501-25-24 Body Repairs - General Information 501-25-24 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION computer. The measurements are displayed on the computer screen and are compared with the required values supplied by the vehicle manufacturer. The ways in which mechanical-electronic measuring systems can be used are similar to those of the acoustic measuring systems. They can also be set up on a suitable understructure, without an alignment jig. After this system has been arranged under the vehicle floor and adjusted to three undamaged vehicle measuring points, the measuring arm is brought up to the required measuring points and the readings compared with the reference values. The data is transmitted to a computer where it is evaluated and the results displayed on a screen. TO BE UPDATED LATER Des Description FULSW ion 1 MIG welding machine 2 Resistance spot welding machine NOTE: If a suitably powerful welding machine is not available and multi-layer panel joints with a total thickness of over 3 mm need to be made, puddle welding must be used. Although in principle, high and ultra-high-strength panels are adequately or well suited to resistance spot welding, considerable problems may arise because of low welding power, especially where thicker panels or triple or multi-layer panels have to be welded together in the workshop. In particular, older welding equipment does not have the latest welding technology nor welding power Welding gear As in the past, the dominant process in body construction is resistance welding, in particular spot welding. Depending on body type, up to 5000 spot welds are applied, either by welding robots or in the multi-point welding machine. Resistance spot welding permits very high energy to be concentrated on a relatively small area of the workpiece in the shortest possible time and when high pressure is applied, a permanent joint is formed. During repairs the resistance spot welds used in production must be re-created accordingly. and therefore cannot reliably join panel thicknesses greater than 3 mm. NOTE: When installing body components made of ultra-high strength steel (e.g. boron), only inverter welding equipment certified by Ford may be used. Equipment with inverter technology allows better spot weld quality because of a constant high welding current. In addition the high welding current makes shorter welding times possible and the electrodes therefore have a longer working life. Inverter welding is a further development of electrode welding. In addition, a much higher electrode force (contact pressure of welding tongs) can be achieved with modern equipment. Further advantages of the new inverter welding equipment are:
