 PREFACE
The objectives of the practical training are to learn
something about industries practically and to be familiar with
the working style of a technical person to adjust si mply
according to the industrial environment.

It is rightly said practical life is far away from theoretical

one We learn in class roo m can give the practical exposure or
real life experience no doubt they help in i mproving the
personality of the , b ut the practical exposure in the field will
help the st udent in long run of life and will be ab le to
imp lement the theoretical knowledge.

As, a part o f academic syllabus of four year degree

course in Mechanical Engineering every student is required to
undergo a practical training.

I am st udent of third year mechanical and this report is

written on the basis of practical knowled ge acquired by me d uring
the period on the basis of practical knowled ge acquired by me d
uring the period of practical training taken at Diesel Locomotive
Works, Varanasi.
 INTRODUCTION
Diesel Locomotive Wo rks (DLW) is production unit under the
ministry of railways. This was setup in collaboration with American
locomo tive co mpany (ALCO) USA in 19 61 and the first locomotive
was rolled out in 196 4. This unit produces diesel electro nic locomotives
and DG sets for Indian railways and ot her customers in India and
Abroad.

Subseq uent ly a contract for transfer of techno lo gy of 4000 HP

Microprocessor Controlled AC/AC Freight (GT 46 MAC) / passenger
(GT 46 PAC) locomot ives and family of 71 0 engines has been signed
with electro motive divisio n of general mo tors of USA for manufacture
in DLW. the prod uction of these loco motives has now started and thus
DLW is the only manufacturers of Diesel Electric Locomo tives wit h
both ALCO and General motors technologies in the world.
 Brief History

The Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) in Varanasi, India, is a

production unit owned by Indian Railways, for which it manufactures
diesel-electriclocomotives and spare parts.

Founded in 1961, the DLW rolled out its first locomotive three
years later, on January 3, 1964. It manufactures locomotives which are
variants based on the original ALCO designs dating to 1960s and
the GM EMD designs of the 1990s. DLW has an annual production
capacity of 150 locomotives and plans to increase it to 200 based on the
current demand.

DLW locomotives have power outputs ranging from 2,600

horsepower (1,900 kW) to 4,000 horsepower (3,000 kW). Currently
DLW is producing EMD GT46MAC and EMD GT46PAC locomotives
under license from Electro-Motive Diesels (formerly GM-EMD) for
Indian Railways.

Varanasi, one of the oldest populated cities in the world and has a
promising place in the international ground both as a hub of traditions
and technology. One side the humming of divine and holy bells of the
temples brings the city to life; on other side Diesel Locomotive Works
(DLW) Varanasi is one of the largest industrial unit in eastern part of the
nation. DLW catch the attention of lot of foreign tourist students to
observer on going amazing locomotive manufacturing process in
Varanasi. Diesel Locomotive works Varanasi is located at the North end
of the city and about 8 Km away from the Holy River Ganges Ghats.
DLW is an ISO 9002, ISO 14001 & OHS 18001 Certified Organisation .

Diesel Locomotive Works, Varanasi (DLW) is one of the main

manufacturing units run by the Indian Railways. This manufacturing
unit came into existence in year 1961, as a “Green Field Project” in
industrial association with ALCO, USA. This unit generate all the Diesel
Electric Locomotives. In year 1964, the first locomotive was
manufactured and it was devoted to the country. Diesel Locomotive
Works, Varanasi produces only Electric Diesel locomotives and
auxiliary parts of locomotives. However it is an Indian corporation but it
has supplied locomotives to some foreign countries also, includes
Angola, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and
Tanzania.Engine section manufacture more than 2000 machinery, which
comprise ALCO turbo superchargers, cylinder heads, connecting rods,
camshafts, lubricating oil pumps, chrome plated cylinder liners and
Vehicle section of DLW unit works on different fields that include
Currently, Diesel Locomotive Works, Varanasi constructs locomotives
and DG sets. In locomotives section, again it manufactures two different
types of products, one is EMD and another is ALCO.

set up with modern infrastructure like fume extraction system and
Programmable Logic Controlled material movement system.
 Engine Assembly & Testing

Pre-inspected engine block, crankshaft, camshafts, cylinder liners,

pistons, connecting rods, cylinder heads,
exhaust manifold, turbo-supercharger and
all related piping is used in assembly of
engine. Electrical machines like traction
alternator, auxiliary generator and exciter
are thereafter coupled on the engine.
The complete power pack with electrics are tested on
Computerised Engine Test Beds to verify horsepower output.
Vital parameters of engine are checked to assure the quality of
product.

Only after the engine parameters are found perfect the power
packs are cleared for application on locomotives.

 Vehicle Division

 Component Fabrication
Precision cutting and forming of sheet metal
is utilised for manufacture of superstructures
including drivers cab, engine hoods, and
compartments for housing electrical
equipment. All activities connected with
pipes like pickling, bending, cutting,
forming and threading of pipes of various
sizes are undertaken in another well-equipped work area.
All electrical equipment is assembled in the fabricated control
compartments and driver?s control stands is done in another work
 area.

 Under frame Fabrication

Under-frames are fabricated with due care to
ensure designed weld strength. Requisite
camber to the under-frame is provided
during fabrication itself. Critical Welds
areas are tested radio-graphically. Welder
training and their technical competence are
periodically reviewed. EMD under-frame is fabricated using
heavy fixtures, positioners to ensure down hand welding.

Fixtures are used to ensure proper fitting of components and

quality welding in subsequent stages.

 BOGIE MANUFACTURING
Special purpose machines are utilised for
machining cast and fabricated bogie frames.
Axle and wheel disc machining is
undertaken on sophisticated CNC machines.
Inner diameter of wheel discs are matched with the outer diameter
of axles and assembled on wheel press. The complete truck
(bogie), including bogie frames, wheels and axles, brake rigging
and traction motors are assembled which is ready for application
to locomotive.

 LOCOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY
Tested engines are received from Engine
Division. Similarly under-frames are received
from Loco frame Shop and Assembled trucks
from Truck Machine Shop. Superstructures and
contractor compartments are received from
 respective manufacturing and assembly shops of Vehicle Division.
Important alignments like crank shaft deflection, compressor
alignment and Eddy Current clutch/radiator fan alignment are done
during assembly stage.
Electrical control equipments are fitted and control cable harnessing is
undertaken. The complete locomotive is thus assembled before being
sent onwards for final testing and painting.
all locomotive systems are rigorous tested as per laid down test
procedures before the locomotive is taken up for final painting and
dispatch.
 Block Division

 Flame Cutting of Components

Steel plates are ultrasonically tested before being

precision cut by numerically controlled flame
cutting machines, Plasma Cutting Machine.
Components are straightened and machined prior
to fitting & tacking on fixture designed specially
for engine block fabrication to ensure close tolerance on engine block.

 Fabrication of Engine Block

Components after flame cutting and various
machining operations are fit and tack
welded before taking on rollovers. Heavy
Argon-CO2 welding is done on these
rollovers. High quality of welding is done
by qualified welders. Weld joints are
subjected to various tests like ultrasonic, X-
rays, Visual etc.

Down-hand welding is ensured using specially designed

 positioners.

Fabrication of engine block is completed by

submerged arc welding using semi-
automatic welding machines.
Special fixtures are used for making down-
hand welding possible in inaccessible areas. Critical welds are
subjected to radiographic examination. All welders are
periodically tested and re-qualified for the assigned.

After complete welding weldment is stress relieved and marking

is done for subsequent machining.

 Portal Milling Machine

Engine block machining is done on Portal

Milling Machine which is a 5 axis CNC
machine with SIEMENs 840-D state of art
system control with dedicated tool management
system. This machine performs milling, drilling,
tapping and boring operations in single setting.
