Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention provides a robot control device and a spot welding system that are capable of roughening the surfaces of electrodes without requiring additional special devices or effort. The robot control device controls the operation of a robot that comprises a spot welding gun having a pair of electrodes positioned facing each other. The robot control device has a robot operation control unit that moves the pair of electrodes of the spot welding gun to a blade polishing position so that the surfaces of the pair of electrodes are polished by a rotating blade of an electrode polishing device. The robot control device changed the position of the pair of electrodes in contact with the blade from the polishing position so as to scratch the surfaces of the pair of electrodes after the polishing by the blade.
