AI Technical Summary
Existing joining tool units face challenges in safety and practical application, particularly when using light-based energy, due to the need for additional enclosures and complex designs that hinder automation and increase costs.
A joining tool unit with a hold-down device featuring a light guide system that shields light beams internally, allowing for safe and efficient light-based energy input without additional enclosures, integrated into the hold-down device to guide light to the workpiece, ensuring light-tight protection and simplified design.
Enables safe and cost-effective use of light-based energy for joining processes, facilitating automated applications and enabling processing of difficult material combinations with reduced cycle times and enhanced safety.
