Car body welding with laser radiation
Abstract
In the paper, some examples are discussed concerning overlap and butt welding of zinc-coated and uncoated plates of a typical thickness between 0.7 mm and 4 mm. A 5kW laser is used for welding, combined with a roboter system and a gantry. Both, laser beam welding of plates cut with a laser as well as the costs per meter of the welding seam as a function of plate thickness will be discussed. Criteria for the acceptance of laser tooling are presented.
