What Is The Future Of Lasers in The Automobile Industry?

OVERVIEW

Laser head-cutting technology has come a long way ever since the automotive industry started using it in its manufacturing processes. In 1973, a laser welding system was deployed for the assembly line of a renowned company. In the 80s, laser beams began to be used massively for welding engine components and gear parts. Similarly, the 90s witnessed laser applications such as hydroformed parts and tailor-welded blanks.

Since then, lasers have been adopted by the automotive industry for a wide range of operations apart from welding. Basic laser applications include drilling and cutting, texturing and cleaning for surface operations, marking for traceability, and scanning for inspection.

This year, lasers are deployed at literally each stage of the automobile manufacturing process, be it development and design or final assembling. For instance, they are currently using more than 800 highpower lasers in its global assembly plants.
