Ordered Laser Etched Labels For The Spot Welder Timing Project Box
[ Monday March 11th 2024 at 11:49 pm ]

I am continuing to experience my artificial hip malfunctioning because of the hardware failure. I can't predict when it is going to happen. When it does I feel so weak. I am having to think what I would need for someone to help me with the spot welding for the (3) 2 story guinea pig cages to become usable as a hamster cage. Spot welding isn't particularly technical. It doesn't require the same protective gear as arc welding. The only skill is knowing what to turn off the spot welder. I am setting up a timing circuit so the spot welding is consistent. The reason this is beneficial is because the cage is made up of mild steel and it is just where the bars intersect that need spot welder. It will be very easy to go from doing a weld to creating a hole in the guinea pig cage. I am prototyping a timing controller using an Arduino to overcome this. I have just ordered laser etched labels so the person helping me is able to understand what state the spot welder is in. Each label will have a corresponding LED light. The spot welder I have purchased requires a 5 second break between each spot welder. Otherwise it will overheat. I need any person who might help me understand what is going on so the timing controller is helpful instead of a cause of frustration.
