Abstract

A joining device for joining two parts by welding has a joining head including a lift device for linear transport of a joining unit along a lift axis relative to the joining head. The joining device executes a joining operation by transporting the joining unit out of a lift position towards a base position. The joining unit includes a boom extending outside of the joining head, at a free end of which the joining operation takes place offset and parallel to the lift axis. The joining unit is oriented relative to the joining head such that the joining unit runs out relative to the joining head in the lift position.
