Robotics spot welding, a form of resistance welding, is widely used in industrial applications, particularly in the automotive industry, for joining sheet metal. This process involves a robot arm equipped with welding electrodes applying pressure and an electrical current to the metal pieces, creating a weld at specific points. Robotics spot welding represents a significant advancement in manufacturing technology, offering unparalleled precision, efficiency, and safety, making it an integral part of modern production lines, especially in industries where high-quality welds are essential.
