Abstract
A modular welding apparatus comprises a welding assembly having a welding head with an integral actuating assembly. A foot treadle initiates motion of the welding head. A conductive base member is spaced from the welding head. A welding power supply has one lead connected to the welding head and a second lead connected to the base member. An interchangeable welding module is disposed on the base member in electrical contact therewith. The welding module includes a conductive support plate and a locking cam for detachably attaching the support plate to the base member. Two movable, pre-aligned welding electrodes are disposed on the welding module. One of the welding electrodes is electrically connected to the base member and the other welding electrode is electrically connected to the welding head. At least one of the electrodes is in communication with the actuating assembly.
