2.1.1 Design Department

Fig 1 : Shoe Locker Fig 2 : Personal Locker

Fig 3 : Crossover Bench

Designing department plays a very important role in the manufacturing industrial field. Each part
has to be designed before manufacturing the product, experienced engineers who are much
skilled in designing softwares such as CAED, CATIA, SOLID EDGE, CRIO etc., are used to
develop a detailed design of the products, and some customers give limit and dimensions of the
required product the engineers develop exact sketch for the workers

The design department can be considered as the research and development

department of a manufacturing unit or factory because it is in this department that the prototypes
of products are developed and prepared for selling and production.

Under the guidance of the proprietor Mr. Satya Bhushan, San Flow is spearheaded
by Mr. Faisal Ahamed Khan, the lead designer who has an excellent understanding of various
product design and techniques and under whom many skilled workers with good working
capacity execute the tasks according to his design and knowledge down to the exact tolerance
and dimensions.

2.1.2 Production Department

A production department is a group of functions within an industry that is responsible for the
manufacture of goods. This can include just a few specialized functions with all other work
outsourced, or a fully functioning department that converts raw materials, assembles components
into finished goods, and packages them.

The production department can be the largest organization within an industry. It may
employ mechanics, machine setup specialists, maintenance personnel, and machine operators.
A key focus of the production department is efficiency. To that end, the bottleneck operation
within the facility is closely monitored and supported so that throughput is maximized.

Following are the various production methods that we have observed at San Flow:
1. Grinding Operation
2. Buffing Operation
 3. Hand Drilling Operation
4. Vertical Milling Machine
5. Power Press
6. Fly Press
7. TIG Welding
8. Arc Welding

However, there are also some processes that are out-sourced like:
1. CNC Laser Cutting
2. CNC Bending
3. Lathe
4. Rolling
5. LASER Printing
6. CNC Punching

Let us take a deeper look into what we have learnt regarding the production process:

1. Grinding Operation

Fig 4 : Grinding Machine

Grinding is the process of removing metal by the application of abrasives which are bonded to
form a rotating wheel. When the moving abrasive particles contact the workpiece, they act as
tiny cutting tools, each particle cutting a tiny chip from the workpiece. It is a common error to
believe that grinding abrasive wheels remove material by a rubbing action; actually, the process
is as much a cutting action as drilling, milling, and lathe turning. The grinding machine supports
and rotates the grinding abrasive wheel and often supports and positions the workpiece in proper
relation to the wheel. The grinding machine is used for roughing and finishing flat, cylindrical,
and conical surfaces; finishing internal cylinders or bores; forming and sharpening cutting tools;
snagging or removing rough projections from castings and stampings; and cleaning, polishing,
and buffing surfaces. Once strictly a finishing machine, modem production grinding machines
are used for complete roughing and finishing of certain classes of work.

2. Buffing Operation

Fig 5 : Handheld Buffing Machine

"Buffing" is the process used to shine metal, wood, or composites using a cloth wheel
impregnated with cutting compounds or rouges. The cloth buff "holds" or "carries" the
compound, while the compound does the cutting. The industry refers to "polishing" as the
process, which uses abrasive belt finishing. Buffing generally requires two operations, a cut buff
and a finish buff. Even the cut buff, which is the coarsest buffing operation, is too fine for
removal of pits, coarse abrasive polishing lines or deep scratches. This is why surface
preparation prior to buffing is critical to a high luster, final finish.

Excellent pre-buff surface preparation starts with using the finest abrasive belt that
production will allow. It is from this point that removal of the original scratch line needs to be
accomplished to achieve the final buff finish. The original "scratch" or polish is followed by one
or two additional polishing steps. Cross polishing the abrasive lines if possible and buff off of
approximately 400 grit or finer abrasive on metals. The cut buff will remove the final polishing
lines, but may not be as bright as required. The finishing buff will produce the luster.

3. Hand Drilling Operation

Fig 6 : Handheld Drilling Machine

We also perform drilling operations in the lathe machine too, but the drill machine is made for
this specific drill operation, so where we need the bulk of the drilling operation we go for the
drilling machine. A drilling machine is used to form a hole of different sizes on a job, drilling is
a metal removing process, by a drilling machine you can do drilling operation, reaming operation
and boring operation. This is the most common machining process, one estimate is that 75% of
all metal cutting material removed comes from the drilling operation.
 4. Vertical Milling Machine

Fig 7 : 3-Axis Vertical Milling Machine

The vertical milling machine is a precision tool used for shaping and fabrication by the removal
of stock typically from metallic work pieces. These operations provide a flat surface or spot on a
work piece, typically with a specific orientation to other work piece features, surfaces, or another
piece. The most common type of milling machine, a vertical milling machine features a
vertically oriented spindle that holds, as well as rotates, the cutting tool against the stationary
workpiece. The spindle is capable of moving up and down — all while pressing against the
workpiece to remove material.

There are actually two distinct types of vertical milling machines: turret milling
machines and bed milling machines. In a turret milling machine, the spindle and table can move
perpendicular and parallel to the axis. In comparison, bed milling machines only move the table
perpendicular to the axis. Many manufacturing companies prefer turret milling machines because
of their versatility. They are able to perform a wider range of milling operations than bed milling
machines, making them a smart investment for manufacturing companies.
 5. Power Press

Fig 8 : Power Press

Power presses are metalworking machines used primarily to cut, punch, or form metal using
tooling (dies) attached to the slide (ram) and bed. The slide has a controlled reciprocating motion
toward and away from the bed surface and at right angles to it. It is guided in the frame of the
machine either a “C” frame or straight side frame to give a definite path of motion.

The main components for power transmission on a mechanical power press are the
clutch, flywheel, and crankshaft. The slide is attached to a crankshaft with connecting rods and
the crankshaft is coupled to the flywheel, which always rotates when the motor is running. A
clutch is used to connect the spinning flywheel to the crankshaft. The crankshaft converts the
rotary motion of the flywheel to the downward and upward motions of the press slide.
Manually fed presses are cycled either by foot or by two-hand controls or trips. With
foot controls, the press is activated by pressing down on a foot switch or pedal, leaving the hands
free during the cycling of the press. This freedom of hand movement places operators using foot
controls at a greater risk of sustaining an injury at a point of operation. Approximately twice as
many press injuries are from foot-controlled presses. With two-hand controls or trips, once a
work piece is positioned in the press, both hands must be removed from the point of operation to
depress the buttons.
 6. Fly Press

Fig 9 : Fly Press

A Fly Press is a machine tool used to shape sheet metal by deforming it or cutting it with
punches and dies. The punch is usually the top (male) tool and the die (female) bottom tool.
A fly press is a type of screw press in which the screw shaft is driven by a flywheel or a pair of
fly weights at the ends of a bar. The wheel can either be cranked by hand or driven by a motor
using a friction coupling. The wheel is weighted so its momentum will maintain the motion of
the shaft. A fly press which is operated by hand is the simplest of all presses, it consists of mass,
handle, body, arm, screw, ram, stop collar, treads, and guides.
 7. TIG Welding

Fig 10 : TIG Welding

In the TIG welding process the arc is formed between a pointed tungsten electrode and the
workpiece in an inert atmosphere of argon or helium. The small intense arc provided by the
pointed electrode is ideal for high quality and precision welding. Because the electrode is not
consumed during welding, the TIG welder does not have to balance the heat input from the arc as
the metal is deposited from the melting electrode. When filler metal is required, it must be added
separately to the weldpool.
TIG welding is applied in all industrial sectors but is especially suitable for high quality welding.
In manual welding, the relatively small arc is ideal for thin sheet material or controlled
penetration (in the root run of pipe welds). Because deposition rate can be quite low (using a
separate filler rod) MMA or MIG may be preferable for thicker material and for fill passes in
thick-wall pipe welds.
 8. Arc Welding

Fig 11 : Arc Welding

Arc welding is a type of welding process using an electric arc to create heat to melt and join
metals. A power supply creates an electric arc between a consumable or non-consumable
electrode and the base material using either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) currents. Arc
welding is a fusion welding process used to join metals. An electric arc from an AC or DC power
supply creates an intense heat of around 6500°F which melts the metal at the join between two
work pieces.The arc can be either manually or mechanically guided along the line of the join,
while the electrode either simply carries the current or conducts the current and melts into the
weld pool at the same time to supply filler metal to the join.
Because the metals react chemically to oxygen and nitrogen in the air when heated
to high temperatures by the arc, a protective shielding gas or slag is used to minimise the contact
of the molten metal with the air. Once cooled, the molten metals solidify to form a metallurgical
bond.
Other Outsourced Production:

1. CNC Laser Cutting

Fig 12 : CNC Laser Cutting Machine

A CNC laser cutting machine works by centering the tremendous measure of vitality it delivers
on a little territory. The steady light emission that hits the zone makes it dissolve or dissipate. A
cut is created by moving the protest being cut or by moving the laser shaft over the surface.

High performance CNC cutting Machines in which drawing is directly imported

there is no need to transfer into G codes. As the controller is window based even unskilled labour
can work effectively & easily. Advantage of High-performance cutting Machine is low running
cost, very precise work & even man power requirement is very less.
 2. CNC Bending

Fig 13 : CNC Bending Machine

Computer numerically controlled bending is a manufacturing process that is carried out by CNC
press brakes These machines can bend sheet metal work from just a few mm across to sections
many metres long on the largest industrial machines. The CNC bending machine uses the
equipped mold to bend the cold metal sheet into various geometric cross-sectional shapes. It is a
sheet forming machine designed for cold-rolled sheet metal processing, and is widely used in
sheet bending processing in industries such as automobiles, aircraft manufacturing, light
industry, shipbuilding, containers, elevators, and railway vehicles
 3. Lathe

Fig 14 : Lathe Machine

Lathe is a machining tool that is used primarily for shaping metal or wood. It works by rotating
the workpiece around a stationary cutting tool. The main use is to remove unwanted parts of the
material, leaving behind a nicely shaped workpiece. Lathes are designed to remove material from
workpieces by exposing them to a cutting tool. The workpiece is secured to the lathe, at which
point it rotates while pressing into a cutting tool. The rotational movement of the workpiece
allows for the fast, efficient and precise removal of material.

Lathes are large and complex machines consisting of many individual components.
The headstock, for example, is the component that holds the workpiece as it rotates. Lathes also
have a tailstock to which the workpiece can be secured. The tailstock is typically used for
exceptionally large or long workpieces.
 4. Rolling

Fig 15 : Rolling Machine

Rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of
rolls to reduce the thickness, to make the thickness uniform, and/or to impart a desired
mechanical property. The concept is similar to the rolling of dough. Rolling is classified
according to the temperature of the metal rolled. If the temperature of the metal is above its
recrystallization temperature, then the process is known as hot rolling. If the temperature of the
metal is below its recrystallization temperature, the process is known as cold rolling. In terms of
usage, hot rolling processes more tonnage than any other manufacturing process, and cold rolling
processes the most tonnage out of all cold working processes.[1][2] Roll stands holding pairs of
rolls are grouped together into rolling mills that can quickly process metal, typically steel, into
products such as structural steel (I-beams, angle stock, channel stock), bar stock, and rails. Most
steel mills have rolling mill divisions that convert the semi-finished casting products into
finished products
 5. LASER Printing

Fig 16 : 3D Laser Printing Machine

These work by using a heated wire to positively charge a drum, which is then passed over by a
laser that reverses the charge in the areas that it hits. The now-negatively charged areas of the
drum represent the image or text that is to be printed.

A toner roller is passed over the drum, and toner particles stick to the negatively
charged areas. A sheet of paper is then fed underneath the toner-coated drum and the toner is
passed onto its surface, creating a printer copy of a digital document or image. Incorporating
laser beam technology in order to provide high precision outputs, laser printers are the perfect
choice for offices and busy workplaces.
 6. CNC Punching

Fig 17 : CNC Punching Machine

Computer numerically controlled (CNC) punching is a sheet metal manufacturing process that is
carried out by CNC punch presses. These machines can be either a single head and tool rail
(Trumpf) design or multi-tool turret design. The CNC punching machine is basically
programmed to move a sheet of metal in an x and y direction so as to accurately position the
sheet under the machine’s punching ram ready to punch a hole or form.

2.1.3 Accounts Department

An accounting department provides accounting services and manages the finances of a company.
Its responsibilities include recording accounts, paying bills, billing clients and customers,
tracking assets and expenditures, managing payroll and keeping track of critical tax documents..
The billing process, intake and outgoing materials and products are notified to
