Our Positioning

Why Excel Industries

The Case for Precision

Reliability Over
Throughput

In compressor and engine applications, a single out-of-tolerance pin causes premature wear, unplanned downtime, and costly overhauls. We treat each batch, regardless of quantity, with the same dimensional rigor applied to high-volume production.

Our centreless grinding process consistently holds 5 microns on outer diameter, ensuring correct running clearances and even load distribution across the pin bore.

CORE PHILOSOPHY
"Consistency, precision,
and long-term reliability."
01
Dimensional Consistency
Batch-to-batch repeatability maintained through fixed process parameters and 100% final inspection.
02
Flexible Order Capability
Capable of managing varied order profiles across aftermarket and OEM service inventory requirements.
03
Material Traceability
Steel grade confirmed before production. Alloy grade documentation available on request.
04
OEM & Aftermarket Supply
Supplying both first-fit OEM and aftermarket replacement channels, domestically and internationally.

Production Infrastructure

Facilities & Equipment

Core in-house capability focused on precision grinding, broaching, and dimensional inspection.

Centreless Grinding Machines
High-precision centreless grinders capable of holding OD tolerances to 5 microns. Multiple machines maintained to ensure production continuity. Work-rest blade and regulating wheel set-up controlled and documented per component type. This equipment represents the core technical capability of the facility.
Face grinding machine at Excel Industries, piston pin manufacturing facility, Rajkot
Face Grinding Machines
Dedicated face grinding equipment for precise length control post-hardening. Ensures parallelism of end faces and accurate finished length to drawing. Parameters controlled to prevent thermal damage to the hardened case.
Ball broaching setup for piston pin inner diameter, Excel Industries Rajkot
Ball Broaching Setup
In-house ball broaching for internal bore finishing. Produces consistent ID surface finish for compressor pin bore fit and floating pin applications. Tooling replaced on defined intervals.
Automatic Cutting Bandsaw Machine
PLC-controlled automatic bandsaw for precise bar-stock cutting at the start of the production flow. Programmed length and feed rate ensure repeatable cut accuracy and consistent blank dimensions across batches, reducing setup time and material variability for downstream operations.

Inspection Process

Quality Control Steps

STEP 01
First-Article Inspection
First piece of each batch verified before full batch proceeds. OD, ID, length, and concentricity checked against drawing. Inspection record raised and retained.
STEP 02
Dimensional Verification
OD measured at multiple points along length to detect taper. ID checked for bore finish and conformance. Length verified post-face grinding.
STEP 03
Tolerance Control (OD)
Centreless grinding targeted at 5–10 micron on OD. Process parameters confirmed on first article. Spot checks maintained during production run.
STEP 04
Concentricity Check
Hollow pins checked for wall thickness concentricity using V-block and dial gauge. Ensures uniform wall thickness and correct mass distribution.
STEP 05
Surface Finish Control
Ground surface finish confirmed visually and by comparative methods. Lapped pins inspected for uniformity. Defects, cracks, or handling marks rejected.
STEP 06
Final Inspection Before Dispatch
100% visual and dimensional inspection of completed batch. Batch summary record with dimensions, quantity, and inspector identification. Retained for traceability.
