High-precision geometry control THE precise manufacturing of

system can be mounted with up to four cameras. The measuring and work- holding device can be individually adapted to the operational requirements and the different sizes of workpiece to be measured. A wide range of items can be measured, including diameters, ovality, eccentricity and wall thickness.

GKS high-precision optical geometry measuring system. At first glance the operator notices if the dimensions of the workpiece are still within the given tolerances, so he can quickly respond to the deviation by readjusting the manufacturing process or by stopping it. By doing so, it is ensured that the given tolerances are maintained, scrap is avoided and the manufacturing process is optimised. Depending on the workpiece size, the measuring

single components is crucial for the optimal functioning of a system. The smallest deviations must be quickly recognised and corrected. Monitoring manufacturing processes by means of the latest measuring systems represents a key issue for quality assurance. The measurement of single component geometry can be performed with the ‘Geometry-Control-System’

Open die forgings SANGHVI’S free forging plant is now in operation and the company claims it is one of the most modern in India.

allows for the forging of up to 40MT under strict quality inspection and third-party surveillance. The infrastructure is ready for a capacity of 15,000MT per year. Sanghvi Forging & Engineering Ltd – India Email: contact@sanghviforge.com Website: www.sanghviforge.com

As well as the existing forging press – with an installed capacity of 3,600MT per year – the recently commissioned four-column 4,500TF hydraulic press is now in operation. The manipulator, on a 20m track, can handle 60MT of hot ingots during forging. Five car bottom furnaces have been installed for heat treatment facilitation. The newly installed capacity

Sanghvi has gained considerable experience with closed die forgings in all steels over the years. New opportunities are offered to international customers, with back-up offered from a dedicated technical and commercial team.
