Abstract
Described herein is a single-sided welding head including a first welding electrode and a second welding electrode, where the first and second welding electrodes are carried by a body of said welding head. The first welding electrode is movable relative to the body of said welding head at least along a first coordinate of motion. The second welding electrode is movable relative to the body of said welding head at least along a second coordinate of motion; where said first coordinate of motion is a coordinate of angular motion that develops about a first axis of rotation, and said second coordinate of motion is a coordinate of linear motion that develops along a first axis of translation.
Claims14
A single-sided welding head, comprising:
- a first welding electrode and a second welding electrode, the first and second welding electrodes being carried by a body of said welding head, wherein:
- the first welding electrode having a first longitudinal axis and being movable relative to the body of said welding head at least along a first coordinate of motion;
- the second welding electrode having a second longitudinal axis and being movable relative to the body of said welding head at least along a second coordinate of motion;
- said first coordinate of motion is a coordinate of angular motion that develops about a first axis of rotation;
- said second coordinate of motion is a coordinate of linear motion that develops along a first axis of translation;
- and
- the first welding electrode is housed in a first cradle moveably connected to the body of said welding head about the first axis of rotation, said first cradle being moveably connected to a first portion of a first linear actuator, and wherein a second portion of said first linear actuator, movable relative to said first portion, is fixed to the body of said welding head.
