spot welder
Localized fusion tool
A spot welder is a machine that joins metal sheets by applying heat and pressure at specific points rather than along a continuous seam.
Electric current passes through copper electrodes, fusing the metal where they press together.
The technique is standard in automotive manufacturing, where robots spot-weld car body panels: The assembly line had twelve spot welders working in sequence.
