Abstract:
A resistance spot welding machine contains a pair of electrodes each having an electrode tip to sandwich a plurality of steel sheets; and an angle correction mechanism that is provided in at least one of the pair of electrodes and that is capable of correcting the angle of the electrode tip to the steel sheets. The resistance spot welding machine spot welds the plurality of steel sheets by sandwiching the plurality of steel sheets with the pair of electrode tips and applying current while a welding force is applied to the pair of electrode tips, and the angle correction mechanism has a pair of universal joints each having an engaging portion having an end with a convex spherical shape and an engaged portion having a concave spherical shape to which the engaging portion fits slidably.
