Banaras Locomotive Works i.e. BLW was formerly known as Diesel Locomotive
Works (DLW). It is a locomotive production unit of Indian Railways. "DLW"
stopped manufacturing diesel locomotives in March 2019 and its name was
changed to Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW) in October 2020.
The foundation stone of DLW (Diesel Locomotive Works) was laid on 23 April
1956 by the first President of India Late Rajendra Prasad and on August 1961
Banaras Locomotive Works was established as "DLW". Three years later, on 3
January 1964, DLW released its Broad Gauge Locomotive (WDM-2) by (Late)
5. Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri. It has produced several variants based on the GM EMD
designs of the 1990s, with the original ALCO design from the 1960s.
Banaras Locomotive Works has consistently won the "Best Production Unit
Shield 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18" of Indian Railways. In March 2018, it
successfully created history by converting two old ALCO Diesel Loco WDG3A
into Electric Loco WAGC-3 (WAG-10). This happened for the first time in the
world. Before discontinuing diesel loco production, DLW was the largest diesel-
electric locomotive manufacturer in India. Altogether BLW has manufactured
8298 Diesel and 1050* Electric Rail Locomotives.
In March 2019, it developed the country's first bi-mode locomotive, WDAP-
5. Today, Banaras Locomotive Works produces mostly electric locomotives
WAP-7, WAG-9, WAG-11.
6. Due to the hard work and efficiency of the workers of this factory, orders are
being received for making engines from many countries. In addition to Indian
Railways, BLW regularly exports locomotives to countries such as Sri Lanka,
Nepal, Bangladesh, Mali, Senegal, Tanzania, Angola, Mozambique and Vietnam
and some users within India such as ports, large power and steel plants and
private railways. Offers its services to.

⑴ Shearing machine is widely used for direct shearing of various metal materials according
to different needs. It is mainly used in steel manufacturing, shipbuilding, automobile,
container manufacturing, switchgear, machinery manufacturing, and light industry.
⑵ The shearing machine is driven by the hydraulic system to press the pressing material to
press the steel plate, and the left and right cylinders drive the tool holder to move up and
down. The upper blade on the tool holder is fixed to the lower blade of the lower blade seat
and adopts reasonable blade clearance and various thicknesses. The sheet metal is subjected
to shearing forces to cause the sheet to break apart at the desired size.
16. 2 . CNC Bending Machine
The CNC bending machine uses the equipped mold to bend the cold metal sheet into various
geometric cross-sectional shapes. It is a sheet forming machine designed for cold-rolled
sheet metal processing, and is widely used in sheet bending processing in industries such as
automobiles, aircraft manufacturing, light industry, shipbuilding, containers, elevators, and
railway vehicles.
Features of CNC Bending Machine:
1. Direct angle programming with angle compensation function.
2. The grating ruler real-time detection feedback correction, full closed-loop control, back
gauge and slider dead gauge positioning accuracy is ±0.02mm.
3. The upper mold adopts a quick clamping device, and the lower mold adopts a wedge
deformation compensation mechanism.
4. With multi-step programming function, it can realize multiple automatic operation,
complete one-time processing of multi-step parts, and improve production efficiency.
5. The imported hydraulic system with stable performance and compact structure can be
selected according to user requirements, and the back gauge can be driven by ball screw and
timing belt.
17. Operating procedures of CNC Bending Machine
1. Strictly abide by the safety operating procedures and wear labor protection equipment as
required.
2. Before starting, carefully check whether the motor, switch, circuit and grounding are
normal and firm, and check that the control parts and buttons of the equipment are stuck in
the correct position.
3. Check the overlap and firmness of the upper and lower molds; check whether each
positioning device meets the requirements of being processed.
4. When the upper slide plate and each positioning axis are not at the origin, run the return to
origin program.
5. After the equipment is started, run dry for 1-2 minutes, and move on the slide for 2-3
times at full stroke. If abnormal sound or malfunction is found, stop immediately, remove the
malfunction, and work after everything is normal.
6. When working, one person should command uniformly, so that the operators and the
feeding and suppressing personnel should cooperate closely to ensure that the cooperating
personnel are in a safe position before they can send out the bending signal.
7. When the sheet is bent, it must be compacted to prevent the sheet from lifting up and
hurting people during bending.
8. The power supply must be cut off when adjusting the sheet metal die, and the operation
should be stopped.
3. CNC Hydraulic Turret Press Punch Machine
18.
19. CNC turret punch servo system is an automatic control system that controls the position and
speeds of the moving parts of the machine tool, also known as follow-up system, drag
system or servo mechanism. In CNC machine tools, the servo system receives the feed
generated by the computer interpolation software. The pulse or feed displacement is
transformed and amplified into the displacement of the moving part. The servo system can
be divided into position servo (the position of the table and the position and starting angle of
the main shaft) and speed servo (the speed of the rotation of the table motor).
The composition and working principle of the servo system
The CNC turret punch servo system consists of a speed loop and a position loop. As shown
in the figure, this is a double closed-loop system. The inner loop is the speed loop and the
outer loop is the position loop. Speed control is an important part of the servo system, and
the speed loop consists of a speed control unit, a servo motor and a speed detection device.
The speed control unit is used to control the speed of the motor and is the core of the speed
control system. It is an independent unit, composed of speed regulator, current regulator and
power drive amplifier.
The detection devices used for speed feedback in the speed loop are tachogenerators, pulse
encoders, etc. The position loop is composed of the position control module, speed control
unit, position detection and feedback control in the CNC device. The position control is
mainly to control the motion coordinate axis of the machine tool. The coordinate axis control
is the required position control. It not only has strict requirements on the control of the
movement speed and position accuracy of a single uranium, but also requires that each
moving uranium has a Good dynamic coordination can ensure processing efficiency,
processing accuracy and surface roughness.
【Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of CNC turret punch press】
CNC turret punching machines have many advantages. They are: strong adaptability to parts
and can process parts surfaces of complex shapes; high productivity; high machining
accuracy and stable machining quality; shortened production preparation time, facilitated
modern management; reduced labor for workers strength.
(1) Compared with ordinary machine tools, CNC turret punching machines can improve
production efficiency by 3 to 5 times, and use CNC machining center machine tools to
achieve productivity of 5-10 times;
(2) CNC turret punching machine can obtain higher machining accuracy than the machine
tool itself;
(3) Complex shape parts can be processed without special fixtures;
(4) One machine can be used for multiple purposes, reducing labor intensity and saving plant
area:
20. (5) It is conducive to the development of computer control and management, and is
conducive to the development of comprehensive automation of machining;
(6) The initial investment and maintenance technology of CNC turret punch presses are
relatively high, and the quality of management and operators is also high.
The CNC turret punching machine better solves the problems of complex shape, high
precision, small production batch, short production cycle and frequent product replacement.
It is a flexible and high-efficiency automatic machine tool. CAI (DNC), flexible
manufacturing system (FMS), computer integrated manufacturing system (CIMS, computer
integrated manufacturing) and other important devices for flexible processing and the basis
of the temperament manufacturing system.
CNC turret punching also has disadvantages. They are: expensive and large initial
investment in equipment; high technical requirements for users and maintenance personnel
due to the integration of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and computer technologies; manual
programming workload when processing complex-shaped parts.

21. HEAT TREATMENT SHOP (HTS)
Different heat treatment operations like- Quenching, Normalising, Case Hardening, Stress
Relieving, Induction Hardening are employed.Low steel or Class-II jobs are first carburised,
i.e., the carbon content is increased on the surface before any heat treatment. The carburizing
temperature is 920-930⁰C.
Stress Relieving is a process of heating up to a lower critical temperature and holding there
for a definite time before slow cooling. It’s purpose is to remove internal stresses.
Example:
a) Eng. Block - 640⁰C/10hrs.
b) Cam Shaft - 450⁰C/4hrs.
Induction Hardening is a process of surface hardening. It works on the principal of mutual
induction; hardening by high frequency AC-current. The conditions are:
a) Voltage – 410-450V
b) Temperature - 840⁰C
c) Quenching Pressure – 14-30psi
d) Quenching Water Temperature – 20-30⁰C
Heat treatment process is defined as:
An operation or combination of operations
Heating and Colling of a metal /alloy in solid state
To obtain desirable
Conditions, e.g., that
of relieve stresses
Properties e.g.
-Better machinability
- Improve ductility
-Homogeneous structure.
22. PURPOSE
a) Cause relief of internal stresses developed during cold working, forging etc.
b) Harden and strengthen metal
c) Improve machinability
d) Change grain size
e) Improve ductility and toughness
f) Increase,heat,wear, and corrosion resistance of material
STAGES OF HEAT TREATMENT
a) Stage l—Heating the metal slowly to ensure a uniform temperature.
b) Stage 2—Soaking (holding) the metal at a given temperature for a given time and
cooling the metal to room temperature.
c) Stage 3—Cooling the metal to room temperature.
Stages of Heat Treatment
23. 2.1.1.Heat Treatment Process:
a) Annealing (815 °C)
b) Normalizing (815 °C)
c) Hardening (815 °C)
d) Tempering (200 °C – 300 °C)
Fig.2.2. Heat Treatment (Phase Diagram)
2.1.2. STEEL COMPOSITION
24. Fig.2.3. Different Structures of Steel
2.1.3. ANNEALING PROCESS
a) Annealing is the opposite of hardening
b) Relieve internal stresses, soften them, make them more ductile, and refine their grain structures.
c) Cooling method depend on the metal. For command use are furnace cooled.
2.1.4. NORMALIZING
a) Metal is heated to a higher temperature and then removed from the furnace for air cooling.
b) Remove the internal stresses induced by heat treating, welding, casting, forging, forming, or
machining.
c) low-carbon steels do not require normalizing (no harmful effects result).
2.1.5. HARDENING
a) In practice, 0.80 % C is required for maximum hardness.
b) When you increase the carbon content beyond 0.80 per cent, there is no increase in hardness, but
there is an increase in wear resistance.
c) This increase in wear resistance is due to the formation of a substance called hard cementite.
2.1.6. TEMPERING
a) The minimum temperature time for tempering should be 1 hour. If the part is more than 1 inch thick,
increase the time by 1 hour for each additional inch of thickness.
b) Tempering relieves quenching stresses and reduces hardness and brittleness.
PIT FURNACE
26. Induction hardening is a method of quickly and selectively hardening the surface of a metal
part. A copper coil carrying a significant level of alternating current is placed near (not
touching) the part. Heat is generated at, and near the surface by eddy current and hysteresis
losses. Quench, usually water-based with an addition such as a polymer, is directed at the
part or it is submerged. This transforms the structure to martensite, which is much harder
than the prior structure.
A popular, modern type of induction hardening equipment is called a scanner. The part is
held between centres, rotated, and passed through a progressive coil which provides both
heat and quench. The quench is directed below the coil, so any given area of the part is
rapidly cooled immediately following heating. Power level, dwell time, scan (feed) rate and
other process variables are precisely controlled by a computer.
Benefits of Induction Hardening
Increased Wear Resistance
There is a direct correlation between hardness and wear resistance. The wear
resistance of a part increases significantly with induction hardening, assuming the
initial state of the material was either annealed, or treated to a softer condition.
Increased Strength & Fatigue Life due to the Soft Core & Residual Compressive Stress at the Surface
The compressive stress (usually considered a positive attribute) is a result of the
hardened structure near the surface occupying slightly more volume than the core
and prior structure.
Parts may be Tempered after Induction Hardening to Adjust
Hardness Level, as desired
As with any process producing a martensitic structure, tempering will lower hardness while
decreasing brittleness.
Deep Case with Tough Core
Typical case depth is .030” - .120” which is deeper on average than processes
such as carburizing, carbonitriding, and various forms of nitriding performed at
sub-critical temperatures. For certain projects such as axels, or parts which are
still useful even after much material has worn away, case depth may be up to ½
inch or greater.

34. CONCLUSION
The Mechanical maintenance is responsible for the running of BLW. It ensures
that the all the machinery and equipment are running at their top performance
level without being affected by failure and break down. Working with the
engineers of the Mechanical maintenance department, I have gained such an
amount of knowledge which would not have been possible in a classroom in a
similar period of time.
Also the practical experience have gained here in BLW, VARANASI gave me
knowledge of to what extent my theoretical knowledge learnt in my college in
applicable in the field. Although the theoretical knowledge forms the base of
practical knowledge required on the field
The field job also requires some different set of skills which I learnt about during
my training.
My skills in Mechanical engineering has definitely been taken to a much higher
level than it was when I first joined the training programme of 4 weeks back and
I truly consider myself highly fortunate to get this opportunity.
