Design of the Welding Fixture for the Rear Headrest Bracket of Audi

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article deals with the welding fixture design for the rear headrest bracket of Audi. The fixture has to ensure the right position of individual components, because well done weld is the necessity of passenger ́s and transport safety. As the first, the 3D model of products was created then the fixture (and its components) was designed and at last the virtual model of the welding table for automated production was prepared in software Autodesk Inventor Professional. On the base of the model, the real fixture was manufactured and its functionality was verified in real production. The efficiency of the whole welding process increased several times in comparison with the previous hand welding activities. The initial costs invested in the automated process start-up have returned very quickly.
