IT1055687B - Welding contact parts on support surface - uses reciprocating welding electrode and contact part inserting device parallel to support surface - Google Patents

Abstract

The metal contact part is deposited onto a location on a support element surface by welding in a procedure in which the metal contact blank is inserted in a defined direction into a reciprocally moving welding and feed electrode whose motion is at right angles to the support surface at the desired location. The inserting direction is parallel to the support surface at this location. Preferably metal contact spheres are used as contact blanks. Wire sections may be also used for this purpose and inserted in an axial direction. In such instance the wire sections are welded to the support surface along one envelope line. When using a contact wire this may be fed to the electrode in considerable length from which the individual contact sections are cut off at the front end.
