Friends, all welcome. Regular subscribers, and channel visitors who master manual arc welding alone, will today meet with such a useful and interesting topic as welded loops on garage doors, because sooner or later have to deal with loops, though not at the garage door, and on any door or gate they needed.
Finished welding the valves (doors), garage doors, and now it's time to weld hard and loop (canopies) right to the door for many years to freely open and close!
Purchased on Metal, where he bought all the material on the gate, machined 32 loops with a ball, they we will be welded.
The first thing I have them dismantled and abundantly smeared lithologic. Then one of the hinge parts, referred to colloquially mom, I outlined the white marker, made it For convenience in the assembly, to many times not to disclose and see where some of the be.
The box gate and each door is already counting was done in advance where they will be welded hinges. Then I drilled a metal sheet in a place where it will be welded ground loops that through these holes elektrozaklopkami (sheet metal and welding the base frame through the openings) to weld the sheet metal and Vorotina profile.
Boil through holes elektrozaklopok method, these were ground and well weld area, first grinding wheel grinder, and then petal.
Put the markup for display hinges to weld in the required position.
Good fixing piece shaped tube (which we need as a guide for the hinges to weld them one line), we put the loop close to the proftrube and within the layout boundaries of the desired position we hinges.
But this is my home-made to adapt, which I made from two pieces of proftruby this homemade need to put a loop in front of pot holders to the desired height of the gate box. Usually for this purpose decided to wrap the wire loop desired thickness, but to me, this method is not particularly like, so that's fashioned a contraption!
Loop until we catch only the box itself, and the same piece of proftruby check the alignment of the loops in all positions, if anything, to the aid of a hammer and the alignment becomes perfect!
Trying on a pad for connecting the loop segment (mum) from the gate wing. I cut it out of the channel, is more serious than the desired thickness, and so on that save time and money can not be.
You see the main chip (secret) my way of welding the loops? White marker I obvol ground loops, there will come a weld, and it will go exactly through the middle of elektrozaklopok, and thus turn to cook frame doors, sheet metal and a pad integrally formed loops, namely such compound will provide the desired stiffness weld Vorotina loops.
We begin scald hinges and door gate. Immediately one loop is not necessary to weld and do so boil shovchik one loop, then boil for a same shovchik loop situated diagonally, and that's the way, alternating and immediately without impacting a lot of welding on one loop, we welds all 4 loops, open the doors wide open, and boil the remaining seams that are difficult to get, when the gate closed.
Now cut the tack box gate with a segment loop (mother), and we clean all the joints grinding wheel grinder.
Note that in the place where she was to be welded ground loops, we have strengthened area, and our elektrozaklopki connect sheet metal not only with a skeleton proftruby, but also with this area. A loop I welded with the removal of the side, but not the majority in the middle between the door and the frame, in order to when you open the garage door, part of the loop does not take away the gate width of the box departure, even a few centimeters, but they will yours!
Friends, the text and the pictures in the article got a lot, but still it would be better to see a clear video of the process, so that the video is quite complement the article, where suddenly he had forgotten anything!
