METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REMOVING AND/OR REPLACING ELECTRODES OF A WELDING CLAMP OR A WELDING APPARATUS

摘要

The invention concerns a method using an electrode replacing station comprising a mobile (T,T') transfer head, whereof the movements are controlled by a processor coupled to the processor of the welding automaton so as to be placed in a theoretical working position marked relative to the theoretical position of the welding electrode to be replaced, as determined by the welding automaton, the transfer (T,T') head including an extractor (E) and a loader (C) capable of being arranged alternately coaxial to a transfer axis fixed relative to the head with an accuracy suitable for replacing the electrode.
