 MARKETING

BEML has an all India based effective marketing network that provides
customer with immediate access to BEML’s wide range of products and services.
The customer releases the tender in through media. There is a certain amount of
time given for all the participants to indicate their participation along with their
quotations. Among these participants it is checked whether they have the technical
capabilities to manufacture the product. The second fact taken into consideration is
whether they can deliver the product within the specified time. Failure to deliver the
product within the stipulated time and will result in penalty.
Once the tender is announced the marketing department of beml will have to
pay some amount to obtain “engineering requirements: technical specifications”
which will be studied by team of members from different departments. Further they
will assess themselves to see if the customer requirements can be met by the company.

Measuring Instruments:

Profile Projector

A profile projector is a device that applies the principles of optics to the

inspection of manufactured parts. In a comparator, the magnified silhouette of a part is
projected upon the screen, and the dimensions and geometry of the part are measured
against prescribed limits. It is a useful item in a small parts machine shop or
production line for the quality control inspection team. The projector magnifies the
profile of the specimen, and displays this on the built-in projection screen. On this
screen there is typically a grid that can be rotated 360 degrees so the X-Y axis of the
screen can be aligned with a straight edge of the machined part to examine or
measure. This projection screen displays the profile of the specimen and is magnified
for better ease of calculating linear measurements.

21 | P a g e
Vernier Callipers

The Vernier calliper is an extremely precise measuring instrument; it is used to

measure internal and external distances extremely accurately – the error may be as
little as 0.05 mm – depending on the make. The Vernier is a small movable graduated
scale for obtaining fractional parts of subdivisions on a fixed main scale of any
measuring instrument. With a normal scale we may be able to measure down to 0.50
mm or so, while with a Vernier scale the least count may be 0.10 mm.

Micro meter

Micro meter, in full micro meter calliper, instrument for making precise linear
measurements of dimensions such as diameters, thicknesses, and lengths of solid
bodies; it consists of a C-shaped frame with a movable jaw operated by an integral
screw. The fineness of the measurement that can be made depends on the lead of the
screw—i.e., the amount the spindle moves toward or away from the anvil in one
revolution and the means provided for indicating fractional parts of a revolution. The
accuracy of the measurements depends on the accuracy of the screw-nut combination.

Feeler Gauge

22 | P a g e
 A feeler gauge is a tool used to measure gap widths. Feeler gauges are mostly
used in engineering to measure the clearance between two parts. [They consist of a
number of small lengths of steel of different thicknesses with measurements marked
on each piece. They are flexible enough that, even if they are all on the same hinge,
several can be stacked together to gauge intermediate values. It is common to have
two sets for imperial units and metric measurements

Thread Pitch Gauge

A thread plug gage is used to check acceptance of a “nut”, (an internally

threaded part). For small threaded parts, the gage will be double ended, with one end
carrying the GO gage and the other end, the NOGO. For larger parts, the two may be
separate pieces. A thread plug gage is designed to check the pitch diameter (to the
given pitch / Threads per inch). In order for the part to pass inspection and be
accepted, the GO gage should pass through the entire length of the nut, without
requiring the use of too much rotational force. The NOGO gage can at the best enter
into the nut, checked at both ends, over not more than 2 turns. It should not go beyond
this.

Slip Gauge

23 | P a g e
 Slip gauges are a system for producing precision lengths. The individual gauge
block is a metal or ceramic block that has been precision ground and lapped to a
specific thickness. Slip gauge come in sets of blocks with a range of standard lengths.
In use, the blocks are stacked to make up a desired length. An important feature of
gauge blocks is that they can be joined together with very little dimensional
uncertainty. The blocks are joined by a sliding process called wringing, which causes
their ultra-flat surfaces to cling together. A small number of gauge blocks can be used
to create accurate lengths within a wide range.

MATERIAL PREPARATION

25 | P a g e
 Material preparation section is the primary division where the manufacturing of
a metro or any other rail coach begins. This division mainly concerns about the
manufacturing of various accessories required to build the given coach. It consists of
various machines as follows:

 Optical tracer flame cutting machines

 CNC Flame cutting machine
 Shot blasting machine for (Rolled section & Plates)
 Shearing M/C to 30 mm capacity with inbuilt Bevelling for weld joints

OPTICAL FLAME CUTTING MACHINE

Optical Profile Cutting Machine-Gas/ Plasma is a modem co-ordinates

gasprofile cutting machine with photoelectric control. The machine is specially
developed for use in small and medium size workshop. The machine is designed for
high accuracy in cutting. There is no need of metal templates. The state-of-the-art
photoelectric tracer (ratio 1:1) can follow templates silhouettes or line drawn with a
minimum line width of 0.8 mm. The machine can be equipped with four manual or
motorised machine cutting torches thus making it suitable or either for one of batch
production of mass production.

SHOT BLASTING MACHINE

Shot blasting is a method used to clean, strengthen (peen) or polish metal. Shot
blasting is used in almost every industry that uses metal, including aerospace,
automotive, construction, foundry, shipbuilding, rail, and many others.

Shearing machine and CNC cutting machines are explained in sheet metal
section.

TOOL ROOM
As the name suggests this division plays a major role in the preparation of
tools, jigs and fixtures required for the manufacturing process. It is one of the most
important part of any manufacturing firm. Absence of this division results in a
situation in which we have to in-source all the required tools and fixtures from other
organisations. This is an expensive and less flexible process wherein we have to adjust
to the standards of that particular organisation. Possessing our own tool room
facilitates us to create whatever tools and fixtures e require according to our drawings.

The tool room consists of various machines for this purpose, namely:
 Lathe
 Drilling machine
 Milling machine

26 | P a g e
 MACHINE SHOP
The place where all the raw materials are cut according to the drawings of
various sub-assembly parts is called as the machine shop. The primary process of the
actual production begins from this shop floor.

It consists of various machines which are listed in detail below:

1. LATHE
A lathe Is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to
perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation,
facing, and turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object
with symmetry about that axis.
There are many types of lathes, here in BEML we particularly have manually
controlled and CNC controlled lathes and also turret lathes for multiple tool
accommodation.

CNC Lathe

27 | P a g e
 Manual Lathe

2. DRILLING MACHINE
Drilling machine can be defined as a machine which makes a circular hole in
the job by removing volume of the metal from it with the help of a cutting tool called
drill bit. When drilling is performed by the drilling machine the drill bit i.e. the cutting
tool is rotated along its own axis into the job.

There are many different types or configurations of drilling machines, but most
drilling machines will fall into four broad categories: upright sensitive, upright, radial,
and special purpose.

3. SHAPER

28 | P a g e
 A shaper is a type of machine tool that uses linear relative motion between the
workpiece and a single-point cutting tool to machine a linear toolpath. Its cut is
analogous to that of a lathe, except that it is (archetypally) linear instead of helical.

A metalworking shaper is somewhat analogous to a metalworking planer, with

the cutter riding a ram that moves relative to a stationary workpiece, rather than the
workpiece moving beneath the cutter. The ram is typically actuated by a mechanical
crank inside the column, though hydraulically actuated shapers are increasingly used.
Adding axes of motion to a shaper can yield helical toolpaths, has also done in helical
planing.

A single point cutting tool is rigidly held in the tool holder, which is mounted
on the ram. The work piece is rigidly held in a vice or clamped directly on the table.
The table may be supported at the outer end. The ram reciprocates and thus cutting
tool held in tool holder moves forwards and backwards over the work piece. In a
standard shaper, cutting of material takes place during the forward stroke of the ram
the backward stroke remains idle.

4. PLANER
A planer is a type of metalworking machine tool that uses linear relative
motion between the workpiece and a single-point cutting tool to cut the work piece. A
planer is similar to a shaper, but larger, and with workpiece moving, whereas in a
shaper the cutting tool moves.

5. MILLING MACHINE
Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by
advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done varying direction on one or

29 | P a g e
several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. Milling covers a wide variety of
different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large,
heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most commonly used processes
for machining custom parts to precise tolerances.

6. GRINDING MACHINE
A grindingmachine, often shortened to grinder, is one of power tools
or machine tools used for grinding, it is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel
as the cutting tool. Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip
from the workpiece via shear deformation.

30 | P a g e
The main types of precision grinders are:
 Cylindrical grinding machines.
 Internal grinding machines.
 Surface grinding machines.
 Tool and cutter grinding machines.
 Special grinding machines.

7. HONING MACHINE
Honing is an abrasive machining process that produces a precision surface on a
metal workpiece by scrubbing an abrasive stone against it along a controlled path. ...
In terms of sharpening knives, a honing steel does not actually hone knives, but
simply realigns the metal along the edge.

In the honing operation, a rotating tool carrying abrasives removes metal from
the interior surface of a bore or cylinder. The main purpose is to finish the surface to a
particular diameter and geometric cylindricity.

8. PUNCH PRESS MACHINE

A punch press is a type of machine press used to cut holes in material. It can be
small and manually operated and hold one simple die set, or be very large, CNC
operated, with a multi-station turret and hold a much larger and complex die set.
Punch presses are large machines with either a 'C' type frame, or a 'portal'
(bridge) type frame. The C type has the hydraulic ram at the top foremost part,
whereas the portal frame is much akin to a complete circle with the ram being
centered within the frame to stop frame deflection or distortion.

10. BAND SAW CUTTING MACHINE
A bandsaw (also written band saw) is a power saw with a long, sharp blade
consisting of a continuous band of toothed metal stretched between two or more
wheels to cut material. They are used principally in woodworking, metalworking, and
lumbering, but may cut a variety of materials. Advantages include uniform cutting
action as a result of an evenly distributed tooth load, and the ability to cut irregular or
curved shapes like a jigsaw.The minimum radius of a curve is determined by the
width of the band and its kerf. Most bandsaws have two wheels rotating in the same
plane, one of which is powered, although some may have three or four to distribute
the load. The blade itself can come in a variety of sizes and tooth pitches (teeth per
inch, or TPI), which enables the machine to be highly versatile and able to cut a wide
variety of materials including wood, metal and plastic.
Almost all bandsaws today are powered by an electric motor. Line shaft
versions were once common but are now antiques.

SHEET METAL

33 | P a g e
 Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms of material used in metal working
processes and it can be cut and bent into variety of shapes. The entire structure of the
metro car body including the mainframes, supporting structures, outer skin, etc. are
made by shaping the sheet metal into various shapes.
The main material of the sheet metal being used in metro is stainless steel (SS) of
various grades namely, SUS301L.
In order to shape the raw sheet according to the design various machines are
used.
They are as follows:
 Shearing machine
 Laser cutting machine
 Straightening machine
 Forming machine
 Press brake
 Punch press machine

1. SHEARING MACHINE

Shearing, also known as die cutting, is a process which cuts stock without the
formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. Strictly speaking, if the cutting
blades are straight the process is called shearing; if the cutting blades are curved then
they are shearing-type operations.

Sheet Metal Cutting (Shearing) Cutting processes are those in which a piece of
sheet metal is separated by applying a great enough force to cause the material to fail.
The most common cutting processes are performed by applying a shearing force, and
are therefore sometimes referred to as shearing processes.

2. LASER CUTTING MACHINE

34 | P a g e
 Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, and is typically
used for industrial manufacturing applications, but is also starting to be used by
schools, small businesses, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output
of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The [laser optics] and CNC
(computer numerical control) are used to direct the material or the laser beam
generated. A commercial laser for cutting materials involved a motion control system
to follow a CNC or G-code of the pattern to be cut onto the material. The focused
laser beam is directed at the material, which then either melts, burns, vaporizes away,
or is blown away by a jet of gas,[1] leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish.
Industrial laser cutters are used to cut flat-sheet material as well as structural and
piping materials.
There are three main types of lasers used in laser cutting. The CO2 laser is suited for
cutting, boring, and engraving. The neodymium (Nd) and neodymium yttrium-
aluminium-garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers are identical in style and differ only in
application.

Laser cutting machine

3. STRAIGHTENING MACHINE

A machine used in rolling mills to level the surface of sheet steel. Straightening
machines are divided into roll-type machines, which are the most common type, and
stretching machines.

Roll-type straightening machines are designed for straightening thin and thick
sheets in either the cold or hot states; stretching machines are designed mainly for cold
straightening of thin sheets (steel and nonferrous metals) of which stringent quality
requirements are made.

35 | P a g e
 Straightening machine

4. FORMING MACHINE

Forming, metal forming, is the metalworking process of fashioning metal parts

and objects through mechanical deformation; the workpiece is reshaped without
adding or removing material, and its mass remains unchanged.[1] Forming operates
on the materials science principle of plastic deformation, where the physical shape of
a material is permanently deformed.

 Compressive forming involves those processes where the primary means of

plastic deformation is uniaxial or multiaxial compressive loading.
 Rolling, where the material is passed through a pair of rollers
 Extrusion, where the material is pushed through an orifice
 Die forming, where the material is stamped by a press around or onto a die
 Forging, where the material is shaped by localized compressive forces
 Indenting, where a tool is pressed into the workpiece

UNDERFRAME
The lower supporting structure above which the entire car body rests is called
as the underframe. It is similar to the chassis of a vehicle. The strength of the
underframe decides the reliability of the entire coach.

The underframe consists of 3 parts, namely:

 Front end
 Middle block

36 | P a g e
  Rear end
The side bar connecting all these parts is called as sole bar.

The manufacturing and assembly of the underframe occurs in 7 stages:

 Integration and welding
 Brackets installation
 Reverse welding
 First straightening
 Keystone sheet laying
 Second straightening
 Drilling

1. INTEGRATION AND WELDING

The basic frame work, pillars, supporting structures and the top skin are placed on a
jig according to given specifications and tightened to resist its motion. Initially they
are tag welded and later complete welding is done. The main types of welding used
here are TIG and MIG welding.

2. BRACKETS INSTALLATION

The below portion of the underframe has to support various electrical equipments. For
this purpose, many brackets are installed to support these equipments. These brackets
are placed beneath the underframe and welded.

3. REVERSE WELDING

In the first stage only the top layer of the underframe can be easily welded. In order to
weld the lower portion, the frame is inverted during the installation of brackets. Now
all the leftover portion of the lower side of the underframe is properly welded.

4. FIRST STRAIGHTENING

Due to the heat generated by the welding procedures the structure is liable to undergo
distortion. This changes the shape and the orientation of the underframe. To overcome
this defect straightening is done by hammering the underframes which are mounted on
the straightening jigs.

5. KEYSTONE SHEET LAYING

In order to increase the strength of the underframe and make it more rigid a metal
sheet bent in the form of a keystone structure is laid on top of the underframe. It is

37 | P a g e
welded by using spot welding methods. Since large number of weldings are to be done
the usage of spot-welding robot comes into picture.

6. SECOND STRAIGHTENING

The welding made on the keystone sheet also causes distortion. To correct this defect,
we use second straightening. The procedure is similar to the first straightening.

7. DRILLING

To mount the various electrical equipments under the underframe holes are drilled on
the brackets and various other required places.

PAINTING
Painting is mainly done on the lower side of the underframe. A special type of
paint known as Anti-Drum Paint (ADP) is used for this purpose. The main reason
behind using this paint is to isolate the interior part of the metro coach from external
vibrations and noise caused the movement of wheels on the tracks. This ADP has high
insulating properties which makes it very effective in reducing the noises.

BOGIE
This section manufactures bogies of metro, ACEMU, DETC, Indian rail
coaches, etc. The bogie of any rail coach has to withstand heavy loads since the entire
car rests on the bogie. Hence fatigue testing is done with a factor of safety of 10.

For the metro coaches the bogies are imported from Hyundai Rotem and only
assembled and tested in BEML complex. For other railway coaches the entire bogie is
manufactured in BEML itself. Recently even the metro car bogies are being
manufactured here itself.

Parts of a metro bogie:

 End beam
 Side frame
 Transom
 Traction motor (only for DM car)
 Primary suspension
 Air balloon (Secondary suspension)

38 | P a g e
  Speed sensor
 Bearing assembly
 Wheels
 Axle box
 Levelling rod
 Vertical dampers

The metro bogie is tested for full and wear load conditions and measurements in
deflection are noted with reasonable tolerance.

CAR BODY
The complete cuboidal structure seen visually in a metro car is called as the car
body. It consists of various parts, namely:
 Side walls
 End walls
 Roof structure

1. SIDE WALL

Each of the above mentioned start their journey from stainless steel parts that
are sub-contracted to the companies. The side wall and roofs are manufactures in the
39 | P a g e
shop. The side wall is fabricated according to the drawings in the car body shop and
spot-welded using robots. The welding points are also specified in the drawings and at
certain places TIG welding is done.

The entire side wall is divided into 3 parts, namely: front end, middle block,
rear end.
Totally there are 3 middle blocks, 1 front end and 1 rear end, each division separated
by doors which operate on screw rod slider mechanism.

2. END WALLS

There are basically 2 end walls, namely: front end wall and rear end wall.
Both these structures are manufactured in the shop itself. They have an empty cavity
to facilitate the movement of passengers from one car to the other.

3. ROOF STRUCTURES
There are 2 types of roofs, namely:
 Flat roof
 Curved roof

As the name suggests the flat roof are flat in order to accommodate the AC and
other related equipments.

On the other hand, the remaining part of the roof is curved to enhance the
aerodynamic properties and also to facilitate the easy flow of rain water towards the
sides of the car.

WELDING
The various types of welding used for joining all the parts of a metro are:
 TIG welding
 MIG welding
 Spot welding
 Seam welding

TIG WELDING

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a non-
consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area and electrode are
protected from oxidation or other atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas
(argon or helium), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as
autogenous welds, do not require it. When helium is used, this is known as Heli arc
welding. A constant-current welding power supply produces electrical energy, which

40 | P a g e
is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapours
known as a plasma.

MIG WELDING

Metal inert gas (MIG) welding or metal active gas (MAG) welding, is a
welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire
electrode and the workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s), causing
them to melt and join. Along with the wire electrode, a shielding gas feeds through the
welding gun, which shields the process from contaminants in the air.

MIG Welding

SPOT WELDING
Resistance spot welding (RSW) is a process in which contacting metal surface
points are joined by the heat obtained from resistance to electric current. It is a subset
of electric resistance welding.

41 | P a g e
 Work-pieces are held together under pressure exerted by electrodes. Typically,
the sheets are in the 0.5 to 3 mm (0.020 to 0.118 in) thickness range. The process uses
two shaped copper alloy electrodes to concentrate welding current into a small "spot"
and to simultaneously clamp the sheets together. Forcing a large current through the
spot will melt the metal and form the weld. The attractive feature of spot welding is
that a lot of energy can be delivered to the spot in a very short time (approximately
10–100 milliseconds). That permits the welding to occur without excessive heating of
the remainder of the sheet.

SEAM WELDING

Seam welding is a variation of resistance spot welding. In resistance seam

welding, however, the welding electrodes are motor driven wheels as opposed to
stationary rods. The result is a 'rolling' resistance weld or non-hermetic seam weld.

FURNISHING AND FINISHING

42 | P a g e
 Once the car rolls out from the car body shop its outer structure is complete.
This serves as the input to this section. The car body then spends the next thirty days
in this section. This is the final stage of manufacturing in a production line. It involves
finishing exteriors, interiors, installing cables, fitting various equipments, etc.

The following are added to the car body shell in this section.
 Floor boards over which linoleum covers are put.
 Glass wool insulation is done. Since the metro car is an air-conditioned car
it is imperative to carry out the insulation properly.
 Window glasses are installed using seals.
 Roof and under frame cable ducts are added.
 Doors and their opening and closing systems are installed.
 Interior panels are installed throughout the car.
 Plastic seats are also installed.
 Piping for the braking is installed as per drawings.
 Electrical units and cable ducts are installed.
 Compressors, battery boxes, invertor units are installed.

Bangalore metro interiors

43 | P a g e
 Bangalore metro exteriors
Most of the electronic components are placed underneath the underframe and
within the interiors of the car (mostly at the front end and rear end), namely:
 ASIC- air suspension isolation cock
 APS- auxiliary power supply
 SR- supply reservoir
 MR- main reservoir
 EPIC- electro pneumatic isolation control
 PCB- pressure switch box
 EED- emergency exit device
 VVVF-variable voltage variable frequency
 BCB- battery control box
 TIMS- train integration management system
 CCD- current collector device
 BCU- brake control unit
 CSJB- current shoe junction box
 EDB- electric distribution board
 HTJB- high tension junction box
 LTJB- low tension junction box
 EDCU- electronic door control unit

All these electronic components are collectively responsible for the running of the
train.

44 | P a g e
TRUCKING

The installation of bogie in the metro car is called as trucking. This activity is
also a part of the furnishing department.

PIPING

Brake pipe is the pipe running the length of the train, which transmits the
variations in pressure required to control the brake on each vehicle. It is connected
between vehicles by flexible hoses, which can be uncoupled to allow vehicles to be
separated. The use of the air system makes the brake "fail safe", i.e. loss of air in the
brake pipe will cause the brake to apply. Brake pipe pressure loss can be through a
number of causes as follows:
 A controlled reduction of pressure by the driver.
 A rapid reduction by the driver using the emergency position on his brake
valve.
 A rapid reduction by the conductor who has an emergency valve at his
position.
 A rapid reduction by passengers using an emergency system to open a
valve.
 A rapid reduction through a burst pipe or hose.
 A rapid reduction when the hoses part as a result of the train becoming
parted or derailed.

FINAL INSPECTION AND TESTING

PRE-TESTING

The input to this section is from the outfitting hangar. The various tests conducted are:

 Clearance test- In this test the dimensions are checked. The coach is made
to pass through a profile. This ensures that the train can pass through
tunnels, stations etc.

 Car body levelling- the rail to floor height dimensions are checked, primary
suspension gap is checked, car to boogie clearance and secondary
suspension (the car is levelled by pumping or removing air from this
suspension) is checked (all these tests will have tolerances).

45 | P a g e
  Weighment test- This test checks that the car weighs within the tolerances.
Weighment is done through the help of load cells placed under the tracks.
For one set of boogie there are four load cells used. Thus, a total of sixteen
load cells are used for one car. A load cell senses the variation in stress
when the wheels are placed on it. It then converts the pressure signal
received to voltage signals. The computer then collects all the voltage
signals and converts them to weight.

 Water tightness test- Before this test is conducted it is ensured that all the
gaps are covered with sealant. Inside the car there will be inspectors to
perform the manual inspection.

 Dielectric tests-This test is done to check the insulating capacity of the

cables. An alternator is used to generate varying voltages. These voltages
are applied to different wires and the leakage currents are measured. It is
checked whether they are within the limits.

Water tightness test rig

TEST TRACK TESTS

Once all the preliminary tests are completed the train enters the test track where
it is tested for various systems and functions.

The various test trach tests conducted are:

1. Train

47 | P a g e
 MATERIAL TESTING LABORATORY

The laboratories mainly conduct production-oriented tests and to some extent

tests on the incoming materials to the factory as and when required by different
departments. Usually the vendor along with the products shows the test reports
conducted by him. It is generally accepted, but in case certain departments want it
tested again it is the function of these labs to conduct the specific tests and give the
result accordingly.

1. UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINE

A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials

testing machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and
compressive strength of materials. An earlier name for a tensile testing machine is a
tensometer. The "universal" part of the name reflects that it can perform many
standard tensile and compression tests on materials, components, and structures.

UTM

2. IMPACT TESTING MACHINE

Impact testing machines evaluate an object's capacity to withstand high-rate

loading and it is commonly used to determine the service life of a part or material.
Impact resistance can be among the most challenging qualities to measure. There are
two standard kinds of impact test: Charpy and IZOD.

48 | P a g e
3. HARDNESS TESTING MACHINE

A hardness test is typically performed by pressing a specifically dimensioned

and loaded object (indenter) into the surface of the material you are testing. The
hardness is determined by measuring the depth of indenter penetration or by
measuring the size of the impression left by an indenter.

The Brinell hardness test method as used to determine Brinell hardness, is

defined in ASTM E10. Most commonly it is used to test materials that have a structure
that is too coarse or that have a surface that is too rough to be tested using another test
method, e.g., castings and forgings.

The Rockwell hardness test measures hardness in the simplest way possible: by
pressing an indenter into the surface of the material with a specific load and then
measuring how far the indentor was able to penetrate. Most of the time, the indenter is
made of either a steel ball or a diamond.

MAINTENANCE

Each and everything in this world requires maintenance, even the mother earth
requires sufficient maintenance. Failing to do so will result in various unfavourable
consequences.

In the same way, BEML also has taken enough care towards maintaining all the
machinery and the other related products and equipments.
This department is broadly classified into 3 types:
 Mechanical maintenance
 Electrical maintenance
 Civil maintenance

The different types of maintenance done in BEML are:

 Breakdown maintenance

Here, the maintenance or servicing is done only after the machine breaks down
and stops working. The macine is allowed to run until it wears out completely

50 | P a g e
 and stops functioning. Later the machine is checked and the wworn out parts
are replaced and repaired.

 Preventive maintenance

Here, the machine is taken care and serviced regularly before it undergoes
breakdown. This type of maintenance reduces the chances for breakdown.
Regular servicing, lubricating, visual inspection, etc. are the various methods of
preventive maintenance.

 Predictive maintenance

It is one of the most rarely used methods of maintenance. It involves checking

for vibrations and other signals and predicting the current status of a particular
part of a machine. This prediction helps us decide the life of that particular
product and we can take the required measures accordingly.

SAFETY ENGINEERING
Safety engineering department mainly deals with preventing any accidents by
taking preventive measures and regular inspections and also to protect the
environment from any activities happening in the industry along with following
guideline set by international standards.

Functions

 To conduct investigation to assess the cause of accident and categorize it.

Types of accidents
1. Near miss: Where a person might have missed getting hurt narrowly.
2. Lost time: Where a person might take some time to recover and get back to
normal functioning.
3. Disablement: Where a person loses a part of his body which will affect his
normal functioning.
4. Fatal injury: An accident which causes a death of a person.

51 | P a g e
 To provide safety training and awareness to employees

Types of training
1. Orientation training: Providing training for newly joined employees.
2. Safety awareness training: Providing training for employees (every year) and
also keep them updated on the revised safety guidelines.
3. Tool room talk: Personnel from safety engineering department visiting the
workplace and having a small chat with the workers to create awareness.
 To conduct regular inspection of equipment and work area for any improper
handling or any activity which may cause potential accidents and to avoid the
accidents it may cause.

Type of inspections
1. Routine inspection
2. Monthly inspection
3. Third party inspection
4. Safety audit
 Conduct investigation of accidents and to assess it check whether it should be
reported or not.

 To regulate the harm done to environment by the industry.

Types of preventive measures

1. Water pollution:
i. Sewage water treatment- Treatment done to clean sewage water
and remove biological waste
ii. Effluent water treatment-treatment done to remove chemicals
from water.
2. Air pollution: The contaminants in the air is filtered from the air as much as
possible and then released through chimneys at the height where the
gasses are not inhaled by living organisms
3. Hard waste: The hard waste generated by the industry is given to the third
party who will then categorize it into hazardous and non-hazardous
waste and recycle it for other purposes.
 Make sure the guidelines are followed by the entire plant.

52 | P a g e
 Standards followed by BEML
1. ISO 9001:International standard that specifies requirements for a quality
management system
2. ISO 14001: Specifies requirements for an effective environmental management
system (EMS).
3. ISO 18001: Occupational health and safety management systems (OHSAS).

CONCLUSION
INTERNSHIP- A LEARNING EXPERIENCE

As envisioned by our first PM, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, BEML Limited has
proved to be true one among the modern temples of engineering of India and BEML
has proved beyond doubt that they are no less than their competitors in the private
sector. As I have seen and experienced, there is no dearth of expertise, talent,
professionalism and dedication of the workforce towards accomplishing the tasks and
targets in meeting delivery of products to its various customer segments.

Today, I am proud to be associated with this esteemed organization as an intern

and I am fortunate to have the exposure across most of the departments and its
industrial functioning. Overall it was a good learning and rewarding experience.

This interaction gave me an insight and first-hand experience of industrial

scenario outside the institute curriculum. In addition, the exposure gave me the
practical knowledge into the overall functioning of the organization, human behaviour
in industry and also helped us co-relate theoretical concepts of classroom and practical
approach to industrial production.

53 | P a g e
 The entire duration of four weeks in BEML was professionally managed by all
the responsible persons I came across, very informative and I have no doubt, it will
retain its significance when I embrace my professional career as an engineer.

I gratefully acknowledge the large heartedness of this institution for giving me

an opportunity to complete this internship.
