Tooling Specifications

Tooling Size & Weight
Table 13 - I gives the minimum and maximum weight and
lateral dimension for the upper tooling for each model.
The weight is critical since the drive heads are designed
to drive a mass within a specific range. The length of the
upper tooling is specified because you should completely
cover the longitudinal spread of the spring frame to ensure
acoustic coupling. However, you do not want more than
about three inches of lateral (in direction of vibration)
overhang on each end. More than three inches overhang
will allow the unsupported ends to vibrate at their own
resonant frequency. The minimum depth (front to back
distance) of the upper tooling is dictated by the bolt holes
spacing. There is no concern about overhang in the direc-
tion orthogonal to vibration.

The lower tooling can be as light as you want as long
as it has the necessary strength to rigidly hold the lower
part in place and covers the lower bolt hole pattern. Con-
versely, the lower tooling can be as heavy as you want, as
long as the combined weight of the table and lower tool
allow enough clamping force to be exerted on the part
assembly during welding. Table 13 - I also gives the lift
table size, weight and lift force for each model. The lift
table dimensions are effectively the largest rectangular
tooling that can normally be accommodated.
