Research & Development

A state of the Art Dedicated R&D Centre is presently under construction which will spread over 4000 Square Meters & will serve as the backbone of our new direction. The R&D center will also house Naya Energy’s R&D Division. The 5 Key Areas of the R&D Division are as below:

A number of new material chemistries have been worked on during the many R&D Projects to assess the material compositions & applications of newer metals. The New Energy Era has led to a number of opportunities & rise to newer applications of conventional metals with innovative manufacturing processes.

A number of key areas of R&D are as follow:

  • Fatigue Analysis of Steels (Stainless steel alloys, Aluminium, Titanium, etc)
  • Durability & Analysis of Failure (Root Cause Analysis, etc)
  • New Raw Material Selection & Process Development
  • Selection of Raw Material
  • Modelling and simulation of Heat Treatment Processes

The crankshafts are forged in our 16000 T hammer / 8000 T Press as per requirement & customer specification.

We use a number of additive manufacturing methodologies for rapid prototyping & New Product Development. This ensures flexibility & Speed in the New Product Development process & ensures a rapid development of New Prototypes

The Use of 3D Scanning also adds efficiency & speeds up the entire design & development Process. The In-House Infrastructure for 3D Scanning can measure up to 5 Million Points in 2 Seconds & 7-20pm Accuracy.

The Additive Manufacturing Centre also formulates a good foundation for our company’s foray in the Aerospace Industry with a large product portfolio that now is possible by the Additive Manufacturing Methodology.

3D printing also is a key area as part of our In-House Tool Room Strategy as key components from the Manufacturing Process can now be produced In-House in the 3D Printing Center.

The Machining Facilities are well supported with State-of-the-Art Infrastructure namely:

  • Comprehensive In-House Tool Room
  • Metallurgical Labs
  • Design & Process Facilities
  • Inspection & Tests Facilities

The R&D complements the above excellence by further enhancing the existing capability of our company. The Three Key Pillars that are now possible in the R&D Center:

New Product & Process Development

  • Development of New Material Chemistries for the New Energy Era
  • Gear Manufacturing
  • Assembly Services & Testing

Technology Enhancement

  • Ultrasonic Machining
  • High Speed Grinding
  • 4-Axis & 5-Axis Machining
  • Rapid Prototyping

Analysis

  • Tool Wear Analysis
  • Fracture Analysis
  • Grain Deformation
  • Force & Temp
  • Durability & Fatigue
  • Cost Saving

All our facilities are being powered by Renewable Energy Sources as part of our strategy to drastically reduce our carbon footprint.

There is a continuous focus in the below areas:

  • Design and Development of new products and processes.
  • Modelling and Simulation of Metal Forming processes.
  • Deformation studies and associated metallurgical analysis of Alloys.
  • Process improvements/ Cost optimization in Metal Forming Process.
  • Product life assessment through Fatigue & Fracture studies.

A key focus is Aluminium as part of the light metals that have seen a surge in demand in the New Energy Vehicles.
