PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chip collector for a tip dresser which has simple structure, can be miniaturized, and is excellent in versatility.;SOLUTION: A dresser body 6a is sidewise installed, a chip capturing case 12A is fitted to the tip thereof, chips generated when shaping electrode tips are captured within a case, and discharged into a chip collection vessel 13 from a chip outlet 12g opened in a lower part of the case. A pair of electrode tips facing each other held by a tip of a welding gun are advanced horizontally from the direction of an arrow. Tip insertion surfaces 12a and 12b with a tip insertion port 12c for permitting the insertion of the electrode tips of the chip capturing case 12A opened therein are formed in a wedge shape expanding in the direction from a front end position to a rear end position with respect to the advancing direction of the welding gun, and thus, the electrode tips can be smoothly led to the tip insertion port 12c without expanding the space between the electrode tips than required.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
