Tool Design and Development

In-house tool design and development with latest CAD Software.
Rapid Prototyping
State-of-the-art CNC Wire Cut Machines for achieving surface finish upto 5 microns on cutting elements.
Competency of manufacturing tools from variety of materials like HSS, Carbide, Venadis, Powder Metallurgy, etc.
Different types of Coating and Treatments for tool elements to increase performance and achieve better edge quality.

We have developed tooling technology for shaving of edges for reducing the shear zone upto 20% of material thickness, which is close to fine blanking.

Wire Cut Machines

16 Stage Progressive Tool

Blanking and Forming

Gala is equipped with presses having capacity up to 250 tons (2500 KN). The presses are attached with automatic De-coiling. Straightening and feeding arrangements. Photo Sensors are installed for elimination mis-blanking. The punching capacity is from thickness 0.1 (0.0039") to 10 mm (0.23").

State of the art Multi-slide machines ensure we meet stringent bending tolerances as per customer's specifications.

Coiling

CNC Wafios Machines from Germany
Fully automated line with in-built SPCC software
Minimum Spring index 2.7
Suitable for coiling of Wire Diameters from 0.5 to 7 mm
Colour sorter and in-built camera for detection, length variation and control
Software iQbestspeed for automatically detecting the ideal production speed and process safety of the springs to be produced
High productivity upto 125 parts per minute

Heat treatment

With years of experience in handling Spring steel and Stainless steel materials, Gala has optimized heat treatment process. Based on grade of steel and end application, Gala offers various options of heat treatment.

Austempering
Case Hardening
Vacuum Hardening
Induction Hardening
Martensitic Hardening
Nitriding
Annealing
Stress Relieving

Shot Peening

Wheelabrator shot peening machine with magna valve ensures optimum flow of shots and consistent shot peening with residual stress induction level upto - 600 MPA resulting in high fatigue life
Cartridge type dust extraction system with secondary filter ensures emission level of less than 2 mg/Nm3 of outgoing air
Variable speed drive for wheel and belt ensures optimum control over the process

Surface Finishing

Based on 30 years of experience in surface engineering, we offer components with fine surface finish - Ra value up to 0.05 microns. This finishing process also ensures uniform edge radius for smooth assembly and movement of parts inside assembly.

Spring Grinding and Chamfering

Our technologically advanced CNC grinding and chamfering machine gives precise grinding with respect to parallelism, flatness and perpendicularity of the ground surface
High speed machines with automatic conveyor and auto loading system saves time and increases productivity
Servomotor is used in end grinding machine for downfeed arrangement of grinding wheel for precise grinding
Machine is equipped with environment friendly dust collection system
Online surface inspection is done after grinding

Scragging and Load Testing

Multi-station Automatic Scragging (Presetting) and Load testing machine Automatic sorting of springs with respect to Load at particular height

Inspection and Quality Control

From stringent testing like material test, micro structure and hardness test post heat treatment, dimensional accuracy, parallelism, flatness and fatigue test are a few test parameters checked at every stage. Data from raw material testing, online testing during production processes and sample testing is compiled and analysed. Any deviations are corrected using cause-effect methods so that each outgoing product is of optimum quality
