Project Trainee (Design & Manufacturing)

• Jul 2012 - May 2013

• Designed and manufactured a mechanical fixture at this reputed manufacturing firm. • The mechanical manipulator we created was used in the welding of a base plate for a JCB excavator which required welds on both sides of the frame, thus requiring the fixture to rotate. • Most of the manufacturing was completed on a CNC laser cutter, while some parts were manually machined, using cellular manufacturing and group technology. • Selected critical parts and performed Finite Element… Show more • Designed and manufactured a mechanical fixture at this reputed manufacturing firm. • The mechanical manipulator we created was used in the welding of a base plate for a JCB excavator which required welds on both sides of the frame, thus requiring the fixture to rotate. • Most of the manufacturing was completed on a CNC laser cutter, while some parts were manually machined, using cellular manufacturing and group technology. • Selected critical parts and performed Finite Element Analysis, created a Bill of Materials and estimated costs. • This in-house fixture saved the company approximately INR 600000 and is being used till date.
