Tractor-A brief introduction

A wheeled, self-propelled vehicle for hauling other vehicles or equipment and for operating the towed implements; also, a crawler, which runs on an endless, self-laid track and performs similar functions

. A farm tractor is a multipurpose power unit. It has a drawbar for drawing tillage tools and a power takeoff device for driving implements or operating a belt pulley. The acreage to be worked, type of crops grown, and the terrain all impose their requirements on tractor design. Accordingly, models vary in such details as power generated, weight, ground clearance, turning radius, and facilities for operating equipment. All models can, however, be grouped under four general types: fourwheel, row-crop or high-wheel, tricycle, and crawler.

Tractors are rated by their horsepower they deliver at the drawbar and at the belt. On small models, the drawbar and belt horsepower may run as low as 10 (7.5 kW); on large models the drawbar horsepower runs as high as 132 (98 kW), while belt horsepower reaches about 144 (107 kW). The major components are engine, clutch, and transmission. These components are intimately related and designed to work in conjunction with each other to accomplish specific work. Tractor engines are relatively
9

low-speed; their maximum horsepower is generated at crankshaft speeds in the neighborhood of 2000 rpm. These engines have one, two, three, four, six, or eight cylinders and operate on gasoline, kerosene, liquid petroleum gas, or diesel fuel. They are of the spark-ignition or diesel type, operating on the four-stroke-cycle principle, and are cooled by water or air. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels or to all four wheels. Drive to the front wheels is mechanical or hydrostatic, its purpose being to increase drawbar pull at the will of the operator. Transmissions have 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, or 12 forward speeds and one or two reverse gears. Clutch less hydraulic transmissions are also used, making it possible to shift gears while in motion. Vehicle speeds are low, ranging from slightly more than 1 mi/h (1.6 km/s) to about 18 mi/h (28 km/h) in high gear. The basic design of an industrial tractor for hauling and for operating construction equipment departs little from that of a farm tractor, and differences in design of models fit the vehicle to its intended work. Because high ground clearance is not needed for industrial work, the tractor is commonly built with a lower center of gravity and is capable of traveling a few miles per hour faster than a farm tractor. If its use is confined to hauling, it may not be equipped with hydraulic power. If it is to be used for operating a scraper, backhoe, or front-end loader, its structure may be heavier and more rugged.

Quality Control
"To us at Sonalika Group, Quality is not something that we engineer, inspect and input into our tractors. It is an innate desire to attain the best that comes from within each of us. It defines our lives at work and at home and ripples out into the world around us".

Q.C. shop firstly we are talk about what is the quality control? It is Systematic control of those variables encountered in a manufacturing process, which affect the excellence of the product. Such variable result from the Application of material, men, machine and manufacture-ring conditions only when these variables are regulated to the extent that they do not detract unit is main shop of sonalika international tractor ltd .In necessarily from the excellent of the ring-ring process as reflected in the quality of the finished product, can the control of quality be said to exist. Generally, inspection, which is the process of sorting good from bad, is the process of sorting good from bad, is considered as a form of quality control. But quality control and inspect-ion are different. Conceptually, a Q.C. aim of prevention of defects at the very source relies on effective held back system and corrective action procedure. Acceptance of material after subjecting them to in section at inward goods store is inspection concept. Q.C.concept is to take early step to ensure that the material to be supplied is going to be manufactured to the plant's requirements. So as to ultimately eliminate the in ward goods inspection. Discovering that the components produced are not as per required dimensional specifications due to wrong tool or improper settling after the production is over is inspection concept.

35

To prevent the issue of a wrong tool and to have a set up approval procedure prior to starting continuous production and keeping a simple check during production, are Q.C. concepts. Q.C.uses inspection as a valuable tool. In quality control programmed inspection data are effectively used to take prompt corrective actions to arrest the incidence of defects in the job on hand to plan the prevention of occurrence of the same or similar defects in future.
