Abstract: A method for positioning a welding clamp includes: a first step of determining a reference clamp position on a first workpiece (STEP 2); a second step of determining a first workpiece state in welding and determining the presence or absence of a site having a deflection larger than a predetermined deflection amount in the first workpiece (STEPs 3 to 5); and a third step of, if the second step determines the presence, determining the site as an additional clamp position (STEP 6.). The method suitably determines a limited number of clamp positions that cause no welding target workpiece deflection exceeding the predetermined deflection amount by repeating the second step and the third step until the second step determines the absence.
