Abstract
The invention relates to a device for welding rod-shaped conductors (14), comprising a compression chamber for receiving joining sections (13) of the conductors to be joined together, the compression chamber being limited in a first axial direction (z-axis) on two opposite sides by an active surface of a sonotrode (16) transmitting ultrasonic vibrations in the direction of the z-axis and by a counter surface of a counter electrode (18), the device having a knife device which is provided with a drive device and comprises a knife (24) movable in the direction of the z-axis, said knife having a cutting edge which can be moved past the compression chamber, wherein a drive motor of the drive device is arranged in an installation space arranged below the sonotrode, the drive motor being connected to a knife holder (26) via a deflection gear (31) in order for the knife to be able to perform a cutting motion, the knife being moveable in the direction of the z-axis.
