چکیده
MAY 2003 -S 116 ABSTRACT. Mechanical characteristics of resistance spot welding machines, such as stiffness, friction, and moving mass, have complex influences on the resistance welding process and weld quality. In this paper, these influences are systematically investigated through experiments. The mechanisms of the influences are explored by analyzing process signatures, such as welding force and electrode displacement, and other process characteristics, such as electrode alignment. A better understanding of the influences is achieved through this analysis. This study shows machine stiffness and friction affect welding processes and weld quality. It also confirms the moving mass does not significantly affect the process and quality of resistance spot welding.
