WELDING

Spot weld callout

A spot weld callout identifies a series of discrete weld nuggets in overlapping sheet metal. The size indicates the spot diameter and the pitch states their spacing along the seam. A process note in the tail can make clear that resistance spot welding is intended. Use this compact notation for enclosures, brackets, and other sheet-metal assemblies that are joined at regular intervals. Before using the layout in a build or document, compare every label with the source requirements and update the drawing when parts, conditions, or materials change. The example is deliberately small so the essential relationships remain readable, easy to review with collaborators, and ready to extend with the details required for the actual project.

CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A sheet-metal overlap joint is assembled with spot welding.

Key decisions

  • Weld type: Spot welding suits overlapping thin sheet.
  • Spot size: The symbol specifies a 6 mm spot.
  • Spacing: The 40 mm pitch sets the repeat pattern.

When to reuse this

Use for a repeated resistance spot-weld pattern on sheet metal.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a spot weld?01
It is a localized weld, commonly made by resistance welding overlapping sheet.
How is spot spacing shown?02
The pitch value gives the spacing between spots.
Can spot size be specified?03
Yes. The size value records the spot diameter.
