What are the differences between arc welding robots and spot welding robots?

Welding robots are composed of robots and welding equipment. The robot consists of a body and a control cabinet. Welding robots can be selected in different types according to different workpieces to be welded. Common welding robots include spot welding robots and arc welding robots. So what is the difference between the two?

The difference between spot welding robot and arc welding robot:

Spot welding robots and arc welding robots are the most popular types of robots in the automated welding market. Spot welding robots and arc welding robots can play a greater role in the production line. The two types of welding robots have their own characteristics, different welding processes, and different requirements for weldable workpieces.

1. Difference in application scope

Arc welding robots can be used in the fields of automobile manufacturing, general machinery, hardware and building materials, fitness equipment, etc. Spot welding robots are more commonly used in automobile production workshops for accurate welding. They can form spot welding robot production lines and improve production line efficiency.

2. Differences in welding accuracy requirements

The programming of arc welding robots is relatively complicated. It is necessary to control the welding gun posture and track accuracy. In the programming process, the track should be close to the teaching track. It should also have software functions with different swing styles for selection during programming to facilitate swing welding. Spot welding robots mainly focus on the positioning of points and workpieces, and the requirements for motion tracks are not so strict.

3. Differences in product features

Arc welding robots are mostly made of six-axis structures. For welding of large workpieces, guide rails or ground rails can be added to work. The load is selected according to the robot model. Spot welding robots are mainly driven by electric servo. Appropriate welding tongs can be selected according to the load of the workpiece. They can hold larger weights.
