ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to thank to all those with whom I worked and whose thoughts and insights
helped me in increasing my knowledge and understanding of working in the
organization .
I would like to pay my sincere gratitude to MR. RAJENDRAYADAV & all employees, my project guide, who
helped me during the course of my training by providing his valuable suggestion, ideas and
guidance which proved beneficial for completion of my project . Besides I would also thank to all
the supervisors, Foreman and workers who helped me to understand the depth of my project, what
they want out of the project.

These people made me comfortable to understand the functioning of each machine &
about the operation occuring on the machines. They tried their best to make me
understand about the fixtures, tools and gauges used on the machine. These
peoples never made me feel as a trainee in the department rather provide an
atmosphere like a family and feel proud being the part of their through for short
while. Without their help this project would never have taken its present form. In
fact this project is the result of their vision, optimistic and encouraging attitude.

In the end I would like to thank the ESCORTS AGRI MACHINERYGROUP for providing
me with this brilliant opportunity to understand the working of an industry and
developing my technical aptitude

INTRODUCTION
In todays competitive world with fast depleting material resource, and with all its limitations, it has become
imperative to develop human resources and its effectiveness. The continued effectiveness and efficiency of
an organization to some extent depend on the ability of its employees to produce at high levels of
efficiency, and to keep a breast with role, which the job demands. Training should be a long terms
investment in human resources which can be achieved by following the equation.

Performance = Ability * Efficiency

Training can have an impact of both these factors. It is a powerful tool that can have a major impact on the
employees productivity and Morale.
The first and foremost activity concerned with this effort is to identify their training needs. The needs of the
employees may very from department to department, from person to person and from organization to
organization.
The concept aims to meet an employees needs/goals with current or future opportunities with in organization
and pertaining to changing environment of the industry. The activity recognizes the employees needs for
advancement in his carrier and of better opportunities to use his talent.
It appreciates the fact that employees should be trained for new technology. The organization may move into
other areas, changing the type of skills necessary to do, Training of employees can be a fruitful means for
the organization to increase its productivity, to sustain the existence of the organization in a better way and
finally, to prepare them for the future.

Facing & Centering

Facing is part of the turning process. It involves moving the cutting tool at right angles to the axis of
rotation of the rotating work piece. This can be performed by the operation of the cross-slide, if
one is fitted, as distinct from the longitudinal feed (turning). It is frequently the first operation
performed in the production of the work piece, and often the last- hence the phrase "ending up".
This process is used for reducing length and smoothening the face.

Rough Turning
When a great deal of stock is to be removed, you should take heavy cuts to complete
the job in the least possible time. This is called rough turning. Select the proper
tool for taking a heavy chip. The speed of the work and the amount of feed of the
tool should be as great as the tool will stand. When you take a roughing cut on
steel, cast iron, or any other metal that has a scale on its surface , be sure to
set the tool deep enough to get under the scale in the first cut. Unless you do, the
scale on the metal will dull or break the point of the tool. Rough machine the
work to almost the finished size; then take careful measurements.

Finish Turning
When you have rough turned the work to within about 1/32 inch of the finished size, take a finishing
cut. A fine feed, the proper lubricant, and, above all, a keen-edged tool is necessary to produce a
smooth finish. Measure carefully to be sure you are machining the work to the proper dimension.
Stop the lathe when you take measurements if you must finish the work to close tolerances, be
sure the work is not hot when you take the finish cut. If you turn the work piece to exact size when
it is hot, it will be undersize when it has cooled.
Perhaps the most difficult operation in machine work is to make accurate measurements. So much
depends on the accuracy of the work that you should make every effort to become proficient in the
use of measuring instruments.

Drilling
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole in solid materials. The drill
bit is a multipoint, end cutting tool. It cuts by applying pressure and rotation to the work
piece, which forms chips at the cutting edge.

Hobbing
Hobbing uses a hobbing machine with two non-parallel spindles, one mounted with a blank work piece and the other
with the hob. The angle between the hob's spindle and the work piece's spindle varies ,depending on the type of
product being produced. For example, if a spur gear is being produced, then the hob is angled equal to the helix
angle of the hob; if a helical gear is being produced then the angle must be increase by the same amount as the
helix angle of the helical gear. The two shafts are rotated at a proportional ratio, which determines the number of
teeth on the blank; for example, if the gear ratio is 40:1 the hob rotates 40 times to each turn of the blank, which
produces 40 teeth in the blank. Note that the previous example only holds true for a single threaded hob; if the
hob has multiple threads then the speed ratio must be multiplied by the number of threads on the hob. The hob is
then fed up into work piece until the correct tooth depth is obtained. Finally the hob is fed into the workpiece
parallel to the blank's axis of rotation .
Up to five teeth can be cut into the workpiece at the same time.
Oftentimes multiple gears are cut at the same time.
For larger gears the blank is usually gashed to the rough shape to make hobbing easier
.

Welding
The arc welding makes arcs between a material and a welding rod.
And it is a well used welding method. In the arc welding, we use a torch with a
welding rod. And both of the material and the welding rod are meant in the arc.
The arc welding is very high speed, and if the welding is very well, the strength is
very high. But the arc is very light, then we cannot see the welding processes. All
weldings, including the arc welding, need higher technique than cutting
processings, because we do not have the same conditions.

Grinding
Grinding practice is a large and diverse area of tool making. It can produce very fine finishes and very accurate
dimensions; yet in mass production contexts it can also rough out large volumes of metal quite rapidly. It
is usually better suited to the machining of very hard materials than is "regular" machining (that is, cutting
larger chips with cuttin tools such as tool bits or milling cutters), and until recent decades it was the only
practical way to machine such materials as hardened steels. Compared to "regular" machining, it
is usually better suited to taking very shallow cuts, such as reducing a shaft's diameter by half a thousand
of an inch (thou).(1 thou == 25 um)
Technically, grinding is a subset of cutting, as grinding is a true metal cutting process. Each grain of abrasive
functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle), and shears a
tiny chip that is analogous to what would conventionally be called a "cut" chip (turning, milling, drilling,
tapping, etc.). However, among people who work in the machining fields, the termcuttingIs
oftenunderstood to refer to the macroscopic cutting operations, andgrindingis often mentally categorized
as a "separate" process. This is why the terms are usually used in contradistinction in shop-floor practice,
even though technically grinding is a subset of cutting.

Hardening & Tempering

Tempering is a heat treatment technique for metals, alloys and glass. tempering is done to "toughen" the metal by
transforming brittle martensite or bainite into a combination of ferrite and cementite. Precipitation hardening
alloys, like many grades of aluminium and super alloys, are tempered to precipitate inter metallic particles which
strengthen the metal. Tempering is accomplished by a controlled reheating of the work piece to a temperature
below its lower critical temperature.
The brittle martensite becomes tough and ductile after it is tempered. Carbon atoms were trapped in the austenite
when it was rapidly cooled, typically by oil or water quenching, forming the martensite. The martensite becomes
strong after being tempered because when reheated, the microstructure can rearrange and the carbon atoms
can diffuse out of the distorted body-centred-tetragonal (BCT) structure. After the carbon diffuses, the result
is nearly pure ferrite with body-centred structure.
In metallurgy, there is always a trade-off between strength and ductility. Precise control of time and temperature
during the tempering process are critical to achieve a metal with well balanced mechanical properties.
