Abstract
An automated welding system utilizing integrally mounted robots within a self-contained and repositionable work station. One or more work tables are shuttled between loading and welding stations. The robot is mounted directly adjacent the operating stage, thereby drastically reducing the required floor space. The robot arm is designed to be programed to replicate a desired welding operation in an automated fashion.
