The Training at Braithwaite & co. Ltd.(Clive work) was very much helpful to me.Before the training at this premier plant, I just had the theoretical knowledge of various equipment, device and machines. After coming here and getting the supervisory hand and guidance of various senior and junior engineers, technicians, workers. I get a good knowledge of what the production & fabrication really stand for the equipment, apparatuses & machines available here were just beyond the imagination until one can see it practically, to watch them in practically was the main purpose of having the training and which was really helpful for me. I gone through the different processes of production & fabrication field. On, some apparatus I had the opportunity to work under the guidance and that was really a big advantage for me while studying. One of the aspect of this training was managerial aspect. The co-ordination provided by the technical staffs and department of training was very appreciable. So I thankful to the company to allow me to train under such guidance

WELDING welding sculptural materials, metals or is a fabrication that or joins usually thermoplastics, by
process
melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld. This is in contrast with soldering and brazing, which involve melting a lower-melting-point material between the workpieces to form a bond between them, without melting the work pieces. Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, riction, nd ultrasound. While different space. are often an industrial process, welding air, may under be performed water and and in in many outer

TYPES OF WELDING: Manual Metal arc welding(MMAW): One of the most common types of arc welding is shielded metal arc welding (MMAW);it is also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA) or stick welding. Electric current is used to strike an arc between the base material and consumable electrode rod, which is made of filler material (typically steel) and is covered with a flux that protects the weld area from oxidation and contamination by producing carbon dioxide (CO2) gas during the welding process. The electrode core itself acts as filler material, making separate filler unnecessary. Shielded metal arc welding. The process is versatile and can be performed with relatively inexpensive equipment, making it well suited to shop jobs and field work. An operator can become reasonably proficient with a modest amount of training and can achieve mastery with experience. Weld times are rather slow, since the consumable electrodes must be frequently replaced and because slag, the residue from the flux, must be chipped away after welding. Furthermore, the process is generally limited to welding ferrous materials, though special electrodes have made possible the welding of cast iron, nickel, aluminum, copper, and other metals. as shown in fig.(a)

MIG WELDING: MIG welding was developed in the 1940s and 60 years later the general principal is still very much the same. MIG welding uses an arc of electricity to create a short circuit between a continuously fed anode and a cathode. The heat produced by the short circuit, along with a non-reactive gas locally melts the metal and allows them to mix together. Once the heat is removed, the metal beings to cool and solidify, and forms a new piece of fuses metal. MIG welding is useful because you can use it to weld many different types of metals: carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, copper, nickel, silicon, bronze and other alloys. As shown in fig.(b)
SUBMERGED ARC WELDING: SAW is a commend arc welding process. Originally developed by the linde-union carbide company. It requires a non-continuously fed consumable solid or tubular electrode. The molten weld and the arc zone are protected from atmospheric contamination by being submerged under a blanket of granular fusible flux consisting of lime, silica, manganese oxide, calcium fluoride, and other compounds. When molten, the flux because conductive, and provides a current path between the electrode and the work. This thick layer of flux completely covers the molten metal thus preventing spatter and sparks as well as suppressing the intense ultraviolet radiation and fumes that are a part of the shielded metal arc welding(SMAW) process. As shown in fig.(c)
TYPES OF MACHINE Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing Machines: This fully Hydraulic Guillotine Shearing Machines is very versatile, reliable and efficient, designed and built to high standard to meet the requirement of precision sheet and plate working applications. Fast and accurate motorized back gauge with front digital readout is a standard with all models of this machine. The back gauge travels on precision lead screw.as shown in fig.(b)

WELDING & CUTTING MACHINE: which are available in different dimensions and specifications. Used in applications like automatic or manual cutting & flame cutting of small vehicles, our range is portable and have cutting capacity of range 1200 mm. Further, our products find application in steel plate making in industries such as car, ship building, engineering machinery, petroleum and chemical industry etc.as shown in fig.(c)
PLASMA CUTTING MACHINE: Plasma cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metal of different thickness(or sometime other material) using a plasma torch. In this process, an inert gas (in some units, compressed air) is blow at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma. The plasma is sufficiently hot to metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut as shown in fig.(d)
ROLLING MACHINE : It is used to roll or bend a plate by help of three rollers one on top and two below the plate. The plate is straightened and depends upon the vertical distance between axis of top roller and bottom two rollers and the bending upon top roller vertical movement. More the vertical movement more will be the bending effect. as shown in fig.(e)
Fig.(d)
fig.(e)
STRAIGHTNER MACHINE: This machine is use to straighten the metal plate which bend due to various defect. Here the floor plate are straighten before placing it on the floor of the wagon.
Pneumatic Compressor Machine: It is a type of machines which creates air pressure and is used in various machine for various process. Altogether there eight pressure pump in the Braithwaite which supply pneumatic pressure for various equipment for running. as shown in fig.(f)
fig.(f)
SHOT BLASTING MACHINE: It is a type of machine which is requires giving finish touch to the product that is wagon. It is designed in such manner that all the part and body are shaped properly.
RIVETTING MACHINE: Riveting machines are used to automatically set (squeeze) rivets in order to join materials together. The riveting machine offers greater consistency, productivity, and lower cost when compared to manual riveting. It is a heavy machine which contain a piston inside which presses the die to give the required shape to the metal piece which is heated near it melting point .so that it is easier to give a desire shape.
GRINDING MACHINE: A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is a machine tool used for grinding, which 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 work piece via shear deformation.
CNC MACHINE CNC Machine is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computer to control machine tools. Tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. The CNC in cnc machine stands for Computer Numerical Control. On the surface, it may look like a normal PC controls the machines, but the computers unique software and control console are what really sets the system apart for use in CNC machine. Under CNC Machining, machine tools function through numerical control. A computer program is customized for an object and the machine are programmed with CNC machining language that essentially controls all features like feed rate, coordination, location and speeds. With CNC machine, the computer can control exact position ng and velocity. CNC machining is used in manufacturing both metal and plastic parts. There are many advantages to using CNC Machining. The process is more precise than manual machining, and can be repeated in exactly the same manner over and over again. Because of the precision possible with cnc machining, this process can produce complex shapes that would be almost impossible to achieve with manual machining. CNC Machining is used in the production of many complex three-dimensional shapes. It is because of these qualities that CNC Machine is used in jobs that need a high level of precision or very repetitive tasks.
COMPRESSOR MACHINE
Hydraulic Compressor Machine: A hydraulic compressor machine is used to run various machine for compressing the job or for creating sheers on the blade to cut the material Its silent features are 1.More Economical & Easy To operate high Performance 2.Durability 3.Sale Service Support 4.Require Low Maintenance 5.Cost Effective 6.Faster Than Single Pump 7.Long Life of High Pressure Pump 8.Continuous Process(Less labour Required)
locked in place. The bolt remains locked until the action is cycled, either manually by the operator, or mechanically by the gas created by discharging the rifle pushing on the operating rod or bolt carrier, which then rotates the bolt and unlocks it from the breech so that it can be withdrawn in order to extract and eject the spent casing, and chamber a new round.
RIMMERING MACHINE: It is a type of machine used to make the size of the drilling much accurate and slag free so that lock bolting or riveting can be easily done without any problem.
CUTTING AND CHIPPING MACHINE: In Braithwaite various mechanical , hydraulic and pneumatic shear machine are present which basically run manually and use to cut and make small chip for further production of the components by giving shear.
DRILLING MACHINE: A drill is a tool fitted with a cutting tool attachment or driving tool attachment, usually a drill bit or driver bit, used for drilling holes in various materials or fastening various materials together with the use of fasteners. The attachment is gripped by a chuck at one end of the drill and rotated while pressed against the target material. The tip, and sometimes edges, of the cutting tool does the work of cutting into the target material. This may be slicing off thin shavings (twist drills or auger bits), grinding off small particles (oil drilling), crushing and removing pieces of the work piece (SDS masonry drill), countersinking, counter boring, or other operations.

JIGS &FIXTURE
In metalworking and woodworking, a jig is a type of custom-made tool used to control the location and/or motion of another tool. A jig's primary purpose is to provide repeatability, accuracy, and interchange ability in the manufacturing of products.[1] A jig is often confused with a fixture; a fixture holds the work in a fixed location. A device that does both functions (holding the work and guiding a tool) is called a jig. as shown in fig(h)
DRILL JIGS A drill jig is a type of jig that expedites repetitive hole centre location on multiple interchangeable parts by acting as a template to guide the twist drill or other boring device into the precise location of each intended hole centre. In metalworking practice, typically a hardened drill bushing lines each hole on the jig plate to keep the tool from damaging the jig. Drill jigs started falling into disuse with the invention of the jig borer.
TYPES OF DRILL JIGS 1.Plate jigs or channel jig. 2.Angle plate jig. 3.Box jig. 4.leaf or latch jig. 5.Sandwich jig. 6.Trunnion jig. 7.Jig for multi spindle machines. 8. Template jig 9 Universal Jig
FIXTURE A fixture is a work-holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry.[1][2] Fixtures are used to securely locate (position in a specific location or orientation) and support the work, ensuring that all parts produced using the fixture will maintain conformity and inter changeability. Using a fixture improves the economy of production by allowing smooth operation and quick transition from part to part, reducing the requirement for skilled labour by simplifying how work pieces are mounted, and increasing conformity across a production run.
CTRB BEARING:
A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion between moving parts to only the desired motion. The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts. Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or to the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts. CTRB is a special type of bearing used in bogie wheel of wagon. It is a very costly bearing imported from America by the manufacturer name Benco. Altogether for a boxn-hl 16 bearing is mounted on the two side of the wheel.
EOT CRANE
CRANE: Crane is a materials handling equipment for lifting or lowering a load by a hook and moving in horizontally, in which the hoisting mechanism is an integral part of the equipment. A crane may be driven manually or by power and may be fixed or mobile.
EOT CRANE: EOT CRANE essentially consists of one or more hoisting devices mounted on a bridge consisting of one or two horizontal girders, which are supported at each end by trucks riding on elevated runways installed at right angles to the bridge. Runways are installed on building columns, overhead stresses or frames, much above floor level. The hoisting device moves along the bridge while the bridge moves along the runway.
Lettering: This is the process of providing information about the wagon. The outer surface of the wagon is inscribed with the letters which gives the relevant information such as no. of the wag on, name of railways, its tare weight, carrying capacity, and other railway related information regarding the wagon.
QUALITY ASSURANCE: After manufacturing of BOXN-HL,BRN22.9 & before despatch an inspection is done by the RDSO inspection, Ministry of Railway Board. The inspection form contains: Running gear, bogie made & bogie no., air brake made, SAB (Slack adjustment barrel) made, date of air brake testing units calibration, data of air brake testing, coupler made, tare weight, date of water tightness testing,RAD availed, date of short blasting, DM issusing date, IXR fit memo issue date. The last official formality of quality assurance is, the above inspection from should be signed by works inspectors & RDSO inspection jointly.
MAINTAINANCE
Maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) or maintenance, repair, and overhaul[2] involves fixing any sort of mechanical, plumbing or electrical device should it become out of order or broken (known as repair, unscheduled or casualty maintenance). It also includes performing routine actions which keep the device in working order (known as scheduled maintenance) or prevent trouble from arising (preventive maintenance). MRO may be defined as, "All actions which have the objective of retaining or restoring an item in or to a state in which it can perform its required function. The actions include the combination of all technical and corresponding administrative, managerial, and supervision actions." MRO operations can be categorised by whether the product remains the property of the customer, i.e. a service is being offered, or whether the product is bought by the reprocessing organisation and sold to any customer wishing to make the purchase. (Gazette, 2002) The former of these represents a closed loop supply chain and usually has the scope of maintenance, repair or overhaul of the product. The latter of the categorisations is an open loop supply chain and is typified by refurbishment and remanufacture. The main characteristic of the closed loop system is that the demand for a product is matched with the supply of a used product. Neglecting asset write-offs and exceptional activities the total population of the product between the customer and the service provider remains constant.
SAFETY& PRECAUTION
Engineering Workshop Safety Manual Custodian: (a) Never adopt a casual attitude in the workshop and always be conscious of the potential hazards. (b) Ensure that personal clothing is suitable to the workshop conditions, e.g. Safety footwear with steel capping. Thongs or open footwear should not be worn in the workshop area. Singles, tank tops or similar clothing are not suitable for wearing in the workshop. (c) Always wear eye protection when using power operated hand or machine tools, or while performing physical tests that could lead to eye damage. (d) Use protective clothing and devices appropriate to the type of operation being carried out, giving due consideration to the work being carried out in the vicinity. (e) Never run in the workshop or any laboratory. (f) Never indulge in reckless behaviour in the workshop (g) Always exercise care when opening and closing doors and entering or leaving the Workshop. (h) Do not carry out any work in isolation in the workshop; ensure that at least a second person is within call. (i) Before any work is carried out in the workshop, permission must be obtained from the Workshop Supervisor. Never undertake any work unless the potential hazards of the operation are known as precisely as possible, and the appropriate safety precautions are adopted. Any flame producing activity is not to commence until the immediate area has been cleared of dusts. Many materials, which are non-flammable in a lump state, become quite volatile when in powdered or dust cloud form. (j) Take additional care when carrying or moving any potentially hazardous material or substance. Warning signs and barriers followed carefully.
PRODUCT FLOW
CONCLUSION
I am highly obliged to the H.R Dept. of BRAITHWAITE & CO. LTD. who allowed me to pursue my summer training in such a big reputed organisation. BRAITHWAITE & CO. LTD. is one of the leading manufacturer in wagon industry where production is in bulk along with safety of environment and employee. During the training I came to know the various application of the mechanical equipment which I have gone through in my studies. Mechanical equipment like gear box, shaft motor, bearing, shearing machine, welding and its type, different types of machine, etc.. working are best understood in practical knowledge rather than book knowledge. Engineering students found industrial visit highly helpful to understand the working of the different huge machine which is impossible to make understood by the faculty in an organisation.
In BRAITHWAITE & CO. LTD. I have learned the working environment of company in different department. All department follow safety norms and rules for the safety of each other. Here I have understood that how important is summer education in the career of engineering student. We have to join industry after our studies and summer training provide me to establish our self conveniently in the industry.
