term industrial strategy, must 

embrace these new opportunities and ensure 

that the UK changes its culture to one of 

long-term of investment.” 

Mr Burton concluded “Digitalisation is 

going to dominate the future of our industry 

– in fact manufacturing is being recast as a 

digital industry. We in this room have 

everything that is needed to move 

productivity forward.” 

Awards 

The dinner also saw the MTA honour some 

key figures within the manufacturing 

technologies sector by presenting them with 

Outstanding Contribution to UK Industry 

Award. 

• Sir David McMurtry, Executive Chairman 

of Renishaw 

• John Deer, Deputy Chairman of Renishaw 

• Professor Keith Ridgway CBE, Executive 

Dean of the AMRC Group 

• Juergen Maier CBE, Chief Executive of 

Siemens UK 

MTA CEO, James Selka DL, said of the 

dinner and awards “It is fantastic to have so 

many of UK manufacturing’s leading figures 

in one room to celebrate 100 years of the 

MTA. It is our great honour to be able to 

present the Outstanding Contribution to UK 

Industry Award to four people who have 

dedicated their lives to our sector and who 

are all real champions of UK industry.” 

Sir David McMurtry, is the Executive 

Chairman of Renishaw plc and the inventor 

of the original touch trigger probe while 

Deputy Chief Designer at Rolls-Royce, in the 

early 1970’s. He co-founded Renishaw in 

1973. 

John Deer, is the Deputy Chairman of 

Renishaw, having co-founded the company 



UK and Germany including Managing 

Director of Industrial activities for the UK 

and Manufacturing Director of the awardwinning 

Drives factory in Congleton. 

Latterly he has led Made Smarter, the 

independent review of industrial 

digitalisation. Made Smarter sets out how 

UK manufacturing can be transformed 

through the adoption of industrial digital 

technology (IDT). He was made a CBE in the 

most recent New Year’s Honors list. 

Commenting on winning the award 

Professor Maier said “I am delighted to 

receive this award and it’s a real honour to be 

recognised alongside our leading 

industrialists today. What we all have in

REAL-TIME DATA 

FOR PROCESS 

OPTIMISATION 

Tooling expert Walter GB says Industry 4.0 

means different things to different people and, 

indeed, the phrase very often causes 

uncertainty among production engineers, 

especially those in small/medium-sized 

companies. However, after addressing 

digitalisation some years ago, Walter has 

specifically developed for such users its Nexxt 

digital products and Industry 4.0 solutions. 

These include the Comara iCut software 

tool, which is based on the real-time analysis of 

incoming machine data. Comara has not reinvented 

milling or turning with the iCut 

adaptive feed control but has focused on getting 

the most out of a machine without making 

major changes to the existing process or 

carrying out complex and time-consuming 

programming work. 

The software is integrated into the existing 

control program and applies the data for the 

machining process. In the first cut, iCut ‘learns’ 

the idling output of the spindle and the 

maximum cutting efficiency per cut. Then it 

measures spindle output (at up to 500 times per 

second) and automatically adjusts the feed and, 

as a result, the machine operates at the 

maximum feed that iCut has ‘learned for each 

tool, whenever possible. 

If the cutting conditions change, perhaps 

owing to varying contact angles and depths of 

cut, fluctuations in allowance or due to signs of 

tool wear, iCut adapts the speed and output in 

real time – and the resulting optimised milling 

increases process reliability and boosts 

production output, at least by 10 per cent. 

In addition, the forces on the spindle are 

more constant - which increases its service life – 

and if the tool is in danger of breaking, iCut 

immediately reduces the feed or stops the 

action. 

Comara has also developed the appCom 

software platform to make all the data 

generated during the machining process usable 

for process optimisation. Comara appCom 

comprises two components: a PC, which is 

installed in the machines and integrated in the 

control system; and the software, which 

analyses and displays data. 

Walter uses the app principle for this and 

even the basic version of appCom features more 

than 13 apps which can be used to collect and 

monitor parameters including machine status, 

productivity and the stability of the programs 

being run. Company-specific apps can also be 

programmed and displayed.

CAD/CAM SUITE AND HIGH- 

PERFORMANCE PACKAGE EXPANDED 

The latest version of the hyperMILL® 

CAD/CAM suite, 2019.1, is now available. 

OPEN MIND, one of the leading manufacturers 

of CAD/CAM solutions, has expanded the 

finishing module in the hyperMILL® MAXX 

Machining performance package. Further 

highlights include process optimizations as well 

as new functions for reducing calculation times. 

‘5-axis Prismatic Fillet Finishing’ is a new 

function in the finishing module of 

hyperMILL® MAXX Machining: Thanks to the 

geometry and automatic setting of the barrel 

cutter, this feature can be used in accordance 

with the principle of a high-feed milling cutter. 

The processing takes place in a plunging and 

pulling movement with an extremely high feed 

and this allows the highest machining 

performance possible with high-performance 

conical barrel cutters, also called circle segment 

or parabolic cutters. Ball and radius cutters can 

also be used efficiently with this strategy. 

Thread milling options have been 

completely redesigned for hyperMILL® 2019.1 

to improve convenience and user friendliness 

for the programmer. The module supports a 

variety of different thread milling cutter types 

and allows extremely easy selection of righthand 

and left-hand threads or the definition of 

the milling direction from bottom to top or vice 

versa. The thread milling feature also offers 

automatic approach and retract macros, a 

selection of roughing options and simplified 

programming. 

hyperMILL® manages the order of the 

processing steps with job IDs. Changes to these 

The impressive StarMill SED range of end mills 

from TaeguTec has now been expanded to offer 

a greater choice of diameters, lengths, radii, 

coatings and geometries to suit the ever 

changing demands of the marketplace. 

Already a star performer on difficult to cut 

materials such as stainless steel, titanium, 

inconel and other high temperature alloys, the 

StarMill has been extended with the arrival of 

the SED4 UL range of 4-flute extra reach end 

mills. The new UL extension introduces end 

mills with 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12mm diameter with 

an overall reach from 63 to 92mm depending 

job numbers have so far resulted in 

recalculations - these are now avoided to save 

time. The improvement in job management 

now means that a job ID can be changed 

without having to subsequently recalculate the 

machining job in question. The consecutive 

numbering of the compound and machining job 

is controlled via a start value and an increment 

value. The benefit of this new feature is 

transparent structuring and reduced calculation 

times. The clamping position can now also be 

changed later without the machining jobs 

having to be recalculated. 

The tool database in hyperMILL® has 

received a small but fine improvement. Until 

now, there was only one comment field. In 

Version 2019.1, users have the option of 

individually expanding the tool database. As a 

result, information such as order numbers, 

prices or service life can now be clearly stored 

and the CAM programmer is able to manage 

tools even better than ever before.

TAEGUTEC INTRODUCES SHOOTING STAR 

upon the chosen diameter. With a flute length 

from 10 to 40mm, this addition to the SED lineup 

enables manufacturers to reach deep into 

small cavities and difficult to reach surfaces. 

In addition to the SED4 UL line, TaeguTec 

has also introduced a complete line of SED4 UR 

end mills with a corner radius for enhanced tool 

life and machining performance. The new SED4 

UL range is available in diameters from 2 to 

16mm with each diameter offering the customer 

a selection of corner radii. Whilst the 4mm 

diameter tool offers users the choice of a 0.1, 0.2 

or 0.5mm radius, the largest 16mm end mill is 

available with a 0.5, 1, 2 and 3mm corner radius. 

All ranges within the SED StarMill portfolio 

incorporate unequal flute spacing and a highhelix 

that combine to reduce harmonic effects 

and vibration during high-speed machining. 

Furthermore, the polished high-helix flutes 

improve chip evacuation whilst the dynamic 

new TT5515 grade coating prolongs tool life 

under the most challenging of machining 

parameters. For further details on the new 

additions to the TaeguTec StarMill end milling 

series, please contact your local representative.

A RotaVice indexing 

head from 1st MTA 

secured in a Chick 

One-Lok using the 

special jaw. 

MANUAL INDEXING HEAD SAVES 

PROGRAMMING AND SET-UP TIMES 

Ideal for production shops where manual 

mills may still be in operation, but equally 

well suited to use on a CNC vertical 

machining centre (VMC), a new, manually 

adjustable indexing head has been 

introduced by 1st Machine Tool Accessories, 

Salisbury. The RotaVice can be rapidly set to 

position a component at a multiplicity of 

rotary angles in the horizontal plane for 

milling and drilling. 

Produced in the UK, the unit is designed 

to be secured in a One-Lok workholding 

device manufactured by Chick in the US, for 

which 1st MTA is the sole agent in the UK 

and Ireland. 

Expensive fixtures and the need to change 

machine set-ups can be avoided, saving 

money and time. In smaller job shops 

employing 4-axis VMCs equipped with a full 

or indexing rotary table, where there may be 

only one or two people able to program the 

machine, the load can be lightened by having 

an operator of a lower skill level set up a 

component manually for 3-axis machining. 

Everything about the RotaVice is fast. 

First, a One-Lok may be bolted quickly onto 

a VMC table. Next, positioning the moveable 

jaw using the built-in, time saving ratchet 

mechanism leaves only a few turns of the 

handle to clamp the indexing head in a 

special RotaVice jaw, also made by 1st MTA, 

which replaces the standard One-Lok jaw. 

Lastly, the workpiece is secured in moments 

in a horizontal orientation using an array of 

workholding options, which include a 3-jaw 

chuck. 

Adjusting the angle is also rapid and 

accurate. It is effected by turning a circular 

locating plate to the required angle and 

inserting a pin into the relevant hole, an array 

of which are pre-drilled into the plate at the 

most common angles. In the standard 

configuration, 5, 10 and 45 degrees are 

available. The standard plate can be changed 

for a specific plate to suit any job that 

involves the use of non-standard angles. 

Another advantage of the RotaVice is that 

once the angle has been selected, it uses the 

clamping force of the One-Lok to secure the 

rotary angle. This force, which is much 

higher than that offered by standard dividing 

heads, allows significantly heavier 

machining cuts to be taken and delivers 

improved surface finish. 

Altering the angle for a subsequent 

machining operation on the same component 

is similarly achieved without having to reclamp 

the part, thereby avoiding loss of 

accuracy through tolerance build-up. 

Intermediate angles can be set using a rotary 

dial with a one degree increment scale, while 

very fine adjustments down to ± 0.5 degree 

can be made using the toggle lever mounted 

at the top of the unit. 

Importantly, RotaVice has a large through 

bore with a taper and an internal thread, both 

of which can be configured for use with 

chucks, mandrels, special fixtures and 

backstops. These are normally not associated 

with standard dividing head systems. 

RotaVice is available from 1st MTA to 

existing users and new users of Chick One- 

Loks in Britain and Ireland. The system can 

also be exported to manufacturers

TOP QUALITY MACHINERY 

www.newcentury.co.uk 


Welding is one of the most common robotic applications in the 

industrial sector. Providing the capability to deliver repeated weld 

quality, time after time, the uptake of robots in this technology 

segment continues apace. 

The automotive sector is a clear driver of demand. Daimler AG, for 

example, has recently placed a major contract with Kuka for robots 

that will be used to optimise the body-in-white production of its latest 

C-class vehicle. Production systems for the front and rear end, as well 

as the underbody line, will be built for a number of derivatives. A total 

of around 800 industrial robots from the Kuka KR Quantec series, 

complete with KR C4 controller, will be integrated at the Daimler 

plant. 

The news comes hot on the heels of Kuka being chosen by 

automotive manufacturer GAC Group to help automate the 

company’s new production facility in Guangzhou, China. In total, 

Kuka has been commissioned to deliver about 430 industrial robots for 

manufacturing electric cars. Robots of the KR Quantec and KR 

Fortec series – including controller – will be used for joining and 

handling tasks in body-in-white production. The cloud-based Kuka 

Connect platform will also be implemented. This platform affords 

customers easy access to robot data from any device, facilitating 

subsequent analysis. 

Kuka has in fact just released a new generation of its KR Quantec. 

Among the enhancements are additional ‘motion modes’ – software 

add-ons which ensure optimal robot motion for specific applications. 

For instance, ‘path mode’ allows for CP motion with greater precision, 

while ‘dynamic mode’ increases speed and thus reduces cycle time. 

In another industry development 

associated with robotic welding for the 

automotive sector, ABB recently completed 

the acquisition of Turkey-based AB Rotech. 

The expertise of AB Rotech’s engineering 

team covers the entire robotic welding 

lifecycle, from design and commissioning to 

electrical engineering and customer service. It 

is thought that the acquisition will boost 

ABB’s robotic welding solutions, offering 

capability for all tiers in the growing 

automotive segment. According to the 

International Federation of Robotics, the 

automotive segment remains the world’s 

largest robotics market. 

Of course, many other sectors besides 

automotive are in need of automated welding. 

For example, in mid-February, aluminium 

specialist AMAG opened a new €4 million 

cladding station to manufacture multi-layer 

composites for the aerospace industry with 

welding technology supplied by Fronius. 

Plates and aluminium ingots are welded 

then heated up and rolled in the cladding 

station. AMAG relies on automated 

equipment from Fronius in the form of two 

independent welding systems that combine 

the aluminium layers. The systems are 

equipped with CMT Twin – double-wire 

welding heads that use the ‘cold’ welding 

process, Cold Metal Transfer. CMT Twin 

results in high welding power with low heat 

input and minimal spattering, allowing it to 

support the high productivity level of the 

cladding station. The HMI-T10 system 

controls from Fronius oversee the welding 

system’s movements, as well as the power 

sources. 

WELDING AND ROBOTICS 

CARRYING A TORCH FOR AUTOMATION 

Clearly, product development remains 

vital is a segment witnessing ever-increasing 

demand. Fanuc, for example, has recently 

expanded its ARC Mate 120iD series. With a 

maximum payload of 25kg and a range of 

1,831mm, users will appreciate that the robot 

can now reach closer to its own base, 

increasing the active stroke to 1,585mm 

compared to its predecessor model. 

The new ARC Mate 120iD welding robot, 

like its smaller brother the ARC Mate 100iD, 

has an improved design featuring the optimal 

passage of cables and media lines. In addition, 

since the robot’s wrist axes are equipped with 

protection class IP67, the ARC Mate 120iD is 

well protected against splashes or dust, 

making it a suitable candidate for welding 

applications. 

Abicor Binzel has also been busy on the 

development front and, in a collaboration 

with Novarc Technologies, has produced its 

SWR (Spool Welding Robot), a collaborative 

robot that is said to deliver four times faster 

pipe welding. 

The welding torch on the SWR is designed 

for high amperage and high load welding. 

Rated up to 600A and equipped with a stateof-the-art 

torch cable, the modular torch 

design allows for easy threaded torch-neck 

change-out without altering the tool centre 

point. Importantly, triple beam sampling 

gives the SWR solution real-time tracking of 

the weld joint to guide the torch through the 

seam variation and produce quality welds 

every time. The torch-to-pipe distance is 

maintained within ±0.1mm accuracy so the 

operator can focus on the weld. 

From an Industry 4.0 perspective, among 

the latest breakthrough technologies is the 

Cloos Gateway C-Gate, which allows the 

demand-oriented management of welding 

and robot data. This complete information 

and communication tool centrally records and 

processes all data. The user-specific display of 

information allows detailed visualisation, 

evaluation and further treatment of the 

collected operating and welding process 

information. 

Comprising near-system hardware and 

software modules for production, quality 

management and service, C-Gate can be 

integrated into existing Industry 4.0 

environments. Via standardised interfaces it is 

possible to transfer data to superior IT-based 

solutions such as MES and cloud applications, 

or other systems. 

While the potential for automation in the 

welding arena is clear to see, the UK still has 

some catching up to do. In fact, the managing 

director of Fanuc UK, Tom Bouchier, recently 

addressed the Business, Energy and Industrial 

Strategy Committee in Parliament, warning 

about the UK falling behind other European 

nations due to a lack of automation. 

“The UK is the only G7 country with a 

robot density below the world’s average – a 

figure that stands at just 74 units per 10,000 

workers,” he said. “This positions the UK 

behind 14 other European countries, while 

Germany has a density of 309, making it the 

most automated nation on the continent. If 

we’re 30% less productive per hour than a 

German worker, then we are not going to stay 

competitive.”
