Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus for a welding tool includes a determination module for determining a normalized displacement signal, in which a deflection of a tong-shaped tool, due to an effect of a mechanical force generated on the tool during a work process using the tong-shaped tool, is compensated for. The control apparatus further includes a force regulation module for regulating a progression of the force which the tong-shaped tool applies to at least one component during the work process on at least one component. The force regulation module is configured to regulate the progression of the force during the work process based on the normalized displacement signal.
