Joining technology 1 WEBER

Munich – Academia and the joining technology industry met in Munich for the 6th joining technology colloquium on EFB, FOSTA and DVS research. on December 7 and 8. 1110 participants were informed about the status of research into mechanical joining technology and new developments of system manufacturers at the University of Munich. WEBER Schraubautomaten GmbH sponsored two diploma students to allow them to take part in the joining colloquium. “The close alliance between industry and academia is an opportunity for technological advancements, considering the great development potential that exists in the field of joining technology“, says Robert Stützer, a technologist at WEBER. “For this reason, as one of the pioneers in mechanical joining technology, we are very keen to support brilliant minds from academia and technology”.

    FREE Webinar: Smarter fastening – Raising process quality with AI and real-time anomaly detection

    Even with modern automation, process quality and reliability can drift. Al-based algorithms and reactive screwdriving programs convert live data into in-cycle actions – detecting anomalies from batch or quality shifts and responding in real time. The outcome: higher capability, fewer rework and discards as weil as audit-ready traceability.

    The webinar provides valuable insights into:
    ✅ New capabilities enabled by AI and reactive screwdriving programs
    ✅ Implementing real-time anomaly detection in screw assembly
    ✅ Limits of current approaches

    Learn how to apply AI directly into your screwdriving process, and take your assembly line to the next level.
