HEAVY MACHINE TOOL PLANT (HMTP)

This plant was established in collaboration with SKODA of erstwhile, CSSR and equipped with facilities for manufacturing heavy machines tools, both conventional and CNC version. It has also design and R&D wing with high qualified and experienced engineers. The plant isequipped with CNC hardening equipments. Subsequently the plant has also acquired technical know-how for following agencies. a) b) c) d) M/S HERCULUS of Germany for rail grinding machines M/S HEGENSCHEIDT of Germany for railway lathes M/S O-M of Japan for vertical bores M/S BOEHRINGER of Germany for plane milling machine

The plant design and manufactures equipment for the following : 1. Special purpose railway machine tools 2. CNC and Conventional machine tools in the medium and heavy range for the core sectors and defiance like vertical turning and boring machine, planner, milling, etc.. Deep Hole Boring Machine :-Main Features High rigidity Simple design Easy to maintain Suitable for BTA tooling Precision ground, Y-guide ways for sustained accuracy Efficient coolant system

Major Specification Max solid drilling dia. Max counter boring dia. Max boring depth Sing over bed Height of centre from guide ways Width of bed Max/Min length of work piece H/S Spindle speeds(4 ranges) Weight of machine Power of main drive motor 110mm 350mm 6000mm 1400mm 680mm 750mm 60000/30000mm 1-710 rpm 35000 kg 100 KW
