Accomplishments

  • Boosted the productivity in shaping by double stacking the ring gear in shaping operation; reduced the cycle time from 15 minutes to 10 minutes & increased production from 10000nos/month to 140000nos/month
  • Enhanced productivity by installation of the power clamping chuck in ring gear shaping, eliminated manual clamping & unclamping & increased the productivity by 10% in 15 no’s of machine 5300/month ring gear increase
  • Augmented production in gear grinding by using higher cutting speed wheel from 43m/sec to 63m/sec.3000nos/month qty increase from gear grinding.
  • Effectively reduced generation of grinding sludge from 2.86t to 1.5t by implementing dry sludge separator, thereby achieving cost savings worth 8.64lakh/yearly
  • Proficiently reduced the tooling cost by developing new own design, thereby achieving yearly saving worth 16.2lakh/yearly
  • Secured quality parameter in grinding/gear shaping process – single chuck cutting introduced on various components.
  • Eliminated Gear deburring by implementing deburring mechanism during Gear cutting operation.
  • Minimized quality problems in assemblies by implementing single piece flow
  • Effectively machine reconditioning(like 15T Broaching/CNC Grinding/Hobbing/shaping/External grinding).
