On November 21, Yuchai signed a memorandum of understanding with China Academy of Machinery Science & Technology (CAM for short). Both sides will intensify their cooperation in aspects like intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing during the 13th Five-year Plan period. Previously, Yuchai’s “Digitized Casting Room for Medium and Large Engine Cylinder Blocks” was included in the 2015 National Intelligent Manufacturing Special Project. This is the only selected project in Guangxi, a significant symbol of Yuchai’s transition from “made in Yuchai” to “created in Yuchai.” It also means that Yuchai is going to put a series of achievements into practice: over 20% decrease in operating cost, over 20% increase in production efficiency, over 10% decrease in non-conformity rate, and over 10% increase in energy efficiency. In fact, that project is not a fresh start for Yuchai. Through intelligentization, digitalization, informatization and networking, Yuchai manages to comprehensively upgrade the existing No. 1 casting production line, No. 3 heavy casting production line, and rapid prototyping workshop. Smart control technologies are applied for all processes including casting, core-making, finishing, and surface defect detection, in a more precise, labor-saving and efficient way. Robots are fundamental equipment in the field of intelligent manufacturing. Robots have been applied to Yuchai’s automatic casting line as early as in 2004. Now, more than 50 robots are functioning orderly in processes like coring, core assembling, dip-coating, conveying, core setting, and shakeout. Take conveying robots for an example. The positioning deviation of manual core conveying is relatively large, often affecting the accuracy of the next process of molding and core-setting. After robots replace crane-aided manual conveying, efficiency increases by two times as cores are placed to delivering pipes in a labor-saving and precise way. Yuchai’s large marine engine workshop is responsible for the manufacturing of YC6C and YC12VC series. Some of these hefty products weigh up to seven or eight tons. Three robots are responsible for the carrying and installment of main bearings, the installment of connecting rods and piston pins, and the installment of pistons and rod assemblies, respectively. Not only human labor is saved, but also product quality is ensured and productivity is remarkably enhanced. In addition to the application of robots, Yuchai also leverages other means like project cooperation and informatization upgrading to constantly fine-tune its manufacturing capacity. In 2013, Yuchai and CAM conducted a joint application of 600,000 Sets/Year Digitized Casting Room for Medium and Large Engine Cylinder Heads project. This project is to undergo acceptance check by the end of the year. And now equipment is at the final stage of installation and debugging. After the competition of this project, Yuchai will become the first engine maker in China to have a digital casting workshop. Next year, Yuchai will popularize MES systems in its workshops to improve its ability of collaborative manufacturing by means of “Internet +” strategy. Yuchai is actively implementing intelligent manufacturing strategy by fulfilling “Made in China 2025”. According to the plan, from 2011 to 2015, Yuchai will spare no effort in realizing digital manufacturing; from 2015 to 2018, Yuchai will focus on networked manufacturing as its main goal; from 2018 to 2022, Yuchai will gradually realize its goal of intelligent manufacturing,

Smart bearing improves turbine efficiency Egyptian engineering researcher Ali El-Shafei, has patented the 'Smart Electro-Mechanical Actuator Journal Integrated Bearing', after eight years of design and development at Cairo University. According to Professor El-Shafei, this ‘smart’ bearing improves the performance of turbines in power plants that combine gas and steam technologies, and of traditional electricity generators. In an interview with SciDev.Net, he said: “Importing designs from abroad has been the norm in developing countries. With this innovation, we will export the design and the product.” The innovation extends the life of journal or plain bearings ‒ a mechanical part whose function is to support heavy machinery and prevent the friction, wear and tear, and erosion that affects the surfaces of rapidly rotating parts. They also help control the movement of blades in the machinery. El-Shafei underlined that the innovation also cuts maintenance costs for turbines. ‟Improving the efficiency of the power-generating turbines operating in combined cycle plants, as well as conventional generators, will significantly cut energy costs." In addition, it helps increase their lifespan by 10%; turbines and generators generally work only between 70-85% of the year as they stop due to malfunction or need for maintenance. Smart turbine features Another feature of the 'smart turbine', Professor El-Shafei said it comes in two halves, making it easy to install in old machines to increase their efficiency. SciDev.Net highlighted that, over the past two decades, scientifically and technologically-advanced industrial nations have been working on developing a 'smart' journal bearing. But success has been elusive. El-Shafei filed a patent in the United States in 2010, and another is on its way this year. He revealed that the innovation has caught the attention of manufacturing giants such as Siemens and General Electric. The innovation also received recognition by winning the grand prize worth $100,000 at this year's Innovation Prize for Africai in Ghana. ‟I had a clear vision from the very beginning," says El-Shafei. "I used to [believe] and I still believe in the value of innovation as vital for developing countries." Perkins has expanded its industrial engine range with the addition of the 2400 Series at EU Stage V. Focused on delivering power density and performance, the 12.5 litre engine will be capable of power up to 430 kW (577 hp) and 2640 Nm torque. The Perkins® 2400 Series, which is being shown for the first time at Agritechnica 2017, will utilise advance technologies including a compact aftertreatment, non-EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) air system and the latest electronics - controlling all engine and aftertreatment systems with a single engine mounted control module - to provide high performance characteristics while lowering customer’s cost of ownership. Perkins design technology and high-efficiency SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) are the key enablers for a combined DPF/SCR (Diesel Particulate Filter) and DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) aftertreatment. Designed for transparent thermal management, the aftertreatment requires no operator interaction and has no impact on machine performance. The small package size and flexible mounting options will lower the cost of installation and are ideal for the agricultural and construction sectors. The 2400 Series is designed to meet Stage V and U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final. In addition, Perkins will be certifying all existing Stage IV/Tier 4 Final products in its 9-18 litre range to meet Stage V. With DPF technologies already in place, only minimal changes will be made to the DPF core to meet the emission standards. All products in this range – 1700 Series, 2200 Series, 2400 Series, 2500 Series and 2800 Series – will offer dual certification for Stage V and Tier 4 Final, providing customers with robust, global engine and aftertreatment solutions. “To address the diverse requirements of a global emissions landscape, we’ve taken a customer’s approach. From Stage III/Tier 3 equivalent to Stage V/Tier 4 Final, we offer reliable, high performance engines across common core platforms, focused on reducing their cost to install and operate,” said James Schnuriger, Perkins product marketing manager for 9-13 litre engines. Perkins engine for EU Stage V machine From 2019, EU Stage V will be phased in for off-highway diesel and mobile electric power engines across the full power range. Through ongoing collaboration with Perkins, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will be able to meet the Stage V emissions standards while producing a new generation of machines that match end users’ demands for value, innovation and performance.

The compact aftertreatment and flexible mounting options will provide high performance characteristics while lowering customer’s cost of ownership and installation, making it ideal for the agricultural sector. Adding value by design “We deliver the very best customer value while ensuring our customers achieve the latest emission standards,” said Matthew Nurse, product manager at Perkins. “From initial concept through to tailored aftermarket solutions, OEMs can be sure of industry-leading technology and services designed for their business and applications.” New 5 and 13-liter engines with complementary aftertreatment systems are being revealed for the first time at Agritechnica, a leading international trade fair for agricultural machinery.
Optimized for tomorrow, the new EU Stage V engines feature the latest technology and are an ideal fit for agricultural customers, where excellent fuel efficiency, low emissions, high productivity and reliability are required. The 13-liter engine with exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS) is a great choice for harvesters and large machinery; while the 5-liter solution is ideal for smaller agricultural equipment. Both are part of the full line-up of Volvo Penta’s Stage V engine range – D5, D8, D11, D13 and D16, offering a power range from 105 to 565 kW (143-770 hp). “As new emissions regulations are on the horizon for 2019, we know that OEMs are planning now on how to move towards this new chapter for equipment manufacturing,” says Johan Carlsson, chief technology officer at Volvo Penta. “With our new engine solutions, OEMs can be sure that their customers will get the right power output for their needs at the appropriate emissions levels. We offer an excellent solution for manufacturers and operators, one that will also help preserve the viability of the environment.” Sustainability for the environment; sustainability for customers Through its Stage V platform, Volvo Penta offers a premium range of options for land cultivation and the harvesting of crops, as well as associated industries such as forestry. The company regularly works with OEMs and end-user customers to create state-of-the-art technology. Its Stage V engines are produced with a common architecture, for ease of installation, service and maintenance. “We have more than 100 years of engineering excellence that continues to be developed,” says Giorgio Paris, head of the industrial engine segment at Volvo Penta. “Environmental care is one of our core values, but we also recognize that business sustainability is vital for our customers, and so we want to help them in providing the most suitable options for their requirements.” The new 13-liter EU Stage V engine – TAD1381-1385VE – is a powerful, reliable and fuel efficient six-cylinder unit. It has a maximum output of 405 kW (551 hp) at 1900 rpm. The new 5-liter EU Stage V engine – TAD580-582VE – is a four-cylinder unit, backed by the same reliability and fuel efficiency as its big brother, the D13. It has a maximum output of 160 kW (218 hp) at 2200 rpm. Both are designed to deliver maximum power and torque at low rpm. This results in optimized performance, including smooth operation, low noise, and world-class fuel efficiency. Both are equipped with all the key features of Volvo Penta’s Stage V concept. Engineered with a perfectly matched EATs The new D5 and 13 engines are compact, with hardware layout and electrical interfaces that are compatible with engines of earlier emissions legislation. The air inlet throttle, together with the uncooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and the electrical exhaust pressure governor (EPG) deliver highly effective heat management of the engine. This enables the system to function without the need to inject fuel into the exhaust stream to raise the temperature. With this approach, the exhaust gas has an optimal temperature when it passes through the EATS. Low heat rejection from the complete system means that less cooling is required. “With our Stage V solution, the exhaust temperature is lower than the average exhaust temperatures of many competitor solutions on the market today,” says Johan Carlsson. “A lower exhaust temperature can deliver big benefits to all customers, but especially those in agricultural, materials handling and forestry applications – environments where higher exhaust temperatures can have particular health and safety implications.” The new engines and complementary exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS) work in harmony to comply with forthcoming EU Stage V emissions standards. The EATS includes the following components: Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC); Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF); Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR); and Ammonia Slip Catalyst (ASC). Maximizing productivity In addition to the 5 and 13-liter engines, Volvo Penta is also announcing an updated power output for its 8-liter Stage V engine. It has been verified through extensive testing that the TAD880-884VE delivers a power output of 250 kW (340 hp) – compared to 235 kW (320 hp) – announced earlier this year. Volvo Penta’s Stage V engines and EATS are designed to work together to maximize passive regeneration during normal operation. There is no high-temperature regeneration, because the sulfur regeneration in the SCR catalyst is not required. Only soot regeneration is needed to clean the DPF. No additional fuel injector (7th injector) for sulfur regeneration is needed. This leads to increased fuel efficiency and uptime for operators. “Our engines power agricultural applications all over the world – contributing to the overall productivity,” says Giorgio Paris. “Customers in Europe can be assured that our Stage V engine solutions offer excellent performance and fuel efficiency with appropriately low emissions, and all the convenience that a common platform provides.” As agriculture becomes ever more a mechanised industry, farmers are increasingly looking for machines that can work the fields efficiently. The cultivation of crops is one sector that is ideally suited to this, and for machines to work optimally, they need efficient engines. Italian manufacturer, Caffini, knows this well. The company, based near Verona, was founded in 1924, initially to repair farming equipment, and is one of the first companies in Italy to have pioneered the mechanisation of the agricultural industry. Since 1980, it has produced self-propelled boom sprayers and mist-blower sprayers for orchards. It is located in a valley that is known for growing apples, pears, peaches, grapes, cereals, and tobacco. And as its reputation and customer based has grown, Caffini now exports its products across Europe and to Russia, China, and South America. One of its most popular boom sprayers is the Striker, which dispenses pesticides and liquid fertilizers. There are three existing models in the range, with varying axle heights, from 1,250-1,800mm, and different axle widths – for different crops – and tank capacities of up to 5,000 liters. A new model, the Striker Levante, will be unveiled at Agritechnica, with an axle height of 1500-2000mm. Caffini uses Volvo Penta’s five-liter engines in its machines. “We use Volvo Penta engines on our self-propelled Striker sprayer range, which are our most prized machines, and we chose them because Volvo Penta represents quality and reliability,” says Gerardo Caffini, technical director at Caffini. “Our customers feel safe in the knowledge that our engines are manufactured by a recognised, global brand.” Technical solutions and reliable service The Striker is a four-wheel drive unit, with hydro-pneumatic suspension for stability on uneven ground, and is equipped with an anti-skid system. Mechanical track adjustment is made via a hydraulic jack lift. The twin fold-out boom arms are stabilized with an oscillating pendulum system, which assures parallel operation for even spraying. The unit is also fitted with a hydraulic trim to enable the booms to adapt to sloping terrain. It has rear cameras, and overview cameras that permit a 360° vision; an on-board computer enables automatic control of distribution and provides GPS positioning as well as sensors and alarms for obstacles. The Striker machines are the first sprayers in the world to be connected directly to the factory to permit data exchange and software upgrades remotely. The Striker range is powered by Volvo Penta’s TAD571VE engine. Caffini also uses Volvo Penta’s TAD551VE and TAD552VE engines in other machines. “We really appreciate the technical solutions applied by these engines, such as the torque value at low RPM and good fuel consumption,” says Matteo Cefali, Caffini’s production manager. “Volvo Penta also provides great customer service – their team consistently provides fast, efficient and decisive service, anywhere on the planet. Reliable service on a global scale is very important to us, as it means we can guarantee our customers that help is always available if they need it.” Committed to environmental care Volvo Penta’s TAD571 VE is an off-road, in-line 4-cylinder, 5.1-liter diesel engine. It features common-rail fuel injection, overhead camshaft, and a variable geometry turbo. Its high-tech injection system contributes to efficient combustion and low fuel consumption. High power and torque are available at low rpm. It also produces low noise, and is a compact engine which is easy to install and service. Volvo Penta is revealing its new 5-liter and 13-liter engine solutions for EU Stage V emissions regulations, at Agritechnica, along with updated power outputs for its 8-liter model. Caffini anticipates a continuing collaboration with Volvo Penta as the forthcoming emissions stage is implemented. “We are committed to providing technological innovation and environmental care,” says Cefali. The relationship between the two companies has been established for four years. “Caffini has been a pioneer in agricultural manufacturing for a long time and is rightly discerning about what engines it chooses to power its machinery,” says Giorgio Paris, head of the industrial segment at Volvo Penta. “Our five-liter engines are a great choice for them, and for the farming industry in general, as they are powerful, compact and reliable. We look forward to continue working with Caffini in future.” Volvo Penta will be displaying its products in Hall 16 Stand C23, at Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany, from November 12-18. |
