What are the benefits of laser welding head welding for cars? With the development and maturity of laser head technology, the operational reliability of laser welding head equipment has been improved. Manufacturers no longer worry about laser welding head equipment affecting the normal operation of the production line. At present, the laser head equipment equipped on the automobile production line can work continuously for 24 hours, and the failure rate is extremely low. At present, the modular design is adopted, and the maintenance is also very convenient. The technical requirements of the maintenance personnel are not high, and the maintenance time is very short. Due to the high-speed continuous operation of laser welding head equipment, the investment recovery time of manufacturers equipped with laser welding head equipment is shortened, which not only improves productivity, but also improves the quality level of automobiles. The adoption of laser head technology will also produce huge economic and social benefits.

Laser welding heads are the most widely used laser welding technology in the automotive industry. In addition, there are laser marking technology, laser cutting technology and so on. It was first used for laser head welding of automotive gearbox gear sets. Use a 213KW CW co2 laser. Equipped with necessary cleaning, compaction, rotary table, laser, water cooling system, light guide system, protective gas system and online testing equipment. The whole set of equipment can weld two pieces per minute. Through long-term operation, a complete set of laser head processing management system has been formed, and a lot of work experience has been accumulated. The feasibility of the welding technology of automobile gear laser welding head has been fully affirmed by the manufacturer, and it has become a mature fixed technology in the automobile manufacturing industry.

What are the benefits of laser welding head welding for cars? A large number of laser welding heads weld thin steel plates and steel plates of different thicknesses for automobile manufacturing. The excellent performance of laser head welding is fully utilized, and the welded thin steel plate is stamped and formed without cracking. On the one hand, for the stamping of body parts after tailor-welded steel plates with insufficient width, different parts of the body have different stress conditions and different requirements for strength and stiffness. In order to reduce the weight of the car body, usually according to the actual needs of each part, different thicknesses, different kinds of steel or plates with different surface treatment methods are selected, and they are welded together by laser welding joints before stamping. The integration of multiple perforated plates reduces many dies compared to the old technology, resulting in a reduction not only in body weight but also in cost. Additionally, the method can be used to replace older technology for bumpers, body frames and ribbed parts.
