A welding position is a set of welding equipment for operations that require some degree of participation by a welder.
Welding stations may be used in arc welding, resistance welding and gas welding. The welding equipment includes the welding machine, power supplies and devices directly used to conduct the welding process for the rapid assembly of the parts to be welded, for holding the parts during welding, and for preventing. Auxiliary equipment used for transporting the parts during welding and for mounting and transporting the welding apparatus and various welding tools used by the welder. The technical characteristics of welding equipment are determined by the welding method chosen, the type of production, and the degree of mechanization, whether manual, semiautomatic, or automatic welding is performed.
In order to protect personnel in the area from radiation, the welding station is enclosed by curtains. Fixed automated stations are widely used in modern manufacturing processes; such stations are located in manufacturing shops.
