Welding Fixture PM Check List | Welding Fixture PM Check Sheet

All welding fixtures should be inspected as per PM plan and Welding Fixture PM Check List, and maintain proper maintenance records.

Welding Jig/Fixture Maintenance content includes the following:

Whether the positioning pin is firm, whether it is bent or deformed, whether the positioning pin wear amount is too large, and whether the diameter of the general positioning pin and workpiece hole is not more than 0.10mm.
Whether the positioning block is firm or not and whether the positioning surface is worn is not more than 0.2 mm.
Whether pressure pillars can be reliably pressed, and the head wear is serious. If the head area is too small and the workpiece is pressed out of the pit, it must be grounded or replaced.
Whether the bolts of the connecting parts are tightened securely or not, and whether the solder joints are fixed at the spot welding are cracked.
Check whether the chute positioning is reliable and whether it moves freely.
Whether the components of the pneumatic clamp are damaged, whether the cylinder and the pipeline leak, and whether the clamping mechanism is reliable.
Whether the marking of welding automobile fixtures is clear.

In addition to copper positioning pins, other steel positioning pins must be heat-treated during replacement to increase wear resistance. Drawings require heat treatment when the heat-treated positioning block is replaced.
