<p>An electrode cap removing station (32) includes a linearly reciprocal drive member (42). Two electrode cap engaging members (66, 68), each having opposed facing knife edges (110, 118), are pivotally connected at one end to a body (48) surrounding the linear drive member (42). Cam follower members (100) mounted on the linear drive member (42) engage cams (90) during reciprocal movement of the drive member (42) to pivot the electrode cap engaging members (66, 68) from an open, spaced apart position to closed position in which the opposed knife edges (110, 118) engage the joint between an electrode cap (16) and a welding electrode (12, 14) to forcibly separate the electrode cap (16) from the welding electrode (12, 14). In an electrode cap mounting station (34), a similar linear drive member (140) pivots first and second electrode cap mounting members (166, 168).</p> |
