And the number of application areas is increasing every day. You can also configure and order from more than 20 million parts to save time and money when implementing your projects such as, for example, this welding station for body-in-white production in automotive construction.

The components, in this case initially a flange plate and then a B-pillar plate, are put in the welding station in accordance with the assembly sequence. The components are applied using workpiece-bound contour blocks/NC blocks (NAAMS). This rigid joining device concept exhibits high process reliability, reproducibility and precision. In order to adhere to shape and position tolerances, the exact positioning of components is ensured with positioning pins and the stable fixing thereof is guaranteed with a pneumatic tensioner. Criteria such as the overlapping of joints and the adherence of gap sizes may also be met. Sensors also record whether a component is in the device and whether it is in the right position.
