Abstract

The invention relates to a device for compacting and then welding electric conductors, especially for making through or terminal connections of flexes by means of ultrasound in a compression chamber adapted to the conductor and adjustable for height and width, in which the conductors to be welded are first compacted and then welded. The compression chamber is adjustable to a predetermined height-width ratio regardless of the cross section of the conductors to be welded.
