Abstract:
1. A clamping device for components to be joined, which clamping device comprises: a first component holder for a first component, a second component holder for a second component, and a clamping structure which secures the component holders relative to one another in a joining position, and when the component holders are in the joining position, the clamping structure extends from an external face of the first component holder to an external face of the second component holder facing away from the external face of the first component holder and extends respectively around a peripheral edge of the component holders, wherein the clamping structure comprises a first structure part connected to the first component holder and a second structure part connected to the second component holder, and the structure parts can be connected to one another and released from another, and the region of the clamping structure extending around the peripheral edge can be moved relative to the component holders by pivoting about a rotation axis coinciding with a clamping direction, wherein the clamping structure forms a frame which extends around the component holders on two sides of the peripheral edge.
