ップを交換する必要がある。2. Description of the Related Art Automatic spot welding is carried out by a welding robot in a car body assembly line or the like. This automatic spot welding is performed by sandwiching a welding point between a pair of upper and lower electrode tips attached to a welding gun. When the number of times of welding is increased, the tip of the electrode tip is covered with an oxide film, the tip area becomes large, and pickup (dirt) is attached, which causes welding failure. Therefore, when welding was performed a certain number of times, the tip of the electrode tip was cut by an electrode tip cutting device to remove the oxide film and the pickup, and the tip shape of the electrode tip was shaped to the original shape. However, if this shaping is repeated, the electrode tip becomes shorter, so it is necessary to replace this electrode tip.

でいる。Conventionally, the replacement of the electrode tip has been performed by an operator, and in order to remove the electrode tip, a chisel is applied to the attachment end of the electrode tip fitted in the attachment portion of the welding gun. The tip of the electrode is knocked down from the attachment part of the welding gun by hitting the glass with a hammer. Also,
To attach the electrode tip, the attachment end of the electrode tip is applied to the attachment portion of the welding gun, the electrode tip is hit with a hammer or the like, and the electrode tip is tapped into the attachment portion of the welding gun.
