ABSTRACT: manufacturing process, variations in the quality

Quality checking is an important process that of the product can be kept reasonably stable.

we see a major reliance on correctness of product. In PART LIST:
this project we focus on quality checking of product. 1) Camshaft 2) Camshaft Stand 3) Actuators

We acquired primary checking skills that provided us III. PARTS TO BE BROUGHT OUT
an opportunity to make this project. 1. CAMSHAFT:
For each component, we created a detailed
engineering working drawing that helped to shape
and construct all the operations and procedures that
must be undertaken and controlled to attain
component checking without any obstruct the
product. Through this project, we discovered many
different factors involved in checking and the effects
they exhibited on the quality of a part. The main Fig 1 - Camshaft

V. ADVANTAGE: (3rded) New Delhi Laxmi Publications P107
I. LESS COST:
In this project we not use Hydraulic System. Due to that
the overall cost of device is less.

II. SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION:

The construction of machine is simple because of very
less number of parts as compare to hydraulic device.
III. EASY TO USE:
The device is electrically operated. Therefore It is easy
to use.
IV. MORE INSPECTION ABILITY:
Large number of camshaft’s can be easily inspected as
compare to traditional method of inspection by using
this device.
V. PLUS ADVANTAGE:
By using this device we are combining a two processes
i.e. oil hole cleaning and testing.
VI. APPLICATION:
1. This project is specially made for camshaft oil hole
testing .
2. This can be used at inspected in the foundry of
camshaft manufacturing company.,
3. This project is also used for maintenance at the
service centers.
4. This is also use full for automobile company who buy
the cam shaft from Vender Company
VII. CONCLUSION
To detect accurate hole size of camshaft with short
period of time to avoid rejection and other problems
which may come in future.
In order to great deal of attention is devoted to the
avoid rejection & time decrement of overall measuring
process. With based on technical finding this cam shaft oil
hole testing equipment is economic.
