ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method of controlling a pressure application resistant welding machine by setting in advance a danger region where a foreign matter is liable to be inserted, of reducing torque of an electric motor to an extent not to injure the foreign matter in the danger region so as to lessen a pressure applied to the foreign matter from the electrode, thereby performing a welding operation with safety and assurance. The method comprising steps of partitioning a moving region of the electrode into a safety region and a danger region, setting a range of the safety region to be substantially the same as a maximum thickness of a workpiece to be welded, setting a range of the danger region to be substantially the same as a thickness of a foreign matter to be inserted between the workpiece and the electrode, permitting a torque of an electric motor to generate a given pressure application force in the electrode in the safety region, permitting the torque of the electric motor in the danger region to be smaller than that in the safety region to an extent not to injure the foreign matter, recognizing the presence of the foreign matter in the danger region in response to an anomalous change of a current value of the electric motor to stop driving of the electric motor, and permitting the electrode to continuously perform a pressure application operation even if the current value of the electric motor is changed in the safety region.
