Abstract
The electrode holder comprises a body suspended by an articulated link from a sling this articulated link comprising a pivot collar in which the body can rotate around a principal longitudinal, swiveling axis X and a pivot mounted on this collar and by means of which the body can pivot on the end of the sling around a horizontal lateral axis y perpendicular to axis X. The body is integral with an inclinometer giving the value and sense of the angle of pivot of the body around the principal axis X, and of the lateral axis y in relation to a reference vertical. This information is used to identify the welding location and to automatically select the appropriate welding sequence corresponding to this location. This sequence is coded and transferred to a welding control cabinet to be executed.
