Application of laser in automotive industry

Automobile manufacturing is a huge system project, which requires a series of process technologies to complete. In recent years, advanced technologies represented by laser processing, industrial robots, and digital control are constantly promoting the upgrading of the automotive manufacturing industry, and laser, as an advanced processing method, is destined to bring revolutionary breakthroughs to the development of the automotive manufacturing industry!

Laser welding has become one of the important means in industrial manufacturing because of its advantages of high energy density, small deformation, narrow heat affected zone, high welding speed, easy to realize automatic control and no follow-up processing. The automobile manufacturing industry is the largest use of laser welding technology in the current industrial production industry, the flexibility of laser welding machine to meet the processing of various automotive materials, reduce the cost of automobile production, improve production efficiency, and bring huge economic benefits to the automobile manufacturing industry.

Laser cutting is one of the most commonly used laser processing methods, laser cutting types are divided into laser vaporization cutting, laser melting cutting, laser oxygen cutting and laser cutting and controlled fracture four categories. The standards to measure the cutting process are cutting speed, cutting precision, stability and reliability. In the automotive industry, laser cutting is mainly used to quickly cut body samples during the development of new models. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Fiat, Volvo, Volkswagen and other companies have five-axis laser processing machines for this work.

With the introduction of national laws and regulations on automobile safety, high requirements are put forward for the identity of automobiles and parts, and the establishment of the identity of automobiles and parts is the basis for achieving product quality traceability and recall. In order to strengthen the management of product claims, meet the requirements of vehicle defect product recall system, and realize the information collection and quality traceability of key parts.
