ABSTRACT:
An umbilical-member managing structure for a welding torch in an arc welding robot. The umbilical members include a welding wire fed to the welding torch, a tubular liner surrounding the welding wire, a tube for supplying an assist gas to the welding torch, and an electrical conductor for feeding a welding current to the welding torch. The arc welding robot is provided with a wire feeding device mounted on the manipulator for feeding the welding wire to the welding torch. The umbilical-member managing structure includes a flexible conduit containing the umbilical members, which includes a first connecting section provided at one longitudinal end connected to the welding torch, and a second connecting section provided at another longitudinal end connected to the wire feeding device; and a connection mechanism for rotatably connecting the conduit to at least one of the welding torch and the wire feeding device.
