Abstract

An automatic tab plate welding apparatus welds a tab plate to the predetermined corner of a plate. A tab plate table supports the tab plate and determines the position of the tab plate relative to the forward direction of the plate, the widthwise direction of the plate, the vertical direction of the top surface of the plate, and the angle of inclination to the top surface of the plate. A welding torch is also positioned in operative association with the positioning of the plate described above.
