A Technologically Advanced Manufacturing Ecosystem

Centrally located in Bhopal, the company benefits from excellent connectivity via National Highway corridors — enabling efficient access to seaports in Gujarat and Maharashtra, and air cargo facilities through airports in Bhopal, Mumbai, and Delhi.

Since inception, ORB has focused on developing a highly sophisticated manufacturing ecosystem. By 2025, the facility spans nearly 14,000 sq. m., housing state-of-the-art precision manufacturing and quality control equipment required to produce bearings for the global market.

The facility operates more than 100 advanced manufacturing machines from global OEMs including DMG MORI and Heller; a highly automated, green foundry for white metal lining; and extensive quality assurance systems from Zeiss, Instron, Mitutoyo, and Baker Hughes.

To ensure micron-level accuracy and extend equipment life, the entire facility is fully air-conditioned. It is regarded as a global benchmark — if not a lighthouse project — in sustainable precision manufacturing.

CNC Horizontal Turning

High-end CNC horizontal turning machines with Y-axis capability, handling workpieces up to Ø750 mm diameter and 2500 mm length.

• CTX Gamma Series — high accuracy and excellent repeatability
• CTX 620 Linear — sub-micron accuracy via linear motors
• Y-axis capability for off-centre turning operations
• Handles workpieces from Ø10 mm to Ø750 mm × 2500 mm

5-Axis Mill-Turn Centres

ORB has heavily invested in 5-axis machines with mill-turn, grinding, and gear skiving capabilities. With more than 15 five-axis machines, ORB ensures round-the-clock capacity for customers worldwide.

• DMU 270 FD — the largest 5-axis mill-turn centre, defining the upper limit of capacity
• DMC 125 FDS — high-performance dynamic 5-axis with double pallet
• DMU 85 monoBlock FD — rigid monobloc frame for high-precision milling
• DMU 40eVo FD — Evolution FD series with grinding capability
• 4-axis horizontal machines with automated multi-pallet handling for unmanned operation
• Gear skiving capability — added value for complex bearing profiles

In-House. Automated. One of a Kind. Digitized.

ORB has a round-the-clock operating foundry developed entirely in-house — with knowledge passed through generations. This one-of-a-kind white metalling operation is highly automated with capacity to line more than 100 bearings per day of varied sizes.

The control and operating systems have been fully conceptualised, designed, and manufactured in-house — enabling a unique, reliable process that delivers consistent quality year after year. Operations are fully REACH and RoHS compliant.

Among the largest globally for white metal lining, the foundry section is highly energy efficient and represents the backbone of ORB's bearing manufacturing.
