A connection assembly is provided and includes a first conductor, a second conductor and a friction stir welded connection connecting the first conductor and the second conductor, with the second conductor having a bundle of conductor wires. The friction stir welded connection is provided by a friction stir welding tool having a pin connecting a front side of the second conductor pressed onto the first conductor along a connecting direction between the first conductor and the second conductor.

Method for joining two or more electrical conductors, device for joining two or more electrical conductors, and electrical connection between two or more conductors

An arrangement for electrically conductively connecting a cup shaped copper contact part to an electrical conductor that is made of a plurality of individual wires containing aluminum. The arrangement has a cup-shaped contact part, which includes a bottom and a cylindrical sleeve integrally connected to and projecting away from the bottom with tight contact of the sleeve to the conductor. The cup-shaped contact part is configured to be pushed onto the conductor until the end face of the conductor rests against the bottom of the contact part. At least one rotating tool is configured to be removably placed with sustained pressure, subsequently to the cup-shaped contact part, until the material of the conductor is softened due to the increased temperature of the material of the conductor due to friction to such an extent that it integrally connects to the contact part.

A cast part includes a metallic functional region. The functional region extends in a first direction from a first side to a second side of the cast part. The cast part has a surrounding region at least partially surrounding the functional region. The functional region is shaped by a friction-based process. Further disclosed is a piece of equipment, such as an electrical machine which includes a further component and a device for securing the further component against twisting. The device has a connection between the functional region of the cast part and the further component.

The system comprises a buckling arm robot with a robot frame () and an articulated arm () and a fiber optic cable () which is connected to one end of the articulated arm () and through which a laser beam () with a beam axis () is coupled into the articulated arm () in the direction of a first axis of the articulated arm (). The fiber optic cable () is indirectly connected to the stationary end of the articulated arm () via an alignment unit () which comprises a collimating lens system () and at least two alignment mirrors (), each of which mirrors can swivel about at least one axis of rotation and move along at least one axis of translation, with the axes of rotation and the axes of translation being disposed at right angles to each other so that the beam axis () of the laser beam () can be made to coincide with the optical axis ().
