What do Cummins do in Daventry?

Cummins in Daventry manufacture high horsepower engines that range in size from 500 to 3500 horsepower and from 38 to 91 litre (remember that the average engine size is between 1 & 2 litres) The manufacturing process includes machining of the cylinder block, assembly of the engine, and then each engine is put through a test programme to ensure it meets Cummins' high standards. The engines can be used in numerous applications including Power Generation, Construction, Marine & Rail Locomotives. It is not commonly known that a Cummins engine is used to supply the London Eye with backup power in the event of a power failure

Cylinder Block Machining Sand castings shipped from Germany & China are machined using 36 CNC machines. On average each cylinder block has of 887 holes produced. The largest tolerance for a machined feature is equivalent to the thickness of 5 sheets of paper. The smallest tolerance is the equivalent to a thin human hair.

Engine Assembly Finish machined cylinder blocks stop at 29 different assembly stages & have parts fitted that have been manufactured in over 30 different countries. Trained operators have a total of 33 minutes to complete their work on each stage. The customer can select from over 4,000 different engine configurations.

We make people's lives better, you can too!

Cummins is defined not only by its products, but by the ideas, energy and passion of its people. We started out with a commitment to building dependable products and over the past 90 years or more our people have helped us become a global leader—but we still believe in the same things.

Whether its reducing greenhouse gases around the globe or building the worlds most environmentally friendly and whisper quiet products, Cummins goals go far beyond our success—to doing what's right for the environment and planet we inhabit. Our success is built on innovation, integrity, diversity and delivering superior results. It's a philosophy that's helped us become who we are.

Engine Test Each engine is ran through a comprehensive test programme to ensure it meets both Cummins specification and strict emission regulations. Each of the 12 test cells measure several variables of interest, such as: • Crankshaft torque, • Fuel consumption rates, • Emissions

Engine Shipping Spread over 11 stages, the engines are painted, have a final inspection and loaded onto a shipping skid before been loaded into a steel container. We shipped over 4,000 engines in 2015, at a total weight of over 20,000 tonnes, over 12 million parts covering 3 million miles to their final destination, supplying power to millions around the world.
