Abstract
A processing tool used to transfer a component, in particular a joining element, from a pick-up position to a processing position. For process-reliable guidance, a guide element held in a hold-down-device is arranged, through which the component is pressed during operation and which exerts an elastic holding force. The guide element has a sleeve, in particular a metallic sleeve, which has a guide structure made of an elastomer. The guide structure is formed in particular by an elastomer ring or by several axial guide strips.

A processing tool for transferring a component from a pick-up position into a processing position, the processing tool comprising:
- a punch that transfers the component from the pick-up position to the processing position;
- a guide element in which the component is guided from the pick-up position to the processing position, the guide element is designed such that during operation it exerts an elastic holding force on the component in such a way that the punch presses the component through the guide element counter to the elastic holding force during operation,
- wherein the guide element has a sleeve in which a guide structure made of an elastomer is arranged for guiding and holding the component
