The aim of the project is to improve the productivity of ISX flywheel housings in Gravity die casting in TVS Sundaram Clayton, Padi. Study of pressure die-casting and gravity die-casting processes was done in the first few weeks. The different types of flywheel housings produced by gravity die-casting were thoroughly studied. The flow process of ISX flywheel housing was noted and charts were made based on the data collected for clear understanding. Analysis of cycle time and current production processes through various tools was done. Improving the flow rate was the key operation to be carried out. The capacity of the existing hydraulic powerpack was increased after performing various calculations. Hoses were replaced. Regeneration circuits have been used instead of the existing normal setup for the purpose of opening and closing the dies which is the bottleneck in the sequential processes carried out. Payback calculations was done and comparison of productivity before and after the implementation of the various crucial steps was depicted and it is clear that the productivity rate is significantly increased.
