Greetings to the guests of our channel!
Here we share practical advice on welding and locksmithing with self-taught garage beginners. Who does not have a welding education, but there is a welding inverter with a grinder and a great desire to weld metal structures with high quality.
Welding jig - what is it? These are devices for rigidly fixing parts for assembling a structure that needs to be welded. That is, we do not manually assemble a structure from many parts, but we put these parts into the conductor as in a matrix, grab the parts and now boldly scald them. Let's show examples with photos.
For example, we need to weld a large number of identical designs. Let it be rectangular frames from a shaped pipe. We set the first frame manually - adjust the right angles at the pipe joint, set the same diagonals. We grab for the rigidity of the entire structure.
And we still need to make a lot of such frames, collect, exhibit and customize each one - it's a very long and confused one. Better to brainstorm and make a conductor.
The first frame will be the base, the template for the conductor. We will weld a simple jig along the frame for quick assembly of the following frames.
From pieces of the corner, we made stops along the frame, so to speak. This will be the simplest conductor. We take out the frame from the conductor.
Here are the blanks for the next frame. We just take them and put them in the conductor. We have assembled a frame in which all sides will be at right angles and the diagonal of the frame will be the same.
We saved time for assembling this structure, without losing accuracy. Friends, this was a quick example, in an amicable way, it is tedious to move the corner to stop the inner corner of the frame a little to the side, since we should make the first tacks here. It would also be possible to add some stops along the inner and outer sides of the frame for greater precision and rigidity.
But the very meaning of the conductor for assembling for beginners now I think is clear - we make our work easier and increase the speed several times. But this is when you need to weld many of the same structures.
There are many of the same designs in the top photo - this is a portable fence. It is 3 meters long and 1.6 meters high. I welded 20 of them. Naturally, the principle of assembly in a conductor was also applied here, otherwise it would be rather long and troublesome to manually expose all this separately. For those who are interested in this topic, tomorrow, October 26, I will upload a video to the channel, where I will tell everything what and how. See you.
