Description: 
This institute is concerned with developing large-scale automation 
in the machine-building industry. Interest centers specifically around auto- 
mating the production of machines for welding and surface hardening of large 
shell molds. The TM-2 metal-spray gun was developed here for spraying 
pseudo-coatings on bearings, bushings, and shaft surfaces. A mechanized line 
was developed for the sand-slinging production of molds for large-size cast- 
ings. A welding manipulator was also produced. 
A branch of this institute in Leningrad shares the same goals of 
mechanizing the production of machines. A profile-grinding machine for 
machining turbine blades was designed at this branch.
