The invention provides new automatic welding equipment for an exhaust manifold and a working method of the new automatic welding equipment. The new automatic welding equipment comprises equipment racks, single-section welding worktables, a multifunctional manipulator, a flange slideway, a combined welding worktable and a polishing device; the single-section welding worktables can move butt weld leftwards and rightwards and overturn the butt weld, a weldment can be rotated through arranged clamping claws during welding, all sections of manifolds can be combined and butted together through the combined welding worktable, and after an exhaust main pipe is welded, polishing can be automatically conducted; and the multifunctional manipulator is provided with an automatic clamping structure, andworking heads can be automatically replaced and clamped through the automatic clamping mechanism. According to the new automatic welding equipment for the exhaust manifold and the working method of the new automatic welding equipment, segmented welding is conducted first, then overall welding is conducted, polishing is conducted after welding, the working heads of the equipment can be automatically replaced, thus the functions of welding, carrying, detecting and stress removing are achieved, and the new automatic welding equipment is quite suitable for welding of the exhaust manifold.
