Definitions

  • the invention relates to a joining device according to the preamble of claim 1 or the preamble of claim 2 with a punch tool and a counter tool and a holder having an opening for receiving the punch tool or the counter tool. Both tools are arranged coaxially aligned with each other at different ends of a C-bracket.
  • Such joining devices are known and are used in particular for producing connections, for example rivet and punched rivet connections.
  • the known joining devices have a stamp provided with a drive and as a counter tool on a matching die, which are arranged coaxially to each other, wherein the coaxiality of the punch and die high demands are made, since this the strength and appearance of the compound produced to a large extent is dependent.
  • the coaxiality must be ensured here in the long term and during movement of the joining device, since these devices produce a high number of connections per unit time with the aid of robots.
  • the so-called C-frame or C-bracket serves as a holder and an abutment in the movement of the tools, the C-bracket on the one hand have a low mass and on the other to absorb the forces occurring in the connection processes.

  • the tools can be retrofitted for wear or a further development easier, faster and cheaper or adapted to new tasks. This is particularly advantageous because C-clamps are very expensive. Due to the high rigidity requirements, they are usually manufactured in one piece with the holder. Due to the separate production of two or more items, the production of the entire C-bracket can be made cheaper and the production time for the C-bracket is shortened.
