1. INTRODUCTION
The machine tool industry constitutes the backbone of the industrial sector and is vital for the growth
of the Indian Economy. Even though the Indian machine tool industry is a small segment of the
engineering industry, it plays a very important role in the development and the technology up
gradation of the engineering industry. The quality and cost of engineering products depend on the
mother machine tools and their automation level. The development of the machine tool industry is
therefore paramount importance for a competitive and self-reliant industrial structure. This report
discusses the 6 weeks industrial training at HMTs machine tool division at Pinjore, Haryana. The
training was completed in July 2016.

1.1 HMT AT A GLANCE


By the end of Second World War, the government of India confronted by a big problem of disposing
the colossal war waste. Ultimately, a committee was constituted to inquire into the possibilities. The
committee report of 1948 proposed the establishment of a government owned machine tool industry.
This was expected to fulfill two aspects. The first was being utilization of the Rs.4000 crores of
metallic waste. The second was the incorporation of a state manufacturing facility. The result was
the birth of THE HINDUSTAN MACHINE TOOLS LIMITED, which led to the present multicore, multi-location, multi-unit, multi-product industrial giant HMT Ltd.
Right from the prior H.M.T. has played an important role in providing the much needed industrial
base as well as a launching pad for the growth & development of the country. HMT was conceived
by the Government of India by Our first Prime Minister, Pundit Jawaharlal Nehrus. Who dreams
to build modern India paved the way for setting up of various Public sector undertakings in different
industrial sectors. This initiative led to rapid industrialization of the country and he acknowledged
the same as "Temples of Modern India"
HMT Limited was established in 1953 in technical collaboration with Orleikon of Switzerland. Over
the years, new products have been added to its manufacturing range. Since then different
collaborations, continued in house R&D and tremendous marketing efforts brought HMT, to present
status
The company that started with manufacturing and selling lathes expanded its machine tool products
range to evolve as the ultimate solution in metal cutting. The product diversification efforts tool the
company to the business of watches in 1962, tractor in 1971, die-casting on plastic machinery in
1971, printing machinery in 1972, lamps and lamp making machinery in 1976, food processing
machinery in 1980, CNC systems in 1986, ball screws in 1986 and reconditioning in 1990.
Thus, Hindustan Machine Tools Limited, or HMT began in a small way to meet a big commitment
"To manufacture mother machines to build modern industrial India"

2. FOUNDARY DEPARTMENT
The foundry and pattern shop attached to the machine
tool division, HMT Pinjore and part of engineering
components business group is geared to manufacture all
cast iron & spherical graphical iron required for machine
for machine tools and tractors and can also take job
orders. Established in 1963 with polish edge design, it is
semi mechanized foundry producing heavy duty gray &
SG iron casting for machine tool and for tractors using
main frequency induction furnaces for melting and resin
bonded sand for molding and core making.

Foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Fig 7: Bronze poured from a crucible into
Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, a mold, using the lost-wax casting process
pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the mold
material or casting after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metals processed
are aluminum and cast iron. However, other metals, such as bronze, brass, steel, magnesium,
and zinc, are also used to produce can A be formed castings in foundries. In this process, parts of
desired shapes and sizes
HMTs foundry shop comprises of two units:

One is the captive foundry, meant for the small production of casting having weight up to 4
tons. The capacity of this foundry is 1000 MT per annum.
And the other is meant for mass production of comparatively smaller tractor and machine
components. The capacity of this foundry is 2000 MT per annum.

2.1 PATTERN MAKING


A pattern is defined as anything used for forming an impression called mould in the sand. Mould
when filled with molten material on solidifying, forms a reproduction of the pattern and is known
as mould. It is slightly larger in size than casting. As the first stage in preparing the casting, the
pattern of the castings is prepared. Pattern of casting is prepared at pattern shop with either of the
materials given below:

JASKIRAT SINGH

Report on industrial training

2016

Wood: - Wood is the most commonly used pattern material as it is cheap, easily available
and also easy to join and fabricate. But it has a large rate of moisture absorption and also
warping and wearing is high.

Metals: - Metals have the advantage that they do not warp, are very accurate and have high
strength. But shaping is slightly difficult and it is also subjected to rusting and the costs are
also high.

Plastics: - They are mostly thermosetting plastics. They are light in weight, have very good
surface, do not react with water or air and are not subjected to warping, but cannot
withstand high temperatures.

Plasters: - The most common example is gypsum cement. Repairs cant be easily
Done and it does not need skilled labour.

Wax: - Wax has very good surface finish, can be easily altered to any shape and is very
accurate. But it cannot withstand high temperatures.

Thermocol:- single use patterns are made using thermocol


In the process of casting, a pattern is a replica of the object to be cast, used to prepare the cavity
into which molten material will be poured during the casting process. The pattern needs to
incorporate suitable shrinkage allowances depending on material flow and heat transfer
considerations. Pattern making is a skilled technique that was highly valued in the different cultures
practicing casting through the centuries.
In sand casting, the pattern is usually of wood, whereas it may be metal or other materials in
pressure or centrifugal casting. The patternmaker also decides where the sprues and risers (inlet and
outlet for molten material) will be placed with respect to the pattern. Parts of the object which have
holes or depressions are handled by inserting cores defining volumes that the material will not flow
into. Sometimes patterns may also accommodate chills, solid pieces of the final material, to
enable rapid cooling, resulting in martensitic hardening in the neighborhood of the chill.

2.2 SAND MOLD AND CORE MAKING


The procedure of making a typical sand molding starts by placing a bottom board first either on the
molding platform or on the floor, making the surface even. The drag mounding flask is kept upside
down on the bottom board along with the drag part of the pattern at the center of the flask on
the board. There should be enough clearance between the pattern and the walls of the flask Rest of
the drag flask is completely filled with the backup sand and uniformly rammed to compact the sand.
The ramming of sand should be done properly so as not to compact it too hard, which makes the
escape of gases difficult, nor too loose so that mould would not have enough strength. After the
ramming is over, the excess sand in the flask is completely scraped using a flat bar to the level of
the flask edge. The finished drag flask is now rolled over to the bottom board exposing the pattern.
Using stick, the edges of the sand around the pattern is repaired and cope half of the pattern is placed
over the drag pattern, aligning it with the help of dowel pins. The cope flask on top of the drag is
located aligning again with the help of the pins. The dry parting sand is sprinkled all over the drag
and on the pattern.
In HMT due to complex structure of components (such as gear box) are produced with the help of
master pattern. Here core is first made with the help of master pattern after which the core is allowed
to be baked.
Sand casting is the most common production technique, especially for ferrous castings. Sand is
mixed with clay and water or with chemical binders and then packed or rammed around the pattern
to form a mould half. The two halves are joined together to make the mould - a rigid cavity that
provides the required shape for the casting.

2.3 METAL MELTING


The process of melting in HMT is carried out in induction furnaces at a temperature of about 14001450C

PROCESS OF METAL MELTING: At first the induction furnaces are coated with fine
cement clay. Now metal scrap is inserted in the furnace and slag coagulant is added to it. The
requisite amount of coke is added to it. The current is supplied to copper coils provided in the
furnace which induce current in the metal scrap and the scrap gets heated up, when the melting
temperature is reached the molten metal is collected in ladles and taken to the pouring zone. When
this process is being carried out the copper coils are regularly cooled with coolant (water) so that
the coils do not melt due to the high temperature generated in the coils.
The foundry of HMT has three furnaces, two, each having capacity of 3MT and one of 1.5MT.
The two types of induction furnaces are:-

Fig 9: Electric furnace

Main frequency Induction Furnace(50Hz)


Medium frequency Induction Furnace(250Hz)

JASKIRAT SINGH

Report on industrial training

2016

Melting of metal ion medium frequency furnaces are faster than the main frequency furnaces.
Molten metal is prepared in a variety of furnaces, the choice of which is determined by the quality,
quantity and throughput required. Electric induction furnaces are the most common type used for
batch melting of ferrous, copper and super alloys. This method involves the use of an electrical
current surrounding a crucible that holds the metal charge. Furnace sizes range from < 100 kg up to
15 tones. For production of super alloys and titanium, melting may be undertaken in a vacuum
chamber to prevent oxidation.

After the melting process is complete, the molten metal is carried quickly to the moulds to prevent
solidification. The inversion of Induction Furnaces is carried out by hydraulic lifts fitted just below
the whole apparatus.

2.4 CASTING AND SEPERATION


Molten metal is poured into moulds using various types of ladles, or in high volume production,
automated pouring furnaces. Metal is poured into the runner (a channel into the mould cavity)
until the runner bush is full. The riser provides an additional reservoir of feed metal to counteract
the shrinkage that occurs as the casting begins to cool.
When the metal has cooled sufficiently for the casting to hold its shape, it is separated from the
mould by mechanical or manual methods. Where sand moulds are used, the process is often referred
to as shakeout or knockout, and large amounts of dust may be generated.

2.5 REMOVAL OF RUNNER AND RISER


A riser, also known as a feeder, is a reservoir built into a metal casting mold to prevent cavities due
to shrinkage. Most metals are less dense as a liquid than as a solid so castings shrink upon cooling,
which can leave a void at the last point to solidify.
Risers prevent this by providing molten metal to the casting as it solidifies, so that the cavity forms
in the riser and not the casting. Risers are not effective on materials that have a large freezing range,
because directional solidification is not possible.
They are also not needed for casting processes that utilized pressure to fill the mold cavity. A feeder
operated by a treadle is called an under feeder.

Fig 10: Runner and Riser

After
casting,
these
extraneous pieces of metal
are removed and often
collected for re- melting. In
ferrous castings and larger
non-ferrous castings, they
may be removed by knocking
off, sawing or cutting using
an arc air or oxy-propane
torch. In die-castings, they
are often snapped off
manually.

2.6 FINISHING PROCESS


FETTLING: The complete process of the cleaning of casting, called fettling, involves
the removal of the cores, gates and risers, cleaning of the casting surface and chipping of any of the
unnecessary projections on the surface. The dry sand cores can be removed simply by knocking off
with an iron bar, by means of a core vibrator, or by means of hydro blasting. The method depends
on the size, complexity and the core material being used.
Before fettling, the casting obtained is subjected to removal of projections, chips, core, runner,
riser etc. by the following processes:

Deco-ring
Chipping
Shot blasting (for heavy pattern)
Wheel abrasion (for small pattern)

Priming and painting


Deco-ring:
Deco-ring is the process of removing the fused sand.
Chipping:
Chipping is the process of removing the runner, riser etc.
Shot Blasting & Wheel Abrasion:
Shot blasting or wheel abrasion is used for removing the sand particles by the usage of air.
After this fettling is done by the following process:

Pneumatic gun- to remove corner sand.


Angle grinder- to give corner finish.
Die grinder- to give finish to inner portion.
Pedestal grinder-to give surface finish.

While making casting for gears, surface finish is not required because gear has to be cut on it with
the help of milling machine after which it is grinded.
Priming & Painting:
After clean and fettling, the casting is subjected to priming and painting to prevent corrosion.

3. HEAT TREATMENT
Heat Treatment is the controlled heating and cooling of metals to alter their physical and mechanical
properties without changing the product shape. Heat treatment is sometimes done inadvertently due
to manufacturing processes that either heat or cool the metal such as welding or forming.
Heat Treatment is often associated with increasing the strength of material, but it can also be used
to alter certain manufacturability objectives such as improve machining, improve formability, and
restore ductility after a cold working operation. Thus it is a very enabling manufacturing process
that can not only help other manufacturing process, but can also improve product performance by
increasing strength or other desirable characteristics.
In this section, various operations like annealing, normalizing, hardening, carburizing are performed
at various temperatures to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the material. This
section has the furnaces, hot baths, and various types of tanks containing different salts & chemical
to perform the various operations.

Report on industrial training

The following four heat treatment processes are the most commonly used:
Annealing is the process for making material softer while producing uniform material properties.
A material can be annealed by heating it to a specific temperature and then letting the material
slowly cool to room temperature in an over. This process is expensive because the oven is unusable
during the cool down process.
Normalizing is also a process for making material softer but does not produce the uniform material
properties of annealing. A material can be normalized by heating it to a specific temperature and
then letting the material cool to room temperature outside of the oven. This process is less expensive
than annealing.
Stress Relieving is also a process for making material softer. However, stress relieving does not
change the material properties as does annealing and normalizing. A material can be stress relieved
by heating it to a specific temperature that is lower than that of annealing or normalizing and letting
it cool to room temperature inside or outside of the oven. This heat treatment is typically used on
parts that have been severely stressed during fabrication.
It is worth noting that many heat treatments and welding processes cause stresses in the material
that can lead to warpage either after the heat treating process or during subsequent machining
operations. Of specific concern is the stress induced by welding. If a weldment is to be machined
it should almost always be stress relieved or normalized before the machining process.
Quench Tempering is the process for making material harder. This method has been known for
hundreds of years but was only perfected in the last century. The metal is heated to a specific
temperature and rapidly cooled (quenched) in a bath of water, brine, oil or air to increase its
hardness.
Carburizing it a heat treatment process in which iron or steel absorbs carbon while the metal is
heated in the presence of a carbon bearing material, such as charcoal or carbon monoxide. The intent
is to make the metal harder. Depending on the amount of time and temperature, the affected area
can vary in carbon content. Longer carburizing times and higher temperatures typically increase the
depth of carbon diffusion.
This manufacturing process can be characterized by the following key points: It is applied to lowcarbon workpieces; workpieces are in contact with a high-carbon gas, liquid or solid; it produces a
hard workpiece surface; workpiece cores largely retain their toughness and ductility; and it
produces case hardness depths of up to 0.25 inches (6.4 mm).

5. HEAVY PARTS AND TOOL ROOM


5.1 HEAVY PARTS:
It is the shop which gives the shape to the largest castings which come from the foundry after being
painted rough. In this section various operations are performed by the help of planers, boring and
planning-boring machines.
In this section, first of all the jobs are checked for the castings to be over-size or undersize. If they
are undersize, they are sent to scrap. If they are oversize, they are marked and sent for machining.
Different types of operations are done by using different machines including various measuring
devices.
This section also includes in itself a high technology section in which advanced machines are placed
to machine crucial parts generally guide ways etc. It accommodates a tool preset device which is
used to set the tool of all machines and CNC machines. It is used to measure the length and diameter
of the tool with the help of leases.

The various parts manufactured in heavy parts department are:

Various types of machine installed in heavy parts department are:

CNC Plano type milling machine


Plano milling machine
Double housing planer
Radial drilling machine
Surface grinding machine
SPM deep hole boring machine
Horizontal and vertical boring machine
Vertical turret

Heavy parts section are generally divided into the following sections:
1. PLANNING SECTION
2. BORING SECTION

5.1.1. PLANNING SECTION


This section essentially consists of planners mounted on one side of the section. In this section the job
planning is one of the basic operations done for machining to large process, it is primarily intended for
machining to large flat surfaces. The surface which is to be machines may be flat or vertical.

PLANNING SECTION CONSIST OF TWO TYPE OF MACHINES


A. PLANO MILLER:-Milling machine uses a multipoint cutting tool in Plano type milling machine.
Heavy jobs can be seated and using above arbor and gang milling cutter profile can be milled very
easily. Planners are used for planning for planning and finishing the milled surface. It can set up to 4
meter length.

B. CNC PLANO MILLER:


This CNC type Plano miller is used for milling heavy parts like body, bed, and head stock.
The threads duration can be easily achieved by using the universal tool head and the table
movements areas. It uses a tool head and can be swirled to 360 degree and can be replaced
by a universal tool head. It can be set at any angle in any direction.

Fig 12: CNC Plano miller

5.1.2. BORING SECTION:


Boring section consists of enlarging an already drilled hole. The holes are pre drilled as in castings
only the operations of boring can also be done on small scale on lathe whether it may be capstan
lathe or turret lathe. The operations of boring machines are used according to requirements.
Machining time in boring:Machining time is the time required to complete the work place in a request period of time.
Time required = Length of cut/ (RPM feed per meter)

Types of boring machines installed


1. VERTICAL TYPE
2. HORIZONTAL TYPE

JASKIRAT SINGH

Report on industrial training

2016

A. VERTICAL BORING MACHINE:This type of machine is large in size and vertical. The spindle is vertical and bores vertical holes in
the spindle. Vertical boring is a machining process whereby a part to be machined is clamped to a
bed and a machining tool is rotated to produce some cylindrical, internal feature in the work piece.
The cylindrical surface to be produced is oriented in the vertical direction and the tool is typically
fed down into the work piece.
Many vertical boring operations can be performed by a conventional mill and boring attachment,
so in general vertical boring machines are used to machine large castings and blocks of metal too
heavy for a regular mill.
One of the advantages of carrying out the boring operation in the vertical position is the ease of
clearing cuttings from around the cutting tool. Another key advantage is that the need for a large
amount of power to rotate a very large block of steel and the associated dangers are avoided.
Another variation on the vertical borer is the vertical lathe. With this type of machine, the work
piece is rotated instead of the cutting tool, but the general operation and application is similar but
the application is for smaller, lighter work pieces. The machine can also be used as a drilling
machine.
Typical applications for vertical boring are:

Line boring of large machine tool casings and engine blocks.

Machining internal bearing diameters in large castings.

Finish machining of cylindrical surfaces on very large work pieces.

B. HORIZONTAL BORING MACHINE:In horizontal boring machine operations are performed on those workpieces which relatively large
and which cannot be rotated and require operations on its many surfaces. The worktable can be
transverses along and across the machine bed. It is possible to machine a flat surface with the based
hole by mounting a facing head over the spindle. A horizontal boring machine has its work spindle
parallel to the ground and work table. Typically there are three linear axes in which the tool head
and part move. Convention dictates that the main axis that drives the part towards the work spindle
is the Z axis, with a cross-traversing X axis and a vertically traversing Y axis. The work spindle is
referred to as the C axis and, if a rotary table is incorporated, its center line is the B axis.

Fig 14: Horizontal Boring Machine

Boring head: Boring head on Morse taper shank. A small boring bar is inserted into one of the
holes. The head can be shifted left or right with fine gradation by a screw, adjusting the diameter of
the circle that the cutting tip swings through, thus controlling the Hole size, even down to within 10
micrometers if all machining conditions are good.

Part program
Machine control unit
Machine tool

Fig 19: HINUMERIC 2100M CNC control system

Part program is a detailed set of commands to be followed by the machine tool. Each command
specifies a position in the Cartesian coordinate system. Programmers should be well versed with
machine tools machining process.
Machine Control Unit (MCU) is a microcomputer that store the program and executes the
command into actions by the machine tool. It consists of two main units the date processing unit
(DPU) and control loop unit (CLU). DPU software includes control system software, calculations
algorithm, translation software that converts path program into usable further, interpolation
algorithm to achieve smooth motion of cutter, editing of part program. CLU consists of the circuits
for position and velocity control loops, deceleration and backlash take up, and function controls
such as spindle on/off.
Point to Point systems
That move the tools or the workpiece from one point to another and then the tool programs the
required task.
Continuous path systems
It provides continuous path such that the tool can perform while the tools are moving, enabling the
system to generate angular surfaces, two dimensions or three dimensional contours. Velocity error
is significant in affecting the position of the cutter.
Interpolator
The input speed of 1in/sec in example 2 is converted into the velocity components by an interpolator
called the linear interpolator whose function is to provide the velocity signals to X and Y directions.

7. GPM ASSEMBELY
GPM stands for general purpose machines. These are generally manually worked machines
involving no computerized or numerical control. These machines are semiautomatic in nature and
some of its operation like table movement, job movement, tool movement etc. can be carried out
either automatically or even manually. These are operated by concerned operations only. The
concept of modern days machines originated from GPMs itself. These are the simplest form of the
metal working machines.
Examples of these machines- Lathe machines, milling machines, drilling machines, grinding
machines etc.
In HMT, Pinjore unit primarily four types of GPM are manufactured

FN2 milling machines


FN3 milling machines
Turret Ram milling machines
Broaching machines.

The machines are further classified into horizontal, vertical and universal milling machines.
a) When the rotating spindle lies vertical w.r.t. the table the machine is termed as vertical (V)
milling machine.
b) When the rotating spindle lies horizontal w.r.t. the table the machine is as horizontal (H) milling
machine.
c) When the cutting can be done at any angle of the job with the help of rotary motion of tile table
the machine is termed as universal (U) milling machine.
Thus, these machines are named as FN2V, FN2H, FN2U, FN3H, FN3V, FN3U, TRM3V, and
TRM3H. Now here we would discuss the features of the three types of milling machines with their
properties:-

BROACHING ASSEMBELY
A broach is a multi- point cutting tool consisting of a bar having a surface containing a series of
cutting teeth or edges which gradually increases in size from starting and to the rear end. The basic
purpose of the machine is to form splines to hollow jobs. Splines are multiple slots on the hollow
surface of the job. The surface may be flat, circular, or any intricate shape. In broaching, the broach
is pushed or pulled over/through a surface of workpiece. Each tooth of the tool takes a slice from
the surface. Broaching of inside surface is
called internal or hole broaching and that of
outside surface is called surface broaching.
Material:High speed steel, brazed carbides or
disposable inserts are sometimes used for
cutting edges for machining of cast iron parts.
Carbide tools are used to an advantage on steel.

8. CNC ASSEMBELY
The increasing demands the need for high accuracy, scrap reduction etc. have pulled for
development in the field of machining and manufacture. All these have led to the invention and
improvement of CNC machines which can undoubtedly be termed as one of milestones of century.
In GPMs mass production is not possible. Moreover complex shaped jobs require high precision.
They need for flexible automation has always been felt. And this is an era of machine tool
automation. So, flexible automation is implemented in machine tools in the form of NC and CNC
(Computerized Numerical Control) technology. Today HMT is producing a lot of CNC variants
of conventional machine tools with the specialized functions and mostly CNC products.

Fig 22: HMT stallion 200 series

CNC machines are part of the field named mechatronics. This field is the combination of electronics
and mechanical engineering fields. When they work in combination they are termed as above. A
single CNC machine can perform variety of machining operations in a sequential order (based upon
the programe). For example drilling, tapping, slotting, milling, etc. operator is used only for
clamping and de-clamping purpose (after feeding the programe). These machines ensure
repeatability of the dimensions (precision). Accuracy of these machines is in microns.
A CNC machine may be of three dimensional coordinate system with XYZ axis. Rest two are
available on machines whose table can rotate and tilt. These are 4th and 5th axis. The axis of the
spindle is termed as Z axis. The axis which crosses Z axis perpendicularly is X axis and the other
mutually perpendicular axis is Y axis. CNC machines differ in orientation of the main spindle.

If spindle is horizontal it is termed as HMC (horizontal machining center) and if the spindle is
vertical it is termed as VMC (vertical machining center).
Model number of machine depends upon capacity of machine. Capacity means traverse length along
various axis or maximum size of the pallet. Thus a VTC 1000 designates a CNC machines whose
spindle is vertical with pallet size or traverse length of 1000mm.
Various CNCs produced here: - HMC 320M, HMC 400M, HMC 500M, HMC 600M, HMC 800M,
VMC 400M, VMC 500M, VMC 800M, VMC 1000M etc.

Machine Description:Salient features of CNC machines are as follows:Bed type machine configuration:Bed type construction with longitudinal and cross movement to work table and vertical movement
to head, provides stable cutting condition and maximum rigidity. Box type construction of bed and
column with properly ribbed reinforcement minimizes torsion and flexural deflection.

Linear motion with guide ways:Preloaded anti friction linear motion type. Guide ways in the entire three provide clearance free
guidance for slides during cutting. Their use significantly reduces the coefficient of friction and
eliminates stick slip and thermal generation during high speed positioning. In addition they offer
high positioning and outstanding contouring capability.

Automatic Tool Changer (ATC):Machine is equipped with a suitable number of tool


station/pocket (mainly12, 30, 60,120). Using cam the
automatic tool changer changes a tool accurately and
swiftly.
Fig 23: ATC of a CNC machine

Long nose quill type spindle:Cylindrically shaped head end and prevents any interference with the work complicated shape. This
configuration also eliminates interference even with large steep work. Machining of deep holes in
the work are also possible with full power and without compromising tool rigidity.

Spindle cooling (for machine with spindle speed of 6000 rpm):Circulation of cooled oil through the oil jacket around the main spindle bearing, maintains precision
even in long and continuous runs.

Steeples AC spindle motor:AC spindle motor eliminates the troublesome brush inspections and replacements required in case
of DC motors. Another advantage of DC motor is that it reduces electrically consumption.

Electronic spindle orientation:The spindle motor has built in encoder for position feedback of the spindle. Spindle orientation
stops spindle in a particular position. This helps in retracting bars without damaging bores in boring
operations and counter-boring/Facing. Automatic tool change is also achieved through the features.
AC servomotors:All the three axes are driven through AC servomotors. Their use
provides a higher rapid rate of revolution with minimum
maintenance. They also provide high acceleration and deceleration
property and subsequently increase the machining efficiency.

Lubrication:-

Fig 24: servomotor

Automatic lubrication is provided for minimal operator attention. Main spindle bearing and all axes
drive bearing are fitted with synthetic grease, requiring no attention for long periods. All axes ball
screws and linear re-circulating bearings are also lubricated.

Automatic chip collection:Flushing coolant with discharge of 100lpm is used for automatic flushing of chips and is collected
in tray at rear of machine. Wide channels with sufficient scope are provided in both sides of bed
for easy disposal of chips at rear of machine.

CRT (CONTINUOUS ROTARY TABLE):A rotary table is a precision work positioning device used in
metalworking. It enables the operator to drill or cut work at exact
intervals around a fixed (usually horizontal or vertical) axis. Some
rotary tables allow the use of index plates for indexing operations,
and some can also be fitted with dividing plates that enable regular
work positioning at divisions for which indexing plates are not
available.
Fig 25: Continues rotary table

Machining Features (Optional):1. External coolant on spindle: - External coolant facilities the machining of steel/aluminum. It also helps
in taking away chips from machining zone with its large flow.
2. Mist coolant: - Machining of light metals is facilitated with mist coolant. Mist coolant takes away heat
from work zone, with change of state. It does not require any return path.
3. Chip conveyor: - It takes away large volume of chips produced out of the machine continuously with its
independent drive.
4. Refrigeration type of spindle coolant: - Coolant of cooled oil with heat exchanger (refrigeration type),
through spindle jacket provides higher spindle stability which results in improved working accuracy.
5. Spindle mounted probe: - Spindle mounted probe with auto measuring cycle and datum cycle makes
fixture/job setting simple.
6. Higher speed spindle up to 8000 rpm: - It facilitates machining of light metals with latest tool
technology.
7. Pallet changer: - This part is concerned with handling of additional table on which the next job can be
mounted for machining meanwhile machining of the current job is going on which considerably reduces the
mounting time.

9. CONCLUSION
HMT Machine Tools Pinjore, is the first public sector to Develop, Design, manufacture and
commissioning of fully automatic horizontal and vertical machining centers in the country. They
are also the first to manufacture high speed machining centers. There designed machines are used
in various auto sector companies. There designed machines are also exported to Europe, America,
Middle East and Russia.
Perhaps one point that is a big boost to this company is the tremendous respect it has for quality of
service. From microscale precision right in the convexity of lathe beds, rigorous testing of all
equipment, and secured delivery and training services, HMT is now generating clientele in the
public as well as private sectors.

Fig 26: The Main Manufacturing Facility of HMT Pinjore

My experience has been one of thrill as well as intense learning. The on-site exposure to the
traditional methods of manufacturing using lathes, cutting, drilling, milling and slotting machines,
using collimators for measurement, as well as hands on experience with modern Computer
Integrated Manufacturing using VMC and HMC machines, multi-point cutting tools, multi tool
turret systems, etc. The exposure to areas like Production and Operations management, Job Shop
Scheduling, Aggregate Planning, etc. were a key aspect of the training period.
At the end of it, I have had quite a bit to take back from this place, and recognize the contribution
it made in my understanding of the industry in engineering.
