Abstract:This report contains the work that was carried out in order to design a new automated welding table for the company ‘pan oston’ located in Raalte, The Netherlands. This internship was a part of a bigger project that was being carried out at the company, which is the upgradation of the current system of welding that is currently labour intensive and time consuming into a fully automated welding cell for sheet metal plates where a single piece flow is envisioned. Also in order to design a new automated welding table a welding cell is to be simulated with handling and welding robot with its accurate dimensions and positions. Also lot of varieties of products has to be studied in order to understand the complexities involved. In order to make the new welding table design it is needed to get rid of the product-specific fixtures and so that parts shall be placed, positioned and welded in a flexible welding table concept based on the different requirements, parts specifications etc. The end product is one which shows a welding table where it is possible for most of the products to be welded automatically with the new flow line. And this report also describes the material selection criteria, the kind of equipment that needs to be fitted in order to make this table workable. Also some suggestions are made in the end on how to test these concepts and also how to adapt in the future to achieve more productivity.
