Indigenous Development of World-Class Universal Machining Centre:

A National Dream Come True

Scope/ Objective:

The project aims at developing a universal machining center having Collaborative Technology
5-axis simultaneous machining capability for a variety of heavy as
well as large part machining in a minimal time, with the following Development with Jyoti
scopes.
CNC
1. Development of Hydrostatic Rotary table with hydrostatic bearing
and flow controller with a load carrying capacity of 10000 kg, 5 axis CNC machines found in India
positioning accuracy of 10 arc sec with maximum rotating speed of are mostly imported and very few
250 rpm. manufacturers in India make them. With

2. Design and development of gear drive system for the rotary table. the MX16 5-axis CNC machine, the need
for import of such sophisticated machines
3. Incorporation of thermal compensation strategy for further fine- will be eliminated with drastically
tuning of the machine. decreasing the overall cost of the machine.

Project Overview: Manufacturing of such machines comes
with its own challenges like the

The MX multifunction machining center is a high flexibility development of critical parts and its
machine enabling machining operations for heavy and large work assembly. One of the critical parts of the
piece. The machine can perform 5 sides machining, simultaneous 5 machine tool is the rotary table and its
axes machining and variety of turning operations incorporating bearings which will bear the load of the
heavy duty rough machining and accurate finish machining in a workpiece while providing high stiffness,
single setup. Machine ensures very high accuracy in contouring and stability and accuracy during machining.
profiles for light alloy machining (like Aluminium) to hard material Hydrostatic rotary tables provide very high
machining in a minimal time. There is flexibility to adapt different accuracy, stiffness with minimal friction
requirement by using large automatic tool changer (ATC), APC and and power thus Development of
other automation systems. hydrostatic rotary table will enable the

indigenous developments will ensure 5-axis machining capability
with high precision and vastly improves productivity and precision
by reducing machining cycle times and setup errors.
