Abstract
A welding device with which two components can be pressed against each other comprises a static first section and a second section movable relative to the first section. At least one drive system is connected at a first end to the first section and at a second end to the second section, as well as at least one elastic guiding system by which the first section and the second section are connected to one another. The first section and the second section are movable relative to each other along only one axis due to at least one elastic guiding system, so that an axial length of the arrangement can be varied. A moving coil drive may be used or another drive without mechanical losses or with mechanical losses less than a clamping force to be applied during operation.

Welding device positioning arrangement with which, when used in a welding device, a first component can be pressed against a second component with a force, the welding device positioning arrangement comprising the following features:
- a. a static first section and a second section movable relative to the static first section, wherein in operation the first component can be pressed against the second component by the second section,
- b. at least one drive system connected at a first end to the first section and at a second end to the second section, and
- c. at least one elastic guiding system by means of which the first section and the second section are connected to each other, wherein
- d. the first section and the second section are movable relative to each other along only one axis due to the at least one elastic guiding system, so that an axial length of the welding device positioning arrangement can be varied, and
- e1. the at least one drive system comprises a moving coil drive or
- e2. the at least one drive system comprises a piezo motor, a linear motor, an electromagnetic drive system, a coil system or a drive with field or excitation coil or
- e3. the at least one drive system comprises a rotatory motor which comprises mechanical losses which are less than a force with which, in operation, the first component can be pressed against the second component, wherein the force is ≤1 kN, preferably ≤500 N and particularly preferably ≤250 N.
