2.4 PURCHASE DEPARTMENT:


The Purchase Department is decentralized and each section is responsible for
procurement of its requirement. It handles the central excise, customs and insurance of the
products that are procured from different vendors.

On every products manufactured, the manufacturer has to pay value tax and excise
duty(ED) which will be some percentage of cost of the goods. BEML pays both these
duties to the vendor. Since BEML also manufactures products which in turn will be taxed
upon it can credit the duty it had payed on products from the vendors. In case of imported
goods ED is called customs duty. Only after paying the customs can the components are
received by BEML. Products whose customs duty is not paid are called bonded goods.
These are kept in bonded warehouses and can be de bonded after payment of customer’s
duty.

This department also handles the insurance regarding the products. Every product that
enters the stores is ensured.

2.5 PRODUCTION :
Production at BEML is an integration of different workshops. Some process raw materials
while some assemble the parts into a dozer. Briefing about the entire process, the raw
materials reach the plate shop where they are bent/shaped/cut into specified shapes and
are welded together into a part like a bucket of an excavator. After the pre- assembly, the
parts move to the fabrication shop where the arms/buckets are further processed: fitted
and painted. The steering case and the track frame and mid frame are fabricated. In the
machining shop, the incompletely assembled parts are bored/drilled/milled for low end
and high- end assembly. Old machine shop is where the undercarriage chains are pinned
together. The parts after undergoing machining will be heat treated for case hardening as
they undergo a lot of stress in their lifetime. The parts are generally of mild steel and
various other steel varieties. So the Heat treatment shop is planned close to the machine
shop. Here, hardenings through furnaces/chemical hardening/induction hardening are
carried out. The furnaces for example the Push Type Open Furnace is used to harden the
complete product/part. The machine shop- 2 is a similar shop but this shop houses
advanced CNC machines for the same processes and most of the processes are automated.

“WIFI
The gear shop as the name suggests produces gears that are used for the vehicle
movement. The

Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 12 of


“WIFI
refurbishment of gear boxes happens at the tool room. Servicing of products is also the
part of BEML. The gear drive of a vehicle usually has 3 gears as the speed is not a matter
of concern for the vehicles. The next shop where the parts move in are to the assembly.
The assembly happens at two stages: low- end and high- end. The low end is for low
capacity excavators/tractors/loaders. While the high- end is for heavier capacity vehicles
like the BE1800. The shop consists of equipment designed to handle heavy parts. The
defence hanger is where the Tatra trucks and recovery vehicles are assembled. The
Hydraulic and Power line division manufactures the transmission line, gear boxes and the
hydraulic apparatus. It consists of three major shops which are the two transmission shops
one each for manufacturing the parts and assembling them. The hydraulics shop is a hub
of hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic pump production. The power line shop assembles the
hydraulic apparatus and the transmission apparatus of almost all the products. The
company is now manufacturing the transmission of a Russian tank, hence revealing of the
standards and quality of the factory. The power line also manufactures the chassis of

High capacity dumper trucks that are assembled in the Mysore division. The division
also has a cutting and welding shop which is minimalistic but crucial for production. The
R & D cell is one of the most important division of the company. The
designing/protyping/quality are ensured and monitored here. There are accredited labs
that are functional. The fluid power lab, CAD center, hydraulics testing, material science
lab are some of the masterpieces. The engines/pumps are tested for loads or the hydraulic
cylinders are tested for their endurance or the frames/joints for their stress handling
capacities by running them through repeated cycles. The prototesting is where the
first/new design is implemented for validity. The detailed overview of all the shops is
summarized below:

CHAPTER-3
Study Project on WIFI DNC [DIRECT
NUMERICAL CONTROL]

FIG 8: WIFI DNC

Wireless DNC is a form of wireless data transfer, known as Direct Numerical


Control, performed between a computer numerical control (CNC) machine and
the computer controlling it. These are very widely used in the automobile, engineering,
sheet metal and aeronautic industries. These machines are capable of producing different
parts. For each type of part, a sequence of instructions is needed. This list of instructions
is stored in a computer script, a computer file written in a programming language, such
as G-code. This script is commonly referred to as a part program. When a part is to be
produced this part program is uploaded to a CNC machine by RS-232 link.
Now this RS-232 link between a PC and CNC machine with software is called a DNC
system. In a typical machine shop floor, it is difficult to maintain the data cable. Hence
Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 14 of
“WIFI
wireless data transfer has come into existence. There are mainly two types of wireless
hardware units available in the market. One is using Bluetooth technology, while the
other uses Wi-Fi technology.
In case of Bluetooth, generally one pair of Bluetooth devices is used. One gets plugged
on a COM port of a PC or Laptop, and the other is connected to an RS-232 port of a
CNC machine. The wireless link is established with the required driver software. Once
this is established, the user can run their DNC software for data transfer. In most cases,
the file is sent from a remote PC to a selected CNC machine.
In Wi-Fi technology, a wireless link is established between a device called wireless
access point (generally near the PC) and a device called a wireless node, which is
interfaced to the CNC machine. There is one access point and multiple nodes. Each
wireless access point and wireless node has one IP address. This IP address must be of
the same domain name as the PC. Thus a wireless Ethernet link is created. The wireless
node has an RS- 232 port, which is connected to an RS-232 port of the CNC machine.
Driver software on the PC maps the RS-232 port of the wireless node as a virtual COM
port of the PC. Once this is done, the DNC software takes care of the two-way data
transfer.

3.1 COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CNC MACHINE


AND DNC USING ETHERNET CABLE:

our CNC machines have RS232 ports – SFA can connect them to your network with
Ethernet RS232 hardware. With our Wired & Wireless CNC Connect current devices or
our LAN Connect devices, you can leverage your IT infrastructure on the shop floor.
Replace the long RS232 runs of older style hubs, take advantage of your wireless
network & get rid of cables all together!

Using Ethernet allows multiple PCs the ability to access shop floor machines. Ethernet
can go longer distances, which keeps the RS232 connection short & provides more
reliable DNC communication. Wireless CNC Connect devices stay mounted to the
machine – confirm you have a dependable wireless signal, move your CNC machine, &
it is always connected to the DNC system.

 While exploring CNC plasma cutting tables for use in your business, some key
factors to consider when making your purchase are the unit power requirements,
whether you need a portable or stationary unit and the amount and thickness of
metal to be cut.

ii) MESSER OXY FUEL CUTTING – WINDOWS BASED:

FIG 11: MESSER OXY FUEL CUTTING MACHINE

Oxyfuel cutting also referred to as oxyfuel flame cutting and oxyfuel gas cutting, is
the most economical process for cutting mild and low-alloy steel, even with weld
preparations involved. Oxyfuel cutting is regarded as one of the most important
production processes in the entire metal industry.

Over 100 years, Messer Cutting Systems has provided and developed leading-edge
technology for the global metalworking industry. We have perfected the design and
function of straight oxyfuel cutting machines and bevel oxyfuel cutting machines, which
deliver high-quality cuts, reliable service, and considerable savings to the cutting
process.

The Oxyfuel Cutting Process Involve

Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 19 of


“WIFI
Oxyfuel cutting is a combustion process using oxygen or a fuel gas flame. The heating
flame warms up the material to its ignition temperature. Next, an oxygen jet of at least
99.5 percent purity is blown onto the heated spot, oxidizing the metal. Burning metal
immediately turns to liquid iron oxide. This oxygen jet is the origin of the term “flame
cutting.”

The torch is then moved, and a narrow cutting slot, commonly called a kerf, is created.

The slag is removed from the kerf. The cut’s quality depends on the material’s surface
condition, cut velocity and thickness.

All low-alloy steel with a material thickness of as much as several inches can be cut
using this process. Despite the growing prominence of other cutting processes such as
plasma cutting and laser cutting, oxyfuel flame cutting remains a highly economical
process. When it comes to cutting heavy material thicknesses up to 35 inches (900
millimeters), oxyfuel flame cutting simply is unrivaled as a cutting process.

Oxyfuel cutting ensures reliable hole piercing and high cut quality. Component
production will be at their finished sizes without any need for further processing. For
weld seam preparations, V, Y, X and K bevels can be produced.

CHAPTER-4
EARTH MOVERS DIVISION (EMD)
4.1 PLATE SHOP:
Electrical Orientation:
Supply is at 11Kv and the input is from the preceding shop. Two transformers operate
in parallel to supply the demands. Machines operate at 440V. The control cabin has 4
panels: input, T1, T2 and output to the next shop. The stepped down output of the
transformer is given to the bus bar across which various machines operate at their
tapping points. Protective measures include Circuit Breakers and MCB at each machine
input. Capacitor Bank is used to compensate the lag in pf in peak operation times
usually from
09.00 to and 13.00 to 14.30. From the bus bar chambers, lighting loads or any other
vital machine is supplied to, directly. Overhead rail is supplied from the bus through
brush contact and the two types of rails are cabin controlled and hanging controlled.
Separate grid layout and control is carried out.

Energy Fulfillments:
Wind energy harvesting happens at a plant in Shimoga and there are generators available
at the plant of capacity 3250KW and lesser. The electrical board charges industries at
Rs.7- 8 per unit. The supply by the board is based upon the assertive approximation of
energy proposed by the company required during the season. Suppose 2000KW is the
approximation, the company will be penalized for every energy extra unit consumed.
General faults occurring are Line to Line faults, line to earth, surges or human error.
Fuses and protective gears are, altogether, installed at 2 locations: at the bus bar tapping
and the other one at the machine supply. For DC operated machines, a motor coupled DC
generator is used at the machine location itself.

Mechanical Processes:
The main mechanical processes happening at the shop are:
Welding, Shearing, Drilling, Bending (3 Roller bender)
Cutting (Gas CNC and Plasma CNC {Pressurized jet}) for optimization in raw material
usage Pressing and shaping {750 Tons press which can bend plates of 70mm thickness)
Example machines:

Electrical Annexure:
All induction hardening use high frequency currents for heating using Eddy current
losses. This happens by stepping down the voltage to a desired level and then invert it
at desired frequency using IGBT based inverters. The movements of the arms of the
machine are regulated by the limits.
The motor speed control methods are not adopted by the industries as they are not very
economic.

Cyclo-convertersare used in low currentapplications. The outdatedtechnologies of CNC


control are Relay logic and Contact control logic. Presently, PLC is widely used.
The PLC has ladder logic embedded in it and the operators are unauthorized for changing
the codes.
The commonly used Over load relay play an important role in the safety of the machines.

Ten Nos of 500 CFM and 2 Nos. 100 CFM Compressors operating at 6
Bar Pressure are installed in the Division. The generated Pneumatic Pressure is
well connected to all the Manufacturing and Assembly Shops through Leak
Proof Pipe Line Arrangement.

 The undercarriage section is a part of both machineshop and the heat


treatment as the process needs to be simultaneously heated.

 The induction heating equipment is used for case hardening for up to 3-


5mm of depth. Most furnaces use I²R heating principle. The interiors of
the furnaces are usually made of bricks or any other insulating materials.
The job after heating will be bathed in industrial brine or a polymer
based hardening agent.

 The testing of hardening is done by grinding over the surface. Other


heating techniques include ammonia furnace which heats ammonia to
500 C apparently hardening the job.

 For large parts, there is a pit type furnace in place. Also, the cooling will
be done in cooling pits which are usually 8 feet deep.

 The heating principle of eddy currents cannot be applied for tiny parts as
they make them become brittle and unfit for use. So, the plant has Radio
Frequency heating which heats the part using energized radio waves.
 There also a constant need for flow of cool water. So, there are induction
pumpsthat are used to pump water.

 The bus bar tapings are taken underground in this shop as the furnaces are
spread all over the place. The furnaces are strategically placed for ease
and highest output efficiency.

 A sand blasting apparatus is used to remove rust from the parts.

 Maintenance of the furnaces is a vital routine in functioning of the shop.


The valves and hoses are regularly checked for leakage. And some
induction based heating machines needs to be operated for a fixed hours
per day.

Captive Power:
The Division is self Sufficientin Captive PowerGeneration. The following

• CNC Shaping.
• CNC Gear Grinding.
• CNC Gear Shaving.
• CNC Gear Cutter Grinder • Vertical Broaching.
• Horizontal Broaching.

State-of-the-Art CNC Gear Grinding Machine from Hoffler Germany is


installed in the Shop and it has added new dimension to the Gear
manufacturing capabilities of EM Division. Gear Shop also houses a
Metrology Laboratory wherein Gear Testers of various make including the
latest CNC Profile Helix Gear Tester from Wenzel, Germany are available.

• The raw materials at the shop arrive as rings which needs to be shaped and the
teeth are to be shaped first. This is the first process here. There are various cutting
machines that do this based upon the thickness ofthe profile.

Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 34 of


“WIFI
• The shaped gears are to be shaved and grinded for smooth surfaces. This is done
by the grinding machine. The grinding machines usually use oil as lubricant as
well as the coolant. Most other process use oil and water mixture in the ratio 1:20
parts.
• The gear also needs to be drilled at relevant spots for later assembly and
alignment. So the shop also has drilling machines to serve the purpose.
• Broaching machines are used for internal gear cutting as there is no other efficient
way to do this.
• The gears manufactured here are generally spur hears. Helical gearsare generally
used for more efficient transmission. The gear shop has the hobbing machine for
an inexpensive way of cutting gears. The can be alternatively used for cutting
splines/sprockets/as a milling machine. The teeth are progressively cut by a
cutting tool called as hob.
• Gear shaving is also done for smoothening the gears to reduce the friction between
points of contact of teeth.
• The tool room is a vital part of the shop where the gears are aligned andare
assembled in the gearbox.
• The tool room also assembles the drive gear. The drive gear which transmits
power from the engine to the undercarriage chains have three gears for any typical
dozer or excavator. The underframe are provided with the slot to accompany the
idler pulley which along with the gear drive will form a loop for the chains. The
tensions in the chain are brought by the tiny idlers placed strategically al across
the underframe.

4.6 ASSEMBLY LINE:


Diesel engine and transmission:

1. At the assembly line, the independently manufactured dieselengineand


transmissionjoin the mainframe. The engine is usually purchased completely
assembled as it is a complex systemwith machined componentsthat can be used
in manydifferentvehicularapplications. In fact, the engine (whichhas been
subjected to variousperformance tests)is certified to operate on arrival. The
engine mounts in the front of the bulldozer; however, it is connected to the
transmission, which sits in the back. The two are connected by a long shaft and
supported by couplings and bearings. The transmission is then connected to a
series of gears and differentials to comprise the rest of the power train. By
mounting on pads previously welded to the frame, the engine/transmission
assembly can be bolted directly to the base on the main assembly line.

Radiator and additional assemblies:

2. On the front of the bulldozer, an engine casing is mounted to support the


radiator and hydraulic lifting cylinders. The radiator, another finished assembly,
will then sit between the engine casing and mount to the front drive shaft.
Connections can then be made to attach water lines from the engine to the
radiator. Additional assemblies for the hydraulic, lubrication, cooling, and fuel
systems are also constructed at other locations and purchased as a finished
assembly ready to be fastened directly to the engine or base. These include
hydraulic lines composed of tubes, hoses, and fittings pre- assembled and
mounted on the engine or frame and connected to pumps, valves, tanks, and
cylinders, each of which can be brought to the main assembly line as a finished
component. Fuel, exhaust, hydraulic, and coolant lines also arrive ready for
assembly and mate to other finished components. Many of these components
and sub- assemblies must be inspected and approved for dimensional
compliance at an incoming inspection station prior to assembly.

Large component assembly:

Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 36 of


“WIFI
As the entireassembly of the frame, engine, transmission, and line groups
movealongthe main production line, larger assemblies and components are
brought in by overhead cranes, overhead conveyors. These components
include the cab, larger hydraulic cylinders, undercarriage components, and the
front blade.
1. The cab, which can also be purchased as a finished assembly, is usually
manufactured at a different facility and shipped for assembly. Usually
complete in its array of electronics and controls, the cab will be mounted on
steel blocks or pads located on the dozer frame. Aftermounting,
connectionswill be madeto the various controls, and powercan supplied to the
fully functioning cab.

3. Concurrent with the engine/transmission mounting, the undercarriage,


composed of tubular roller frames, drive sprockets, and bogey independent
suspension rollers, will be mounted on the frame and assembled to the drive
train. The axle assembly will turn the outer sprockets that rotate the track,
allowing the vehicle to maneuver. The sprockets, typically 2 ft. (61 cm) in
diameter, will fit into the track with case hardened teeth, which move the track
as they rotate. In many manufacturing operations, the undercarriage can be
machined, assembled, and painted in the same facility as the main assembly
line, but various smaller components like bearings and lubrication bushings
need to be outsourced to other facilities or outside contractors. The track, which
is often pre- assembled from machined steel links, can be fitted around the
drive sprockets, rollers, and front/back guide gears only after the
engine/transmission and undercarriage components are in place. The exhaust
stack, attached directly to the engine, is supported by brackets and flanges at its
base.

4. After the cab controls are connected to the engine and hydraulic systems,
prefabricated cowlings or body panels are mounted directly on the base frame
to cover the engine, transmission, radiator, and fluid lines. The body panels
are designed to fold back, making the inside of the dozer easily accessible for
regular maintenance. They are assembled into hinges already fastened to
structural supports. Tooling and storage compartments may also be built into

Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 37 of


“WIFI
the dozer once the lines have all been connected. Deck plates lie around the
cabin and are welded to support brackets.

Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 38 of


“WIFI

5. The front blade is attached to hydraulic cylinders, which can position the
blade at different angles of tilt. The cylinders, each comprised of a hardened
steel piston inside a honed cylinder, are attached at one end to engine casing
in the front of the bulldozer to move the blade vertically. Initially in the
assembly process, the cylinders are left unattached at the one end until the roll
formed steel blade is assembled, and then hydraulic lines can be fitted and
tightened. The lower end of the blade is attached at two joints with large steel
pins which rotate and tilt the blade with two more cylinders. Arms extending
from the undercarriage are attached to the blade and then are assembled along
with the other undercarriage components.

Final assemblies:

6. Once the dozer has been outfitted with its primary components, more hoses,
electrical lines, and fluid lines are attached at fitted connections. Items such as
the batteries, which are connected to the starter on the engine, lie underneath a
cowling in a compartment located near the engine. Lights, one of the last items
installed on the dozer, will be placed in a number of different areas and
connected to their power source. In addition, hand or guard rails and foot pegs
are bolted on the frame which complete main line assembly.

Paint:

7. Applied manually with spray guns, the final paint booth will deliver paint
to any area not blocked off with paper or plastic wrapping. The paint dries
quickly and the bulldozer will move to the next station where decals and
trim are applied by hand templates.

Fluids:

9.Various fluids are added, and the vehicle is then sent to a testing station
where the operationof all systemsis mechanically verifiedand recorded. The
vehicle is transported from the manufacturing site to a staging area for

Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 39 of


“WIFI
customization and shipping. The completed bulldozer is shipped on a flatbed
trailer and is ready for field operation upon arrival.
SAE 30, SAE 10 are generally used.

4.7 FINAL TESTING :


• All the vehicles undergo vigorous testing of up to 240 hours before the delivery.
The vehicle will be tested for all the operations it is designed to perform.
• Although individual parts are also tested choosing one from a lot of 25. The R &
D division tests the hydraulics/stress capabilities and endurance of each
component by randomly selecting from a lot of 25. The qualification in which will
lead to clearing of the batch of 25 components.
There are several steps followed in testing process
• Oil charging.
• Test bed.
• Oil temperature test.
• Water temperature test.
• Oil pressure test.
• Water pressure test.

HP AND R&D

5.1 HYDRAULICS AND POWERLINE


• The three subdivisions of the premisesare the transmissionshop, hydraulic shop
and the powerline shop. The transmission shop is where the machining of the
components are done which are a part of the transmission shaft or the transmission
line itself. Thereare approximately 1500 sub componentsinvolved in
manufacturing the gear box and transmission. Hence, the KGF complex is the hub
of transmission and hydraulics manufacturing of almost all the products.
• The transmission shop 1 will manufacture gears involved in transmission gear
drives. The drive assembly of dozer and BMP is also a part of the shop. The
componentsare generally of vehiclesunderrehabilitation while our visit. The gear
assembly of a normal dozer is with spur gears, but that of the Tatra is with the
helical gears to reducenoise.
• Generally, there are 5 forward and 1 reverse gear of the Russian tank. These are
aligned with idlers to reduce noise and vibration. The tanks also have a secondary
breaking system in case the main breaking system fails.
• The transmissionmoduleis the componentwhich convertsthe horizontal rotationof
the engine shaft to vertical motion (coveys it to the drive).
• The majoroperationsin the shop are gear cutting, turning, gear
alignment/assembly. The gearbox is filled with gear oil.
• Thereis also a grinding procedure,whichinvolves blowing pressurized air for
smoothening. The CNC lobby is installd with turning/milling machines.
• The hydraulics shop is for the assembly of cylinder pumps and oil pumps. The
gears will have been through various milling and grinding processes. The tiny spur
gears are of utmost importance in operation of the hydraulics system.
• The hydraulic suspensions are also a major production here. The piston and the
cylinder is separated by pressurized Nitrogen and other gasesfor maximum shock
absorption. Front and rear suspensions are two sub divisions here. Suspensions are
necessary for equipment protection from undesirable shocks.
• The shop receives the raw materialsfrom the cuttingand welding workshop
wherethe cylinder actually takes shape.
Dept. of E&CE, 2023- Page 47 of
“WIFI
• The powerline shop is for the assembly of cylinder and the transmission module.
• The cylinder which housesthe piston must have a smooth internal surface for easy
movement of the piston. This is done by the honing machine. The equipment is
grinded inside an oil bath.
• The piston will undergo induction hardening for it will be subjected to stress. The
stress which is developed in this heating process is simmered by post induction
heating at 500⁰C.
• The pistonand cylinderare pushed against each other. Thereis a smallopening at
the end of the cylinder for the pump inlet. The chassis assembly of the dumpers
also happens here. The chassis holds the transmission module and also protects it.
The transmission shaft rises from the transmission module to the engine.
• Heat treatmentshop is also installed in the divisionto makethe production
economic and versatile. Sand blasting module is also installed here.
• Gear boxes are tested and also the hydraulic apparatus which are painted later.
• Service of the products is a vital process. The following are the service facilities:
• Each office in the vast network, is headed by a senior level executive for product
support at pit-head / on-site, for Erection & Commissioning, Maintenance,
Troubleshooting, Condition Based Monitoring (CBM), Training, Total Support for
Mid- life Overhauling & Major Rehabilitation of Equipment to enhance the
equipment availability & productivity.
• The Product support packages include Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC),
Annual Service Contracts (ASC), Maintenance and Repair Contracts (MARC) and

LABS

Materials Science Lab:

The laboratories set the inspection standards and passing criteria for various test
procedures. It is also required to check that purchases satisfy the technical
requirements. They 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 incase certain departments want it
tested again it is the function of these labs to conduct the specific tests and give the
result accordingly. Some of the tests conducted are mentioned below.

• Shear tensile test of spot weld- this test is carried out on a universal testing
machine. The specimen is placed between the grips as shown in the picture below.
The load is then applied gradually. The deflection is indicated by the dial gages.
The ultimate load taken by the specimen is noted.

• To check spot penetration of the weld- this test is conducted to check whether
the spot weld is penetrated deep enough through all the layers of the metal sheets.
• Crimping test- It is conducted to check the strength of joints of the electrical
cables. The cables are placed between the grips as shown in the picture. The
withstanding load is specified by the quality officials. A greater load is selected
and the load is gradually applied which is indicated by the pointer. The failure
load is noted and seen that it is above the specified load

• Hardness tests- Three hardness tests are conducted. They

are. Brinell hardness test.


Rockwell hardness test.

Micro hardness test.

• Chemical tests- these are used to detect the composition of various components.
Elements such as Cr,Mo,Ni,Mn,Fe,C,Si,P,Th.It is only lab in south India which
has got the facility of detecting the element thorium.

• Paint tests- to check the heat and corrosion resistance of the paint.

• Nondestructive tests
 Liquid penetrant test (to detect surface defects).
 Magnetic particle test (surface and sub- surface defects).
 Ultrasonic testing (internal defects).
 Radiography (X- ray & gamma).
 Digital paint film test.

• The Fluid Power lab tests the endurance of and the volumetric capacity of a
pump. Cylinder test for the load bearing capacity of the cylinder. The reference
cylinder is suppliedwith pressurized hydraulicoil which in turn impartsforce on
the test cylinder. The calibration of force simulation is done using sensors. Hose
testing is done by imparting 200bars of pressure on the test hoses in intervals of 1
second.

• Engine Testing: The engines are run in simulated natural conditions for their
endurance and the transmission modules are simulated with induction motors.
The engines are tested for any leakage/malfunction.

• Proto Testing: Any new prototype/design is first tested in the proto testing
centers before implementation/production.

• All the tests conducted are monitored using sensors and the output parameters are
finally presented in the computer based control output unit in terms of percentage

CHAPTER-6
Conclusion
BEML Limited has proved to be one of the modern templesof engineering in India and
no doubt the company is no less than their competitors in the private sector. As I have
experienced, there is no shortage 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. It was a privilege to be a part of this esteemed
organization as an intern and I am fortunate to have the exposure across most of the
departments and its industrial functioning. It was in overalla good learningand
rewardingexperience. This interactiongave me an insight and first-hand experience of
industrialscenario outside the institute curriculum. In addition, the exposure gave me the
practical glimpses into the overall functioning of the organization, human behavior in
industry and also helped us co- relate theoretical concepts of classroom and practical
approach to industrial production.
I gratefully acknowledge the kind heartedness of this institution for giving me an
opportunity to complete this internship.
