 Abstract:
There have recently been increasing demands for combined interlinked systems for spot welding and gluing of structure parts for the automotive industry. Thus the total stability and consistency of the components is improved considerably.

The systems realized worldwide comprise up to 8 processes in total, such as
" MIG soldering
" Laser cutting and welding
" Welding of nuts
" Sawing
" Gluing
" Hardening / gelling of the glue
" Spot welding
" Stud welding
" Washing
" Interfacing
Thus wide-ranging know how for various areas is globally in demand.
