Kannappa
Forgings has grown along with the industry in
gaining technical expertise with the use of advanced
CAD software's. Though we have a long history
dating prior to the advent of CAD, we have all
along equipped ourselves to be in tune with the
market requirements in the areas of drafting,
designing and simulation. |
| All
our component drawings, die layouts and process
drawings are digitized. |
| We
have a centralized engineering department which
issues all controlled drawing to various users across
plants. |
| We
use AutoCAD 2000 for making our component layouts,
die layouts and process drawings. All these documents
are digitally stored. |
| We
use modeling software Pro/Engineer Wildfire, Unigraphics
and master cam. These software are used for component
modeling. |

We
have a battery of Unigraphics stations which are
used for die design. The component modeling is
also done with the same software. The tooling
is designed and NC code is generated in Unigraphics.
The NC code is then verified for collisions using
vericut. The codes are transferred to the high
speed vertical machining centres for direct machining
of die impressions. |
| This
has resulted in surprisingly low lead times for
development of new products as well as surprisingly
high die throughput. |
