Improvisation and Modification in Gearbox Components to Expedite Production | Chapter 9 | Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 2

Agriculture is one of the main occupations in India. For that, a lot of machines are required. As the demand is increasing day by day, the tractor industry has planned to upgrade its system and work culture along with the manufacturing techniques. During this process, the company has decided to improvise their products.  As a part of the background study which needs to be done for this study, design and manufacturing of the gear box has been studied and has been noticed that some improvisations can be done in the manufacturing part as the turning operation is taking way much longer time than any other operation in the process. Turning operations of input shaft and lay shaft has been taken into consideration to expedite the production. This study aims at the manufacturing of input shaft and the lay shaft. Aiming to increase the production, an attempt has been made to improvise the CNC codes for faster production and also to improvise the work culture and operation techniques.
