Stand Base for Vibratory Conveyor-Drawing-0

Tools

Item No.	Image	Name
1		Tape Measure
2		Scriber
3		Combination Square
4		Center Punch
5		Drill Press
6		Drill Bit - 1-2 in
7		Drill Bit 1-4 in
8		Welding Equipment
9		Hacksaw
10		Vise
11		File - Flat

Process

Step 1: Layout and cut the four sections of 1 in square tubing. Use a file to clean up the edges and remove any burrs.

Step 2: Use a pair of digital calipers to determine the distance between adjacent holes on the floor flange. Different companies use different standards, so don't assume that they will all be the same.

Step 3: Layout and drill the holes for the floor flange in the two cross bars. Oversizing the hole by one size makes assembly much easier.

Step 4: Layout and drill the holes in the ends of the other two bars for the feet. Again consider oversizing the hole by one step if the drill bit is available.

Step 5: Temporarily attach the floor flange to the two cross bars. Clamp the cross bars into position on the other two bars and then weld them together.

The vibratory conveyor stand base is now complete.

Process

Step 1: Layout and cut a piece of 3/4 in. pipe to the length shown in the drawing.

Step 2: Using a half round file or grinder, make a seat in one end of the pipe so that it can make good contact with a section of 1 in pipe.

Step 3: Cut a section of 1 in. pipe to the length shown.

Step 4: Using a hack saw or grinder with a cutting wheel, cut a slot in the pipe as the drawing shows.

Step 5: Cut two pieces of 3/4 x 1/8 in. flat bar to the length shown.

Step 6: Weld the flat bars to the 1 in pipe to make the clamp. The clamp will be weak if the welds are only on the outside. Try to wrap around to the inside of the joint at least a bit. After welding, clean up the inside of the 1 in pipe with a half round file.

Step 7: Layout and drill the hole in the tabs of the clamp. Start with a 13/64 in. bit and drill through both tabs. Open one of the tabs up to 1/4 in. Tap the other hole using a 1/4-20 tap.

Step 8: Weld the 3/4in pipe to the one inch clamp as shown in the image on the drawing.

The support arm weldment is now complete.
