METHOD FOR PRODUCING A LASER WELD SEAM BETWEEN COMPONENTS BY MEANS OF A SPHERICAL OR SPHERE-LIKE ELEMENT, AND CORRESPONDING COMPONENT CONNECTION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a weld seam (4) on or at a first component (1), or in the region of a first component (1), from which at least one spherical or sphere-like element (2) projects, the position of said at least one spherical or sphere-like element (2) being detected using an optoelectronic detection device (8) and corresponding position data are generated, and the weld seam (4) being produced contact-free using an electronically-controlled laser welding device (5) that is arranged at a distance from said first component (1) and said at least one spherical or sphere-like element (2). The laser welding device (5) is controlled on the basis of, or using, the position data of the spherical or sphere-like element (2).
