A method and a device are provided for simplifying a flow-hole screw process, in which the difference between a process parameter and its smoothed value is employed as a criterion for changing said process parameter or another process parameter in order in particular to be able to determine the changeover point between hole forming and thread forming.

Method and device for monitoring and/or control of a flow-hole and thread-forming process

A method and device are provided for simplifying a flow-drill screwing process. Based on work performed during the process, a process variable E is formed. This variable is compared to analogously formed comparison values in order to be able to determine the proper or faulty running of the process.

Method and device for monitoring and/or controlling a flow-drilling and thread-forming process

Methods and devices for controlling a mechanical joining or forming process, in particular friction drilling in thin-walled materials, apply several reverse pulses acting on a process parameter to bring the course of an actual curve of the parameter more into line with the course of a predetermined nominal curve of the process parameter. The number and length of the reverse pulses and the length of the intervals between the pulses are determined as a function of at least one immediately detectable variable associated with the process parameter.
