Overview

• Study the effect of welding parameters and fixturing strategies on chassis geometry variability.
• Aim to find optimal welding parameters and a better fixing/fixturing method to reduce dimensional variability of assembled chassis.

Main Tasks / What you will do

• Design and execute experiments to evaluate welding parameters (e.g., heat input, travel speed, current/voltage) and fixturing strategies on chassis geometry.
• Measure geometric results (e.g., using CMM, gauges, laser trackers) and quantify variability against GD&T requirements.
• Compare welding processes such as MIG, TIG and spot welding and document their influence on material behavior and final assembly geometry.
• Propose and validate improved fixturing/fixing methods to prevent variability on the production line; implement trial runs if possible.

Required Expertise / Skills to Apply

• Understanding of welding methods such as MIG, TIG and spot welding and their effects on material properties and distortions.
• Familiarity with fabrication processes, assembly operations and production line optimization.
• Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and metrology techniques for dimensional control.
• Ability to perform statistical analysis of geometry variability and to create test protocols and reports.

Expected Deliverables

• Experimental plan and test matrix for welding parameters and fixturing strategies.
• Measurement reports showing geometry variability, statistical analysis and comparison against GD&T limits.
• Recommendations for optimal welding parameters and a validated fixturing strategy to reduce variability, including implementation notes for production.
• Final written report and presentation to the Quality Department.
