FRAME ASSEMBLY
There are several steps involved in frame assembly. They are as follows:
The side members and engine mounting are lifted using conveyor.
Assemble all cross members, steering mounting bracket, air cooler mounting
bracket and rear spring brackets.
On rear end of the frame, both sides are aligned with taper pin.
Cross members are tightened well. Fit and tight FS and BKTS on both sides
with dummy bolts.
Reaming process is done in the next step and the dummy bolts are removed.
Torque tightening in the rear brackets using M14 bolts on both sides.
Front and rear ends are fixed with four cab mountings.
Tighten the CB cross members using brake elbow adaptors.
Tilt the frame by 180o using tilting CUM lifting equipment.
Punch frame Sl. No. and spec on rear end of RH FSM.
Air blow the reamed burrs in assembled frame.

 Lift and unload the assembled frame from conveyor on to trolley using
tilting CUM lifting equipment.
Finally, the whole frame is carried to chassis assembly centre.

SHOP IV

The shop IV is classified into two departments. They are given below:
o

Rear axle assembly.

Front axle assembly.

REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY

The rear axle assembly consists of several stages. They are shown below:
Load rear axle casing on pedestals and remove wire strip, axle shafts.
Assemble dust covers on brake shoes and tighten with bolts and nuts.
Apply torque on mounting nuts.
Assemble inner ring for oil seal.
Distance piece is fixed to align the outer and inner wheel bearings in the
same axis.
Fix the wheel drum.
Punch the Sl. No. on the rear axle.

Unload rear axle from conveyor and it is taken to the chassis assembly
centre.

FRONT AXLE ASSEMBLY

The front axle assembly consists of several stages. They are discussed below:

First, the axle beam is loaded at conveyor belt.

The number is punched in the axle beam.
Next, the axle arm is fixed to beam of steering with pin fin and cotter pin
using dummy bolts.
The tracking rod is fixed for the alignment of wheel. This will helps the left
side of the tyre to turn along with the right side wheel.
Fix the air chamber and brake shoe.
Fix the hub and lock set using axle arm.
Fix the wheel drum to the both ends of axle arm.
Unload front axle from the conveyor and it is taken to the chassis assembly.

CHASSIS ASSEMBLY

The chassis assembly consists of 14 stages. They are discussed below:

In stage- 1, the front and rear axle is fixed on the main frame which is
already fabricated from shop 3.
In stage- 2, the frame assembly is placed on the conveyor belt, and then
brake chamber is fitted into it.
In stage- 3, the steering gear box is fitted to the main frame.
In stage- 4, the propeller shaft is connected into the gear box flange. This
propeller shaft is also coupled with universal joint.
In stage-5, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is punched into the
frame.
In stage- 6, the silencer tank is fixed into the main frame.
In stage- 7, the air tank and fuel tank is fixed at the rear end.
In stage- 8, the engine is mounted on the frame.

 In stage- 9, the radiator is fixed at the front end of engine.

In stage- 10, the lever, fuel filter and accelerator assembly is linked with the
engine.
In stage- 11, the tyres for the wheels are fitted to the wheel drum.

In stage- 12, the battery box and cross bumpers are fitted.
In stage-13, the diesel is filled into the fuel tank.
Finally, the vehicle is taken to another unit for checking its performance.

SHOP II

In this shop, the components used for engine assembly may be manufactured
from this department. The facing and centering of the valves are also done in this
shop. The parts that are manufactured from this shop are as follows:
Cylinder head
Camshaft
Connecting rod
Piston
Con rod bolt
Crankcase
Spiral gear
Compound gear

For the preparation of con rod bolt, the workpiece is fitted in the multi spindle
lathe and the following processes will be done.
Head forming
Step turning
Chamfering

Eccentric turning
Facing
In the camshaft, the processes like taping, drilling, milling, grinding, tempering,
checking hardness are done in this shop II. The gear hobbing is also done with the
help of gear hobbing machine, after that the oil hole drilling may proceeds. The
journal bearing grindings and the cam grindings are done here. The flywheel
housing is tested and fitted at engine case. Finally, the parts are taken to another
department for assemble.
