Connecting method for two workpieces, involves assigning retaining units to hollow mold, which hold workpiece section inserted into hollow mold, and workpiece section remains in hollow mold

摘要

The method involves driving the joining unit axially into the workpiece arrangement, while the workpiece arrangement is supported in axial direction using a hollow mold (50), so that a workpiece section is ejected into the hollow mold. The retaining units (64) are assigned to the hollow mold, which hold the workpiece section inserted into the hollow mold, so that the workpiece section remains in the hollow mold, if the mold and the workpiece arrangement are detached from each other. INDEPENDENT CLIAMS are also included for the following: (1) a punching device e.g. for the execution of the joining process after (2) a mold for joining process for a punching device.
