NEWS IN BRIEF 4 News 28 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 52 Products IMPRINT/ADVERTISERS 54 List of Suppliers 75 Imprint 3 NEWS JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY RIH is major shareholder of Helios T he Helios group with headquarters in Domžale near Ljubljana, Slovenia, is one of the 15 largest coatings producers in Europe and, since 3 April 2014, has had a new majority shareholder: the Austrian Remho Beteiligungs GmbH, the parent company of the entire Coating Division of “Ring” International Holding AG (RIH). With this step, the young industrial group has succeeded in acquiring the first company from a long list of planned privatisations in Slovenia. After a sales process lasting two-and-a-half years, the closing of the deal saw 77.93 % of the shares in the Slovenian coatings giant transferred to the industrial group. The acquisition expands the RIH workforce to 3,600 staff, who generate sales of around €530 million. Every year, 24 The headquarters of the Helios Group in Domžale near Ljubljana, Slovenia sites produce around 100,000 tons of liquid and powder coatings as well as 140,000 tons of resins and almost 110,000 tons of decorative coatings, and they also process 30,000 tonnes of steel. This makes the group one of the largest European coatings producers. Bayer expands production for coating raw materials in China B ayer MaterialScience is increasing its production capacities in the Asia/Pacific region to meet the continued growth in demand there for raw materials for coatings and adhesives. The ground-breaking ceremony was held at the site in Shanghai, China, for a new plant for the production of the precursor hexamethylene diiso- cyanate (HDI). With an annual capacity of 50,000 metric tons, it will be the one of the largest facilities of its kind in the world. Completion is scheduled for 2016. Bayer already has one HDI plant in Shanghai, which was expanded in 2013 from its original annual capacity of 30,000 metric tons. There is considerable demand in the region, and in particular in China, for coatings and adhesives, which are used in the automotive industry, among others. The new plant will utilise gas-phase technology, which requires substantially less energy and solvent than conventional processes. Shanghai is one of Bayer’s largest production sites worldwide. Automated carriage coating at the new Siemens surface treatment centre in Vienna A t the surface treatment centre of Siemens AG Austria in Simmering/ Vienna, metro transit and passenger carriages are automatically brought to the designated booths by a central transport system. The general contractor for the project is the German plant engineering company Vollert. One of the unique features of the new system is that the transfer platform can move carriages onto and off the track on both sides, so that the processing stations can be arranged in parallel on both sides. For the first time in Europe, painting robots are used to coat the carriages with waterborne coatings. 4 The movable transport platform allows a particularly flexible arrangement of the individual work stations Since April 2013, the surface treatment centre has been used to coat metro transit carriages for the cities of Vien- na, Munich and Warsaw, as well is to paint passenger carriages for the Russian and Czech railways.

The Geomet 321 coating is applied with a thickness of 15 µm. For this application, the wind power plant manufacturer requires that the coating must be able to exist in a C5 environment (according to ISO-12944) without corrosion of the substrate material even after a 1440-hour salt spray test. At the same time, GE Power & Water, a subsidiary of General Electric, has approved the zinc flake systems Geomet and Geoblack in its latest standard Zinc flake systems protect the fasteners of wind turbine blades against corrosion in maritime and offshore environments P14A-AL-0218. Specific requirements such as 1000 hours salt spray resistance (according to ASTM-B117 or ISO9227) were met and mechanical damage tests were convincing. In addition to these new standards, the systems Geomet 321+Plus VLh and Geomet 500+PLUS XL have been certified by the institute Germanischer Lloyd regarding the corrosion protection of fasteners in oceanic and offshore atmosphere with high salinity levels (C5-M high according to ISO-12944). This means a salt spray resistance of 1440 up to 2016 hours without the appearance of red rust. BASF expands production of waterborne automotive coatings in Brazil B ASF has invested €2.5 million in its Demarchi coatings site, located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, to expand its capacity to service Brazil’s automotive industry with waterborne automotive coatings. The goal is to meet market demands generated by new car makers setting up their plants in the country and by the trend of using waterborne technology rather than solvent-borne. In 2013, Brazil was the fourth biggest car sales market in the world and in seventh place worldwide as a car producer, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA).

KG www.freilacke.com 7 LIQUID COATING JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY Improving Processes for Greater Efficiency Atomising Paint Effectively using Nitrogen The positive results of atomising paint with nitrogen have already been demonstrated, as the process has been used in a range of different volume production applications. Major savings can be made in particular by adjusting the process parameters to meet individual requirements. A tomising paint with nitrogen is now a well-established process for applying liquid coatings. The next step is to take the procedure further, with one example being the NitroSpray pro- cess developed by Oltrogge. This essentially involves atomising the paint with nitrogen using a combination of ionisation and heat, in contrast to the normal compressed air process. Nitrogen Compressed air versus nitrogen: the picture shows the use of the atomising process to reduce the occurrence of orange peel (left compressed air, right nitrogen). Using nitrogen to prevent thick edges (left compressed air, right nitrogen). 8 enables the paint to be atomised more finely, which helps to ensure that the spray pattern is more even and to reduce overspray. The technology can be used with all paint atomising processes and for all types of liquid coatings. The second major advantage over compressed air atomisation is the absolute purity of nitrogen. It contains no impurities of any kind which could damage the paint, such as oil from the compressor or particles sucked in from the compressor or the pipes. Benefits of heating and ionising The atomising gas is warmed in a heated pipe and this has a positive influence on the viscosity of the paint and on the atomising process. The temperature can be continuously adjusted. The integrated ionisation system enables the atomising gas to be positively or negatively charged to any level. This means that the electrostatic charge of the paint particles can be adjusted to match the electrostatic charge of the components being painted. The most significant savings and the best results are always achieved when users are involved in the development of the process and monitor the results closely, from the initial test through to the subsequent trial phase. All the relevant existing painting parameters are evaluated and documented, in order to allow changes resulting from the nitrogen tests to be identified. If users have specific requirements for resolving problems such as orange peel, runs, thick edges or blistering, the test set-up can be designed accordingly. JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 Productivity is the objective The use of nitrogen in combination with ionisation and heating allows more paint to be applied (left compressed air, right nitrogen). Installation diagram showing the machine and the application system. In contrast, if there is a need to shorten the application time or the drying time in order to achieve greater application efficiency or to reduce the number of coats, a different test set-up will be required. In a number of different projects it has been possible to reduce the number of coats, for example, from three to two or from two to one. This allows for very interesting improvements in efficiency. The additional advantages lie in the reduction in material and waste disposal costs resulting from the higher levels of application efficiency and also involve productivity and quality benefits.

The device takes its supply of cleaning agent directly from the original barrel which dispenses with the need to transfer the agent to smaller containers. D isposable cup systems for mixing and applying paint have significantly simplified the workf lows in paint shops. Special cleaning systems for spray guns, such as the Sata clean RCS and Sata clean RCS compact, have been developed to save even more time. The clean RCS is recommended for mounting in the spray booth to avoid unnecessary activity during colour changes. In contrast, the clean RCS compact is intended for use inside the mixing room or outside the spray booth, as it can be connected directly to large containers of cleaning agent. The same is true of the new clean RCS micro, the latest addition to Sata’s range of cleaning devices, which has a highly compact design. Cleaning in 20 seconds The new device allows the cleaning agent to be taken directly from the original container. The use of conventional large barrels significantly increases the time between changeovers, when compared with the standard cleaning device (clean RCS), because the agent does not need to be transferred to smaller containers. The paint channel and the air nozzle can be cleaned within only 20 seconds leaving absolutely no residues. This short amount of time is even sufficient for critical colour changes, for example from black to white. This is due to the special, non-damaging cleaning process used, which is known as cavitation cleaning and is a feature of all of the cleaning devices in the man- The new device allows spray guns to be cleaned using cleaning products taken directly from the original container. 10 ufacturer’s range. It enables good results to be achieved even with standard cleaning agents. No costly special products are needed. In addition, the cleaning system is highly cost-effective, because it is easy to use and almost maintenance-free. Simple and safe to operate Users find it easy to position the spray gun in the device. The flexible cleaning nozzle and spring-mounted cleaning brush clean the air nozzle and the gun effectively without causing any damage. Before the cleaning process, the gun is connected to a compressed air supply so that cleaning agent cannot penetrate into the air ducts. This ensures that no deposits build up and a blow drying device prevents corrosion from forming on the body of the gun. A suction pipe available as an accessory extracts vapours from the cleaning system before they can reach the working area. The cleaning system is fitted with a quick connector for the spray guns that are being cleaned, a spray protection device and a practical storage area for cups on top of the system. It is suitable for use with all types of spray guns which have gravity feed cups. Contact: Sata GmbH & Co.

For many years now, one of the most important requirements of the German automobile industry is the topcoat Plus VL, applied on the basecoat Geomet 321 which combines excellent anticorrosion performances and perfect tightening control at a very competitive price. Long before the implementation of the European directive concerning the recycling of end-of-life vehicles (2000/53/CE), NOF Metal Coatings Group, only supplier of zinc flake anti-corrosion coatings whose chemical compounds are in an aqueous phase and contain only a few Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), offered completely chromium-free (chrome VI and III) solutions under the trademark Geomet. Approved by Volkswagen since 2004 At the same time, topcoats also were developed with improved anticorrosion performances and close control of friction coefficients. However, the increased use of cataphoretic coated steel showed new problems when tightening such as stick-slip. Volkswagen transformed this into new testing procedures that detect potential problems better in real assembly situations: — pre-tightening at 200 rpm and final tightening at 20 rpm consecutive tightening — loosening at 150°C — new internal standard VW 01131 was published and some tightening criteria included in the VDA235-203 standard. Geomet 321 + PLUS VL became the most widely used zinc flake system in Germany and Europe thanks to a network of highly qualified applicators united by the unique quality system of the NOF Metal Coatings Group. Materials evolution and precise tightening conditions Today an important number of assemblies are made with increased rotation speeds but also with a torque-angle sequence procedure. Certain bolt geometries, in combination with volume produced e-coat surfaces, may present a higher tendency for stick-slip occurance. Most importantly, however, the obligation to decrease vehicle weights led to an increased use of light materials such as aluminum either for the bearing surface of the screw but also for the thread tapped into large parts where the threaded length is larger than 2.5 times the thread diameter of the screw. © NOF T Fasteners coated with the new coating system If in automated production processes the preload varies or sometimes is even out of tolerance, this may become critical for security relevant assemblies such as chassis and suspension parts. To provide more precise requirements Volkswagen has included in the last version of the standard 01131-1/2: — 5 consecutive tightening onto e-coat surfaces — an assembly onto aluminum with a torque exceeding the yield point. The new coating system provides a uniform preload force in the case of consecutive tightening into aluminium As a result, Plus VL was tested and approved by Volkswagen in 2004 after industrial trials on different types of fasteners (flange, washer). In 2006, the 12 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 — a list of reference parts (bolts, nuts, aluminum and e-coat plates) from a sole supplier Other car manufacturers have emphasized their own internal test procedures to make sure the friction behavior fulfi lls the complex requirements of real assembly situations. Plus VLh: the standard for consecutive tightening NOF Metal Coatings Group decided to improve the Plus VL, which already showed excellent results, by taking into account these new requirements. The Plus VLh solves the problems mentioned on assembled, cataphoretically pre-coated surfaces but above all provides exceptional tightening results on and into aluminum and even aluminum critical assemblies. Th is topcoat is applied under the same technical conditions, temperatures etc. as its predecessor. The coat uses the same IMDS number, as the optimization of the properties was achieved by a very subtle evolution of Plus VL. All product characteristics such as nominal friction value, corrosion resistance or the influence on dimensional tolerances remain unchanged and as a consequence, the new topcoat Plus VLh can easily be used as a complete replacement of the existing solutions. Industrial line trials at Volkswagen and Daimler proved the general usability of Plus VLh and also its capability to solve the most critical tightening circumstances. The torque values remained in the specified range and the torque-angle sequence procedure showed a significantly lower variation and better repeatability of the final load. Since the end of 2013, Plus VLh is used according to the Volkswagen (TL245 t647) and Daimler (DBL 9440.40) standards. Other carmakers are currently testing this topcoat in order to include it in their technical anticorrosion/tightening standards in the near future. Unique performances even in offshore atmosphere Business sectors such as offshore, wind power and building are also very interested in this system. Indeed, Geomet 321 + Plus VLh was certified by the institute Germanischer Lloyd who confirmed corrosion resistance according to DIN EN ISO 12944-6 :1998, C5-M High, 1440 hours extended to 2016 hours after salt spray tests. Th is shows excellent performances in marine and offshore atmospheres. Plus VLh is already applied in serial production by a worldwide Geomet licensed applicator.

VarioBell and VarioCharger – compatible with all paint robots. www.eisenmann.com JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 13 LIQUID COATING JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY Automotive Supplier Relies on Efficient Pump Technology High-Performance Double Diaphragm Pump in the Paint Shop A leading automotive supplier has invested in highperformance pump technology for coating bumpers. With this investment, the company achieves a long service life for the pumps and can at the same time ensure high process reliability and energy efficiency. A s a leading global automotive supplier, Magna has 315 production sites and 82 centres for product development, engineering and sales in 29 countries. The Magna Exteriors plant in Obertshausen, Germany, produces bumper systems for the automotive industry. In 2011, the decision was made to build a new paint shop to meet the highest, state-of-the-art demands with regard to performance, efficiency, economy and environmental compatibility. A painting line from the company Lactec from Rodgau was chosen. The pump technology for pumping the special paint was supplied by the company Timmer-Pneumatik. Around 40 colour changes take place during each shift. To ensure that the painting robots are able to operate, the paint must be delivered at a pressure of around 8 to 10 bar. This is the basic requirement for the compressed air diaphragm pump which is used in such painting lines. The pressure required is produced by a 3:1 double diaphragm pump from Timmer. The energy source and driving medium for the pump is the factory’s normal compressed air system. High start-up reliability An important criterion in selecting the right pump is start-up reliability. If the 14 An automotive supplier invested in high-performance and low-pulsation pump technology for painting bumpers Double diaphragm pump used to supply special colours. A new type of valve ensures high start-up reliability. JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 painting robot, for example, changes to a new colour, there is a brief moment during which the robot is not spraying any paint. Accordingly, the pump stops as soon as the pressure equilibrium has been achieved. If this pump standstill occurs in an unfavourable position, this can result in start-up problems in conventional pumps when paint is suddenly required by the robot again. An important new development therefore concerns the pump’s reversing valve, which has been newly designed as a low-wear, ceramic f lat slide valve and, in combination with the spring-loaded valve, ensures the start-up reliability of the double diaphragm pump even at pressures of below 1 bar. The situation becomes more complex when the bumpers need to be painted in a new colour. As the paint materials are expensive and there is a need to protect the environment, Magna therefore aims at minimising paint losses and using cleaning agents as economically as possible. For that reason, during colour changes the paint is first transferred back to the paint container by a pig. This ensures that the paint that is still in the pipe system can be almost completely reused. Significant reduction in cleaning time Pig technology, however, cannot be used in the pump itself or in any pulsation dampers that may be installed. The new valve technology used in the pump means that it has such low pulsation that no pulsation dampers are required. As a result, only the amount of paint that finally remains in the pump is actually lost. The Timmer 3:1 double diaphragm pump has a very small chamber volume (approximately 200 ml) relative to the pumping performance and at the same time has a favourable geometry. This means that paint loss here is very low. Only approximately 80 ml of paint remain in the chamber even when the pump has been separated from the paint container and the remaining paint has been pumped off. In addition to paint recovery, complete cleaning of paint residues from JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 the system is important. After pigging, there are still small amounts of paint left in the pipe and in the pump. These are dissolved by using suitable cleaning agents and are flushed from the system. This process should take place as quickly as possible in order to minimise time losses during colour changes. Unlike conventional products, the new pump has a high double stroke frequency due to its reversing valve, thus minimising cleaning time. As the pump must also remove the cleaning agent from the pipe system, the pump should be capable of dry running. This is not always the case with all pumps on the market. In contrast to the Timmer pump, the diaphragm in some competitor pumps can suffer permanent damage as a result. Perfection in every detail Summary and conclusion These double diaphragm pumps are compact, process-reliable, energy-saving and low-maintenance pumps with ATEX certification even for difficult conditions. A particular feature is the pump’s long service life. In addition to the general advantages of the pump, there are also specific benefits for painting applications, such as the pump’s high dry-running capability, low pulsation, low chamber volume and high double stroke frequency.

Service providers support car manufacturers in improving the quality and productivity of the entire paint shop. T he finishing process is one of the most complicated – and also one of the most expensive –processes in a car’s production chain. Many different chemical, physical and mechanical procedures need to be perfectly mastered in order to achieve an optimum result. And there are also many influencing factors that can either impair or optimise the process. As a specialised service provider, Voith Industrial Services has taken on the task of advising car manufacturers in this activity and supporting them with a wide range of services. From cleaning to paint defect analysis The most effective way of achieving cost savings in the finishing process is to reduce unit costs by avoiding paint defects. Frequent sources of defects are contaminants such as fibres, abrasion products from conveyor systems or ex- cess overspray. However, cleaning processes, workers and the workpieces themselves can also be a source of dirt contamination. In order to eliminate these sources of defects in the long term, it is important to analyse the dirt contamination and to introduce corresponding preventive measures. For this purpose, Voith Industrial Services has developed a tool called Paint Defect Analysis (PDA). It is based on a program that was developed to analyse, classify and determine the origin of contaminants. There are various models for implementing the PDA system in the paint shop. This optimisation method at its most effective when it is performed continuously and parallel to production. A service technician from Voith is either permanently on site or visits the production process at regular intervals in order to analyse any defects that may have occurred. The op- erator then receives a report that provides clear suggestions on eliminating the source of the defect. Objective: optimisation of the painting process Furthermore, there is also the possibility to train the operator’s workforce in using the Paint Defect Analysis system. The objective is to optimise the painting process with regard to reducing rework rates, increasing plant availability and cutting operating costs. The PDA system is also frequently the starting point for a package of measures aimed at improving the first run rate and which is tailor-made to the customer. This package consists of optimised cleaning of the painting equipment and measures to generally avoid dirt contamination. These may take the form of organisational measures but can also include technical modification or optimisation of the existing paint shop. Technical plant cleaning is one of the basic tasks performed by industrial service providers in paint shops. Here, the sensitive application equipment of a painting robot is undergoing expert intermediate cleaning. 16 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 An industrial service provider for the automotive industry Voith is a globally active technology group operating in a wide variety of markets. Its operative business is pooled in four Group Divisions: Voith Paper, Voith Hydro, Voith Turbo and Voith Industrial Services. The largest division of Voith Industrial Services is Automotive. More than 14,000 employees support the processes of the international Voith customers in the automotive industry. According to the company, it is the world market leader in technical services for paint shops and provides continuous support for more than 90 painting lines worldwide. Independent of the PDA system, regular technical cleaning of the finishing equipment is one of the measures with which operators can ensure reproducible quality of the paint finish. Cleaning the increasingly complex equipment requires a detailed understanding of all processes. The specialists from Voith Industrial Services are precisely familiar with the requirements and can ensure the continuous availability of the finishing lines by applying fast, non-harmful processes. Technical plant cleaning is a typical on-site service. In addition, how- Service providers also operate complete painting lines or self-contained sub-sections of a paint shop.

Intelligent maintenance ensures availability The step from Paint Defect Analysis and special technical plant cleaning to plant maintenance is not a small one but it is still only one step. Voith Industrial Services offers tailor-made maintenance concepts for many areas of car production, including and in particular for paint shops. The aim is to co- operate with the customer to minimise downtime and optimise maintenance processes. On request, Voith can take responsibility for the complete maintenance of all machines and equipment required for production. This ranges from conveyor systems and painting robots to complete painting lines. A good example of this comprehensive service is the online and offline maintenance of a paint shop for a car manufacturer in Brazil.

The image shows maintenance work on a painting robot during a non-production period. assurance, it is now on plant optimisation, continuous improvement and further development, including, for example, the use of new materials and paints. Build Operate Transfer remains common practice A further focus is on the operation of complete paint shops or self-contained sub-sections of a painting line. As long ago as 2008, Voith planned a paint shop in Slovakia for one of Europe’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers, which it put into operation in 2009. At this plant, add-on parts for commercial vehicles are electrocoated and powder coated on behalf of customers. A throughput time of less than 36 hours per job enabled the customer to drastically reduce logistics costs. From the customer’s perspective, the Build Operate Transfer concept offers the advantage that customers can concentrate on their core business, as the complete process reliability lies with the operator. The package of services is rounded off by clear interfaces between the operator and the custom- er as well as full service provision for the plant, including plant cleaning and maintenance. On request, the customers’ painting lines can also be used for third-party orders, thus improving the utilisation of the line’s capacity. Voith has recently taken on responsibility for equipping an electrocoat line for an automotive supplier. Such sub-areas are ideally suited for a Build Operate Transfer model. These also include, for example, filter management for the complete ventilation and exhaust systems, the paint supply room with a pump service, paint sludge coagulation or the supply of wax and PVC. Within the framework of a Build Operate Transfer concept, Voith can also take responsibility for logistical tasks such as operating material logistics, including paint removal, or nonproduction tasks such as process data recording and documentation. Integrated solutions are in demand The fact that there is a great demand for such services in the automotive industry is shown not only by the experience and business development of Voith, but also by the statistics. At approximately 32 percent (in 2012), “Maintenance” makes up by far the largest percentage of the industrial service provider’s sales. Customers are increasingly asking for integrated solutions and often hand over entire service units to the service provider, thus enabling them to concentrate on their core processes. Within the range of services, the second largest percentage is the technical cleaning of plant and machines (approximately 10 percent), followed by “Engineering” (approximately 9 percent). Consulting services play a secondary role. The subject of “Integrated Services” remains important. Services provided from a single source are still in great demand among customers of industrial service companies. Production partner Specialist staff check the filters in a spot repair booth. 18 Modern service providers for automotive paint shops have meanwhile become more of a partner for the production process than a pure supplier. In many areas, they support value-cre- JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 ating processes and serve as an innovator and mediator for new technologies. In order to further advance this development, Voith Industrial Services established its “Integrated Paint Services” (IPS) business unit in 2012 with the aid of combining all services relating to the painting process – from process and plant planning to the operation of complete painting lines. IPS is centred around a core team of painting experts. Specialists from the different sites can support the core team at any time. In this way, Voith can combine the expert knowledge that it has gained worldwide in order to make it available to the customer. Beyond the limits of service provision The formation of the IPS business unit shows that the business field and range of services of an industrial service provider is being continuously expanded and is moving towards integrated service packages. A few years ago, for example, it was still unthinkable for service providers to carry out the maintenance of an automotive painting line on their own responsibility. Today, it has already become a reality and there are many other areas in which service providers can support the OEM in the paint shop without a product losing its identity. If the development of recent years is taken a step further, it is absolutely conceivable that a service provider will take responsibility for operating a complete vehicle painting line. The knowledge required to do this is certainly already available. If one takes all the individual services provided by Voith and combines them, this can result in an interesting approach towards future projects – particularly in regions in which car manufacturers do not have or do not want to build up their own resources and competences. solid&powerful pumps pumps and more Electric drum pumps Pneumatic drum pumps Manual hand pumps Dosing pumps for high viscous media Horizontal and vertical eccentric screw pumps Pneumatic diaphragm-pumps Filling system for exact dosing JESSBERGER GER GmbH Jaegerweg 5 D-85521 Ottobrunn Telefon +49 (0 ) 89 - 66 66 33 400 Telefax +49 (0 ) 89 - 66 66 33 411 [email protected] www.jesspumpen.de Contact: Voith Industrial Services GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany, Tel. +49 711 7841 485, [email protected], www.voith.de/Automotive JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 19 POWDER COATING JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY Increasing Cost-Effectiveness New Application System Provides Consistent Powder Output The key features of a newly developed pump for applying powder coatings are its compact design, high levels of cost-effectiveness, constant powder flow and low maintenance requirements. The pump has been designed specifically for users who expect a large and consistent powder output and high-quality coatings in multiple colours. P quality, reproducible coatings across multiple shifts. “During the development of the OptiSpray AP01, we had the specific requirements of manufacturers of aluminium profiles, large components, white goods and automotive parts in mind. The new pump is particularly suited to applications which have a high powder consumption, use long hoses or need constant coating quality over long production cycles. In all other areas, injector technology will still be our first choice for transporting the powder to the gun,” explains Roman Mlakar, product manager at Gema Switzerland GmbH. Slim, low-maintenance design One significant feature of the application pump is its slim design. It takes up no more space than an injector, which means that it can easily be integrated into a system. The new pump is currently the most compact of its kind on the market and can be installed horizontally or vertically. The pump offers other benefits: “Our main focus in the development process was on achieving a consistent powder output. Other types of system require daily adjustment because their parts are subjected to heavy wear. The OptiSpray AP01 has no wear parts of this kind, which enables it to offer high Pictures: Gema umps have been used in electrostatic powder coating processes for some years, but until now the complex design and high maintenance level of the pumps available have prevented them from becoming a common component of powder coating systems. Gema Switzerland GmbH has successfully employed powder pumps for transporting powder within a coating system for a long time. On the basis of its experience in this area, the company has developed a new powder pump (OptiSpray AP01). It is used for applying the powder and is aimed specifically at users who require high- Because of its slim design, the new powder pump can easily be integrated into powder coating systems. It also offers powder savings of up to 15 percent. 20 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 The new powder management system brings together all the pumping and control components in a very small space. levels of reproducibility over a very long period,” says Roman Mlakar. Cost-effective and non-damaging The powder pump is based on Gema’s SIT (smart inline technology) principle, which involves a completely linear powder flow. In contrast to other systems, in which the powder changes direction within the pump by up to 180 degrees, this allows for gentle handling of the powder and makes the automatic colour changes simpler and cleaner. The low speed at which the powder moves ensures that sensitive powders are processed carefully and not damaged during the transport process. Integrating the pump into the OptiCenter OC03 powder management system results in very short suction pipes, which in turn leads to a significantly improved and more consistent powder output. The new pump can maintain a constant output of between 50 and 300 g/min. The direct supply of atomising air at the powder gun (OptiGun GA03-P) enables the powder cloud to be precisely adjusted, which is particularly useful for powder coaters with high quali- JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 ty standards. Together with the consistent powder output, this allows powder savings of up to 15 percent. In summary, the OptiSpray AP01 is a highly versatile component which can increase the cost-effectiveness of the powder coating process. Positive experiences in practice One of Europe’s largest furniture manufacturers has been using the new powder pumping system for some time. The company has thoroughly tested the new product and found that its powder handling and maintenance levels remain impressive even after six months. “Throughout the entire period, we achieved a constant powder output, consistent film thicknesses and reproducible coating results. This guarantees that our coatings are of a consistently high quality, which is essential to us as a manufacturer of furniture in the premium segment,” says the head of the company’s coating department. Identical design and operating concept One of the main characteristics of the latest generation of Gema application systems is their compact design. This applies to every component in the system, including the devices used to transport the powder from the container, the powder management system (OptiCenter OC03), which comes with the new pumps and pump control modules (OptiStar CG12-CP), and the most recent generation of automatic spray guns (OptiGun GA03-P). All the components of the new application systems have an identical design and operating concept, whether the injector technology or the application pump. In combination with modern rapid-colour-change booths (with Equiflow technology), the integrated system offers a constant flow of powder, consistent coating thicknesses, high levels of reproducibility and fast, clean colour changes.

The possibility of using lower curing temperatures with standard powders is very high on the wish list of many powder coating companies. IST carried out a survey of leading coating manufacturers to find out about their views on the subject and the solutions they offer. T systems cure at much lower temperatures than standard powders, but over the same period of time. Lowering the curing temperature cuts the consumption of oil, gas or electricity (in the case of electric ovens), but is reducing the temperature also the key to increased cost-effectiveness? The combination of the time and the temperature is crucial All the powder manufacturers in the survey emphasise that the focus should not only be on the curing temperature, but also on the combination of time and temperature. “It is of little use for a coating company to cure a powder at 140°C, but for a period of at least 30 minutes,” says the representative of one German manufacturer. In addition, simply reducing the curing temperature only brings finan- cial benefits if the oven can be operated permanently at the lower setting and the throughput of the substrate is correspondingly high. Specialist coating companies in particular are not able to adjust their oven settings constantly in order to select the right temperature for each powder. This is not possible because of the slow response of the oven and the time needed to make the adjustments. Companies that coat their own products in-house do have the potential to lower their energy costs by reducing the oven temperature, because the process is simpler and involves a consistent range of parts and colours. The other option is to keep the curing oven at the temperature needed for standard systems. If low-temperature powders are cured within this temperature range, they cross-link much more © ebm-papst he first question to ask is which products can be considered to be “standard powders”. The powder manufacturers Axalta (formerly DuPont), Brillux, FreiLacke, Ganzlin, IGP and Karl Bubenhofer agree that curing temperatures between 160°C and 180°C and a curing time of 10 minutes are characteristic of standard powders. Some other manufacturers classify standard powders as needing a curing time of 10 minutes at a temperature of 200°C. Many coating companies would like to save energy by reducing curing temperatures, but they often do not realise that they are pushing at an open door. Low-temperature powders with curing temperatures in the range of 140°C to 150°C and a curing period of 10 minutes have been available for several years. These highly reactive These fans are coated with an ultra-thin low-temperature powder designed for outdoor use. 22 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 quickly. As the oven is often the bottleneck in the coating system, this increases the production capacity and leads to reduced overall costs. However, it is important to obtain precise information in advance about the processing parameters of the powder in question. In any case, improved productivity can be achieved within the coating system as a result of the increase in the conveyor speed or the reduction in the oven processing time. The low curing temperatures also open up a range of additional applications, such as powder coating on plastic substrates. In addition, in the case of complex assemblies with walls of varying thicknesses, reducing the peak temperature can lower the risk of over-curing (yellowing). Why are low-temperature powders not widely used? Low-temperature powders are the ideal solution for reducing energy consumption and increasing cost-effectiveness. So why are they not more commonly used? What are the reservations about this type of system? One powder manufacturer describes a possible reason for this: “For specialist coating companies in particular, lowering the oven temperature is the exception rather than the rule. Because the various manufacturers produce different types of powder coating, there has been no attempt to standardise the curing temperature at a low level. As a result, the different powders need different oven settings.” Of course, some users with short continuous oven systems have been consistently making use of low-temperature powders for several years. However, the majority have taken the approach that low-temperature powder is a positive development, but they have not fully exploited all its various benefits. Another reservation among users concerns the quality and handling of low-temperature powders. A few years ago there were problems with poor flow and low storage stability, but modern, energy-efficient low-temperature powders are now the equal of standard systems in terms of their technology and JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 After coating the powder is cured at around 160°C. Conventional powders require coating temperatures between 180°C and 200°C. their appearance. The argument that manufacturers offer only a limited range of products is now no longer valid, because powder producers have almost all shades and gloss levels in their portfolios. The only restrictions relate to a few special applications, where the coating is required to be highly weather resistant or easy to clean. A wide range of low-temperature powders is also available for external use and these products come with approvals from quality control bodies such as Qualicoat and GSB. This allows metal profiles and façade components to be coated without problems. The final argument is the slightly higher price of low-temperature powders. Because they are still manufactured in smaller quantities, the pricing structures are different from those of standard powders manufactured on a mass scale. However, one powder manufacturer gives a concise solution to this problem: “If a large volume of low-temperature powder was used, this would definitely have an impact on the pricing. The more users who choose low-temperature powders as their default solution, the closer the prices will get to those of standard powders.” Some companies still believe that low-temperature powders involve a different way of working, new coating parameters and changes to logistics systems. “The only difference relates to the storage of low-temperature powders. It is important to ensure that they are not exposed to direct sunlight or to other sources of heat, because they cross-link much more quickly. Otherwise they can be used in just the same way as standard powders,” says one experienced production manager from a company that has been using lowtemperature powders for several years. Other users confirm that the powder can be processed without the need for any changes and gives reproducible results at all times, including in volume production. Individual consultancy for the perfect solution Low-temperature powder really seems to be the answer to the problem of saving energy. Therefore, one powder manufacturer has made the following call to users: “Coating companies must be brave enough to give low-temperature powders a try. If they do this, then the low-temperature powders of today will become the standard powders of tomorrow.” However, as the effective energy saving potential of low-temperature powder is ultimately the result of a combination of individual production parameters, we strongly recommend that users ask their powder manufacturer of choice for in-depth advice. Most powder manufacturers have efficient energy calculators which allow each individual coating process to be optimised. This will result in reproducible and sustainable energy savings, together with an increase in cost-effectiveness.

W hen companies attempt to achieve even higher standards of parts cleanliness, many find that their existing cleaning systems have reached the limits of their performance. This is why an international supplier to the automotive industry decided to take a new approach as part of the process of extending its gearbox factory. The spotlight was on several machines for cleaning circuit boards for automatic and double-clutch gearboxes before the assembly process in the clean room. Limits on the maximum permitted particle size were very strict, as were the levels of overall residual contamination on the components, which was measured gravimetrically. A sim- ple continuous spray machine was no longer able to meet these requirements. However, a continuous system was still needed to enable the machine to be integrated into the production line. Following a search for a suitable solution to its parts cleaning problem, the company finally chose a machine manufactured by Höckh. Continuous machine for integration into the production process On the basis of its Multiclean-P aqueous single chamber cleaning machine, Höckh developed a customised solution specifically for the customer which could be integrated into the production line with a direct clean room connection. The machine has two cleaning chambers arranged in series. The high throughput of up to eight baskets per hour required by the customer made it necessary to split the process. The clean, dry parts leave the machine opposite the loading area. The first of a total of seven machines for the automotive supplier came into operation at the end of 2013. Fully automatic process including documentation The cast aluminium circuit boards pass through a preliminary cleaning phase after machining. They are subsequently measured and tested and then load- The continuous machine which is responsible for the final cleaning of the circuit boards transports the cleaned parts directly into a clean room for assembly. 24 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 The cleaning machine is designed to be energy efficient and has a large access area for maintenance purposes. ed into special parts holders for final cleaning. An RFID (radio frequency identification) chip on the basket com- municates with the machine and records all the relevant process parameters for the purpose of documenting the batch. The machine loads the parts into the first cleaning chamber, where they undergo an alkaline cleaning process with ultrasonic support and bath agitation, followed by the initial rinse. After a short interim drying phase, the parts move into the second cleaning chamber. There they are rinsed for a second time and then dried in a vacuum before passing along an enclosed conveyor system with a double air lock into the assembly clean room. At the same time the empty parts holders return to the loading area. A large oil trap in the first circuit and a cartridge filter in the main flow and the bypass of each tank are responsible for removing contamination from the cleaning agent. Energy-efficient solution The machines also keep energy consumption to a minimum. The fact that these are enclosed systems without vapour losses results in a significant energy saving when compared with the previous spray machines. In addition, the multi-stage circulation pumps (with a maximum pressure of 8 bar) are fitted with IE-3 motors and frequency converters, as is the dry screw vacuum pump. This allows the performance of the pumps to be adjusted to each individual stage of the process. The tanks, cleaning chambers and pipes are fully insulated to reduce unnecessary energy losses. An energy meter records the actual consumption of the machine and enables the operator to cut energy use even further by means of a range of software options.

JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 www.chemetall.com/gardoflex · [email protected] 25 CLEANING AND PRE-TREATMENT JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY New Solutions for the Engine and Gearbox Manufacturing Process Cleaning Without Spots and Discolouration The sensitive surfaces of components can easily be attacked by cleaning agents, which can lead to discolouration. In order to prevent this problem from occurring, a new cleaning product has been developed that can be used in any interim and final cleaning processes in the engine and gearbox manufacturing process. C leaning procedures in the automotive and supplier industries are becoming increasingly demanding and complex and involve the removal of different types of contamination from components. The use of machining oils must not affect the results of the cleaning process and the appearance and the thickness of the surfaces must not be impaired by the cleaning agent. One example is sensitive aluminium alloys, particularly those with a high proportion of silicon, which are often used to make cylinder heads. They can very easily be attacked by the cleaning product and, as a result, become dark coloured. This discolouration is not only a visual problem, but also leads to faults with optical surface scanning systems and, therefore, to the parts being reworked or rejected. This phenomenon occurs particularly when parts are cleaned at higher temperatures of around 60°C or more and/or exposed to the clean- Components of engines and gearboxes, such as this ball bearing, require precisely the right cleaning agents which do not have a negative impact on the appearance or the thickness of the surfaces. Two newly developed cleaning agents can clean parts without marks forming and allow the parts to be dried quickly. 26 ing agent for more than 15 minutes. This may happen if the machine has to be shut down, for example, which results in the parts remaining in contact with the cleaning solution or being left in the vapour space above the cleaning baths. Rapid drying of parts Chemische Werke Kluthe has developed a new cleaning agent (Hakupur 800) that avoids these problems and prevents spots from forming, parts from being inadequately dried and aluminium and other non-ferrous metals JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 from being attacked, even in unfavourable conditions. The formulation contains no inorganic salts which helps to avoid marks and residues occurring. It contains glycols which have very good wetting properties and ensure that the water film runs off consistently. The result is an even distribution of the corrosion protection film and rapid drying of the component. The combination of glycols guarantees very good cleaning results and wetting across the entire temperature range from 20°C to 60°C, together with effective inhibition of foam, even in high pressure systems. The cleaning agent also has excellent demulsifying properties, which allows oils to be removed from the surface of the liquid by bath maintenance systems. duction shutdowns caused by foam formation can be avoided. The cleaning solutions offer the following benefits: —— can be sprayed cold and under high pressure —— cost-effective and energy saving, can be used at room temperature and above —— contain no boron, phosphate or FAD —— resistant to bacteria —— excellent wetting properties —— free from inorganic salts —— corrosion category 0 at a 2% concentration in accordance with DIN 51360 part 2 —— suitable for use with non-ferrous metals —— demulsifying Summary The newly developed cleaning solutions produce high-quality results in almost all cleaning processes. Hakupur 800 is ideally suited for interim and final cleaning after machining and before and after hardening processes (including before critical nitriding processes). If the parts are more heavily contaminated, for example with long-term anti-corrosion agents, graphite or polishes, Hakupur 850 is generally the best choice. Contact: Chemische Werke Kluthe GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany, Tel. +49 6221 5301 0, [email protected], www.kluthe.de Effective removal of heavier contamination In order to remove heavier contamination (for example, mixtures of graphite and oil, corrosion protection agents, cooling lubricants that have become resinous), a more powerful cleaning agent is needed: Hakupur 850. This produces similar results to highly alkaline systems. The surfactant structure has been designed in such a way as to produce excellent results even at temperatures below 40°C, without the problem of foam forming. As the employees responsible for the cleaning systems generally come into direct contact with the cleaning agent, highly caustic substances have not been used in the formulation of this product. When alkaline systems are combined with corrosion protection products or greases, the result is often the formation of large quantities of foam. The combination of surfactants in Hakupur 850 was deliberately designed to counteract the formation of foam under unfavourable conditions. This means that in cases where common highly alkaline cleaners are used with an anti-foaming agent, if the newly developed cleaning product is chosen instead, the second component is no longer needed.

The process allows for greater flexibility in the use of the capacity of production facilities. T he rising mix of metal substrates, notably the lightweight construction material aluminium and also increasing volumes of zinc-magnesium materials are imposing new challenges on the pre-treatment process. This is why industry has for quite some time been looking for possibilities of retaining the known benefits of the tried and tested zinc phosphating technology while at the same time also meeting new market demands. Besides the substrate mix, demands also include ever more stringent environmental requirements, rising cost pressure and also compliance with specific quality standards and tests of the automotive manufacturers. Tailer-made pre-treatment process improves productivity The new GardoFlex system from Chemetall consists of a large number of high-performance modules around the zinc phosphating technology. The new process combines the traditional benefits of a conventional zinc phos- phating with optimised process components and thus meets the current requirements of the global automotive industry. For every process step in zinc phosphating, Chemetall offers adequate technologies that are coordinated to match each other – from cleaning and degreasing to activation and phosphating through to the last rinsing step. These modules are specifically combined to suit each individual production line. This allows increasing the process efficiency and raising the production yield. Modules are selected as a function of the substrate throughput, the plant technology available, local market conditions and legal regulations. By working together with the customer, it is therefore possible to develop the ideal solution for every pretreatment process. Modules reduce process costs The new system allows for significant reductions in process costs, for example by reducing the temperature down to 35 °C in the zinc phosphating bath. Practical experience has shown that – depending on the throughput – energy costs in the six-figure range can be saved. All process elements are optimally aligned and together with a distinctly longer bath service life, meaning lower water consumption and smaller effluent volumes, contribute to the resource-saving aspect of this technology. The reduced coating weight and finer crystal formation on the metal surface require less replenishment solution and thus lead to a reduction in the chemicals consumption. Chemetall also offers an effective demulsifying process for degreasing baths, which brings further benefits in terms of bath service life and maintenance costs. The GardoFlex technology can be used in existing plants and usually does not require any alterations of the plant. Expensive cooling for activation or rinsing baths to suppress the formation of a phosphate coating on aluminium substrates is no longer required as the aim is to generate thin coatings. © Chemetall No limits Up to 70 per cent of the lightweight material aluminium are pre-treated in the production plants of the automotive manufacturers – a fact that may lead to technically most demanding application when using conventional zinc phosphating processes. This is where the strengths of the new system lie, as it is suited for multi-metal applications without restrictions. 28 For some years already, the lightweight material aluminium has been gaining ground in automotive manufacture. Up to 70 per cent are pre-treated in the production plants of the automotive manufacturers – a fact that may lead to technically most demanding application when using conventional zinc phosphating processes.

This allows for greater flexibility with regard to the utilization rate of production facilities. On aluminium substrates GardoFlex ensures a reduced pickling loss on the metal surface.

Another benefit of the GardoFlex technology is the deposition of a uniform, thin phosphate coating on the aluminium substrate.

As a consequence, no costintensive alterations are required and the benefits of the new technology can be optimally adapted to each individual production line. Well-known vehicle manufacturers throughout the world are already putting their trust in this new zinc phosphating process. It offers the automotive industry the maximum flexibility with regard to both the production process and the substrate throughput, while maintaining high standards of quality and keeping process costs low.

Instead of environmentally harmful solvents, the company uses atmospheric pressure plasma to clean and activate the surfaces. he sandwich panel construction of modern reefer semitrailers is entirely bonded nowadays, rather than bolted. This results in greater inherent strength and more durable joints whilst at the same time reducing production costs. An added benefit is the reduced weight, which in turn cuts down on fuel consumption and reduces CO2 emissions throughout the vehicle’s lifetime. Schmitz Cargobull manufactures its container vehicles in Vreden in Westphalia. Here alone 15,000 new refrigerated semitrailers roll off the production line every year. For the environmentally safe production of the walls and roofs of the vehicles measuring 13.50 meters long, 2.60 meters wide and 2.80 meters high Openair atmospheric-pressure plasma technology is employed before structural bonding. Pretreatment in a matter of seconds This process developed by Plasmatreat, Steinhagen almost 20 years ago and used today in practically all sectors in industry worldwide for pretreating the surfaces of materials carries out some key tasks for Europe’s largest trailer manufacturer. It allows the use of solvent-free adhesives and ensures particularly strong adhesion in bonded joints. This ensures that the con- 30 © Schmitz Cargobull T For the production of refrigerated semitrailers Schmitz Cargobull uses atmospheric-pressure plasma technology before structural bonding. tainer structures built completely free of rivets withstand in optimum fashion the high demands on strength and constancy of temperature imposed on their freight spaces on their journeys between producers and customers. The Openair-Plasma process allows for microfine cleaning and simultaneous activation or for functional nano-coating of surfaces without interrupting the production process. The systems based on a jet principle operate in-line and can be integrated easily in any new or already existing production line. The treatment is carried out under normal air conditions and within a matter of seconds. All that the environmentally friendly operation of the systems requires is electricity and compressed air. Also the systems are without restric- tion compatible with robots while the process is safe and reproducible. Cleaning and activating in one step “We became aware of Plasmatreat’s technology first time at an international technical meeting some years ago”, reports Johannes Pierick, Head of Quality Assurance and Application Technology at Schmitz Cargobull in Vreden. “The capabilities of this process exactly matched our expectations which we intended to incorporate into the construction of a new bonding plant.” The trailer manufacturer’s primary goal was to eliminate completely the organic solvents used until now, of which there were at least one liter per finished container structure, and JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 The plasma strikes the surface at almost the speed of sound and brings about its ultrafine cleaning and high activation © Plasmatreat in this way to rule out from the outset any risk of environmental pollution. At the same time the manual surface cleaning and manual roughening carried out up to that point was to be replaced by an industrial process. Both requirements were to be performed by the plasma process in one single working step. In collaboration with the University of Kaiserslautern a test phase lasting six months was launched. Apart from the interactions between atmospheric-pressure plasma, two-pack adhesives and the working material the level of any emissions were also tested since several plasma systems were to be used simultaneously. Plasma in large surface use The refrigerated semi-trailers manufactured by Schmitz Cargobull are self-supporting systems whose modular structure is built completely free JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 Up to 80 container structures are built every day at Schmitz Cargobull’s Vreden works. Schematic illustration of plasma generator used at Schmitz Cargobull’s containing four rotary jets. The plasma strikes the surface to be treated at an angle of 45°. © Plasmatreat Following satisfactory test results, planning of the technology for the entire plant including the in-line plasma system and the coating process ensued. When the first large-scale plant with atmospheric plasma application for the structural bonding of refrigerated box superstructures was finally commissioned at Schmitz Cargo bull, this new application resulted in important rationalization of production. While previously separate workstations were needed, it was now possible to combine pretreatment and adhesive coating in one operation since the plasma system was integrated into the frame of the adhesive mixing and metering unit. Pierick: „The special advantages of the atmosphericpressure plasma system consisted not only in its space-saving method of application and the reliability of the process, but also primarily in that due to the ultrafine cleaning and high activation by the plasma both wet degreasing and roughening are eliminated and by substituting the use of solvent it was possible to achieve a higher degree of contentment among employees. Just a year later we fitted out a second gluing station with plasma units.” © Schmitz Cargobull Product rationalization 31 JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY © Plasmatreat CLEANING AND PRE-TREATMENT Due to activation by plasma the plastic-coated sheet steel covering layers of the sandwich panels are given new surface properties amenable to adhesion. of rivets. The walls and roofs consist of a sandwich structure. This is a panel sealed against diffusion of water vapor having two sheet steel covering layers and an intervening high-density polyurethane rigid foam core. The selfsupporting characteristic is obtained by adhesively bonding the large panels into aluminium angle rails. To ensure optimum durability, strength and imperviousness of the bonded joints the panels are pretreated in advance in the region of the bonding surfaces with plasma. Of the two plasma treatment stations running today at the Vreden works one is used exclusively for the structural bonding of the side wall and roof panels. The triaxial installation containing the integrated plasma system and the mixing and metering head for the adhesive smear application runs completely automatically after being invoked by the machining program for controlling and adjusting the spacing relative to the object to be treated. The plasma unit consists of two jet systems each mounted to the right and left on the outer edge of the same traversing unit on which the mixing and metering head for the adhesive smear application is also seated. Each jet system contains four rotary jets arranged in offset manner. After a transport crane has set the panels down the axle with the now active plasma jets starts 32 moving and travels at a speed of 20 m/ min along the outer edge of a panel. The rotary jets, specially designed for largescale treatment, spread the plasma at an angle of 45° over a treatment width of 47 mm per jet. Depending on the direction 150 – 180 mm of the surface can be cleaned and activated in this way in one pass. Pierick: “The important objective here is to establish a reference standard set in advance by the pretreatment of the plastic-coated sheet steel surfaces since it cannot be ruled out that the parts exhibit fine impurities picked up in transport. If that happened, however, they would no longer meet the reference requirements. The coatings are mainly non-polar plastics (polyester coating), which due to the plasma activation are now given new surface properties amenable to adhesion.” Pretreatment must take place over a minimum width of 300 mm along the entire length or width of the panel. This is the area on which immediately afterwards three beads of two-pack PU adhesive are applied. On safety grounds generous overlaps are allowed for in the pretreatment. In a total of three passes the plasma system travels over the areas to be adhesively bonded. A second pretreatment station is available for ultrafine cleaning and activation of container fittings such as double-decker and load-securing rails. In the case of these parts also a fixed reference state is produced in advance by the pretreatment. In this way it is ensured in further processing that the flush joints on the panels reliably withstand all stresses. Conclusion The demands imposed on the bonded joints are correspondingly high and can only be met by means of reliable and reproducible pretreatment. In this field treatment with atmospheric-pressure plasma successfully replaces conventional pretreatment, i.e. mechanical roughening and activation by means of environmentally polluting solvents. The contribution to environmental conservation that Schmitz Cargobull is making in the production of refrigerated trailers is impressive. At least 20 metric tons of wet chemicals are saved every year here solely due to the use of Openair technology. Moreover, the high-tech rotary plasma systems integrated into the process workflow allow not only a reliable but also an extremely effective and distinctly economical pretreatment of surfaces to be bonded.

H igh-quality parts cleaning and degreasing plays an increasingly decisive role in many industries. Choosing the right cleaning system and the most appropriate solvent is as important in competitive terms as continuous quality control. Under the brand Chemaware, Safechem Europe offers expertise and services relating to the sustainable and efficient use of solvents in industrial parts cleaning. Its portfolio now also includes the well-established and varied laboratory services from Dow/Safechem, such as solvent analyses and oil compatibility tests. Because of the high levels of demand, the company has increased its capacity by opening additional labs in Germany. The new certified Chemaware labs are equipped with state-of-the-art analysis facilities and a faster logistics system. Different analytical processes are used to monitor the quality of the solvent. They enable important factors to be measured, such as the purity, stabiliser concentration, decomposition products, oil and water content and acid profile of the solvent, which could affect the cleaning process. However, the analyses are not only used to track down and resolve the causes of cleaning problems. They are also a means of documenting the stability and quality of the cleaning process for the purpose of quality audits or to provide proof for customers. At the same time, carrying out checks on the quality of the solvent makes it possible to take the necessary bath maintenance measures in good time. When a company decides to invest in a new cleaning system, oil compatibility tests can help to ensure that the system chosen is the right one. They enable the possible influence of machining oils on the properties of the solvent and the relia- bility of the cleaning process to be identified in advance. The results allow an informed decision to be made about the most suitable solvent and stabiliser for the application in question. As the tests can be carried out at normal pressure and in a vacuum, it is also possible to identify the best type of machine, from both a technical and a cost perspective. This is an important criterion for plant manufacturers, in particular in the case of customers who are using critical oils containing chlorine or sulphur. The oil and solvent samples are now enclosed in a new type of safety packaging. The bottle for the sample is placed in a steel container inside a cardboard box.

JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 33 CLEANING AND PRE-TREATMENT JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY Supplier Optimises Parts Cleaning for Changing Requirements The Cleaning System and Tank Combination is the Key With a portfolio of around 1,000 different parts, it is no easy task to fulfil the growing demands regarding technical surface cleanliness. In order to meet this challenge, a precision parts supplier has invested in two new custom-equipped cleaning systems and a set of versatile cleaning tanks. A llweier Präzisionsteile GmbH was already established more than 40 years ago as a vendor and system/development partner for machining solutions. The core competencies of this family-owned enterprise based in southern Germany lie in CNC turning, milling and grinding services as well as in module and component assembly. The company owns an extensive pool of state-of-the-art equipment for machining aluminium parts, including castings, steels, cast iron, cast steel, titanium and special materials. Its portfolio currently comprises around 1,000 different items for diverse applications in mechanical engineering, plant construction, automotive manufacturing, conveyor technology and robotics, marine and offshore systems, optical and medical equipment, railways and other sectors. In all, Allweier processes around 20 million parts each year. “ Cleaning the machined parts poses quite a challenge, on the one hand, because of the sheer diversity of materials, part geometries and dimensions. On the other hand, demands on the technical cleanliness of surfaces have grown significantly over the last few years. Requirements such as ‘zero particles larger than 600 µm’ are common today, and steel parts need to be perfectly protected against corrosion as well”, explained Thomas Schmidt, Technology Planner for Rotary Machining Processes at Allweier Präzisionsteile GmbH. In order to reach the specified levels of cleanliness with process reliability while boosting the effi- The machines are provided with vacuum-tight work chambers in which the cleaning, rinsing and drying processes take place. The system for aluminium parts features three flood tanks, while the one for steel parts has two. 34 ciency of the cleaning step in the manufacturing chain, the company invested in two cleaning systems (Universal 81W) from Dürr Ecoclean plus a set of custom-designed cleaning tanks designed and manufactured by Metallform Wächter. Tailor-made equipment for higher efficiency “We talked to four equipment manufacturers and conducted cleaning trials. Dürr Ecoclean not only gave us excellent advice but also offered the equipment solution best suited to our task”, said Thomas Schmidt. The cleaning system has a vacuum-tight working chamber in which its cleaning, rinsing and drying operations take place. Both systems are designed for a basket size of 670 x 480 x 300 mm (LxWxH) and a maximum charge weight of 150 kg. In order to ensure a reliable removal of adhering particles and chips as well as of machining fluid residue, the work chamber is equipped with a highperformance injection flood washing function and an ultrasonic cleaning system with a power rating of 10 watts per litre of bath volume. The parts are dried by combined hot-air and vacuum treatment. “We also have parts with cavities which were often still moist on leaving our old continuous cleaning line. Thanks to vacuum drying, these products now come out completely dry as well”, Thomas Schmidt added . The different requirements regarding cleaning aluminium and steel parts are addressed by a tailor-made configuration of the new cleaning systems. JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 Upon completion of the cleaning process, the product passes through a cooling zone so that the cleaned parts can enter the packaging station without delay. The fluids from all flood tanks are subjected to full-flow filtration in the supply and return lines alike. While the cleaning fluids are run through bag filters, cartridge filters are used for the rinsing and anti-corrosion fluids. This ensures highly effective removal of particulate contaminants. Film-type contaminants such as emulsions are removed first by the oil separator and then additionally by the Aquaclean system. This evaporates the Pictures: Allweier For example, the system for steel parts and steel castings has four flood tanks. This makes it possible to adapt the fluid used in the cleaning step to the given part (i.e. steel or casting). The third and fourth flood tanks hold the rinsing and preservation fluids, respectively. The new aluminium cleaning line is equipped with three flood tanks. It comprises an additional treatment system for the demineralised rinsing water. The quality of this water is monitored continuously. “ With aluminium parts, it is very important to rinse with demineralised water and to ensure quick and complete drying. This ensures that the parts will remain free of stains and discolorations”, the Technology Planner explained. Around 80 percent of all parts are cleaned in a defined position. Parts are supplied by an automatic feeding system comprising buffer sections at the entry and exit. Appropriate cleaning programs are stored in the system controllers. The part-specific program for each load is selected either by a basket identification system using sensors, or manually by the operator. After the cleaning process, the parts pass through a cooling zone from which they emerge ready for immediate packaging. The load can be made up of one or more “standalone” part carriers designed for a specific component or family of components each. In addition, part-specific inserts or a fully flexible system for disc-shaped parts are used. JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 fluid from the flood tanks and returns the condensed liquid into the process circuit while collecting the dirt residue in the Aquaclean tank. This fluid treatment method increases bath life while also reducing the equipment outage times necessitated by bath changes. Versatile tanks purpose-designed for the cleaning process In order to realise the full potential of their new systems, Allweier invested in a set of new cleaning tanks. These allow all parts to be variously arranged inside for maximum cleaning and drying performance. The requirement specified by the company to its four candidate suppliers was that all parts had to be protected as effectively as possible in the tank, apart from being arranged and secured to withstand rotation. After all, the baskets are swung and turned through up to 360 degrees in the cleaning cycle. At the same time, each tank needed to hold a maximum number of parts without restricting fluid or ultrasound access to the product and impairing the system’s cleaning action. Ease of handling was also high on the priority list. “In the first phase, we were looking at tanks for ten different parts. With that objective in mind, all companies received the same documentation from us. Metallform already stood out from the other vendors in this bidding phase. 35 CLEANING AND PRE-TREATMENT JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY Disc-shaped parts are secured in the Mefo box with the aid of two different inserts, one of which defines the number of shelf rows while the other defines the shelf depths. With six different inserts, Allweier covers a broad range of disc-shaped components. For instance, they supplied 3D design drawings of the tanks with parts arranged inside, so I was able to imagine at once how the part would be placed and fixed in the basket. Their consulting service, too, was and continues to be excellent. All this is backed by plenty of competence and in-depth analysis”, said Thomas Schmidt, explaining his company’s decision in favour of Metallform Wächter. In addition to a range of rigid, partspecific product carriers for fast-selling parts, a variety of different semi-flexible and fully flexible solutions were implemented. These are designed to be used for different components or com- ponent families at the same time and to be quickly and easily adaptable to another part by the operator while production continues. “Metallform provides us with optimum support in reducing the necessary number of part carriers by providing flexible technology. We derive benefit from this not merely by saving investment cost but also through reduced space requirements on the shop f loor”, the Technology Planner explained. For instance, the range comprises a part carrier for aluminium annular housings measuring between 240 and 320 mm in diameter and between 20 and 100 mm in length. Relocatable Teflon tube sheaths are used to protect the parts. These can be flexibly affixed to the part carriers. 36 prism-type rake supports inserted into the basic carrier allow different parts to be reliably accommodated and secured. At the same time, the part fixtures can be arranged in such a way as to be in contact with the parts at uncritical points only. For disc-shaped parts of various diameters, Metallform developed a fully variable system. It consists of two different inserts, one of which defines the number of shelf rows while the other defines their depth. This makes it possible to create a part-holding structure in no time, either in a Mefo box or in the basic rack. Locking is by means of spring-loaded snap engagement bolts. All part carriers and cleaning baskets are made of round stainless steel wire with an electropolished surface finish. The round wire ensures good all-round fluid and ultrasound access to the parts. In addition, optimum draining properties are ensured while dirt and fluid carryover is minimised. Moreover, the round wire provides a reduced contact surface area. Local sheathing in clip-on Teflon tube sections for additional part protection is an option. Improved quality and higher cost-efficiency This combination of new cleaning systems and tanks enables Allweier not only to achieve, but in fact to outperform the technical cleanliness standards for all parts in a reliable manner. “We carry out regular laboratory analyses, and these have shown that we are achieving a much better cleaning result. Unlike our previous continuous cleaning line, the system no longer requires compressed air for drying. Moreover, the cleaning process is now so effective that parts made in three shifts can now be cleaned in just under two. It goes without saying that we are working more efficiently as well”, Thomas Schmidt concluded.

This assures not only stable parts cleanliness but also increases the economic efficiency of cleaning processes. W ater based cleaning agents con- cleaning processes are supported by sist of the components builder the detachment of particles as negative and surfactant either combined as a charge is forced upon part surface and full cleaner or a modular cleaner system. Surfactants are surface active substances that, due to their composition of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, adsorb onto the interfacial surfaces contamination – water, part surface – water or the water surface. The surfactants wet the oil films on the part surface. The oil film is pushed together until oil drops form. Those oil drops can be easily detached from the surface. Solid particles that are embedded into the oil are removed as well. The cleaning process is supported by turbulences (spray cleaning, ultrasonic, movement) and contamination is flushed away. The builder boosts the cleaning process. When alkaTasks of the cleaning agent components. line cleaning agents are used, contamination because of the high pHvalue of the cleaning solution. The cleaning agent components are complementary in their effects. They dissolve the different contamination and stabilize them within the cleaning medium. Due to adsorption on the part surface they prevent further contamination in the cleaning process. Change in concentration The concentrations of builder and surfactant are not only changed by consumption but also by the carry-over in the part flow, the discharge of the bath preparation (e.g. ultrafiltration, oil separator) and the dilution via return of rinsing water. Both cleaning agent components are consumed to a varying degree. To assure sufficient parts cleanliness for follow-up processes it is essential to stabilize both Surfactant depletion when dosing based on Builder concentration (left) and discharge via ultrafiltration (right). JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 37 CLEANING AND PRE-TREATMENT JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY components within the predefined concentration range. Insufficient parts cleanliness caused by surfactant depletion Determining the active surfactant concentration with bubble pressure tensiometers. Often the dosing of the cleaning agent components is carried out in a fixed proportion based on the builder concentration that was determined by the titration of the alkalinity. This proportion is determined when running-in the cleaning process or by the supplier of the chemicals. It does not take into account the variety of contamination on the parts. This type of dosing often leads to surfactant depletion especially with the drag in of oil. To extend the lifetime of cleaning processes bath care measures are used. Ultrafiltration causes not only the removal of oil and contamination but also the filtering of parts of the surfactants. Low-foaming spray cleaners are used to remove the oil phase, but also remove surfactants in the process. This leads to surfactant depletion. The same effect occurres, if dosing according to consumption is not carried out duly. The result of surfactant depletion due to the lack of bath monitoring is insufficient parts cleanliness which often causes the production of rejects in cleanliness-critical follow-up processes such as bonding, welding or coating. Monitoring assures stable cleanliness Process tensiometer for continuous process monitoring and dosage according to consumption. This mobile device controls cleaning and rinsing baths and determines required surfactant dosages fast and easily. 38 To prevent this, the surfactant is overdosed in numerous cleaning processes due to safety aspects resulting in high carry-over into the rinsing baths. Frequently, cleaning agent residuals remain at the part surface which could have a negative effect on subsequent processes. In practice the bath lifetime is often determined based on experience. An increased rate of defects in followup processes will be used as an indicator to change the bath solution. The real reason for the insufficient parts cleanliness is the surfactant concentration dropping below a critical threshold. TheLack of bath monitoring results in utilizing a new bath solution instead of dosing according to consumption. JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 Bath monitoring as well as dosing of surfactant and builder based on measuring values assure stable parts cleanliness. Bubble pressure tensiometrie – Measuring the surface tension An effective way for monitoring the Surfactant is measuring the surface tension with bubble pressure tensio meters of Sita. The surface tension is determined by measuring the inside pressure of a bubble in a liquid. The reference value for measuring the surface tension is the water value of 72.8 mN/m at 20°C (substance constant). The combination of the surfactant concentrations is realized with reference characteristic curves that are saved within the device. The surface tension shows the concentration of free surfactants that de- termine the cleaning power. Active surfactants that are not bound to contamination such as oil or particles attach to the bubble and change the bubble pressure. The current cleaning power can be monitored by measuring the surface tension because only free surfactants are available for the cleaning mechanism. Changes can be identified immediately and replenishment can take place in time. Over-dosage with stronger surfactant depletion into rinsing baths is prevented. Devices for manual and automated monitoring With the mobile device (DynoTester+) cleaning and rinsing baths are controlled fast and easily and the required surfactant dosage can be determined reliably. For continuous process monitoring and dosing surfactants accord- ing to consumption a process tensiometer (clean line ST) is used. It features self-monitoring as well as fully-automated cleaning and calibration and therefore, assures high process reliability. Monitoring the surfactant component of the cleaning agent with bubble pressure tensiometers assures stable parts cleanliness due to consumptiondependent replenishment of the cleaning agent components. By extending the bath lifetime and using the cleaning agent according to consumption economic efficient process management is optimized.

However, it is also important that they are compact, cost-effective and flexible, offer high-speed processes and functions, operate energy efficiently and can easily be integrated into existing production lines. S maller, rotationally symmetrical components are generally processed in rotary transfer machines and larger cubic parts in more complex cleaning lines. The processes available on both types of machine include brush deburring, high-pressure cleaning and deburring, precision cleaning, immersion washing, ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, blow drying, vacuum drying and cooling. Other processes, such as plasma and laser cleaning, can also be provided by both types of system. With its broad portfolio of products, the Sturm Group can offer a vari- ety of different solutions. These range from compact rotary transfer cleaning machines through to complex cleaning lines which combine high-pressure processes with interlinking functions, automation and other technologies. Special features of rotary transfer machines Rotary transfer systems are particularly suitable for rotationally symmetrical components. They also make it possible to use flexible parts holders, which can be adjusted or replaced quickly, easily and cost-effectively, when a wide variety of parts is being processed. These machines have a high level of reusability and can accommodate many different types of parts if the parts holders are standardised. In these systems, drilled holes, edges, undercuts and surfaces are processed at pressures of up to 800 bar in alternating cycles. By rocking or turning the workpieces or the high-pressure tools, the angle of the cleaning jet can be continuously adjusted. This allows high-quality, consistent results to be achieved even at lower pressures and with a smaller number of high-pressure nozzles. The constantly changing angle means that even chip build-up can be removed reliably. Cleaning chamber and cleaning tool in one A rotary table machine with an automatic portal. 40 As the high pressure tool is a solid cleaning chamber surrounding the workpiece, it helps to reduce noise. Therefore, the machine can be loaded and unloaded manually at noise levels below 75 dB(A), even when high-pressure processes are used. In addition, the workpieces can be placed on the rotary table manually or loaded automatically via a portal or a robot, depending on the user’s requirements. When the highest standards of cleanliness are needed, the cycle times start at 5 seconds. Because of the way the different units are laid out, long processing times and short non-productive periods can be guaranteed. Furthermore, depending on the application, it is possible to meet cleanliness requirements that include particles of less than 200 μm in size and remaining contamination levels of a maximum of JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 0.5 mg per part (for example, for gearbox shafts). In each unit the parts holders are tilted or turned using gearwheels, so that the parts are cleaned from a different angle. This means that the deburring or cleaning agent hits the parts at varying angles and in different positions. Ultimately, the process produces high-quality results which are also cost-effective, because fewer nozzles and air knives are needed. Complex high-pressure cleaning and deburring line In a complex high-pressure cleaning and deburring line, the actual highpressure unit is the robot cell. Inside the cell, a robot picks up the part and moves it through the individual cleaning processes without changing its grip or putting the part down. On the one hand, this makes a space-saving layout possible, because the cleaning units can also be positioned overhead. On the other hand, the machine does not need to be set up for different parts, which also saves time. In addition, the cleaning line has an intelligent documentation system which takes into account the data obtained while the machine is operating and constantly improves the process. The round table can be equipped with between 20 and 24 positions. Flexible, automated machines A flexible system makes it possible to adapt to the requirements of the different workpieces. In the same way as the rotary transfer machine, the cleaning line has a high level of reusability and This complete processing line includes units for brushing, high-pressure deburring, highpressure cleaning, rinsing, blow drying, vacuum drying and cooling. JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 can accommodate a variety of different components as a result of the standardised parts holders. Drilled holes, edges, undercuts and surfaces are processed in alternating cycles at pressures between 300 and 3000 bar. The high degree of freedom of the workpieces enables complex parts of different kinds to be processed individually in different positions. As a result, high cleanliness standards can be met consistently where the parts have complicated shapes. In the case of complex cubic components, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads and gearbox casings, cycle times of up to 30 seconds are possible, as the individual processes, which include brushing, high-pressure deburring, high-pressure cleaning, rinsing, vacuum drying and cooling, can be set up separately and automated using the interlinking function.

With a maximum batch weight of 4.6 tonnes, the machine can clean three batches per hour leaving minimal residual contamination. A southern European manufacturing company produces high-quality copper and copper-alloy pipes for almost all conceivable purposes, including general industrial uses and specialist applications in the drinking water and medical technology sectors. In the medical technology industry it is no longer sufficient to provide general information about remaining levels of contamination. Instead it is essential to keep within the clearly defined limits. Peter Hösel, head of the technical department at Emo, has been confronted with increasingly stringent requirements over recent years: “The specifications are becoming more and more challenging. In this case, the residual carbon level after the copper pipes have been cleaned must be lower than 0.1mg/ dm2. Requirements like this cannot be met using conventional cleaning ma- chines, in particular given the high throughput that is needed.” Strict specifications for cycle time and cleanliness The pipe manufacturer’s additional requirements for the cleaning system also presented a challenge. The machine must be able to handle pipes of different lengths up to a maximum of 8.2 metres and with diameters between four and 160 millimetres. However, the real problem lies not only in the cleanliness levels but also in the required throughput. For example, the time taken to clean a batch of pipes which are 8.2 metres long and 60 centimetres in diameter and weigh a total of more than two tonnes must not exceed 20 minutes. In order to be able to meet these demanding requirements reliably, Emo simulated the application in its in-house technical centre under reallife production conditions. In the adjacent laboratories, Emo carried out its own cleanliness analyses. This simplified the choice of a suitable process and machine and enabled the size of the machine to be determined. After the results had been presented to the pipe manufacturer, the company decided to invest in a toploading system (Vaiocs) from Emo Oberflächentechnik which had been customised specifically for this application. High-speed filling and emptying The technology in question is the first choice when it comes to this type of problem. Emo constructed the cleaning machine to meet the customer’s specific requirements. The top-loading machine is designed to take up as little space as possible when compared The pipe cleaning machine offers high standards of cleanliness, a large throughput and an excellent mechanical design. 42 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 of hot solvent. Once this vacuum stage has been completed, the solvent passes through a filter unit and is returned to the tank. The next stage involves degreasing the pipes with solvent vapour. Finally, the pipes undergo an intensive drying process. All the stages of the cleaning process take place in a vacuum. In the first stage, perchloroethylene is used as the cleaning agent. “The machine can easily be converted for use with non-chlorinated hydrocarbons or cleaning agents based on modified alcohols,” explains Hösel. Excellent cleaning results While the front parts container waits to be unloaded, the batch at the back is making its way into the cleaning chamber. with other systems. Nevertheless, a high-performance machine of this kind is still large. Including the automatic loading system, the machine is 16 metres long, seven metres wide and 4.5 metres high. It weighs around 40 tonnes and has a connected load of around 300 kilowatts. One of the key technical features of the enclosed system is the parts containers, which are angled by four de- grees. As Peter Hösel explains: “Angling the pipes makes the cleaning process significantly easier. Together with the high-performance pumps, it also allows the cleaning chamber to be filled and emptied at high speed, which is essential to enable the cleaning process to be completed within such a short time.” The process consists of three stages. In the first of these the cleaning chamber is flooded with around 6000 litres The angle of the container helps the cleaning process and allows the chamber to be emptied quickly. JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 The Vaiocs toploader complies with all the customer’s specifications. The pipes are cleaned to the required standard of cleanliness and the process is fast and cost-effective. With an average batch weight of significantly above two tonnes, the cleaning process lasts just under 20 minutes, which is within the required timeframe. To ensure that the machine can operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week, Emo has designed a new, easyto-use loading system. This consists of a chain conveyor at the side of the machine which transports the parts containers to the loading and unloading areas. It also has an electrohydraulic handling system that loads the containers into the cleaning chamber and removes them after the process has been completed. This means that two containers are constantly in use. While one is in the cleaning chamber, the operators are removing the cleaned pipes from the other and refilling it with contaminated pipes. During test operations at Emo’s site, the machine demonstrated that it could meet all the requirements and in particular those regarding the speed of the process. As a result, the customer will need employees who can work quickly and efficiently and a sophisticated internal logistics system in order to keep pace with the machine’s fast cleaning cycles.

Two practical examples demonstrate the successful use of special solutions in real-life applications. A bicycle manufacturer’s hanger system before (left) and after the changeover. A s a result of the constantly growing demands of the painting industry, standard hangers and masking solutions often no longer meet the needs of paint shops. For this reason, specially designed products are becoming increasingly common. At first glance these special solutions often appear to be more complex and costly, but a closer look generally shows that they pay for themselves within a very short time. Solutions developed specifically for each individual component that is being painted significantly reduce the number of faulty products and improve efficiency, because they often enable a much larger number of parts to be painted at once. Increasing the throughput of the painting process known German bicycle manufacturer which are used in the process of painting bicycle chain guards. The customer’s main requirement was to achieve a significant increase in the throughput of chain guards by opting for a special hanger design. Originally each chain guard had to be fixed to an individual hanger and painted separately in the spray booth. Therefore, the aim was to be able to attach up to ten chain guards to one hanger, which would speed up and simplify the painting process. Following de- A special masking solution made from silicone was designed for use with a rear light. It prevents paint from adhering to the outside surface of the light when the inside of the reflector is being painted. Emptmeyer has developed and produced special hangers for a well- 44 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 tailed discussions between the designer and the members of Emptmeyer’s inhouse prototyping team, the first prototype was developed. After some improvements had been made, the hanger was designed in such a way that five chain guards could be attached to each side. It is now also possible to fit different sizes of chain guard to one hanger. Following a successful test phase, the specially developed hanger system went into volume production and is now in use at the bicycle manufacturing plant. It has enabled the company to increase the efficiency of its painting process tenfold. Special masking solutions Masking parts reliably often presents a problem in the painting industry. By using special masking solutions, it is possible to avoid the need for complex and time-consuming tasks and this can considerably increase the efficiency of the painting process. Emptmeyer developed a special silicone mask for painting a rear light. The exact fit of the masking solution prevents paint from adhering to the outside surface of the light when the inside of the reflector is being painted. If this were to happen, the light would no longer be reflective. This type of special masking solution made from silicone and plastic is developed on the basis of CAD data, drawings and samples of the components. The latest CAD technology is used to produce real masking solutions during the project phase. This avoids the need for the time-consuming creation of prototype parts. In addition, the masking is resistant to high temperatures and chemicals and can be reused several times. The use of this type of masking also means that timeconsuming reworking is often no longer needed.

A power & free conveyor was chosen to transport the bumpers, which provides a simple and cost-effective solution to the problem of a plant operating on different levels. M any international car manufacturers produce vehicles for the US market in Mexico, including the Japanese company Honda, which has a production site in Celeya. In contrast to many other manufacturers which outsource the production and painting of their bumpers, Honda prefers to do this in-house. In 2013, Dürr was awarded the contract for a complete paint shop for bumpers in Celeya. Unlike many European companies, Honda opted for a power & free floor conveyor system to transport the bumpers, rather than a skid conveyor. As part of the team engineering process, Dürr worked together with the conveyor specialist Caldan to plan the implementation of the P&F100 floor conveyor. By using tried-and-tested standard components together with modifications specifically for the project in question, it was possible to integrate the new system seamlessly into the Dürr paint shop. Protection from steam and water droplets The power & free conveyor system has double trolleys with a total length of 1800 mm. Each of these consists of one front trolley and one rear trolley, which are connected by a specially designed main load bar. Goosenecks are mounted on the bar to meet the process requirements of a power wash cleaning system. This allows the trolleys to be given effective protection from steam and water droplets as they pass through the cleaning unit. To enable the jigs to be turned in certain areas of the paint shop, Dürr fitted rotation heads above the main load bar. The power & free conveyor supplies the individual stations of the painting line from the loading area in the plastic manufacturing zone through to the unloading area. The trolleys pass through the pre-treatment line and drying area, the primer, base coat and clear coat spray booths with painting robots and the individual f lash-off and drying zones. The overall length of the conveyor, which has seven chain circuits, is 1480 m and it is fitted with more than 200 trolleys. The paint shop is arranged on four different levels, with the loading and unloading bays on the lowest storey, the spray booths and interim dryer on the next floors and the clear coat oven Buffer zone in a bumper paint shop. The system is designed for a cycle time of 50 seconds per trolley, which in theory allows 144 bumpers to be processed per hour, if two are loaded onto each trolley. 46 JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 tire paint shop from the loading area through to the unloading zone. The batch data is communicated to the Caldan conveyor in the loading bay, together with the accompanying model numbers and colours. Th is data is sent to the application systems in the relevant spray booths. At Honda’s request, a Mitsubishi control system has been used. Caldan Conveyor A/S, as the general contractor for the conveyors, shared the responsibility for the overall control system. The plant was commissioned and operated under test conditions in Mexico in the autumn of 2013. Since the start of 2014, it has been running in full production mode. Power & free trolleys with double goosenecks at the entrance to the cleaning system. on the highest level. The power & free conveyor has the benefit of being able to accommodate inclines, in contrast to conventional skid conveyor systems. It can transport the bumpers to the different levels much more cost-effectively and simply. The design of the power & free system allows inclines and also trolley transfers and diversions to be managed much more easily than with traditional floor conveyors. This applies in particular to the control system where the number of actuators and sensors can be kept to a minimum, which in turn reduces the potential sources of faults. the overall control system and the Dürr robot application throughout the en- Contact: Caldan Conveyor A/S, Frank Berg, Germany, [email protected], www.caldan.dk Four or six bumpers per trolley In the loading and unloading areas and the interim buffer zones, the power & free chain operates at speeds of up to 8 m/min, while separate chain circuits in the individual spray booths run at 2–3 m/min with the trolleys at distances of 2700 mm. In contrast, in the pretreatment system the trolleys are 2160 mm apart. Th is design results in a cycle time of 50 seconds per trolley, which in theory allows 144 bumpers to be processed per hour, if two are loaded onto each trolley. Each trolley is fitted with an RFID system, which allows the different programs to be transmitted to JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 47 SHOT BLASTING JOT INTERNATIONAL SURFACE TECHNOLOGY Blasting Machine for Complex Welded Structures Cleaning Steel Bridge Segments The largest Russian manufacturer of steel bridges has invested in a new blasting machine to remove scale, welding residues and other contamination. As a result, the bridge components, which are up to 21 metres in length, are perfectly prepared for the next phase in the manufacturing process. I n November 2013, the largest Russian manufacturer of steel bridges, Voronezhstalmost, installed a blasting system developed by Rump for cleaning its steel bridge segments. The bridge components are complex steel welded structures up to 21 metres long and weighing between 5 and 32 tonnes. The blasting machine is responsible for mechanically removing scale, welding residues and other contamination from these components to ensure that their surface has a uniform structure and is perfectly prepared for the subsequent coating process. The blasting chamber is 50 metres in length and in the centre has a 10-metre long blasting wheel zone made from highly wear-resistant manganese steel with an opening 2.5 x 3.6 metres in size. Below the blasting zone is a hopper to capture the shot. Automated system with a large blasting area The bridge segments are placed on two transport trolleys by a gantry crane and moved into the blasting chamber on a chain conveyor. After the outer door has been closed, the automated blasting process begins. This involves the trolleys transporting the component through the blasting zone and back again at a predefined speed. At a conveyor speed of around 1 to 2 m/minute and with a surface cleanliness requirement of B SA 2.5, the blasting area varies between 15 and 24 m 2/minute, depending on the complexity of the parts. If necessary, the internal surfaces of the segments can be blasted manually in the front part of the chamber. The 20 blasting wheels are easily maintained Rump “R” turbines with 48 The bridge segments travel into the blasting chamber on two transport trolleys. improved efficiency and a blasting area around 12% larger than conventional blasting wheels. The special way in which the shot is transferred to the wheels almost doubles the size of the so-called hotspot, the area where the blasting is most intense, and ensures that the individual grains of shot are more evenly distributed in this area. This produces a more uniform finish on the blasted surfaces. The housing of the blast wheels is made entirely from manganese steel. Inside the housing are three protective collars made from highly wear-resistant hard cast iron, which form an arc in the roof area that is the shape of the blasting wheel. This prevents turbulence and Parts can be blasted manually in the front part of the blasting chamber. JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 additional wear on the wheels. The collars can easily be removed. Each blasting wheel has two side disks and eight straight throwing blades made from highly wear-resistant special steel. They have an outer diameter of 410 mm. The wheels work on the principle of mechanical pre-acceleration and have a centrally located distributor wheel. The adjustable distributor casing allows the blasting angle to be chosen on the basis of the shape of the components. The blades are guided between the two side disks. Easily replaceable blades In order to make the job of maintenance staff easier, on this generation of Rump turbines for the first time the blades are fastened to the wheels without any additional fixing materials. To change the blades, the inner structure of the wheel is simply removed by undoing three bolts and the blades are dismantled towards the centre of the wheel. The low centrifugal mass ensures a high level of efficiency. The wheels are driven by directly connected AC motors with reinforced bearings and a power output of 11 kW. The throwing speed of the blast wheels is around 87 m/s at a motor speed of 3000 rpm and with a shot throughput per wheel of approximately 150 kg per minute. Significant reduction in wear Depending on the type of parts being blasted and their surface properties, the shot consumption of each wheel is around 2 kg/hour. Spherical cast steel shot with a grain diameter of 1.2 mm is used as the blasting agent. The shot is targeted at the surface of the moving bridge segments and creates an overlapping blasting pattern. This significantly reduces the wear on the blasting chamber and its internal panelling. To adjust the intensity of the blasting process, the motor speed of the blasting wheels and the throwing speed of the shot can be changed from the control unit using a frequency-controlled speed adjustment function. The blasting wheels are located on the wedge-shaped segments of the blasting chamber ceiling, walls and JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 The entire machine, including the blasting chamber and the loading area, is 75 metres long. hopper. Additional panels made from manganese steel are positioned in the direct blasting area to protect the machine housing from wear. The shot is recovered by a screw conveyor in the hopper and transported to a bucket conveyor. In the downstream cyclone phase, lighter and undersized particles of shot are removed by an airflow and transferred to the filter system. This is followed by a sieving phase where the coarse grains are separated out. The cleaned shot is then stored in a bunker and returned to the blasting wheels by pneumatic dispensing units. If the main bunker reports a shortage of shot, a top-up bunker that forms part of the shot recovery system automatically adds new shot to the circuit, until the main bunker is full. This ensures that the proportion of shot in the blasting mix remains consistent. Control system consisting of a PLC and a touch panel Dust extractors connected to the blasting chamber and the cyclone by pipes are used to remove the dust. They contain cartridge filters with automated cleaning units that use pulses of compressed air. The filtered dust passes through the dust hoppers fitted with slit valves below the cleaning units and into Big Bags. The fans connected to the units have a total airflow of 37,500 m 3/hour and a pressure difference of 250 daPa with a total power output of 37.5 kW. To enable the cleaned air to be returned to the factory building and to save heating energy, an additional extractor with a secondary fine filter has been fitted, which results in a dust concentration in the waste air of <0.6 mg/m 3. The control unit is equipped with a PLC and ensures that the machine functions without problems. The machine is operated via a touch panel with a text display. Several configurable blasting programs are available for components of different sizes to ensure that the results of the blasting process are reproducible. The machine’s total electrical connected load is approximately 336 kW. In the area around the turbines in the blasting zone, soundproofing has been installed to reduce the noise produced by the machine to a maximum of 85 db(A) when it is in operation. Because the process is largely automated, manual intervention is only needed in the loading and unloading areas and for additional cleaning tasks. The machine, which weighs around 170 tonnes in total, was installed and commissioned within the scheduled period of nine weeks and was then handed over to the bridge manufacturer ready for operation.

This article describes process improvements of this kind using the example of different suppliers to the automotive industry and shows how measuring a plastic coating immediately after it has been applied helps to increase the quality of the coating and prevents parts from being rejected. V ariations in the plastic coating process often result in the plastic not being applied evenly. If inline measurements are made using the CoatMaster device from Winterthur Instruments, deviations in the process can be identified at an early stage and corrected by adjusting the process parameters. Plastic coatings on plain bearings, seals and other metal components are an essential feature of the automotive industry. Without these coatings, the parts could not function without generating friction, because their surfaces are exposed to specific loads. For example, the sliding properties and, therefore, the accurate fit of plain bearings and pistons are extremely important for their function. If a coating is too thick, the component will no longer fit in its intended position. If a coating is too thin, it will wear away under load. As a result, the manufacturing process for plain bearings and pistons has to meet very high standards. and corrected at an early stage. The result is a controlled process which remains within tight tolerances. The device has already been successfully used to measure plastic coatings in the production line, as the following two examples show. Identifying problems early A manufacturer of plain bearings needed to measure the plastic coating on the half shells that would later be used to make the bearings while they were still wet. Incorrect settings, together with ageing and wear of system components, can lead to the coating being applied outside the required tolerances. The existing magnetic induction measuring system used for quality assurance purposes has to come into contact with the coated half shells. This means that the coating can only be measured once it has dried, which wastes at least half an hour. As a result, by the time the reference measurement is taken to identify any problems with the process, at a production rate of 40 half shells per minute, around 1200 half shells will have passed through the coating process. The CoatMaster will now be used to detect any deviations in the process immediately after the coating is applied, by measuring the thickness of the coating on the wet half shells. Firstly, the thickness of the dried plastic coating is determined using the CoatMaster. The results are compared with those of a magnetic induction measurement in the same position. With an R 2 of 0.98, both methods cor- The CoatMaster device from Winterthur Instruments allows coating properties such as thickness, porosity and thermal resistance to be measured in real time using a non-destructive, noncontact method. This means that deviations in the process can be identified Typical applications for plastic coatings in an engine manufactured to very high standards include the antifriction coating on the side of a piston (dark grey). 50 Measuring wet coatings JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 respond very closely. The standard deviation is identified over five repeated measurements. For the CoatMaster it is 0.2 μm and for the magnetic induction method 0.5 μm. This means that the results of the magnetic induction method have to be averaged over six measurements in order to achieve a comparable level of accuracy to that of the CoatMaster. The coating on the half shells is measured vertically and from the side at an angle of around 50° using the CoatMaster, which means that the thickness can be determined reliably at different positions on the half shell without having to tip up the measuring device. Therefore, significantly more points on the half shell can be measured in the same amount of time when compared with the magnetic induction method. In order to allow problems to be identified at an early stage of the process, the CoatMaster measures the coating while it is still wet. Using the measurement of the wet film, the device predicts the thickness of the dry coating. For calibration purposes, a measurement is taken of a sample with a coating 8 μm thick, which is the required thickness. Then samples with thinner and thicker coatings are measured with this single-point calibration. The CoatMaster reliably detects deviations from the tolerance range, which enables incorrect settings, ageing and wear to be identified early and rectified immediately without wasting time or materials. Documenting the coating process reliably At a piston manufacturing company, the coating process is adjusted on the basis of measurements of the diameter of the dry piston before and after coating. However, it takes around two hours for the coated pistons to dry and to reach the correct temperature for the second diameter measurement. Using the CoatMaster, the thickness of the anti-friction coating on the piston can be measured while it is still wet, in order to save time. The thickness of the coating on both friction surfaces is measured automatically for every piston and the JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 Inline measuring series with the CoatMaster on both sides of a piston (red one side, blue other side) with wet plastic coating. From the graph it can be seen that during the first four measurements the coating thickness exceeds or falls below the tolerance range (pink area). After the coating plant was readjusted prior to the fifth measurement, the coating thickness is within the tolerance range on both sides. The results of the diameter measurement (grey cross) are always within the tolerance range and do not allow any conclusions about symmetry. results are shown on a display. The measurements indicate that the coating thickness is sometimes above and sometimes below the specified tolerance range. The tactile measurement of the diameter of the dry piston, which takes place two hours after the coating process and, therefore, two hours after the CoatMaster measurement, shows that the diameter is well within the tolerance range, but the asymmetrical distribution of the coating is not identified. However, the measurements made by the CoatMaster enable the uneven application of the coating to be detected immediately and to be resolved by adjusting the coating system. After this, the thickness of the coating on both sides of the piston is within the tolerance range. The CoatMaster has helped to ensure that the coating is applied evenly on both sides of the piston and, therefore, that the piston is symmetrical. This guarantees that the piston fits accurately in the plain bearing. In addition, the tolerances for the process can be made increasingly tight and the start-up time for the coating system shortened considerably, because the CoatMaster allows the thickness of the anti-friction coating on the test pis- tons to be measured while the coating is still wet. The ageing process of the doctor blades can also be monitored. This guarantees that they can be replaced before they become too soft and the coating too thick. Shorter production times and more accurate process data Using the CoatMaster, companies that apply plastic coatings can respond rapidly to problems with their coating processes. This not only shortens the production time, but also ensures that the required quality standards are met. The coating process can be fully documented for every part. In addition, the CoatMaster reduces the time needed for process monitoring and quality assurance while increasing the accuracy of the process data. The examples described above demonstrate that using the CoatMaster for inline measurements of the thickness of both wet and dry plastic coatings is the ideal solution, also on curved and porous surfaces.

The process produces wastewater which is heavily contaminated with heavy metals from the workpieces and the cone, in particular when copper-based holders are used. For this purpose, NGL supplies a liquid polishing additive (containing Tribo 110) which does not use NTA. It is ideal for use in drums for polishing parts and for producing a high-gloss finish on ferrous metals, copper, aluminium, silver and gold. The chemical effect is compatible with copper holders, porcelain and automatic highgloss systems. The additive provides good protection against corrosion. www.ngl-cleaning-technology.com Handy, Intuitive Devices for Measuring Coating Thickness H elmut Fischer has added a new automatically rotating graphical display and an easy-to-use menu system to its MP0R range of devices for measuring coating thickness. This means that the devices each have two displays to make reading the measurements easier in the different positions that the systems are used in, such as above head height or in areas that are difficult to access. The main display rotates depending on the position of the device. Visual and audible signals inform users about the measurement results and indicate whether they are inside or outside the specifications. Saved measurements can also be shown on the display. In addition, individual f ig ures c an b e analysed and statistical values can be requested. This enables users to identify anomalies and to monitor compliance with the specified tolerances. The robust devices provide good repeatability, statistics func- tions and standards-based calibration. The hard metal pin used as a probe is wear-resistant and particularly durable. According to the manufacturer, it will last for many more measurement cycles than conventional hardened metal pins. The measurement regulations relating to the 90/10 rule, in accordance with the requirements of the Performance Standard for Protective Coatings issued by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO PSPC), and the SSPC-PA2 measurement regulation issued by the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) are also stored in the measuring devices. This means that the devices are ideal for measuring anti-corrosion coatings. They can be connected to a PC via a USB port and the measurements can be evaluated and logged using the DataCenter software package. The different device models use either the magnetic induction method (Permascope), the eddy current method (Isoscope) or both (Dualscope). The devices automatically identify the substrate and select the appropriate measurement process. www.helmut-fischer.com Intelligent Coatings Increase Competitiveness T he powder coating manufacturer Adapta Color has presented two new collections for architectural applications, Vivendi A08 and A12, together with the Smart Coatings Booklet, which includes powder coatings with new 52 functional properties. For example, the photocatalytic +Bio-Nox powder coating converts environmentally harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) into harmless substances. The nitrogen oxide particles from vehicle exhausts are captured, the gases that damage the environment are broken down (oxidative mineralisation) and, using ultraviolet radiation from sunlight and oxygen from the air, are turned into non-damaging nitrates. www.adaptacolor.com JOT International Surface Technology 2.2014 Modular Two-Component Mixing and Dispensing System F ast, efficient processes and accurate dosing are key factors for increasing productivity in the application of liquid coatings. During the process of expanding its range of FlexControl products, Wagner has focused even more closely on the efficiency of the systems. According to the manufacturer, the electronic control system of the new FlexControl Smart two-component mixing and dispensing machine allows for highly precise mixing and rapid recipe changes, while at the same time offering extremely user friendly operation and reductions in material costs. In part as a result of the integrated, fully automatic rinsing function, the machine meets the highest standards for coating metal, wood and plastic products with twocomponent materials. The new machine enables up to five paints and two hardening agents to be used. The Start, Stop, Flush and Change Recipe functions can be activated quickly and easily using four buttons or a remote control unit. Reci- pes can be selected from the touch screen or via a USB port from management software on a PC, which also allows the data to be managed ef ficiently. The additional functions make it possible to configure the FlexControl Smart to meet individual needs. The VM 5000 electro- static control unit increases safety for users and the machine. It automatically switches off the high-voltage supply during feeding or flushing processes. A gun distributor valve allows individual guns to be cleaned independently in two-gun applications. In flushing mode, the double dump valve keeps the ready - mixe d material already in the machine and the flushing agent separate from one another, which not only makes manual use of the system easier, but also saves time and cuts costs. In the case of automatic applications, the mixing and dosing unit can exchange information with a robot, which guarantees the reliability of the process. The machine can also be used for processing threecomponent materials. www.wagner-group.com Effective Cleaning of Sensitive Substrates H ighly sensitive surfaces and components with very delicate struc- tures, such as those found in the semiconductor industry, microsystems, nanotechnology and microoptics, present major challenges for parts cleaning machines. On the one hand even the tiniest particles must be removed reliably, while on the other hand the cleaning process must not damage the surface. Weber Ultrasonics has developed the 1 MHz Ultrasonic Micro Cleaning (UMC) module generator for these highly demanding cleaning tasks. The 19” megasonic generator has a power output of 250 and 500 watts and can easily be adapted to meet individual cleaning requirements.
