Profile

History

The company was established as Dancal (lndia) pvt. Ltd. In 1965 with the objective of Manufacturing calculating machines in collaboration with Danish company (hence the name derived from Danish Calculators).

Before the manufacturing scheme left the planning stage, electronic calculators appeared on the market. They were faster and cheaper than the electro-mechanical type proposed to be made by the Company, and the plans were abolished. The company then developed its own products, i.e. Fluid power products, specifically Pneumatic cylinders, control Valves and rerated auxiliary Valves and Fittings. The company is a pioneer in this line in India and has maintained its leadership of advanced design and reliability of its products.

Present Position

The Company has maintained a low profile as it has a large order inflow in relation to its capacity. It is expanding sub-contracting of components and a few complete finished products to meet the demands.

The company is focusing on the marketing, product and manufacturing development, which are its strengths, and reducing in-house manufacturing as it is cheaper to outsource this activity. After a product has been developed, the initial production runs take place in the company's plant to 'debug' the bottlenecks and fix standard operation times. Subsequently, sub-contractors, often with tools, gauges, etc. and a few machines given on loan make the components and a few complete products.

Ongoing Developments and Future plans

The company aims at upgrading its products continuously by improving the design to achieve higher performance and lower cost.

A complete new range of cylinders and Directional control valves with an extensive selection of sensors making them useful for building Fluid Logic Systems for controlling complex processes by pneumatics only without electric components is under development. Such systems are more reliable and also cheaper. The Company envisages a large scope in this area in which it has achieved substantial experience ahead of other companies, and it should become undisputed leaders in the field.

In order to remain competitive it has become essential to streamline all administrative and production related procedures, which the Company has taken up and has also computerized most of these activities.

The Company has been awarded a certificate by 'GEOTEK GLOBAL' under ISO 9001-2008 for Quality Management Systems.

Applications and Major Customers for the Companys products

Applications


The products of the company can assist practically all categories of industry in increasing production, improving quality and reducing human efforts. They lend themselves to performing tasks from simple operations to complex automated systems.

The pneumatic cylinders are the 'workhorses' proving linear movement and force, and the valves control their action. The cylinders can perform numerous operations such as pushing, pulling, lifting, squeezing, clamping, hammering, impacting, injecting, feeding, crimping, locking, indexing, etc.

A few examples of the applications where the products of the company have been used are as under :

  • Pneumatic presses for blanking, punching, bending, riveting, embossing, etc.
  • Moving slides on machine tools with arrangements for fast approach, controlled slow feed and fast return.
  • Feeding of strips into blanking tools, bars into centreless grinders, etc.
  • Actuating valves of ball, taper plug and slide design.
  • Edge guiding system for textiles, paper, magnetic tapes, etc.
  • complete pneumatic systems with fluid logic controls for following applications :
    • Filling of oil, asphalt, paint, gas and other media into cylinders or drums with arrangement for fast and slow filling, the latter to ensure accurate cut-out to stop filling when the pre-set weight or volume has been reached.
    • Capping of drums while moving on conveyors.
    • Assembly operations.
    • industrial robots - pick, move and place devices.
