Introduction

CAD-CENTRIC specializes in the development of one off, special purpose machines, that normally require the integration of mechanics, fluid power and control as well as electrical/electronic systems We also provide automation solutions which can integrate into your existing production processes

We pride ourselves on our ability to offer quality, well engineered, high performance custom designed machinery, built on time and on budget.

Comprehensive manufacturing facilities and a large assembly area allow us to build and commission a variety of equipment from stand alone single operator machines through to multi-station production cells.

  • Automated Material Handling Systems
  • Parameter Checking Systems
  • SPM for specific manufacturing process
  • Assembly Automation Solutions
  • Material Handling Systems for NDT Applications

Project - Cage Folding Machine.
Job Specification M2EL Cage used in sliding unit of seating system for automobile vehicles.
Application To reduce the flap stiffness of M2EL cage by continuous opening & closing action of the flap (near about 30 times).

Assembly of sliding unit in seating system gets easier with reduced flap stiffness.

Project - Hose cable Assembly cum Inspection Station.
Job Specification Hose Cables for washer system of automobile car.
Material- PVC Cristal, Dia. 7mm & length up to 4.5 m
Application Assembly station for grommets and tapes on hose cable.Verification of tape and grommet position by electronic control.These tape marked hose cables are routed according to tape positions in the washer system of Automobile car.
Challenges
  • Hose cable clamping by pneumatic application.
  • Route the cable such way that total length of cables should be within limits.
  • Sense the grommets and tapes with respective positions and presence to be detected by the sensors.
  • Unless all sensors and grommets are in position, hose cables should not be de clamped

Project - CNG Cylinder Handling System For Ultrasonic Testing
Job Specification Diameter Range : 232mm - 400mm.
Length : 700mm to 2000mm
Application Detection of cracks and defects in CNG cylinder by using ultrasonic testing.
Challenges
  • Single system was to be designed to facilitate ultrasonic testing of five different types of cylinders.
  • Along the cylinder length, the traverse of the testing probe was linear. However, the cylinders were rounded at ends. These convex shaped neck & bottom were also to be inspected.

Project - RTR Boom For Welding Flaw Detection For Pipes
Job Specification Diameter Range : 400mm - 1500mm
Length : 12.5 m – 16 m
Application X-ray testing of the linear welding of the pipes.
Challenges
  • The x-ray tube was to be fitted at the loose end of the boom in cantilever fashion.
  • The boom had to be adjustable along two axis to accommodate varying pipe diameters.
  • The linearity of the cantilever boom was not to exceed 20mm over length of 14.5m.

Project - Thermal Cycle Test Unit
Job Specification Test Components encased in glass vials of 15mm dia.
Length : 150mm
Application Repetitive high temperature exposure to test components to study their behavior.
Challenges
  • Along with test components, the holding wire was also exposed to high temperature & then it was forced cooled. The wire had to be inert to all these conditions.

Project - Washing System with Potassium Dichromate treatment & Emulsion treatment.
Job Specification File Variants - Flat , Triangular , Half Round
File Sizes -4” – 14”
Application Conveyor System For Washing ,Potassium Dichromate Treatment & Emulsion treatment after sand blasting operation
Challenges
  • Transfer of files from Sand Blasting machines to Washing System was a challenge because of plant layout. The files entering washing conveyor were to have specific orientation.
  • All the minute sand particles had to be removed from files before they entered Potassium Dichromate treatment chamber.
  • All residue of Potassium Dichromate was to be washed from file serrations before it entered the emulsion treatment.

Project - Auto Feeder For Sandblasting Machine
Job Specification File Variants :- Flat , Triangular , Half Round
File Sizes:-6” – 14”
Application Automation for feeding files in existing Sand Blasting unit.
Challenges :
  • Files were to be picked up from random bulk, one at a time. These were then to be loaded one after another.
  • Target price did not allow pick & place mechanism.
  • A single system was to handle all file variants.
