Abstract
A device for compacting and/or welding electric conductors (), in particular for producing via nodes or end nodes of stranded conductors. The device includes a first electrode, one section of which constitutes a first delimitation surface of a compacting chamber that receives the conductor, the chamber in addition being delimited by one section of a counter-electrode that forms a second delimitation surface and by at least one additional third delimitation surface that is formed by a section of a delimitation element. The inventions simplifies the construction of the device, enabling repeated compacting and welding of conductors. To achieve this, a compacting chamber has a substantially triangular open cross-section, which is surrounded by the sections of the first electrode and the counter-electrode, these sections being adjustable in relation to one another, and by the delimitation element.
