Resistance welding – The Institute at JEC World 2019 in Paris
Since the welding process has a high automation potential, it is well suited for efficient series production. In addition to resistance welding (picture), ultrasonic welding is currently being industrialized as a suitable joining technique at the Institute of Structures and Construction Technology.
