UCAM Nimble Machines Drive to Commitment for Quality Gear Manufacturing Solutions
MAIN CAPTION
Nimble Machines was established with the vision of providing innovative gear manufacturing
solutions that are productive, precise and rigid.
Introduction
Having over 30 years of rich expertise in manufacturing sophisticated & technologically advanced CNC machines, UCAM launched a strategic business vertical in 2015 under the brand name “Nimble Machines”. Nimble Machines offers high-speed CNC gear manufacturing solutions. Their portfolios consist of CNC gear hobbing machines- VAJRA 130, VAJRA 250 and VAJRA 400 capable of up to 8 modules and 400mm diameter.
Nimble Machines also manufactures TARANG-325, a 5 axis CNC spiral bevel gear generator machine. It is capable of machining gears up to 7 modules and 325mm diameter using a face milling method.
World Class Facility
Nimble machines manufacturing facility is located in a lush green facility in the Industrial town of Dobaspet on the outskirts of Bangalore. Consisting of a state of the art manufacturing facility with features such as Dust proof, energy efficient, pressurized air conditioning and the best in world 5-axis machining centers, Horizontal Machining Centers, Vertical Machining Centers , Vertical Turning Lathe etc. among others. The precise and consistent control of temperature is very important in terms of product quality and process efficiency.
High quality inspection equipment and practices play a vital role in inspecting high precise parts which go into the VAJRA gear hobbing machines for achieving high repeatability and accuracy of up to DIN 7 class. Nimble Machines facility consist of equipment such as laser calibration equipment, auto-collimator, CMMs and roundness tester among others. Every part is being inspected to adhere to the tight tolerances and achieve the best quality output.
This section address the high skill and superior Practices followed by NM
Nimble machines consist of a passionate, highly skilled and efficient assembly team backed with the rich experience of manufacturing industry leading UCAM’s Rotary tables among other CNC machines. As part of quality assurance programs, each machine undergoes laser calibration and documentation to ensure they are working to the best of their ability and improved accuracy, efficiency and yield. This enables the machine geometry and alignment to adhere to the latest IS: 8407 acceptance conditions for gear hobbing machines.
To further enhance the quality, productivity and improvement of work, 5S has been implemented and followed. This further helps the organization to strengthen Total productive Maintenance (TPM).
Conclusion
Nimble machines’ drive to quality gear-related solutions is a long standing testament to their in-house excellence.
