TWO-WAY WELDING GUN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18129471 titled 'TWO-WAY WELDING GUN
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a two-way welding gun that can switch between a first welding tip and a second welding tip based on the shape of the flange of a vehicle body panel, allowing for easy spot welding of panels with different flange shapes.
- The welding gun includes a first welding tip for spot welding vehicle body panels with flanges that match its shape.
- A second welding tip is included for spot welding panels with flanges that have a different shape but match the second welding tip.
- This innovation simplifies the spot welding process for vehicle body panels with varying flange shapes.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in automotive manufacturing for efficiently spot welding vehicle body panels with different flange shapes.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of having to use different welding equipment for panels with varying flange shapes, streamlining the spot welding process in manufacturing.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency in spot welding operations, reduced equipment costs, and improved overall productivity in automotive manufacturing.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include automotive manufacturing plants looking to optimize their spot welding processes for different vehicle body panels.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be welding guns with interchangeable tips for different welding applications, but none specifically tailored for spot welding vehicle body panels with varying flange shapes.
Unanswered Questions
How does the welding gun determine which welding tip to use based on the flange shape?
The abstract does not provide details on the mechanism or technology used to automatically select the appropriate welding tip.
Are there any limitations to the types of flange shapes that can be accommodated by this two-way welding gun?
The abstract does not mention any restrictions or limitations on the range of flange shapes that can be effectively spot welded using this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A two-way welding gun includes a first welding tip or a second welding tip selected to be used depending on the shape of the flange of a vehicle body panel, which is an object for the spot welding, so that flanges of first vehicle body panels each including a shape matching the first welding tip are easily spot welded to each other using the first welding tip, and flanges of second vehicle body panels each including a shape different from the first welding tip but matching the second welding tip are easily spot welded to each other using the second welding tip.
