Abstract

The present applicant relates to, in a first aspect, a robot end effector (120). The robot end effector (120) comprises an end effector distal end (121) and an end effector proximal end (122), a welding tool (150), a slot (130) configured to receive an elongated workpiece, and a gripping mechanism (140) configured to grip the elongated workpiece. In a further aspect, a method for gripping and welding an elongated workpiece using a robot end effector (120), is also provided. The method comprises gripping the elongated workpiece, aligning the longitudinal axis of the elongated workpiece with a predetermined reference axis of the robot end effector, and welding the elongated workpiece with a panel.
