Hai, I am designing a Welding fixture as a Project for Heavy equipments which weighs 5000 kg. Sheet metal thickness are of 10,12,25,40 etc . Material of sheet metal is Is2026. Weld size will be of varying from 5 to 20, which depends on sheet thickness and application.
For holding the plates in the during welding, which weighs around 100 to 200 kg (Depnds) i have to use toggle clamp. I want to optimise the number of Toogle clamp that is required for Holding the Plates during welding by knowing counter force which generated during welding.
Kindly mail me back. Thanks Anand
