Abstract
Description

[0002] A car's airbag box is a device specifically designed to store and protect the car's airbags.
[0003] In the production process of airbag boxes, resistance welding is a common welding process used to connect and fix the various parts of the airbag. At present, manual alignment welding usually relies on human experience. During manual alignment welding, due to the limitations of human vision and slight jitters during operation, it is difficult to ensure that the relative position between the bracket and the airbag box body is completely accurate. This position deviation may cause the weld joint to deviate from the designed position. Manual alignment welding requires repeated adjustment of the bracket position until a satisfactory alignment effect is achieved. This process is time-consuming. In the automotive manufacturing industry, the production of airbag boxes usually needs to meet the requirements of large quantities and high efficiency. There are differences in the operating habits, experience and skill levels of different workers. This will result in inconsistent welding quality even when welding the same batch of brackets.
