Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 81 words
An automatic welding machine comprising a horizontal beam (1) on which two or more welding guns or tongs (12) are mounted movably with a plurality of degrees of freedom by way of mountings (2) which are displaceable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the beam (1) and which are rotatable relative to the beam (1) about axes (13) (arrow 4), characterised in that the mountings of the welding guns (12) or tongs are formed as bending arm robots (2).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 81 words
An automatic welding machine comprising a horizontal beam (1) on which two or more welding guns or tongs (12) are mounted movably with a plurality of degrees of freedom by way of mountings (2) which are displaceable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the beam (1) and which are rotatable relative to the beam (1) about axes (13) (arrow 4), characterised in that the mountings of the welding guns (12) or tongs are formed as bending arm robots (2).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
An automatic welding machine according to claim 1 characterised in that the bending arm robots (2) are guided displaceably independently of each other on the beam (1).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
An automatic welding machine according to claim 1 characterised in that the bending arm robots (2) are guided on the beam (1) displaceably by equal distances in opposite or the same directions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
An automatic welding machine according to one of claims 1 to 3 characterised in that the axes of rotation (13) of the bending arm robots (2) extend parallel to each other. -
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 46 words
An automatic welding machine according to one of claims 1 to 3 characterised in that the axis of rotation (13) of at least one of the bending arm robots (2) is inclined with respect to the axis of rotation (13) of another bending arm robot (2).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 52 words
An automatic welding machine according to claim 5 characterised in that the axes (13) of the bending arm robots (2) include an angle of for example 90° to each other, wherein at least one of the axes (13) is disposed in a plane normal to the longitudinal axis of the beam (1).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 44 words
An automatic welding machine according to one of claims 1 to 6 characterised in that the beam (1) is guided for upward and downward movement (arrow 10) at one end or at both of its ends, on one or two perpendicularly disposed columns (9).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 33 words
An automatic welding machine according to one of claims 1 to 7 characterised in that the beam (1) is displaceable horizontally (arrow 11) by displacement of the columns or column (9) carrying same.
