INTRODUCTION
This report consists the description and the
operations done on the rolling and forging machines.
Also it considers how raw materials are selected and
the description of the various drawings and their use
in making nuts and bolts.Finally it uses the insights
learnt and summarizes by developing the new
product development process.
BAGLA GROUP FASTENERS (BGF) is the joint venture
of BAGLA Group with Fontana Group, the leading
manufacturer of fasteners in Italy. It specializes in
making hexagonal, flange, collar and nylock fitted
nuts and various sizes of bolts of varying sizes.
A lot of sequential steps have been employed to
manufacture these fasteners. For both nuts and bolts
the steps right from phosphating, wire drawing, cold
forging, threading/rolling, heat treatment, surface
treatment and packing.
I had been given to the project of studying the
forging and rolling machines. Following is a brief
account on their working principles.
is a operation by which the desired shape is given to
the workpiece by pressing it by a hard punch. There
are two kinds of forging machines at BGF:
1 .NUT FORMER MACHINE: In this process
hexagonal nylock nuts are produced with the help of
cold forging operation.
MODEL: WF24B6S
CAPACITY: M12 to M16
The processes required for flange nut forging are
Forging
Tapping
Surface Finish
Nylock Fitting
Operation: It consists of a 6 die and 6 punch
operation system. The wire after phosphating and
drawing enters the nut forming machine with the
help of feed rollers and and wire straightener. The
wire is cut for the required length and is held in the
die with the help of fingers. The first punch punches
it and then it is knocked out and transferred into the
second die with the help of transfer fingers. The
punch operates again and this process continues till
the nut reaches the sixth die and punch. The sixth
punch is the piercing one and the sixth die is the
monogram.
This machine operates on two speed namely high
and low.It depends on the type of nut.
Low speed is normally 70 rpm.
OPERATION:
The drawing of the nut is checked first.
Hopper settings are adjusted as per flange nut
size.
The tap is welded to tap rod.
Insert tap rod in tap guide bush.
Set finger of machine as per size of job.
Set the job plate as per size of job.
Do job rolling settings to guide the nut as per
size.
Load the material in machiine.
Start production after getting first piece
approval.
Sharpen the tap when required.
DIFFERENT DRAWINGS:
Drawing plays an important factor in the accurate
manufacturing of bolts and nuts. Drawings are 2-
dimensional sketches of the top and front view of the
required output with all the necessary information
like surface finish, dimensional and geometric
tolerance, etc.
The different types of drawings are:
