상기와 같은 제품소재 지그장치는 제품소재가 움직이지 못하도록 잡아주는 고정간과 이동간으로 구성되는데, 상기 고정간과 이동간은 뒤쪽이 축핀으로 연결되어 있고, 또 받침구와 그 앞쪽에는 제품소재를 잡아주는 지지부가 형성되어 있다.The product material jig device as described above is composed of a fixed interval and the movement between the holding to prevent the product material from moving, the fixed interval and the movement between the back is connected to the shaft pin, and the support and the support portion for holding the product material is formed in front of it. It is.

이렇게 구성된 지그장치는 이동간을 실린더와 연결하여 실린더에 의해서 이동간이 하강하여 고정간과 함께 제품소재를 잡아주고 용접이 끝나면 이동간이 복귀하도록 구성되어 있다.The jig device configured as described above is configured to connect the movement with the cylinder, and the movement is lowered by the cylinder to hold the product material together with the fixed interval, and the movement is returned when the welding is completed.

종래 상기와 같은 지그장치를 구성하는 고정간과 이동간의 받침구에는 제품소재를 잡아줄 때 정확하고 안정적으로 잡아주도록 하기 위하여 안내편(100)과 돌출부(200)가 형성되어 있는데, 이동간이 하강하고 복귀하는 반복된 작업과정에서 돌출부가 안내편 사이에 마찰에 의해서 안내편과 돌출부의 양측면이 마모되는 것이다.The guide piece 100 and the protrusion 200 are formed in the support between the fixed and constituting the jig device as described above in order to hold the product material accurately and stably, the movement is lowered and returned In the repeated working process, the protrusions are worn by both sides of the guide piece and the protrusions by friction between the guide pieces.
