Abstract:
Bei einem Verfahren zum Verschweißen eines Schweißelements (100), insbesondere eines Bolzens, mit einem metallischen Werkstück (200) mittels einem Lichtbogen (60), wird mit Hilfe einer Einrichtung zur Positionsbestimmung (5,10) während des Schweißvorgangs die Position des Lichtbogens (60) bestimmt. Hierdurch wird ermöglicht, dass der Lichtbogen während des Schweißprozesses eine regelungstechnische Beeinflussung erfährt. Dies kann genutzt werden um während der Schweißzeit den Lichtbogen geeignet zu lenken.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the manufacture of hybrid joints more particularly to the manufacture of joints between parts made of differing materials and most particularly to the manufacture of a metallic component comprising a plurality of preformed projections which penetrate composite fabric within a composite part. Particularly there is a method of forming an array of projections on a surface of a metallic component, the method including the steps of bringing at least one preformed projection into at least close proximity to the surface of the component and causing a portion of the projection and a portion of the component in the region of an intersection thereof to at least partially melt, and causing them to be joined together.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for welding a weld-on element onto a mating piece, comprising at least the step of wetting at least one of the joining partners in a welding region uniformly with a wetting agent, in particular a lubricant, across the entire surface and in a layer thickness prior to the welding process.
Abstract:
A holding device (30) of a joining tool (11) for holding a fastening arrangement (16) to be joined to a workpiece (18) is, the fastening arrangement (16) having a clip (20) and a stud (22) premounted thereon and extending along a longitudinal axis (23), the holding device (30) having at least one clip-holder finger (52) for bearing against the clip (20) and at least two stud-holder fingers (46) for bearing against the stud (22), the stud-holder fingers (46) being arranged so as to be offset in the circumferential direction with respect to the clip-holder finger (52). The stud-holder fingers (46) extend in the longitudinal direction from a stud-holder basic body (44) and can be widened elastically with respect to one another in the radial direction, so that the holding device (30) for receiving and holding the fastening arrangement (16) can be pushed onto the fastening arrangement (16) in the longitudinal direction.
Abstract:
A method for joining studs to workpieces, in particular for the purpose of stud welding, comprising the steps of acquiring a distinguishing dimension of a stud to be joined by the application of a sensing element to the stud and through measurement of a travel distance of the sensing element as it is applied to the stud; and then joining the stud to a workpiece, if the dimension of the stud is within an allowable tolerance range, and the allowable tolerance range is adapted in dependence on the travel distance of the sensing element measured during a preceding method step.
Abstract:
A method for processing parts. In one advantageous embodiment, a setoff set of studs (1014) are welded to a part (1004) to form a set of fixed studs (1014). A set of tabs (1006) are attached to the set of fixed studs (1014). The set of tabs (1006) are affixed to a manufacturing tool (1100).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for joining, in particular arc welding, a first component to a second component, in which the welding process takes place in a protective or inert gas atmosphere, as for example when studs are welded to a workpiece such as a vehicle body panel, or vehicle body parts are connected to the chassis by means of studs which are provided with a thread. During stud welding it is necessary to coordinate electric switching processes with mechanical movements of the stud and the movement of the protective gas in order to be able to handle the very rapid melting and solidification processes without introducing distortions caused by gas pressure. The present invention relates to protective gas welding with a flow of protective gas towards the rear.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Prüfstand (1) zum Überprüfen eines Schweißkopfs (2) eines Schweißroboters, mit einer Kopfhalterung (4) zum Befestigen eines vom Schweißroboter entfernten, zu überprüfenden Schweißkopfs (2) und einer Steuerungsanordnung (17,18) zum Betätigen des Schweißkopfs (2) zur Durchführung von Schweißvorgängen.
Abstract:
A hydraulic port weld stud that includes a stud portion having a longitudinal axis and a first bore formed along the longitudinal axis less than an entire length of the stud portion. A port portion extends along an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the stud portion. The port portion includes a second bore extending along the transverse axis and intersects the first bore of the stud portion. The port portion and stud portion are integrally formed without the need for a joining or welding operation.
