What happens here

Operators manually tack-weld various small, intricately cut parts together using MIG welding. These parts are placed into specialized jigs to ensure precise alignment. This manual tacking process forms sub-assemblies that will then proceed to either more extensive manual welding or automated robotic welding stations. The facility has 32 manual MIG welding stations dedicated to this task.

Goal: Assemble small, cut metal parts into larger sub-assemblies using manual MIG welding and jigs.

Tools and materials

  • Jigs Unspecified — Holding parts in precise alignment for tack welding
  • MIG Welder Miller — Tack welding metal parts
  • Welding Gloves Unspecified — Hand protection during welding
  • Welding Helmet Unspecified — Eye and face protection during welding
  • Metal Parts — Components to be tack welded
  • Shielding Gas Unspecified — Protecting the weld pool from atmospheric contamination
  • Welding Wire Unspecified — Filler material for MIG welding

she's tacking parts together we've got 32 different welding stations in here put them together in a jig here she's going to tackle together in order to move on down the line to our newest piece of equipment we just brung it in the last couple months here single arm robot got lasers on the end to help us out with all the programming things like that what we're going to be doing what that is is now that parts that we've got guys manually welding are now going to go into automation six out of timer's what are you eliminating a job
