Automatic welding machine
First Claim
1. An automatic welding machine comprising a baseplate for placing workpieces that are to be welded, and with a welding head that can move in an A-B-C direction and that is part of a welding apparatus, the welding head being coupled to an X-Y-Z motion mechanism for the automatic motion of the welding head along the workpieces according to the norm of a control routine that has been prescribed by a preceding teach-in-process and that has been stored in a control device,characterized in that the X-Y-Z motion mechanism includes at least three linear motion devices, each driven by a motor with a self-locking gear mechanism, and in that a handle with integrated sensors for an operator is present on the X-Y-Z motion mechanism, and in that these sensors are coupled to the control device, and in that the motors of the X-Y-Z motion mechanism can be moved exclusively according to the measure of the output signals from the sensors.

Abstract
The invention relates to an automatic welding machine comprising an X-Y-Z moving mechanism (100) with three linear motion devices each driven by a motor (101, 102, 103) with a self-locking drive. The X-Y-Z moving mechanism (100) has a handle (41) with integrated sensors (a . . . f) which is to be held by an operator. The sensors (a . . . f) are coupled to a control unit (300) and the motors (101, 102, 103) of the X-Y-Z moving mechanism (100) can be moved exclusively in accordance with the output signals of said sensors (a . . . f).
