Welding Tongs for Resistance Welding

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The invention is a welding clamp (Schweißzange) specifically designed for resistance welding. It features two arms, each equipped with an electrode, where at least one arm is driven by a dedicated actuator. This actuator can move the arm from an open to a closed welding position using a linear force-controlled stroke.
