Abstract
Welding has been one of the leading applications for industrial robots since they were first introduced in the late 1970s. The majority of the early installations were spot welding applications in the automotive industry and by the mid “80 s it was unusual to see a car plant without a couple of hundred robots wielding spot‐weld guns.
