In summary
Spot welding is the backbone of automotive body-in-white assembly, fusing sheet-metal layers at controlled weld points with heavy 150–300 kg payload robots. Eurobots Marketplace lists used spot welding robots from FANUC, KUKA, ABB and Motoman, sourced from European automotive line retrofits and ready to be redeployed in carpentry, body shops or industrial fabrication.
About this application
Spot welding is the backbone of automotive body-in-white assembly: short, intense bursts of current fuse two or more sheet-metal layers at a controlled set of weld points. A robot is essential — the gun is heavy, the cycle rate is brutal, and weld-point repeatability is what holds a car body together.
Used spot welding robots from FANUC, KUKA, ABB and Motoman come from automotive line retrofits across Europe. Heavy payload (150–300 kg class) is the rule — the gun, transformer and water-cooling lines are a significant load.

Frequently asked questions
What payload does a spot welding robot need?
150–300 kg for typical pedestal or robot-mounted servo guns. Heavy transformer-on-gun setups can push toward 500 kg. Standard models include KUKA KR 210 R2700, FANUC R-2000iB/210F, ABB IRB 6700/235.
Servo gun or pneumatic gun?
Modern lines use servo guns: closed-loop electrode-force control improves weld quality and reduces wear. Older lines may still run pneumatic guns. Most used robots from 2010 onward are servo-gun compatible.
Can a used spot welding robot be re-used for arc welding?
Yes mechanically, but you'll need a different end-of-arm setup, dressout for the torch hose package, and the arc welding software option. The heavy-payload arm is overkill for arc — you may prefer to repurpose it for handling instead.
How long do spot welding robots last?
The mechanical arm easily reaches 15+ years in single-shift use. Heavy multi-shift duty (automotive) typically sees retrofit or refurbishment around 8–10 years, mostly for control-system obsolescence rather than mechanical wear.
