Abstract
A method and apparatus for welding lines having metallic braids or strands to form an end node or transit node by introducing a first portion of each line into a compression space of an ultrasonic welding apparatus, wherein the first portions run along a straight line, wherein at least one line has a component at a distance from the end node or transit node to be welded, and at least the line which has the component is attenuated between the compression space and the contact element in a second portion by a change in profile of the line which is imposed using a deflection device. To this end, the line which has the component is oriented in extension of the straight line.
