(Prior art) A guide pin that is supported in the electrode of a projection welding machine so as to be able to move up and down, and whose tip protrudes from the mounting hole of the cap, and is used to position small items such as nuts, has a wA edge and heat resistance. In addition to sex, strength is required. Conventionally, such guide pins have mainly been made of stainless steel with an insulating coating formed on the surface. However, after using this type of guide pin 20,000 to 500 times, the insulating layer on the surface has deteriorated! ! IIIL, there was a drawback that it had to be replaced early due to poor insulation. Guide pins made of alumina ceramics are also widely used, but while there is no risk of insulation failure, their mechanical strength is approximately 30k.
Due to the low g/d, the contact part with Nando etc. is easily worn out or damaged, and the thermal shock resistance is low due to the large coefficient of thermal expansion (
It was easy to break and there was some dissatisfaction with its durability.

A guide pin with such a concave portion (9) formed therein can be lighter than a solid one, and has faster response in vertical movement. The air flow enters the concave part (9) having the tapered part (8) and allows the guide pin to move in and out while keeping it on the center line without rattling it, thereby preventing misalignment of nuts etc. to be welded. It can be prevented. Furthermore, the guide pin with such a recess (9) can radiate heat during welding from a wide surface area, so
The durability of the guide pin can be further improved0

A guide pin with a recess like this has a small clearance (but can move smoothly), but a conventional flat-bottomed one cannot move smoothly if the clearance is small.
In this way, the guide pin of the present invention can be moved straight in and out even when the clearance is small, so there is no uneven contact with panels, nuts, etc., and there is no local wear, resulting in excellent durability. That will happen.
