Achieving automation with ASICs

21st February 2024 News, Sensors and Transducers Comments Off on Achieving automation with ASICs 16

When it comes to machinery, ‘seeing’ its surroundings is one thing — but being able to interpret this information usefully is another altogether. Here, Ross Turnbull, Director of Business Development and Product Engineering at ASIC company Swindon Silicon Systems explains the importance and benefits of ASIC-driven proximity sensors in a smart facility.

Proximity sensors are responsible for detecting the presence of an object and converting this into an electrical signal. As a result, they’re found in a wealth of applications, effectively acting as the machinery’s eyes. In an industrial setting, proximity sensors play a vital role in enabling factory automation, whether it’s the conveyer belt transporting goods throughout, or to provide calibration functionalities within computer numerical control (CNC) and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).

There’s a safety aspect to their use too. Proximity sensors placed around hazardous processes can notify workers that may be too close and warn them to move away. In a situation where the worker is seriously at risk of harm, the sensor can also provide an automatic shutoff.

Spatial sensing

So, how do proximity sensors work? There are a few types of proximity sensors available, depending on the required sensitivity and material of the object they must detect.

A popular type is the capacitive proximity sensor, which detects changes in capacitance caused by the presence of an object near the sensor. Metallic objects are typically easier to detect thanks to their conducting properties, but it’s possible for non-metal objects to be picked up by the sensor too. The success of non-metal object detection depends largely on three factors: the size of the sensor’s surface, the dielectric constant of the target material, and the size of the target object.

Another option is the inductive proximity sensor. Inductive-type proximity sensors use the principles of electromagnetism and Eddy currents to detect the presence of other objects, meaning they’re only suitable for detecting metallic objects. Though this does limit the use cases of inductive sensors, it can be an advantage in some scenarios. For example, environments that only require the detection of metal objects will benefit from the use of an inductive sensor, as the sensor is unlikely to give off false alerts due to dirt and debris.

Enhanced electronics

But selecting the right basis for your sensor system is only half the battle. While these proximity sensing elements can detect the presence of other objects, there’s still a need for this information to be processed and transformed into a meaningful output.

The signals generated by these sensing elements — whether they’re capacitive or inductive — are typically analogue. For these to be communicated and understood by other elements in an electronic system, they must be converted from an analogue to a digital signal.

This process of signal conditioning and conversion may be performed by one or more standard off-the-shelf ICs. But for a truly optimised system, design engineers should consider the benefits an Application Specific IC, or ASIC has to offer.

An ASIC is a custom IC that has been designed specifically for its destined application. This approach offers a superior design, giving manufacturers both the technical and commercial advantage over their competition. By considering the application right from the very beginnings of design, it’s possible to produce a fully optimised chip.

With the ability to embed microprocessors, memory and communication protocols within the ASIC, it’s possible for an experienced custom IC manufacturer to offer a fully integrated sensor interface, combining multiple functions onto a single chip for performance benefits as well as savings on space.

Once you’ve gained a competitive edge over your competition, you don’t want to lose it. IP protection is another key strength of ASIC design, and here at Swindon, we provide our customers with full ownership of their completed design. This means your IP won’t be sold onto other customers or used in-house within a standard product, helping you to retain your advantage.

As Industry 4.0 technologies mature and we look towards the next era of industrialisation, automation will play a major role. As a result, proximity sensors will likely be just another crucial tool in the arsenal of sensor system manufacturers. With the power and performance benefits of custom electronics, an ASIC could be what sets one sensor system apart from its competition.

It underscores our goal to deliver high quality and secure solutions for the energy and industrial sector. I would like to thank our dedicated team for their hard work and contribution to this milestone”.

Difference between ISO 27001 and SOC 2

The ISO 27001 certification is different from the SOC 2 attestation, which is a common security framework in the US market. While both frameworks aim to ensure data security, they have slightly different scopes and approaches.

The ISO 27001 certification covers the entire ISMS of an organisation, while the SOC 2 attestation focuses on specific security controls relevant to the services provided by an organisation. The ISO 27001 certification is more rigorous and comprehensive, as it requires an organisation to implement and maintain an ISMS that meets the universal standards for every industry and geographic location. The SOC 2 attestation is more flexible and tailored, as it allows an organisation to choose the security controls that suit its individual industry standards and needs. Both frameworks are valuable and respected in the market, but the ISO 27001 certification is more widely recognised and accepted internationally.

The future of maintenance: Schaeffler showcases combination of digital and personal service

19th February 2024 Monitoring and Metering, News Comments Off on The future of maintenance: Schaeffler showcases combination of digital and personal service 24

From February 21 to 22, 2024, maintenance in Dortmund, Germany’s leading trade show for industrial maintenance, will offer its audience an insight into the entire spectrum of industrial maintenance under the main motto “Predictive Maintenance: Next Generation”. Schaeffler is showcasing its comprehensive range of products, services and solutions in the fields of mounting, condition monitoring and bearing remanufacturing with its Lifetime Solutions portfolio at Booth 4-C30. The focus is on services for customers who wish to ensure the functional capability and increase the operating life of their bearings and machines.

“Maintenance teams face a variety of challenges in ensuring the smooth operation of their machines,” says Sebastian Mergler, Head of Product Marketing Schaeffler Lifetime Solutions, and adds: “Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence are important tools for modern maintenance, but our customers still want to have a ‘real’ partner at their side. At maintenance, we are therefore showing our wide-ranging service portfolio and focusing on a combination of digital solutions and personal consultation with, for example, our Virtual Fitter.”

New remote assembly service for maintenance work

Around 10 to 20 per cent of all bearing failures are caused by incorrect assembly and dismounting, so accurate maintenance work is essential. For this reason, Schaeffler added the Virtual Fitter to its Mounting Service portfolio at the end of 2023. With the aid of Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, Schaeffler’s global experts can provide assistance in the mounting of rolling bearings in real time without the need to be on site. If necessary, customers can decide whether they want to use the remote mounting service instead of on-site services and immediately receive AR glasses on loan, which they can wear during the inspection of their machine.

A Schaeffler mounting technician receives a comprehensive picture of the machine’s condition via a live stream and can give specific instructions and display important information in the customer’s field of view. The remote mounting service saves up to 50 per cent of the costs compared to an on-site service and enables faster knowledge transfer to the customer.

ECO-Adapt solutions supplement OPTIME range

At its booth, Schaeffler is also presenting the ECO-Adapt product range, which allows customers to monitor their electric powertrain and its energy consumption. In addition to OPTIME condition monitoring, which enables predictive maintenance based on the signal analysis of vibration and temperature data, the product PredictAdapt provides condition-related information based on the analysis of electrical signals. In this way, Schaeffler has expanded its range of monitoring services to include electrical condition monitoring and minimised the risk of failure of electric components. PowerAdapt also provides information about energy consumption, not only on rotating electrical machinery.

Sustainable and cost-effective maintenance through remanufacturing

The condition of rolling bearings has a significant influence on the entire production process. Condition monitoring solutions therefore play a central role. At the trade show booth, interested parties can learn all about the services provided by Schaeffler experts in the field of condition monitoring, from remote diagnosis to determining the cause of machine problems using various measurement methods directly on the machine and using endoscopes. Visitors to the booth can also find out about the numerous advantages of bearing reconditioning through remanufacturing services. The remanufacturing of existing bearings allows CO2 emissions to be reduced by up to 95 per cent compared to new bearings, as well as savings in terms of material and energy and enables a high degree of flexibility to be achieved through short delivery times. Andreas Krieg, Product Manager Schaeffler Remanufacturing Services, will be discussing these and further advantages in a presentation on the remanufacturing of rolling bearings on Thursday, February 22 (SolutionCenter, Hall 4, 02:00 – 02:30 p.m.).
