At Growel, automation is at the heart of all our plating plants. Keeping this in mind our team, in technical collaboration with Utikal Automation Germany, is working with GalvCon V4.0, a PC-based software exclusively developed for atomization of surface finishing processes. The software is developed to be rich in features and provide ease in operation even when there is a need for replacement and modification.

This automation package is developed in such a way that the “intelligent part” of the software is written on the PC whereas the “driving program”, which rarely requires any changes, is written to the PLC. A highly reliable and powerful TCP/IP connection is established with Siemens S7 controller which requires no special drivers or third-party software for communication.

Initiating the plant operation is as easy as entering the article number and quantity to be loaded, the software initiates the cycle with minimum manual intervention.

Each article is pre-assigned with a unique process flow program (sequence of movement with time) and a power program (current density setting). Every article is capable of having a different process flow and current density program. The system has no limitation on the number of articles and their subsequent programs. The process program is designed to include parameters such as order of the baths, residence times, current setting in electrolytic baths, automatic dosing, temperature control in heating/cooling baths, and control of accessories along with visualization. The most powerful feature of this software is the capability of having flexible cycles. With this feature different articles having different process flow programs (different articles need to be processed in different baths with different timings) can be loaded onto the plant as per the user’s output demand.

The software is designed in such a way that the operator is allowed to load articles randomly as required and the intelligence of the software will decide the right sequence of the flight bar movement in the plant. The loaded flight bars may be temporarily stored at the buffer station or maybe directly taken for processing. The software will calculate the most efficient sequence of flight bar entry into the plant ensuring the most optimal usage of the baths and the transport wagons.

GalvCon V4.0 enjoys the following features and advantages:

• Multi-level Password protection for avoiding operator level errors.
• Multiple computers can be connected in the network for visualization but only one PC has the master process control.
• Remote system connectivity is possible for process and status visualization through the Internet.
• A special Loading terminal can be provided, to select the article while loading with visual identification.
• Vast flexibility for process control.
• Software can be quickly tailored to suit user needs.
• Process and current programs can easily adapt to change in plant structure.
• High stability and reliability.

In the early days of glass processing, water was used as a coolant and lubricant.  However, the use of diamond-tipped tools in glass processing with only water as a coolant led to the following problems in glass grinding operations:

• Marked decrease in process efficiency
• Runaway cost escalation on account of rapid wear and tear of diamond tools.
• Extensive corrosion of plant & machinery
• Undesirable pH increase of the grinding solution

Due to the brittle nature of glass and the stresses of glass grinding, the coolant used to aid the grinding process has to fulfill a number of requirements. As an example, fine glass particles are produced during the grinding process which instead of settling at the bottom, remains suspended in the water thereby reducing the effectiveness of the water to act as a coolant. In addition, these glass particles had an abrasive effect during the operation, creating unacceptable scratches on the toughened glass.

Rising to the needs of the industry, Growel has specifically designed a high-performance grinding fluid/coolant- GRODAL GLASS 339 which now eliminates these problems.

GRODAL GLASS 339 is a synthetic coolant concentrate based on ester additives that are designed to cool and lubricate extreme machining operations on flat toughened glass such as edge grinding, drilling, milling, etc. Exceptional Bio-Stability permits operation with hard water up to 450 ppm. It keeps the tools clean and allows the glass powder to settle easily.

GRODAL GLASS 339 – APPLICATION GUIDELINES

Stir with water in the desired (usually 0.2% to 0.5%) ratio to a homogeneous solution.

For a higher lubricity ratio, it can be increased to 1 – 1.5%.

Special additives in the Grodal Glass 339 keeps the surfaces of the diamond tool sharp. This in turn maintains grinding performance and substantially reduces glass processing time. The absence of these vital additives would necessitate the frequent replacement of the diamond tool, thereby leading to an exponential rise in operation cost.

One of Grodal Glass 339’s many real-world application successes includes the case study of one of our key customers engaged in the manufacture of mobile phone scratch guard glass. Their organization was using an imported cutting fluid @ 2.5% concentration level resulting in their use of 140-150 liters of fluid daily. Upon switching to Grodal Glass 339 at 1.5% their consumption reduced to 80-90 liters daily. Our customers also reported a marked reduction in the amount of fuming they were experiencing during cutting operations. Advantages ranged from the locally available and as-needed supply of cutting fluid to the measurably superior performance of the Grodal Glass 339. 

Did you know that choosing the right lubricant supplier for your machine guarantees the operational success of your company? Well, the majority are unaware of this fact. Keep in mind that if you are one of them, choosing the right supplier will give you the best results. However, there are so many lubricant sources that it is difficult to find the best source. The introduction of new suppliers was a major cause of failure. Therefore, selecting the right supplier is not everyone’s tea.

Lubricant oils are highly used substances that help to reduce friction between solid surfaces.  Different types of lubricants are largely used across various industries as they improve the performance of the machines and make the movement of the machines efficient. You can use the lubricant oils to elongate the life of your machinery and reduce the maintenance cost as the lubricants reduce the wear and tear occurring in machines.
