ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for soldering by means of an industrial robot is disclosed. The apparatus includes a soldering head end effector having retractable continuity sensing probes. The soldering head is particularly adapted to solder metal connector braids onto fused silver ceramic frit bus bars which are associated with the heating elements of defogging automobile back lights. The method includes positioning the work piece sensing the alignment of the bus bar and braid, controlling the robot to its starting position, controlling the robot soldering heat to subsequent preprogrammed soldering positions, holding the connector braid onto the bus bar and soldering the work piece.
