- sheets to be joined can be provided with a flange, that is to say an angled edge.
- connecting flanges can be produced in which the flanges of the metal sheets to be joined strike each other flat and thus form a joint with a flange plane.
- DE 10 2004 044601 A1 discloses a method in which the sheets are overlap-deformed in the overlap by the deliberate attachment of revolving clamping elements in such a way that a degassing gap is produced in order to improve the welding quality.
- a degassing gap is produced in order to improve the welding quality.
- DE 102 48955 B3 discloses a method in which the connection of 3 sheets is possible by the use of two, one from above and one from below laser beams by means of running clamping technique in conjunction with a degassing.
- DE 10 2004 041502 A1 discloses a method in which the vapor capillary is stabilized by modulation of the laser radiation and an improved welding result is produced.
- the determination of the required modulation properties is essentially based on the empirical determination, which requires some effort in determining the modulation characteristics for specific components.
- DE 102 61507 A1 discloses a method in which the overlapping sheets in the weld area meet at an acute angle to each other and that the weld in the region or close to the curvature of one of the sheets is designed as a fillet weld.
- DE 100 06852 C5 describes a method in which the filler material in the form of a wire is used as a mechanical probe element and the wire tip melting off the energy beam is frictionally passed along the material surface is guided.
- the beam direction when joining sheet metal flange joints in body construction is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the flange plane, ie transversely through the sheets to be joined. Accordingly, if the laser flanges are used for laser joining, such as, for example, door-mounted clamping systems or sills, the alignment of the laser beam is parallel or substantially parallel to the direction of force of the clamping or pressing technique. Usual angles are 0 ° ..15 °, maximum angles 20 °.
- connection cross-section can not be increased beyond the material thickness of the top plate. Due to the necessary welding angle to the component, the clamping technology must ensure appropriate accessibility, which is often only possible in conjunction with relatively large flange dimensions. These relatively large sheet metal flanges are not desirable in connection with the mass reduction and fuel economy sought in vehicle construction.

- the flanges of the sheet metal parts to be joined can be joined to a connecting flange by means of laser joining and the metal sheets are connected to one another in the region of the joint joint formed by their abutting flanges.
- the use of high and ultra high strength automotive materials to reduce mass makes it necessary to increase the bond cross-sections of the joint because of the reduced strength at the joint.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible, on the basis of the more favorable seam geometry, to increase the connection cross-sections with the same sheet thickness and to make the seam inspectable.
- the process and clamping technique can be designed so that the realization of minimum flange dimensions is possible because of the more favorable arrangement.
- an alternating welding of multi-plate connections in a single operation is possible without increasing the process time, which provides additional freedom in implementing particularly safe and cost-effective joining concepts.
- the invention is based on the finding that the seam strength and production in laser joining sheet metal parts with flanges can be improved in particular in bodywork and simultaneous shorter flanges are made possible by the welding of the laser beam parallel or substantially parallel to the impact plane in flush or largely flush position of the Sheet edges are carried out with simultaneous use of provided in the machining head follower clamping technology and the integrated seam guide, which is particularly advantageous when welding flange connections to door entrances or window openings in the body.

- the main clamping direction F ie the direction of the acting clamping force, of the counteracting pairs of forces runs in contrast to the prior art substantially perpendicular to the parting plane of the flanges. 2
- the weld may be made as a continuous joint or stitched seam.
- the precise alignment of the laser beam 1 on the processing point 4 is performed by the device.
- a part of the device is fixedly connected to a guiding machine, for example an industrial robot, while other parts are movable relative to the guiding machine and thus allow a seam guide through the device.
- a seam guide is required.
- this can be done both mechanically tactually by means of integrated mechanical or optical seam guidance in conjunction with integrated compensation axis.
- the compensation axis may misalignments of the device and sheets to be joined to each other due to inaccuracies of positioning by the Guide machine and / or the sheets to be joined compensate and avoids damage to guide machine, component or device.
- the positioning of the laser beam 1 takes place via the tensioning means 5, by means of a beam guiding device, e.g. a beam guiding optics, and the clamping means are mechanically or otherwise coupled such that a deflection of the clamping means causes a corresponding deflection of the laser beam.
- a beam guiding device e.g. a beam guiding optics
- the clamping means are mechanically or otherwise coupled such that a deflection of the clamping means causes a corresponding deflection of the laser beam.
- This is at least one lateral seam guide (in the Y direction, see Figure 5) possible, which is usually sufficient.
- the seam guide would also be possible in the spacing direction (in the Z direction, see FIG. 5).
- An optical seam guide in conjunction with at least one controllable compensation axis allows a non-contact scanning of the joining position independently of the relative position of the clamping means to the processing point.
- the position of the laser beam can be changed during use of controllable compensation axes during the machining process and adapted to the machining conditions.
- an optical seam guiding sensor system for example by means of a light-section method, permits a measurement of the joint gap and possibly an adaptation of machining parameters.
- Fig. 2 shows a lap joint with Stirneinsch regularlyung as Dreibelchharm. It is preferably designed as a stitching, since in the welding breaks of the left connection, the welding of the right connection (dashed lines) can take place.

- a controllable compensation axis can be used with a corresponding inventive embodiment.
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the three-plate connection of Fig. 2 is shown.
- the welds are offset to each other.
- the switching time between the Machining positions leads to gaps between the stitches.
- This principle can also be used for the welding of 4 or more layers of sheet metal, since the accessibility for the laser beam is given and the impact can be swept over almost simultaneously by the laser beam.
- running clamping means 5 cause the sheets 2 to be pressed together.
- the seam is guided by means of integrated optical seam guidance in conjunction with at least one compensating axis integrated in the device.
- the reduction of the laser spot to about half the sheet thickness is a good way to minimize zinc burn-off and to obtain the corrosion protection and at the same time to improve the strength through greater penetration depth.
- Such a small laser spot requires the use of a seam guide, but causes less process heat with less resulting distortion, the reduction of necessary laser power and the increase of the process speed with the same or even higher connection cross-section.
- the trailing clamping technology is required to ensure the contact of the components and to minimize the seam incidence. At the same time, it is possible to dispense with stationary clamping technology.
- the welding of the front side makes it possible to sweep the zinc layers of the abutting sheets during joining with the so-called keyhole in the joining zone so that the resulting zinc vapor can flow largely unhindered upwards through the so-called keyhole.
- the ejections as they occur at an I seam at the overlap with zero gap, are avoided.
- An elaborate Entgasungsunterstützung can thus be omitted.
- Fig. 4 shows a lap joint with Stirneinsch conductedung as ZweibelchQ with offset of the right sheet with respect to the processing point 4.
- a lateral angle 6 away from the protruding sheet can be adjusted , as shown in Fig. 4 in section. This makes it possible to avoid shading of the laser beam by the protruding part of the sheet 2 'and still achieve the required connection cross-section at the bottom of the joint. This can also be transferred to multi-sheet connections.
