Motorsport Laser Welding

Motorsport - at the heart of the UK industry We are fortunate to be situated close to many famous names in motor racing and carry out diverse projects in the industry. From welding of special gears for small batches of gearboxes, to rack-and-pinion steering gear, differentials, cylinder blocks, suspension arm strengthening ribs and advanced devices at the cutting edge of racing technology, you can depend on us to keep your team in pole position. We weld aluminium alloys, steel and titanium and resolve your high-tech welding issues. Prototype work is frequently undertaken. Disk brake Case 1 - Titanium Hubs A well known rally team manufactured a set of hubs for their car which were all but finished when the designers changed a diameter. Carrs overcame the problem by adding a layer of titanium 64 all round the internal diameter for the hubs to be re-machined to the new dimension, resulting in no distortion or reduction in strength. Electric motor Case 2 - Maxon Motors Standard motors have straight plain output shafts, and need gears or actuators welding on. Laser welding is ideal for its accuracy in aligning the gear and welding it firmly in place, and the low heat input avoids damaging the motor. Carrs weld front wing trim actuators and gear selector motors for various teams.
