Nexen wanted to participate in the market opportunities presented by this growth. Therefore, Nexen identified technology which offered a significant val-ue proposition for motion control applications. In the end, Nexen identified, developed, and applied new technologies for the expanding motion control markets.What makes this product significantly different from other products?The technology behind Nexens Roller Pinion System (RPS) differentiates from other linear motion solutions in several respects. Most importantly, the Nexen technology delivers zero backlash motion. This motion is provided without error accumulating as the pinion travels. Other differentiators are lubeless operation, high accuracy and repeatability, and low noise generation.Any particular problems that arose during the development process?Like most new product development projects, the biggest challenge in the development process was managing the tradeoffs between product performance and product costs. Our goal was to offer maximum performance at a reasonable cost, and we feel the RPS technology delivers on that goal. What was the length of time from conception to ultimate production?There are several products in the RPS product line, with more in development. However, our base technology devel-opment was a two-year process.Did cost factors alter the final design of this product? The cost of the product was compared and bench-marked against other types of linear motion control solu-tions. As the RPS technology is unique in its value and performance, our comparisons were measured against other possible ways to accomplish the design goal. Throughout development, we always remembered that design engineers specify motion control solutions, and they have many op-tions to accomplish that goal. Nexens approach is to be the highest value option for those design engineers.Who are your target markets?There are many markets that can benefit from the RPS technology platform. Aerospace and machine tool were early adopters of the technology.Any other information you may feel is pertinent? Our customers have had extremely positive experi-ences with the RPS technology. One customer, a major furniture manufacturer, ran their drilling/milling machine 24/7 and needed to replace the Y-axis rack-and-pinion drive system every two months. The laminate particle board being processed on the machine produced a large amount of wood dust, that when mixed with the grease of the rack-and-pinion system, created an abrasive mixture attracting particulateresulting in premature rack wear, lost accuracy, and ultimately rusting the system. Due to the frequent downtime, the furniture manufacturer needed a second machining system to avoid downtime in the round-the-clock manufacturing operation. After seeing information on Nexens Roller Pinion System, the manufacturer worked with Nexen and installed the RPS on one of their two machines. Running with no lubrication, the RPS has been operating for two years without a problem. Further, Nexens RPS has not only eliminated downtime due to drive system failure, but it has dramatically improved drill/mill accuracy and overall process speed. By adding another RPS system on their second machine, the manufacturer doubled their capacity and saved money over the long term, improving the bottom line.What prompted ACE to develop this product? Were there new technologies, processes, or market demands behind its introduction and development?The KFS-VAF Volumetric Atomized Flux Applicator controls and dispenses atomized flux material for selective soldering on demand via a user-programmable control system. ACE designed this revolutionary new fluxing system to enhance throughput, performance, quality, and ultimately contribute to greater flexibility of the selective soldering process. Fluxing is a key part of selective soldering. Different types of fluxing are required for different connec-tions, such as very fine, pinpoint drop-jet fluxing, and larger-area atomized spray fluxing. The need to mechanically adjust traditional atomized spray fluxers during high product mix pro-cessing slows throughput and creates headaches particularly for EMS manufacturers producing shorter runs of multiple product types.How does this product differentiate from competing products?Other atomized fluxers require a mechanical adjustment every time the spray density needs to be changed. However, the ACE KFS-VAF doesnt require any mechanical adjustments. The spray volume and width are determined and set by user-programmed control parameters. Thus, varying amounts of coverage can be accomplished as needed on the same PCB in-processon the fly. This makes fluxing faster, easier, more precise; cuts waste; and enhances throughput by making the process more controllable, efficient, and flexible.What problems did you encounter during the development process?Since this had not been done before, it was necessary to develop a robust unit as well as the software to drive it and the control system to operate it. Its more than just the spray valve itself. It also had to be able to accommodate the various flux types and chemistries currently in use in selective soldering. The new KFS-VAF had to work well with all materials, every time.What was the length of time from conception to production?The KFS-VAF has been in the process of design, engineering, and test for more than three years.Were cost factors critical in the final design of the product?Not really. The benefit to the process in terms of greater efficiency, speed, and flexibility out-weigh any higher cost of this single unit. Removing the need for occasional operator intervention saves time and allows process engineers to work on other areas needing attention. The fluxer will pay for itself quickly in time and personnel cost savings, as well as enhanced process quality. Who is your target market and what advantages do you see users realizing for choosing this product?Our target market is anyone who is using the selective soldering process to manufacture electronic assemblies. Selective soldering is used by all of them, large volume producers as well as small mom-and-pop PCB assemblers. All can benefit from this technology, but those who will appreciate it most are probably medium to low volume, high product mix shops who will have an easier time by using a programmable fluxer, for which individual recipes for each separate product can be stored and used at will. This will also enhance repeatability, and greater overall quality through enhanced process control and consistency.Additional information might include some engineering background, customer experience, or other information our readers might enjoy.This new programmable fluxing system is a real game-changer for selective soldering users. It not only makes fluxing more efficient and controllable, but is ideal for use with all known fluxes, even up to 33% solids. The high percentage of solids that the KFS-VAF can be used with gives tremendous flexibility to the process engineer, who can now select from a wider range of available flux chemistries to handle difficult soldering applications. The KFS-VAF fluxer can be integrated side by side with the KFS-DJ Drop Jet Fluxer for dual technology David HeinVP Engineering, Nexen GroupUniversal Rack RollerPinion SystemAlan CablePresident,ACE Production TechnologiesKFS-VAF VolumetricAtomized Flux ApplicatorNED_BTS-DEC (Final).indd 24 12/2/11 3:26:42 PMNEW EQUIPMENT DIGEST 25DECEMBER 2011Did new technologies, manufacturing processes, or market demands factor into the introduction of this product?When DE-STA-CO looks at a market, it doesnt look at how to bring in a similar product thats faster, lighter, stronger. We utilize a VOC process that allows us to develop a product that addresses a need in the marketplace and puts the customer at the center of the strategy. We develop innovative products and focus our energies on new products and services that create uncontested market space. With the Rite-Link, we identified the challenges within the manufacturing environment of a few of our key markets, medical and life sciences, and used VOC input to identify insights for development. We used both primary and secondary research targeting a diverse range of customers, industry luminaries, channel partners, and partners within the medical industry. We then applied all the insights to develop a conveyor that addressed the specific needs of the industry.What distinguishes the Rite-Link from the competition?We took a broad spectrum view of the market and looked at where there was a manufacturing challenge that wasnt currently being addressed. We noted there were people building their own conveyors from chain-link, which is not very accurate or precise in motion processes and there was not a standard solu-tion. We designed a conveyor that would save time and money and outperform the homemade conveyors.With the Rite-Link, DE-STA-CO is providing customers with a conveyor that is more accurate, quiet, and reliable than chain-link and heavy-duty modular conveyors.Any particular problems encountered in the development process?Whenever youre bringing a product to the market, there are challenges. We were really focused, from an engineering stand-point, on a development we call value innovation. If were not able to offer the customer a product with innovation that they are willing to pay for, then its not innovation. We needed to bring a product with the right attributes to the market at a price that the customer would be willing to pay for those attributes. Deter-mining that can be a challenge, but by keeping the customers needs in mind, we work hard to make it a reality. How long did it take to bring the product from concept to production?Extensive testing goes into our product development to ensure its functionality. So for the total product development process (voice of customer research, development, cycle-time testing, etc.), the Rite-Link conveyor took one year to complete.Did cost factors change the final design of the product, and if so, how? We did our homework up front, so that was not a factor. Once we developed the product, we brought in a focus group that helped us refine the product attributes and features to the point we were able to develop a customer value proposition from it. What market are you going after and what benefits will they realize from using this product?Our primary markets are medical and life sciences. With the Rite-Link, users will experience a conveyor that offers superior accuracy and higher operating speeds. Particularly important for the medical and life sciences industries is precision position-ing applications, which cannot be had with roller chain conveyors.

Imagine the power of connecting all facets of the manufacturing enterprisefrom warehouses and production to field and,ultimately,delivery to the cus-tomer. Imagine gaining the ability to monitor, share,analyze, respond and act upon information and knowledge in real-time. This scenario describes just one aspect of how innovative mobile technology is transform-ing manufacturing.Its clear that mobile technology adoption is increas-ing in both the business and personal sectors. Now more than ever, manufacturers have an opportunity to take advantage of these technologies to advance almost every aspect of their businesses, says Joe Barkai, practice di-rector for IDC Manufacturing Insights Product Lifecycle Strategies research service.The rise of mobile technology has forever changed the rules of business and customer engagement across virtually every manufacturing segment, accelerating the speed of business operations while also fueling the de-mand for instant, appropriate communications based on accurate information. Companies around the globe are rethinking their business processes to improve respon-siveness and productivity.In manufacturing, the need to innovate amidst the backdrop of this larger technological revolution is con-sidered by top industry leaders to be an imperative. This premise differs from thinking in years past, when innova-tion was viewed as a luxury that required the resources of time, people and budget. Today, the reality is that in-novation is necessary for an organizations survival.To that end, recent IDC Manufacturing Insights re-search shows that 75% of manufacturers currently use or are planning to implement mobile technologies to improve virtually every aspect of their businessfrom inventory and distribution management to supply chain automation, employee training, customer interaction and access to enterprise applications. But mobile technology isnt merely another new tool to advance automation. Its a game-changer in differentiation among the competition.Asmanufacturersgrapplewithsimultaneousde-mands and challenges, the same technologies that have disrupted business as usual in other industries are now transforming the business of manufacturing. A host of ob-jectives are already being achieved by forward-thinking companies. The top goal? Competitive advantage.Unprecedented Benefitsto ManufacturingStandardizing production processes and plant-floor data collection and retrieval are the next evolution for mo-bility with manufacturers, says June Ruby, manufacturing principal at Motorola Solutions Industry Solutions Group. Connecting customer demand from field sales teams in real time to inventory ordering systems and produc-tion scheduling will give manufacturers more forecasting power than ever before. And with product quality top of mind, manufacturers are looking for new ways to monitor not only production processes to ensure quality specifica-tions, but also to hold material suppliers accountable. The ability to integrate voice, video, and data pro-vides a pathway for a more unified approach to commu-nications with customers and throughout the business enterprise across functions, expertise levels and lan-guages. When these technologies are brought together in the manufacturing environment, their impact is powerful and immediate, according to industry experts like Barkai and Ruby. Mobile technology can help manufacturers manage simultaneous demands and address new challenges, ac-cording to new insights from IDC Manufacturing research Continued on next page..., , , WHETHER YOU PACKAGE, PRINT, CUT, BEND, MIX, MOVE, GROW, HANDLE, B Y P A M E L A O L D H A MNED1211_IW.indd 29 12/6/11 12:53:4
