SMC has commissioned T and G Compressor Services of Daventry to design and install a compressor house and compressed air network for its new £12 million expanded manufacturing site
Having commissioned T and G compressor Services of Daventry to design and install a compressor house and compressed air network for its new £12 million expanded manufacturing site, SMC Pneumatics (UK) Ltd were well aware of the magnitude of the house management task that had been set. The demanding requirements of SMC's existing manufacturing, inspection, warehouse and exhibition areas needed to be met without risk of failure, but the system also needed to be flexible enough to meet the company's growth expectations, ensuring that the current high levels of customer service are maintained in the future.

Pneumatics training made to measure
A new initiative offers bespoke pneumatics training to industry, complimenting SMC Pneumatics' recent accreditations from City and Guilds and EMTA Awards
Following the installation of not one but two Fluidair Rotopak compressors, and over 4000 metres of three-inch and two-inch pipework, the system then needed to be tested for air purity and pressure drop across the site.
Bob Farr, Facilities Manager for SMC Pneumatics (UK) Ltd, believes it would have been difficult for the installation to have been completed more smoothly.
'Extensive testing has shown that the end result of the project is zero pressure drop from one side of the factory to the other, and maintenance of air that is of better than breathable quality.' However, accuracy and efficiency can create other, unforeseen problems.
The compressor house was operating on a 'Master and Slave' system, whereby the 'Master' compressor works to compensate for air usage.
With such a system, if air pressure then begins to subsequently fall, the 'Slave' compressor is automatically activated.

In the authentic usage situation, it was discovered that the 'Slave' compressor was only actually been activated first thing each morning, during start-up of the system.
Therefore, in order to evenly distribute wear-and-tear, it was concluded that compressor use should be alternated, thus providing a more balanced service schedule.
Having envisaged that a small control system would be required, Control System Design Engineer Mark Brinsley knew that the team would not have to look too far.

'Having recently introduced PneuAlpha to SMC's already extensive product range, we were confident that the 'in-house' product would perform this function perfectly.' Prior to the introduction of PneuAlpha, SMC's compressors were started and shut down manually.
They therefore remained running for 24 hours at a time, even though out-of-hours workload was minimal.
At this stage, the automatic switchover, to ensure even running schedule, had not yet been introduced.
Apart from being significantly more cost-effective than a PLC controller, PneuAlpha also offers a wide range of features.
This provides additional efficiency and cost-saving benefits.
At SMC, the Timer Control now automatically operates the system to run between 8.00am and 8.30pm each working day.
Although the compressors remain 'live' at all times; they only operate if and when the delivery pressure switches indicate a demand.
The units are also now switched off over weekends and holiday periods.
The 'Master and Slave' alternation running time is monitored, and after half of each service life the principle compressor is switched.
SMC's compressor control system now incorporates the PneuAlpha controller, which is housed within a 300 x 150 x 120mm enclosure.
The software written offers the following benefits - Timer Control, Master and Slave Alternation, Manual Over-ride, Service Warning Lamps, Lamp Test Functions, Work Done Hour Count Function and Date and Clock Function.
As Bob Farr concludes, 'PneuAlpha is a low cost controller that comes with its own user-friendly software.
This enables programs to be easily written for a vast array of applications, irrespective of the demands of the specific situation.
These levels of simplicity, flexibility and value are without equal.'

Valves answer requests from process industry and PET machine builders for both two- and three-port pilot-operated solenoid valves with high pressure performance
This new module is supplied pre-wired and fully assembled, ready for immediate installation and programming.
Once programmed, it is possible to provide interrogation of component quality and improved planned maintenance systems.
In addition to controlling valves, PneuAlpha also allows the user to monitor variables, such as pressure levels and the number of valve cycles.
These levels of functionality and simplicity, coupled with a range of options that can satisfy even the most advanced requirements, ensure that PneuAlpha delivers the practical benefits required - proven effectiveness, reduced costs and minimal set-up and maintenance input.
The PneuAlpha Intelligent Valve Island Controller module provides not only low cost maintenance, but also planned maintenance.
This in turn ensures improved production efficiency.
Reduction of downtime increased output and therefore increasing profitability, whilst saving on resources and reducing costs.
Programming the controller is simple - the unit utilises Visual Logic Software (on CD Rom) which can be manipulated via a personal computer.
Anyone can drag, drop, point and click their way through a complete programme - perfect for the novice and yet sophisticated for the more demanding user.

The system enables high train frequencies to be maintained in poor weather conditions, by improving adhesion and by improving track condition.
Wheel flats can be avoided, improving ride quality and reducing train maintenance costs - and even avoiding the risk of derailment from a large wheelflat.
This train anti-lock brake system uses axle-speed sensors, an electronic control unit and pneumatic dump valves - each incorporating a specially designed bank of four Parker Pneumatic solenoid valves - which are located next to the brake actuators and are used to control the applied force of the friction brake.

The electronic control unit detects axle and vehicle speed, controls braking forces, drives the speedometer, controls sanding, and carries out diagnostic monitoring.
Sensors - one per axle - can be the passive type (magnetic) or optical, although active (proximity) sensors with a toothed wheel are the most common.
The car-based wheelslide controller monitors and controls all axles independently to compare their performance and detects low adhesion when there is a speed difference or excessive deceleration in one or more axles.
The system's technique for detecting the correct train speed is to release single axles in a controlled manner, allowing them to return to the train speed.
Slip is controlled at 15 to 20% levels, which allows heating to take place through friction between the wheel and rail, reducing rail wetness or contamination ã following axles therefore have better adhesion levels, minimising the stopping distance.
In the case of wet leaves on the line, no such cleaning or track conditioning takes place, but the system will still maximise use of available adhesion to brake the train without the wheels locking up.
Sanding is helpful in wet leaf conditions, but it is vital not to use too much sand, as signalling circuits can be affected.
The Westinghouse system allows sand to be applied behind the leading axle or bogie, with the leading axle or axles being used to monitor the adhesion level and determine when to apply sand.
