Core offering

Sam Machinery designs, manufactures, tests, and installs custom Special Purpose Machines (SPMs) for metal cutting, assembling, testing, and material handling applications. The machines integrate PLC and CNC systems and serve automotive engine component manufacturing — including pistons, piston rings, and bimetal bearings — as well as general engineering and heavy engineering customers. Equipment is delivered as one-time capital sales with associated service and commissioning.

Product overview

Sam Machinery India Pvt Ltd is a manufacturer of special purpose machines (SPMs) established in January 2002. Their product portfolio consists of four interconnected product lines serving the automotive and manufacturing industries: (1) Bimetal Bearings & Bushes Product Line for bearing manufacturing with machines for broaching, milling, punching, and boring operations; (2) Piston Machining Line covering the full piston production process from gravity die casting through boring, drilling, assembly, and inspection; (3) Piston Ring Machining Line for ring manufacturing including splitting, grinding, lapping, and assembly inspection; and (4) Miscellaneous Auto Parts SPMs for diverse component manufacturing like welding, drilling, reaming, and machining. All machines integrate PLC or CNC systems and target mass production environments for automotive, heavy engineering, and processing industry clients.
