Abstract

PURPOSE: To increase fatigue strength and to produce a gun with great cost down by butting Al extruded shapes each other and assembling both side faces with fastening means. CONSTITUTION: Plate nuts N1, N2, N3, N4 are inserted to both ends of extruded shape 1a made of a rectangular body Al group material, etc., having the hollow part constituting a gun arm. Pressing plates P1, P2, P3, P4 are bolt fastened to the outside faces of both ends of the same extruded shape 1a, with sandwiching the extruded shape 1a. One of mating extruded shape 1b is inserted into the clearances between the pressing plates P1/P2 and plate nuts N1/N2 and plate nuts N3/N4. These are temporarily bolt fastened with the pressing plates and plate nuts common to the extruded shapes 1a, 1b. Respective dimensions are checked and then these are permanently fastened. The another mating extruded shape 1c is inserted into the clearances between the pressing plates P3/P4 and plate nuts N3/N4 and N5/N6. These are temporarily fastened by bolt with pressing plates, nuts common to the extruded shapes 1a, 1c. Respective dimension are checked and then these are permanently bolt fastened.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a large gun for spot welding is mounted on a robot, or is suspended as a portable gun by a balancer or the like, and a human moves it to a welding position for use. For this reason, lightweight gun arms made of light metal such as aluminum and aluminum alloys have been adopted for robot guns due to restrictions on transportable weight and for portable guns due to their operability.

However, since arc welding is used in the main manufacturing process in this conventional manufacturing method, an aluminum alloy material that can be used from the viewpoints of weldability, weld strength, etc., is 5000 series (Al-Si). However, as a gun arm material, it is unsatisfactory in terms of fatigue strength. In addition, there are many pre-processes of welding in the manufacturing process, and more time is required for welding and strain relief, resulting in higher overall costs.
