Abstract

The main focus of this project is on improving the manual method of changing the welding gun tip. Currently, changing a welding gun tip is done by human, which may result to delay in production and also can harm the worker safety. The method of the project is described in this report which includes preliminary research, preliminary design and design selection. The design for automatic tool changer is presented in this report. The design is firstly sketched and then drawn using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software so that future improvement can be done. Solidworks is the software used for making the design in creating 3 conceptual designs. Design selection is done based on design properties and required design specification. The required specification is discussed in order to selecting the best design. The design must fulfill the main requirement of this project that is, improving the welding gun tip changing method. In this project, the design is simulated by using the Solid Works and Working Model software. The aspect of simulation included determining the efficiency and the effectiveness of the tool changer. In the analysis, the result shows that the design has better efficiency and effectiveness than manual method.
