BRISTLE BLASTERThe MBX Bristle Blaster removes corro-sion and generates an anchor profile by using a specially designed rotary bristle tool. Bristle tips are designed to strike the surface with kinetic energy that is equiva-lent to standard processes that use grit blast media, resulting in a texture and vis-ual cleanliness that mimics those obtained by grit blasting. The tool is ideal for spot-repair applications, but can also be used for larger surface areas when other metal cleaning processes may be prohibitive. The process provides an efficient means for the removal of corrosion, mill scale, defunct protective coatings, and for post-weld cleaning operations.Stone Tucker Instruments Inc.

MACHINE VISIONLMI’s maeestro™ allows engineers to rapidly design, install, and start-up any machine vision solution while reducing time and materials using only two univer-sal maestro™ modules for all installations. Maestro™ is comprised of two modules. The P800 module is the master controller that interfaces with the encoders and the I/O, but also delivers microsecond syn-chronization, power, and safety on CAT5E cables for up to 8 or more cameras and light sources, all from a single power sup-ply. All timing, triggering, synchroniza-tion, sorting, and reject activations are completed by the maestro P800 module. As a result, all devices are slaves to the P800 controller, including the host com-puter that performs the image processing.LMI Technologies, Inc.

VENTILATION FANSEnvira-North introduces a new line of high volume low speed (HVLS) fans. The Altra-Air fan incorporates WhalePower’s revolutionary Tubercle Technology™. The fan will deviate from traditional HVLS fans by featuring a five-bladed de-sign with the Tubercle Technology™ — advanced engineering inspired by the bumps on the leading edge of Humpback whale flippers. These fans qualify for a number of different energy efficient in-centives for both new builds and retrofits. These new fans destratify the air more ef-ficiently by evening out temperature in any big space and make it a whole lot more comfortable. The fans come in sizes from 8 ft. to 24 ft. and have variable speed operation.Envira-North Systems Ltd.

INFRARED TEMPERATURE CALIBRATORThe Reed Model BX-500 infrared tem-perature calibrator is ideal for calibrating non-contact infrared thermometers up to 500°C with temperature controlled black-body target with a diameter of 57mm as well as fixed emissivity of 0.95. It offers a wide field of view to compensate for op-tical variations in individual infrared thermometers. Designed with ease of use in mind, simply set the desired temper-ature in increments of 0.1°, wait for the calibrator to attain equilibrium, point the infrared thermometer at the target and measure the radiated energy. The contact RTD reference well is located directly behind the black-body target to assure even higher accuracies of +/–0.1°C.ITM Instruments Inc.

BELT CONVEYORSThe Automation Series low profile belt conveyors feature a Tension Release Tail that makes belt changes and under-belt cleaning fast and easy. The Tension Re-lease Tail operates at the push of a button to relieve tension on the belt by quickly flipping up and out of the way. No tools are required, making it easy for an oper-ator to release the tension for cleaning under the belt. The tail reseats, reapplying tension, with a gentle push. Its unique de-sign retains all tension and tracking equip-ment adjustments when tension is relieved and reapplied. The tail uses a completely separate mechanism for relieving the ten-sion than it uses for making tension and tracking adjustments. The Tension Release Tail is standard on all Automation Series conveyors, including AS40 End Drive and AS65 Center Drive conveyors.

A bad choice could cost you thousands!Look Familiar?When hot weather causes the electronics inside a control cabinet to fail, there is a panic to get the machinery up and running again.Th e operator might choose to simply open the panel door and aim a fan at the circuit boards. In reality, the fan ends up blowing a lot of hot, humid, dirty air at the electronics where the cooling eff ect is minimal. If the machinery starts functioning again,the likelihood of repeated failure is great since the environment is stillhot (and threatens permanentdamage to the circuit boards). Worse yet, that open panel door is an OSHA violation that presents a shock hazard to personnel.
The Real Solution!Stop electronic downtime with an EXAIR Cabinet Cooler®! Th e complete line of low cost Cabinet Coolers are in stock and can ship now. Th ey mount in minutes through an ordinary electrical knockout and have no moving parts to wear out. Th ermostat control to minimize compressed air use is available for all models.

The Secret To Keeping Electronics Cool!

“It took us three days to get a replacement computer cabinet and we didn’t want to risk another heat failure. Fans weren’t an option since they would just blow around a lot of hot air. Freon-type air conditioners like those on some of our other machines were a constant maintenance project of their own. We purchased EXAIR’s Model 4330 NEMA 12 Cabinet Cooler

Toshiba GE Turbine Components (TGTC) has reduced the time re-quired to inspect and measure steam
turbine blades from 280 minutes to 45 minutes by using the MAXOS non-contact measurement system from Steintek GmbH and their distributor NVision Inc. The co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) used in the past to inspect the blades was not only slow but was unable to access hard-to-reach areas such as dovetail hooks and fillets. The MAXOS uses five axes to reach every point on the blades and also gener-ates specific and accurate measurements of critical areas. Resulting measurements are reported instantly and the need for addi-tional manual inspection is limited.
“The MAXOS optical scanner provides the best possible accuracy, eliminates the need for matt coating, and integrates eas-ily with our engineering and production processes,” said Tomio Kubota, President of TGTC. “Our trials also demonstrated that MAXOS is significantly faster than the other systems that we considered. The expertise and professionalism that were evident during this trial gave us the confidence to adopt this new technology.” TGCT is a joint venture that combines the production expertise of Toshiba and General Electric to produce large blades ranging from 660 to 1320mm for steam turbines at cutting-edge manufacturing facilities. The company’s annual produc-tion of blades is sufficient to generate the equivalent of eight to ten gigawatts of electricity.
In the past, it took longer to inspect blades than it took to make them. A tur-bine bucket is comprised of an airfoil and a root. The long blades have mid-span geometry that provides support for the midsection of the airfoil.
The complex geometry of these blades means that many cross-sections must be examined. The conventional 3-D CMM used in the past to inspect the blades was unable to reach many points on the root. Also many fillet radii are inaccessible to the CMM or too small to be measured by touch probe ball.
The MAXOS uses a proprietary non-contact probe consisting of a concentrated light that collects individual points at a rate of 100 per second, many times faster than a CMM. Unlike laser or white light fringe scanners, the MAXOS can inspect turbine blades without having to apply a matt coating that introduces dimensional inaccuracy. The MAXOS provides ac-curacy of +/-0.0004” and a resolution between measured points down to 0.0002” on this project. The system can be pro-vided with a resolution as low as 0.0001”. The MAXOS software is configured with an overall best fit of the measured geom-etry to allow a part with some error to fit within the overall tolerance envelope of the reference data. Win3DS Blade inspec-tion software is configured to give fast results and different kind of evaluations on mid-span, fillets, gaps and airfoils. Different best fits are available, including Gauss and Chebyshev.
In this application, the MAXOS was configured with a 5-axis horizontal arm with three linear axes and two rotary axes. One rotary axis is for the sensor and the other for positioning the blade. The rotary axes are servo-controlled and are not indexed. This configuration makes it possible to measure every part of the blade even when it is mounted vertically. Vertical mounting is preferred for the long blades because it prevents them from bending under their own weight. The MAXOS does not require highly accurate fixturing of the blade because it scans the roots as an alignment procedure.NVision

the NI PCIe-8361, to connect our PXI rack to a PC. The NI-PCIe-8361 features 110MB/s sustained throughput and provides a transparent link where all PXI modules appear as a PCI board within the PC itself. MAX services simplified the setup process. Our developers quickly assembled and set up the PXI system fully and took measure-ments sooner than we expected. We thought the out-of-box experience would take several days but were pleased to find that we had the system running within a few hours.
The LabVIEW SolutionThe large number of sensors combined with the wide range of possible products to test presented us with a challenge in designing an intuitive user interface for operators. We considered this carefully because this client had no other equipment in its facility that was this complex. As a production line tester, this equipment had to be robust, simple, ac-
curate, and safe to operate.To assist in the software design phase
and reduce overall programming time, our developers used the LabVIEW State Diagram Tool Kit so they could concurrently visualize program architecture and develop code. With the LabVIEW State Diagram Tool Kit, Sci-Mech developers could share machine oper-ation concepts with Sci-Mech management and the client. With this design technique, we could spot potential problems and Sci-Mech was able to improve on the original design concepts without losing any development time.
We also used NI Motion Assist to set up the initial motion profiles. This tool helped us save hours of development time and was very useful in the initial setup of our servo motors. We could safely check the accel-eration and deceleration ramp profiles and overall velocities of the automotive seat test-ing system before program implementation.
We designed this product to test two prod-
ucts independently but potentially all at the same time. This presented a challenge for our developers to produce a GUI that displayed all relevant controls and data acquisition details in a format that new operators could easily navigate and understand. The LabVIEW front panel controls, specifically the “tabs” on the main GUI, gave us easy access to all the relevant test and diagnostic information and provided pass-word-protected access to the setup parameters.
We selected a dual-core desktop PC to communicate with the NI PXI-1042 seven-slot PXI chassis. With a dual-core PC, we took full advantage of the built-in parallel-ism of LabVIEW and created a powerful ap-plication that consumed only moderate CPU resources and left plenty of overhead for the operating system and other applications that our client may choose to run.Sci-Mech Technical Services Inc.

The Challenge
Developing a rugged load- and displacement-controlled system — that interfaces with servo motors, load
cells, and encoders and connects to Windows OS platform databases, printers, networks, remote access software, bar code printers, and bar code readers — for the online production testing of automotive seat frames.
The SolutionUsing NI LabVIEW software and NI mo-tion products combined with PXI technol-ogy to provide a cost-effective solution for production line testing that recognizes, via bar code, different products and tests them against appropriate parameters.
Our client produces automotive seat-ing components for leading automotive manufacturers. Its parts must meet the highest quality standards and be 100 percent functionally tested before shipping. In this particular case, we measured and recorded precise displacement parameters on every automobile seat part.
Our client required a timely and cost-effective solution for production line testing on several of its automotive seating products. The test needed to recognize, via bar code, different products and test them against the appropriate parameters.
This project required a test fixture that was flexible — able to test multiple product types fast — meet a predetermined cycle time comprehensive — able to test for vari-ables and attribute data, and intuitive — able to allow for inexperienced operators to use with confidence.
We, at Sci-Mech Technical Services Inc., chose LabVIEW and NI motion products combined with a desktop PC and a remote PXI rack for controls and data acquisition.
Because we had a large number of parts to test, we developed an auto-eject system that automatically removed a tested product from tooling. This streamlined workflow so that an operator could load and begin testing on a new seat frame while the previously tested frame was ready for packing. This design reduced unnecessary operator steps and significantly reduced cycle time.
Test System DesignDue to the high digital channel counts required for this project, a desktop alone could not support the required number of PCI boards so we selected an NI PXI remote chassis to perform the extensive data acquisi-tion and to communicate to the PC-based controller. We also used two NI PXI-6511 industrial digital input modules, which provided 128 bank-isolated 24 V inputs. With bank isolation, we could connect our sensors directly to save assembly time, reduce circuit complexity, and decrease cost. In addition, we used two NI PXI-6512 industrial digital I/O modules for the 128 bank-isolated digital outputs, meaning that we could connect to devices directly to the module’s breakout box without having to put every signal through an optical isolator. With so many channels, this saved us not only setup time but also panel space.
We also used an NI PXI-6220 analog input module that offers full 16-bit resolu-tion at 250 kS/s. This was ideal because our client’s specifications required very precise load measurements. We used an NI PXI-6602 counter-timer module to capture data from positional encoders, providing us with eight channels, each with a full 32-bit resolution. To control the four servo motors of the system, we used an NI-7340 four-axis motion controller. Full driver integration with the NI Measurement & Automation (MAX) configuration utility offered an interactive GUI for both setup and trouble-shooting.
Finally, we used a MXI-Express link,
