How the New Technology will Help
The removable jig is designed for use with a collaring machine that shapes pipes. It allows the machine to form pipes of different diameters more efficiently. This can help workers handle different pipe sizes without needing a completely separate setup for each size.
The technology was developed in-house by GRSE.
- Better flexibility: The machine can be used to form pipes of different diameters.
- Improved precision: It supports more accurate pipe-forming work during warship construction.
- Local development: The solution was created within India rather than relying on an externally developed technology.
These improvements can support manufacturing work at shipyards where pipes are needed for different parts of a warship.
Self-Reliance
GRSE’s new patent also fits with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat goal, which is about making more things in India instead of depending too much on other countries. The company is working on new ideas and better ways to build defence ships. By making its own tools and technology, GRSE can improve its work and develop more skills in India. It also helps with research, local manufacturing and making the country more self-reliant in defence shipbuilding.
