Chapter 3 : Manufacturing
Division (MFD)
INTRODUTION
14
This is the main division and probably can be called as heart of
the company. This Caters to the needs of all other divisions. In
other words, it satisfies the needs of the internal customers by
supplying the individual jobs which then be assembled in the
respective division.
CLASSIFICATION
In order to identify and to carry out the operations depending on
the difficulties involved in handling etc., MFD is Classified into
three cells.
CELL 1:
This is also know as heavy part cell. Some of the machines
coming under this cell are:
Waldrich Siegen, Waldrich Coburg, TMC 800, TMC 1250, Noble
and Lund, HMT Radial Drilling machine, etc.
CELL 2:
This is also known as medium part cell. Some of the
machines Under this are TMC 500, SIP, Nissin, VMC 500, etc.
CELL 3:
This is also known as small part section. Some of the
machines coming under this cells are:
Lathe, Milling machines, Grinding machines, etc.
HOW DOES MANUFACTURING DIVISION WORK?
As manufacturing division follows ISP rules, there is a proper
sequence in which it works and can be given as below:
i. Engineering Method
ii. Material Planning
iii. Manufacturing
15
iv. Quality Assurance
1.Engineering Method:
When MFD takes up an assignment from the internal
customer, it has to be given a component manufacturing
order number (CMO no.) in addition to the work order
number which is already entitled by the concerned division
and this work order number indicates the external customer
to whom the job belongs. The main purpose of giving CMO no.
is to identify the division to division from which order is
taken. It also indicates the demand for that particular job.
The CMO no. for the following division are:
For MCD - ‘2’ for regular items
For SMD – ‘3’ for regular items
For CMD – ‘5’ for regular items
Each Component which is used for the manufacturing of the part
is given a communication part number.
Example : A simple communication part no. would look like –
‘32002422’
The order also contains the quality required, time to be taken for
manufacture and the cell to be used to manufacture.
Concept of Process Sheet:
Process sheet is the written format of the component drawing are
really a complicated one for the operations to understand, so a
written format of the actual drawing helps the operator to perform
the operation in a particular manner without any spoilage of the
work.
16
The contents present in the process are as follows:
I. Raw material:
There is a particular coding for each raw material and
they are indicated in the process sheet, so that operator
can get the same material as mentioned by engineer in
the form of coding on the process sheet.
Examples: Low carbon steel has a coding as C2, High
carbon steel has a coding as C1, Tool steel has a coding
as T1, Nitriding steel has a coding as N1.
SEQUENCE OF PROCESS
The manufacturing of a component involves various operation
such as turning, drilling, tapper turning, taper boring, boring,
milling, grinding etc., these operations are called as machining
processes. The particular sequence of process must be followed in
order to get the component as given by the drawing. The
operation. This sequence of processes is mentioned in the process
sheet as shown below;
a.) Serial no. – it is the increasing order starting from
initial operation till the final operation.
b.) Machine no. – the particular machine, which has to
be used to carry out the process.
c.) Description of operation – this involves the way in
which the operation has to be done and even the
type of surface finish required is also defined.
Duration of operation, the approximate time which could be
utilized for the particular operation is also mentioned in the
process sheet. Usually duration of operation involves only two
parts, setup time and operation time.
Sometimes it may be needed to use special tool to obtain
complicated shapes as indicated in the drawing and this has to be
mentioned in the process sheet, so that operator will not be in
dilemma about the way to obtain the particular shape.

The proper planning of material storage and even handling is
very important in any organization. The material handling
engineer has to take care of the materials and even has to
analyze the requirement of materials before purchase.
After engineering analysis, the order is placed at material
management section of MFD. The engineer has to decide
about the procurement of the material such as bar stocks,
casting, weldaments and other components as per the
specification in the process sheet. If there is any shortage of
material, it is needed to be informed and proper step must be
taken to replace it. The raw material for the bed, Knee,
column, spindle etc., is castings which are done in the
company’s foundry, if its weight is less than 1 ton otherwise
order is given to outside sub-contactor.
For storing of standards parts used in manufacturing, there
is a separate store room, where the components are kept in a
systematic manner based on communication part number.
This is done according to the specification of ISO 9001, which
says that the right things at right place is the key of
successful implementation of ISO 9001.

The material planning is then followed by the manufacturing
process. The process sheet along with the procured materials
is then passed to the machining cell where process on the
materials are carried out as explained in the process sheet.
The inspection of the job in between the processes may even
be carried out as mentioned in the process sheet.
The manufacturing division has a ‘tool crib’ from where the
various tools are issued as required for the operation. The
tools are arranged in a particular format and bins are
provided for smaller tools and larger tools are placed in
convenient places.
The ‘tool crib’ follows ISO9001 rules strictly and if there is
any tool spoilage then it has to be taken in writing from the
operator who has been working on with that tool.
There is a store for issuing smaller parts like screws, nuts,
bolts, gears, etc., that is of minimum use in case of
manufacturing division, since no assembly work is carried
out in this division. The final product after passing through
the mentioned machines, performing various operations on it,
is then given for panting.
 MARKING OUT:
Marking out or layout is the process of transferring a design
or pattern to a work piece according to given drawing, as the
first step in manufacturing process.
Marking out consist of transferring the dimension from the
drawing to the work piece in preparation for the next setup,
machining or manufacture.
Typical tools include;
 Surface plate or Marking out table: Provides a true
horizontal flat surface on which work piece can be
supported.
25
 Angle Plates: Assists in holding the work piece
perpendicular to the table.
 Scriber: It is equivalent of a pen or pencil, it literally
scratches the metal surface leaving behind a fine, bright
line.
 Height Gauge or Scriber block: Allows lines to be
scribed at a preset distance from the work table surface.
 Surface Gage: An ungraduated comparison measuring
tool that performs much the same function as the vernier
height gage. It is often used in conjunction with a dial
indicator and a precision height gage.
 MACHINING:
Machining is any of various processes in which a piece of raw
material is cut into a desired final shape and sized by a
controlled material-removal process. The many processes that
have this common theme, controlled material removal, are
today collectively known as subtractive manufacturing, in
distinction from processes of controlled material addition,
which are known as additive manufacturing. Exactly what the
“controlled” part of the definition implies can vary, but it
almost implies the use of machine tools (in addition to just
power tools and hand tools).
 Types of Machining Operation:
There are many kind of machining operations, each of which
is capable of generating a certain part geometry and surfaces
texture.
In turning, a cutting tool with a single edge is used to remove
material from a rotating work piece to generate a cylindrical
shape. The speed motion is provided by rotating the work
piece and the feed motion is achieved by moving the cutting
tool slowly in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation if the
work piece and depth of cut is given my moving cutting tool in
direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the work
piece.
26
Drilling is used to create a round hole. It is accomplished by a
rotating tool that typically has two or four helical cutting
edges. The tool is fed in a direction parallel to the axis of
rotation of tool into the work piece to form the round hole.
In boring, a tool with a single bent pointed tip advanced into a
roughly made hole in a spinning work piece to slightly enlarge
the hole and improve its accuracy, It is a fine finishing
operation used in the final stages of product manufacture.
In milling, a rotating tool with multiple cutting edges is moved
slowly relative to the material to generate a plane or straight
surface. The direction of the feed motion is perpendicular to
the tool’s axis of rotation. The speed motion is provided by the
rotating milling cutter. The two forms of milling are:
I. Peripheral Milling
II. Face Milling
Other conventional machining operation include shaping,
planning, broaching and sawing. Also, grinding and similar
abrasive operation are often included within the category of
machining.
 HEAT TREATMENT:
Heat treatment is the process of heating and cooling metals to
achieve desired physical and mechanical properties through
modification of their crystalline structure. The temperature,
length of time, and rate of cooling after heat treatment will all
impact properties dramatically. The most common reason to
heat treatment include increasing strength or hardness,
increasing toughness, improving ductility and maximizing
corrosion resistance.
27
 INDUTION HARDENING:
Scope: Applicable to heat treatment of parts/components
manufactured from raw materials.
Procedure:
i. Choose the suitable inductor coil that has an inside
diameter 4-6 mm more than outside diameter of the part
to be heat treated.
ii. Make sure that the axial length of the indicator is equal
to the length of the portion to be heat treated or the coil
can be moved to the required length of hardening.
iii. Set the voltage, power rating and time suitable for the
choose inductor coil. Also set the feed rate of the coil,
water flow for quenching in case of moving coil.
iv. Place a setting piece inside the coil and switch on.
v. At the end of the cycle allow the part to fall into water
bath for quenching.
vi. Check the setting piece for establishing the process
parameters.
vii. Place the parts to be heat treated in the inductor coil and
follow the above steps.
viii. Check hardness.
ix. Note down the process parameters set for the above
process for that material.
28
 GAS CARBURISING & ANNEALING:
Scope: Applicable to heat treatment of case hardened parts/
components manufactured out of raw material having C2M,
C2R codes.
Procedure:
i. Load the parts in the gas carburizing furnace.
ii. Raise the temperature to the preheat limit of 550 ºC,
gradually at 4 to 5ºC per hour and ensure that the gas
shield is maintained in the furnace.
iii. After the pre heat temperature is stabilized, raise the
temperature to 915 ºC and gradually at 90ºC per hour.
iv. Soak it at this temperature for the required hours based
on the required case depth (refer chart 1 given below).
v. At the end of the period, allow to defuse for and required
hours based on the case depth(refer given chart 2 below).
vi. Allow the part to cool down in the furnace by switching
off the furnace.

 Flame Hardening:
Scope: Applicable to heat treatment of
parts/components manufactured from raw material
codes C1, C3R, EN9.
Procedure:
i. Fix the part to be flame hardened on a suitable
fixture suitable for traversing the portion to be
flame hardened below the torch. The torch (burner)
shall have holes for inlet/outlet of water for
quenching.
ii. Set the gap between the portion to be hardened
and the burner to 8-10 mm.
iii. Set the pressure for oxygen at 5 kg/sq.cm. and
that for acetylene at 3 kg/sq.cm.
iv. Set the feed rate at 0.8 mm/sec.
v. The flame is moved at the above rate over the
component and water jet which follows the flame
quench the item.
vi. Check the hardness at random and make sure
that it is within the specified limits.
30
vii. If the material has not responded, redo the flame
hardening cycle.
 Stress Relieving:
Scope: This is applicable to both welded and casting
structure.
Procedure:
i. Suitable structure is taken for stress relieving.
ii. The residual stresses are measured before stress
relieving from sample structure and the value is
noted.
iii. Stress relieving treatment as per standard n.
B7600/B7601 (as applicable to casting/welments)
is imparted on this structure.
iv. After stress relieving, the sample structure is
taken for residual stress measurement. The value
of the residual stresses should be in the order or
80-90% for qualifying the stress relieving process.
v. The structure is machined and one particular
dimension is identified for measurement over a
period of 90 days at an interval of 30 days. If the
dimension are within the tolerance given in the
drawing of the sample structure for the identified
dimension, the procedure for qualifying the stress
relieving is accepted.
31
4. PAINTING:
Painting is common for all the departments. It is
placed with in the MFD but at a suitable location to
which the transportation of job from various
departments may not be in a problem. Painting of the
job as per customer specification is done and then
passed on to the processes. In painting section, spray-
painting technique is used. During spray painting, the
tiny particles of paint in the form of jet is ejected from
the gun which impacts on the job which has to be
painted. There is a high possibility of these tiny
particles spilling out to the atmosphere, which is
hazardous to worker in this section. In order to avoid
this, the updraft and lower draft is provided through
which the continuous water circulation is maintained
and this absorb the paint particles from the
atmosphere, thereby providing a safe working
condition.
32
5.QUALITY ASSURANCE:
Since BFW limited is an ISO 9001 company, prime
importance is given to quality assurance. The division has a
high tech dimension checking room and standards room.
These two rooms are maintained at particular temperature so
that measurement can be made accurately and calibration
can also be done to maximum perfection.
The common instruments used by QA department of MFD
are:
i. Sine bar: They are used to measure angle and
tapers. The slip gauges are made use of in this
process and accuracy obtained in this method is
0.001µ.
ii. Dial Indicator: the plunger type dial indicators are
used and accuracy up to 10µ can be obtained.
iii. Trimos Calibration: This is used to check the
squareness, coaxiality of bores and bore sizes. It is
also used to measure vertical heights. The accuracy
of measurement is up to 5µ.
iv. Internal Micrometer: The range is 70-80 mm and
least count of the micrometer is 0.005 mm.
v. Comparators: These are used for checking the
components at a faster rate in mass production. The
accuracy of the comparator is 1 µm.

    14 This is themain division and probably can be called as heart of the company. This Caters to the needs of all other divisions. In other words, it satisfies the needs of the internal customers by supplying the individual jobs which then be assembled in the respective division. CLASSIFICATION In order to identify and to carry out the operations depending on the difficulties involved in handling etc., MFD is Classified into three cells. CELL 1: This is also know as heavy part cell. Some of the machines coming under this cell are: Waldrich Siegen, Waldrich Coburg, TMC 800, TMC 1250, Noble and Lund, HMT Radial Drilling machine, etc. CELL 2: This is also known as medium part cell. Some of the machines Under this are TMC 500, SIP, Nissin, VMC 500, etc. CELL 3: This is also known as small part section. Some of the machines coming under this cells are: Lathe, Milling machines, Grinding machines, etc. HOW DOES MANUFACTURING DIVISION WORK? As manufacturing division follows ISP rules, there is a proper sequence in which it works and can be given as below: i. Engineering Method ii. Material Planning iii. Manufacturing
  • 15.
    15 iv. Quality Assurance 1.EngineeringMethod: When MFD takes up an assignment from the internal customer, it has to be given a component manufacturing order number (CMO no.) in addition to the work order number which is already entitled by the concerned division and this work order number indicates the external customer to whom the job belongs. The main purpose of giving CMO no. is to identify the division to division from which order is taken. It also indicates the demand for that particular job. The CMO no. for the following division are: For MCD - ‘2’ for regular items For SMD – ‘3’ for regular items For CMD – ‘5’ for regular items Each Component which is used for the manufacturing of the part is given a communication part number. Example : A simple communication part no. would look like – ‘32002422’ The order also contains the quality required, time to be taken for manufacture and the cell to be used to manufacture. Concept of Process Sheet: Process sheet is the written format of the component drawing are really a complicated one for the operations to understand, so a written format of the actual drawing helps the operator to perform the operation in a particular manner without any spoilage of the work.
  • 16.
    16 The contents presentin the process are as follows: I. Raw material: There is a particular coding for each raw material and they are indicated in the process sheet, so that operator can get the same material as mentioned by engineer in the form of coding on the process sheet. Examples: Low carbon steel has a coding as C2, High carbon steel has a coding as C1, Tool steel has a coding as T1, Nitriding steel has a coding as N1. SEQUENCE OF PROCESS The manufacturing of a component involves various operation such as turning, drilling, tapper turning, taper boring, boring, milling, grinding etc., these operations are called as machining processes. The particular sequence of process must be followed in order to get the component as given by the drawing. The operation. This sequence of processes is mentioned in the process sheet as shown below; a.) Serial no. – it is the increasing order starting from initial operation till the final operation. b.) Machine no. – the particular machine, which has to be used to carry out the process. c.) Description of operation – this involves the way in which the operation has to be done and even the type of surface finish required is also defined. Duration of operation, the approximate time which could be utilized for the particular operation is also mentioned in the process sheet. Usually duration of operation involves only two parts, setup time and operation time. Sometimes it may be needed to use special tool to obtain complicated shapes as indicated in the drawing and this has to be mentioned in the process sheet, so that operator will not be in dilemma about the way to obtain the particular shape.

    20 The proper planningof material storage and even handling is very important in any organization. The material handling engineer has to take care of the materials and even has to analyze the requirement of materials before purchase. After engineering analysis, the order is placed at material management section of MFD. The engineer has to decide about the procurement of the material such as bar stocks, casting, weldaments and other components as per the specification in the process sheet. If there is any shortage of material, it is needed to be informed and proper step must be taken to replace it. The raw material for the bed, Knee, column, spindle etc., is castings which are done in the company’s foundry, if its weight is less than 1 ton otherwise order is given to outside sub-contactor. For storing of standards parts used in manufacturing, there is a separate store room, where the components are kept in a systematic manner based on communication part number. This is done according to the specification of ISO 9001, which says that the right things at right place is the key of successful implementation of ISO 9001.

    24 The material planningis then followed by the manufacturing process. The process sheet along with the procured materials is then passed to the machining cell where process on the materials are carried out as explained in the process sheet. The inspection of the job in between the processes may even be carried out as mentioned in the process sheet. The manufacturing division has a ‘tool crib’ from where the various tools are issued as required for the operation. The tools are arranged in a particular format and bins are provided for smaller tools and larger tools are placed in convenient places. The ‘tool crib’ follows ISO9001 rules strictly and if there is any tool spoilage then it has to be taken in writing from the operator who has been working on with that tool. There is a store for issuing smaller parts like screws, nuts, bolts, gears, etc., that is of minimum use in case of manufacturing division, since no assembly work is carried out in this division. The final product after passing through the mentioned machines, performing various operations on it, is then given for panting.  MARKING OUT: Marking out or layout is the process of transferring a design or pattern to a work piece according to given drawing, as the first step in manufacturing process. Marking out consist of transferring the dimension from the drawing to the work piece in preparation for the next setup, machining or manufacture. Typical tools include;  Surface plate or Marking out table: Provides a true horizontal flat surface on which work piece can be supported.
  • 25.
    25  Angle Plates:Assists in holding the work piece perpendicular to the table.  Scriber: It is equivalent of a pen or pencil, it literally scratches the metal surface leaving behind a fine, bright line.  Height Gauge or Scriber block: Allows lines to be scribed at a preset distance from the work table surface.  Surface Gage: An ungraduated comparison measuring tool that performs much the same function as the vernier height gage. It is often used in conjunction with a dial indicator and a precision height gage.  MACHINING: Machining is any of various processes in which a piece of raw material is cut into a desired final shape and sized by a controlled material-removal process. The many processes that have this common theme, controlled material removal, are today collectively known as subtractive manufacturing, in distinction from processes of controlled material addition, which are known as additive manufacturing. Exactly what the “controlled” part of the definition implies can vary, but it almost implies the use of machine tools (in addition to just power tools and hand tools).  Types of Machining Operation: There are many kind of machining operations, each of which is capable of generating a certain part geometry and surfaces texture. In turning, a cutting tool with a single edge is used to remove material from a rotating work piece to generate a cylindrical shape. The speed motion is provided by rotating the work piece and the feed motion is achieved by moving the cutting tool slowly in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation if the work piece and depth of cut is given my moving cutting tool in direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the work piece.
  • 26.
    26 Drilling is usedto create a round hole. It is accomplished by a rotating tool that typically has two or four helical cutting edges. The tool is fed in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of tool into the work piece to form the round hole. In boring, a tool with a single bent pointed tip advanced into a roughly made hole in a spinning work piece to slightly enlarge the hole and improve its accuracy, It is a fine finishing operation used in the final stages of product manufacture. In milling, a rotating tool with multiple cutting edges is moved slowly relative to the material to generate a plane or straight surface. The direction of the feed motion is perpendicular to the tool’s axis of rotation. The speed motion is provided by the rotating milling cutter. The two forms of milling are: I. Peripheral Milling II. Face Milling Other conventional machining operation include shaping, planning, broaching and sawing. Also, grinding and similar abrasive operation are often included within the category of machining.  HEAT TREATMENT: Heat treatment is the process of heating and cooling metals to achieve desired physical and mechanical properties through modification of their crystalline structure. The temperature, length of time, and rate of cooling after heat treatment will all impact properties dramatically. The most common reason to heat treatment include increasing strength or hardness, increasing toughness, improving ductility and maximizing corrosion resistance.

    31 4. PAINTING: Painting iscommon for all the departments. It is placed with in the MFD but at a suitable location to which the transportation of job from various departments may not be in a problem. Painting of the job as per customer specification is done and then passed on to the processes. In painting section, spray- painting technique is used. During spray painting, the tiny particles of paint in the form of jet is ejected from the gun which impacts on the job which has to be painted. There is a high possibility of these tiny particles spilling out to the atmosphere, which is hazardous to worker in this section. In order to avoid this, the updraft and lower draft is provided through which the continuous water circulation is maintained and this absorb the paint particles from the atmosphere, thereby providing a safe working condition.
