To automate the work of removing welding burn through electrolytic treatment without complicated control.SOLUTION: A weld burn removal device comprises: a moving device including a movable body to which a support of an electrolytic end effector is attached, and at least one actuator for moving the movable body; and a processing circuit for controlling the actuator. The processing circuit is configured to perform electrolytic treatment to control a pump to supply an electrolytic solution to the boundary with an electrolytic solution feeder, and to control the actuator to slide an electrode through a short-circuit prevention cover to the weld burn part of the weld workpiece. The support of the electrolytic end effector has a base attached to the movable body of the moving device and a coupler for connecting the electrode to the base in an angularly displaceable manner.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】電解処理による溶接焼けの除去作業を複雑な制御なしに自動化する。【解決手段】溶接焼け除去装置は、電解エンドエフェクタのサポートが取り付けられる可動体と、前記可動体を移動させる少なくとも１つのアクチュエータと、を含む移動装置と、前記アクチュエータを制御する処理回路と、を備える。前記処理回路は、ポンプを制御して電解液フィーダに電解液を境界に供給させながら、前記アクチュエータを制御して短絡防止カバーを介して電極を溶接加工品の溶接焼け部に摺動させる電解処理を実行するように構成される。前記電解エンドエフェクタの前記サポートは、前記移動装置の前記可動体に取り付けられたベースと、前記ベースに対して前記電極を角変位可能に接続するカプラと、を有する。【選択図】図１
