With its precision, versatility, and efficiency, laser technology can play a crucial role in shaping the future of the automotive industry. In the previous article, we explored how lasers provide innovative solutions for manufacturing advanced automotive components that align with industry development trends, ranging from welding to marking and engraving. In this article, HGTECH will explore the laser applications in smart factory, cleaning, and cutting.

Smart Factory

With the rapid development of automotive industry and metal industry, the demand for developing flexible intelligent production equipment has become an urgent requirement to cater to the industry's needs.

Uncoiling and Blanking Line

The high-speed three-head laser uncoiling and blanking line integrates the concepts of uncoiling and laser cutting. It adopts three-head dynamic cutting technology, achieving efficient and intelligent production of sheet metal products. This equipment ranks first in China's high-end cutting and blanking equipment and reaches the leading domestic and advanced international level of technology.

Automated Laser Cutting Processing Material Warehouse

The flexible sheet metal processing line combines laser cutting equipment, loading and unloading equipment, intelligent sorting equipment, sheet metal material storage, RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle), and intelligent hoists into one production line. It achieves full automation from the feeding, conveying, stacking, to unloading of metal materials. This ensures high flexibility, high quality, high efficiency, and saves labor resources in sheet metal processing.

Automotive Tire Mold and Piston Laser Cleaning

Laser cleaning for automotive tire molds and pistons offers numerous advantages compared to traditional cleaning methods. It is more environmentally friendly as the laser cleaning process does not involve the use of chemical solvents or other harmful substances, reducing environmental pollution. It is also safer because it eliminates the need for high-pressure water or corrosive chemicals, reducing the risk of exposure to hazardous materials for operators. Additionally, laser cleaning is highly efficient, quickly removing dirt, grease, and oxide layers, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and production speed.

Automotive Component Cleaning

Mainly includes:

50. Pre-welding cleaning of gearbox gears
50. Cleaning of aluminum alloy components

Electric Vehicle Cleaning

50. Pre-welding and post-welding cleaning of all-aluminum car body
