 3) OBJECTIVE

3.1) ACADEMIC OBJECTIVE:

The main motive of joining this company was to get vocational training and clear
understanding about application of various core subjects of mechanical sector and practical
implementation of it.

3.2) PROJECT OBJECTIVE:

• To update the WORK INSTRUCTIONS as per desired process of KV Block line
work station.

This was accomplished by studying existing process with a revisit to existing work
instructions. The updated Work Instructions expected was to be with tool list along with
speed /feed, change schedules, safety instruction, process instructions.

• To be precise, the objective was to make Work Instructions which would be more
specific so that any person of the company or outsiders could easily access the process
and various details.

3.3) ACADEMIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

• Though the main objective was updating Work instruction, we came across many
techno-commercial facts which added to our knowledge. We could easily relate our
theoretical knowledge with the industrial experience.
• We modified Work Instructions of

 HOMMA 1& 2
 DMG
 HOMMA 3
 FINISH CRANKBORE SPM
 MAZAK 1
 MAZAK 2
 FINAL WASH
 HOMMA 4&5

We observed different types of

• CNC machines, measuring instruments, various mechanisms used in transfer of

block like tilting, upender & chain conveyor and even E.O.T cranes (ergonomical
aspect).
• IC engine: - Cooling system, Lubrication and other working of engine through KV
block.
• Assembly of KV Block:- Study of different parts and engine operations.
• Machining:- different tools like inserts, drills, taps, reamers, accessories (holders ,
collets , cartridge )etc and even instruments like different gauges and vernier used for
inspection which added to our practical knowledge.
• Revised programming used for operating CNC machines and also programs of
Siemens & Mazatrol. We studied efficiently the separation of oil, coolant and burr
and there maintenance so as to reduce pollution. We studied how quality is
maintained and its process control charts.
• Accuracy: - Its importance and how small error any time may cause huge losses.

We learned the management of production of KV cylinder block. Apart from this

we acquired the application of machine design which included ergonomics and
aesthetics.

 5 ) GENERAL WORK INSTRUCTIONS

5.1) SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The key for efficient employee productivity is to keep them motivated. Employees
can be satisfied if they feel safe and happy at their workplace and if they are been
appreciated.
It is only when the employees feel safe at work that they can work at their fullest
capacity and explores the best of their potentials at work. It involves the formation and
implementation of safety programs.

• Workplace safety involves training programs that are meant to teach the
employees to handle risks. They need to be trained for impending dangers, if
any; to face risks and deal with accidents at work.

Safety instructions and PPE are strictly followed in CUMMINS which includes:
1. Safety goggles
2. Ear plugs
3. Safety shoes
4. Hand gloves
5. Helmet wherever necessary
The above safety components are compulsory for an employee & a machine operator on
shop floor.

5.2) ERGONOMICS
Ergonomics in the workplace is of utmost importance from the point of view of
employee’s comfort and their safety. Ergonomics can help reduce costs by improving safety.
Engineering psychology is an interdisciplinary part of ergonomics and studies the
relationships of people to machines, with the intent of improving such relationships. This
may involve redesigning equipment, changing the way people use machines, or changing the
location in which the work takes place.
Installation of machines at desired height, design of fixture to reduce fatigue etc are
some few changes made at workplace considering ergonomics.
Ergonomics is about making things more efficient. One of the best benefits of
ergonomics is saving time as well as cost.
 5.3) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

General instructions are the key instructions to be followed by the operator of a

machine. These summarize all the details about actions, precautions and observations to be
followed on machine.
There are instructions regarding
• Steps to be taken for loading/unloading of the block.
• Use of tackle for handling of block
• Use of EOT for shifting of block
• Safe distance to be maintained from machine while handling block.
• Information about coolant used.
At first we observed the movements of the operator of machine .After studying his
movements we noted down some points and then checked for those points in previous work
instructions and made changes accordingly.

5.4) SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

While installing a new part it needs to follow some definite steps. These steps are
nothing but the setup instructions of the part.
They include how the part is installed, where it is installed, whether it is correctly
installed or not, how it is calibrated etc.
Setup instructions on a machine generally include instructions for establishing a
system & mounting a fixture on table palette. For this firstly its X, Y &Z coordinates are
checked with plunger dial. It is fixed in dowel pins provided to palette. After mounting the
fixture its alignment and orientation is checked by probe.

5.5) WORK INSTRUCTION

Standard work instructions are used to maintain and improve productivity, quality and
safety. These are the standards accepted by the company for its production. They provide a
documented process sequence to perform work with the most efficient method in the
designated (cycle) time.
Kaizen initiatives highlights opportunities to make improvements in working
procedures to reduce non value adding work content.
Work instruction is guide line to operator which suggests how to do the work
efficiently and effectively. Work instruction includes
• Program no. for different operations
• Tackle to be used
 • Procedure of mounting block on fixture
• Information of precaution taken during loading & unloading block.
• Procedure to restart the block operation
• Methods of tool setting.

Standard work instructions are updated timely to reflect the changes.

5.6) SETUP VERIFICATION

If we shift the operations of one block on a machine then the setup needs to be
verified before machining. This is done by taking the reading from all sides of the block
using a probe. If the readings are in given limits (with accepted tolerance) as decided then
further machining starts.
After the machining is done, we first check the block. If operation stops in middle by
any problem then block should be checked first & then further machining should be done.
If any problem arises then line manager should be informed.

5.7) FIXTURE DETAILS

A fixture is a work holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry. The
main purpose of a fixture is to locate and in some cases hold a work piece during either a
machining operation or some other industrial process.
Every machine has a different fixture, as per their need. It is designed considering the
parameters of the block. It contains butting pads for supporting the block, dowel pins for
locating the correct position of block, clamps for fixing, locating pins etc for clamping the
block.
They can be operated manually or hydraulically. Hydraulic fixtures are easy to
operate and reduce efforts. It has AIR SENSING UNIT which detects the gap (if any)
between butting pads and block. It helps in checking whether the block is loaded correctly or
has some misalignment.
Manual fixtures are handled with ratchet (socket wrench).

5.8) PROCESS DETAILS

Process details convey to the reader how a change takes place through a series of
stages. The process description examines an event time to time.
 It gives us overviews of all necessary parameters considered during machining like
speed, feed, tool used its different attachments& accessories, tool life frequency .A sample of
Process details is attached at the end of report.

5.9) REACTION PLAN

Reaction plan is included in work instruction because it is a guideline for any operator
to solve any problem.
If any drills, taps (or any operation) exceeds a given specific limit, then the block has
to be reworked. If any drill becomes oversize or any tool breaks in middle of machining then
line manager is to be informed.

5.10) REWORK

Rework is a process to salvage any defective block as per defined standard. It is

usually done when some process parameters do not meet specifications ass per part drawing.
Salvage is done to arrest manufacturing as well as vendor defect.
Oversized holes are reworked by fitting sleeve and then further machining it again.
Broken drill or tap is removed on SPARKONIX machine. Even Radial Machine is used for
rework.
If the reworked block still does not fit in salvage standard then it is scarped by
marking it red.

5.11) DEBURRING INSTRUCTION

It means removal of burr. It is done after machining of block. This operation is done
to remove sharp edges and foreign particles in a block. or removal of chips & coolant,
vacuum cleaner is used. Deburring is also carried out to avoid injuries to operators which can
be caused by sharp edge of machined block.
Deburring tools are:-
• Sand paper / Polish paper
• Pneumatic sander
• Speeders
• NOGA tool
• Oil stone
• Smooth half round file.
 6) QUALITY INSTRUCTION

6.1) QUALITY CONTROL CHART

Quality control chart indicates that the process is currently under control (i.e. is stable,
with variation only coming from sources common to the process). Data from the process can
be used to predict the future performance of the process.
If the chart indicates that the process being monitored is in control then operations are
carried out in limit. If the chart indicates that the process being monitored is not in control,
analysis of the chart can help determine sources of variation, which can then be eliminated to
bring the process back into control.
A control chart is a specific kind of run chart that allows significant change to be
differentiated from the natural variability of the process. The control chart can be seen as
part of an objective and disciplined approach that enables correct decisions regarding control
of the process, including whether or not to change process control parameters. Process
parameters should not be adjusted for a process that is in control, as this will result in
degraded process performance.
The control chart is one of the basic tools of quality control.
Below is the big Q showing progress of all the days

RED – Defect generated

GREEN- No defect
 SAFETY INSTRUCTION

6.2) LOCKOUT TAGOUT (LOTO)

Lockout / tag out (LOTO) refer to specific practices and procedures to safeguard
employees from injury due to the unexpected energizing or startup of machinery and
equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during operations, service, or maintenance
activities.
LOTO is also used as a method of equipment status control for conduct of operations
using different tags and locks to protect the equipment/program or to provide operating
information for devices and equipment.
Lock and tag is a safety procedure which is used in industry to ensure that dangerous
machines are properly shut off and not started up again prior to the completion of
maintenance or servicing work. There is LOTO solution on every machine for preventive
maintenance.
LOTO sheet contains the voltage and current ranges, energy conversions taking place
in the machine , precautions to taken i.e. covering the electric circuit area by a box in order
to prevent accidents.

6.3) MSDS (MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET)

MSDS (material safety data sheets) are a widely used system for cataloging
information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. MSDS information
may include instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular
material or product. These data sheets can be found where chemicals are being used.
Each MSDS must contain sixteen sections:

1. Product information: product identifier (scientific name, common name), name of

the manufacturer and supplier, addresses, emergency phone numbers
2. Composition / Information on Ingredients
3. Hazards Identification: data on flammability, reactivity, chronic hazards.
4. First-Aid Measures: description of recommended first-aid measures in case an

limit (ULF - LFL), dangerous combustion products, recommendations for preventing
explosions and fires .
6. Accidental Release Measures: measures to be taken in case of the accidental release
of the chemical substance or mixture into the environment: soil, rivers, waterways,
sources of potable and non potable water, see, etc.
7. Information on Recommended Handling and Storage Conditions: recommended
procedures for the handling, storage and usage of the chemical substance or mixture.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection: this section often contains the exposure
limits per country (classified by form of exposure or overexposure), as well as the
personal protection equipment (PPE) recommended or required by law (respiratory
protection, skin protection, eye protection, face mask, etc.)
9. Physical and Chemical Properties: product properties such as vapor pressure, vapor

MSDS, references to EU Directives en European or international (ISO) standards,
version management of the MSDS, a disclaimer.
 7) INSTRUMENTS OBSERVED

7.1) GAUGES
While doing inspection we can across different types of gauges used to inspect the
block like Plain plug gauge, thread plug gauge, ring gauge, air pressure gauge, dial bore
gauge, snap gauge & measuring instruments like vernier, micrometer (ball), depth vernier.

A ring gauge is a cylindrical ring of steel whose inside diameter is finished to gauge
tolerance and is used for checking the external diameter of a cylindrical object. Ring gauges
are used for comparative gauging as well as for checking, calibrating or setting of gauges or
other standards. Individual ring gauges or ring gauge sets are made to variety of tolerance
grades in metric and English dimensions for master, setting, or working applications. There
are three main types of ring gauges: go, no go, and master or setting ring gauges.

GO-NO GO GUAGE
A Go-No Go gauge refers to an inspection tool used to check a work piece against its
allowed tolerance the gauge has two tests; the check involves the work piece having to pass
one test (Go) and fail the other (No Go).

• It is an integral part of the quality process that is used in the manufacturing industry to
ensure interchangeability of parts between processes, or even between different
manufacturers.
• A Go- No Go gauge is a measuring tool that does not return a size in the conventional
sense, but instead returns a state. The state is either acceptable (the part is within
tolerance and may be used) or it is unacceptable (and must be rejected).
• They are well suited for use in the production area of the factory as they require little
skill or interpretation to use effectively and have few, if any, moving parts to be
damaged in the often hostile production environment.
In the right hand image, the top gauge is a thread gauge that is screwed into the part to be
tested, the labeled GO end will enter into the part fully; the NOT GO end should not. The
lower image is a plain plug gauge used to check the size of a hole, the green end is the GO,
red is the NO GO. The tolerance of the part this gauge checks is 0.30mm where the lower
size of the hole is 12.60mm and the upper size is 12.90 mm, every size outside this range is
out of tolerance. This may be initially expressed on the parts drawing in a number of styles,
three possibilities may be:

• 12.75mm +/- 0.15mm

• 12.60mm +0.30 -0.00
• 12.90mm +0.00 -0.30

SNAP GUAGE
The usage of this gauge may be more intuitive than the plug type. A correctly
machined part will pass the first set of jaws and stop at the second end of test. In this manner
a part may be checked in one action, unlike the plug gauge that needs to be used twice and
flipped to access the second gauge.

DIAL BORE GAUGE

A dial or vernier bore gauge measures a bore directly. The gauge has three
symmetrical anvils that protrude from the gauge body that are connected to the dial or
micrometer mechanism. As the knob is rotated it moves the anvils in or out with respect to
the measurements. The knob usually has a slipping mechanism to take the feel out of the
device and increase reliability between measurements.
 DIGITAL VERNIER CALIPER & MICROMETER

7.2) DEBURRING INSTRUMENTS

While updating Work Instruction we came across various instruments used to
debur the block. From left

• Half round file

• Oil stone
• No go tool
• Pneumatic sander
• Speeder
 7.3) SCISSOR LIFT
A scissor lift is a raising/lowering device that is supported or stabilized by one or
more pantograph leg sections.

A scissor lift can usually move vertically upward & downward. The mechanism
used to achieve this is a series of criss-cross folding supports, forming an "X" pattern. The
upward motion is achieved by the application of pressure to the outside of the lowest set of
supports, elongating the crossing pattern, and propelling the work platform vertically. The
platform may also have an extending bridge to allow closer access to the work area
(because of the inherent limits of vertical only movement).

When extended, a scissor lift can reach anywhere from 21 to 62 feet (6.4 to 18.8
meters) in the air, depending on its size and purpose. It can be powered by hydraulics or an
electric motor, but a scissor lift's design prevents it from traveling at a constant speed. It
travels faster in the middle of its journey and slower with more extension.
 7.4) UPENDER
Upenders, sometimes called coil positioners, rotate loads though 90 degrees in
either direction. They are used in a variety of production and maintenance applications.
Upenders have a round cradle frame that is placed on four machined rollers. A gear
motor driving a single or dual chain sprocket provides the ability to rotate. Brake motor
and gear reducer drive a sprocket and roller chain giving a smooth rotating cycle.

• Wired to operate on your available

power supply.
• Complete electric controls; disconnect
switch, and push button station mounted
on unit.
• Limit switches automatically control
rotation

7.5) EOT CRANES

Crane which lift objects by a hoist which is fitted in a trolley and can move
horizontally on a rail or pair of rails fitted under a beam. An overhead travelling crane, also
known as an overhead crane or as a suspended crane, has the ends of the supporting
beam resting on wheels running on rails at high level, usually on the parallel side walls of a
factory or similar large industrial building, so that the whole crane can move the length of
the building while the hoist can be moved to and fro across the width of the building

This comprises of a motor of sufficient power a totally enclosed helical gear box, a
rope drum coupled to the gear box by a specially designed flexible geared coupling.

The motor is coupled through flexible geared coupling to the gear box and on the
other end an electro- magnetic/electro hydraulic thruster brake is provided which comes
into operation as soon as the power is switched off (i.e. fail to safe type operation).
 The gear box is having casting body incorporating all machine/hob cut helical gear
trains and is splash lubricated. The use of totally enclosed helical gear boxes though rather
expensive more than justifies the extra price in view of the advantages of high transmission
efficiency, less meshing noise and longer life.

7.6) ROLLER CONVEYOR

In BU 01 roller conveyors are used for transferring the block from one machine to
another. It makes the work easy by saving time and labour (by easy transmission). Here
Chain driven roller conveyors are used.

Chain Driven Roller Conveyors

 The chain driven roller conveyors can handle heavy loads. They are also used to
convey heat, oil, grease, etc. The chain driven roller conveyors have a sprocket on one end.
The sprocket and the drive chain maintain continuous rotation of the rollers to easily
convey goods.

Chain Driven Live Roller conveyors are the cornerstone of unit load conveying
systems. The conveyor is driven by separate loops of chain that connect each pair of double
sprocket carrier rollers. This simple, rugged, and reliable design is ideal for transporting
pallets, containers, drums, and fixtures. Our modular based design offers easy segmentation
of the conveyors into controllable drive zones, accumulation zones, and simple insertion of
transfers and other accessory devices.

Advantages of this conveyor are quiet operation, as well as easy installation and
maintenance. They can be manufactured for almost all applications, at relatively low
expense.

 9) CONCLUSION
We completed updating the work instructions according to existing process and
even made other changes like safety instructions, Deburring instructions and reaction plan
as per required. We also updated Process details according to a format which covered all
the required details on machine.

We got a thorough understanding of practical implementation which helped us to

enhance our vision of knowledge and understanding. We look forward for such projects in
future and continue our learning process.
