Seam welding robot

摘要

A seam welding robot includes a robot arm and a welding unit that is coupled to the robot arm. The welding unit includes a pair of roller electrodes. The pair of roller electrodes rotates following motion of the robot arm while sandwiching and pressurizing welding targets. The welding unit passes a welding electric current between the pair of roller electrodes to seam-weld the welding targets.

主权项

1. A seam welding robot, comprising:
a robot arm; a welding device to seam-weld welding targets, the welding device comprising:
a frame including a first plate and a second plate provided opposite to the first plate;a lifting and lowering device provided between the first plate and the second plate;a first roller electrode rotatably provided to the lifting and lowering device so as to be lifted and lowered between the first plate and the second plate; anda second roller electrode rotatably provided to a distal end of the second plate, the first roller electrode and the second roller electrode being configured to rotate following motion of the robot arm while sandwiching and pressurizing the welding targets; and a rotation mechanism provided between the robot arm and the first plate so as to rotate following the motion of the robot arm, the rotation mechanism having a rotation axis on substantially the same straight line as a straight line connecting a rotation center of the first roller electrode and a rotation center of the second roller electrode.
