To provide a welding robot which can realize a high profile follow-up capability not only for a preceding electrode but also for a following electrode in following a weld line in tandem welding.
A translation correction computation unit 23 corrects a target value Plead(t) by a translation correction level P(t) in a preceding electrode 5a, which is a correction level in a translation direction in a base coordinate system base at a position of a void time in the preceding electrode 5a to obtain a primary correction target value Plead(t)'. A rotary correction computing unit 24 calculates a rotation correction level (t) for correcting a deviation of the posture of the torch 6 around the preceding electrode 5a from an actual welding line Lre caused by the correction by the translation correction level P(t) and calculates a secondary correction target value Plead(t)" obtained by correcting the primary correction target value Plead(t)' so that the torch 6 is rotated around the preceding electrode 5a by the rotation correction level (t). A manipulator 2 is driven by the secondary correction target value Plead (t)".
