Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and apparatus for increasing inspection efficiency and reducing time for analyzing an image when inspecting contamination and alignment of the welding tip of the spot welding gun. An apparatus for inspecting a welding tip according to some embodiments of the present invention is configured to inspect the contamination and the alignment of the welding tip based on an end-surface image and a profile image of the welding tip. In particular, when recording the welding tip through an internal housing arranged in an internal space of an external housing, the noise generated from an external light source can be blocked, and hence the contamination and the alignment of the welding tip can be inspected by using a clearer image, thus improving the accuracy of the inspection.

Abstract: Provided is a method for grinding electrode tips such that the method is capable of detecting irregular grinding when the maximum torque does not occur. Specifically, a tip dresser includes a holder holding a cutter, a servo motor unit allowing the holder to rotate, and a controller controlling the operation of the servo motor unit. The servo motor unit outputs a torque occurrence signal to the controller when a load torque reaches a predetermined value in regular grinding of a pair of electrode tips. The controller detects irregular grinding when not receiving the torque occurrence signal within a time that corresponds to an elapsed time in the regular grinding.

Abstract: A grinding system includes a period determiner that determines, on the basis of a torque of a grinder of a dresser that grinds a welding tip, whether the current period is a grinding period in which the grinder is grinding the welding tip or a non-grinding period in which the grinder is not grinding the welding tip; and an anomaly detector that detects anomalies that are associated beforehand with each of the grinding period and the non-grinding period.
