A spot welding system is an integrated package of tools and components designed
to meet specific welding requirements. A typical system includes the components
and optional equipment listed below. Figure 1-1 shows a typical system
configuration.

The XRC controls the operation of the spot welding system. It coordinates the
operation of the various components of the system through execution of instruction
sequences provided in the robot program or “job” file. As the XRC steps through
the series of instructions, it directs the movement of the robot and operates the
weld control.
