Automotive manufacturers utilize the advantages of laser cutting, such as the high quality of cutting edges, the low heat input into the material as well as the high processing speeds when working with a variety of work pieces around the car. Thereby, a variety of materials is processed: Besides a multitude of metals also materials such as airbag cloth and composites for interior room parts are cut with the laser. Owing to the good possibility of automation, also complex work piece geometries and various cutting edges can be easily generated.
Due to modern robotics in combination with solid-state lasers and fiber optics necessary cut-outs such as apertures for antennas or right-left-rods can also be applied at complex automobile geometries.
For this application we recommend the: FL Series
Partly, final adaptations of the carriage geometry are necessary for furnishing options although the vehicle is already painted completely. Q-switched lasers thus generate laser cuts, which do not damage the surface. The cut out piece remains in place and can be taken out defined.
For this application we recommend the: StarDisc, DQ Series
Today, door lining, coverings and ceilings are processed as three-dimensional work pieces through extrusion, lamination and forming. It is the laser’s task to finally trim the work piece for exact dimensions, to facilitate apertures and holes as well as perforations for the subsequent manufacturing steps.
