EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The start of organized sector of the Indian machine tool industry took place in early years of the

Second World War. Due to non-availability of imported machine tools, few British owned

general engineering firms took up their manufacturing in India. 1950 was considered as an era

which brought public investments in this industry. These two initial phases of development of

the Indian machine tool industry saw the production of general purpose machine tools most of

which were produced under technical assistance from foreign collaborators. The recent decrease

in imports of machine tools was partly attributed to the growing competitiveness of Indian firms,

so this issue has greater relevance to a large number of SMEs in the sector, where a large number

of enterprises are manufacturing tiny and small component. It was visualized that in addition to

building volumes, the SMEs would also have to upgrade their products and processes in terms oftechnology and quality in order to remain competitive at both local and global markets. Thus, the

machine tool industry faced the dilemma of whether to remain as finished product supplier and

face competition from large volume players or become sub -suppliers of components and / or sub

-systems to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

UNITED PRECISION TOOLINGS started production in the year 2006 Company has

transformed themselves from a manufacturing unit to a multi dimensional industrial engineering

tool manufacturing corporation. By meeting the needs of rapidly increasing industrial sector andcatering to its every demand, they have been growing and evolving in new direction. Their

manufacturing expertise covers a wide range of cutting tools and precise engineering tools. UPT

Industries is a leading manufacturer and suppliers of high quality engineering tools and have

been supplying to over 500 companies since 2006.

Revolution in The technology over past decade

Computer numerical control machining(CNC machining), refers to a computer controller that readscode and instructions and drives a machining tool in order to make a product according to specific

requirements. Imagine a robot that can make several different products based on a specific set of

instructions given to it. A CNC machine works this way. Its like a robot that can make things exactly

the way you want. CNC machining is unison between the world of software and the world of

manufacturing. It brings both disciplines together and produces output as efficiently and effectively as

possible. It is unlikely that any time or energy will be wasted using this kind of technology.

UPT started its empire with 3 types of machinery Turners, millings, grindings. They had these tools

to manufacture equipments like.

Boring Head Boring Tool CAT Collet Coolant Series

DAT Drill Chuck Edge Finder ER EOC

HSK TG Milling Chuck Straight Shank Series

The raw material is in the

form of round rods of

different diameters which is

cut into pieces as per the

needs. Initially they had the

manual application of

cutting of the rods. In 2008

they introduced the cutting

machine which helped in

cutting the metals in shortest

period of time.

Turner machine: after the metal is but the

metal pieces are been put into the turner

machines to mould and shape the metal as per

the orders. Initially they had the turner

machines of single dimension (the machine

which shapes only one kind of shape) later they

introduced the newer

version of the turnerswhich had advanced

technology of molding

the metal in different

size. They use to get orders for manufacturing metals like HSK,

TG ,Milling Chuck, Straight Shank Series.

Later on they started getting orders for the products like

DAT, Drill Chuck, Edge Finder, ER,EOC.

Milling machines: these are the machines which dig the holes.

Since the beginning they had this technology of drilling the metal

In 2009 they introduced another milling machine. They are not using

the higher version of this

category because thesemachines cater their needs

accordingly.

GrindingMachines: these are the machines which smoothens the metal surface. They have two types of

grinding machines external grinding machines and internal grinding machines. External grinding

machines smoothens the outer surface; top surface &

bottom surface of the metal where as the internal grinding

machines smoothens the

inner surface of the

metal.

For all of the above machinery they uses typical oil called collect which is a mixture of a chemical and

water. This helps in smooth cutting of the metal.

External Grinding machine

Internal grinding machine
