AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing resistance welding devices require manual intervention to adjust the distance between the working and rest positions of the movable electrode, leading to inefficiencies and potential deterioration of clamping means over time.

Method used

A resistance welding apparatus with a mechanism that allows the movable electrode to move between a working position and a retracted position without manual manipulation, utilizing locking, actuating, and return means to automatically adjust the electrode's position, facilitated by a single-acting cylinder and a locking latch system.

Benefits of technology

Enables automatic adjustment of the movable electrode's position, accommodating thicker metal elements and overcoming obstacles, while simplifying the welding process and reducing mechanical wear.

Abstract

TITLE: Welding apparatus comprising an arm comprising a translationally movable electrode The invention relates to a resistance welding apparatus comprising a clamp (1) intended to support an arm comprising a first part (1A) supporting a fixed electrode (2) and a second part (1B) supporting a translationally movable electrode (3), the electrodes (2, 3) being intended to be traversed by an electric current and to grip metal elements to weld them, the movable electrode (3) being configured to move between a working position (P0) in which the electrodes (2, 3) grip the metal elements to be welded and two open positions allowing the metal elements to be welded to be inserted between the electrodes (2, 3) arranged opposite one another.
