RESERVATION FORM -Key Speakers and Technical Lectures All of our Speakers have a wealth of experience to offer. Each Lecture will last up to 45 minutes including questions Lectures are presented by: 10:45 to 11:30 Group 1 Lectures 11:45 to 12:30 Group 2 Lectures 14:00 to 14:45 Group 3 Lectures Sam Keating (Hydac Technology) Chris Brogli (Ross Controls) Brandon Coursey (Sun Hydraulics) Jack Hints (Balluff) Name Company E-Mail Contact No HYDRAULIC FLUID RELATED NFPC Room F113 Tech 2 (Ground Floor) Speaker: Sam Keating Laboratory Manager- Hydac Technology UK Title- Correlation between Membrane Patch Colorimetry (MPC) test results and the differences observed between Particle Count data at 20 degrees and 80 degrees C in mineral oils. Synopsis- New oil samples have a low MPC and show negligible differences between particle counts between 20 and 80 degrees, however used samples begin to display differences between particle counts at the two temperatures. This indicates that deposits dissolve back into the oil at high temperatures and high MPC is not reflected in particle counts indicating that filter membrane colour is not due to varnish but other contaminants. SAFETY and HAZARDS RELATED NFPC Room F119 Tech 2 (Ground Floor) Speaker: Chris Brogli - Global Vice President of Safety Business Development-ROSS Controls Title : Fluid Power Assessment Requirement and Best Practices (Presentation 1 and 2) Synopsis: Presentation 1, will cover the requirements for fluid power safety and will look how hazards should be assessed. This will include a look at some best practices from across the Industry with specific examples of tools that are being used during assessments. Presentation 2, will provide an insight into the various methods for controlling hazardous energy for normal production maintenance, service and repair. The purpose is to understand the necessary interactions to address such hazards. SENSOR TECHNOLOGY and AUTOMATION RELATED NFPC Room F214 Tech 3 (First Floor) Speaker: Jack Hints Industry Manager for North Europe -BALLUFF Title Innovations in Hydraulic Position Sensing and Monitoring Synopsis: This presentation will highlight the latest technologies for the control, monitoring and feedback of automated mobile and industrial hydraulic applications. You will learn about new sensor technologies, offering simplified installation and enhanced diagnostics, as well as the latest in connectivity solutions all of which are enablers for your I 4.0. environment on both new and existing plant and equipment SMART TECHNOLOGY RELATED NFPC Room F212 Tech 3 (First Floor) Speaker: Brandon Coursey- Product Support Manager -SUN HYDRAULICS Title- The Millennial Machine Interface Synopsis: Within today s smart technology landscape, modern wireless technology is being increasingly deployed within the mobile and industrial sectors, with many resultant conveniences including time and cost related improvements. We will discuss during this session how millennials are shaping and impacting the future of our industry whilst explaining how Sun Hydraulics is pushing the envelope.
