HI EVRYONE. THAK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE.
WE ARE LOOKING AT WELDING MOLDBOARDS FOR A SNOW PLOWS USING A ROBOT. THE WEIGHT OF THE PARTS VARIES BETWEEN 200 LBS TO 300LBS.AT THIS TIME WE HAVE LOOKED AT LINCOLN ELECTRIC THAT USES FANUC ROBOTS. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT IGM.THA PARTS...
Thank you for the responses.Our engineering dept. and manufacturing do not agree on the necessary size of the welding gaps. We need to figure out how to determine the size of the welding gaps based on the material and the thickness of parts welded.We understand that the quality of the weld will...
Hi everyone. We weld Hot Rolled steel, and we would like to know if there is a standard that allow us to determine the welding gap between two parts of same or different thichness. In another way what is the necessary gap and tolerances that we need between two part in order to weld them and...
Hi everyone. I am looking at learning the Lean Manufacturing concepts. There are so many books and seminars out there, that I don't know which ones to use.I have been in manufacturing for many years, I hear so much about the lean way that I though it is time to become trained, maybe we can save...
Hi Folks.
Again I am coming to, I am sure, the right place to ask for assistance.We roll c1008 temper pass sheet using a CNC roller. The sheet vary between 72"x30" to 120" x 40".We are not able to get consistency on the radius from one end to the other. We need to find a...
Hi everyone. Is there a simple formula that calculate the load that a spring can sustain at different extension or compression? Is there a good web site that give specifications for springs and K factors?
Thank you for your help.
Hi everyone. We are an OEM plant.We have a fabrication and welding departments. We would like to use a part numbering system that automatically stamps part numbers on parts for easy identification.We use plasma, stamping presses, and iron workers machines in our fab deprt. Is there a system...
Thank you.
What about the CL of the holes.(alignement)? Assume each hole is on different part.Location of this part is also a concern as far as tolerance.
If the tolerance on each hole diameter is +/- 0.010, what will be the tolerance of the pin that need to fit through all this holes?
I have...
Hi everyone. I need help on tolerances. We have many disagreements between manufacturing and engineering on tolerances. Beside how large or small the tolerances should be, we don't agree oh how they are specified and mostly stacking ones. What is a stacking tolerance? Is there a very easy book...
Hi. I Need to find some information on how snow plows affect the CG of vehicles, as well as the forces and stress analysis of plows on a truck.
Thank you.
Eng. in snow land.
Hi again. I just want to add that we inspect the welded parts and then make correction to the fixtures.Any distortion to the parts used is hard to predict.I was thinking that the tacked parts,ounce inspected by QC, will give us some information to the deviation due to distortion.Our tolerances...
Hi everyone. I am new here in this company and I one of my duties is making fixtures for fabrication. We mainly use hot rolled and high strength steel in all our parts that are used to make the final welded part.Our fixtures are mainly tack fixtures. However we have to compare our final welded...
Thank you for your responses. I know sending this to a lab will help in determining the chemical composition and perhaps the metal. I am more interested in something quick and easy to do on the floor without finding the chemical containts.How did people recognized what type of material are they...
Hi. We have two kinds of Miller robots (MRH with C2 controller, and MR1000 with and Alpha controller. Both are acr robot welders.). I know Miller welding was bought I believe by OTC, but I can't find anything about Miller robots in OTC site. Any help on where to get some help on Miller robots...
Hy Everyone. I need some help in identifying a steel pin that about 1/2" in Dia. Our welding dept. has been using in their fixtures. No one knows where it came from or what material it is made off. I would like to use a quick and easy way to identify the material. Any help is greatly...
