Chassis Assembly
In stage- 1, the front and rear axle is fixed on the main frame which is already
fabricated from shop 3.
In stage- 2, the frame assembly is placed on the conveyor belt, and then brake
chamber is fitted into it.
In stage- 4, the propeller shaft is connected into the gear box flange. This
propeller shaft is also coupled with universal joint.
In stage- 7, the air tank and fuel tank is fixed at the rear end.
In stage- 10, the lever, fuel filter and accelerator assembly is linked with the
engine.
In stage- 11, the tyres for the wheels are fitted to the wheel drum.
In stage- 12, the battery box and cross bumpers are fitted.
Finally, the vehicle is taken to another unit for checking its performance.
FRAME ASSEMBLY
There are several steps involved in frame assembly. They are as follows:
The side members and engine mounting are lifted using conveyor.
Assemble all cross members, steering mounting bracket, air cooler mounting
bracket and rear spring brackets.
On rear end of the frame, both sides are aligned with taper pin.
Cross members are tightened well. Fit and tight FS and BKTS on both sides
with dummy bolts.
Reaming process is done in the next step and the dummy bolts are removed.
Torque tightening in the rear brackets using M14 bolts on both sides.
Front and rear ends are fixed with four cab mountings.
Lift and unload the assembled frame from conveyor on to trolley using
tilting CUM lifting equipment.
SHOP IV
The shop IV is classified into two departments. They are given below:
Rear axle assembly.
Front axle assembly.
The rear axle assembly consists of several stages. They are shown below:
Load rear axle casing on pedestals and remove wire strip, axle shafts.
Assemble dust covers on brake shoes and tighten with bolts and nuts.
Distance piece is fixed to align the outer and inner wheel bearings in the
same axis.
Unload rear axle from conveyor and it is taken to the chassis assembly
centre.
The front axle assembly consists of several stages. They are discussed below:
Next, the axle arm is fixed to beam of steering with pin fin and cotter pin
using dummy bolts.
The tracking rod is fixed for the alignment of wheel. This will helps the left
side of the tyre to turn along with the right side wheel.
Fix the air chamber and brake shoe.
Unload front axle from the conveyor and it is taken to the chassis.
STAGE 4: STUDS
STAGE 7: FLYWHEEL
STAGE 9: PISTON
Finally, the assemble is taken to the testing section for checking the
performance.
