Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2362121A] Single sided resistance welding apparatus comprises an electrically operated servo motor 4 connected to drive a welding electrode 3 a predetermined distance into engagement with a surface of a first metallic member 1 to be welded to a second metallic member 2 to which access is limited and which is in engagement with the first metallic member 1. Means 7 are provided for dynamically controlling the position of the welding electrode 3 with respect to the surface of the first metallic member 1 during the welding operation by controlled activation of the electrically operated servo motor 4. The first and second metallic members 1, 2 may comprise a metal sheet and metal tube produced by a hydroforming process respectively.
