What Is a Spot Welding Robot?
A spot welding robot is an automated system designed to join metal parts together by applying pressure and passing a high current between them through electrodes. This process efficiently creates strong welds at specific points on the metal parts.
The robot operates based on pre-programmed CAD models and coordinates for the welding points, enabling it to execute welding tasks autonomously. With the aid of sensors, including optical sensors and cameras, it can precisely align and weld the components.
This automation not only accelerates the welding process and enhances accuracy compared to manual welding but also minimizes workers’ exposure to hazardous and high-temperature conditions. Spot welding robots are predominantly employed in sectors like automotive manufacturing and metal fabrication, offering benefits such as increased production efficiency, cost savings, and superior quality control.
