Bosch Canada: Sharing Knowledge - Strengthening the Industry
Seminar Series 2009
Spend a day with an expert. Sign up for one of our free
one-day educational seminars on some of todays most
important issues in manufacturing. In our continued
committment as an industry leader, our technical experts
will be sharing their experience and knowledge about various
topics that can help give you a competitive edge.
All seminars will be held at the Bosch facility in
Burlington, Ontario, except where otherwise noted.
 Safe
Motion Seminar
Safe Motion, Safety on Board: Drives with Integrated Safety
Functions
Whether machine tools, packaging, printing or paper
processing machines, assembly, handling or robotic
applications – protection of personnel against uncontrolled
machine movements has absolute priority. Safe Motion: the
drive based safety solution from Rexroth means much more
than just the “safe stop” of machinery. Having safety
related control of speed and position reduces the risk of
danger and increases the control of hazards. Not only is the
machine safer for its operators and maintainers, downtime
will be reduced and productivity will go up!
Agenda
-Safe Drive Lock
-Safe Standstill
-Safe Operational Stop
-Safety Related Reduced Velocity
-Safety Related Maximum Velocity
-Safety Related Limited Increment
-Safety Related Absolute Position
-Safe Direction of Movement
-Safety Related Monitored Stopping
-Safe Control of Protective Door

 Hydraulic
Power Press Safety
Today's ongoing demand to get things done fast should not
exclude that things should also be done safely. Finding out
how to do this legally and ethically can be very tasking
however, given the array of acts, regulations, standards,
specifications, products, and professionals which define
acceptability. Join us at this seminar as we demystify the
application of hydraulic power press safety.
Agenda
-Hydraulic systems and special components for press
applications
-The CSA Z142-02 Power Press Safety Standard and what it
means to hydraulic presses
-System considerations for press safety circuits
-Specific components developed to fulfill these safety
requirements
-Pre-Start Health & Safety Review considerations (PSR or
PSHSR)
-High level condition monitoring (Trended) and maintenance
solutions for press systems
-Energy saving drives for hydraulic presses (SYDFEE & VFD)

 Hydraulics
Unplugged
Maximizing efficiency and reliability of equipment is key to
maintaining a strong position in a competitive marketplace.
The seminar will assist customers to maintain their
industrial hydraulic systems - power units, manifold
assemblies, and valve stands - in optimum condition to
minimize downtime and maximize revenues.
Agenda
-Factors Affecting Hydraulic Reliability
-Predictive Maintenance Tool Box for Hydraulic Systems
-The Economics of an Effective Oil Analysis Program
-Condition Monitoring Case Studies
-Considerations for Improving Equipment Profitability
Dates:
March 26, 2009
 Principles
of Lean Manufacturing
Lean production is about more than simple manual assembly
cells. It’s about the elimination of waste: wasted time,
wasted motion, wasted production.
Learn about the importance of a data driven approach to line
design and the need to create an environment that supports
lean with the right equipment and infrastructure. Witness
the step by step creation of the perfect lean production
environment, culminating in an actual build demonstration
using an optimum lean line.
Agenda
-Lean Simulation
-Kaizen
-Workstation Design
-Material Delivery and Storage
-Factory Wide Implementation
-Automation in Lean
-Lean Resources
-Working with the Tools

 Tier
4 Emissions
Much has been published about the pending stricter EPA 2010
emissions standards which mandate lower emissions and
improved fuel economy. What has not been widely discussed
are the implications on engine performance, and equipment
design, especially the impact on hydraulic system design.
This seminar addresses the topic from a hydraulics
perspective, and discusses the approached available, and
technologies in development, that will harmonize with the
new engine designs, and ultimately lead to more efficient
machine performance.
Agenda
What is Tier 4, and what does it mean
Expected impact on engine performance
Implications for equipment manufacturers
Hydraulic system impact
Solutions and specific approaches
Future direction, optimizing system performance
Dates:
April 16, 2009
