Abstract
A short-time arc welding system and method for welding elements on parts includes: a robot having an arm moveable in at least one coordinate axis; a welding head mounted on the arm having a holding device to hold an element, and a lifting device for advancing and returning the holding device, and; a measuring system for determining a relative position between the part and the element. The measuring system includes: a foot mounted on the welding head which contacts the part during operation to determine the relative position; and a positioning device to position the foot relative to the element in at least two different operating positions. A storage device stores a plurality of welding positions. The measuring system positions the foot in an operating position for each stored welding position.
