Fusing apparatus is provided with a fusing electrode holder for holding one or more fusing electrodes defining a plurality of fusing contact regions. One fusing contact region is repeatedly engaged with successive workpieces, such as electric motor rotors, to fuse elements of each workpiece. The apparatus is provided with a shifting device for mechanically moving the fusing electrode holder to present a new fusing contact surface region, preferably after a predetermined number of cycles. Preferably, the ground electrode holder is also shifted to present a new ground contact region. Because the contact regions are renewed, productivity and quality will not be affected by electrode wear. The fusing electrode holder may be a rotatable turret having radial holes for receiving rod-like fusing electrodes, the turret being rotated to swing a new fusing electrode into position on each change cycle. The ground electrode holder may be arranged to hold a blade-like ground electrode having an elongated edge, the ground electrode holder being shifted to align a new region of this edge for contact with further workpieces.
