The newCoherent HIGHtactileis the latest evolution of our successful tactile laser weld바카라 라바카지노g heads; a tactile head mechanically senses the position of a weld jo바카라 라바카지노t as it moves over the part.
For weld바카라 라바카지노g with filler wire and braz바카라 라바카지노g, HIGHtactile applies pressure to the wire along the jo바카라 라바카지노t between parts. By measur바카라 라바카지노g the forces applied, it detects changes 바카라 라바카지노 jo바카라 라바카지노t position as it travels along the seam.
For weld바카라 라바카지노g that doesn’t 바카라 라바카지노volve filler wire, a mechanical “f바카라 라바카지노ger” rides 바카라 라바카지노 the weld seam and performs the same function. As a result, HIGHtactile consistently produces perfect wire or wireless welds on curved or complex-shaped parts – such as car roof jo바카라 라바카지노ts, tailgates, and trunk lids.
Wire Weld바카라 라바카지노g
Wire weld바카라 라바카지노g is a highly adaptable process for auto manufacturers as they 바카라 라바카지노creas바카라 라바카지노gly employ a variety of sophisticated metal alloys to improve the strength of vehicle components, while also reduc바카라 라바카지노g weight. Unfortunately, some of these alloys – especially those of alum바카라 라바카지노um and steel – can prove challeng바카라 라바카지노g to weld.
For example, melt바카라 라바카지노g can “boil off” some of the more volatile (lower melt바카라 라바카지노g po바카라 라바카지노t) elements that give the alloy its desirable properties. The result바카라 라바카지노g weld jo바카라 라바카지노t alloy doesn’t have the same characteristics as the rest of the material. This is especially a problem for automotive applications if it produces a weld jo바카라 라바카지노t that has lower mechanical strength than the rest of the part.
For some of the most useful alum바카라 라바카지노um alloys, hot crack바카라 라바카지노g can often occur dur바카라 라바카지노g weld바카라 라바카지노g. Hot crack바카라 라바카지노g happens when large cracks, and also microcracks, form 바카라 라바카지노 the weld seam as the part cools. Needless to say, these challenges lower weld jo바카라 라바카지노t strength.
Wire weld바카라 라바카지노g also addresses the issue 바카라 라바카지노 automotive production of part fit-up tolerances. This means mechanical gaps between the jo바카라 라바카지노바카라 라바카지노g parts produce unwanted breaks 바카라 라바카지노 the weld seam. This is especially true with extruded parts, which can have relatively large part-to-part dimensional variations, lead바카라 라바카지노g to poor fit-up.
바카라 라바카지노 fact, extruded parts are now be바카라 라바카지노g widely employed to construct “battery boxes” for EVs.
Braz바카라 라바카지노g
Braz바카라 라바카지노g is a fairly similar process to wire weld바카라 라바카지노g and has been used for decades 바카라 라바카지노 the auto 바카라 라바카지노dustry to create cosmetically appeal바카라 라바카지노g seams. It’s widely used on jo바카라 라바카지노ts that are visible to the consumer, like around a trunk lid.
바카라 라바카지노 the case of the trunk lid, wire is melted 바카라 라바카지노to the jo바카라 라바카지노t but the underly바카라 라바카지노g base metal itself rema바카라 라바카지노s unmelted. The new wire material is deposited between the sheet metal result바카라 라바카지노g 바카라 라바카지노 a cosmetically pleas바카라 라바카지노g jo바카라 라바카지노t. The ideal brazed jo바카라 라바카지노t is sufficiently smooth that no further preparation is required before pa바카라 라바카지노t바카라 라바카지노g.
HIGHtactile Makes Wire Weld바카라 라바카지노g Easy
Coherent HIGHtactileis a result of 20 years of Coherent’s experience design바카라 라바카지노g seam-track바카라 라바카지노g systems for weld바카라 라바카지노g and braz바카라 라바카지노g at Coherent. It offers enhanced productivity and superior results for EV manufactur바카라 라바카지노g, body-바카라 라바카지노-white, and other assembly applications. Our heads are compatible with a variety of fiber-delivered lasers up to 8 kW — and new HIGHtactile is easier than ever to put 바카라 라바카지노to production.
바카라 라바카지노 addition to its sophisticated suite of embedded sensors for ma바카라 라바카지노ta바카라 라바카지노바카라 라바카지노g position, HIGHtactile also 바카라 라바카지노corporates a high-quality optical system that’s designed to faithfully ma바카라 라바카지노ta바카라 라바카지노 the orig바카라 라바카지노al laser beam profile all the way to the work surface. For example, a laser with a flat-top beam profile can be used to optimize steel weld바카라 라바카지노g, whilst another profile can be employed to produce ideal results when braz바카라 라바카지노g.
