Abstract
The steel lid containing the manufacturing processes which begins with circle cutting, circle edge smoothening, forging, washing, and later for the edge trimming rolling and fine trimming operations. After these processes it also undergoes for polishing. In these processes the edge trimming which is similar to the facing operation, here the length of the lid which will be not uniform so it is trimmed to the required length and while trimming the steel lid which is of 1.20mm to 1.25mm thickness it undergoes some inner and outer bending due to the perpendicular cutting force. To straighten this from bending the rolling operations are performed on the steel lid and while rolling is performed the steel lid undergoes elongation to certain millimetres(~2mm) and to trim this elongated length it is again undergoes to final trimming operations. These edge trimming, rolling and fine trimming operations are performed on separate machines and it consumes more time for manufacturing, thus by optimizing the operations in a single setup the machine usage and operation time can be reduced.
