Abstract
A butt-welding device and a method for butt welding workpieces, especially for double-upset resistance-pressure butt-welding of workpieces, particularly wires, strands and profiles, has first and second clamping members for receiving the ends of the workpieces that are to be joined. At least one clamping means can be moved between a starting position and a welding position. At least one deburring tool is provided for deburring the welded workpiece ends. In addition, at least one sensor is provided to determine the geometric dimensions of the workpieces that are to be joined, especially the diameter, the width or the height in the joining plane or substantially parallel thereto, wherein a control unit controls the movement of the clamping members and/or of the deburring tool as a function of the geometric dimension.
