CG220N is the inner metallic part, which is situated at the plenum windshield section of windshield of Scorpio, a four-wheeler categorized in SUV or as pick-up truck. In Mahindra CIE Automotive Nasik Welding of CG220N takes place at the sub assembly shop. The CG220N part is the product of welding together two parts CG410 and CG730. Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) is used to weld them. The existing method to weld them together is by clamping them together on the welding fixture assembly system. Aim of this Project is to improve the overall system by implementation pneumatics and decrement in cycle time. The existing hand clamp system is replaced by pneumatic clamp system. This change will bring out reduction in cycle time hence increase in productivity. Also it is observed that Operator Fatigue is reduced.

Keywords- Keywords—Cycle Time, pneumaticclamps, weld fixtures, Time Study.
