Abstract: A method of manufacturing a frame for cathode ray tubes includes the steps of blanking a workpiece while keeping junctions thereon and punching a transformable area of the workpiece to form pilot holes thereon, piercing the blanked portion into a TV or monitor screen shape, forming the edge of the screen-shape portion such that it bends inward, and drawing the formed portion to be molded into a frame while notching the junctions. The steps are performed in one press simultaneously or sequentially.

Abstract: Apparatus for inspecting an electric resistance welding state including a first electrode connected to a power source, a second electrode connected to another terminal of the power source, and a welding object interposed between the first and the second electrodes. A voltage waveform measuring system includes a first analog-to-digital converter for detecting voltage applied, during a welding process, to both ends of the welding object.An electrode movement measuring system includes a sensor for detecting a change of a gap between the first and the second electrodes during the welding process, and a second analog-to-digital converter for receiving an output of the sensor.A computer system which includes a neural network inspection system for receiving outputs from the voltage waveform measuring system and from the electrode movement measuring system is provided.
