Car Body Structure Design & Manufacturing

HFGW will design and simulate the Crashworthiness of Carbody and in compliance with all sort of major Specs. The design will be Validated through MBD & FEA tests. The Material which will be used will also share the technical data sheet along with the Strength & Chemical Composition W.R.T 35 years of Lifespan.

Procedure To Maintain Quality For Shell Items

Underframe:

  • Using Special Spray For Avoid Spatters
  • Using Pure Gas For Avoid Pin Hall And Porrosity
  • For Welding Quality Using Best Consumables Like Esab Brand And Equivalent Products
  • Using Special Welding Machine Like Esab / Lincoln

Sidewall:

  • After Laser Welding We Conduct Die Penetration Test For Welding Quality
  • After Gun Spot Welding Conduct Chiesel Test For Spot Welding Quality Maintain
  • Avoid Excessive Heat Input

Roof:

  • After Spot Welding Conduct Chiesel Test For Spot Welding Quality Maintain
  • Avoid Excessive Heat Input

Endwall:

  • Die Penetration Test Conduct For Welding Joints

Shell Units:

  • The unit, spread over 8190 SQ.MT, has a capacity to make 100 Carbody per month. Depending on demand, the capacity can be expanded to manufacture 350+ Carbody per month at the facility.

We are following above mention standards and test.

General Procedures to Maintain Quality

Raw Material Inspection

Inspect the raw materials before the manufacturing process. The inspection should include checking the quality of the raw materials, whether they are free from defects, cracks, or damage that could affect the final product's quality.

Quality Control during Production

Checking for proper handling of materials, accurate measurements, and proper assembly of parts. This will ensure that the product is being manufactured as per the quality standards

Regular Maintenance of Equipment

Regular maintenance of equipment used in the manufacturing process, such as cutting machines, polishing machines.

Training and Development

Regular training and development of employees can improve their knowledge and skills, as well as their understanding of the importance of maintaining quality.

Inspection of Finished Products

Third party Like RITES inspection has done for final products.

Procedure For Assembly Of Carbody

Stage 1

First Underframe is loaded inside fixture & additional STOPPER / SUPPORT are applied from outside.

Stage 2

Endwall is fixed on both NPP and PP End and its welded after giving a support from ADJUSTABLE TIE ROD.

Stage 3

Sidewall is fitted on underframe and its supported by ADJUSTABLE TIE ROD & ADDITIONAL SUPPORT CLAMPS from outside, at the end the door cutout is fitted and welded.

Stage 4

Roof in the last part to be mounted on Sidewall and its welded by adjusting the Carline and Sidewall with the help of the ADJUSTABLE TIE ROD & ADDITIONAL SUPPORT CLAMPS. Once it is done then FLAT ROOF is loaded and welded.
