CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for automatically welding exterior joints of steel pipes comprises a gripping device(210), a rail(240), and a multi-joint automatic welding robot(250). The gripping device has a circular structure when closed to be installed on the exterior of steel pipes. The rail is projected in a cylindrical shape on one side of the gripping device. The multi-joint automatic welding robot comprises robot arms having a multi-joint structure and moves along the rail around the steel pipes to automatically weld exterior joints of the steel pipes.
