Spot Welding Explained | How It Differs from Conventional Welding in Industrial Production

Product Info

Spot welding (resistance spot welding) is a fast and reliable method to join thin sheet metals, especially in automotive and appliance production lines. Learn how it works, how it differs from MIG/TIG welding, and why Siam Daiso excels in robotic spot welding.

========================

■ What Is Spot Welding?
Spot welding is a resistance welding method that joins two or more metal sheets using pressure and electric current at specific contact points.

How it works:
- Copper electrodes press against both sides of the sheets
- A high current passes through the contact area
- Heat generated by resistance melts the metal locally
- The molten metal solidifies under pressure, creating a strong weld "spot"

This process is completed in milliseconds, making it highly suitable for high-volume automated production.

========================

■ Key Advantages of Spot Welding
- ✅ Very fast cycle time—perfect for mass production
- ✅ No filler wire or shielding gas required → lower costs
- ✅ Easy integration with robotic welding arms
- ✅ Clean appearance—weld is often hidden inside sheets
- ✅ Reliable and repeatable quality in automated lines

■ Limitations of Spot Welding
- ❌ Not suitable for thick materials (>3mm)
- ❌ Electrodes must access both sides of the workpiece
- ❌ Less effective on metals with very low resistance (e.g., aluminum)
- ❌ Lower overall strength than full seam welds in some cases

========================

■ Spot Welding in the Automotive Industry
In automobile manufacturing, spot welding is widely applied to assemble car body panels, frames, and substructures.

Robotic spot welding systems ensure:
- Faster cycle times
- Consistent weld quality
- Reduced human error

Spot welding is often combined with pressing and EDP coating (Electro-Deposition Painting) in an integrated production line.
