Laser Welding Reduces Production Costs

US companies that are engaged in welding business usually use the services of European companies for developing their projects. The same thing happened here and one of the German welding companies called Manz Automation has recently received a crucial project. The name of the US Company has not discovered but the project is associated with performing works concentrated on developing and manufacturing lithium-ion battery systems.

The process of manufacturing is really complex and will involve a lot of laser welding and using this way of manufacturing will increase the performance of the batteries. The welding company forecasts a lot of work on realizing this project and qualifying this manufacturing process will be followed with the increased number of orders. The greatest benefit of this production is that the number of expenses will be significantly reduced and the price for the final product will be much lower. The battery will be used in the mobile industry and lowering production costs is a strategically important direction.

With the help of lase welding, scientists has developed the way to connect individual battery cells, turning them into a complete and fully functional system. Due to this manufacturing process, professionals exclude mixing of welds and welding is achieved thanks to high-frequency local modulation. Thanks to it, laser welding provides a chance to choose the depth and width seam independently. As a result, a welder reaches a high level of flexibility and the results are really fantastic.

Besides, laser welding is effective disregarding the material a welder will use, aluminum, bimetals, or copper. The welding parameters may be chosen taking into account what result you need to achieve. Professional welders claim that with laser welding, spot welders are possible with the speed of 3500 welds/s. Laser welding becomes really popular due to its benefits of reducing production costs.
