Zusammenfassung:Joining apparatus (12) for joining joining elements (48) onto workpieces (54), comprising a joining element holding device (32), which is configured to radially hold a joining element (48), and comprising a loading pin arrangement (40), which is configured to slide a joining element (48) axially into a holding position (H) in the joining element holding device (32), and/or to axially support the joining element (48) during a joining process, wherein the loading pin arrangement (40) has a loading pin (44), which is slidable by means of a loading pin actuator arrangement (60) in the direction of the joining element holding device (32). The loading pin arrangement (60) is here designed to variably establish a loading pin stroke (100, 106) of the loading pin (44) between at least two stages, so that in a first stage the loading pin (44) is displaceable less far in the direction of the joining element holding device (32) than in a second stage.
