Case Study - Replacement of International Make Gearbox for Terra equipments Pvt Ltd.

1 . Background

Terra equipments Pvt Ltd, a reputable engineering company, experienced a significant challenge when their international-make gearbox failed. The manufacturer’s extended replacement time of 5 to 6 weeks was too long, as they were facing a major production breakdown and needed an urgent solution. Further complicating the situation was the unique mounting arrangement of the existing gearbox, which meant a direct replacement was not readily available off-the-shelf.

2 . Objective

The primary goal was to deliver a one-to-one replacement for the failed gearbox within a significantly reduced timeframe, ensuring minimal downtime for the client’s operations and adapting the unit to fit the existing mounting configuration.

3 . Approach

To meet the client’s urgent need, we initiated a swift and customized engineering response. Our approach centered around designing and creating a bespoke gearbox that would match the specifications of the international make. The primary steps included:

Conducting a detailed analysis of the broken gearbox and the specific requirements for the PAN MIXER application it served. Innovating a wooden pattern design that would allow for the rapid production of the new gearbox.

4 . Implementation

With a clear understanding of the requirements, we quickly moved forward with the implementation phase:

Our team expedited the design process, ensuring that every aspect of the international make’s specifications was meticulously replicated in the wooden pattern.

We adjusted our production workflow to prioritize the manufacturing of the custom gearbox, ensuring that we could commit to a delivery time of 2 to 3 weeks. Throughout the process, we carefully considered the client’s unique mounting arrangement, modifying the new gearbox design to ensure a seamless integration with their existing setup.
