Example of laser parts in the automotive industry:
- Laser processing of powertrain elements, incl. engine & transmission parts, crossbeam & drive shafts (dual-clutch transmissions, multi-disc carriers, drive plates, etc.)
- Laser welding of coupling bodies with welding depths from 0.5 mm up to differential housings with ring gear (welding depths >7mm, e.g. made of cast material / nitrided steel).
- Laser welding of electric motors such as stators, rotors, rotor laminations, bearings, shafts and lubricant inlets.
- Laser welding of chassis elements, especially elements that have to withstand high forces (e.g., B-pillar)
- Laser processing of interior components such as headrests, seat structures and safety-relevant components such as airbag installations, drive shafts, etc.
- Laser processing of lightweight parts with aluminum, high-strength steel or fiber-reinforced materials
- Additive laser cladding (LMD) with special metallic powder for improved protection against wear and tear
