Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for connecting a first component to at least one second component by at least one joining element which is introduced into the components at a joining point. The joining element is pushed into the components by an industrial robot at a speed of less than five meters per second.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preventing evasion of a nail while connecting a first component to a second component by the nail, the nail being introduced into the first and second components at a joining point, comprising the steps of: supporting the first and second components on a counter holder; and pushing the nail into the first and second components in a multi-step joining procedure while supporting the first and second components on a surface of the counter holder facing the nail, wherein in a first step of the multi-step joining procedure the nail is pushed by a first joining device toward the surface of the counter holder and only partially into the first and second components up to an intermediate point only at a speed of less than five meters per second and in a second step of the multi-step joining procedure the nail is pushed by a second joining device toward the surface of the counter holder and from the intermediate point completely into an end position in the first and second components only at the speed of less than five meters per second. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the speed is 0.01 meters per second to 2 meters per second. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first joining device is an industrial robot. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the industrial robot has a base, a plurality of arms, and a head, wherein the head and the plurality of arms are movable relative to one another.
