Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A setting welding device is set forth for setting stud-like auxiliary joining parts in a plurality of layers of material and subjecting them to a mechanical-thermoforming process on a second layer of material and connecting them to said second layer by way of a welding operation. For this purpose, the punch is used to apply to the welding auxiliary joining part mechanical and thermal loads that follow prescribed characteristic force and current curves. Furthermore, a corresponding connecting method that can be realized with the aid of the setting welding device is also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A retrofit kit for a setting device, wherein the retrofit kit comprises: a recording apparatus for mechanical and electrical process data, a welding apparatus, with which a weld connection can be established via a punch and a counter support of the setting device, a heating apparatus, and a modular control/regulation apparatus, so that combined mechanical and electrical loads via the punch and the counter support can be generated at the welding auxiliary joining part, wherein the combined mechanical and electrical loads ensure a mechanically and thermally supported penetration of at least one first layer of material and a planar welding with a second layer of material. 2. The retrofit kit according to claim 1 , wherein the modular control/regulation apparatus further comprises: a feed apparatus for welding auxiliary joining parts in combination with a hold down device. 3. The retrofit kit according to claim 1 , having an evaluation apparatus as well as a data interface to an electronic control system of the setting device.
