SEW MACHINING DIVISION
Our journey as a machining supplier for our customers began with our first shop floor at Chengalpet, Tamil Nadu with a humble line up 6 turning lathes and an employee strength of 12 people together producing a mere 12,000 pieces per month.
Today we have today grown manifold both capacity and capability wise and expanded our operations to 2 full size machining units in MaraiMalai Nagar, Kancheepuram Dist, TN. We strongly believe that our quest for the highest quality and commitment combined with the unwavering support of our customers has helped us become what we are today. Please read on in detail about our machining division
FACING AND CENTERING MACHINES
A majority of our shafts require both ends to be faced and centered as a first operation to facilitate holding between revolving centers for further turning. For this purpose, we have dedicated 4 specially made high capacity BFW make F&C machines that churn out a total of 6000 pieces per day.
HORIZONTAL TURNING LATHES
Subsequent operations are performed in CNC turning lathes equipped with heavy duty spindles to withstand high loads generated by machining steel shafts. Every lathe is fitted with a special UBL chuck that ensure accurate holding of forged jobs and high precision machining of up to 10 microns to be achieved.
We have 37 CNC turning lathes and all of our them are fitted with coolant mist eliminators and high pressure coolant pumps.
QUALITY CERTIFICATION
All SEW machining units are certified IATF 16949:2016. One of our units has been inspected by the Deming Award team during the certification process initiated by and for our biggest customer, Sundram Fasteners Limited. Our TQM practices were recognized as amounting to customer product quality. All 17 plants of SFL were awarded the Deming award in November 2018.
CONTOUR TRACER
A majority of our product line up consists of shafts with varying diameters and groove profile. It is vital to check each and every radius, distance and angle with a contour tracer to ensure a flawless process and a perfect product
PROFILE PROJECTOR
We are equipped with a profile projector to ensure accuracy of the complex profiles including the smallest radius and angles which are critical especially for turbine shafts
ROUGHNESS TESTER
Transmission shafts require a surface finish of up to Ra 1.6. Our quality assurance capabilities include a high end roughness tester to ensure such stringent requirements are met for every critical automotive components.
MULTI GAUGE
We have specialized multi gauges from BAKER to facilitate quick and accurate inspection of our shafts using high precision probes that inspect the multiple varying diameters of the shafts, in a fraction of a second.
ANCILLARY MACHINES
In addition to our machining and turning centers, we are also equipped with adequate ancillary machinery that support the smooth functioning of our units and ensure quality of product.
3 screw compressors of a total 40HP providing compressed air at a maximum 10 bar pressure.
2 Centralized power stabilizers with capacity to regulate power to all machines.
Centralized coolant circulation system that delivers coolant to dispensers situated next to all machines.
20 grinding machines
