Abstract: A method for welding conductor ends arranged on a component in a conductor end arrangement, carried out during series production of a component of an electrical machine by: A) determining a position of predetermined conductor ends of the conductor end arrangement to be welded and B) arranging a welding device at the conductor ends based on the position determined in step A). Step A) includes performing a non-contact position detection to detect the position of the conductor end, and when the position has been detected, determining the detected position as the position for carrying out step B) and storing the detected position for the predetermined conductor ends, and when the position has not been detected, determining the position for carrying out step B) based on a position previously stored for the predetermined conductor ends to be welded.
