HOW JCB MACHINE WORKS
The Basic Idea of hydraulics:
The basic idea behind any hydraulic system is very simple: Force that is applied at one point is
transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid. The fluid is almost always an oil of
some sort. The force is almost always multiplied in the process.
If two pistons fit into two glass cylinders filled with oil and connected to one another with an oil-
filled pipe. If you apply a downward force to one piston (suppose the left one ), then the force is
transmitted to the second piston through the oil in the pipe. Since oil is incompressible, the
efficiency is very good – almost all of the applied force appears at the second piston. The great
thing about hydraulic systems is that the pipe connecting the two cylinders can be any length and
shape, allowing it to snake through all sorts of things separating the two pistons. The pipe can also
fork, so that one master cylinder can drive more than one slave cylinder if desired.
The neat thing about hydraulic systems is that it is very easy to add force multiplication (or
division) to the system. In a hydraulic system, all you do is change the size of one piston and
cylinder relative to the other, as shown here:
Hydraulic multiplication:
Suppose the piston on the right has a surface area nine times greater than the piston on the left.
When force is applied to the left piston, it will move nine units for every one unit that the right
piston moves, and the force is multiplied by nine on the right-hand piston.
To determine the multiplication factor, start by looking at the size of the pistons. Assume that the
piston on the left is 2 inches in diameter (1-inch radius), while the piston on the right is 6 inches in
diameter (3-inch radius).
The area of the two pistons is Pi * r2. The area of the left piston is therefore 3.14, while the area
of the piston on the right is 28.26.
The piston on the right is 9 times larger than the piston on the left. What that means is that any
force applied to the left-hand piston will appear 9 times greater on the right-hand piston. So if you
apply a 100-pound downward force to the left piston, a 900-pound upward force will appear on the
right.
The only catch is that you will have to depress the left piston 9 inches to raise the right piston 1
inch.

FLOW CHART
CYCLES OF MANUFACTURING UNITS
Logistics to fabrication :
• First of all, the machined sheets & pre-build parts (e.g., gear assy. Parts, rear axle
assy. Parts & engine etc.) are brought in the logistics area. These parts are given
by different vendors set by the company,(e.g., Engine by Kirloshkar etc.)
Then, according to the requirements :
• Metal sheets from which main frames, rear frames, Boomers/Dippers are to be
Welded are moved to fabrication shop.
• Engines parts are to be machined and moved to skid sub-assembly line and the gears
& rear –axle parts are moved to transmission line.
Fabrication Shop :
Paint Shop :
• In paint shop, all the components parts are moved and painted, then the
Painted parts are moved to main frame assembly line.
• At the backhoe assembly line, skid is dropped from the skid sub assembly line.
Skid Sub-Assembly Line: Assembled gear box & rear axle from transmission
Line are moved to skid sub-assembly line. Here, the engine is connected to the gear
Box & rear axle. Thus (skid=Engine + Rear axle + gear box).
• The main frame is then dropped on this skid and then assembly of backhoe starts.
• The main assembly line (A-Line) has 22 zones for each zone certain workload is divided,
just likewise in the main frame assembly line.
• The assembled Backhoe is then moved over to twin-slat line.
Twin-Slat Line :
• At twin-slat line firstly the booms & dippers coming from the Boom/Dipper Sub assembly.
Line is attached to the machine and then the different oil filling process in
the machine is done.
• The backhoe after being assembled in previous zones is moved to the PDI and testing
zone in which the full range of machine functioning (i.e., working of all the parts of the
machine; missing of any part, bolts or nuts;dismatching or defects in part of the machine
is checked).
• Then after, the machine is greased, washed & again goes on for the 45 minutes trial run.
• After that, all the machines parts are checked and if any part is missing or defected, then
the list of those parts are made. Then after, the machine goes on for the U.V.test by which
the lower portion of the machine is checked, whether any Leakage or defect in the hose
and feed pipes are not.
• After making the list of all the defects and deformities, the machine moves in the
reworking zone where all these remedies are solved.
• And, then after final washing, decal pastings & paint touch-ups ,the machine is green
signaled for dispatch.

PROJECT REPORT
LEAKAGE ANALYSIS
The aim of our project is to determine the causes of hydraulic leakage that is been
causing in the JCB Backhoe machine
As there are so many hose pipes and joints in the machine 100 % leak proof is not
possible
This leads to loss in efficiency , high maintenance cost and wastage of time
1. Motivation
In the present stage of my project I have done the first part of my project which is to
perform a hydraulic leakage analysis and the second part will be completed once
the work resumes in the company.
The project was important because it focuses on the hydraulic leakages in the
machine which is a very common problem face by the many companies making
such products. Hydraulic leakages is a very serious problem as it causes loss of
efficacy and increase the maintenance cost of the machine
In order to compete this problem I first did the careful analysis of the machine
identifying the critical hotspots were leakage contamination is very common and
after that I studied the process involve in the inspection zone where each machine
has to go through a dynamic and dry hump test
2. Literature Review
The project is divided into two parts in the first part the main objective is to determine the
areas prone to hydraulic leakages and methods and test performed to prevent them. In
the second part of the project is to find the root cause and eliminate the problem of
contamination and rust in the hydraulic feed pipes
Brief background
•The quality of the hydraulic system design and manufacturing plays a key role in the
entire machinery system. No leakage is one of the critical quality features that will ensure
the hydraulic system quality. Absolute leakage for any hydraulic and pneumatic system is
always present. Depending on intended application, a good or faulty system is defined by
the certain amount of leakage rate in a period of time.
Literature Survey
The hydraulic leakage generally includes two kinds of status: the external leakage and
internal leakage.
The external leakage often happens on the connection and seal position, such as the
connecting position between cylinder and tube, or the valve and tube. Faulty installation
and poor maintenance are the primary causes of external leakage. The excessive
pressures or contamination can cause seals to blow or be damaged. The leakage could
be caused by a gash, rust or other corrosion hole, a very tiny pinhole leak, crack or micro
crack, or inadequate sealing between components or parts joined together. For example,
the seal issue or the tiny pinholes can cause the leakage coming from hydraulic cylinder
and hydraulic rod. External leakage can be hazardous, expensive, and unsightly
The internal leakage often happens on hydraulic system interior. It can occur in the pump,
valves, and other moving parts such as the leakage between valve spool and valve
housing, leakage between two gears in gear pump, leakage between cylinder rod and
sleeve. Internal leakage almost can’t be avoided and it is more difficult to detect and
isolate. Partial internal leakage can act as a self-lubricate function, but too much internal
leakage will slow down actuators. The power loss is accompanied by the heat generated
at a leakage path. The clearance between two components is the key factor causing 15
internal leakage. It includes the fitting clearance and assembly clearance. The fitting
clearance indicates the manufacturing precision of single parts. The assembly clearance
indicates the process stability of assembly process. The minimum fitting and assembly
clearances are key parameters to ensure the internal leakage
2. Target Specifications
At the end of this project I am optimistic that I will have a better knowledge of the project
that I am undertaking hear at the industry. This will not only help me in my 8 semester
internship but in the long term when I pursue my career in mechanical field . The project
will help me to gain better insights on how a leakage analysis is being done.
MECHANISM INVOLVE IN HYDRAULIC
METHOLOGY OF ANALYSIS
Make up fluid
Disposal of waste oil
Contamination ingress
Decrease in machine efficiency
Increase of expenditure of the machine
Valve block
Excavator valve block - Evb mounting plates provides base on which valve block is fitted
then adapters which provide inlet and outlet for hydraulic oil . EVB is use for controlling
excavators buckets
When you move the joystick in a certain direction, it presses down on a particular piston. This
piston pushes oil through a hose to move the spool valve controlling a particular hydraulic ram. By
moving different spools, you extend or retract different hydraulic pistons
When we move the lever this will lead to an upward and downward motion of the spool
resulting in the matching of the oil galleries and the flow of oil to hydraulic circuit
resulting in the motion of the hydraulic arm
When the spool is in neutral position the higher diameter of the spool is placed between the
upward gally 1 which will block the flow of oil and force it to flow through the neutral
gally and the because of the circular structure of the valve block the oil will pass through
the gally to the tank
When we move the lever the spool of smaller diameter will come in contact with the
upward gally resulting in some clearance causing hydraulic oil to move to gally1 to the
hydraulic arm and then the return pipe will lead the oil to the lower gally to the return
hydraulic tank.
Loader valve bucket
Purpose – when we perform a certain loading application with the front loader arm .
There are two stages to raise the bucket arm in stage 1 the front loader arm lifts up and in
stage 2 the bucket lifts up so during the transition from stage 1 to stage 2 there is a certain
delay of 2 to 3 sec in the hydraulic pump to supply necessary pressure which cause a
sudden downward motion of the bucket and can cause accidents so in order to avoid such
accident loader valve is used
working – during stage 1 the pump feed oil which passes through the loader valve the
metallic ball move upwards causing the oil flow to the hydraulic arm. During the
transitions period when the bucket tends to move down there is a reverse flow of oil to
the pump which is stopped by the loader valve. The valve disconnects the pump to the
hydraulic arm until necessary pressure is created by the pump to lift the bucket
Major joints of leakages
Front axle arm EVB to boom dipper bucket arm hydraulic tank to pump
Gear pump to hydraulic cooler hose to lift ram EVB hose to boom ram
Major causes of leakages
Leakages due to improper torqueing
Leakages due to manufacturing defects
Leakages due to defects because of man power
Leakages due to contamination of oil
INSPECTION ZONE
It is quite inevitable a proper inspection technique as most of the leakage occur due to
operator negligence
Method to significantly reduce the number of leakage points during assembly line is
introduction of inspection zone
This inspection zone include the point where the cab is placed to where the loader arm is
set in the framework
In this zone, all the fastenings of the machines are checked whether some bolts are
missing, then all the errors are rectified.
If in any tank ,the oil is less than the required oil is filled according to the need.
Then the machine goes in the greasing zone where different portion are greased using
CASTROL grease.
WASHING BAY :
Washing chemical : HENKEL-P3T768
With the help of this chemical the washing of the hole machine is done. After that, the
machine goes for a 45 minutes trial run in which it is used harshly to check all the
functioning of the machine.
Ultraviolet dyes are an effective tool for identifying individual leaks within a hydraulic system.
They help to pinpoint active leaks in the presence of other oil and fluid films.
To properly use an ultraviolet dye test, follow these five steps:
1. Add ultraviolet dye to the hydraulic reservoir as recommended by the dye supplier.
2. Operate the machine normally to allow the dye to disperse throughout the system. It may
be necessary to run several cycles at the end with metalworking coolants or other process
fluids, which tend to wash the dyed oil away.
3. Inspect the machine using a high-powered ultraviolet light for signs of the dye. Start in
areas where leaked oil accumulates such as in drip trays, coolant systems, or basements.
Once an accumulation is found, look for signs of oil flowing or dripping into the
accumulation. The ultraviolet dye will illuminate oil along a path or stream. Trace this
path back to its source.
4. System consumption may be the result of one or many leaks. Quantify the rate of each
find and compare the total against system consumption. Rates may vary with pressure,
so observe the leak throughout the machine cycle if safely possible. Search until the
number of leaks found accounts for the system consumption rate.
During my 6 month final internship in JOSEPH CRYLIC BAMFORD (JCB) Put Ltd .My
work was to study all the different manufacturing units for the production of
backhoe machine in the company. After the completion of the project I will have
gained the basic knowledge of each process involved in manufacturing of an
backhoe machine. I learned about important parameters that need to be checked
before delivering the vehicle. It is great opportunity to understand the practical
application of our technical knowledge. This Industrial training also helped me to
experience the working atmosphere and functioning of an industry.
Not only did I learn about the working of a professional company and gained
great insights into the manufacturing process but I also learnt how to maintain
composure in a professional working environment and work independently.
Also, I learnt that in a company, one is not only responsible for his work profile
but his work also influences all other members in the team. A great performance
can really lift up the team. One’s work also serves as input data for other
employees so it has to be very accurate. Working in a company is about working
in tandem to produce desired results. So I realized the indispensible value of
teamwork.
I am grateful to the Manipal University Jaipur and JCB India Limited for giving me
this wonderful opportunity to me.

FUTURE SCOPE OF WORK
At last I would like to conclude with the fact that I learnt how the industry runs and
what skill set is needed to be a part of it which I am sure will definitely help me in
doing things in the right way in future. Also I would like to convey my sincere
thanks to my project guides and my faculty coordinator for such an enriching
experience.
