The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for introducing boreholes into a surface of a workpiece (W) mounted in a stationary manner using a boring tool which is attached to the end face of an articulated-arm robot (KR) and which can be spatially positioned by said robot. The method has the following method steps: - positioning the articulated-arm robot-guided boring tool at a spatial position which lies opposite a specified machining location on the workpiece surface at a specified distance therefrom, - producing a rigid mechanical connection which supports the end face of the articulated-arm robot (KR) on the workpiece and which can be released from the workpiece surface, and - machining the surface by moving the boring tool towards the machining location and subsequently engaging the boring tool with the workpiece (W) at the machining location on the workpiece surface while the end face of the articulated-arm robot (KR) is connected to the workpiece. The invention is characterized by the combination of the following method steps: the boring tool is moved towards the workpiece (W) by means of an NC advancing unit attached to the end face of the articulated-arm robot (KR), the boring process is monitored on the basis of information obtained using a sensor system which detects the position of the boring tool relative to the workpiece surface and which is attached to the end face of the articulated-arm robot (KR), and the boring process is terminated upon reaching a specified boring depth.

The invention relates to a welding assembly for the permanent joining of a first tubular component with a second component along a two- or three-dimensional intersection curve, along which both components contact, comprising a securing assembly for detachably securely joining on a tubular end of the first component facing away from the intersection curve, a manipulator unit mounted directly or indirectly on the securing assembly such that it can pivot about a tube longitudinal axis assigned to the first component, said manipulator unit having a freely positionable manipulator end, as well as comprising a welding tool attached to the freely positionable manipulator end, wherein the securing assembly comprises a clamping module that can at least partially be introduced into the tubular end of the first component on the end side and in an axial manner, which clamping module is designed for detachably securely joining onto a tube inner wall assigned to the first tubular component, as well as a carrier ring module which is rotatably attached to the clamping module, which axially extends beyond the tubular end of the first component in the joined state of the clamping module, and which is in operative connection with a servomotor for the rotary driving of the carrier ring module about the tube longitudinal axis, in such a way that the carrier ring module is mounted such that it can rotate continuously about the tube longitudinal axis. In addition, at least one linear frame is attached to the carrier ring module, which frame is mounted such that it can be moved bidirectionally and parallel to the tube longitudinal axis by means of an actuator. The invention is characterised in that the manipulator unit is a 6-axis open kinematic chain in the form of a vertical articulated robot and is attached to an end of the frame, and in that a supply module is provided on which at least one of the following components is attached: a control unit, an electrical energy supply unit, at least one reservoir for the material relating to the welding process, comprising welding wire and process gas. In addition, the at least one component is connected to the welding tool via a connection line. The supply module is rotatably mounted for performing a rotational movement at the same time as the movement of the welding tool about the tube longitudinal axis, which permits infinite rotations of the welding tool about the tube longitudinal axis. The supply module is connected, in a rotationally fixed manner and such that it is linked in a freely positionable manner along a plane, to the carrier ring module on a support structure formed separately to the welding assembly.
