Abstract
A support for the carriage of a welding head intended for the automatic welding of metal plates comprising plane areas framed by corrugations running in two perpendicular directions and intersecting to form abutment surfaces at the ends of the corrugations. This support comprises a base equipped with means for fixing the base to one of the said plane areas, means for centering the base with respect to the corrugations surrounding the plane areas by contact with a plurality of the said abutment surfaces, and adjustable stops for defining the distance from the base to the plane area by contact with a plurality of the said corrugations, the said base including means for mounting on the base a guide bar designed to receive the said carriage translationally.
Claims16
A support for the carriage of a welding head for the automatic welding of metal plates comprising
- corrugated elements disposed in two peripendicular directions so as to intersect each other,
- abutment surfaces at the ends of said corrugated elements at their intersections,
- planar members surrounded by said corrugated elements and disposed between the intersections thereof,
- a base adapted to be removably fixed to one of the planar members,
- means for centering the base with respect to the corrugations surrounding the planar members by contact with a plurality of said abutment surfaces,
- means defining the distance from the base to the planar member by contact with a plurality of said corrugations,
- means for mounting a guide bar on said base parallel to at least one of said corrugations whereby the guide bar may receive the carriage in a translational manner, and
- suction means for removably fixing the base to one of the planar members.
