WELDING ANGLE DETECTOR

Abstract

Why welding is needed because it keeps our world together. If it‟s make of metal-it can be welded. From car to planes and bridges to buildings, welding keeps our economy moving. It‟s the backbone of our world. Politeknik Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah exposes to Mechanical Engineering Department students the basic knowledge and skill which extend the principle and technique needed by a welder in the field. Furthermore, students learnt welding in subject Workshop Technology where lecturers teach students about theory in welding. As we can see, all Mechanical Students know the basic knowledge about welding like angle range between 45°- 60°, arc spacing between 2-5mm and flat position. Moreover, welding is an essential component of many industries such as the automotive industry, the construction industry, the aviation industry and more also 70 % of manufacturing products are made with the skill of welders. Welding is not hard to learn but it takes time to master that skill such as technic zigzag, circle and straight because that student of the Mechanical Department of Politeknik Shah Alam takes time to proficient and practice in welding. So with an idea of welding angle detector, it helps students to improve their skill and make it easier to practice for welding. However, current the angle detector their using welding gauge for check it in weld inspection because of that it lead student takes time to practice to master all skill in welding. Due to that issue, welding angle detectors can help students see their mistake and learn it to improvise their skill.
