Abstract

This paper aims at designing and fabrication of material handling equipment i.e. MIG MAG welding machine carrier unit for the locomotive workshop. Carrier unit should have characteristics like the ease of handling, low cost and safety of the user. A unit has to be designed such that it can be moved to all the corners of the workshop. The carrier unit comprises of inverter, wire feeder, arrangement of two gas cylinders and various accessories. The study focuses on improvement and development in the present material handling management system in the locomotive workshop. The selection of suitable materials for the fabrication of a carrier unit is done by using lightweight and durable material.
