 PROBLEM II & ITS SOLUTION

INTRODUCTION:

AGROFAB MACHINERIES PVT. LTD. is a reputed industry in

MIDC area at Higna Road Nagpur. The main outputs of the
industry are machined parts for tractors of Mahindra & Mahindra
tractors located at Nagpur. Over the years company has
successfully provided the required tractor assembly parts to the
company and is continuing their good streak in manufacturing
industry. The company has been able to get accreditation of ISO
9001:2000. The various products under its manufacturing hood
are:
a) C. V. Cylinder Head
b) Differential Gear Housing
c) Distributor Housing
d) Valve Body

The company has very high quality CNC machines from AMS
synchronized with Distributed Control System from FANUC. With
this quality of machines hardly there are any mistakes that could
happen during manufacturing. Though we have tried to take an

effort and found out some problems that could be solved by

certain easy measures, thus helping factory to save time and
labour.

Let us know more about industry and work carried under it.

PROCESSES UNDERTAKEN:

 Inspection of raw material: Here temporary inspection of

raw material is done. Just by finding any visual defects.
Facing: It is operation of moving the cutting tool at right
angles to the axis of rotation of the rotating workpiece.

OPN 65 M/C

Spot Facing: It is a machining operation where material is

removed from a surface to make it flat and smooth, usually
for a fastener or bearing.
Drilling: It is used to remove material from the inside of a
workpiece.

OPN 50/67 BLIND BORE

Reaming: It is used to create an accurate sized hole.

Threading: It is the process of creating a screw thread.

NOTE: INSPECTION IS DONE AT ALL STAGES.

MACHINES USED:
Different kinds of machines from conventional drilling to
CNCs both kind of machines can be found in this plant.

Some of those machine are stated and their purpose is

explained below:

CNC LATHE:
The machine is controlled electronically via a computer
menu style interface; the program may be modified and
displayed at the machine, along with a simulated view of the
process. The setter/operator needs a high level of skill to perform
the process, however the knowledge base is broader compared
to the older production machines where intimate knowledge of
each machine was considered essential. These machines are
often set and operated by the same person, where the operator
will supervise a small number of machines.

CNC MILLING:
Most CNC milling machines are computer controlled vertical
mills with the ability to move the spindle vertically along the Zaxis.CNC machines can exist in virtually any of the forms of
manual machinery, like horizontal mills. The most advanced CNC
milling-machines, the multiaxis machine, add two more axes in
addition to the three normal axes (XYZ). Horizontal milling
machines also have a C or Q axis, allowing the horizontally
mounted workpiece to be rotated, essentially allowing
asymmetric and eccentric turning. The fifth axis (B axis) controls
the tilt of the tool itself. When all of these axes are used in
conjunction with each other, extremely complicated geometries,
even organic geometries such as a human head can be made
with relative ease with these machines. But the skill to program
such geometries is beyond that of most operators. Therefore, 5axis milling machines are practically always programmed with
CAM.

Milling Machine:
A milling machine is a machine tool used to machine solid
materials. Milling machines are often classed in two basic forms,
horizontal and vertical, which refer to the orientation of the main
spindle. Both types range in size from small, bench-mounted
devices to room-sized machines. Unlike a drill press, which holds
the workpiece stationary as the drill moves axially to penetrate
the material, milling machines also move the workpiece radially
against the rotating milling cutter, which cuts on its sides as well
as its tip.Workpiece and cutter movement are precisely controlled
to less than 0.001 in (0.025 mm), usually by means of precision
ground slides and leadscrews or analogous technology.

INSPECTION & SAMPLING:

An inspection is, most generally, an organized examination
or formal evaluation exercise. It involves the measurements,
tests, and gauges applied to certain characteristics in regard to
an object or activity. The results are usually compared to
specified requirements and standards for determining whether
the item or activity is in line with these targets. Inspections are
usually non-destructive.
In this industry various types of gauges to maintain
accuracy and precision at various stages of machining are
performed. Each stage involves checking of dimensional
accuracy. The commonly used gauges at plant are:
a) Go-Nogo gauge
b) Calipers ( inside caliper, vernier caliper )
c) Micrometer screw gauge
d) Pneumatic gauge

i) INSPECTION USING PNEUMATIC GAUGE

ii) GO-NOGO GAUGES

PACKAGING & TRANSPORTATION:

The final product after going through inspection & sampling
is oiled for protection against corrosion. And then product is
finally packed inside a plastic bag. Thus the final product is ready
to be transported to other industry.

CASE STUDY:
The case study was carried out at AGROFAB MACHINERIES
PVT. LTD., MIDC, Hingna Road, Nagpur.
The raw material was provided by Mahindra & Mahindra
procured from casting unit at Chennai.
Various machining processes were carried out to make
castings fit to use.
The plant runs 24 hours a day. The production work is
carried out in 4 shifts and each shift consists of 6 hours.
The production rate of the industry is 800 parts per day.

PROBLEMS:
PROBLEM 1:

Blind boring

A through bore was sunk across the thickness of the part.

SOLUTION:
The bore was required only upto a certain depth.That process
was unnecessary and was consuming more time, power and
labour.
This could be overcome by just attaching a stopper with drill bit
at the optimum required length. This will reduce time, save
labour & avoid unnecessary wearing of tool.

PROBLEM 2:

Chip disposal

SOLUTION:
Centralized chip disposal system can be suggested over this
problem. We suggest that the disposal of chips can be carried out
by using a conveyor disposal system. This system will run
periodically to carry chips to disposal area.
