Presented by: Prasad Tapkir , Abhishek Deshpande, and Abhishekh Daga Guided by: Prof. P.P.Hujare

GBS 40

Pitch = 1.2mm

PROBLEM STATEMENT CURRENT PRACTISE

Data Collected: 1st March ‘14

1. More Time Requirement for the manual process. (3 min/ring).

2. Stock Pilling3. Improper Quality Consistency.

DEMERITS OF CURRENT PROCESS

1. Patent on “ALUMINOUS ABRASIVE PARTICLES, A METHOD OF MAKING AND APPLICATIONS OF SAME”; Patent no: 0 503 598 A2 by NORTON COMPANY 1 New Bond Street, Worcester, MA 01615-0008(US).

2. “DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE CATALOGUE” – by VANAZ ENGINEERS LTD.

3. “DETAILS OF GBS 40” – by TATA MOTORS.4. Textbook of “FLUID POWER AND

APPLICATION” –by Anthony Esposito.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS

GBS- 40 is used in automotive synchromesh gearbox for smooth gear shifting.

The Grit Particles of Shot Blasting trapped in the Ring Threads are to be removed completely and automatically at faster rate. Manual System

TOOL DESIGN AND FEA ANALYSIS

The Automated Grit Removal process has achieved the planned requirements of improving productivity. The project thus would be used in actual production line of Synchromesh Ring. Thus the developed system could be considered as an innovation in the field of automotive technology.
