Chris Rand, Editor, writes:
The headline in this
year's "Which?" report on car reliability was the ascent to the
top category of Ford, joining the various Japanese brands which
have been camped there for years. It can't be a coincidence that
Ford's reliability has coincided with a period where its design
in general has been held in such high regard. All of its mainstream models, such as the class-leading Focus, have been
major hits with motoring journalists and the public alike. But it
would seem the good design was not limited to the driving
experience.
When I studied engineering at university in the
1980s, "Designing for Quality" was a hot topic, alongside
"Designing for Manufacture". I don't hear as much about those
topics today; perhaps that's just because they've been so
assimilated into the engineering culture. But I'm not so sure.
It's more likely that the consultants have found other things to
move on to. Yet outside the Far East, the need to cut manufacturing costs is more critical than ever. Design has a
crucial role to play here.
Whilst the popular
perception is that quality is a manufacturing issue, we know that
in practice, it stems from design and engineering. Get the design
process right, and exemplary product quality should be as much of
a result as good product performance.
I hope you find this
issue of our weekly newsletter useful.

OUR TOP NEW PRODUCT SELECTION ====================================================================
[1] METER CUTS THE COST OF FLOW MEASUREMENT (ABB
Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation), 01 Aug 2005)
It's claimed that the cost of electromagnetic flow measurement can
be cut by up to 20% with the FXL4000 (COPA-XL range) flow meter
from ABB. Featuring a lightweight sensor with integrated
electronics, the device offers a cost-effective method of
measuring flow in a wide range of chemical and water industry
applications, including drinking water conditioning plants,
dosing stations and sewage treatment plants. With no moving parts
and zero maintenance, the ABB COPA-XL can be installed directly
in the pipe without the need for additional mountings. The
COPA-XL is a true full bore meter and causes no additional
resistance to flow.

[2] COMPACT SERVO AMPLIFIER COMES AS PCB-MOUNT BLOCK (Motion Control Products, 04 Aug 2005)
Billed as the
world's smallest analogue servo drivers, the Ocarina series of
miniature servo amplifiers are designed for brushed and brushless
rotary or linear servomotors. Each device incorporates custom
mixed analogue and digital ICs and a hybrid power stage. Measuring 46.5 x 55 x 15mm, weighing in at only 45g and packaged in
a totally enclosed PCB mounting block, the Ocarina is claimed to
be most densely packed high performance servo drive on the
market.

[3] HANDHELD RIVETING TOOL TAKES TO THE FIELD (Henrob
Direct, 29 Jul 2005)
Available now from Henrob Direct, the
RivLite is a handheld battery-powered tool for installing rivets
where complete portability is required, such as field
applications or on-site repair. The tool features a modular
design, which allows interchangeable tooling options such as
C-frames of different sizes, noses for 3 or 5mm diameter rivets
and a special nose for setting threaded self-pierce studs.

[4] GOLD ELECTROFORMING ALLOWS INTRICATE CONSTRUCTIONS (Abssac, 02 Aug 2005)
Drawing on more than 40 years of
experience, a new patent-pending electroforming technology allows
Abssac to supply solid gold electroforms. Enabling the use of
gold within applications has allowed some remarkable properties
of the material to be exploited; it is the most nonreactive of
all metals, and does not react with oxygen, which means it will
not oxidise or tarnish. Gold is among the most electrically
conductive of all metals and is able to convey even a tiny
electrical current in temperatures varying from -55 to +200C. The
electroforming process is especially crafted for tolerance-critical miniature parts and makes them suitable for
both flexible bellows and rigid electroformed components.

[5] SOFT START VALVE IS EASY ON DOWNSTREAM EQUIPMENT (Norgren, 02 Aug 2005)
Norgren is now offering a novel
monitored soft start dump valve to help avoid machine downtime.
An integral microswitch monitors the dump function, ensuring that
the valve is in the signalled position prior to the next machine
operation. Based on a 0.5in pipe, the valve delivers a high
forward flow and dump flow capacity.

[7] SOFTWARE TURNS CONTROLLERS TO SAFETY PLC TASKS (Pilz
Automation Technology, 01 Aug 2005)
With the release of the
Pilz PNOZmulti Configurator software version 4, users can create
more complex safety-related control programs for execution on
PNOZmulti modular controllers. The user interface has also been
improved to simplify the preparation and modification of larger
programs, and the diagnostics have been enhanced to aid commissioning and troubleshooting. This means the PNOZmulti
modular safety controller is suitable for a far wider range of
applications than before, potentially replacing some costly
safety PLC applications for relatively complex safety control
tasks.

[8] VALVES KEEP HYDRAULIC LEGS IN CHECK (Sterling
Hydraulics, 01 Aug 2005)
When hydraulic stabiliser legs on
mobile equipment are fully extended, full relief valve pressure
can be trapped behind the check valve. If this pressure is
released rapidly when retracting the leg, the resulting
decompression shock produces an initial sudden movement,
accompanied by a loud noise. To eliminate these problems, which
are of major concern to the users of mobile equipment, Sterling Hydraulics has developed a new version of its proven D02B2 check valve. This has been specifically engineered to provide a heavily restricted initial opening phase, which ensures controlled
pressure release. In stabiliser leg applications, noise and shock
are, therefore, completely eliminated.

[9] REMOTE MONITORING AND LOGGING COME TOGETHER (Jekyll
Electronic Technology, 29 Jul 2005)
Measuring instruments
with either pulsed or digital outputs can now be connected to the
Jekyll's Telelog, allowing a simple but effective approach to
data collection, logging, remote interrogation and communications. Two versions are available. For control and instrumentation engineers, systems integrators and design
engineers, the Alarm Telelog provides an ideal way to add
communications to a low cost meter. Its ability to generate an
alarm that can be sent directly to a central location or via SMS
to field personnel means they can be informed of abnormal or
fault conditions immediately. The Pulsar Telelog works with any
meter that provides a pulsed output and is ideal to interface
with utility meters for accurate, up to the minute monitoring of
energy usage.
