Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of welding work cells (10) are disclosed. One embodiment includes a workpiece positioning system (100), a welding power source (300), and a welding job sequencer (200). The workpiece positioning system (100) powers an elevating motion and a rotational motion of a workpiece mounted between a headstock (110) and a tailstock (120) to re-position the workpiece for a next weld to be performed. The welding power source (300) generates welding output power based on a set of welding parameters of the power source. The welding job sequencer (200) commands the workpiece positioning system (100) to re-position the workpiece from a current position to a next position in accordance with a next step of a welding sequence of a welding schedule (222). The welding job sequencer (200) also commands the welding power source (300) to adjust a current set of welding parameters to a next set of welding parameters in accordance with the next step of the welding sequence of the welding schedule (222). The invention further discloses a method (700) of manipulating a welding cell.
