Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for joining workpieces by means of a laser beam, wherein the device comprises: a scanner optics for guiding the laser beam; a press element, which, during the joining process, is pressed along a pressing direction onto at least one of the workpieces; and a housing, which houses the scanner optics and the laser beam running from the scanner optics towards the workpieces, wherein the press element forms a part of the housing and is movable relative to the rest of the housing by at least one degree of movement freedom.
