Productivity Improvement in Rear Header of Scorpio

The project title is "Productivity Improvement in Rear Header of Scorpio". The project is based on the process of 'Spot welding' which is used in the assemble Mahindra Scorpio rear header part. In Mahindra CIE Automotive Nasik Welding of DG0020N takes place at the sub assembly shop. The DG0020N part is the product of welding together two parts. Whenever there is a welding operation, resistance spot welding is used. It aims at developing a pneumatic system in place of a manually operated system to reduce cycle time and operator fatigue of the process and quality of the product. The previous process is completely dependent on the operator’s judgment, which makes it prone to many defects. It is also possible that these defects are not detected visually on the quality checks, but reduce the life of the weld. Aim of this Project is to replace existing traditional hand clamps by pneumatic clamping system. This reduces the time and subsequently increases productivity and reduces operator fatigue.
