LASER TECHNOLOGY FOR THE EV INDUSTRY
The automobile industry is being shaken by the fast growth in demand and production of electric vehicles. Quality and manufacturing requirements for battery and electric motor components are forcing manufacturers to improve their installations in order to participate in this new automotive age.
The EV transition relies heavily on laser technology. Busbars, battery packs, housings, cells, modules, cans, caps, lids, foils, tabs, and hairpins are among the items that it is used to label, clean, and weld. Fiber lasers provide a faster, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly alternative to old mechanical processes, opening the way for the future of electric vehicle production.
LASER APPLICATIONS IN THE EV INDUSTRY
Laser Marking
A high-contrast, long-lasting mark is the foundation of foolproof traceability. You can do exactly that with our high-speed lasers while still meeting your production targets.
Laser Cutting
With its high-precision laser, fiber laser cutting can swiftly and accurately cut the component you desire, completing the cutting operation correctly and setting the path for future welding and marking activities.
Laser Welding
Pulsed fiber lasers are suitable for welding a large number of tiny regions because of their fast speed and small heat-affected zone. They make it possible for producers to achieve excellent welding quality while automating the process.
EV PARTS BENEFITING FROM LASER TECHNOLOGY
BATTERY CELLS
Lasers play a key role in the production of lithium-ion battery, ensuring the highest level of productivity and reliability. Applications includes:
- Electrode and battery cell cleaning and texturing
- High-contrast laser marking of components for optimal durability
BATTERY PACKS
The battery pack is the most important component of an electric vehicle. There are a variety of laser uses:
- To link cells in circuits, high-speed laser welding with minimal heat is used.
- Increase the surface area of contact points using laser cleaning to improve battery efficiency.
- High-contrast laser labeling of essential parts with greatest durability
ELECTRIC MOTORS
Laser applications in electric motor production can help provide cleaner, quicker, and more dependable outcomes. To replace inefficient mechanical processes, lasers are utilized in all components, including differentials, hairpins, busbars, rotor shafts, gear wheels, stators, and housings.
Among the applications are:
- Copper hairpins are laser welded and cleaned.
- To considerably increase the components’ service life, laser hardening is used.
- Critical components are laser-marked.
THE BENEFITS OF LASER TECHNOLOGY IN THE EV INDUSTRY
Meet Your Production Goals
Lasers are available in a variety of power levels that may be scaled to fit a variety of manufacturing needs. Manufacturers are better off using a single high-power laser rather than numerous low-power lasers in most cases because they can reduce footprint and complexity.
Control Quality with a Precise Process
Laser technology is the greatest approach to regulate the quality of your production operations because of its unequaled accuracy. Because of Chutian Laser’s vision expertise, we can combine the high precision of our lasers with sensor cameras to produce near flawless repeatability independent of positional fluctuations.
Adopt a Green Technology
Laser technology is in accord with the aims of the EV sector since it replaces polluting technologies with greener ones. Fiber lasers do not require consumables and have a longer working life than other lasers, resulting in less waste and less equipment maintenance.
