Grounding Block Design

SUMMARY

Engineered a grounding block to safely route weld current from rotating fixtures, protecting bearings and tooling
Why?
The fixtures on both of the trunnion shared one grounding system, potentially causing welding current flow through the tooling

ACHIEVEMENTS

• Eliminates risk of weld current damaging rotating components

• Improved weld consistency and quality

• Enhanced grounding integrity on rotating trunnions to support safe operator interaction and equipment handling

• Improved system reliability while reducing downtime and maintenance needs
