ROTATIONAL FRICTION WELDING METHOD ROTATIONAL FRICTION WELDING UNIT WITH MEASUREMENT OF THE RELATIVE POSITION AND THE SWAGING BETWEEN THE COMPONENTS FOR JOINING TOGETHER

摘要

The invention relates to a rotational friction welding unit and a rotational friction welding method, for the assembling or connecting of components (11,12), in which a first component (11) is displaced in rotation, a second component (12) remains stationary, the moving component (11) and the stationary component (12) are pressed together with a given force, assembly surfaces on the components (11, 12) for connecting are matched to each other and a connecting bead (20) is formed in the region of the assembly surfaces. According to the invention, a relative position and a swaging between the components (11, 12) for connection to each other are measured, whereby, when a given swaging and a given relative position are reached, the stationary component (12) is released such as to rotate with the rotating component (11).
