US 2012/0267349 A1 · JOINING DEVICE FOR NON-POSITIVE JOINING BY MEANS OF A FILLER MATERIAL USING SENSORS

Abstract

A joining device for a bonded connection by means of a filler material has a feeding device for a wire as the filler material, which is configured to feed the wire during operation of the joining device at a predetermined speed of advance, and a guiding device for an energy beam with at least two partial beams for the melting of the wire. The joining device has a first measuring sensor for detecting a lateral deflection of the wire and a second measuring sensor for detecting a quantity related to the advancement of the wire, wherein the guiding device for the energy beam is connected to the first and the second measuring sensor and configured such that the energy beam is deflected and/or focused in dependence on the output signals of the first and second measuring sensor.
