Welding Fixture and Welding Supporting Equipment Designed and Produced by Wuxi JACK

Welding Fixture

1. Usage and Application of Welding Fixture:

1) Welding Fixture is for positioning and fixing workpieces during manual and or automatic welding, so that welding can be performed in the most reasonable and comfortable position for operator, and eligible welding quality can be got accordingly;
2) In this respect, welding fixture has similar and overlapping function with Welding Positioner. The difference between welding fixture and Welding Positioner lies in: Due to the structure of workpiece, welding fixture has more complicated design than Welding Positioner in terms of securing workpieces;
3) Welding Fixture sees majority application in batch production, applied in various types of production lines, in Vehicle Industry, Engineering Machinery, Automobile Industry, etc.

2. Technical Characteristics of Welding Fixture:

1) Welding Fixture holds and clamps workpieces by means of fixed or revolving work table, and numerous pliers as its clamping points along the whole length of workpiece;
2) Majority of the pliers in Welding Fixture are manipulated manually by hand. Sometimes, air cylinders are used in Welding Fixture, for getting heavier clamping force, as well as quicker clamping operation in Welding Fixture;
3) Welding Fixture differs case by case. The design of Welding Fixture is based on design of workpieces, with the introduction of VPA (Virtual Production Analysis, 3D Simulation) in the process;
4) The manufacture of Welding Fixture should be validated by means of CMM (Coordinate Measurement Machine). The positioning of Welding Fixture can be maintained within the tolerance of ±1mm;
5) Another requirement on Welding Fixture is its durability: Maintain the accuracy and precision of Welding Fixture after long time use, which should be tested periodically by professional team.

Hobbing Cutter

1. Outline on the Purpose and Application of Hobbing Cutter:

1) Hobbing Cutter, the other name is Rolling Shear Beveling Machine, is for making welding groove on small to medium thickness metal plate, by means of the high speed revolution of cutter blade;
2) So, Hobbing Cutter has similar function as Edge Milling Machine and Flame Triple Cutting Machine;
3) This Rolling Shear Beveling Machine has capability of making beveling in the angular range of 25°~ 45°, on materials of carbon steel/ 16Mn, etc. Depending on tensile strength of workpiece material, the max. thickness that can be processed in this Rolling Shear Beveling Machine is up to 20mm.

2. Strong Points of Rolling Shear Beveling Machine:

1) As can be seen from its photos, this product of Hobbing Cutter has compact size and simple structure. Correspondingly, its operation and maintenance are easy and simple;

2) Besides, compared with Edge Milling Machine and Triple Flame Cutitng Machine, the other advantage of Rolling Shear Beveling Machine is its lower purchase cost, and lower running cost;
3) Beveling speed in Hobbing Cutter is fairly high (Around 3000 mm/min.), and the cutting kerf on metal plate after machined in Hobbing Cutter does not need trimming off slag.

3. Model and Technical Parameters of GD Series Rolling Shear Beveling Machine:

Working Principle and Operation of Hobbing Cutter

1. How does Rolling Shear Beveling Machine make Grooves on Metal Plate?

The 1^st Photo taken on lateral view of the Hobbing Cutter gives the theory of running way in this Rolling Shear Beveling Machine:
1) There is piece of revolving cutter in the upper section of the Hobbing Cutter main frame, which is driven with A.C. motor;
2) Beneath the cutter head, there is a piece of solid running roller, for supporting and conveying metal plate forward;
3) With traveling of the metal plate through the main frame of the Hobbing Cutter, edge of the metal plate got sheared and beveled;
4) Outside the main frame of the Rolling Shear Beveling Machine，the bottom handwheel is for raising up supporting roller of the metal plate, based on its thickness; And the 2 pieces of upper handwheels are for holding down the metal plate, during working of the Rolling Shear Beveling Machine.

2. How to Operate the Rolling Shear Beveling Machine?

The 2^nd photo gives overall view of the Rolling Shear Beveling Machine, as well as how to operate it:
1) Control board and buttons/ switches are installed on lateral side of Hobbing Cutter main frame, together with foot pedal switch for sending in of the metal plate;
2) There is angle scale assembled onto wall board, indicating and controlling beveled angle of metal plate delivered from the Rolling Shear Beveling Machine;
3) Suppose the metal plate to be machined in the Hobbing Cutter has broad width. Then, as shown in the 3^rd photo, workpiece supporting racks can be equipped with the Hobbing Cutter;
4) The 4^th photo gives beveled metal plate from GD20 Rolling Shear Beveling Machine.

Heavy duty Edge Milling Machine

1. The Function and Working Principle of Heavy duty Edge Milling Machine:
