Fender Design
FENDER
Fender is a asethetic component mainly provided in all cars,It prevent sand ,stone enter into the engine compartment.It support pedestrains while tyre rotation preventing from dust and damage .
Two types of Fenders are available.
1.Full bumper type
2.Half bumper type
1.Full bumper type
These types of fenders were used in earlier models of vehicles. They contribute to the major increment of the steel weight by just covering the front headlights with respect to the bumper region. The problem associated with this kind of fender is there is a lot of wastage in the blank and every inch of a material is a cost to the industry.
2.Half bumper type
These fenders are mainly used for serving the purpose of cost-cutting and reducing enough proportions of the steel wait resulting in a reduction of the weight of the vehicle slightly. They can be economically manufactured, i.e by slightly increasing the blank size, we can produce two fenders at a time.
There are 5 mounting regions in the Fender design
1.A-pillar mounting
2.Body mounting
3.sill mounting
4.Bumper mounting
5.Drip mounting
Various mounting pictures are attached here out of these drip area is slightly complicated.
DRIP AREA Mounting
- While designing the drip area we have to initially leave 200-300 mm for cowl top
- For placing the headlamp we have to leave at least 150 mm at the front while designing the fender
- emboss are given to all hole to give additional strength to fender while fastening.
Ater completion of all process we have to thicken to 0.75mm thickness to the design.
