    Abstract: A touch-up welding apparatus for welding such portions of a motorcar body which remain unwelded after the body has passed along a main welding portion of an assembly line. Plural welding gun magazines holding differing welding guns are disposed along side of a welding station into which the motorcar body is positioned. A framework surrounds the welding station and supports the main body of a welding robot which is movable laterally and longitudinally of the station. A turnable, swingable wrist portion is provided on a lower end of an upwardly and downwardly movable robot arm attached to the robot main body.
