Suspension devices in automobiles are devices that prevent shocks on the road surface from being transmitted directly to the vehicle body or engine so as to allow the vehicle to travel stably. Such suspension devices are used in suspension devices such as suspension spring, shock absorber, Components.
Among them, the control arms (lower arm and upper arm) support the wheel and control the movement thereof, and durability is required as the force is simultaneously transmitted from the wheel in various directions when the vehicle is running.
At this time, the control arm is connected to the knuckle at one end via the ball joint and the other end is connected to the frame via the shaft together with the bush. The control arm has a rigid steel (Steel) or aluminum.
However, the control arm of steel is manufactured through many manufacturing processes.
In addition, the aluminum control arm is produced by forging the whole shape by the forging method and assembling the accessories such as the bush and the ball joint. Therefore, when the aluminum control arm is manufactured by the forging method using aluminum, In general, the manufacturing cost is more than three times as much as that of the steel material, and the early replacement of the forged metal mold for manufacturing the control arm greatly increases the mold replacement cost.
In addition, the aluminum control arm using the forged construction method has a complicated manufacturing process like the steel material control arm, and the productivity of the entire manufacturing process is also lowered.
Therefore, recently, a first processed product (hereinafter referred to as a "workpiece") is produced by using a method such as forging, and then a control arm is manufactured by welding some parts (hereinafter referred to as "base material") to a workpiece .
However, since the welding operation is continued while lacking the welding gas in the process of manufacturing the control arm of the vehicle through the welding, the weld bead is not uniformly formed, and at the same time, many pores are formed in the bead, .
In addition, when the air pressure of the clamping unit for fixing the workpiece and the base material drops below the proper pressure, the gap between the workpiece and the workpiece must be maintained, There is a problem that the welding is defective.
The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a welding robot, which detects, monitors and controls a pressure of a welding gas supplied to the welding robot, The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art.
Further, the present invention provides a welding apparatus capable of preventing a problem that welding is performed without closely keeping the material to be welded and the material to be welded by sensing the air pressure of the clamping unit for fixing the workpiece and the workpiece, There is another purpose in.
In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a welding apparatus capable of detecting the cause of the shutdown when the operation of the welding apparatus is stopped by detecting the welding gas and the clamping pneumatic pressure, have.
