Application Examples | Validating the replacement of Tig welding, resistance welding, and friction stir welding with laser welding

Batteries, motors, inverters, and other components are attracting attention due to the rapid increase in demand from automotive electrification. To achieve product evolution and enhance productivity, it is necessary to replace existing welding methods, including Tig welding and resistance welding, with laser welding. Our Application Laboratory can validate the introduction of laser welding for the following welding tasks:

  • Batteries | Validating the introduction of laser welding to busbar welding in module processes
  • Motors | Validating the introduction of laser welding for hairpin welding and other various welding tasks
  • Inverters | Validating the introduction of laser welding for busbar welding and aluminum die-cast casings
Application examples for batteries, motors, inverters, and other devices
