How To Design Welding Fixture. Certain welding configurations are more likely to distort. Conduct a short run with a robot sitting idle while an expensive fixture is made or sourced.
Proper fixture design is crucial for developing product quality in different terms of accuracy surface finish and precision of the machined parts in existing design the fixture. Decide on the starting rows of holes in the fixture location. Introduction Fixture has direct impact upon welding quality productivity and cost.
New technology helps reduce that time and the most obvious is designing fixtures in 3-D CAD software.
Self-locating and self-fixturing should make assembly easier not cause additional parts to be rejected due to too-tight tolerancing. Certain welding configurations are more likely to distort. In this blog I go over 6 things that will help you design a better fixture to make better parts. A well designed welding fixture should allow parts to be installed quickly and put the welder in a comfortable position to make quality welds.
