GENERAL INFORMATION Spot Welding Notes • The shape of the spot welder tip is D=(2×t)+3. If the upper panel thickness is different from that of 70 - 120° the under panel, adjust to the thinner one. acxuub00000054 • Because the weld strength is affected by the shape of the spot welder tip, the optimum condition of the tip should always be maintained.
Page 16
GENERAL INFORMATION Checking Weld Strength • Installation locations of the engine, chassis, and Chisel dimensions seat belts are designated as important safety locations for weld strength. Check weld strength 20° by driving a chisel between the panels at every 25mm fourth or fifth weld spot, and every tenth regular {0.98in} weld location.
