Abstract: A powder carrier, to which a powder layer containing a metal powder is applied, is provided by an automatic powder carrier feed. A first joining partner is pressed onto the powder layer located on the powder carrier so as to bond a powder layer portion to the first joining partner. The first joining partner is raised from the powder carrier together with the powder layer portion bonded to the first joining partner, and the powder layer portion bonded to the first joining partner is arranged between the first and second joining partners. A sintered join is produced between the first and second joining partners by pressing the first and second joining partners against one another such that the powder layer portion makes contact with both the first and second joining partners. The powder layer portion is sintered as the joining partners are being pressed against one another.

Abstract: A method for producing a layer including a connecting medium on an assembly partner is provided. The method includes providing a carrier on which the connecting medium is applied. The connecting medium contains a metal in the form of a multiplicity of metal particles. The assembly partner is placed on the connecting medium located on the carrier and pressed onto the connecting medium located on the carrier, so that a layer of the connecting medium adheres to the assembly partner. The assembly partner together with the layer adhering thereto is removed from the carrier. By means of a gas flow, edges of the layer, at which the latter extends laterally beyond the assembly partner, are removed so that a layer residue of the layer remains adhering to the assembly partner.
