Dear Reader,

In this issue of our ADZ NAGANO Newsletter, we would like to share with you again the latest news from and about our company.

You will find information about newly developed products, in which we adopted suggestions and wishes of our partners and clients and turned them into innova-tive products.

The projects in the field of Aviation are taking off, which means for the company to have good overall business and superb potential for growth from 2017 and in the years thereafter.

For the second time, we received an award from the company Knorr-Bremse AG for being regarded an outstanding supplier in the Railway segment. We and our most im-portant supplier in this project, NAGANO KEIKI, are justifiably proud of that.

Customer satisfaction has been – and con-tinues to be – our main concern. We un-derstand the fact that we achieved almost 100% in delivery reliability all through 2016 as an accomplishment of the solid efforts made by all our company’s depart-ments.

I Precision Pressure Transducer SHP Enhanced Thanks to modifying the electronics and software, ADZ NAGANO is going to offer the Precision Pressure Transducer SHP with enhanced performance regarding precis-ion (0.1%) and signal stability. Presuma-ble from autumn, the upgraded model of an output signal range from 4 to 20 mA will be rolled out. Further signals will be possible on request. The improved model will be able to cover temperatures of up to +125°C. Moreover, higher resolution is now possible in the internal signal pro-cessing (DAC). The SHP continues to be applied in the areas of laboratory and precision measuring technology, in the chemical and food industry as well as in surveillance and monitoring. II HART: Certification and Limited Product Release Works on the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Protocol – HART, for short – have advanced to an extent that certifi-cation tests are envisaged with the HART Foundation from the second quarter of

2017. The Limited Product Release is ex- pected for the end of the third, early fourth quarter. The basic tests of the pro-totypes have been successful, which ma-kes us look forward to further testing and certification with confidence.

III Hydrogen-compatible Transmitters The hydrogen-compatible transmitters are currently subjected to product tes-ting in collaboration with TÜV Süd with the aim to obtain approval (EC79/2009 – European type-approval of hydrogen-powered motor vehicles) and certifi-cation of the new material variant. The scope of testing includes testing for en-vironmental compatibility, material du-rability, long-term behaviour and tight-ness. The investigations will take about 16 to 20 weeks, which allows to expect certification to be issued in the summer of 2017.

IV CSA Certification ADZ NAGANO is working on obtaining the approval for its transmitters in the North-American territory (the US and Canada). In a first step, approval is ap-plied for the intrinsically safe transmit-ters of the SMX2 and PSX2 series, in clas-sifications

•Class1,Division1,GroupsA,B,Cand D T4 and Class 1, Zone 0, AEx ia IIC T4 Ga for the US•Class1,Division1,GroupsA,B,Cand D T4 / Ex ia IIC T4 Ga for Canada

The characteristics of the series are not different to the ATEX or IEC-Ex approval.Then, approvals for the SMXD and TSXD series (pressure-proof encapsulation) and for transmitters SMX2 and PSX2 for Zone 2 are envisaged. The entire certifi-cation process is scheduled to be com-pleted within this year. ■

In the ongoing season, ADZ NAGANO continues to support se-veral teams in the Formula Student. Within the scope of inter-disciplinary projects, the following Formula Student teams were equipped with ADZ NAGANO pressure transmitters in 2016:

ELBFLOLACE e.V. – Technische Universität Dresden

UMD Racing e.V. – Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg

BALTIC RACING TEAM – Fachhochschule Stralsund

FaSTTUBe – Technische Universität Berlin

HAWKS Racing e.V. – Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg

Elektronic Racetech Racing Team e.V. – TU Bergakademie Freiberg

RUB MOTORSPORT e.V. – Ruhr-Universität Bochum

Formula Student Team Weingarten – Hochschule Ravensburg- Weingarten

KTH Formula Student – Königlich Technische Hochschule Stockholm

Three to ten sensors are in operation per vehicle, checking bra-king pressure or air suction pressure, for example, or the oil pressure in the gearbox. ADZ NAGANO is going to make these sensors, which are mostly manufactured individually for the most diverse applications, available to some teams during the coming year as sponsoring in kind. Every year in summer, For-mula Student teams meet at the Hockenheimring racing circuit to present their vehicles in a Formule-1 atmosphere and test them under racing conditions. ■

Newsletter 1 / 2017Newsletter 1 / 2017

On very long railway trains, the multiple locomotives positioned at the beginning and in the middle and probably at the end of a train, usually communicate via radio. Commands for braking or accelerating, for instance, are transmitted in that way. In difficult terrain, however, as in the mountains or in tunnels, such commu-nication is interrupted or not sufficiently reliable. This may result in severe problems. A back-end train segment, for example, that is not braked or whose speed in a bend is too high, involves a risk of accident that must not be underestimated.

Remedial help can be provided by the SMD Differential Pressure Sensor, which measures the flowrate in the braking system. The values will determine whether a signal for braking or for relea-sing the brakes is required. The locomotive in middle position or at the end of the train, which then has no radio link, receives this information and initiates braking or loosening the brakes for the respective train segment.

The sensors are additionally used to make sure prior to departure from a station that the brake system is completely tight and has no leak. The proof that such a test is performed before leaving a station and the measured data recorded is statutorily required in Canada and the US, for example.

The sensor must withstand typical rail requirements with a view to prevailing temperatures, vibrations and electromagnetic com-patibility (EMC). This in turn requires the sensors neither to be interfered by mobile phone signals or other radio sources nor to influence them.

The sensor design is custom-made, individually fitting the res-pective requirements regarding the available space, necessary connecting configurations or electrical contacts. ■

Thanks to applying titanium, ADZ NAGANO offers, with imme-diate effect, new pressure sensors. This material offers a wide range of benefits. The stable oxide layer allows for high cor-rosion resistance. Moreover, titanium is of enormous strength at relatively low density. Therefore, the sensors may be in long-term use in pressure ranges from 3 to 5,000 bar and are sea-water-resistant at the same time. Application in prevailing utility temperatures from -200°C to +200°C is possible thanks

to its superb thermal properties and durability. Furthermore, designs of smallest possible sizes can be manufactured.

The properties if titanium permit its use in a wide range of applications, for example in combus-tion chambers, in generator measuring, in highly dynamic hydraulic system diag-nostics and in monitoring. ■

ADZ NAGANO has been awarded by Knorr-Bremse with the certificate of a “Preferred Supplier”. Already back in 2014, ADZ NAGANO had been named “Most Improved Supplier”. By doing so, the worldwide leading manufacturer of brake systems and supplier of further sub-systems for rail and utility vehicles, headquartered in Munich, praises the very good performance regarding timeliness, quantities delivered, prices and coopera-tion in the event of emerging field problems.

Also, ADZ NAGANO’s competent response to new enquiries, proactive communication and continual product optimisa-tion were honoured by that. As a technological pacemaker, Knorr-Bremse has been driving, to a substantial extent, the development, production, distribution and service of state-of-the-art brake systems for more than 110 years. The entire team is proud of the appreciation by this important partner. ■
