Automotive Laser Welding

Automotive - keeping you on the road Carrs Welding assemble and laser weld numerous parts for the car industry, from clutch plates to collapsible steering column assemblies, sensors to gear trains. Larger transmission components are welded on disk lasers, where the laser penetrates up to 10mm. Dissimilar metals may now be successfully welded together to create an assembly for example for a differential or a gearbox. Today, complex components such as CV joints can be welded fully assembled with no fear of weld spatter or of heat distortion damaging the heat treatment or affecting precision tolerances. Advances in laser welding technology enable many processes to be performed which were previously not possible with conventional welding methods.
