Abstract
Automatic electrode shaping apparatus comprising a grinding tool adapted to come in contact with the points of electrode tips attached to the tips of arms of a welding machine for grinding said points, a judging device for judging the shaping condition of said points of the electrode tips, and a tip holding mechanism for holding the electrode tips with the grinding tool coming in contact with the electrode tips, the grinding tool and the judging device being movable with respect to the electrode tips and alternatively located in the position opposite to the electrode tips. According to the automatic electrode shaping apparatus, the electrode tips are held by the tip holding mechanism, and ground and shaped with the grinding tool in a stable manner. After the electrode tips have been shaped, the shaping condition of the electrode tips can be judged whether it is good or bad, without moving the electrode tips.
