DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF WELDING FIXTURE FOR COMBINATION OF WELDING PROCESSES- A REVIEW

Mechanical ENgineering

In recent years the concentration of the manufacturing community has been on automated processes because they produce higher quality products and higher production rates. One of the most common automated processes in an assembly line is welding. However, an automated welding operation may not be best suited for every application. One way to increase the flexibility of a welding operation is to improve the fixturing device that holds the work piece. The addition of an active positioning adapting function increases the units, degrees of freedom, allowing for a larger range of possible motions. A specific weld fixture is to be designed by using CAD software which is one of the software used for modeling components in most of the design based industries. While the modeling of the components the material selection will be carried out simultaneously based on the design considerations related to loads, positions etc. Later the stress and strain concentration, deformation on the blade of the weld fixture will be found by applying certain load on the blade, using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by using ANSYS software that provides best output within few seconds.
