Design, Modification and Concept Generation of Fixture to mount Sub-assemblies from the Hydraulic Excavator Bucket

Arjun Shanmukam, Adarsh G Nair

Abstract: In this paper, an attempt has been made to Design, Modify and Generate concepts to mount the sub-assemblies from the Hydraulic Excavator Bucket component onto a Fixture to perform Welding on the sub-assemblies. Techniques suggested in this paper help in saving Cycle time per Job and also help in reducing the Man hours, which might otherwise have been spent on manual Welding of all the Sub-Assemblies, by making the process Automatic.
