ABSTRACT:
The spot welding electrodes are driven by the servomotor (30) so as to be moved to and pressured against a work surface. The welding pressure controller (27) detects welding pressure corresponding to current flowing through the servomotor (30) via a driver (26) and controls the welding pressure so as to be changed according to the set welding pressure condition. The welding current flowing through the spot welding electrodes is controlled by the welding current controller (28). The welding current controller (28) and the welding pressure controller (27) are both controlled synchronously by the robot CPU (20) via the system bus (21). The robot CPU (20) controls the welding pressure and the welding current on the basis of the welding condition data (22) stored in a memory, so as to be changed in synchronism with each other at a plurality of welding stages, respectively. By doing this, it is possible to control the welding pressure and the welding current during the spot welding synchronously and systematically, thus realizing a spot welding control adaptive to work behavior.
