Quality Assurance
We
are ISO 9001:2001 accredited company, which is a testimony in itself to
our quality production practices. While looking into the quality side
of the products, we keenly introspect chemical and physical properties
first, before applying hands on some other aspect of quality.
Progressive
Gear Industries (P) Ltd. remains quality conscious at each stage of
production and this is the reason why, our products fully meet with the
international quality standards. With our state-of-the-art in-house
quality checking center, we are able to conduct all types of physical
and chemical tests very comfortably.
Our
highly skilled quality personnel stay on their toes to maintain
universal quality norms in our products. The company conducts the
following tests for the sake of ascertaining the viability of goods on
international quality parameters. Some of these tests include:
As we use superior quality steels, such as EN - 8 Series, 8620, EN -353, 4140, 20MnCr5, 16MnCr5, Stainless Steel, EN - 24, EN - 31, HCHCR and Die Steels, as raw materials, only premium quality products are offered to the customers from our end.
1) Magnetic Particle Testing (Magnaflux) of our Products,
We do 100/ magnetic particle testing of all products forged in our company,
It is a
Non-destructive test method of inspecting areas on or near the surface
of ferromagnetic materials. The material is magnetized by passing
current then iron powder is applied. The powder adheres to lines of
flux leakage revealing surface and near surface discontinuities or
cracks. Magnetic particle testing is used for both raw material
acceptance testing and product inspection after forging. All the parts
which are detected with Cracks are rejected and scrapped. The operators
are provided with regular training so as keep them abreast with the
latest techniques.
2) Coining
The
process of applying necessary pressure to all or some portion of
surface of a forging is to obtain closer tolerances or smoother surface
or to eliminate drafts is called coining. Coining can be done while
forgings are hot or cold and it is usually performed on surface
parallel to the parting line of the forging. We produce wide variety of
Critical shape parts and due to different Shapes & sizes Coining is
required so we have installed two Hydraulic coining presses of Capacity
100 ton and 200 ton. This assures that proper relations are maintained
between different dimensions as per drawing.
3) Normalizing
Normalizing is a heat treatment for ferrous alloys which are heated to App 100 F above the critical range holding that temperature for the required time (Soaking time) & Cooling to room temperature in air. We have state-of-the-art continuous fully automatic ISO thermal normalizing cum hardening & tempering furnace. All the parts after forging are normalized in this furnace. Proper Micro & Macro structure is maintained and cut section is checked in our own fully equipped Laboratory and for parts requiring hardening & tempering 100% inspection is done at BHN tester. All the inspection machines and testing equipments are regularly Calliberated.
Manufacturing Facility
We
have maintained a full fledged forging unit and machining unit covering
64,000 sq. ft. and 11,000 sq. ft. area respectively, for better forging
and machining activities. At both the units, we have installed the most
sophisticated and advanced machinery purchased from the domestic and
international markets.
We
can forge approximately 5000 tonnes of steel forgings annually, which
is an example of our robust forging facilities. Progressive Gear
Industries (P) Ltd. also has well developed heat treatment facilities
such as Isothermal normalized cum hardening tampering furnace, shot
blasting etc. Various departments like Production, R&D, Quality,
Design, Packing, Forging, Machining and others are well maintained and
are properly supervised by designated professionals. We have advanced
CAD /CAM software for efficient design and development.
Our
Forging Unit is facilitated with machines such as Belt Drop Hammer (2
Ton), Belt Drop Hammer (1 Ton), Power Press 250 Ton, Power Press 150
Ton, Power Press 100 Ton, Forging Press 00, Billet Shear 5'' Capacity,
