Today, there is no modern vehicle on the streets, in which laser was not applied. Whether laser welded tailored blanks, gear components or car keys – the applications are manifold. In the process the employment of modern scanner technology plays an increasingly important role besides the already known advantages of laser technology. Such scanners allow for maximal efficiency of the beam sources and thus increase productivity. With up to 200 welded joints per minute and with insignificant welding downtime the large capacity remote welding, for instance, took root mainly in the production of automobile rear car seats.
Within the shortest possible time multi spot welds of any geometry can be generated with Dynamic Beam Welding System (Remote or Scanner Welding Systems) in a very large work space. This system technology is applied amongst others in the production of automobile seats and mountings.
For this application we recommend the: RWSflex, SWS
Long fiber optics in connection with modern robots make diode-pumped solid-state lasers a perfect tool in the highly automated welding of carriages – independent of applied material and metal gauge.
For this application we recommend the: FL Series
The welding of gear components using laser could be established already a long time ago due to its advantages such as low maintenance costs, low distortions at the work piece, high flexibility and simple automation.
For this application we recommend the: DC Series
Spot and seam welding with the laser are primarily applied for particulate, mechanic and electro-mechanic work pieces, for example when contacting spark plug connectors and power electronics, for sensors and airbag detonators. Also heavily stressed screwed fastenings are replaced through fine welding. As in many cases copper or aluminum have to be processed high pulse peak capacities of up to 20 kW are applied.
For this applications we recommend the: StarPulse, StarFiber
The transmission welding entirely displaces the joints into the inner part of the join partner, works with minimal heat input and leaves perfect surfaces. This way, also sensitive components – for instance sensors – can be welded gas-proof. One of the most well-known fields of application for plastics welding using the laser is car keys that are common today. The laser welds all thermoplastic and thermoplastic elastomeric bonds, pressure-sealed and with high stability.
