Press and Weld Operations for Front Fender (Scooter)

The Honda Two Wheeler press shop consists of 4 Hydraulic Presses capable of producing 350 Ton force each. A bank is fed into the first press which is draws it into the form. The next press is fitted with a shearing die which cuts the excess parts (flashes) and pressed part is finished.

The finished part is visually inspected and buffing is done to ensure that no defect/dent reaches the weld area. The presses work in pair of two. One for drawing and second for shearing.

Then these parts are sent to the weld section where they are clamped in a jigand a robotic arm welds the two parts together. An operator then checks the weld done by the robot in order to ensure that there is no welding miss or spatter. These defects are rectified by manual welding or by buffing. The second part of the fender is welded using spot welding. The weld is then inspected again. Finally the brake wire harness is welded. Also the L stay and R stay are welded (Stay are the clips) which are used to hold the fender along with the fork assembly. A fiber tool is used to remove any seam from the external surface.The welded part is then sent for paint. Where it is painted and sent for Fork Assembly in AF-1

Common Rail Type Fuel Injection System

Electronic control common rail type fuel injection system drives an integrated fuel pump at an ultrahigh pressure to distribute fuel to each injector per cylinder through a common rail. This enables optimum combustion to generate big horsepower, and reduce PM* (diesel plume) and fuel consumption. Bosch will supply the complete common-rail injection system for the high-performance 12-cylinder engine introduced by Peugeot Sport for its latest racing car. The system comprises high-pressure pumps, a fuel rail shared by all cylinders (i.e. a common rail), piezo in-line injectors, and the central control unit which compiles and processes all relevant sensor data.

Turbocharger

A turbocharger is actually a type of supercharger. Originally, the turbocharger was called a "turbo super charger." Obviously, the name was shortened out of convenience. A turbocharger’s purpose is to compress the oxygen entering a car’s engine, increasing the amount of oxygen that enters and thereby increasing the power output. Unlike the belt-driven supercharger that is normally thought of when one hears the word "supercharger," the turbocharger is powered by the car’s own exhaust gases. In other words, a turbocharger takes a by-product of the engine that would otherwise be useless, and uses it to increase the car’s horsepower. Cars without a turbocharger or supercharger are called normally aspirated . Normally aspirated cars draw air into the engine through an air filter; the air then passes through a meter, which monitors and regulates the amount of air that enters the system. The air is then delivered to the engine’s comb...

Different types of Casting Process

1) Investment casting 2) Permanent mold casting 3) Centrifugal casting 4) Continuous casting 5) Sand casting Investment casting Investment casting (known as lost-wax casting in art) is a process that has been practiced for thousands of years, with lost wax process being one of the oldest known metal forming techniques. From 5000 years ago, when bees wax formed the pattern, to today’s high technology waxes, refractory materials and specialist alloys, the castings ensure high quality components are produced with the key benefits of accuracy, repeatability, versatility and integrity. Investment casting derives its name from the fact that the pattern is invested, or surrounded, with a refractory material. The wax patterns require extreme care for they are not strong enough to withstand forces encountered during the mold making. One advantage of investment casting it that the wax can be reused. The process is suitable for repeatable ...
