Abstract: A method for monitoring and/or regulating the quality of spot welds of a resistance welding gun includes measuring and storing measured values during the execution of resistance spot welds at different points on a workpiece. The measured values represent a voltage, a current, a resistance, a welding time, an energy, a force on welding contacts and/or an output during the production of a resistance spot weld. The method also includes comparing the measured values with a reference measurement value. The reference measurement value represents a corresponding voltage, a current, a resistance, a welding time, an energy, a force on welding contacts and/or an output during the production of a corresponding resistance spot weld. The method also includes outputting a warning message when, during the comparison, it is established that a predetermined number of successive measured values is outside a predefined tolerance band from the reference measurement value.
