CO2 emission legislation and initiatives set by governments, the expected shortage of oil and the increasing cost of fuel result in a global requirement for alternative forms of energy.
We refer to this mega trend as E-Mobility. Specifically we focus on alternative drives, energy storage systems, concepts for lightweight design, and infrastructure.
This webinar focussed on the new technology areas of:
- welding different materials, eg aluminium+copper; aluminium+steel;
- gas-tight welding of boxes containing heat-sensitive components;
- joining with low electrical resistance;
- and new, innovative and weight-reducing geometries.
With its high flexibility, high process speed and ability to apply energy very selectively to material, laser solutions are perfect for manufacturing components of the highest quality with high productivity.
Lasers are the right tool for production of E-Mobility components - from small lot sizes to the serial production of tomorrow.
