BRIC

BRIC — a grouping acronym that refers to four countries of rapid economic development: Brazil, Russia, India and China. TMP’s contribution to the mutually beneficial cooperation between these countries is evident through the fact that they already use and continue to purchase equipment bearing the TMP stamp. Before the collapse of the USSR all international sales were carried through the Stankoimport foreign trade agency. Today, TMP works directly with its clients.

In November of 2010 the company fulfilled an order for Reduce Rolls for a Brazilian client. The complex is used to receive rolled blanks, which then get stamped for various parts, including crankshafts and front axle beams. One should note that the Reduce Rolls are specifically made for a subdivision of the well known German corporate group — ThyssenKrupp Grupp. TMP has also received an order from the aforementioned company for the production of an automated complex for a hot-stamping forging press with a nominal capacity of 2500 tf. The construction of the press is already underway.

The plant is also building 2100 tf capacity integrated press for trimming and calibrating forgings of front axle beams for a giant Indian auto-company TATA Motors.

TMP is ready to break a new record.

For the first time in national history TMP built a 14000 tf capacity forging press. TMP engineers have now designed a yet-stronger machine with a nominal capacity of 16500 tf — the first of its kind in the entire world.

The presentation of the new press took place in the Republic of China — home to large manufacturers of vehicle components. Prospect Chinese, Japanese and South Korean clients were shown a 3D movie, as well as given detailed answers to all questions regarding this super-machine’s construction and the machine’s advantages over its competitors.

The participants not only discussed business, but took part in a golf tournament. TMP’s Chairman of Board of Directors Vladimir Rasskazov was among the winners.

On 20th of August the Customer “Guilin Fuda Forging Co.,Ltd” accepted the new unique crank hot forging press capacity 14 000 tf model KB8552.

The importance of this event is difficult to overestimate — it is general opinion of numerous foreign and national guests that were on press presentation the day before.

«It is stupendous achievement of Russian intellect» said Georgiy Samodurov, president of Russian association «Stankoinstrument» about new equipment.

— When I witness how President of Russia meets with our sportsmen, awards them, I think that Voronezh plant TMP achieved a lot of word records by manufacturing 14000 tf press. We should pay attention to TMP as here in real sector of economy is created a foundation for achievement in other realms. — says Mr. Samodurov.

Work of plant was also highly valued by Aleksei Gordeev, governor of Voronezh region:

— This event is important not only for plant TMP but also for the whole Voronezh region and even for the whole country. Our plant for building heavy mechanical presses supplies more than a half of world market with powerful machines. It is the unique manufacture. There a re only three-four plants of this type in the world. — says Aleksei Gordeev. — Now the plant becomes the world leader. Therefore Voronezh government should help TMP to find solution to several important current problems. We have a program of cooperation for the future.

Fourteen thousand tons — it is the capacity of new press. The design and manufacture of this machine took two years. The press has the height about 15 meters and weighs almost 1500 tons. Manufacture demanded modernization and almost 100 million rubles.

Increasing of press power means notable cost saving for parts production, metal economy and forging precision improving. Speed of treatment grows up in twenty times!

It should be noted that the press is the main part of automatic line for hot forging of crankshafts and front axle beams for tracks weighting up to 210 kg. The line will be assembled in special forging shop. The line includes trimming press capacity 2100 tf for sizing and trimming. This new project will be started in the nearest future.

The 14000 tf press was produced in tight schedule. The contract was signed in January 2009. Production process took only 19 months. It is a record for equipment of such type.

Now specialists of TMP work on the second press of this model and work out the new more powerful press 16000 capacity.
