Problems Encountered When Welding Six Spots in One Cycle on Shock‑Absorber Bracket with Medium‑Frequency Spot‑Welder


Sep 11,2026

Automotive shockabsorber brackets belong to chassis suspension safety components. A mediumfrequency spotwelder is adopted for multispot spotwelding process, completing six weld spots simultaneously in one cycle.

Sixspot simultaneous spotwelding features short tact time and high efficiency. Multiple weld spots share equipment output energy, which readily causes current shunting, uneven pressure distribution and heat concentration.

I Process Difficulties of SixSpot Simultaneous Welding in One Cycle

When multiple spots are welded simultaneously, differences exist in circuit resistance of each point, easily bringing uneven energy distribution. Adjacent weldspot spacing is small. Mutual internalcurrent shunting during welding greatly weakens effective fusion energy. Six spots release heat at the same time; concentrated heat cannot dissipate quickly. The bracket is prone to thermal deformation and large residual stress. Multipoint pressure application may lead to workpiece displacement and indentation.

II Defect Problems

1.Divergent weldspot strength, partial cold joints and partial overburning

2.Bracket warping and twisting deformation

3.Uneven indentation depth of weld spots

4.Heavy welding spatter and excessive weldingslag residue

5.Unstable batch quality with progressive quality degradation in continuous welding

III Improvement Solutions

1.Unify electrode condition and guarantee consistent pressure balance

2.Optimize welding timesequence to reduce deformation and cold joints

3.Adopt dedicated welding parameters for sixspot welding

4.Optimize tooling positioning to prevent workpiece shift and suspension

5.Standardize incomingmaterial control before welding

6.Establish maintenance system for electrodes and equipment

7.Improve inspection methods to eliminate hidden defects
