Abstract

In a method for connecting two workpieces together by welding, the workpieces are placed on clamping tables by a feed unit and are joined together by a welded seam. First, the workpieces are positioned in the feed unit. The feed unit is then traversed between the clamping tables and deposits the workpieces on them. Simultaneously with its feed movement, the unit expels the workpieces welded together in the preceding cycle.
