INTRODUCTION

Lakshmi Precision Screws Ltd. (Hereinafter referred as The Company) is a high

tensile manufacturing unit which was established in the year 1972. The Company
is a pioneer in providing fastening technology globally having Joint Ventures,
License Agreements, and Alliances with different fastening companies globally. It
is also catering the needs of various sectors such as Wind Energy, Oil & Gas,
Locomotives, Automobiles, Agriculture Equipments (Tractors), Machine Building
and different Industrial and its sub-con items. The endeavor of the Company is to
provide high level customer satisfaction.
The Company is located in Rohtak (Haryana) which has a close proximity being
just sixty Kms. from the National Capital, New Delhi and falls in the northern
region of India. With sheer hard work and sincerity The Company had set up
another plant in the year 1993 keeping in view the growing global demand. In the
recent past the company had set operational two more units, one in Rohtak and
another in Industrial Modal Town, Manesar where leading manufacturers such as
Hero Honda, Honda Motors Scooters India, Maruti Suzuki etc. are also established.
The said manufacturers are also the customers of the Company.

However, collectively all the four units of this Company are spread over an area of
1, 00,000 square meters and have a total production capacity of 25,000 metric tons
(MT) per annum. The Company expects that its production capacity will be rising
10% every year. The companies manufacturing units and warehouses were built
keeping in view the close proximity of its Ancillaries, Raw Material providers and
National Highways.

The Company looks upon while upholding the needs of its clients for providing
most favorable blend of quality and cost effectiveness. The core competency of
this Group lies in its ability to resource quality material and manufacture complete
custom design solution. The Global vision and providing fastener solutions for
more than three decades has now made The Company one of the Global Leaders
for manufacturing high tensile precision fasteners and cold forged components.
The Company is one of the largest exporters of fasteners in India. Whereas 35% of
the total sales is contributed from the products exported to a range of countries
such as The United States of America (USA), Australia, Canada, Denmark, Dubai,
France, Germany, Hong-Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South
Africa, Switzerland, Sweden etc. The Company is a partner of the Global Fastener
Alliance (GFA).
The Company is constantly researching to enhance its quality of the products
keeping in mind the increasing expectations of the customers and the Companys
brand. The Company is delighted and thankful to all its customers for regular
support and its guidance.

PRODUCTS
A wide range of standard cold forged high tensile fasteners over 7,000
varieties covering the diameter range of M1.3 to M30 and the length
range of 6mm to 300 mm.
Standard products cover most of international standards ISO, ANSI
/ASME, BS, JIS, DIN etc and engineered as per respective standards.
These standard product covers a very wide range of industries viz
Automobile sectors, standard / special m/c building sectors, textile

INTRODUCTON OF MACHINES :
L.P.S is manufacturing nuts and bolts and other products using different
types of machines . Thats why it is important to know the introduction
of machines before knowing manufacturing process.

The following machines are used in L.P.S plant ,Rohtak to manufacture

nuts and bolts and other products.

MACHINES IM LPS PLANT:

1) HEADER MACHINE
2) TRIMMING MACHINE
3) BOLT MAKER
4) FLAT ROLLING
5) ROUND ROLLING

Procees of forge of bolt

LPS has the capability to develop and forge highly special parts,
Bolts/Screws/Studs etc. along with the vast range of standard
fasteners.

Hot Forging

Cold Forging

Dia. Range : M20 M48

Length : 60 mm 450 mm

Dia. Range : M1.6 M27

Length : 6 mm 300 mm

In Cold forging, the grain structure will be uniform and will take the
shape of the contour of the tools used while upsetting the raw material
to the desired head shape. So this will give higher strength of the
forged part compare to the machine part and the surface finish thus
obtained a A grade product. Parts like self tapping screws, Machine
screws having Phillips and pozy drive can only be cold forging.
Hot Forging, is carried out diameter greater than 20 mm or for smaller
diameter where the length of the screws is beyond the capacity of the
cold forging and also where the volume is smaller quality can be hot
forged. Hot Forging also encompasses higher manufacturing
tolerances which have more possibility for additional head styles.

Wire drawing:
All manufacturing processes are carried
out in-house with latest technology and
most suitable machines with best in class
Quality Management System.
Wire Rod Processing:- The process
of Wire Rod Processing comes after
detailed & thorough inspection of
100% raw material received for
chemical compositions and
forgeability. We have wellestablished NABL certified lab to
verify the chemical composition and
do have thorough verification in
respect to inclusion rating and
grains flow.

Wire Drawing :- Wire Drawing is

carried out to get the required wire
size for cold forging the parts
depending upon the size of fasteners
to be manufactured. Generally, the
percent reduction in area is
maintained between 7% to 15% so
that there is not much resistance for
deformation during cold forging
wherever high percentage required
during wire drawing.

Annealing Process:a. Low Temperature (Stress Relieving) Annealing(500 C to 650

C) : It is carried out at 500 C to 650 C for stress relieving the
product before next operation. Furnaces used are PIT furnaces and
Continuous Tempering Line.

b. Vacuum Annealing(800 C) : The purpose to carry out this operation

is to achieve extra low hardness in vacuum to have decarburization
free product working range up to 800 C.

c. Spherodized Annealing(700 C) : This type of annealing is done to

change the lamellar pearlitic structure to Spheroidised structure in
order to achieve suitability for Cold forging. Company has a facility
300 Tonnes per month for spherodized annealing capacity in first
phase, planning of 1000 Tonnes per month in future.

SECONDARY OPERATIONS:
At LPS, Secondary Operation is carried out after the initial first
operation Cold and Hot Forged. The operation that is carried out
within its premises for the competition of the certain tasks may
include some of the operations as mentioned below:-
