Abstract:
A device for producing by laser energy a plurality of connections between contact elements of respective contact element pairs which are arranged essentially in one plane, the contact element surfaces to be connected extending essentially parallel to this plane, said device comprising the following features:a holding arrangement holding a plurality of optical fibres having respective optical fibre ends;a means for positioning the holding arrangement and the contact elements pairs at a predetermined position relative to one another, at which a respective optical fibre end is associated with a pair of contact elements, the connections surfaces of the contact elements of said pair of contact elements being pressed onto one another by a pressure applied by said optical fibre end; anda means for compensating different distances between the optical fibre ends and the surfaces of the associated contact element pairs facing said optical fibre ends, in such a way that the connection surfaces of the contact elements are pressed onto one another.
