New Product Development

1. Production Process

The Design & Fabrication of all types of dies are done through exporting the 3D Model into our Die machining centre.

The crankshafts are forged in our 16000 T hammer / 8000 T Press as per requirement & customer specification.

The crankshafts undergo a heat treatment process (H & T) & 100% Crack testing (Magnaflux) before we initiate machining of the same.

The material composition & properties are perfectly checked prior to machining in our R&D Laboratory & testing centre.

Initially Facing & Centering, Turning & Milling & Oil Hole Drilling is carried out on the CNC Machines in the Rough Machining Unit.

The Finish Machining Unit consists of CNC grinding, dynamic balancing, post grinding operations, superfinishing & Accessory Product and Assembly.

The R&D Laboratory & Testing Centre consisting of metallurgical testing, Crack Testing, Fatigue/durability testing, Dimensional testing, etc ensures that every crankshaft leaving our shop floor is 100% quality checked.

2. Concurrent Engineering

Crankshafts of any applications can be made according to drawing or sample. Through these customer specifications we receive the relevant data required for development.

The crankshaft drawings & specifications are developed in our CAD or 3D software.

Material testing is done in our R&D & Metallurgical laboratory. The Use of materials is decided depending upon the chemical composition as per engine running type or if specified in Customer drawing.

The material composition & properties are perfectly checked prior to machining in our R&D Laboratory & testing centre.

We have a prototype division where the entire process of manufacturing is done on a parallel & flexible line without affecting the series of production.

  • Forging:The crankshafts are forged in our 16000 T hammers & up to a length of 2.5 metres. The crankshafts undergo a heat treatment process (H & T) & 100% Crack testing (Magnaflux) before we initiate machining of the same.
  • Machining:All machining such as Turning, drilling, milling, threading, etc are done on our automated CNC machines.
  • Dynamic Balancing & Final Assembly:The crankshafts are dynamically balanced & finally Counterweights & gears are installed if required. Then the crankshafts are ready to install on on the engine

As the conclusion of our process of Concurrent Engineering, there is a complete documented solution in terms of drawings/layouts for the production process

  • Research & Development is in the forefront of the company’s strategy to be relevant & establish itself in the future of the Forging industry.
  • There is a dedicated facility spread over 1 Acre only for the Research & Development purposes.
  • There is a constant drive to extend the product range & explore new markets.
  • The key motives other than new product development is Cost Saving in manufacturing processes & product improvement projects with the customers.
  • There is a strategic tie up in place with Technology Institutes & Universities which use this R&D setup & jointly work on key projects.
