ABSTRACT:
An assembly is provided for mounting on an end of a robot arm actuator as an integral spot resistance welding gun and transformer unit. A gun slide support bracket is connected to the transformer and serves to provide a mount for a sliding gun cylinder having a piston connected to one of the jaw electrodes. The lower jaw is removably connected to the cylinder. Roller shunts are used to provide electrical connection between secondary terminals on the transformer and the two electrodes. A proximity switch assembly is advantageously utilized to provide signals to the robot controller indicating a fully retracted position of the jaws.
