quality assurance in elektroschweissbaren fasteners

摘要

A data exchange process between a thermoplastic, electrically weldable joining element and a data-processing welding device assures and inspects its quality. The electrically weldable joining element has an integrated, bi-directional data carrier (2) that supplies all relevant and welding-specific data (12) that are relevant to the welding and specific to the production model to the data carrier (4) in the welding device and thus ensures an optimum welding of the element. The data carrier (4) of the welding device supplies all device- and laying-specific data (34, 42) to the data carrier (2) of the joining element, so that retraceability is ensured at any later moment.
