Bolt joining method and tools therefor

摘要

A method for carrying out a stud joining process by a tool performing a working step on a workpiece and the working step is carried out while taking into account at least one parameter value which is selected from a set of values, and the working step is to be carried out at a certain position on the workpiece, and the position determines the parameter value. The method comprises the steps of: storing the parameter value for the position in an RFID transponder; locating the RFID transponder on the workpiece in the region of the position before the working step is carried out, reading the parameter value out from the RFID transponder with an RFID communication device associated with the tool.

1. A method for carrying out a stud joining process by a working step on a workpiece by means of a tool, and the working step is carried out while taking into account at least one parameter value which is selected from a set of values, and the working step is to be carried out at a first position on the workpiece, and the first position determines the parameter value,
wherein the method comprises the steps of:
storing the parameter value for the first position in an RFID transponder;providing a positioning device including a plurality of positioners for defining a plurality of positions on the workpiece;securing the RFID transponder to a first positioner on the positioning device:locating the positioning device temporarily on the workpiece with the RFID transponder in the region of the first position before the working step is carried out; andreading the parameter value out from the RFID transponder with an RFID communication device associated with the tool.
