The impact of laser marking technology on automobiles

Cars have become an indispensable means of transportation in most families. When consumers buy cars, they often pay attention to safety. And people with better taste pay more attention to the shape design of the car. As car designers, they will think about more issues than this. Of course, safety and shape design must be considered. As businessmen, they often also consider manufacturing costs and components. Today, however, the emergence of laser technology has saved car designers a lot of trouble. Laser technology has been vividly displayed in the automotive industry and has had a huge impact on the automotive industry.

The impact of laser technology on the automotive industry

To say that in the late 1980s, laser technology and the automotive industry had already collided. German Audi, Mercedes-Benz and other European car manufacturers took the lead in using laser welding of sheet metal welding such as roof, body and side frames. By the 1990s, GM, Ford and Chrysler had introduced laser technology into the automobile manufacturing industry.

Today, with the rapid development of the times, the reform of the automobile industry is also imperative. The auto parts industry is transitioning from large batches to small batches and diversified production methods.

Laser technology can quickly adapt to many materials and sizes. It plays an important role in marking, cutting and other fields.

In the automotive field, laser marking technology plays an important role in the materials of metal parts and non-metal parts. For example, say car labels, nameplates, etc.

Advantages of Laser Marking Technology

1. Laser marking is permanent

The marking using laser marking is not affected by time and environment, the marking effect cannot be imitated or higher, and the anti-counterfeiting function is strong;

2. Laser marking belongs to non-contact processing

The energy carrier of laser marking is a beam with a highly consistent wavelength. Its advantage is that it does not generate any mechanical stress when the surface of the object is processed, has no effect on the mechanical properties of the material itself, and has no chemical pollution and noise pollution.

3. The laser marking technology has strong adaptability

It can mark most metal or non-metal materials, and also supports a variety of two-dimensional code technologies and file formats generated by a variety of graphics software, which can be said to be very versatile. input;

4. The marking effect is extremely fine

The minimum diameter of the focused spot can reach 0.01 mm or even smaller;

5. Low operating cost

The purchase price of laser equipment may be higher than that of traditional marking equipment, but laser marking is fast, low energy consumption, easy to automate management, and does not require general consumables. It has absolute advantages in terms of cost of use and comprehensive benefits.
