Abstract: A seam welding robot includes a robot arm and a welding unit that is coupled to the robot arm. The welding unit includes a pair of roller electrodes. The pair of roller electrodes rotates following motion of the robot arm while sandwiching and pressurizing welding targets. The welding unit passes a welding electric current between the pair of roller electrodes to seam-weld the welding targets.

Abstract: The seam welding apparatus includes a pair of rotating electrodes, an electrode supporting frame, a distance measuring means, and a controller. The electrode supporting frame supports the pair of rotating electrodes. The distance measuring means is provided on the electrode supporting frame and measures a distance to an edge of the steel plate. The controller controls the robot to adjust a running direction of the rotating electrodes so that a deviation comes into zero when a distance actually measured by the distance measuring means deviates from a predetermined distance. Thereby, it is accomplished that the seam welding apparatus is downsized as well as uninfluenced by the surface state and/or shape of workpiece (steel plate).

Abstract: A seam welding system includes a pair of roller electrodes. The pair of roller electrodes hold a to-be-welded object between circumferential surfaces of the roller electrodes, rotate while holding the to-be-welded object between the circumferential surfaces, and perform seam welding on the to-be-welded object when a current flows between the roller electrodes while rotating and holding the to-be-welded object between the circumferential surfaces. To an electrode movement mechanism, the roller electrodes are mounted. The electrode movement mechanism moves the roller electrodes along a welding line of the to-be-welded object. Drive sources respectively rotate the roller electrodes and a joint of the electrode movement mechanism. A controller controls an amount by which the roller electrodes rotate based on a torque change in the drive sources so as to keep torques respectively acting on the roller electrodes within a predetermined range.

Abstract: A robot system includes an end effector, a robot arm, and a controller. The end effector includes a pressure roller and a linear motion mechanism. The linear motion mechanism is configured to move the pressure roller with respect to a pressed surface. The robot arm is configured to support the end effector. The controller is configured to control the linear motion mechanism to move the pressure roller to make a pressing force of the pressure roller against the pressed surface approximately uniform.
