Co-ordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) Machined parts are becoming increasingly complex, with more measurement features and tighter tolerances. Keeping pace with the growing trends, Co-ordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) today have replaced traditional methods of inspection with gauges and fixtures, which in-turn has reduced inspection time and manpower required. demonstrations which kept the participants engaged and involved throughout the session. Streamlining Tool Rooms However, understanding and implementing the same in an ideal manner would bring major impact on the productivity of the company. Addressing this matter, a seminar on Getting the best out of Co-ordinate Measuring Machines was organized on 18 and 19 April 2011 in Pune. The seminar was focused at guiding the participants towards the less understood aspects like process control and quality assurance which increasingly depend on the performance of CMMs. A strong foundation of any process guarantees a long term return, and same holds true even in the function of tool rooms. The process planning, scheduling and working systems of tool rooms is a subject which is overlooked and fine tuning the same will reflect in its productivity. Keeping this in view, a training programme on Improving effectiveness of process planning, scheduling and working systems in tool rooms was organized on 25 April 2011 in Pune. As there exists a mismatch between orders and capacity, tool rooms are also looking for cost effective solutions to reduce the lead times. The optimum utilization Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) system eliminates ambiguities in engineering drawings and brings out the designer’s intent very clearly. It ensures seamless communication between design, engineering, manufacturing and quality teams across the entire organization enabling them to work in a concurrent engineering environment. Application of GD&T system helps the companies to reduce the manufacturing and inspection costs. A training programme on Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing in Design through Manufacturing was organized from 18 to 20 April 2011 in Pune. The training session was supported with examples, exercises and of all the resources depends largely on the knowledge and skill level of the planning engineers. The training session piloted by industry experts ensured that the engineers were trained rightly. 18
Workholding and Fixturing Techniques Workholding & Fixturing plays a crucial role in enhancing productivity in manufacturing. Optimum fixturing and tooling can substantially enhance the capability of CNC machines. Reduction in set-up change is a challenge most manufacturers face and this is directly related to quality of fixturing. Keeping this in view, a workshop on Workholding and Fixturing Techniques for Productivity Improvement on CNC Machines was organized on 29 and 30 April 2011 at Pune. The workshop was very well received by all the participants and was highly interactive in nature. Technology Mission to China & CIMT 2011 As part of the project on ‘Technology Upgrading and Productivity Enhancement of the Machine Tool Industry in India’, UNIDO-ICAMT and IMTMA organised a “Technology Mission to China and CIMT 2011” from 14 to 19 April 2011 in Beijing, PR of China. The Mission consisted of a threeday visit to CIMT 2011 which showcased 2,400 exhibitors from all over the world. The exhibition was spread across an area of 1,20,000 square meters and attracted 2,32,000 visitors from China and the world over. The schedule of the Mission included interactive meeting and plant visits to three Chinese machine tool companies – two in Tianjin and one in Beijing. Key aspect of the “Technology Mission” was the two interactive meetings with senior government officials of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and office-bearers of the China Machine Tool and Tool Builders’ Association (CMTBA). 19
