Device for joining at least two components, use of the device and holding element

摘要

The device for joining plain bearing bushes (6) with thrust washers or ring (7), comprises a pressing station (100) with a radial bearing holding element (10) having a first detent element (13) and a first printing device for pressing the bearing bushes into the first holding element, an assembly station (200) with an axial bearing holding element (40) having a second detent element (44) for holding the washers or ring and a second printing device for joining together and linking of the two holding elements, and a welding station for welding the two components. The device for joining plain bearing bushes (6) with thrust washers or ring (7), comprises a pressing station (100) with a radial bearing holding element (10) having a first detent element (13) and a first printing device for pressing the bearing bushes into the first holding element, an assembly station (200) with an axial bearing holding element (40) having a second detent element (44) for holding the washers or ring and a second printing device for joining together and linking of the two holding elements, and a welding station for welding the two components. The detent elements comprise recesses at the holding element, and springy pressing pieces at the other holding element. The radial holding element has a large-diameter first holding section and adjacently small-diameter holding section. The breadth of the second holding section is smaller than the breadth of the first component. The holding sections are springily formed in the radial direction. The first holding element has a clamping ring, which has spring elements arranged next to each other. The holding element has O-ring. The first holding element has an apron covering the second holding element. The pressing pieces are arranged in the apron in inward pointing manner. The second holding element has a circular groove at the outer circumference. The pressing pieces intervene eccentrically in the groove. The welding station has a laser and a table with a trough, into that the interconnected holding elements are insertable. The axis of the table is arranged at an angle (alpha ) is 70-95[deg] C for the laser beams. The laser is arranged over the table. An independent claim is included for holding element.
