Process for forming a punch rivet connection

摘要

The invention relates to a process for forming a punch rivet connection and to a joining device, a plunger (4) and optionally a holding-down device (5) being driven via a transmission unit (2). The transmission unit (2) converts a rotational movement of an electric motor drive unit (1) into a translation movement of the plunger (4) or of the holding-down device (5).
