Design of anti-fall mechanism for the longitudinal seam welding station.

The objective of the current work is to design a safety mechanism for the longitudinal seam welding station. Longitudinal seam welding station is welding fixture used in the fabrication of the pressure vessel for the welding of cylindrical shell along the length of the shell. In the design of long seam welding station it is necessary to incorporate anti-fall mechanism. The safety mechanism included in the design of welding station for preventing the accident owing to the failure of while lifting the components is known as anti-fall mechanism. Anti-fall mechanism remains inactive during normal running operation and it will engage with the rack, when lifting mechanism fails. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
