KEY HIGHLIGHTS

ITEM:DOOR-HINGE,ADJUSTABLE-BUSHING(TEXMACO),LABIRYNTH ETC.

(HVF,AVADI),TIE ROD,(BEML),DANA ETC.

ITEM: BFB Drum (Honda Motors - 2 Wheeler)

COMPANY: Satellite Forging(PRESS FORGING)

PROBLEM: Observed lapping on the side wall of two pockets after 50 to 100 Nos. of pieces of production and centre distance (CD) between 2 - boss found oversize after trimming operation. After forging CD is found to be within tolerance range. Furthermore trimming component undergo coining operation to maintain the CD.

ROOT CAUSE: For lapping peg radius was found 5 MM and during trimming operation small boss is pushed further downward resulting oversize of CD.

ACTION TAKEN: For lapping radius is increased to 8 MM from 5 MM in both peg. and to maintain the CD within tolerance limit the small boss profile height is increased by 0.5 MM

RESULT: Lapping is observed in between 3000 to 4000 Nos. of pieces. The die is further polished to maintain the Required radius and for the 2nd case CD problem avoided. Rejection reduced and eliminated the coining operation.

ITEM: Shifter Fork Upper/Lower (Tata Motors - Truck Item)

COMPANY: Zenith Forge Ltd(HAMMER FORGING)

PROBLEM: Under filling found at fork end pad.

ACTION TAKEN: A lip angle is provided of size 15 MM long & 1.5 MM deep at the end of pad in top & bottom die in bloker impression.

RESULT: Under filling avoided.
